Cora’s POV

I shouldn’t have been shaking.

Not after everything I’ve faced.

Not after kidnappings, rogue attacks, political councils, and blood on snow.

But Cain’s words lingered in my mind long after he walked away.

"I’m going to fight for you".

The wind cut across the eastern ridge, sharp and relentless, but it wasn’t the cold that unsettled me. It was the certainty in his voice.

He meant it.

I stood there longer than I intended, staring at the forest below. Frostbite territory stretc

    Atreus POV The door slammed in my face. I stared at it for a moment. Then another. Silence settled in the hallway. Behind that door stood two wolves who currently wanted very little to do with me. One was understandable. The other was unfortunate. A faint smile tugged at my mouth despite myself. Anton was exactly the sort of Alpha I expected. Protective. Suspicious. Stubborn. The man had spent nearly ten minutes trying to interrogate me before finally giving up and becoming openly hostile. Name. Clan. Territory. Age. Intentions. The questions had come one after another. I had answered none of them. At least not in any meaningful way. That had gone over about as well as expected. The memory followed me as I headed toward the elevator. "Who are you?" "Atreus." "That's your name." "Correct." "Where are you from?" "A long way from here." Anton had looked ready to punch me. Hannah had looked ready to laugh. The difference be

    Hannah's POVI stared at the photograph for a long moment before finally looking up.Anton was already awake.Or at least he looked awake.The expression on his face suggested otherwise.He looked mad the second he saw the picture in my hand.Now he was studying it with the kind of focus that usually meant someone was about to have a very bad day.Unfortunately, that someone might be me."Where was it?" he asked."Outside the door.""What time?"I glanced toward the clock."Not long."His eyes narrowed."Did you hear anything?""No.""Smell anything?""No."That answer bothered him.It bothered me too.Wolves missed things sometimes.Not often.Not like this.Whoever had left the envelope knew exactly what they were doing.Anton stood.Without another word, he headed for the door.I followed.The hallway sat empty beneath fluorescent lights.Silent.Ordinary.A place people walked through every day without thinking twice about it.Now it felt different.Anton checked the stairwell fir

    Chapter 6 Hannah POV The walk back to my apartment should have helped clear my head. Instead, it somehow made everything worse. Los Angeles moved around me in a blur of headlights and conversations. Music spilled from restaurants. People laughed on sidewalks. A couple argued outside a convenience store over something that seemed important to them and completely irrelevant to everyone else. Normal life. Human life. The kind of life I'd wanted when I left Frostbite. The kind of life that suddenly felt very far away. Because of what you can do. Atreus' words refused to leave me alone. Because they sounded like a fact. It wasn't a speculation or a theory. A fact. Someone wanted me because of my abilities. The question was who. And worse How long had they known? I crossed the street as the light changed. Three years. Three years building a life here. Three years believing I was invisible. Maybe I never had been. The thought settled heavily in

    Hannah's POV "You have a problem." Anton delivered the statement the same way he might have announced rain. Calm. Matter-of-fact. Entirely too serious. I tossed my keys onto the kitchen counter and stared at him. "You drove across the country to tell me that?" "No." "Good." "I flew." I rolled my eyes. "Oh goddess." I couldn't help but laugh. For the first time since opening my apartment door, a hint of amusement returned to his face. "Missed me?" "Not even a little." "Liar." "A little." "Better." I moved into the kitchen, grabbing two bottles of water from the refrigerator and tossing one his way. He caught it easily. Some things never changed. Three years might have passed, but Anton still carried himself like a beta. Not in the aggressive way some leaders did. It was quieter than that. Steadier. The confidence of someone who knew exactly who he was. The confidence of someone who had earned his place. The Alpha of Frostbite.

    Hannah's POVBy the third time I saw the same black sedan, I stopped pretending it was a coincidence.Los Angeles wasn't Frostbite.People crossed paths all the time. Millions of people lived here. Seeing the same face twice wasn't unusual.Three times in one morning?That was different.I stood outside a coffee shop near the office, waiting for my order while pretending not to stare through the window.The sedan sat across the street.Parked.Engine running.Nothing suspicious about that on its own.What bothered me was the driver.Because he wasn't looking at traffic.He wasn't checking his phone.He wasn't drinking coffee.He was watching.Not me directly.The building.The sidewalk.The people moving in and out.Observing.Patiently.My instincts stirred uneasily.The wolf inside me didn't care about evidence.The wolf cared about patterns.And lately patterns kept appearing."Large black coffee."I grabbed the cup from the counter."Thanks."The moment I stepped outside, I glance

  • Rejected Mate: Rise of the Lycan Princess    Chapter 155

    Hannah's POV Years ago, before everything changed, exhaustion would hit hard enough to drag me under whether I wanted it or not. Back then life had been simpler. Frostbite. Pack obligations. Training. Family. Problems I understood. Now life looked normal from the outside. A carefully built routine. But that didn't quiet a mind that had learned to recognize when something wasn't right. I stared at my ceiling. Two thirty-seven in the morning. Los Angeles lights filtered through the curtains, casting faint shadows across my room. The city never truly slept. There was always movement somewhere. Sirens in the distance. Cars moving through intersections. People living lives I'd never know. Three years. Three years since I left. Three years of building something that belonged entirely to me. So why did it suddenly feel like the ground beneath my feet had shifted? I turned onto my side. Closed my eyes. Immediately saw him. Dark coat. Impossible stillness. E

    Cora's POV Crossing into Lincoln territory feels like stepping into a wound that never healed. The air changes first. It’s subtle, but my wolf feels it immediately, old scents layered with fresh blood, smoke clinging to the wind, fear soaked so deeply into the soil it hums beneath my feet. M

    Cain’s POV The silence after battle is worse than the screaming. It settles over Lincoln pack like a suffocating fog, heavy with the scent of blood, ash, and grief. The rogues are gone.....for now.....but they’ve left devastation behind them. Broken walls. Burned homes. Bodies laid out on the s

    Eric’s POV The Lincoln pack courtyard is a graveyard of what was and a battlefield of what remains. Smoke curls into the night sky, mixing with the metallic tang of blood and the acrid scent of burnt timber. Warriors move among the wounded, dragging bodies, tending injuries, and murmuring prayer
