"She cannot hide forever, and once the council sees what she truly is, no amount of blood-magic will save her," Brielle whispered, keeping her chin pinned to her chest so the hallway guards could not catch the dark, triumphant glint in her eyes.

Asher Whitmore was walking through those heavy oak doors for Harper, but original Harper was never going to walk back out to claim him. Whatever pathetic shred of standing the human-born outcast had managed to scrape together in the Nightcrest Pack was

    “Let’s see if your weak human mind can handle a single high-level pack trial before you open your mouth again, Harper,” Mallory sneered, her eyes gleaming with pure malice as she adjusted her diamond-encrusted collar in the cold air of the Blackthorn Grand Hall.I didn’t even flinch. I stood tall, my heavy curves filling out my dark leather uniform with absolute confidence. I looked at Mallory like she was nothing more than a blood-thirsty tick clinging to my family’s old land. She had spent years trying to make me feel small because I was born human, because I didn't carry the sleek, bone-thin frame of the high-society wolf females, and because I held the true bloodline rights to Calloway Manor.“You’ve spent your entire life plotting in the shadows, Mallory,” I said, my voice echoing off the high stone arches with ice-cold authority. “You think you’ve won because you dragged me into this pack trial. But today, you’re going to open those spiteful eyes and watch how easy it is for a r

    “Hand over the file before I tear your throat out,” Elijah growled, his upper lip pulling back to expose the sharp ivory tips of his canines as he slammed his massive palms onto the polished mahogany desk.My heart hammered against my ribs like a trapped bird, but I kept my spine straight, refusing to flinch. I stared right into Elijah’s amber eyes, my own human pulse drumming wildly in my neck where any werewolf in the room could hear it. I sat behind the desk in the cold, cavernous office of Ironwood Keep, surrounded by the heavy scent of pine, blood, and dominant pack aura.“You don't command me, Elijah,” I said, keeping my voice dead steady even as my fingers dug into the fabric of my trousers. “I am a Calloway. Until Alpha Asher signs off on the Frostmoon Territory records, these documents stay with me.”He let out a low, rumbling snarl that vibrated right through the heavy wooden floorboards. Before he could take another step toward me, the heavy oak doors of the study burst ope

    "Harper, how dare you curse me?" Tessa Callahan shrieked, her body shaking with pure, unbridled fury as she glared at me from the edge of the assembly hall.I hooked my lips into a slow, razor-sharp smile, my left arm resting over my lap while my broken right arm remained locked inside its thick black brace. "I am merely offering a polite reminder, Tessa. After all, Mallory is famous for her delicate health. Every single time she takes the initiative to step into my path, she ends up fainting, collapsing, or weeping about her fragile human constitution. It happened in front of the entire Nightcrest Pack training grounds, where over fifty wolves watched her pull the exact same show. Why wouldn't I bring medical staff along?"I shifted my gaze to Mallory Callahan, my eyes flashing with a cold, predatory light that made her skin turn pale. "Even though I kept my distance from her today, here I am. Just in case she suddenly loses her balance or passes out the second I open my mouth, havin

    "If Harper Calloway cannot write with her right hand, this entire examination is an insult to the Bloodfang Assembly!"My dark eyes narrow as I step onto the raised marble balcony of the Grand Ravenshire Hall. The icy mountain wind whips my hair around my face, but I do not flinch. My left hand grips the cold wrought-iron railing while my right arm remains locked tight against my waist, bound in a heavy black medical brace.Down in the massive stone courtyard, hundreds of high-ranking wolves from the Nightcrest Pack and reporters from RavenNet spill over the plaza. The tension in the air is thick, metallic, and heavy with the scent of agitation.The headmaster of Ravenshade University stands beside me, his knuckles white as he grips his wooden podium. He clears his throat, his aged voice echoing over the amplified speakers. "Silence! Quiet down, all of you! Harper Calloway was involved in a violent vehicular assault at the Eastvale border gates just two hours ago. St. Catherine Royal

    "Drive faster, Damon. If we are late to Ravenshade University, I will throw you into the Hollowfang Woods myself," I snarl, my left hand clutching the edge of the leather seat while my fractured right arm aches inside its heavy black compression brace.The moment Asher Whitmore leaves the vehicle to handle the pack elders, the soft smile on my face vanishes completely. My dark eyes turn icy as I glare out the window at the blurred trees of Frostmoon Territory. The raw anger inside my chest makes my internal wolf claw at my ribs, desperate to tear someone's throat out.Damon Cross hits the gas, the heavy SUV roaring as we speed down the paved highway toward the campus. "The Mercer Security Detail has guards posted at every gate, Harper. But the real problem isn't the road—it's RavenNet. Someone just dropped a fresh leak."I pull out my communicator with my left hand, the bright screen illuminating the dark interior of the car.A user named Student C has posted a new thread, and it is a

    "Is that blood on your sleeve, or did you just decide to test how much pain I can take before sunrise?" I slammed the steel basin onto the tray table, my left hand trembling as the heavy metal rattled against the wood.My right forearm was bound tight in a thick padded brace, frozen in place, but my pulse was thrashing against my skin like an angry beast trying to claw its way out. The bitter, iron tang of my own fresh blood mixed with the cold scent of pine and ozone rolling off Asher Whitmore’s shoulders. He stood by the arched window of the private suite in St. Catherine Royal Hospital, framed by the gray morning light bleeding over the Westhaven skyline.Asher didn't blink. His silver eyes, dark and dilated with raw Alpha fury, locked onto mine. "You're supposed to be lying flat, Harper. Dr. Brooks said two fractured ribs and a broken radius mean you don't leave this bed.""Dr. Brooks isn't the one whose bloodline is being ripped apart at Blackthorn Grand Hall in forty minutes," I
