I sank into the steaming water, my pale skin burning bright red, but the frost clinging to my bones from the Moonkeep pool refused to thaw.

My wolf was whimpering inside my chest, her spirit bruised and battered after being dragged into the open, publicly humiliated, and discarded like common trash by the Lycan Matriarch.

I leaned my head back against the edge of the porcelain tub, staring up at the carved stone ceiling of our private suite inside Moonshade Manor.

I closed my eyes for just a se

    "Let Lady Gwyneth use my space if she desires it so badly, seeing as her aging face requires double the dark magic to conceal those creeping wrinkles," Tanis Moonshade sneered, her golden eyes flashing with raw wolfish spite as she adjusted her silk tunic.I adjusted my grip on my silver styling shears, stepping instinctively between Tanis and the towering female warrior who was marching directly toward us, her claws already half-extended from her dark leather gauntlets."Tanis Moonshade!" Gwyneth Lawson roared, her voice echoing off the stone walls of the Mooncrest Artisan Guild as her dangerous, high-ranking warrior aura flared, making the lower-ranking apprentices in the pavilion drop their tools in terror. "You impudent little pup! You think because Marius Bloodfang favors your production line, you can throw mud at my bloodline?""Marius Bloodfang specifically contracted Selene Corvinus to be my personal master artisan for this ceremonial shoot," Tanis count

    The silver wolf-head pendant around Marius Bloodfang's neck swung rhythmically as he stepped away, his hot, cedar-scented breath still warm against my ear.My heart hammered a frantic rhythm against my ribs, skin prickling with electric heat. "I can hear your demands without you crowding my space, Marius," I snapped, stepping back so my spine hit the cold stone door frame of the transport. "Honestly, you look for every excuse to provoke a reaction."Marius chuckled softly, his dark eyes glittering with wicked amusement. "I have charmed half the highborn females in the Darkmoon Territory, Selene, but you react like I am a rogue trying to tear your throat out. I will certainly remember this.""You should remember that you are engaged to Renee Olson of the Northern Packs," I said, glaring at him as my claws threatened to press through my skin. "Show some restraint. Is this how an Alpha candidate of the Bloodfang line conducts himself?"Marius’s smirk f

    The grand hall of the Silverfang Banquet House was suffocatingly warm, filled with the overwhelming scent of lunar wine and old wolf bloodlines.Amelia Lycan stood near the main archway, wearing the custom-sewn midnight-blue dress adorned with glowing, lifelike jasmine flowers that seemed to bloom right across the fabric. Her makeup was sharp, her golden-skinned neck long, and her posture strictly refined. She had spent decades maintaining her youthful skin, looking far younger than any other matriarch in the Darkmoon Territory.Viktor Lycan stepped back toward her, his dark eyes locking onto the gown. "Amelia, you look magnificent tonight. That dress... it smells of real jasmine."He drew closer, inhaling the faint, intoxicating scent. He had always favored the flower, and the sight of her brought a rare, approving gleam to his eyes.Standing right beside Viktor was Eve Moonfang, his secondary female. Though she was dressed in rich, sweeping silks, her p

    Marius Bloodfang’s thin black shirt hugged his chest, the silver wolf-head pendants hanging around his neck glittering under the glowing wall crystals of his private gallery.When he heard the commotion, he raised his head, a playful smirk tugging at his lips. "Did you bring your measuring tape today, Selene? If not, I have plenty prepared.""That won't be necessary. I brought it with me." I took a step into the gallery, pulling the soft leather cord from my satchel.Marius set down his communication slate and walked over, his tall frame blocking the light from the tall glass windows.He bent down, his hot breath brushing against my ear, making my skin prickle. "Remember to save the measurements after you're done. I plan to have all my future ceremonial wear custom-made by you, High Artisan."I shot him an icy glare, stepping back. "You don't need to speak so close to me. My hearing is sharp enough."Marius chuckled, clearly enjoying the way he could push my buttons."Raise your arms,

    The velvet heavy curtains of the High Alpha's inner study were drawn tight, casting long, dark shadows across the carved mahogany desk where Lucian Lycan sat reviewing the border security ledgers."The pack funds for the Shadowfang boundary have been redirected," Lucian rumbled, his deep voice carrying a lethal, possessive edge as he placed the heavy seal onto the parchment. "Sign this, Tanis."Tanis Moonshade shifted her weight near the polished obsidian table, her fingers twitching near her leather ledger as she stared at the Supreme Alpha King with desperate, flickering eyes."Is there something else?" Lucian asked, his golden eyes narrowing into dangerous, predatory slits that shadowed his sharp jaw.Tanis bit her lip until the faint scent of copper filled the small gap between them, her claws digging into her palm. "My Lord Alpha... are you sending me to the remote border posts in the Shadowfang Wastelands because of Selene?"She had just received the official decree from the Gra

    The iron-bound door of the Mooncrest Artisan Guild’s private vault slammed against the stone wall, the sudden concussive crack echoing through the drafty corridor as my wolf thrashed wildly beneath my skin.Tanis Moonshade stood near the crescent display board, her manicured claws digging into a leather ledger as her dark eyes burned with pure, venomous satisfaction."I told you the paper trail wouldn't hide your incompetence forever, Selene," Tanis sneered, her voice carrying down the quiet hallway so every listening apprentice could hear the blade in her words.I didn't answer her; my focus was entirely on the glowing parchment tablet in my hands as my fingers traced the decrypted bank transfers provided by my old pack ally, Viktorina Corvinus."The Shadowfang Wasteland supply line didn't collapse because of a procurement error," I said, my voice ice-cold as I looked up from the screen, my eyes flashing an incandescent amber that made Tanis step back half an inch.
