I didn’t hear Darius come in. I only knew he was there when strong arms wrapped around me from behind, pulling me into his chest. His warmth, his scent—earthy and grounding—quieted the storm in my head.He pressed a kiss to my neck, and I exhaled softly."Don’t think too hard," he murmured, lips brushing my skin. "We’re going to get through this. Together."I turned in his arms, eyes locking with his. I couldn’t find the words, so I just nodded. That seemed to be enough for him.After a pause, he said, "The place on the map—we're tracing it tomorrow. Our scouts are preparing already. And as much as I’d rather keep you behind these walls, you need to come with us."My breath caught. Not from fear. From the realization that he wasn’t trying to shield me anymore.I nodded again, more firmly this time. "I wasn’t planning to stay back. I’m coming, whether you like it or not."He grinned, the sharp kind that tugged at his dimples. "I figured. Besides, you’d definitely have my head if I left

“Kasamaan.”Draco repeated the name, tasting it on his tongue like he wasn’t sure he heard it right the first time. The entire room was holding its breath.“That can’t be,” he said finally, voice low. “Kasamaan is dead.”He looked around the room as if hoping someone would agree with him, but the silence only made his statement feel thinner, more uncertain.“Are you sure?” Darius asked—not accusing, not skeptical. Just quiet. Measured.“No one’s heard from him since the fall of Iron Fang,” Draco replied. “Their entire territory was razed. The Alpha—Hunter—he was killed in the final siege.”My blood ran cold.Hunter. That name again. Draco continued, his brow furrowed. “His Luna, was slain too. Along with their child. The corpses were... hard to identify. The battle was brutal. But the death toll matched the number of their leadership. Everyone assumed they all died in the fire. And Kasamaan? He vanished without a trace.”Draco turned to me now. “Where did you hear that name?”Before

Without exchanging pleasantries or wasting time on diplomacy, we turned and headed toward the pack house. His beta pulled the car forward into the parking lot while the rest of us walked briskly up the steps and through the main door. Inside, the place was mostly empty. The clatter of plates and soft murmurs of voices filtered from the dining hall. Most of the pack must have been at breakfast by now.But none of us turned toward food.Instead, we made a beeline for Darius’s office. Once inside, the door shut behind us with a heavy click. I sat beside Darius, with Marcus standing at the window like a silent sentinel. Across from us, Draco and his beta took their seats, tension settling into the room like a storm cloud.Draco wasted no time.“We’ve come across a clue,” he began. “Regarding your mother and sister.”My breath caught. I exchanged a glance with Darius, then looked back at Draco.“Where?” I asked, my voice sharp with urgency.Draco cleared his throat. "The day you visited Si

We got to the border just as the wind shifted, thick with tension and the scent of something dark—unfamiliar, yet vaguely recognizable. There, standing calmly between two of our warriors, was a woman I had never seen before in my life. And yet, somehow, her aura felt... familiar. Disturbingly so.She didn’t look like me. Not even close. Her skin was pale, almost grayish under the forest shadows. Her eyes, a strange smoky color, gleamed with something unreadable. Her build was lean, predatory. So when one of the warriors had said she looked exactly like me? I’d assumed some kind of trick or illusion. But now that I stood a few feet away from her, I realized it wasn’t about physical appearance. Her energy was eerily similar to mine—twisted, darkened, but familiar enough to make the hairs on my arms rise.I glanced at Darius beside me. He said nothing, his face locked in that unreadable expression he wore when he was working through ten different instincts at once. But the slight squeeze

But he was already gone. The door was left swinging gently behind him.I stood frozen, the silence in the room suddenly deafening.Hunter.Who the hell was Hunter?My knees nearly gave. I sat back on the edge of the bed, the letter’s words echoing endlessly in my mind.You are the daughter of Maradona and Hunter.My father’s name was Michael. Michael. The man who raised me. Who held me close when I had nightmares. Who died trying to protect me.So who was this man called Hunter? Had my entire childhood been a lie?I looked back down at the photo in my lap—the woman who called herself Maradona. Who called herself my mother.I felt like I was slipping.I pressed the heels of my hands to my forehead, squeezing my eyes shut.Nothing made sense. My wolf was pacing in my chest. Nora was silent. Even Luna—usually so bold—seemed unsettled. Like they both knew something I didn’t.I had to go after him.Whatever Darius saw in that map, it rattled him. And if he knew something about Hunter—or th

He shrugged, a sheepish look spreading across his face. “I sent Dianne and Diva to get them. I just told them to grab everything a woman might need.”I shook my head, laughing softly. “Of course you did.”I took over, rubbing lotion into my skin while he watched like it was some sacred ritual he wasn’t allowed to disturb.As I slipped on a soft, breezy dress, he turned toward the bathroom, towel slung low on his hips, and called out over his shoulder, “You’re not using this room anymore.”I paused, frowning. “What?”He stopped in the doorway and looked back at me. “This room. It’s not yours now. Come to mine. I mean, ours.”My mouth fell open, and for a second, I had no clue what to say. He stood there waiting, eyes hopeful, almost pleading.My heart did a full somersault.I swallowed and nodded. “Okay?.”That triumphant grin of his came fast, full of pride and something softer—satisfaction, maybe, or just plain happiness.He vanished into the bathroom to shower again, humming under h
