(Kathryn’s POV)

I smiled, shook his hand and replied, “Nice to meet you, my name is Kathryn Stevens.” Even through my glove, I felt a tingling sensation when we shook hands. It was strange.

“Stevens? Are you related to Leslie Stevens?” he asked.

“Yes, I’m her niece. I just moved into her house,” I answered. I wondered why I was sharing this with a stranger.

“I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your aunt,” he was very sympathetic. “If you’ve moved into the house then we’re neighbors. I own the land just east of your property. If there is anything you need, let me know.”

“That’s nice of you, thanks.” I couldn’t stop smiling as I spoke to him. I was acting like a schoolgirl who saw a cute guy for the first time.

Sherry came by to take my drink order and I just asked for a soda; I didn’t need to be drinking alcohol around a bunch of people I didn’t know. Ten minutes later, two plates of fish with some fixings on the side were placed in front of us. Quietly I started to eat

    77 (Kathryn’s POV) The trees changed as we crossed into Carson’s territory denser, darker, as if even the forest knew something had gone wrong. The drive was silent, except for the hum of tires on the road and the occasional crackle of the radio. Tyler hadn’t said much since we left. He didn’t need to. The storm was already brewing in both of us. Jake drove fast, but not recklessly. The kind of speed that said Alpha orders, no delays. My fingers twisted in my lap as we pulled through the gates of Alpha Carson’s packhouse. Warriors met us immediately, ushering us toward the main building where Carson stood waiting, dressed not like an Alpha today, but a man who’d been running damage control for hours. He didn’t waste time. “Tyler, Kate come with me. I’ll explain on the way.” We followed him down the hall, past curious eyes and solemn nods. The place was buzzing, but with a kind of grim efficiency. No chaos. Just quiet, hard purpose. “Scott was found this morning on the west highw

    76 (Kathryn’s POV) Tyler didn’t return until well after midnight. I was still awake, curled in the window seat in our bedroom, watching the woods for any sign of him. When he walked in, he smelled like smoke and death. I rose to meet him. “You found something.” He nodded. “Jaxson’s not just regrouping. He’s already set the board.” My throat tightened. “Did he leave a message?” He stepped closer, cupping my face in his hands. “Only one.” He leaned down and kissed me—fierce, burning. When he finally pulled back, he whispered, “We see your Luna.” I didn’t flinch. I met his eyes with calm steel. “Then he’d better be ready. Because your Luna sees him, too.” I walked over and quietly shut the door. When I turned around, Tyler was already peeling off his shirt. I winced at the sight of his wounds. He paced the edge of the bed, shirtless, his skin streaked with fresh gashes and half-healed bruises. His fists clenched and unclenched, his jaw tight with unspoken rage. Though the retali

    75 (Kathryn’s POV) They brought Leo into the lower war room, the one without windows, where even sound didn’t travel unless allowed. I watched from behind the two-way glass, heart tight in my chest. He looked so young. His wrists were bound, not cruelly, but firmly. His clothes were torn and scorched. His mouth was cracked and healing where he’d bitten through his own lip. But it was his eyes that hit hardest. They were wide not with fear, but with a kind of hollow obedience. Like someone had scooped the fire out of him and left just enough to walk and speak. “Is he under compulsion?” I asked. Camerin stood beside me. “Not anymore. It broke the second he crossed the border. He’s lucid. But fractured.” “What did Jaxson do to him?” Camerin didn’t answer. He didn’t have to. Leo sat motionless in the center of the room, unflinching when Micah entered. The door clicked shut behind him. “Leo,” Micah said, voice low and even. “Do you know where you are?” A pause. Then a hoarse whispe

    74 (Kathryn’s POV) The hallway leading to the cells beneath the packhouse was cold. Colder than I expected, not in temperature, but in energy. The deeper we descended, the more it felt like the weight of old shadows pressed against my skin. Tyler walked ahead of me, silent and focused. Two warriors flanked us both in partial shift, claws ready, eyes glowing faintly gold. They didn’t speak, but I felt the tension rolling off them in waves. Camerin waited at the cell block entrance, arms crossed. “He’s stable,” he said as he unlocked the gate. “But barely. Looks like he tried to fight more than just us before we got to him. Whatever Jaxson’s doing to his wolves… it’s not training. It’s torture.” I swallowed hard and nodded. “I won’t go in. Just look.” The cell was dimly lit, and the scent hit me first blood, sweat, and something burnt. Like singed fur.The rogue sat slumped in the corner, his breathing ragged. One eye was swollen shut, and there were angry, mottled bruises down his

    73 (Kathryn’s POV) My hands were still sore when I stepped into our room later that afternoon. The training blade had raised a few blisters, and Camerin had left me with a bruised rib and a parting shot of “Rest, Luna. You’re no good to anyone if you break before the fight begins.” Tyler was already there. He sat on the edge of the bed, elbows on his knees, running a whetstone along a long dagger. His focus was absolute, but I felt him register my presence the second I crossed the threshold. He didn’t look up right away. “You came back in one piece.” “Barely.” I peeled off my hoodie and dropped onto the armchair across from him. “Camerin fights like a freight train with teeth.” “He goes easy on you.” I scoffed. “I think he tried to fold me in half twice today.” Tyler finally looked up. His eyes softened a little when he saw the sweat still dampening my neck, the flush still clinging to my cheeks. “You’re holding yourself different.” I blinked. “What do you mean?” He set the

    72 (Kathryn’s POV) The training yard was colder than I expected. Morning mist clung low to the ground, curling around my boots like smoke, and the stones beneath my feet were slick with dew. A row of warriors stood off to the side, sparring in pairs grunts and the sharp crack of contact echoing across the open space. Camerin stood in the center of the yard, arms folded across his broad chest, expression unreadable. I walked toward him slowly, feeling the weight of every eye that tracked my movements. The moment had finally arrived, no more borrowed time, no more protective bubble. Camerin nodded as I stopped in front of him. “Luna.” “Camerin.” I wasn’t going to call him sir. Not today. Tyler leaned against the fence near the edge of the yard, Goliath pacing just beneath his golden eyes. I could feel his gaze on me like the warm, intense, watchful sun. “You ready to get knocked on your ass?” Camerin asked, finally cracking a small smirk. “Just make sure you hit hard enough to m
