"The next afternoon."

Even though Theo had already executed the orders to jam the Council’s filing systems, I couldn't stop the dark satisfaction of imagining Elena showing up at the courthouse only to find the doors metaphorically barred. I could practically hear the frustrated growl she’d emit, her eyes flashing that defiant gold I was becoming obsessed with.

Still, I arrived at the European Screen Awards district fifteen minutes before three. I wasn't about to miss the chance to see her real

    Diane just stared at me for a long, quiet moment. Then she took off her reading spectacles and sighed heavily. "Amara, can I speak to you plainly? From one mother to another?"The deep exhaustion in her voice made all my anger melt away. She had the exact same dark shadows under her eyes that I carried every single day from overworking."Please do.""We both know Bobby is a nightmare to deal with. Healer Keane confirmed that the boy was indeed trying to ruin Kairo's new boots during outdoor play.""See?!" I yelled, half-rising from my chair. "Then Kairo was just—""That still does not make your son's reaction acceptable," Diane cut in firmly. "He completely tackled the boy, Amara. You think Kairo's eye looks bad? It is an absolute miracle from the ancestors that Bobby didn't need his arm stitched back up by a medicine wolf."My heart sank straight to my boots. "Stitches?""Kairo snatched the iron crafting shears right out of the teacher's bin. He was literally tearing at Bobby's tunic

    Zorren's silver eyes went wide. It was just a tiny flicker, but I could tell he was completely shocked by my reaction. He definitely wasn't used to anyone pushing him back. "You are rejecting the treaty.""You bet I am," I barked, planting my fists on my hips. "What? Did you honestly think you could just march down to my den and buy my family like livestock?""Your nest is drowning in debt," he said, using that calm, annoying voice again. "You clearly need the resources.""And you clearly have no idea how to talk to people." I completely forgot about keeping a safe distance from a supreme predator and stepped right into his personal space. I was barely half his size, but my inner mother wolf was roaring with enough fury to match his entire pack. "You stomp into my territory, you insult my life's work, you call my den a dump—""I did not call it—""Yes, you did!" I shouted. "This run-down den is my home, Zorren! It is the only safe place my son has in this entire city. And you do not g

    "You have to tell me everything right now, Amara," Nyra Ekon barked the second I walked into the Sankti town local pack clinic for my late-night healing shift. "I was so incredibly mad at you for pulling a no-show, but then I heard what happened!""I totally deserved your anger," I muttered, setting down my worn medical kit."Are you insane? No, you didn't! You got caught right in the middle of a rogue ambush with silver cross-bolts flying everywhere! That is literally the ultimate pass to skip a shift." She threw her arms around me, squeezing my ribs so hard my inner omega let out a tiny whine. "Are you actually whole? No broken bones? No silver burns?""I am completely intact," I choked out, tapping her shoulder. "But I really need air in my lungs again, Nyra.""Fine, you can breathe now." She let go but kept her eyes fixed on me like a hawk tracking a rabbit.Then she started drilling me about the mysterious, super-powerful Alpha who had paid me ten thousand credits just to carry h

    "You were totally right, Alpha," Tade Okoro said, bursting into my high-floor office inside the Vargan Dominion packfront enterprise and tossing a thick folder onto my giant desk. "It's them."I didn't say the name out loud. I couldn't. Every single time that word passed my fangs, it tasted like bitter silver ash and made my inner wolf roar so loud I wanted to tear apart the whole Obsidian Quarter just to stop the burning in my veins.So we just called them them.The Prizrak. It was the ancient rogue dialect word for specter. They were a ghost pack of bloodstained phantoms who didn't exist on any regional Council registry.They were high-tier assassins from the northern wastes who would rip out any alpha's throat if you gave them enough raw gold. The elders whispered that they were behind every major packline execution for the last fifty winters.And two decades ago, someone paid them to wipe out the Vukari bloodline.It only took my wolf twenty-four hours to hunt down the traitor who

    "Why are you sneaking around my pack-borders at this hour?" I asked, my voice shaking like a wet pup as I stared at the two Council elders standing right outside my apartment door."The Regional Registry requires a manual scent-check, Amara," Elder Howard rumbled, his nose twitching like a bloodhound trying to catch a rogue trail. "May we cross into your nesting area?"I bit my lip so hard I tasted copper, wanting to tell him to go jump in a swamp, but I knew his little silver notepad could ruin my entire life if I acted rude. "Please enter," I mumbled, stepping back so they could walk onto the old rugs. "Make yourselves comfortable.""Thank you, little one," Elder Itzel whispered, her grandmotherly eyes crinkling behind her round glasses as she stepped inside. "This will only take a moment of your time."But Howard didn't wait for an invitation; he just marched right past me into the small kitchen, his shoulders stiff like a dominant alpha. "Where is the pup?""Kairo?" Itzel called o

    "Put that money back in your pocket, Amara," my own brain yelled at me like an annoying hall monitor.I sat on the squeaky old bed inside the Valecrest Towers apartment and flipped through the thick stack of silver Vargan credits anyway. My fingers were shaking hard, making the paper currency click like dry leaves. Zorren Vukari thought he could just pay me like a machine and tell me to get out of his big armored Shadowfang Phantom. He said the job was done because the sun was over the mountain ridge. It made my chest hurt so bad, like a heavy rock was sitting right on my lungs."Why are you acting like a total baby?" I muttered to myself, rubbing my eyes until they stung. "You got ten thousand credits. That is enough to buy Kairo the best training wraps in Blackthorn City and pay the rent so the mean landlord doesn't kick us into the gutter."But my wolf inside was howling, completely miserable. She didn't want the warlord's money. She wanted him to stay. She remembered how he looked

    Elena"Truffle crisis averted?" Mason’s voice greeted me the moment I stepped through the apartment door, his energy buzzing like a live wire."Yeah," I said, collapsing onto the velvet sofa beside him. "It was messy, but that stubborn Alpha should be delivering them to Doña Carmen as we speak."Ma

    Not to mention my heart was still hammering against my ribs from the primal display in Sebastian’s office. The way his touch had ignited silver-fire beneath my skin, his teeth grazing the sensitive cord of my neck... I pressed my thighs together as I leaned against the elevator wall, trying to igno

    "I clenched my jaw, the scent of his expensive cologne—sandalwood and cold rain—warring with the lingering aroma of the steak. 'You said if I attended Lucia’s pack-bonding lunch, you’d personally deliver the solstice truffles to Doña Carmen. I kept my end of the bargain, Sebastian.'""Ah, right." H

    "Just an amateur." His smile was disarming, his scent a mix of ozone and ancient pine that was unexpectedly soothing. "You seemed particularly rattled by the flash. Bad experience with the paparazzi?"I rarely confided in strangers, especially ones with an Alpha’s presence, but something about his
