The horn sounded.

Time slowed to a crawl as I stepped into the center of the ancient circle. Four Alphas surrounded me, their eyes gleaming with predatory hunger. The crowd fell silent, the weight of centuries pressing down on us.

I kept my mind linked with Lily open, feeling her steady presence like an anchor in the storm.

*Ready?* Lucas asked.

"As ready as we'll ever be."

Alpha Thorne moved first, his massive frame lunging forward with surprising speed. I sidestepped, feeling the rush of air as his claws whistled past my face.

The others circled like sharks scenting blood.

"Is that all you've got?" Thorne snarled, his grey eyes blazing with contempt.

"We're just getting started."

Reeves came at me from the left while Cross attacked from the right. I dropped low, rolling between them as they crashed into each other. The crowd roared its approval.

*Use the ring,* Lucas urged. *End this quickly.*

"Not yet. They need to see we can win without it."

"Without what?

    The horn sounded. Time slowed to a crawl as I stepped into the center of the ancient circle. Four Alphas surrounded me, their eyes gleaming with predatory hunger.

    The morning air was crisp as we loaded the vehicles. One day before the challenge. One day before everything changed. "Eva." I pulled my sister aside. "You know what to do." "Keep the pack safe. Keep the borders secure. Keep everyone calm." She nodded, but I could see the worry in her eyes. "And if you don't come back?" "I will." "But if you don't?" "Then you lead them. You've been ready for this responsibility for years." I turned to survey the small group coming with us. Marcus, obviously. Three of my best fighters'd serve as additional security. The pack doctor, because challenges this serious require medical support. And Lily. She stood beside our vehicle, wearing the armor I'd commissioned for her. Lightweight but protective, designed to blend function with feminine form. She looked like a warrior queen, beautiful and dangerous. "You don't have to do this," I said, approaching her. "Yes, I do." She adjusted the armor's straps. "We've been over this." "We hav

    We moved to the bed still damp, our bodies fitting together perfectly as we had so many times before. My head found its place on his chest, his heartbeat steady under my ear. "I want to come with you," I said into the darkness. His body tensed immediately. "No." "Ace—" "No, Lily. Not." "Why?" "Because it's dangerous. Because I need to focus on the fight, not on keeping you safe." "I can keep myself safe." "Against four Alpha wolves in combat frenzy? I don't think so." I pushed up on my elbow to look at him. "I'm not asking to fight. I'm asking to be there." "Same thing." "No, it's not. I'm asking to be close enough to know you're alive. To be there if..." I couldn't finish the sentence. "If I lose?" "If you get hurt." "I won't." "You can't promise that." "I can promise that having you there will distract me. That knowing you're in danger will make me vulnerable." "And being separated from you makes me vulnerable too." He was quiet for a long moment

    Three days until the challenge. Three days until the man I loved would face four Alpha wolves in combat that could end his life. I watched from the training room window as Ace worked with the Alpha King ring, his movements becoming more fluid with each passing hour. The ancient power was bonding with him, transforming him into something magnificent and terrifying. But also something that might not come home to me. "He's getting stronger," Marcus said, appearing beside me. "Is it enough?" "It has to be." That wasn't the reassurance I needed. I'd been living on "has to be" for days now, and the uncertainty was eating me alive. Ace moved through the training sequence again, the ring pulsing with dark fire as he channeled its power. His body was changing—more defined, more powerful, more dangerous. The gentle man who held me at night was becoming a weapon forged for war. "I need to be there," I said quietly. "Luna—" "I need to be there, Marcus. I can't sit here wonderi

    The neutral ground felt like a battlefield before the first shot was fired. Twenty-three pack leaders sat around the massive oak table, their scents mixing into a cocktail of tension, aggression, and barely contained violence. The Alpha King ring pulsed on my finger, responding to the electric atmosphere. I'd known this moment would come. The question was whether I'd be ready for it. "Let me make this simple," growled Alpha Thorne of the Silverback Pack, his grey eyes fixed on me with open hostility. "You're not our king. You're a pretender who got lucky with an ancient trinket." "The ring doesn't choose pretenders," I replied, keeping my voice steady despite the adrenaline coursing through my veins. "It chooses leaders." "Leaders are earned, not appointed by magic jewelry." Alpha Reeves of the Ironwood Pack leaned forward. "We've been governing ourselves for over a century. We don't need some upstart telling us how to run our territories." "And we sure as hell don't need

    The wolf inside me stirred restlessly as I paced Derek's living room, waiting for him to finish his phone calls. Three days had passed since my transformation, and I still felt like I was wearing someone else's skin. The rage that came with my new nature pulsed beneath the surface, begging to be unleashed. But I had to be smart about this. Patient. The old James would have rushed in without a plan. The new James—the one with supernatural strength and centuries of inherited fury—knew better. "Found someone," Derek said, hanging up his phone. "Her name's Maria. She's raised six kids of her own, and she's discreet. Won't ask questions about where you got the baby or where you're going." "Good. When can she start?" "Tomorrow. But James, are you sure about this? Using your daughter as bait—" "She's not bait." The words came out sharper than I intended, and Derek took a step back. "She's my child. My blood. And she's going to help me get back what's mine." "By manipulating L
