TO LOVE A WOLF War Council
There was an urgent knock when Clara woke up.Her injured shoulder protested as she sat up too quickly. The window let in gray morning light. Ash was already at the door. "What is it?" he inquired. One of the younger wolves said through the door, "Ronan called a war council." "Everyone. "Now."Clara hastily put on her clothes, grimacing when her shirt tugged at the seams. The majority of the damage had been repaired by the pendant overnight, but some discomfort persisted.When they got there, the council building was crowded.Not just wolves. Marcus was there with Vera and three other creatures from the deep places. Dr. Wells represented the town. Even Mara had been invited. Ronan stood at the head of the table, a map spread before him."We have three days before Lydia gathers her forces. That gives us a narrow window to act." "Act how?" Marcus asked. "We do not know her numbers. Do not know her full plan." "Which is why we need to scout," Ronan said.He pointed to the map. "The old r
TO LOVE A WOLF Following the Trail
The forest was quiet in the early morning.The stillness hung in the air—almost too quiet.Clara and Mara made their way into the trees, following the weak trail David had left behind. Though he had acted with caution, his tracks were still evident—just visible enough for them to trace.Broken branches, disturbed earth—places where the scent of wolf still lingers."How long until they notice we are gone?" Mara asked quietly."Couple hours. Maybe less if Ash wakes up early.""He is going to be furious." Mara glanced at Clara, who only nodded. "I am aware."For a while, they strolled silently, following the trail northeast, away from the village and the Hollow. Few dared to venture so far into the wilderness.An hour later, Mara spoke once more. "Can I ask you something?" Clara nodded. "Always." Mara hesitated. "Have you ever regretted it?"The transformation. Becoming what you are."Clara thought about that. "Sometimes. When I look in the mirror and do not recognize myself. When people
TO LOVE A WOLF The Informant
At dawn, Clara found Marcus.He stood at the Hollow's edge, gazing into the forest as if he could see behind the trees to whatever dangers might be there. Clara said, "I need to talk to you.""About the hunt?""About Kain. About how Lydia always seems to know where we are."Marcus turned to face her. "You think we have a spy.""I know we do. The question is who.""That is a dangerous accusation.""It's the only thing that fits. Lydia knew exactly where to find us yesterday, our route, everything. Someone told her.""Or someone followed us.""For hours without us noticing? You would have sensed that."Marcus considered this. "What are you proposing?""I want to talk to Kain. Face to face. Find out who helped him escape.""He will not tell you anything.""He might. If I offer him something he wants."Marcus's eyes narrowed. "Like what?""Freedom. A deal. Let him go and he tells us who the traitor is.""No. Kain is dangerous. Letting him go is suicide.""Locking him up isn't working. Som
TO LOVE A WOLF The Hunt Begins
Clara was awake before daybreak.She dressed in silence, careful not to wake Ash. When she reached for her jacket, his fingers closed around her wrist. "Where are you heading?""To start hunting.""Now? The sun is not even up.""That is when creatures move. Before light. When they think no one is watching," Clara said.Ash sat up. "I am coming with you.""You need to rest. Your wounds—""Are healed enough," Ash insisted. He stood, reaching for his own clothes. "We do this together. Remember?"Clara wanted to argue, but in truth, she did not want to go alone.They met Marcus and two other wolves at the edge of the Hollow. Thomas's younger brother, David. And a woman named Lynn, who had survived the mill battle."Where do we start?" David asked.Clara closed her eyes. Reached out with her senses. The pendant heightened her awareness, enabling her to detect disturbances in the forest's natural flow.There, in the northwest—a presence that did not belong."This way," she said.They walked
TO LOVE A WOLF The Price of Peace
Three days after the battle, the town called another meeting.Clara almost did not go. But Ronan insisted."They need to see you," he said. "Need to hear from you directly. Otherwise fear fills the silence."So Clara walked into town with Ash and Ronan flanking her. The church was half-empty this time. Many people had stayed away. Those who came looked scared.Mayor Hendricks stood at the front. She looked older. Tired. "Miss Reyes. Thank you for coming."Clara nodded.Hendricks addressed the crowd. "We are here to discuss what happened at the mill. To understand how five of our people died.""Six," someone called from the back. "Patricia Santos died this morning."Hendricks closed her eyes briefly. "Six. Six of our people."Sheriff Briggs stood. "We have statements from survivors. They say creatures attacked. That Miss Reyes was there. Fighting them.""I was," Clara said."Why?" Hendricks asked. "Why were you at the mill at all? The meeting was supposed to be peaceful."Clara took a
TO LOVE A WOLF Aftermath
The scent of blood and flames greeted the morning.When Clara awoke, Ash had already left. Her body resisted every motion as she slowly sat up. The majority of her wounds had healed by the pendant, but fatigue had seeped into her bones.She heard voices outside.Low and somber.She dressed and stepped outside, blinking against daylight that felt too bright after all that had happened.Outside, the Hollow was transformed. Everywhere she looked, people worked in grim silence: building pyres for the dead, tending wounds that would not heal cleanly, comforting children who had lost parents.Clara found Ronan near the council building. He looked older. As if he had aged ten years overnight."How many?""Three pack dead. Nine wounded. Five civilians dead. Three more likely won't make it. And that's just us. We killed at least fifteen creatures, maybe more in the mill collapse."Clara felt the numbers land. "The dead civilians—do we know them?"Ronan handed her a piece of paper. Names writte
