"This is ridiculous."Wren glared at the two warriors who had been assigned to follow her everywhere she went. They stood like statues beside the workshop door, their faces blank and their postures rigid as tree trunks. They had been trailing her since dawn, their eyes tracking her every movement like she was a rabbit and they were hawks waiting to strike."Orders of the Alpha," one of them said flatly. His voice held no warmth, no sympathy. Just cold duty. "You are not to be left unguarded.""I am trying to research. Your presence is distracting." She gestured at the journals spread across the worktable, at the half-finished notes she had been struggling to write. "How am I supposed to concentrate with two hulking wolves breathing down my neck?"Neither warrior moved. Neither warrior answered. They simply stood there, immovable as mountains, their expressions carved from stone.Wren turned back to her aunt's journals with a frustrated sigh that came from deep in her chest. Two days h

"You know them."Cain's voice was not a question. He stood before her in the privacy of her room, arms crossed over his broad chest, silver eyes fixed on her face with an intensity that made it impossible to look away.Wren sank onto the edge of her bed. Her legs would not hold her anymore. The strength had drained out of her the moment she heard that name—Shadow Fang—and now she was nothing but hollow bones and trembling flesh."They killed my family." The words came out flat. Empty. As if she were speaking about someone else's tragedy, someone else's loss. "Shadow Fang attacked our village in the middle of the night. No warning. No reason given. Just fire and death."Cain said nothing. He simply listened, his expression unreadable."They set fire to the houses while people slept. Blocked the doors so no one could escape. And then they hunted us through the streets—anyone who managed to get out, anyone who tried to run." Her voice cracked, but she forced herself to continue. "My pare

"Enough."Cain's voice cut through the tension like a blade through silk. He stood at the end of the hallway, silver eyes blazing with cold fury. His presence filled the space, commanding and absolute, leaving no room for defiance.The widow's hand dropped to her side. Her body trembled, but not with fear—with rage. With the desperate, consuming rage of someone who had lost everything and needed someone to blame."Alpha, she could have saved him!" The widow's voice rose to a shriek. "She stood there doing nothing while my Jonas bled to death! She is a healer—everyone says so—and she let him die!""Wren's gift does not work on command." Cain's voice was hard as iron. Final as death. "She could not have helped Jonas.""You do not know that! No one knows that! She did not even try!""I do know." Cain stepped forward, and the crowd parted before him like water before a ship. Every wolf in that hallway shrank back from the power radiating from him. "Her magic requires a connection to the p

Sleep did not come.Every time Wren closed her eyes, she saw Jonas's face. The way the light left his eyes like a candle being snuffed out. The sound of his mate's screams, raw and broken and endless. The pool of blood spreading across the stones, black in the torchlight.She rolled onto her back and stared at the ceiling. The darkness pressed down on her like a weight, heavy and suffocating. Her room—which had seemed like such a luxury when she first arrived—now felt like a prison cell. The soft bed mocked her. The clean sheets felt like an accusation.How could she rest in comfort when a man lay dead because of her choice?"I made the right choice," she told herself, her voice thin in the silence. "Trying would have killed me. The magic does not work without connection. I would have died for nothing."But the words felt like lies. Comfortable lies that she told herself to avoid the uglier truth.She had been afraid. Not afraid of death—she had made peace with that possibility long a

"Move! Get them to the healer's station now!"The shout cut through the night like a blade. Wren followed Thorne toward the pack house courtyard, her heart pounding against her ribs so hard she thought it might break free.The scene before her was chaos.Three warriors lay on makeshift stretchers, their bodies covered in blood and dirt and things Wren did not want to name. Pack members rushed around them in a frantic dance, barking orders and carrying supplies and trying not to slip in the pools of crimson that spread across the stone. The smell of iron hung thick in the air, so strong she could taste it on her tongue."Where is the healer?" someone yelled, their voice cracking with desperation."Coming! He is coming!"Wren pressed herself against a wall, trying to stay out of the way. She was not supposed to be here. She was not part of this pack, not really. She was just the outsider, the prisoner, the healer who would not heal.But her gift would not be silent. It pushed against he

"Elara warned him," Wren whispered to herself, fingers tracing the faded ink on the journal page. "She knew what he was. She knew what he would become."The words blurred before her eyes. She had been reading for hours now, long after the sun had set and the candles had burned low. The workshop was silent except for the occasional crackle of the dying fire and the sound of her own breathing. But she could not stop turning pages. Every entry pulled her deeper into a past she never knew existed.This place could be home.Cain's words echoed in her mind, stubborn and persistent. She hated how much she wanted that to be true. She hated how the thought of belonging somewhere—of having a place where she was wanted—made her chest ache with a longing she had buried years ago."Stop it," she muttered to herself, pressing her palms against the worn wooden table. "He is still the enemy. He is still a wolf. He is still the man who bought you like property."But even as she said the words, they fe
