The room smells of laundry soap and the faint echo of sweat from last night’s shift. I bury my face in the pillow, inhale, but it’s not the scent I crave. I roll to my back, stare at the ceiling, then at the window, where the moon is a thumbnail behind thin clouds.

It’s not full, not even close, bu

    I offer a smile, all teeth, but none of them friendly. “If you’re worried, Arthur, I suggest you keep your seatbelt on. The next quarter’s going to be a hell of a ride.” He laughs, soft and practiced, and sits back. The contest has drawn blood, but neither animal is ready to yield. Above us, the l

    He lets the word legend hang, and it lands with the weight of a threat. Hargrove’s jaw tightens, but he tries for neutral. “We were just reviewing the final deliverables. I assume you have something to add, Mr. Reynolds?” Arthur folds his hands, fingers interlaced, and leans forward just enough to

    The room is made of glass and consequence. Every surface gleams, every line calculated for maximal intimidation, even the view—twenty-eight floors above the city’s rust-scabbed arteries, windows so clear you could imagine the building didn’t exist at all. Only the table is solid: ten feet of lacquer

    But the wolf is not impressed. A twig snaps, sharp as a gunshot. I whip around, every muscle strung, ready to fight or flee. For a second, I think I see movement—a flash of pale, a blur of blue—but it could be the afterimage of the moon on my retinas, nothing more. My pulse stutters, then races. I

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 278

    I grab for the briefing packet, the one I prepped last night, and my hand trembles as I hold it up to the screen. Lucas’s eyes track the movement. I see him make a mental note, the kind he’ll bring up later, in private, like it’s a kindness to pretend he doesn’t know I’m falling apart. There’s anot

    Lila is in before seven, as promised. She’s got a triple-shot for me, heavy on the syrup, and she sets it at the edge of my desk like she’s leaving an offering at the foot of a dangerous idol. “Thank you,” I say, careful not to look up for too long. She’s a smart one; she’d see what’s wrong in a he

    I let them watch my lips on the crystal glass, as if that momentary union might yield some secret they can grasp at. The water is cool on my tongue, a contrast to the dry heat that thickens the room and everything in it. It carries the faint taste of minerals, the texture smooth and sliding, an in

    It's the friction that keeps us warm in the growing heat of the room, friction between minds and egos, between all we project and all we desire. The temperature rises with the stakes, the glass walls reflecting back our ambition until it feels as if we're caught in a pressure cooker of our own maki

    I let them watch me as I unfurl into motion, as I take my time, a tigress stretching beneath a lazy sun. The documents make a soft, lethal sound as they hit the glass, echoing back to fill the silence. These papers are my arsenal, my map to the battlefield I will carve from this sterile room. I ar

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 9

    The air thrums with ambition, the kind that leaves marks like teeth on skin. I step into the boardroom, a half dozen pairs of eyes pulling toward me as if gravity's force has just shifted. The glass walls loom like a watchful sky, reflections doubling back on themselves, encasing us in a tower of ou
