Caged But Not Conquered

The pack's holding cell was a masterpiece of supernatural security—silver-lined walls that burned against Cassie's skin if she tried to shift, reinforced steel bars that could withstand even an Alpha's strength, and a constant low-frequency hum that disrupted concentration and made escape planning nearly impossible. It was designed to hold dangerous supernaturals until they could be transferred to more permanent facilities or face judgment for their crimes.

But Cassie had been sitting in this cell for seventy-two hours now, and instead of the despair or resignation her captors expected, her mind had crystallized around a single, burning focus: Lisa still lived, and that was unacceptable.

The failed assassination attempt had been a setback, nothing more. Yes, she'd lost her rogue allies—Vera, Slade, and Knox had vanished back into whatever hole they'd crawled out of, probably writing her off as an unstable amateur who'd compromised their professional reputat

    The Embrace of Home Lisa stood outside the dining hall doors with Luna Rose in her carrier, her heart hammering against her ribs as the sounds of laughter and conversation drifted through the wood. She'd changed clothes three times, finally settling on a simple blue dress that she hoped struck the right balance between effort and casualness. Luna Rose, blissfully unaware of her mother's anxiety, was wide awake and alert, her dark eyes taking in the new sounds and smells with characteristic curiosity. "Second thoughts?" Ethan asked gently, his hand finding the small of her back in a gesture of support. "Third and fourth thoughts," Lisa admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "What if they all stop talking when we walk in? What if the conversations get weird and stilted because no one knows what to say to Catherine Rothschild's daughter?" "Then we'll deal with it together," Ethan replied firmly. "But Lisa, you're not Catherine Rothschild's daughter in there. You're Luna Rose's m

    The Weight of Eyes The dinner invitation sat on Lisa's nightstand like an accusation, Sarah's elegant handwriting somehow making the simple request feel heavier than it should have been. "Monthly pack dinner tonight at seven. We'd love to see you and Luna Rose there. - S" It had been two weeks since the tribunal, two weeks since Lisa had stood before the entire pack and laid bare her family's darkest secrets. Two weeks of carefully timed trips to the kitchen during off-hours, of taking Luna Rose for walks only when she was certain the common areas would be empty, of declining every invitation and avoiding every gathering with increasingly elaborate excuses. Lisa crumpled the invitation and tossed it toward the wastebasket, missing by several inches. Luna Rose, who was having tummy time on a blanket spread across the floor, looked up at the sound and made one of her questioning baby noises, as if asking why her mother seemed so agitated. "Sorry, little moon," Lisa murmured, settli

    The Sound of Healing The sound of running water had been constant for twenty minutes, but the broken sobs echoing from the bathroom told Ethan everything he needed to know about Lisa's emotional state. She'd held herself together through the entire tribunal with a strength that had awed him—standing up to Cassie's accusations, acknowledging her mother's crimes, promising to honor Margaret Winters' memory. But now, in the safety of their bedroom, the dam had finally burst. Ethan sat on their bed with Luna Rose against his chest, gently patting her back as she dozed after her afternoon feeding. The baby seemed unusually peaceful, as if sensing that her parents needed quiet moments to process the emotional earthquake that had just rocked their world. Her tiny fingers were curled around the fabric of his shirt, and the weight of her warm, trusting body against his heart served as an anchor to what truly mattered. "She's really something, isn't she?" he murmured to Luna Rose, though hi

    The Tribunal of Truth The great hall had been transformed into a formal tribunal chamber, its ancient stone walls bearing witness to pack justice for over two centuries. Three high-backed chairs sat at the front—Matthew in the center as presiding Alpha, flanked by Elena as the pack's eldest member and Samuel, the senior warrior who served as voice for pack security. Behind them, the carved wolves that decorated the wall seemed to watch with stone eyes as the assembled pack filled every available seat. Lisa sat in the front row with Luna Rose sleeping in her carrier, Ethan's steady presence beside her like an anchor in the storm she knew was coming. She could feel the weight of countless gazes on her back—pack members who had just learned the truth about her mother's crimes, families of the victims whose deaths had been covered up for decades, young wolves who had grown up hearing whispered stories they'd never quite believed. The investigation Matthew had ordered had unearthed a p

    Ghosts in the Mirror Lisa sat in the nursery's rocking chair at three in the morning, Luna Rose sleeping peacefully in her arms, but sleep remained as elusive as forgiveness. Two days had passed since Matthew's revelation about her mother's involvement in Cassie's family tragedy, and Lisa felt like she was drowning in a sea of inherited guilt and second-guessing every moment of happiness she'd allowed herself over the past few years. The soft moonlight streaming through the window illuminated Luna Rose's perfect features—the gentle curve of her cheek, the dark eyelashes that rested against her skin, the tiny fist curled trustingly against Lisa's chest. Looking at her daughter should have brought the usual flood of maternal love and protective instinct, but instead, Lisa found herself searching for signs of the darkness that seemed to run through the Rothschild bloodline like poison. "What have I passed on to you?" she whispered to her sleeping daughter. "What legacy am I leaving y

    The Weight of Truth Lisa stared at the file Matthew had placed on the kitchen table between them, her hands trembling as she read the decades-old incident report that had been buried in pack archives. Luna Rose slept peacefully in her carrier beside the table, blissfully unaware that her mother's world was crumbling with each line of clinical, sanitized text. "Margaret Anne Winters, age 28, died from injuries sustained in a hunting accident..." Lisa read aloud, her voice barely above a whisper. "Fell from cliff face during routine pack exercise. No witnesses to the actual fall. Three senior pack members attempted rescue but were unable to reach her in time." The words swam on the page as Lisa tried to process what Matthew had just told her about his conversation with Cassie. The "hunting accident" that had killed Cassie's mother when she was twelve years old. The three she-wolves from influential families who had supposedly cornered a "mouthy" omega and pushed her to her death. The
