"You’re late," Luke barked, the icy wind of the North Ridge whipping through his hair as he stepped out of the Hamilton History Building.

His twin sister, Isabella, didn't even look up from her phone. She leaned against the stone archway, her Navarro Memorial Stadium jacket dwarfing her small frame. "The hockey team finished practice ten minutes ago, Luke. I’ve been freezing my tail off while you were probably staring at that 'Adriana' girl in the back of the lecture hall again."

    "Is he still in there?" Luke’s father, Ricardo, barked into the phone, his voice a jagged saw against Luke's ear."He's here," Luke said. He didn't look at Cass, who was huddled on the shared apartment sofa, but he felt the boy's flinch. "And he's staying.""You listen to me, Lucas," Ricardo growled. "That boy is a Castillo. His father is the reason your uncle is in a wheelchair. Alejandro is a butcher. If you keep him there, you’re inviting a war into our territory. Throw him out. Now.""No." Luke's jaw locked."No?" Ricardo’s roar was loud enough to vibrate the handset. "You're choosing a stray over your own blood? Over your sisters? Over Maria?""I’m choosing the law," Luke snapped. "He asked for sanctuary. By the old pack codes, I can’t refuse. Not unless I want to be the one who breaks the peace."A long, heavy silence stretched over the line. "You think you're being a hero," Ricardo finally whispered, the venom replaced by a cold, terrifying disappointment. "But you’re just a ta

    "Get your claws off him, Brandon," Luke growled, his voice vibrating with a sub-sonic warning that made the locker room benches rattle.Brandon Cole didn't flinch. He kept his hand clamped tight on Cass’s shoulder, his fingers digging into the expensive silk of Cass’s shirt. "He's a Castillo, Navarro. He belongs to the Pack Council. Which means he belongs to me."Cass didn't scream. He didn't even pull away. He just stood there, his face a mask of frozen porcelain, eyes locked on the floor. But the scent coming off him—the sharp, metallic tang of pure terror—was filling the room, drowning out the smell of stale ice and hockey tape.Luke stepped into Brandon’s space. He was taller, broader, a wall of Navarro muscle that took up all the light. "I don't give a damn about the Council. He's under my roof tonight."Brandon let out a jagged laugh, his grip tightening until Cass winced. "You’re going to harbor a runaway? Ricardo will skin you alive before the moon hits its peak.""Let him try

She leaned against the stone archway, her Navarro Memorial Stadium jacket dwarfing her small frame. "The hockey team finished practice ten minutes ago, Luke. I’ve been freezing my tail off while you were probably staring at that 'Adriana' girl in the back of the lecture hall again."Luke’s jaw tightened. "I was finishing the mid-term prep. Professor Morales doesn't give passes, not even for the star safety of the pack.""Right. Education over obsession. Sure." Isabella shoved her phone into her pocket and started walking toward the Liberty Campus Quad. "By the way, Ricardo called. Mom’s making that elk stew tonight. If you miss family dinner again, he’s going to have your head.""I'll be there," Luke muttered, falling into step beside her. The scent of approaching winter was heavy on the

    “By the Moon, you’re the most stubborn pup in the litter, aren’t you?” Alejandro muttered, his eyes glassing over as he pressed a fist against his mouth. “Always have to be the hero. Always have to be the brave one.” He looked at his husband, desperation leaking into his scent. “Lucio, talk some sense into him. He doesn't have to face the pack alone tonight.”“And I’m certain he won't,” Lucio answered, his gaze on Cass sharp with pride. He reached out a steady hand, squeezing Cass’s forearm in a silent vow of support.Cass gripped his father’s fingers. “Pop.”“Where are you going to stay, then?” Lucio asked, his voice dropping an octave. “If the dorms are off-limits, and the pack house is too far…”Cass looked suddenly adrift, his chest heaving as if the air in the room had turned to lead. “I…” he whispered, his fingers twitching toward the pulse point at his throat. “I’ll call someone. A teammate. Jax, maybe. Except…”“Except what?” Alejandro pushed.Cass flinched, his shoulders hunc

    LUKEFifty-three minutes in, a brutal slam against the wood of my apartment door made me lunge to my feet.I’d been killing time on a mind-numbing mobile game, matching digital fruit while my pulse hammered a rhythm of pure jagged anxiety. The waiting was trash. It was a slow-motion car crash. I tossed the phone onto the cushion as the screen turned red with another failed round.I headed for the door, but Isabella intercepted me. She’d been sprawled on the floor, her laptop humming with some journalism project."Stay back," I growled, cutting her off with a look. "They’re probably looking for a throat to rip out after the way I handled that call." I wasn't letting their parental rage touch my sister.Isabella rolled her eyes, dodging around my arm. "Get over yourself, Luke. You’re not the only Navarro with a backbone." Before I could grab her, she yanked the door wide. "Hey! You’re the Castillo parents. I’m Isabella. Come in, quick."I stared at the ceiling, praying for patience as A

    "His phone is blowing up with a thousand notifications," Isabella barked, the sound of her entrance nearly making me leap out of my skin. She stormed into the living room, kicking the door shut with a heavy thud. She didn't even have her coat off before she was dumping her gear on the nearest chair and waving a vibrating device. "Luke, I’m serious. It’s a non-stop barrage of calls, pings, and pack alerts.""I thought you killed the power on that thing," I said, rubbing the back of my neck where the skin felt raw. I tried to look like I hadn't been standing there like a statue, staring at the unconscious wolf on my sofa."I did," Isabella snapped. "But then I started thinking... what if we actually need to reach his people? It felt like a mistake to keep him cut off if his family is looking. So I flipped it back on, and holy hell. Brandon Cole and three other high-ranks have tried to reach him since I walked from the truck to the porch.""He must’ve alerted the whole offensive line," I
