I feel it before I see her. The molecules spike straight to my hindbrain, trip a wire, and suddenly I am twelve years old in a room with too many strangers, every muscle tensed for attack or retreat. I grip the doorframe hard enough to leave fingerprints, the synthetic wood groaning under my hand.

    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

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 277

    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

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 276

    By the time I return to the bedroom, the sky has gone a little less black. I stand by the window and watch the city ooze into consciousness, the river spooling steam above the bridges, the traffic lights flipping through colors for no one. I roll my sleeves down to the knuckles, double-check the col

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 275

    I come awake in the dark, not because the alarm tells me, but because my body does: the itch under the skin, the pulse of blood just behind my ears. I lie still, hands above the covers, waiting for the throb in my jaw to fade. It never does. The clock reads 5:03, the hour when the world’s most dange

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 274

    For half a second, my eyes burn. But I don’t cry. Crying is for after you’ve already lost. My hands find the edge of the sill, knuckles whitening. I don’t realize I’m shaking until I almost drop my phone trying to unlock it. I scroll to Lucas’s number, thumb hovering over the call button. There’s s

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 4

    The crosswalk sign flashes red as I approach, an unwavering command to stop, to wait, to hold. I heed it, just this once. There is no harm in pausing when I know what lies ahead. The penthouse is a world apart from the one I now move through, but I carry pieces of it with me, fragments of luxury an

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 3

    The lock clicks behind me, each sound an echoing note of freedom. I inhale the promise of the morning and the heavy shroud of Derek’s latest message unfurls in the back of my mind. I will not think about it, about him, until I must. The weight of obligation falls away as I step forward, closing the

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 2

    The first hum of traffic stirs beneath the apartment, the city awakening like a great beast stretching itself from slumber. I swing my legs over the side of the bed, bare feet meeting the warmth of the hardwood with practiced silence. In the hush, I hear the measured tick of my wristwatch from acros

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 1

    My name commands attention, even whispered behind mirrored walls. Mara Wolfe. I sense the weight of their eyes on me, catch the reflection of their stunned admiration. Before my floor arrives, they already fear me. The girl with the coffee spills half of it on the way to her mouth, staining her bl
