Across the table, Lucas is slumped in his chair, eyes closed, lips parted just enough to show the uneven line of his teeth. His chest rises and falls with a steadiness I want to hate. I watch him, the way his body relaxes even though I could, at any second, cross the room and break him. He trusts me

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 252

    We pass a group of teens on e-scooters, a couple tangled in their own hands and hair, and then we’re alone again, the trees making a tunnel of privacy. I keep reading, even as my feet move on their own, and only stop when we reach the narrow footbridge over the drainage creek—water barely moving, mo

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 251

    “You could have sent this to the FBI,” I say, flipping pages, not looking up. He snorts. “You know as well as I do, that’s a death sentence. For me, for you, for half the witnesses inside these walls.” He looks at the pond, the way the wind skims the surface, making even water look nervous. “I want

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 250

    I set the phone down so hard the battery cover pops loose. I don’t bother to fix it. I return to the files, to the graveyard of what passes for a life, and start marking up the next phase of the plan. If I’m going to let Lucas back in, even for a minute, I need to be ready for everything he might do

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 249

    The city at this hour is a test of willpower. Even eighty floors up, it presses in—crushing, faceless, indifferent. The only thing more relentless is the silence inside my own skull. The office has been stripped down to essentials: a lamp, a desk, and me, the last organism standing. The air, when I

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 248

    Reynolds is smart; that’s the whole problem. He’s built his accusation on a lattice of “concern” and “unexplained deviations,” every line engineered to sound plausible while remaining deniable. No hard evidence, but just enough smoke for the board to believe there’s a fire. I grab a legal pad and s

    He shrugs. “Consider it a professional courtesy. The real show will start in the morning. I thought you’d appreciate a head start.” He picks up my pen, twirls it between his fingers, leaves a shallow groove in the finish. “You’ve always been… unpredictable, Mara. But this?” He gestures to the letter

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 6

    The lock clicks behind me as I slip into the office. I am the wolf, even in tailored business attire. Even with it all wrapped up so tight. The edge of my existence cuts deep. The aftertaste of the night clings to my senses, a raw, metallic tang that I cannot swallow away. My steps falter, then re

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 5

    There is a freedom in it, a temptation that digs claws deep into my resolve and leaves it ragged and bleeding. I have spent a lifetime restraining the urge, tightening the leash until it bites into my own flesh. But the promise of release is a seductive whisper, its breath warm against my neck, its

  • 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
