ETHAN'S POV

The moment the pathogen left me, the world snapped into brutal clarity.

Air burned into my lungs. My heart slammed hard enough to hurt. My wolf surged up inside my skin like a tide released from a dam, furious and alive and starving for purpose. I felt strong again, whole again, and the first thing that strength showed me was the truth I did not want to face.

Kaye was dying.

The bond did not whisper it. It screamed it.

Her presence, which had always been there like a steady flame at the center of my chest, was fading fast. It flickered, dimmed, thinned into something fragile and weak. I gathered her against me, arms locking around her body as if holding her tighter could force life back into her veins.

She was cold.

Her skin felt wrong under my hands. Her breathing had slowed to nothing. Her silver veins were dull now, barely visible, as if the light had drained out of her completely.

“No,” I said, though the word came out broken and useless. “No. You are not done. You do

  • THE ALPHA’S GHOST   CHAPTER 69

    KAYE'S POVEvery moment of my life led to this choice.Do I surrender to Jon Tulip and save the lives of my pack? Or do I let Vanessa’s device activate and kill 120 infected wolves, those trapped in bodies they couldn’t control, their minds screaming inside their own skin?The weight of it crushed me.I could feel Ethan’s desperation through the bond, his frantic pleas echoing through my chest. His voice was raw, pleading with me not to give in, not to make this decision, to fight and find another way. He loved me, and he needed me. I could feel it, deep in my bones, even as my own heart ached with the weight of the choice I had to make.But I couldn’t watch innocent wolves die.I couldn’t.The pack had already lost so much. And Jon Tulip’s plan was built on breaking us, on turning us against each other. I wasn’t about to be the one who let that happen, no matter what it cost me.“I will go,” I whispered, the words trembling in the bond.Ethan’s pain and fury surged, slamming into me,

  • THE ALPHA’S GHOST   CHAPTER 68

    ETHAN'S POVThe wound would not close.I could feel it clearly now, past the noise of battle and the roar of my wolf. The silver blade had left more than torn flesh behind. Whatever Lucas drove into my side burned as it spread, a cold poison threading through my veins with purpose. It was not random. It was designed. Built to hunt Alphas, to tear down the strength that usually kept us standing when others fell.My knees buckled.I caught myself before I went down, teeth clenched hard enough to ache. Blood soaked my side, warm and slick beneath my hand, the scent sharp and metallic. My wolf snarled, furious and weakening at the same time.Through the mate bond, Kaye felt it.Her presence wrapped around me instantly, fierce and focused. Healing energy surged into my body, bright and steady, the same force I had poured into her when she died in my arms. It flowed through the bond like light through a cracked wall, pushing back against the poison inch by inch.It was working.But it was s

  • THE ALPHA’S GHOST   CHAPTER 67

    KAYE'S POVThe pain hit me before I saw him.It tore through the mate bond so sudden. Ethan’s breath caught in my chest. His agony burned along my nerves, stealing my balance, stealing my focus. For one terrifying heartbeat, I could not tell where his pain ended and mine began.Ethan.I turned and ran.I did not think. I did not plan. I abandoned the fight in front of me without hesitation, trusting the Veilkeepers and the allied wolves to hold the line. My body moved faster than fear, faster than logic. The silver veins surged, carrying me through smoke and fire and screaming wolves like the ground itself was pulling me forward.I saw him then.Ethan was on his feet but barely, one hand pressed hard against his side, blood dark and slick beneath his fingers. His face was tight with control, jaw clenched as he forced himself to stay upright. Across from him stood Lucas, blade in hand, posture calm and deadly.Lucas raised the weapon again.“No,” I shouted.I slammed into him from the

  • THE ALPHA’S GHOST   CHAPTER 66

    ETHAN'S POVThe world broke apart all at once.Firelight, steel, and bodies collided in a roar that swallowed the clearing. The Veilkeeper operatives moved first, precise and fast, cutting straight into the transformed wolves with weapons that hummed and pulsed instead of flashing. When those weapons struck, the silver eyed wolves staggered, movements stuttering like a signal had been interrupted. Some dropped to their knees, clutching their heads as if something inside them had gone suddenly silent.The allied packs hit from the sides like crashing waves.Howls rose from every direction. Wolves I had not seen in years fought shoulder to shoulder with Blackwater, teeth and claws flashing, tactics sharp and disciplined. The pressure around us loosened enough for my pack to breathe again. Fighters pulled back toward the center, reforming lines, protecting elders and children who were being rushed toward hidden exits.I moved without thinking, my body answering instinct and training toge

  • THE ALPHA’S GHOST   CHAPTER 65

    KAYE'S POVThe hands on my arms were shaking.That was the first thing I noticed once the shock faded enough for the world to sharpen again. The wolves holding me were not strong enforcers or hardened fighters. They were familiar faces. Wolves I had cooked beside in the kitchen. Wolves whose clothes I had folded in the laundry room. Wolves who had looked away when others were cruel but had never raised a hand themselves.Their fingers dug into my sleeves like they were afraid I might disappear.“I am sorry,” one of them whispered, his voice breaking. “I have a mate. I have pups.”Another could not even look at me. Tears streaked down his face as he tightened his grip, jaw clenched so hard I thought his teeth might crack. “We just want to live.”There was no hatred in their eyes.Only terror.Through the mate bond, Ethan’s rage hit like a shockwave. It rose fast and violent, his wolf slamming against his control with a fury that burned hot and wild. I felt his instinct scream to tear t

  • THE ALPHA’S GHOST   CHAPTER 64

    ETHAN'S POVThey came out of the trees like a machine waking up.The transformed wolves did not rush. They did not snarl or howl. They stepped forward in rows, spreading into the clearing with cold precision, each movement measured and deliberate. Their silver eyes reflected the candlelight like polished metal, unblinking and focused. I counted automatically, a habit drilled into me by years of leadership and war.One hundred.Then more.Then far more than I wanted to see.At least two hundred.Vanessa had said a little over a hundred. She had undersold it by half. The realization settled into my chest like a stone. We were surrounded completely, the forest now a wall of bodies that cut off every path. Forty fighters against an army built to overwhelm.Through the mate bond, I felt Kaye feel it too.Her fear did not spike. It transformed.Resolve hardened inside her, sharp and unyielding, like steel being quenched in fire. The silver veins beneath her skin pulsed steadily, not flaring
