last update publish date: 2026-08-29 12:00:30

Roman POV

Roman was seated in the private office of the alpha of Black Forge Pack. The elegant décor could easily pass for any of the many posh human offices he had been in inside the city. There was even a fish tank!

Black Forge pack was a liberal one. Unlike the other seven packs in the region, Black Forge didn't detest the human race.

They agreed werewolves were superior, but the pack had consciously learned to co-exist and interact respectfully with h

    Roman POVRoman took his first fiery sip of the old wine, letting his eyes settle on Kade with unwavering steel as the warmth spread through his chest."The matter of my divorce is a private one, Alpha Kade. It will be decided between my wife and myself. Everyone else will hear the verdict after it's done."His hand closed over Thora's possessively, before his eyes slid to hers with a small, reassuring smile. Warmth bloomed in his chest when relief washed over her face instead of excruciating disappointment.For the longest time, she'd held him to his promise of setting her free. And once upon a time, that was all he'd wanted too; to end their marriage before it ever truly began.But that was before he stopped fighting their bond and let himself embrace it. Before he understood she wasn't a punishment at all, but the best sentence a man in his position could ever hope for.Now, he only hoped she'd be willing to give them a real chance. Not just as alpha and human Luna, but as mates. I

    Thora POV"Lady Serena?" Thora called softly, cracking the door open. "You asked to see me?"Serena looked up from her vanity table. Despite the early hour, she was already put together with glossy lips, and flawless skin.Her body was wrapped in a buttery yellow gown that draped over her like it had been poured on. A handful of attending omegas moved around the room, half-cleaning, half-watching."Yes, Thora." Serena rose with a warm smile, hands clasped elegantly in front of her."I wanted to commend your bravery yesterday. While the rest of us were caught up in the tension of the challenge, you were level-headed enough to look out for both alphas. That took real courage."Thora shrugged. "I was only doing my duty, my lady."One of the omegas snorted, then quickly dropped her gaze when Serena shot her a warning look."Ignore Ayana. She and a few others are convinced you did it to curry the alpha's favor."

    Roman POV"Ember root." Regan sniffed the air outside the study. "Whoever stood here used it to mask their scent, layering it under every other scent trail that's crossed this hallway in the last two hours."Roman's jaw tightened. "Then it's your job to sift through all of them until you find the one that doesn't belong. Report to me the moment you do."He turned sharply to the doctor. "For your own sake, make sure your research is untraceable. Destroy anything that could point back to the details or to Thora.""Already done, Alpha. I took precautions from the start. No one outside the three of us has ever had access to my findings."Roman nodded, a small measure of relief loosening his shoulders."What do we do?" Regan asked. "Someone could have heard everything.""No, they didn't." Roman scrubbed a hand down his face. "Even with enhanced hearing, listening in on sensitive conversations held inside my office takes a

    Roman POVHer scent had led him straight to the archive. Though faint, it was unmistakable beneath the musty layers of old paper and dust.His first instinct had been to follow it, to corner her among the shelves and demand answers before the questions ate him alive.But he held back instead. It would be better to ask her directly when she returned, without an audience and without the added strain of catching her somewhere she might feel cornered enough to lie.He hated how loud the doubt was tonight.She said she needed to read the pack law books. That's all it could be, right?He tried to bury the suspicion by giving her grace.Thora had every right to feel like an outsider in his pack, given how thoroughly his people had made sure she never felt anything else.If their positions were reversed, if he were the one scrubbing floors for humans who spat at the sight of him and found his existence contemp

    Thora POVHer heart hadn't fully settled since the challenge at the courtyard. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw it again.She saw Roman transforming mid-stride, bones cracking and fur erupting all over his skin, until the man she'd been falling for stood replaced by something massive and terrifying.And it all happened in the span of one breath.She'd been surrounded by wolves for months now, had been chased by them, threatened by them, forced to live among them.But watching Roman shift, knowing exactly how much her heart had come to ache for him, hit different.One moment, he was a man with tired eyes and an apology on his lips while he craved her in his bedroom. The next, an animal capable of tearing Devlin apart. She wasn't sure her nerves would ever fully recover.And yet, underneath the fear and the disorientation, one thing stayed constant; her feelings for him hadn't wavered.If anything, they'd

    Roman POVPain exploded across Roman’s cheek as Devlin's claws raked down a line from his temple to jaw.Blood welled instantly, dripping warm down his neck. Roman staggered back a step. Yet, he refused to let the sting show on his face or to show the crowd anything but steel.“Shift, Roman.” Axel's voice was sharp as he paced hard at the edge of his mind. “We still have enough energy from our mate to fight Devlin properly. Let me out. We can end this faster in wolf form.”“No.” Roman replied while ducking a swipe, and countering with the flat of his forearm. “If I don’t feel we’re strong enough to shift, then we are not. If we shift now, everyone will hear the weakness in our howl. They'll see it in how slow we move too. I am more confident in my fighting skills to get us through this. It’s better to lose ground as a man than show weakness as a wolf in this challenge.”He heard the low and confused murmur ripplin
