MasukWhen Rose was just a newborn, a witch sacrifices her life to save her. Hidden beneath a powerful Alpha’s protection, Rose grew up shielded by a spell strong enough to keep her enemies at bay. But magic always demands a price, and protection is never permanent. When that protection begins to crack, so does the life she thought was safe. Cast out from the pack and stripped of everything she once belonged to, Rose moves to Westwood City and carves out a new existence. An ex-underground fighter, she now works under the protective eye of Lucas, a man who knows exactly what she is. In his biker bar, she finds a family. In the dark corners of the city, she becomes something else entirely, a feared bounty hunter. She doesn’t play nice and soon draws attention. Kaedyn Hakon, known only as Mr Midnight, rules the city from the shadows with quiet, ruthless control. He is a man whispered about, never seen, and feared by those who know better than to cross him. Lyon Ulrich, the brutal leader of the Road Wolves, rules through fear, fast violence, and a temper no one survives twice. Both men are dangerous, and both want to claim her. Rose is forced to confront who she truly is as the truth about her past begins to unravel. Because in a world where power is taken, not given, choosing the wrong side won’t just cost her everything. It will cost her who she is.

They’ve been hiding in it. Dave’s alive, but his leg is broken, and moving him wrong will make it worse.”Relief hit so hard my knees almost gave.“So he’s okay?” I breathed.Lyon didn’t answer fast enough.Arthur noticed too.“What aren’t you saying?” Arthur asked.Lyon looked from me to him, jaw tight. “From what they’ve managed to say,
My energy sparked beneath my skin, pushing out in little bursts that went nowhere. The thing behind me had my throat locked tight. Its arm was locked across my throat, hard enough to make every breath a struggle, and every time I tried to force power through my hands, the skinwalker adjusted its grip as if it could feel the energy building in me before I could let it loose. It had me imprisoned. Arthur had gone very still. The skinwalker’s foul breath brushed past my ear. “Stay where you are, old wolf,” it warned, its voice sliding between tones, never settling long enough to belong to anyone. “Or I will break her in two.” Arthur looked at me for half a second. “Please,” he said, his voice calm. “You don’t want her. Take me instead.” The creature gave a low laugh, which sounded wrong enough to crawl across my skin. “You offer yourself too quickly. She must be even more valuable than I thought.” “Arthur,” I forced out, but the skinwalker’s hold tightened and stole the rest of
“Remind me where we are going again?” Arthur called, his voice carrying easily over the engine.“Back to the crash site,” I shouted without slowing. “Hangman’s Bend. I wanna check it out for myself.”He didn’t hesitate, just swung onto his bike and kicked it to life, falling in beside me.I glanced over, something sharp and reckless rose in me.“Race you to the bend, old man. Let’s see if you still got it.”There was a flicker in his expression, not quite a smile.“I bet you still take corners too wide.”I looked over at him, grinning.“Just quit complaining and try to keep up.”I took off before he could answer, pushing the bike harder than I needed to, the engine roaring beneath me as the road stretched out ahead, narrow and dark, the trees pressing in on either side in a way that made the whole bend feel tighter than it should.The ride should have cleared my head, but it didn’t.Every thought circled back to the same place, to the same knot that refused to loosen no matter how I p
My eyes locked onto Luke the second he stepped through the door. Whatever he’d seen out there, whatever he’d found, it wasn’t good. “Rose, my office now,” he said as he walked past me. “Watch the bar, Hale,” I called over my shoulder, already moving. “What if the cops show up?” he asked, glancing up from the half-poured beer in his hand. Arthur was already sliding behind the bar like he’d been doing it his whole life. “I’ll handle the cops,” he said, his voice calm but carrying weight. “Just don’t start another fight; those patrons were still outside planning a coup.” “That wasn’t my fault,” I muttered, even as I followed Luke down the back hallway. The noise of the bar dulled behind us as he pushed the office door open. Once we were inside, I bombarded him with questions. “What happened?” I asked. “Did you find them?” Luke dragged a hand through his hair, pacing once before answering. “No sign of them,” he said. “Not a trace.” My stomach dropped, that hollow feeling settli
“Dad, I thought you were going to call before you came,” I said. My voice grew softer as I spoke, and I couldn’t help but smile.Arthur stood in the doorway. His broad shoulders filled the space, just his presence made it feel like home.“I was,” he said, his voice familiar in a way that reached st
Morning didn’t ease in so much as drag me into it, kicking and screaming, my mood already foul and demanding coffee before I could even begin to deal with the world.My shoulder throbbed where Bianca’s teeth had sunk into me, the dull pulse refusing to fade, and I couldn’t help thinking the bitch w
“How did you know I would be at the docks?” Rose asked, the thought catching up with her as they moved together beneath the low hum of music and candlelight.“I didn’t,” Kaelyn replied, his voice sure, unhurried. “The summit finished early, so I went to find you at Howl at the Moon. Ethan told me w
Kaelyn stepped forward, placing his hand on my back. My wolf wanted to leap for joy until I noted Bianca and the driver standing silently behind us.“Nikolas, on what authority do you think you can walk into Westwood and go after one of my own?”The inquisitor, she now knew, was called Nikolas, eye
