ASTRA

I wake up in a dungeon.

My head pounds like someone's taken a hammer to it. When I move, something holds me down, I look at it and I see that they are silver chains binding me down. Silver has always been the bane of werewolves and I know that I won't be about to shift and break through my bones so long as there are silver.

I'm in a dungeon and above me, I hear footsteps and laughter, the sounds of a pack going about their day while I rot in darkness.

Lyanna Mordane didn't want to help me. She wanted to cage me.

I remember arriving at Shadowveil with Thalor just before the sun spread over the skies. Thalor had led me through the gates, and past the guards who bowed to him like they knew him. Deep down I always have known that he shouldn't be trusted, mate or not, but I'd run out of options and I walked right into his trap.

Lyanna was waiting in the courtyard. She smiled when she saw me, and it was not a friendly smile.

"Astra Ashford," she said. "Welcome to Shadowveil."

    ASTRAI scream as he pops my shoulder blade into place. Tears stream down my face before I can stop them."Done," he says quietly, and his thumb brushes away one of my tears. The gesture is so gentle, it steals my breath away. He's too close for comfort so I step back, putting distance between us. "Why did you really help me?""I told you. I can't collect payment if you're dead.""Liar." I meet his golden eyes. "You could have just stopped them. You didn't have to kill them. And you definitely didn't have to look like you enjoyed it."His jaw tightens. "They hurt you.""So what? I'm just a contract to you. I'm just another bounty." I scoff."You're more than that."I spun my head towards him surprised, and the look on his face shows that he immediately regrets that he said that."I can't let you die," he continues, his voice rough. "I physically cannot let you die. Do you understand what I'm saying?"I roll my eyes. It suddenly clicks. If I die, the pain he would feel would be so excr

    ASTRAI came to archive territory to find answers about my Gamma bloodline and why Remus wanted me so bad he sent a bounty hunter after me. I was able to sneak in and find the files that I wanted. Every sold marriage in the tribute system was always recorded, we'd give to court and signed on papers whose duplicates will be here. Attached to those papers would be a detailed demographic of each partner. The archiveguard's hand clamps over my mouth As I photograph the tributary records , I don't know when an archive's guard sneaks on me - I usually have sharp hearing -- and clamps his hand on my mouth. His other hand twists my arm behind my back, and pain shoots through my shoulder."You little thief," he growls in my ear.I have the evidence right here in my hands, this is proof that this sold marriages are actual kidnapping of females with rare or Alphabloodlines, to reduce the threat of those powerful bloodlines to mere breeding stations. I just needed to present it to the right peopl

    THALORIn all my work, I've never failed or seen a better fighter than her. It was easy tracking her but subduing her has been hell so far. She fights like she's seasoned and I've been more on the defensive than on the offensive..Time to end this."You're good," I say, circling her in the cave. "But you're lagging because you are exhausted. If I have to fight you so that you would fall from your last breath, then so be it.""Go to hell," she snarls, and lunges.I sidestep, catch her wrist and twist. She's already moving, using my momentum against me, and before I can blink she's driving her knee toward my ribs. Air wheeze out of my lungs as I try to block her. I don't underestimate victims but I did this one and now she has warrior training.Who taught a Gamma's daughter to fight like this?She comes at me again, and this time I'm done playing. I duck under her strike, sweep her legs, and we both go down. She doesn't stop fighting even as we hit the ground, twisting, clawing, trying

    ASTRAI've never run this hard in all my life. Even worse, the sky is pouring rain on me like it has malice with me. Mud stains my white ceremonial dress as I run through Silver wood's forests, the branches making deep gashes on my face and scratches on my dress. Behind me, Alpha Remus Caine's howl of rage splits the night. I have three minutes before the hunting party catches my scent.My bare feet slip on wet leaves, pain shooting through my soles as I step on sharp stones. But I don't slow down, even though parts of my dress are tearing on the branches. Better to run naked through these woods than wear the chains waiting at that altar.Better death than that bond.The thought propels me forward as my lungs burn. My wolf pushes strength into my limbs, wild with the same panic thrumming through my veins. We agree on this, at least. We've never agreed on anything so completely.I hear paws beating the ground at my back and I realize that slowly the search party will catch up with me a
