“N-no, sir,” the boy answered. He tried to sound brave as he shifted in front of his little sister, hiding her behind him. “We found the money on the road.”

I glanced at the battered backpack clutched against his chest. Several banknotes were visible through the open zipper, their paper bands soaked through by the rain.

“How fortunate,” I said. “Cash scattered on the ground and waiting for you to collect it.”

The children stepped back.

I could hardly blame them. Children raised in the po

    Pierce“N-no, sir,” the boy answered. He tried to sound brave as he shifted in front of his little sister, hiding her behind him. “We found the money on the road.”I glanced at the battered backpack clutched against his chest. Several banknotes were visible through the open zipper, their paper bands soaked through by the rain.“How fortunate,” I said. “Cash scattered on the ground and waiting for you to collect it.”The children stepped back.I could hardly blame them. Children raised in the poorer districts learned early not to trust well-dressed strangers, especially ones who appeared after dark and asked questions about money.“Our house is near the river,” the boy hurried to explain. “We were walking home when we found it. We’re sorry we blocked your car.”The girl peeked around his shoulder. Mud stained the knees of her dress, and her wet hair was plastered to her face.“Did you see who dropped it?”They both shook their heads.“It was already here,” the boy said. “Some bills wer

    PierceBy late afternoon, I had spent more than six hours inside the regional council complex two cities north of Crescent City.The chief official presented one case after another while prosecutors questioned suspects and witnesses beneath the watchful eyes of the council. Because several of the cases involved crimes committed across pack territories, my presence had been requested as Blackthorn’s Alpha.I sat at the long table reserved for ruling Alphas, watching the proceedings with growing impatience. Most of the accused were guilty. I could smell their fear every time they lied, yet the prosecutors continued asking the same questions in different forms as though repetition might somehow force the truth from their mouths.The final hearing concerned the movement of illegal funds through Crescent City. Several shell businesses and private accounts had been traced back to people employed by Councilman Lowe. There still wasn’t enough evidence to accuse Lowe directly, but there was mo

    RuelleIn the end, I couldn’t do it.I couldn’t kill them.No matter how many reasons I gave myself, I couldn’t force the words of a death curse past my lips. The thought of watching the life leave their eyes made my stomach twist. And even if I succeeded, their deaths would possibly create a much larger problem.But I couldn’t leave the two werewolves unharmed, either.The binding curse was already weakening. Fine cracks of blue light spread along the invisible restraints, and Councilman Lowe had managed to pull one arm several inches away from the wall. Once he broke free, I doubted I would survive long enough to reach the study door.So I chose another curse.Something stronger than the first, but not fatal.I would shatter the bones in their legs and curse the injuries so their werewolf healing couldn’t repair them immediately. They would recover eventually, but not soon enough to chase me through the estate.It would give me time to escape.And after being dragged from a cab, str

    RuelleThe vehicle passed through a pair of tall iron gates and continued along a private road lined with carefully trimmed trees. Rain streaked the tinted windows, blurring my view of the estate until the mansion appeared through the gray curtain.It was enormous.The sprawling three-story structure was made of pale stone and dark glass, its sharp modern design softened only by the ivy climbing one wing. Men in dark uniforms guarded the entrance, some carrying guns while others relied on the far more dangerous weapons hidden beneath their skin, their wolves.The SUV stopped beneath the covered entrance. The werewolf who had captured me climbed out first, then dragged me after him by the arm.His fingers dug into my flesh through my damp blouse. I wanted to struggle, but I forced myself to remain still. Fighting him now would only waste what little strength I had left.I couldn’t outrun a werewolf in my current condition, especially with my hands tied and half the estate watching. My

    Ruelle“Wait,” I said, tightening my grip on the bag. “The man you’re looking for ran into the forest.”The man’s gaze dropped to the leather bag in my lap. That was all the evidence he needed. He seized my hair and dragged me out of the cab.Pain tore through my scalp as the ribbon came loose, sending my hair tumbling around my face. The paper bag of books fell from my knees and landed in a puddle.“Let go of me!” I grabbed his wrist, but he was far stronger. “I don’t know that man!”“You lying bitch.” His grip tightened. “You’re obviously working with that traitor.”“I’m not!”Another man stood beside the driver’s window, questioning him in a low voice. The frightened driver glanced at me before shaking his head.“I picked her up alone,” he said. “That boy forced his way into the cab. I don’t know anything else.”The werewolf questioning him looked toward the brute holding me. His gaze fell upon the bag before he gave a curt nod.Apparently, the driver’s explanation wasn’t enough.T

    RuelleFor the rest of the day, the only thing I could think about was what Pierce and I would discuss when he returned.‘I’ll miss you.’His words didn’t leave my mind the entire day. They surfaced while I helped Ren with his lunch, while I sat with him during his afternoon break, and again that night when I lay in bed staring at the ceiling.I hadn’t answered Pierce. I had been too stunned, and of course far too embarrassed, to form a proper response. Thankfully, he hadn’t pressed me for one. He had merely given me one last smile before leaving, as if my silence had told him enough.Arrogant beast.The following day, while Ren was occupied with his lessons, I decided to visit the central district. I needed a few books to fill my spare time, and more importantly, something capable of distracting me from the thoughts of Pierce.Before leaving, I asked Jenna if she needed anything. She was reluctant to send me on an errand, but after I insisted that I would already be passing through t
