This felt right. She could handle it.

Opening her heart fully had taken time, a real struggle, but now that she'd locked in with David, regret was the last thing on her mind. Heather was on the cusp of being a fully mated she-wolf—just waiting for that next full moon to seal it. The mere idea of him clamping down on her neck mid-thrust sent a warm flutter straight to her core. She squeezed her thighs together, forcing her focus elsewhere before her scent gave her away to the whole pack.

    The sky had bled out its last pink edges hours ago. Night settled thick over the forest now, alive with the low chorus of crickets, the distant hoot of an owl, the rustle of leaves under small paws. David stood at the tree line, bare feet sinking into cool earth, and drew in a long breath. Pine, moss, water, and underneath it all Heather. Her scent wrapped around him like a promise, pulling his wolf forward until the animal paced restlessly just beneath his skin.This was it. The moment they’d circled for months. He’d already claimed her in every way that mattered heart, home, pack but tonight the bond would be sealed in fang and blood. Permanent. Unbreakable. The security of it hummed through his veins, steadying the frantic beat of his heart.The moon hung fat and silver overhead, power rolling off it in waves he could almost taste. His muscles twitched, ready. Heather had insisted on meeting him at the lake wanted the water, the quiet, the ritual of it. He’d hated letting her run a

    Heather had been pacing the living room all morning, stomach in knots. The she-bear weighed on her mind like a stone. She needed to know the girl was safe, that she wasn’t spiraling into the same lonely darkness Heather had clawed her way out of years ago. Seeing her own younger self in that wild, frightened gaze had cracked something open inside her she couldn’t stand the thought of the young woman hurting alone.The low growl of an engine finally cut through the quiet. Heather flew to the window just as David climbed out of the truck, boots hitting gravel. He moved with that easy, predatory grace she loved, heading straight for the house. She met him at the door before he could knock.He smelled like the forest pine sap, damp earth, and that warm, masculine edge that was pure David. She grabbed his collar, tugged him down, and buried her face in his neck, breathing him in deep.“Any word?” she asked, voice muffled against his skin.David’s arms came around her waist. “Joe’s got it u

    Heather spun at the wet crunch behind her. Maddox lay sprawled on the hallway floor, one hand clamped over his stomach, blood seeping between his fingers. David stood over the hunter’s corpse, hoisting the limp body onto his shoulder like it weighed nothing. The man’s head lolled at a grotesque angle, neck clearly broken.She crossed the distance in three quick steps and cupped David’s face, thumbs brushing the tension from his jaw. “You saved me.”David shook his head once, sharp. “No. He did. I just made sure the bastard stayed down.”Heather glanced back. Maddox managed a crooked smile through the pain. “Guess that squares us. I’m in your debt.”David’s voice came out low and lethal. “You’re not in her debt anymore. Consider it paid with interest.”Maddox grunted, pressing harder against the wound. “Bullet caught me in the gut. Wouldn’t have killed her. Not a fatal shot. I’ll live.”Heather started toward him, concern flickering. David’s low growl stopped her cold his wolf wouldn’t

    All David could think about was Heather. His mate. His everything. The pack mattered he’d die for any of them in a heartbeat but Heather? Nothing touched her. Nothing got close. He’d rip the world apart before he let these bastards lay another finger on her.He ghosted through the underbrush, slowing to a prowl as he closed on the next hunter. The man paused to jam fresh rounds into his rifle, cursing under his breath. So much firepower for one night. How the hell had they tracked Maddox and Heather straight to this hidden patch of nowhere? Their home had been chosen for exactly this reason: off the map, off the grid.The hunter glanced up.David bared teeth in a feral grin. Before the man could swing the barrel around, David was on him claws digging into shoulders, jaws closing around the throat. One sharp twist. Crack. The body slumped into the leaves.These hunters had to be raking in cash from the pit fights. Enough to bring an army out here on short notice.“Reese is hit,” Rowan’

    David felt it in his gut like a lead weight he wasn’t thinking straight about Maddox. Not even close. Every instinct screamed to rip the newcomer’s throat out, end the gnawing itch under his skin once and for all. He hated how possessive his wolf had become, hated that Heather’s scent had ever touched another male, even for survival. But he kept his mouth shut and followed Rowan toward the back of the property, past the old barn where moonlight spilled silver across the grass.Maddox sat cross-legged on the ground, head tilted back, staring straight up at the sky. One deep breath and David caught it salt and wet cheeks. The guy was crying, quiet and private.“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Maddox said, voice rough but soft.No one moved. They just watched him watch the stars.Reese broke the quiet first. “What’s going on, man?”Maddox didn’t look down. “Couple months back those hunters grabbed me. Worst day of my damn life. They had no idea what I was why would they? I’d been running four

    The cheers rang out across the yard, glasses clinking, laughter rolling over the crackle of the firepit. Heather stole a glance at David. He stood rigid beside her, arms folded, jaw locked. If he kept brooding like that, Rowan would notice and haul him aside for a word. Alphas didn’t tolerate pack tension festering in plain sight.Maddox lifted his bottle in a half-hearted salute. “Never figured I’d end up in a pack. Thirty-five years mostly solo drifting, surviving. I don’t know all your rules yet, but I’m game to learn.”Brian leaned forward, elbows on his knees. “Tell us something real about you, man. Where you from? What brought you here?”Maddox stared into the flames for a beat. “Nothing worth telling.”Heather felt her own hackles rise. A ripple of unease passed through the group. Silence settled heavy, smothering the easy mood. Packs didn’t do secrets. Trust was the glue hunt together, fight together, bleed together. No room for walls.“Everybody’s got history,” Rowan said qui
