The armory was silent.

Eliana moved through the dimly lit room, her footsteps echoing on the concrete floor. Rows of guns lined the walls. Silver bolts gleamed in glass cases. Hunting knives hung in neat rows.

Marcus's business. His pride. His fortress.

She'd taken the key while he slept. He'd never suspect. He was too wounded, too tired, too trusting.

She reached for a small glass bottle on the shelf. The liquid inside was pale green. Thick. Potent.

Wolfsbane extract.

    The armory was silent.Eliana moved through the dimly lit room, her footsteps echoing on the concrete floor. Rows of guns lined the walls. Silver bolts gleamed in glass cases. Hunting knives hung in neat rows.Marcus's business. His pride. His fortress.She'd taken the key while he slept. He'd never suspect. He was too wounded, too tired, too trusting.She reached for a small glass bottle on the shelf. The liquid inside was pale green. Thick. Potent.Wolfsbane extract.Eliana knew exactly what wolfsbane did to wolves.It weakened their muscles. Burned through their senses. And, most importantly, it kept them trapped in their human form.No transformation. No healing. No escape.She poured the liquid into a small diffuser and switched it on.Within seconds, a sharp, bitter scent began spreading through the room.Eliana stepped back and watched the pale mist disappear into the darkness."Let's see how strong you really are."She pulled out her phone.Eliana (posing as Lyra): Vance, plea

    The front door slammed open at 3:47 AM.Eliana Hale jolted awake, her heart pounding. She heard heavy footsteps in the hallway. Labored breathing. A low grunt of pain.She threw off the covers and rushed out of the bedroom.Marcus was leaning against the wall, his hand pressed to his shoulder. Blood seeped through his fingers, staining his jacket dark red. His face was pale. His eyes were wild."Marcus!" Eliana rushed to his side. "What happened?""Damien." The name came out like a curse. "He's alive. He attacked us in the woods."Eliana's blood ran cold. "Damien Cross? That's impossible. He died in the fire.""Apparently not." Marcus winced as she helped him to the couch. "He's been hiding. Waiting. Building an army."Eliana's hands trembled as she grabbed the first aid kit. "An army of what?""Wolves." Marcus's voice was hollow. "He's been biting students. Turning them. Building a pack right under our noses."Eliana froze. "Students?""Vance Rourke." Marcus met her eyes. "He's one o

  • The Alpha Rising : The Wolf Within    The Hunter's Prey

    Vance woke with a start.His heart was pounding. His skin was slick with sweat. The wolf was pacing beneath his skin, restless and hungry.But it wasn't the wolf that had woken him.It was the feeling.The feeling of being watched.He sat up, scanning the darkness. His apartment was empty. The curtains were drawn. The door was locked.But the feeling wouldn't go away.He's out there, the wolf whispered. The hunter. He's coming.Vance's blood ran cold.He doesn't know yet, he told himself. He can't know.But the wolf wasn't convinced.He knows. He's always known.Vance grabbed his phone. 7:47 AM the sun slowly brighting up the Saturday morning.He needed to divert his attention, so he texted Jeff .---The diner was empty when Vance arrived.Jeff was already there, nursing a cup of coffee. He looked up when Vance walked in, his face etched with concern."You look like hell," Jeff said."Thanks." Vance slid into the booth across from him. "I couldn't sleep.""Nightmares?""Worse." Vance

  • The Alpha Rising : The Wolf Within    The Full Moon

    Vance woke up feeling like his skin was on fire. The morning sun streamed through his window, but instead of warmth, it seemed to burn against his skin. Every nerve in his body felt exposed, every muscle wound tight beneath his skin. The wolf was restless. Tonight, it whispered inside him. Tonight, I run free. Vance pressed his palms against his temples. "Not tonight. Not ever." You can't stop me. You've been fighting for weeks, Vance. Tonight, you lose. He stumbled out of bed and into the bathroom. His reflection stared back at him—pale, gaunt, dark circles under his eyes. But it was his eyes that terrified him most. Gold. Brown. Gold. Brown. Vance gripped the edge of the sink. I'm losing control. --- School was a blur. Vance walked through the hallways like a ghost, his senses on overdrive. Every sound was too loud. Every scent was too sharp. He could hear whispers from three classrooms away. He could smell the fear coming off the freshmen who'd just been shoved i

  • The Alpha Rising : The Wolf Within    The Meeting

    The old water tower loomed against the midnight sky like a skeletal finger pointing at the moon.Vance stood at the base of it, his heart pounding so hard he could hear it in his ears. The wind howled through the rusted metal legs, carrying the scent of damp earth and something else. Something wild. Something familiar.You shouldn't have come.The voice wasn't his.It came from inside him. The wolf. Restless. Hungry. Afraid.Turn back. Go home. Before it's too late.Vance ignored it.He'd made his choice. He'd come this far. He wasn't turning back now."Hello, Vance."The voice came from behind him. Smooth. Calm. Controlled.Vance spun around.A figure stepped out of the shadows. Tall. Broad-shouldered. Golden eyes gleaming in the darkness like twin embers.Damien Cross.Up close, he was even more imposing. His face was angular, weathered, marked by years of hardship. His presence radiated power—ancient, dangerous, undeniable."So you came," Damien said, a faint smile playing on his l

  • The Alpha Rising : The Wolf Within    The Exposure

    The bathroom tiles were ice beneath Vance's knees. He barely reached the restroom before collapsing beside the sink, his chest rising and falling in frantic gasps. Every sound in the school crashed into him at once the dripping faucet, footsteps echoing in the hallway, distant laughter, even the steady rhythm of heartbeats beyond the walls. Every scent flooded his senses until he thought his skull would split open. Beneath his skin, the wolf prowled like a caged predator, growing more restless with every passing second. He'd excused himself mid-lecture, muttering something about feeling sick. Lyra had watched him go, concern written across her face. He'd seen it in the way her hand had reached for him, hesitated, then fallen back to her desk.Now he was here. Alone. On the floor. Fighting for control.Let me out.The voice wasn't his. It came from somewhere deep inside his chest. Primal. Ancient. Hungry.Run, Hunt, Feed, The cage is breaking."No." Vance pressed his palms against his
