ELARA

Shifting back to human was somehow worse than shifting to wolf—like being forced into a cage after tasting freedom. I stood naked in the forest clearing, my mother's pack surrounding us, and tried to process the impossible situation I'd stumbled into.

Someone—Nyx, bless her—threw me a blanket. I wrapped it around myself, hyperaware of Kael's burning stare and my mother's assessing one.

"Well," the white wolf shifted, and suddenly a woman stood before me. She looked like an older version of me—same curves, same silver-streaked dark hair, same eyes that held galaxies. But where I'd spent my life apologizing for existing, she radiated unapologetic power. "You have her spirit, at least. Selene always did hate being told what to do."

"Selene?"

"Your grandmother. My mother. The last true Alpha Queen before me." She moved closer, and I fought the urge to step back. "I'm Lyanna Moonborne. Though the Sterlings stole my identity, my fortune, and tried to erase me from history when they t

    ELARA ..The pain was everything. Every bone in my body breaking, reforming, breaking again. My skin felt like it was being flayed, my muscles tearing and rebuilding. I screamed until my throat was raw, dimly aware of voices shouting around me."Get everyone out!" Kael's command. "First shifts are dangerous, she could kill someone without meaning to.""I'm not leaving her." Rowan's voice, stubborn and gentle. "I promised her mother I'd protect her.""She's MY mate—""ENOUGH!" Grandmother Isla's bark cut through their argument. "Both of you, shut up and help me or get out. Elara, listen to my voice. Don't fight the shift. Let your wolf come. She's been caged for twenty-six years, she's angry, confused, and terrified. Show her you're not her enemy."“Let her come.”The words echoed through my agony. But how could I let something come when I didn't even know what it was?“Please,” I thought desperately into the void inside me. “Please, I'm sorry they locked you away. I'm sorry I didn't

    Elara .. woke to unfamiliar ceiling beams and the scent of herbs so pungent they made my eyes water. My body felt like I'd been hit by a truck, every muscle aching, every nerve ending raw and oversensitive."Easy." A weathered hand pressed me back down. An elderly woman with silver braids and knowing eyes peered at me. "Your body is fighting itself. The seal breaking, your wolf trying to emerge. It's painful, child, but necessary.""Where am I?" My voice came out hoarse."The sacred grounds. Old pack territory where the magic runs deep." She placed a cool cloth on my forehead. "I'm Grandmother Isla, the pack healer. And you, little Moonborne, are causing quite the stir."Memories crashed back—Vivienne's attack, the power that had surged through me, Kael's face as I'd collapsed. "How long was I out?""Six hours. Your mate hasn't left your side once." She gestured to the corner where Kael sat in a chair, eyes closed but posture screaming alertness. "Alpha Kings don't usually pace and

    KAEL'S POVMy wolf howled for blood the second Vivienne Sterling crashed through my window with murder in her eyes. Not just any blood, ”her” blood, for daring to threaten what was mine.Elara stood frozen behind me, her scent spiking with terror, and the sound of her fear snapped the last thread of my control."You made a mistake coming here," I growled, my voice dropping into the Alpha command that brought weaker wolves to their knees. Three of the rogues immediately collapsed, whimpering.Vivienne just smiled, her newly-turned wolf too stupid to recognize a superior predator. "Did I? I have eight rogues, Kael. You have your beta and a human who doesn't even know what she is." She tilted her head, and I wanted to rip it off her shoulders. "Those seem like good odds.""You're right." I let my wolf rise to the surface, felt my bones beginning to shift. "They're excellent odds. For me."I moved.The first rogue died before he could scream, my claws through his throat. The second tried

    Elara ..Kael didn't let me go. Not in the lobby, not in the elevator, not even when we reached his penthouse. He held me like I was precious, breakable, and I hated how much I needed it."I should fire you," he said against my hair.I pulled back. "What?""Being my assistant puts a target on your back. Your family, the rogues, the pack elders—they're all circling because of me." His jaw clenched. "You'd be safer away from me.""Don't." I pressed my hand to his chest, feeling his heart race beneath my palm. "Don't push me away to protect me. I'm so tired of people deciding what's best for me.""Even when they're right?""Especially then." I met his molten gaze. "I'm not running. Not from my family, not from whatever supernatural politics you're dealing with, and definitely not from you."Something fierce and possessive flared in his eyes. "You have no idea what you're agreeing to.""Then show me."The air between us crackled. His hand came up to cup my face, thumb tracing my cheekb

    Elara..I woke to silk sheets and the scent of cedar. My head throbbed, memories crashing back in impossible fragments—glowing eyes, claws, Kael moving faster than humanly possible. The word that kept echoing: “mate”"You're awake." Kael sat in a chair beside the bed, still in his blood-spattered suit, looking like sin and violence. "Don't scream. Please don't scream."I sat up slowly, my throat burning where the rogue's claws had been. Bandaged now. "You're a werewolf.""Yes.""Nyx is a werewolf.""Yes.""And those men who attacked us—""Rogues. Werewolves without packs, usually criminals." He leaned forward, elbows on his knees, and the vulnerability in his posture didn't match the predator I'd seen. "I'm sorry you found out this way. I was going to tell you, eventually. When you were ready."Hysteria bubbled up. "When would I have been ready to learn my boss is a supernatural creature? Was there a memo I missed? 'By the way, your one-night stand can turn into a wolf'?""I don't t
