I settled deeper into my lawn chair near the fire, pulling the hoodie tighter against the chill. Takoda sat right beside me, one heavy boot stretched toward the fire logs and his forearms resting loosely across his knees. He was watching the perimeter, but his shoulders lacked their usual rigid armor.

Rowan noticed the physical shift, too. He studied Takoda over the heat of the rising smoke for several seconds, his expression hardening into something serious before he spoke into the quiet. “Yo

    ~Takoda~Grandma Dawson closed the front door behind me. The latch settled with a quiet click, barely loud enough to matter, yet the sound moved through the old house like a lock turning somewhere deeper than wood and brass.Warm air pressed against the cold clinging to my jacket. Coffee sat on the table and the odor of bacon grease lingered within the kitchen, as well that of burnt toast, old pine floors, and cinnamon. Beneath it all was the scent of the four Dawson women who had spent generations living in a house built over secrets.Analiese stood a few feet away from me in the front hall. I didn't look at her immediately, which was a mistake. Not looking at her had become a separate kind of attention, one that sharpened everything else. The shift of her sleeve over the rope burns, the way she held her right arm too close to her body, and the faint hitch in her breathing when I stepped past the threshold, were all impossible to ignore. My wolf noticed all of it, and so did I.Grand

    Morning found me long before sleep ever did.Gray light filtered through the bedroom curtains, turning the ceiling into a pale wash of winter shadows. I lay still for another minute, listening to the old house settle around me. A pipe groaned somewhere inside the wall. Floorboards creaked downstairs. Then the unmistakable hiss of bacon reached my room.I pushed the blankets aside and sat up slowly, my jaw tightening as every muscle protested the movement. The bruise beneath my cheekbone had darkened overnight. The cut near my temple pulled when I frowned. I reached for the sleeve of my sweatshirt and rolled it back just enough to study my wrist under the pale light. I could see the rope burns circling my skin in angry red bands.Tugging the fabric back into place, I covered the marks.Minutes later, as I crossed the room, the mirror above my dresser caught my reflection. Feet stilling, I gazed at my reflection for several seconds, simply looking at my face in the glass. I didn't look

    AnalieseHours had passed since I’d heard the stranger's voice, but sleep still wasn't happening. I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling for what felt like the thousandth time. The digital clock beside my bed glowed 3:42 a.m. in bright red numbers.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the cabin, the ropes,, and the stranger’s voice beyond the darkness. And Takoda. Especially Takoda.My stomach immediately tightened, though it wasn’t because of the rescue, because he'd tracked me through the woods, or because he'd kicked a cabin door off its hinges, although all of those things deserved some attention. No, my brain had apparently decided to focus on the fact that the man had shifted out of wolf form and burst into the cabin completely naked.W

    The scent grew stronger, and for the first time since Harmony's words shattered the festival, I knew I wasn't chasing shadows.I could smell Analiese. I could smell her fear, the snow, and pine tangled together. Following the trail that cut through the forest ahead of me, my paws moved across the frozen ground as branches whipped past and snow exploded beneath me. The cold air burned through my lungs, but none of it mattered…only the scent mattered…only finding her mattered.My wolf surged, snarling, Find her. The command echoed through every part of me.The trail moved deeper into the woods where the trees crowded closer together; they were older and thicker, and the moonlight barely reache

    Elias's jaw tightened. "Takoda."I looked at him. Every muscle in my body had gone rigid. "What?" The word came out rough enough to scrape.Elias held my gaze. "You think before you act."No, not tonight. Maybe not ever again where Analiese was concerned. The ugly part was that he knew it, too. My wolf surged. Find her. Nothing else mattered, not the pack, not the festival, and not the north. Only her.Elias stepped closer. "Listen to me."The crowd moved around us. People laughed. Christmas music drifted through the square, and children chased one another through the slush beneath the giant pine. The sounds reached me dimly, as if they belonged to another town

    My wolf stirred. Go.For once, I agreed. Without another word, I turned away from the tree and headed back toward town."Takoda!" Elias called after me. I didn't stop. "Takoda!"I still didn't stop. The urgency building inside me refused to ease. Every instinct I possessed felt stretched too tight, like a wire pulled to the breaking point. The residential blocks blurred beneath my boots as the music grew louder, followed by the rising sound of voices, laughter, crowds, and lights. It was normal. Everything still looked completely normal. Then I stepped into the square, and my pace slowed immediately.Harmony stood beside the ornament booth. She was alone. There was no Analiese, no sarcastic comment

    The howl faded into the distance, but the sound lingered anyway. It settled over the yard like a living thing, threading through the falling snow and disappearing into the dark trees beyond the property line.Harmony didn't move. Neither did I. For the first time since I'd known her, she wasn't tal

    The drive back down the mountain road passed significantly easier than the tense drive up; it felt comfortable. It wasn't because we talked the entire time, but because we didn't need to force words into the space anymore. The truck heater hummed softly between our seats while the snow-covered pine

    Family. The specific word caught my attention immediately, cutting through my sheer embarrassment. I looked closely between their two massive frames, comparing the lines of their builds. The visual resemblance hadn't been obvious at first glance because Jace carried himself with a loose, reckless e

    The stranger stopped a few feet away from the wooden posts. Snow crunched loudly beneath his heavy winter boots while the cold mountain wind moved through the open space, whipping up a fine white powder that swirled between us. For a heavy moment, nobody spoke a single word. The man looked at me, t
