Chapter 4

Author: Shelley
The little silver wolf charm was still hanging off the phone case, alone.

He'd tied it on himself, on my tenth birthday, fumbling at the knot. He'd ruffled my hair and told me, very seriously, that as long as I carried the Sterling mark, I could never get lost from the pack.

I remember looking up at him. "But if I did get lost, would you come find me?"

He'd flicked my forehead and grinned. "Stupid question."

Cain held out his hand, voice rough. "Give it to me."

He stood rigid in the hallway, tak

  • My Alpha Brother’s Regret After I Died   Chapter 7

    The air in the Bureau's dim interrogation room was thick enough to choke on.Selene was shaking. She couldn't stop.Her father, the Holloway Alpha, had drilled her since she was small. He'd been brutal about it. You hold your breath when you're being crushed. You stay alive. Because as long as you're still breathing, you can still talk your way out.She'd miscalculated this time. Badly.Cain's face was a mask. He dropped a necklace onto the center of the interrogation table. Hard.Selene's pupils contracted. Her hand flew to her own throat. The gold chain her mother had left her, the one she never took off, was gone. She hadn't even felt it leave.Cain's surveillance team had picked it off her without her noticing.Then he threw a scent analysis report down beside it."This chain is identical to one logged in the inventory of items recovered from the Holloway Alpha's body. After the war.""Daddy's good little girl. Selene Holloway." His voice could've come straight out of a glacier.Th

  • My Alpha Brother’s Regret After I Died   Chapter 6

    Cain made his decision that night. Selene was getting investigated. Every inch of her.He pulled Garrett aside, away from everyone else. Surveillance went up around the house, quiet and tight. They needed her real movements from the last two years, not the version she'd given them. And so as not to spook her, the ceremony had to go on tonight as planned.Not long after, Selene showed up at the Bureau on her own. She wound herself around Cain and asked him, sweetly, to come with her to the family shrine before the ceremony, to pay respects to Marcus and Cordelia, to ask for the ancestors' blessing. It was tradition. Every Sterling Alpha did it before stepping into a major role.Cain's hand was in his pocket, working the ring Garrett had torn off him through the fabric. His face stayed cold. He agreed.He pushed open the heavy doors of the shrine. The incense was already lit. But Selene was nowhere inside.A rogue's scent hit him, strange and unfamiliar. Every muscle in him locked up. He

  • My Alpha Brother’s Regret After I Died   Chapter 5

    Iris, if you don't show up tonight, you're out of this pack for good.Those were his words. Then the click.And with that click, my last breath went out too.I collapsed. Beck leaned down close, his laugh quiet and awful in my ear."You heard him, didn't you? Your high-and-mighty Alpha brother has been wishing for you to disappear from the pack roster for two years now. So let me be generous. I'll take you off it for him. Permanently."A flash of silver. The blade came down.The first cut went right along that old scar, the one I'd taken for him at twelve.*****Back on the abandoned forest trail, Cain was crouched in the mud, fighting down the static-buzz of fury under his skin, going over the scene inch by inch.Then Hartley's voice came through the comms, tight and barely held together."Cain… the results are in." His voice shook. "The she-wolf in the woods. The scent. It's Iris."Something inside Cain broke clean through.He went down. Both knees hit the wet earth. Half his body sa

"But if I did get lost, would you come find me?"He'd flicked my forehead and grinned. "Stupid question."Cain held out his hand, voice rough. "Give it to me."He stood rigid in the hallway, taking the evidence bag. Through the plastic, he turned the gray phone over. The little silver wolf was still there, hanging off the back.His fingers were shaking. He typed in my birthday. The screen unlocked.The wallpaper was a photo. The two of us, kids, on a border patrol with our father.I was maybe eight or nine, in two crooked little braids. He was standing next to me. Both of us stiff and unsmiling, frowning at the camera like neither of us knew what to do with our faces.Something went ou

    Before he stood up, Cain pulled off his coat and laid it over the dead Gamma, gentle and reverent.I drifted along behind him in a daze, following his broad back back into the heavy quiet of the Bureau.The trackers he'd sent out to the neighboring packs were filtering back in, one by one. Nothing. The scent trail was dead.The Beta Garrett had sent to the eastern cottage hadn't found me either.Garrett's patience finally snapped. He strode to the desk, snatched up the ring my father Marcus had left behind, the ring that marked the Alpha, and slammed it down in front of Cain."Iris hasn't been heard from. Three days, and you, her own brother, don't care." Garrett's voice shook with disgust. "Marcus passed the Alpha title to you on his deathbed. He didn't do it so you could play handmaid to Selene at her ceremony."Cain reared up like a struck animal. "I don't have time for Iris's lunacy right now. Selene's ceremony tonight is the most important thing happening in Sterling territory, an

    After she left, Garrett let out a sigh. "Cain. It's Wednesday. Iris didn't bring the tea. With rogues this bold lately, I don't like it. Send your Beta out to the cottage. Just to check."Cain laughed, short and ugly."Check on her? She heard about Selene's ceremony tonight, and now she's sulking in that shack, cooking up something to ruin it. She called me three times last week, for nothing, and I didn't pick up because I was sick of it. Now she won't even show up tonight? That's the whole point. She's trying to get a reaction out of me."Garrett's eyes widened. He was about to push back when Cain's phone lit up again.Selene calling."Lena." The second he picked up, the temper went out of him. His voice dropped, gentle in a way he almost never was. "Hey. Don't worry. I'll be back before the ceremony starts.""Cain." Her voice came through wet and fragile, exactly the kind of voice that made him want to fix things. "The healing crystals for tonight's ceremony are gone. Iris came into

  • My Alpha Brother’s Regret After I Died   Chapter 1

    I watched helpless as they hacked my body apart, piece by piece. They dumped what was left at the forest border, right on the line between Sterling territory and rogue country.It was the most brazen insult the rogues had ever thrown at Sterling Pack. The thick smell of blood pulled the entire borde
