FANGS OF FATE: THE ALPHA'S SECRET HEIRS A NAME IN THE DUST
JAXRhys reached the corridor first.Jax followed closely behind, his attention fixed on the empty passageway.The floorboard had creaked only once, but the sound had been clear enough. Someone had been standing outside the security room.“Search the corridor,” Jax ordered.Two guards stationed near the stairwell immediately moved in opposite directions.Rhys crouched beside the floorboard and examined the dusty wood.“There,” he said.A faint mark ran across the surface. Not a footprint exactly, but a narrow scrape, as though someone had dragged the edge of a shoe while turning.Jax looked toward the west wing.“Whoever it was knew how to move quietly.”“Or knew the house well,” Rhys replied.That distinction stayed with Jax.He returned to the security room and picked up the old access record.The scratched-out name was still there.The first letter looked like J.Rhys stood behind him.“Your father used several archive codes,” the Councilor said. “But this one was assigned to his p

SELENESelene stayed awake long after everyone else had gone to bed.She sat beside the window in her room, staring into the garden.The trees were still now.Too still.Jax’s words kept replaying in her mind.Someone else is.Someone else was digging into the night she disappeared.Why?And what did they expect to find?Selene pressed her fingers against her temple.For five years, she had convinced herself that the past was something she could leave behind. She had built a life around that decision.Then one invitation had brought her back.Now the past seemed determined to follow her home.A soft knock came at the door.“Come in.”Anna stepped inside.“You’re still awake.”“I can’t sleep.”Anna closed the door behind her.“Because of Jax?”Selene shook her head.“Because of that night.”Anna’s expression softened.She knew better than most what Selene had carried all these years.“You don’t have to talk about it.”“I know.”Selene looked back through the window.“But what if someon
FANGS OF FATE: THE ALPHA'S SECRET HEIRS THE MISSING FRAME
JAXThe old security room smelled of dust, metal, and the faint oil used to keep the archive equipment running.Jax stood behind the guard’s chair while the recovered footage loaded onto the monitor.Five years.That was how long the file had been sitting untouched.Or at least, that was what everyone had believed.“Play it again,” Jax said.The guard obeyed.The footage showed the main corridor outside the eastern wing of the estate. It was late. Most of the lights were off, leaving only the pale glow from the wall lamps.Selene appeared on screen.She was younger.Smaller.Her hair was loose around her shoulders, and even through the poor quality of the recording, Jax recognized the way she walked when she was upset.She disappeared around the corner.A few seconds passed.Then a figure appeared.Jax leaned closer.The person wore a dark cloak and a mask.His face couldn’t be seen.“Pause.”The guard froze the frame.Jax stared at the screen.Something about the figure bothered him.

SELENEI left the children sleeping.That was the hardest part.Every instinct in me wanted to stay beside them, especially after what had happened the night before. But Anna had promised she would sit with them until I returned, and I knew I couldn’t keep hiding from every difficult conversation.Still, as I followed her down the corridor, I kept looking back.“Don’t worry,” Anna whispered. “I’ll stay right outside their room.”I nodded.The Councilor’s office was at the opposite end of the Alpha wing.The guards opened the doors without a word.Rhys was standing beside the window when I entered.There were no files scattered across the desk this time.Only one old folder.Brown.Worn.The kind of folder that had been opened and closed too many times.He gestured toward the chair opposite him.“Sit.”I remained standing.His eyes flickered with amusement.“You don’t like being told what to do.”“Not by strangers.”“Fair enough.”He closed the folder.“Do you know why I asked you here
FANGS OF FATE: THE ALPHA'S SECRET HEIRS THE WEIGHT OF DEFIANCE
The morning after the incident felt strangely ordinary.That was what unsettled Selene most.Sunlight poured through the windows of the guest quarters. Somewhere outside, pack members were beginning their day. The smell of fresh bread drifted from the kitchens.And yet everyone knew something had changed.Selene stood at the sink, staring out the window as she rinsed a cup.“Mama?”She turned.Luca stood in the doorway clutching her stuffed rabbit.Her daughter’s hair was tangled from sleep.“Mmm?”“Are you sick?”The question caught her off guard.Selene set the cup down.“No.”Luca frowned.“You fell down yesterday.”Children noticed everything.Selene crouched in front of her.“I’m okay now.”Luca studied her suspiciously before climbing into her lap.The little girl wrapped her arms around Selene’s neck.“Told you,” Luca mumbled.“Told me what?”“I told the boys you’d be okay.”Selene laughed softly despite herself.From the dining table, Theo looked up.“I said you’d be okay too.

SELENEThe first sign was the silence.Not the peaceful kind. Not the quiet of sleeping children or a calm night.This silence was wrong.Heavy.Pressing.I woke with a sharp inhale, my heart racing before my mind could catch up. The room was dark, but the moonlight spilling through the curtains felt… distant.Muted.Beside me, the children slept.Too still.My stomach dropped.I sat up slowly, every instinct on edge. The air felt thick, like it was resisting me.Something’s here.My wolf stirred, not in fear.In warning.I slipped out of bed, careful not to wake them, and moved toward the door.The moment my hand touched the handle.Pain shot through my chest.I gasped, staggering back as something unseen tightened around me, like invisible chains locking into place.My breath came shallow.My pulse stuttered.A suppression field.But not like yesterday.This one was targeted.Focused.On me.⸻JAXI felt it from across the wing.A sharp drop in energy.Like something had clamped dow
