LILLIAN POV

The evening in the mansion sitting room was quiet and warm. A fire crackled in the fire place, which pushed back the cold air, making every where warm. Salome, Lydia, Willow, and I were curled on the sofas with mugs of herbal tea in our hands. For a moment, the world outside felt very far away.

Salome was telling us about her clash with Sharon in the pack house dining hall for the third time. Her cheeks were flushed, not with anger now, but with a kind of bewildered pride.

“….and the words just came out,” she said and gestured around with her hands. “I did not plan them. I did not even think. I saw her smirking at Lucas, saw how tired he was and something in me just….snapped. I called her a bottom-feeder. A scavenger.” She covered her face in her hands briefly. “By the Moon, I sounded so harsh.”

Lydia set her teacup down with a loud clink. “Harsh? Salome, you were nice. If it had been me, I would not have stopped at words. I would have beaten her until her own mother would

    LILLIAN POVLydia and I were in the mansion’s big kitchen. It was a quiet morning. I was stirring honey into my tea, while Lydia was slicing bread. The peace felt delicate, but real.Then, the kitchen door flew open.Salome burst in, with her eyes wide and bright, and with an excited smile on her face. She was practically skipping.Lydia and I stared at her. Then we looked at each other with shocked expressions on our faces. Salome was always so calm and steady. I had never seen her like this.“What is it?” I asked anxiously as I set down my spoon. “Did you win a prize.”Salome shook her head, still wearing that huge grin on her face. “Guess.”Lydia put down her knife on the table. “Did Lucas send you something special?”Salome laughed. “We are almost there! But not quite. Guess again!”“Did you find a lost puppy?” I tried, smiling at her joy.“No! Better!” She was practically bouncing in her heels.Lydia tapped her chin. “Did you get a promotion at work?”Salome waved a hand dismissi

    ANDRE POVI closed Drake’s chamber doors gently and turned towards Elara who was being led out through the corridors, even though she was walking steadily, her body was shook with shock and anger.“Take her downstairs. Straight to the car.”We had only gone a few steps when she suddenly pulled against the guards holding her, and turned her head towards me in anger. The hurt and shame of earlier had been burned away, leaving behind a cold glare.“You are a fool, Andre,” she spat out in a low venomous hiss.I stopped walking. The guards paused and looked at me for instructions.“Oh am I?” I asked flatly.“You do not see it,” she said with a nasty smile on her lips. “I was the only wall standing between Drake and that…that slimy little Doctor. The only thing keeping him from falling right back onto her pathetic arms. Now that I am gone, what do you think will happen? He will lean on her again. He will look for her. And where will that leave you, Beta? Pushed aside once more, watching you

    DRAKE POVI was in a deep, dreamless sleep, which was my first good rest in my own bed for a long time. The mountain’s peace was still in my bones.Then, the silence broke.My doors burst open suddenly with a loud bang.I was on my feet in a flash, with my wolf rising to the surface. Elara stood in the doorway, shaking violently with anger. Her hair was wild, while her night dress was messy.“You!” She screamed and stormed into the room. “You came back in the night and think you can throw me out like thrash?”I was filled with rage. “How dare you come into my room?” I growled angrily. “GUARDS!”Two guards ran in, with a pale look on their faces and knelt down.“Alpha, we are sorry!” One said. “She ran past us! We yelled for her to stop, but we could not touch her. She is guest and your—” he stopped. “My what?” I demanded.“Your mate!” Elara screamed at the guards. “You hear him! He wants you to hurt his mate! Is this your pack’s honor?”Andre came in behind them, breathing heavily as

    ANDRE POVThe meeting room was tense. Lucas, Beta Ben, and five other senior pack members sat around the table with me. A large map was spread out, marked with red circles on the eastern border.“The sightings are getting closer,” Beta Ben said, pointing at the map. “Two more last night, just outside our patrol line. They are not attacking, they are just watching. It is like they are testing our defenses.Lucas leaned forward, with grim expression on his face. “We are stretched thin. With the Alpha gone, our usual strength is split to guard the pack house and the council. The rogues know something is off.”I rubbed my temples. The council’s constant questions, Lillian’s quiet sadness, and now this security threat were a heavy weight. “We need to pull guards from the north sector. It has been quiet there. Move them east for the next week. Rotate them in shifts so no one gets too tired.”There were nods around the table. We spent the next hour planning the rotations. My mind was on half

    DRAKE POVThe dawn air at Snow Ridge was sharp and clean, which smelt like pine and cold stone. I stood outside the stronghold, my small pack slug over my shoulder. I was ready.The heavy wooden door creaked open, and Alpha Jon stepped out, joining me on the wide stone steps. He crossed his arms, and breathed out heavily. “So. The wandering Alpha returns to his throne,” he said with a faint smile on his weathered face. “Do you want the ceremonial send-off? I can have your travel travel team ready in an hour. Horse, carriage, the whole show. It is what is expected.”I looked past him, past the courtyard walls, to the endless, wild forest that stretched all the way back to Luxembourg. The treetops were painted gold by the rising sun. The call of the wild was a physical pull in my chest.“No,” I said, turning my gaze back to him. “No entourage. I will run back.”Jon’s smile widened into a grin. “Good. That is the Geo I hunted with talking. The forest will clear your head betrer than any
