The silence in the room stretched, and Ronan’s face went pale as the words sunk into his head. "What do you mean?"

"Think about it.” She said, drawing closer. “He keeps emphasizing on how your relationship with Matthias is destroyed, how the pack will see you as a traitor and kinslayer. He's not setting you up to be their leader, Ronan he's setting you up to be their scapegoat."

Ronan shook his head slowly, he was in disbelief, but Selene could see he already knew the truth, he was just fighting hard to believe Killian would actually do something like that to him. "But we had an agreement—"

"We had an agreement that assumed he was telling us the truth about his intentions." Selene's voice hardened as the full scope of her brother’s betrayal became clear. "What if everything he told us was designed to get us to do exactly what we've done, but for completely different reasons than what he claimed?"

Ronan sank into one of the dusty chairs, his head in his hands. "Then I've destroyed

    The abandoned hunting lodge at the edge of Voss territory sat like a forgotten secret, its windows dark and walls thick enough to muffle conversation. Selene could not recall the last time it had been in use. Killian had wanted it turned into a punishment room, but Selene had thought it would be a waste. The building was the perfect place for a meeting that couldn't happen anywhere else, for words that could never be spoken in the light of day., and as she approached it that night, with her boots crunching in the snow and Ronan’s summons clutched in her hands, she prided herself for that one decision years ago. She arrived first, as she always did. Being punctual was all about control, and control was about timing. Being the one who chose the setting and dictated the terms gave her stable footing. She'd learned that lesson young, watching her brothers vie for their father's approval while Killian observed from the shadows, already three steps ahead of everyone else. The irony wasn

    The words hit like physical blows. Did he know about the journal hidden upstairs? About the things Selene had told her? About her growing understanding of exactly what kind of monster he was? "I'm not hiding anything," she whispered. "Aren't you?" His thumb brushed across her lower lip, and she had to fight not to bite him. "Because you have the look of someone carrying secrets, little wolf. Heavy, dangerous secrets that could get people hurt." Raine's breath came in short, shallow gasps. The room felt too small, too warm, as if the walls were closing in around them. She was trapped between Killian's body and the kitchen counter, with nowhere to run and no way to escape the growing certainty that he knew exactly what Selene had told her. "I don't know what you mean." "Of course you don't." His smile widened, showing too many teeth. "Just like you don't know about the journal you found. Just like you don't know what my dear sister revealed about our family's... complicated history

    The footsteps she'd been hearing in her imagination turned out to be real. Raine was still sitting on the floor among the broken porcelain when the door opened, letting in a gust of cold air that made her shiver. She looked up to see Killian silhouetted in the doorway, snow dusting his dark coat like scattered stars. "Raine." His voice was soft, concerned, exactly the tone of a man who cared about her wellbeing. She did not buy it for a second, especially after hearing what Selene had to say. "What happened here?" She scrambled to her feet, her heart hammering against her ribs. How long had it been since Selene left? An hour? Two? Time had become meaningless after the revelations about dead brothers and confessions of meaningless murder. She glanced around for a broomstick and pan, trying to avoid meeting Killian’s gaze for as long as she could manage. "I dropped my teacup," she said, the lie falling from her lips with practiced ease. "Very clumsy of me." Killian's eyes swept th

    The fire had long since burned low in the fireplace, but Matthias hadn’t moved from his seat. Ash curled at the edges of the logs, glowing faint and red in the dim light, casting the room in low, rust-colored shadows. Outside, the wind howled against the slatted glass, a cruel, high-pitched sound that seemed to echo the pressure in his chest. He sat still, one boot braced on the edge of the hearthstone, one hand slack in his lap, the other resting heavily around the throat of a half-drained bottle of dark liquor he couldn’t remember opening. It was hours past midnight, and he couldn’t sleep. How could he? His last surviving son seemed to hate him now, and he deserved it, goddess knew he did. It had been well over a month now, and he still hadn’t made an headway in finding Silas’s killers. He was a failure of a father, he’d failed both sons and now he was about to fail his pack. But to be honest none of that mattered to him in the face of his newest, most pressing grief. Raine was

    The attack was clumsy, telegraphed, driven more by emotion than strategy. Killian caught Ronan’s wrist without much effort, his grip like iron around fragile bone. For a moment he considered breaking it, that would certainly send a message about the consequences of challenging him, but Killian decided against it. Injured pawns were less useful than frightened ones. "Careful," he warned, letting a hint of his real power seep into his voice. "You're in no position to make physical threats. Not when I hold so many of your secrets." He could feel Ronan's pulse hammering against his fingers, could smell the spike of adrenaline and fear. The younger alpha was learning, finally, what it meant to be completely at someone else's mercy. Killian released him and stepped back, straightening his coat with deliberate precision. "Besides, we still have work to do. Your father may suspect your involvement in pack politics, but he doesn't yet know the scope of our alliance. That gives us time to co
