He had her tied up outside the mansion. For two days after their return, after five gravestones were dug and their dead buried, Thora remained outside.
She was there when a heavy thunderstorm raged and the rain battered her. She was still there when the sun glared down, blisteringly hot. It wasn’t just about her escape attempt and the need to satiate his grieving pack for the losses they had suffered.
It was also about using her to show everyone

Thora POVMatilda did not ask questions. That was the first thing Thora noticed when she hobbled through the door of the pack witch's quarters that morning.There were no narrowed eyes, no comment about the state of Thora's hair or the fact that she was moving like someone who had been thrown down a flight of stairs repeatedly and asked to sign a waiver about it afterward.There was simply a cup on the table. Steam curled out of it and it smelt of something faintly sweet."The brew is for you. Swallow every drop." Matilda said without turning from her workbench.Thora's cheeks went pink immediately. Her brain, which was still warm from the hours before dawn, chose that exact moment to supply her with a very specific memory of another thing she had swallowed recently in the dark.With considerably less dignity than she was currently attempting to project, she picked up the cup and drank it in silence. She was deeply grateful that Matilda's back remained turned the entire time.By the t

Roman POVFor a moment after the bedroom door shut behind them, they simply stared at each other, breathing hard.Then Roman reached for her. His mouth found hers slowly this time, not like the desperate collision they'd shared in the hallway.His hands settled around her waist, pulling her against him as his lips moved over hers. Thora shivered beneath his palms."Roman..."He kissed her again. Her fingers curled into his shirt, tugging him closer.He could have taken her right then. But after everything they'd been through to get here, he wanted to savor the moment.His hands moved slowly along her back, tracing the curve of her waist. His lips traveled down her neck. Her breath caught when he kissed the sensitive spot behind her ear."You're trembling," He murmured."Because you're taking forever."He chuckled softly. "Patience, Thora.""I don't want patience."Her hands pushed beneath his shirt, fingertips brushing his chest. “It’ll be dawn soon. We don’t have time for foreplay.”

Thora POVThora paused while wringing out a cloth she'd used to clean cuts. It had nothing to do with Sela's wish.Murmurs rippled through the crowd, loudest from the Valcourt gallery. The omega had just asked for her alpha, Kade Braylon, to be allowed to compete in the Culling.But Thora's ears had caught something else entirely."What did you say?" She turned to face the gamma from Black Forge that had lost to Sela. The one whom she'd bandaged less than an hour ago. The one she'd only met the night before.He stood with his hands clasped behind his back. "I said I was going to ask Elder Morpheus to grant you safe return home. That was going to be my wish if I’d won."Her grip tightened on the linen. "Why would you waste your wish on me?""Waste?" He smiled warmly. "I wouldn't call it that. Truth is, I'm the product of a werewolf and a human marriage."Something shifted behind his eyes. "You remind me of my mother. She used to be in the same predicament as you. An innocent human, tra

Roman POVThe forest had never felt more alive.From the elevated ridge where the Valcourt pack had constructed the ceremonial platform, Roman could see all of it.Eight packs assembled across the natural amphitheater carved into the hillside over weeks of preparation.The forest floor below had been transformed into something that looked ancient and enormous. Tiered viewing galleries had been cut into the slope using the natural rock formations, draped in the colors of each attending pack.The Valcourt black and silver ran the highest line. Below it, in descending order of regional standing, the banners of seven visiting packs caught the morning wind.He had been to one Culling ceremony as a competitor. He had never stood at the podium as host before.He adjusted his jacket and looked out.The seating arrangements followed Lycan law precisely. The Supreme Council's observer, Elder Morpheus, sat at the center of the judges' table. The grey-eyed man of eighty had witnessed more Culling

Thora POVHer hands trembled when she reached for the knob and yanked open the door to Roman's study.She regretted it the instant she did. Roman looked up from a spread of papers, startled to see her standing there.So did Dax, Regan, and a cluster of elders gathered around the alpha's desk. Their faces displayed a mix of emotions, starting from surprise, confusion, and finally open annoyance.Dax moved first, stepping into her path. "How dare you walk into the alpha's study uninvited?"Elder Darryl's eyes narrowed. Thora caught the quick, loaded glance he threw toward Elder Vance before either of them said a word."That's enough, Dax. She has my permission."Roman ignored the uneasy looks passing around the room. "Thora, this isn't a good time. Please, see Matilda if you need anything."She held his gaze a moment longer, tears burning at the back of her eyes. Then, she turned and retreated.His voice s

Thora POVShe didn't remember tearing through the corridor that led from the alpha's wing to the main halls.Somewhere along the way, something slipped from her shoulders. She only noticed when the cold bit into her skin, that her blanket was gone.She stopped running once she reached the courtyard and sniffled. She couldn't cry here, not with the place packed with people.The night pulsed with drumbeats and cheerful laughter. The air was thick with woodsmoke and the sweet, sharp scent of spring.Thora sucked in a breath and wrapped her arms around herself. She shouldn't be out here.That had been the one rule from Roman. With the mansion crawling with wolves from packs she'd never met, she was safer being out of sight.She hadn't meant to break the rule. She'd only wanted to see him.The marking sickness always turned vicious after dark. Her skin had felt too tight for hours, heat pooling between her legs no m
