Levi's POV

After breakfast, we go to find Baldwin. Apparently, his office is in one of the barns at the back of the stables. When we get there, Baldwin is inside with four other guys, as if they’ve been waiting for us.

“Ah, you’re here. Come in,” he says, standing. “This is Caleb, Aaron, Dante, and Chase.”

The four of them rise as we introduce ourselves.

Caleb has the bushiest eyebrows I’ve ever seen. They’re thick and dark, making his broad face look thoughtful. He has a quiet demeanour, and s

    Samuels's POVHe presses us back again, and we grapple, teeth and paws everywhere, until we finally manage to get a proper bite, clamping down hard on his foreleg. The taste of blood floods our senses for a moment, and then we hear the satisfying crack.But a second later there’s an agonising burst of pain and then wetness between our legs, followed, strangely, by almost no pain at all. We stumble, our feet snagging on something, but we hold on, teeth biting deeper into the now-crushed leg. Onyx starts to shake, wanting to rip the fucker’s leg off.We sense movement around us, and in the edge of our vision we see a rank of warriors in human form surrounding us.Shit. If they engage, we’re going to struggle. We don’t know what the fucker did to our stomach, but we keep feeling a weird tugging sensation, and we’re beginning to see black spots at the edge of our vision. The adrenaline keeps us moving, but something’s wrong.We feel her before we see her. The Task Force bond thrums as Zah

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 268

    Samuels's POVWe run, Onyx just on Zahra’s wolf’s tail, with Levi a few metres behind us. His small brown wolf is going to struggle to keep pace if we have to drive this hard for long, but we don’t have a choice right now. We’ve dispatched the patrols, but someone will have heard their howls, and we’re still too close.Then I hear it, Onyx’s ears picking up a loud howl.Fuck.We put on a burst of speed, Zahra’s wolf and Onyx lengthening their strides the way hours of endurance runs have taught them to do without conscious thought. But the small brown wolf behind us increases his pace instead, scrambling to compensate, and I can already hear his breathing sawing in and out as he starts to fall further back.Fuck.‘We’ll have to leave him. Zahra and the girls are our mission.’Onyx is right, and I know it, but I still feel a flicker of guilt after all Levi’s help. The truth of it is simple. I used him to get them out, but I’m not sacrificing Zahra for him.Another howl goes up, this one

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 267

    Cole's POVBlood and fur fly as Ceraon spins to meet the other wolf's lunge, the two of them crashing together hard enough to shake the ground beneath us. He keeps us in close, where his heavier body gives him the advantage, his back legs raking viciously across the wolf's stomach as they grapple. Then the bastard clamps down on Ceraon's foreleg.I hear the crack a moment before agony rips through my leg, white-hot and instant, the kind of pain that wipes everything else out for a second.Ceraon snarls and twists, trying to rip free, but the wolf hangs on, teeth sunk deep, shaking his head as if he means to tear the whole limb off.A few of my warriors have caught up now, circling us in human form, staying out of range of the fight and making themselves entirely fucking useless. Honestly what is the fucking point of all that training?!Ceraon is snarling and whimpering all at once, and I can see blood gushing from the other wolf's open stomach where our claws tore through him.Before

    Cole's POVAbout ten minutes pass before another howl goes up, then another, this time from the south-west.I’m already moving before the second one fully fades.Ceraon surges with me as I take off at a run, throwing back a howl of my own for any warriors in the vicinity to follow. I shift as I round the front of the castle, claws tearing into the earth as I hit the lawn at speed—then skid to a halt so hard the grass rips beneath my paws.Bodies.There are bodies sprawled across the grass. Warriors. My warriors.For one sharp, sickening second, I think they’re dead, every one of them cut down where they stood, but then I catch it—heartbeats. Slow and heavy. Not dead, then. Unconscious? I don’t have time to stop check on them.I howl again, louder this time, and a few warriors come running from the castle doors.In their human form.I stare at them for half a second, thrown, but there’s no time to question it yet. I turn and drive forward into the woods, expecting to hear the crack of

    Cole's POVI head back to my office. I've got more work to do after Catalina's interruption earlier, more supplies to order for her experiments and to fuel the expansion, as well as all the interview reports to read through for this investigation.I settle back in my office and pick up a file when my phone buzzes in my pocket.Thinking it's Catalina, I pull it out.But I see it's Baldwin.Baldwin: are you free Beta, I have information about the SA investigation.\I sit up.Here we go. About fucking time.I reply quickly.Me: my office, nowI pull up Elwin's contacts. We may need someone bringing him in.Me: you busy?Elwin: no?Me: my office. we might have news re the investigation.Five minutes later there's a knock on the door, and Elwin enters."Good to see you knocked this time," I say without looking up."Learnt my lesson. My retinas will never recover.""That's what you get for barging in," I say pointedly.There's another knock, and he opens the door.Baldwin stands there with

    Zahra's POVWe run through the dark trees away from the castle. I feel the thrill in my body at leaving that place, but Zanthe is keeping me focused and grounded as she leads her new pack, and all the others, away from the danger. And I know we can't relax until we're safe. Freedom still feels fragile enough to shatter.Periodically I see trees with claw marks slashed into them, and I know we're going the right direction. If I focus, I can also catch the scent of Samuels here and there too, clearly he's been along here repeatedly, which may cause us a problem if any of the guards know what he smells like.The others behind me are quiet as we run at a steady, fast pace. We can't all-out sprint because many of these girls won't keep up, and we've all been locked in a dungeon, chained into uncomfortable positions for months. Running feels almost as alien as the fresh air does, and the moonlight on Zanthe's fur feels. Like my body can't quite believe it's being allowed to do this.'You're

    Zahra's POVThe others are just arriving now — the twelve Elites, Greg, Austin, and Lucas.“Zahra!” Wyatt calls. Brendon and Jaxson are here too. I recognise most of the others, but not well enough to put names to all their faces. It’s been too long, and I was never exactly close with them before I

I can’t remember much, but there’s this weird feeling in my chest, like something monumental has happened—or is about to.Right now, though, I feel unbelievably content. Warm. Relaxed.

    Zahra's POVHot. I’m so bloody hot. I wake feeling like I’m being roasted alive. Everything’s heavy and close, and I can barely move. My skin’s sticking to something solid and warm—actually, scratch that, boiling. I blink hard, trying to clear my eyes, and all I can see is smooth, sun-kissed skin
