ログインAlison's POVI had never imagined I’d be standing in a quiet motel room, holding a small bag of food, watching him. Leonard. The man whose presence alone made the air feel heavier, who somehow commanded attention without even trying. The first time I saw him, in that dim bar on the outskirts of Sliver Fang, I thought he was just another Alpha too full of himself. But the moment he spoke, looked at me—really looked at me—I realized I had been wrong.He wasn’t like anyone I had met before. Calm, controlled, sharp, and yet there was a spark beneath it, something dangerous, something that made me aware of every movement I made. I had come there on instinct, on curiosity, not knowing exactly why I had agreed to meet him after that night, but the answer became obvious quickly: he made me feel alive.From the first drink we shared, to the laugh that slipped out unexpectedly, I felt a freedom I hadn’t felt in years. Not like a recklessness, but a clarity, a knowing that he saw me. That he did
Draven’s POVSomething felt wrong the moment I stepped onto the training grounds, and it wasn’t the kind of feeling you could ignore or brush aside as nerves before a big race. It sat low in my chest, heavy and quiet, like a warning I hadn’t fully understood yet but couldn’t shake off either. I slowed my steps as I walked in, my eyes moving across the riders, taking in everything without saying a word at first.They were too loud.Too restless.Too… off.Engines were already running even though no one had given the signal to start, and instead of the usual focus I had come to expect from them under Allene’s training, there was something else in the air. A kind of wild energy that didn’t belong here. One of them nearly clipped another bike and didn’t even bother to apologize, just laughed it off like it was nothing, like control didn’t matter anymore.That wasn’t how we trained.That wasn’t what she taught them.I stopped a few steps behind her, watching as she tried to gather them, h
Allene’s POVSomething was wrong.I felt it before I even understood it.The moment I stepped into the training grounds that morning, the air felt… off. Heavy. Loud in a strange way. The racers were already there, engines running, voices raised, movements sharp and restless like they had been waiting too long for something.Too much energy.Too much noise.Too much… aggression.I stood there for a moment, just watching, my eyes moving from one rider to another. One of them nearly knocked into another bike, not even slowing down, just shouting something and speeding off like it didn’t matter.That wasn’t normal.Not here.Not under my training.“Line up!” I called out, my voice cutting through the noise.It took longer than usual for them to respond. A few ignored me at first. One even laughed like I had made a joke.My chest tightened.That had never happened before.“Now,” I said again, firmer this time.Slowly, they came together, but even then, they couldn’t stay still. Some were s
Leo ard povThe door had barely closed behind Kattie before the room fell into silence again.Leonard stood there for a while, not moving, his eyes still on the door like he could see through it. His expression did not change, but something in his gaze shifted slowly, like pieces in his mind were settling into place.Then, after a few seconds, he let out a quiet breath and turned away.He picked up his glass again, staring into the drink, watching the liquid move slightly with his hand. Everything was working. Slowly, but it was working. Kattie was doing her part, the racers had already taken what was given to them, and soon, very soon, things would begin to fall apart inside Obsidian.And when they did… he would be ready.A soft knock came at the door again.This time, he did not hesitate.“Come in.”The door opened gently, and she stepped in.The woman from the night before.She carried a small bag in her hand, the smell of food filling the room almost immediately. She looked relaxe
Kattie’s POVThe motel looked the same as always, quiet and almost empty, like a place that belonged to no one and everyone at the same time. Kattie paused for a long moment outside, crossing her arms lightly over her chest, feeling the cool air brush against her skin. She told herself she was calm, that she had thought everything through, but inside, her stomach twisted. Something about today felt different.Something about Leonard felt… different. The calm that he’d shown at the council didn’t ease her nerves—it made her nervous in a way that only those who had seen his temper knew. Calm Leonard could be worse than angry Leonard.Calmer meant he was thinking, and thinking meant he was dangerous.Her boots clicked softly against the concrete as she walked down the narrow hallway, her steps slower than usual. She tried to rehearse what she would say, how she would apologize without giving away too much, how she could gauge what he was thinking without making him suspicious. Her mind
– Leonard’s Father POVThe room was quiet. Too quiet. The kind of quiet that makes you notice everything—the sound of your own breathing, the faint creak of the floor, the distant hum of life outside. Leonard’s father stood by the window, hands clasped behind his back, shoulders stiff, posture rigid as always. From the outside, he looked calm, controlled. The Alpha everyone expected him to be. The one who never wavered. But inside, his mind was anything but still.The pack grounds stretched below him. Wolves moved through the morning mist, training, laughing, living their lives. To anyone else, it was normal. Peaceful. Strong. But he saw it differently. Every figure moving below was a reflection of what could go wrong.Every wolf represented a decision Leonard had made, or failed to make. And he had made too many mistakes lately.A knock came at the door. Sharp, precise. He did not move. He did not even turn. “Enter,” he said, voice even, flat. The guard stepped in carefully, sensing
Draven's POVThe hurt on Allene’s face did not fade when she turned away from me.It followed me throughout for the rest of the day.It clung to my thoughts like a shadow that refuses to be outrun, stretching longer with every passing hour of the day. I see it in the way the firelight flickers agai
Kattie’s POVThe training ground buzzed behind me as I walked away, but none of the sounds reached my ears properly. The clang of metal, the grunts of exertion, the sharp commands barked by instructors, all of it faded into a dull hum.That stupid Omega wolf just caused me to be humiliated in front
Draven’s POVThe weight didn’t lift when the sun rose. If anything, it pressed harder. The burden of what I had to do as the alpha. It sat on my chest like a heavy stone, pressing down with every breath that I took. Even as the sun climbed higher in the sky, the weight refused to losen it's grip.Y
Allene's POVI didn’t want to think about what had happened with Draven.But my body remembered it anyway. I tried to get it out of my mind but I told satisfaction in knowing that Leonard would be in so much pain because of my intimacy with Draven.Every step away from the pack house felt heavy, li
