"The offer stands exactly as stated," he continues, his voice carrying the measured tone I recognize from courtroom presentations but with an undertone of something more personal. "My network of experts in exchange for one evening of your company. Dinner, conversation, nothing more complicated than

    “Why didn’t you tell me?” He glances up, the green in his eyes gone dark in the morning shadow. “Would you have believed me?” I want to say yes, but we both know the answer. I sip my coffee, taste the lemon, and let the bitterness set in. There’s a comfort in the ritual: evidence, analysis, the s

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 195

    For the first time in weeks, I am not afraid to let someone see me bleed. I thumb through the folder again, letting the evidence settle in the space between us. Every page is a tightrope: one wrong move and it’s all gone, the whole structure of the case and the story and the firm collapsing into a

    “Didn’t expect to see you here,” I say, which is both truth and challenge. Lucas smiles, just the right side of self-deprecating. “Someone had to keep the ship afloat. You weren’t answering your phone.” He pushes the central folder toward me, its tab blank but heavy with implication. “I think I fou

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 193

    The city is a pale bruise, all blue and yellowed white, the skyscrapers scrubbed clean by last night’s downpour. I walk the eight blocks to the office in a state of sensory hangover, every footfall reverberating up my shins and into the hollow spot just behind my sternum. Even the pigeons seem hungo

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 192

    Evelyn’s eyes are steel, but there’s a flicker of something underneath. Not doubt, exactly. More like the recognition that I’m telling the truth and it scares her. She drums her nails—tap tap tap—then snaps the binder closed. “You’d better hope you’re right. Because if she’s not here, and Nathan tr

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 191

    The only thing worse than holding down the fort is doing it from someone else’s throne. I’ve set up camp behind Mara Wolfe’s desk—a three-meter slab of matte black composite that reflects nothing, not even me. I can feel the residual heat of her palms in the armrest, the slight indentation in the le

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 55

    Lucas smiles, the expression almost teasing. “Sometimes it pays to take risks, Mara.” The use of my name is deliberate, intentional, and I feel my resistance falter, my defenses crumble. I don’t respond. I can’t respond. Not with words, not yet. I reach for a file, anything to keep the conversatio

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 22

    The pen wavers in my hand, an unsteady promise, an unsteady threat. I draw a line through Derek’s name, feel the pull to call him, to complicate things. The urge is sharp, almost as sharp as my need to avoid him, to handle this on my own. The breeze catches the edge of the calendar, rustling it like

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 20

    I sit at the vanity, the invitation like an accusation at my side. It catches the lamplight, sending tiny, taunting reflections across the mirror, across my face. My own eyes challenge me from the glass, daring me to risk it, daring me to ignore the cost. I scroll through photos on my phone, past ga

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 15

    Crystal shivers on the edges of the too-long silence between us. I search Derek’s face as we eat, my eyes skipping over his proud nose and chiseled jaw, noting every flicker of emotion that might tell me why this evening feels different. He smiles, but it’s an empty gesture that doesn’t reach his ey
