LOGINAngelina Winterbourne vowed her union with Alpha Nathaniel Byrne would be eternal. It lasted just long enough to cost her everything—most cruelly, her daughter. When dawn raids left Angelina and Iona bleeding out, Nathaniel chose them again, his dearest friend, her golden son. Survival became her rebellion. Now, divorced and disgraced, Angelina has returned to the Black Widow Pack—and to Alpha Malcolm’s audacious offer, redeem her shattered legacy by revolutionising their famine-ravaged farmlands. But as whispers of sabotage spread, Angelina must decide—will she rebuild the soil, or scorch the lies that poisoned her life?

"Well, isn't this a remarkably convenient coincidence?" I raised one eyebrow, eyeing the tart Dad had just produced as if he'd pulled it from thin air."Quite the coincidence," Dad shook his head, carving off a generous slice and handing it to me on a flimsy hospital napkin. "Enjoy, sweetheart."I took a bite. Salty, sweet, buttery absolutely perfect. My wolf practically purred. Then I directed my question toward the woman still crumpled on the floor. "So... what brings you here, miss?"The woman pushed herself up onto her knees. Sharp cheekbones, dark hair plastered to her temples with harbour mist. Her scent hit me a second later, it felt wrong. She's definitely not a wolf or maybe using scentless pills. She stared at the slice of tart in my hand, then at my stomach, then back up at my face.
"I know what I just did." She met my eyes, and for once, the iron mask slipped entirely. Underneath it, she looked terribly young and terribly old all at once. "I also know there are more where these came from. So keep your eyes open, Angie. Please."I reached for her hand. She let me take it.We stayed like that until the shouting started outside.Dr. Liana and several Guards rushed over to us."Luna, are you alright? Did they hurt you? Oh my god, what happened? How did we get caught off guard like this? Oh, Moon Goddess."Dr. Liana immediately began checking my condition while the Guards handled the two mysterious men."Get up!" a guard shouted, yanking each of them to their feet. "You stupid fool, did you really think this place wasn't guarded?"Dr. Liana dropped to her knees beside my bed before I could answer, her hands already pressing against my stomach with firm, practiced urgency. Her scent, sharp antiseptic and nervous sweat cut through the lingering copper of the attack."L
"You would have made it worse," I said gently. "They needed to say it. And I needed to hear it. Even the ugly parts."Mom studied my face for a long moment. Then she shook her head slowly. "When did you get so wise?""I had a good teacher." I squeezed her hand back. "Stubborn. Loud. Runs across the territory in slippers.""I might be wearing slippers," she muttered, her thumb tracing a frantic, repetitive circle over my knuckles, "but I’d still snap a neck or two if they dared to come back for you.""Nobody is coming back," I told her, trying to keep my tone steady. "The guards are doubled on this ward.""Guards," she scoffed, a harsh, clipped sound. "Half of them are still wet behind the ears. I saw the way that boy at the door was shaking whilst clutching his rifle. He’d be absolutely useless against a coordinated strike.""He's only nervous because you let out a warning growl on your w
"Who is she?" Mom asked, crossing her arms tightly over her chest."If I remember correctly, she was second-in-command of the highest rank at the time. But she was betrayed by her mate, who cheated on her with her own sister. She was ultimately branded a witch and cast out by Nathaniel," I explained. My words were brief, yet they painted the entire, tragic picture."That bastard was a fool," Mom spat. "Throwing away a diamond for a piece of worthless gravel."Mom turned back from the doorway, her hand still on the frame, her face tight with restless energy. "Do you know where she is, Angie? do you have any idea where she's hiding?"I shook my head, frustration burning in my throat. "I don't know. South forest, maybe. Or somewhere else entirely. I don't have a clue.""Oh, damn it." Mom cursed under her breath, her claws tapping an anxious rhythm against the doorframe. The sound grated against my already frayed nerves.Malcolm’s voice cutting through the tension with quiet resolve. "En
Midnight struck, and as the clock chimed, Malcolm’s eyes finally snapped open, a full hour after Dr. Liana had finished her frantic examination. The room was deathly quiet, the air thick with the scent of antiseptic and the lingering, metallic tang of blood."Malcolm," I whispered, my voice soft
“What?! What happened?” Malcolm snapped, stepping forward. “Don’t stand there gasping like that—you’re making me lose my damn composure.” Jane sucked in a deep breath, steadying herself. “The Guardian Quarter… it was raided. A group of masked men in black same ones who worked with Rebecca back t

He stared at his hand, his eyes wide with a mix of agony and dawning horror. "It’s not supposed to do that," he rasped, his voice trembling. "This is my bloodline’s steel. It should recognize me. Unless..."He looked up at mom, his face pale. "Unless I’m carrying the very thing this sword was bu
