I didn't sleep that night. I sat by my window watching the darkness slowly give way to dawn. My decision was made. I had to leave. I had to find Lars before anyone else got hurt because of me.

When the first rays of sunlight touched the manor walls, I stood up and began packing my few belongings into a small bag. I didn't have much. A spare dress. The boots Carlos had bought me in another town. A few coins.

I needed two things before I could leave. A map to find Everdell Ridge. And the book about ivory wolves that Arlene had shown me.

I found Arlene in the gardens. She was sitting on a stone bench, staring at the morning flowers. Her face was calm, peaceful even. So different from the wild madness I had seen the night before.

"I need your help," I said, approaching her slowly.

She looked up at me. Her silver eyes were clear and steady. "You're leaving."

"Yes."

"To find Lars."

I nodded. "I need a map to Everdell Ridge. And the book you showed me last night."

Arlene stood up without a w

  • THE ALPHA'S BETRAYAL   Chapter 140

    Amelia’s breath still came in shallow, uneven gasps as Carlos lowered her onto the bed. The weight of what he had just told her — that her body had been found by the creeks, that she had been missing for a month — pressed on her chest like a boulder. She gripped the sheets, trying to ground herself, but the room tilted anyway. Carlos stayed crouched by her side, watching her like a predator ready to pounce if she so much as faltered again. His hands were warm against her arms, steadying her, but the heat between them had nothing to do with comfort. “You’re burning up,” he murmured, his voice low and rough as if he were speaking to himself. “I’m fine,” she whispered back, though it sounded like a lie even to her own ears. Carlos’s lips pressed into a thin line. “You’re not fine. You’ve been starved, beaten, left for dead. You’re shaking like a leaf, and—” “And what?” she challenged, forcing herself to look up at him. His golden eyes were molten, unreadable. The tension betw

    Blood Moon RisingChapter One: The InheritanceThe letter arrived on a Tuesday, three weeks after my father's funeral. I'd been expecting lawyers, paperwork, maybe a modest inheritance—Dad had never been wealthy, but he'd been careful with money. What I wasn't expecting was a key taped to thick parchment, and a single line written in his shaking handwriting: Come home to Millbrook before the next full moon. Your life depends on it.My name is Sara Blackwood, and I thought I knew everything about my father. He was a high school history teacher who loved crossword puzzles and terrible dad jokes. He'd raised me alone after Mom died when I was six, and he'd done it well. We were close. Or so I believed.But this letter, with its cryptic warning and antique key, suggested I'd known nothing at all.Millbrook was a place from my childhood—a tiny mountain town in northern Maine where Dad grew up. We'd visited my grandmother there a few times before she passed, but I hadn't been back in fiftee

    The forest still smelled of blood when we returned to the main house. My legs felt like they would give out at any second, but I forced them to keep moving. Carlos walked ahead of me, his shoulders stiff, his back marked with streaks of blood — some dried, some still fresh. He hadn’t spoken a word since the fight. The silence between us was thick, heavier than anything we’d faced in the woods. When we reached the house, the guards flanking the door stepped aside instantly. Carlos didn’t look at them. Inside, the great room buzzed with tense murmurs. Someone had already started patching up the wounded, the scent of herbs mixing with the sharp tang of blood. Carlos turned to one of the guards. “Get my father.” The guard bolted. I hovered near the doorway, not sure what to do with myself. Carlos finally turned toward me, his golden eyes cutting through me like sunlight through smoke. “You were reckless,” he said. My mouth went dry. “I—” “You nearly got yourself kill

    The house didn’t feel safe anymore. Not after the way Lars’s voice had cut through the air like a blade. Amelia sat on the edge of the bed long after Carlos left, her body trembling even though the night air was warm. Her wolf was restless, pacing inside her chest, straining toward the bond. She hated it. Hated that a single growl from Lars could undo her like this. He had thrown her off a cliff. He had chosen to break her. And still her heart raced at the memory of his scent filling the hallway. The door creaked open, and she flinched — but it was only one of Carlos’s guards, stepping inside long enough to set down a tray of food. “You need to eat,” he said gruffly before stepping back out and locking the door again. Her stomach churned. The sight of food made her throat ache. Still, she forced herself to pick up a piece of bread and chew. If Carlos was right — if Lars really was coming back — she needed strength. The door opened again some time later. This time it

    I arrived at the mill early, wanting to scope out the area before Kit showed up. The building felt different at night—more ominous, the shadows deeper and more menacing. My wolf stirred uneasily, sensing something I couldn't quite identify. Not danger exactly, but potential. Like the air before a lightning strike.Kit appeared at exactly eight, slipping through the door with the nervous energy of someone doing something they knew they shouldn't. He was still so young—only eighteen, barely two years into his transformation. Marcus had told me he'd been bitten by a rogue passing through town, left to die until the pack found him and helped him through his first change."Sara," he said, slightly breathless. "What's going on? Are you okay? Marcus has been weird all day, like something's wrong but he won't say what.""I'm fine. I just needed to talk to someone who might give me a straight answer." I gestured for him to sit on one of the old crates scattered around. "How much do you know ab
