Draven’s POV

The next evening, the club was exactly what I needed. After everything that had happened with the journal, I could have stayed at the penthouse and spent the entire night trying to figure out what the hell was going on. Elena probably would have done the same thing. She had enough questions running through her head without me adding more to them.

Instead, Lyra had decided we were going out. Apparently, nobody was allowed to spend another night locked away thinking about mysterio

  • Ghost In The Pack   Hell No…

    Unknown POV The city looked different after dark. Most people saw lights. I saw opportunities and life. I also saw exits. Blind spots. Security patterns. The farther I drove from the last relay point Ghost had tripped, the quieter the streets became. Traffic faded until the only sound inside the car was the engine’s low hum and the tap of my fingers against the wheel. Ghost. I’d chased ghosts before. Hackers hid behind servers, VPNs, compromised machines, and enough encryption to make lesser people quit. Eventually, they all slipped. They got comfortable. They made one mistake. Ghost hadn’t. Not for years. That was until tonight. One mistake. One location. One address. Technically that was all I needed. I pulled into the underground garage and killed the engine. For a moment, I sat behind the wheel, studying the building. It screamed luxury and money. It was the kind of place that hired private security instead of trusting the city. The kind of place where strangers stood out.

  • Ghost In The Pack   Attacked…

    Elena’s POV Alright. I knew there would be confrontation when I got here but already. I tightened my grip on my backpack. It felt strange that everything I owned fit inside it. A few clothes. My laptop. My journal. A handful of personal things I’d grabbed before we left. Everything else… Everything else was still at the cabin. I hadn’t let myself think about it until now. Draven noticed my shoulders tense. Without a word, he took my hand. I looked at him. He offered the smallest smile. “You don’t have to carry the world on your shoulders today.” I tried to smile back. “I know.” Several members of his pack approached before stopping at a respectful distance. They bowed. “My King.” Draven acknowledged them with a nod before looking to an older woman near the front. Silver streaked through her neatly pinned brown hair, and gentle lines around her eyes suggested someone who smiled often. “Samantha.” He nodded towards her. She stepped forward. “My King.” “I’d like you to meet Elen

  • Ghost In The Pack   Banished

    Elena’s POV The convoy rolled to a stop in front of the packhouse, and for a few seconds I simply sat there with my hand resting on the door handle. The drive had given me too much time to think. Every mile had carried me farther away from the life I’d always known, and now there wasn’t another destination waiting beyond this one. Whether I was ready or not, this was where my path had brought me. Before I could convince myself to stay in the SUV another second, my door opened. Draven stood there waiting for me. He didn’t rush me. He didn’t tell me it was time to get out. He simply offered me his hand with that quiet confidence that somehow made impossible things feel manageable. “You don’t have to do this alone,” he said. I slipped my hand into his. “I know.” The words came out softer than I intended, but they were true. The moment my feet touched the ground, I looked up at the building in front of me. It wasn’t simply large. It carried history. Generations had lived here befo

  • Ghost In The Pack   The Trip

    Elena’s POV The journal never left my hands. Even after everyone scattered to gather what little they needed, I still clutched it against my chest like it somehow held the answers to questions none of us knew how to ask. ‘The path has finally opened.’ Those words replayed over and over inside my head. The path to what? Was this the path it was talking about? A few minutes later, I stepped out of the building with my backpack slung over one shoulder and my laptop tucked securely beneath my arm. The journal rested inside the backpack now, zipped away where I knew exactly where it was. It was strange. A few days ago, I would’ve protected my laptop above everything else. Now… I wasn’t sure which one frightened me more. The black SUVs waited outside with their engines already running. The men were loading the last few bags while Darren leaned against the driver’s door, talking animatedly to Byron about something that made Byron rub his temples. “I’m just saying,” Darren argued, throwin

  • Ghost In The Pack   To The Pack

    Elena’s POV Draven’s fingers remained wrapped around mine beneath the table until I finally slipped my hand free. The journal lay open in front of us. No one reached for it. No one spoke. The final words stared back at every one of us. ‘The path has finally opened.’ I couldn’t tear my eyes away from them. It felt wrong to close the journal, almost as if doing so would somehow change what we’d just witnessed. I’d watched fresh ink appear one letter at a time without anyone touching the page. It shouldn’t have been possible. Yet it had happened. The room, so loud only minutes ago, had fallen completely silent. Even Darren had nothing to say. That alone was unsettling. I glanced around the table. Byron sat with his brow furrowed in thought. Nico hadn’t taken his eyes off the journal since the writing stopped. Alan looked completely lost, while Lyra seemed caught somewhere between curiosity and concern. Beside me, Draven hadn’t moved. His thumb lazily brushed across the back of my

  • Ghost In The Pack   I Found You…

    Unknown POV The timer on my microwave hit zero with a cheerful beep. I grabbed the plate before the sound had a chance to repeat, tossed a pizza roll into my mouth, and immediately regretted it. “Hot.” I talked around the mouthful anyway, waving my free hand in front of my face while I crossed the room. Five monitors stretched across the wall in front of my desk, each one displaying something different. One tracked network traffic. Another mapped connection routes. A third listed packet timestamps that most people wouldn’t know how to read if their life depended on it. The other two… Those were where the fun happened. I dropped into my chair, set the plate beside the keyboard, and cracked my knuckles. “All right, Ghost.” My fingers danced across the keys. “Where are you?” A dozen command windows sprang to life. Lines of code streamed down the screens faster than most people could read them. Numbers, IP addresses, encrypted tunnels, relay nodes… Beautiful. Most people looked at t
