It had been seventeen days since the bond was severed. Raine knew because she'd been counting, and she hadn’t shifted once since it happened. Her wolf felt distant now, buried somewhere she couldn't reach, like an echo.

The mornings bled into each other now, soft and indistinguishable like the fog that curled over the windowsills at dawn. The air here always smelled like pine bark and old stone, sharp and earthy with the faintest tinge of woodsmoke.

Raine woke to silence and went to bed with it. No distant voices, no patrols, no pack energy humming through the walls, just her own heartbeat and the occasional call of birds echoing through the trees.

The cottage existed in perpetual quiet, and it was the kind of stillness that pressed against your eardrums until you started hearing things that weren't there. Sometimes she caught herself listening for footsteps on the stairs, voices from another room, anything to break the endless hush.

Killian was rarely around, he came and w

    "Hello, Raine," Selene said, her voice carrying the crisp authority of someone accustomed to being obeyed without question. "I hope you don't mind the unexpected visit, but we really do need to talk." Raine's hand tightened on the door frame, every instinct screaming at her to slam the door and run. But where could she go? This was Voss territory, and she was completely at their mercy. "Selene." She managed to keep her voice steady, though her heart was hammering against her ribs. "Killian didn't mention you were coming. I was not aware you even knew I was here.” "No, I imagine you weren't." Selene's smile was as cold and sharp as winter moonlight. "Killian didn't mention I'd be stopping by. But then, my dear brother has always been fond of his little secrets." The way she said secrets made Raine's blood run cold. Did Selene know about her history with Matthias? About the little slice of life growing in her womb as they spoke? Or was she in on whatever larger game Killian was pl

    The journal's pages had become her obsession, she sat curled in the window seat of the cabin's main room, Nikolai Voss's leather-bound diary spread across her lap like a puzzle missing half its pieces. It had been three days since she’d discovered Nikolai Voss's meticulous documentation of his youngest son's torment, and she couldn't shake the images it had painted. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw a seven-year-old boy scrambling through dark woods while his siblings hunted him like prey. She pictured small hands mixing pine sap with creek water to mask his scent, clever mind already learning that survival meant being three steps ahead of everyone else. It explained so much about Killian, the way he moved through conversations like a chess master, always calculating, always positioning himself for the next move. The careful way he'd inserted himself into her life, painting himself as her savior while orchestrating all their downfalls from the very beginning. There is someth

    Matthias's jaw clenched, and Ronan felt a twisted satisfaction at the way his father's scent spiked with impotent rage. He'd never been more pleased as he was at that moment, he couldn’t care less how Killian had managed to gain access to that information, all he knew was that Matthias couldn't outrightly defend his lover without revealing why he cared so much. "Raine broke pack law," Matthias said finally, his voice carefully controlled, Ronan rolled his eyes with a scoff. "The Elders made their decision based on the evidence presented." "Oh is that so?" Killian's eyes glittered dangerously, and Ronan got the feeling that he knew more about this entire thing than he was letting on. "Because it seems like she just happened to be caught in a crossfire.” His gaze flickered between Ronan and Matthias, and something in Ronan’s gut clenched uncomfortably. Killian did know something more than he was saying. “A little spat,” he continued, “Between son and father, seems almost territorial

    The morning came gray and bitter, matching Ronan's mood as he stood at the great hall's windows, watching Killian's approach through the mist. Behind him, the young witch, Hansel, chattered excitedly to his father about ward configurations and energy flows, his voice a constant buzz that grated against Ronan's nerves like fingernails on stone. Three weeks. It had been three weeks since he'd left Raine's room with the scent of his father's betrayal burning in his nostrils, and Matthias still had no idea what Ronan knew. The older alpha moved around the pack house like nothing had changed, conducting his business, issuing orders, playing the role of the grieving leader whose son had exiled his beloved mate in a fit of jealous rage. If only he knew. "The northern perimeter will need the most work," Hansel was saying, his pale hands gesturing wildly as he spread ancient texts across the oak table. "The ley lines there have been corrupted for months, I can feel them bleeding energy lik

    The journal felt heavier than it should have in Raine's hands, as if the weight of secrets had somehow transferred to the leather and paper. She settled into the chair by the window, afternoon light filtering through dust motes as she carefully turned the brittle pages. Nikolai Voss had possessed meticulous handwriting, each letter formed with the precision of someone who understood that words were weapons as much as claws or fangs. The early entries were dated nearly thirty years ago, beginning when he was a young Alpha consolidating power after his own father's death. The pack grows stronger under proper leadership, read one entry. Territorial disputes with the Blackwater wolves have been resolved through strategic alliance rather than bloodshed. Magnus approves of the approach. Magnus. Raine recognized the name from pack histories, he was Nikolai's eldest son, his heir apparent. She flipped forward, looking for more references to his children, and found what she was searching f

    Killian was tired of waiting. The wind howled through the valley below, scattering fine white dust along the tree line, but he barely felt the cold. He was too preoccupied with the crawl of frustration beneath his skin, the weight of time pressing against the inside of his skull to care. It had been weeks since Ronan cast Raine out, the rest of the pack had no idea that she was in Killian’s care now, his to do as he so chose, and he was going to make sure it stayed that way. He had expected more fallout to be honest, more chaos. Instead, the Draven Pack was still standing, fractured yes, but still intact. And he didn’t like that. It was supposed to crumble. Because deep in the marrow of his bones, Killian Voss believed the Draven legacy belonged to him. Not Ronan. Not Matthias. Him. He was the one who saw the decay for what it was. He was the only one who could bring them out of their flith and fix the rot that had been festering between them for years now. Killian was the
