HARLAN

Moonfall city did not welcome strangers, it didn’t reject them either but just simply absorbed them.

That was the first thing I noticed as I stepped into the city. There were no guards questioning my presence after I've hidden my identity and masked my scent.

There was no obvious tension in the air other than movement which was controlled, measured and intentional.

A lesser city would have felt chaotic but Moonfall felt curated.

My boots met stone as I moved with the crowd and my presen

    CHRISTINEThe office didn’t feel like mine completely but it was getting thereStacks of documents covered the desk, some were neatly arranged while others left open where I had abandoned them midway through review. The faint scent of ink and fresh paper stayed in the air, mixing with the low hum of the city drifting in through the tall windows.Nathan sat across from me, flipping through a file with a slight frown.“You’re overworking already,” he muttered.“I’m working,” I corrected without looking up.“There’s a difference.” He said and I ignored him.My attention stayed on the contract in front of me as my eyes scanned each clause carefully. The trader we were dealing with had been hesitant earlier, too hesitant for someone who clearly needed the deal.Suddenly, he wasn’t.I paused, my pen hovering slightly above the page. That was the part that didn’t sit right.“This doesn’t make sense,” I said quietly.Nathan looked up immediately. “What?”I leaned back slightly, tapping the

    KAELThe report arrived before I asked for it, it always did.Darius stood across the desk, posture straight, voice steady as he spoke.“She secured the office space this morning.”I didn’t look up immediately as my attention remained on the document in front of me, though I wasn’t reading it anymore.“Location?” I asked,“Eastern commercial district, third level and it overlooks the inner trade route.”My fingers tapped once against the desk. “Has she received any clients yet?”“Three confirmed consultations already,” Darius replied. “Two small firms and one independent trader.”That was really fast, I didn't expect less from one who was the brains behind Harlan’s pack expansion.A faint pause settled in the room before I spoke again “She moves quickly.”Darius didn’t respond and I didn’t expect him to. He didn’t comment on observations, he just simply carried them.I leaned back slightly in my chair as my gaze shifted toward the window. From here, the city stretched wildly beneath m

    HARLANMoonfall city did not welcome strangers, it didn’t reject them either but just simply absorbed them.That was the first thing I noticed as I stepped into the city. There were no guards questioning my presence after I've hidden my identity and masked my scent. There was no obvious tension in the air other than movement which was controlled, measured and intentional.A lesser city would have felt chaotic but Moonfall felt curated.My boots met stone as I moved with the crowd and my presence folded into theirs. My aura was buried deeply and my scent was suppressed into something forgettable—no Alpha, no dominance, just another man passing through.It had to be that way if I truly wanted to get Christine back and this city did not belong to me so I had to tread with caution.My gaze shifted slowly and deliberately taking in the flow of merchants lining the streets, the quiet exchanges, the invisible order beneath the noise.Everything ran too smoothly and clean.Trade moved withou

    CHRISTINEMy chest tightened faintly not from pain but from something colder. Even now, nothing has changed.“I heard you left the pack entirely,” she went on,“You sold your properties and cut ties completely with us. That’s too impulsive Christine, you don’t need to go that far. Just come back so we can fix things.”Fix? The word felt almost ironic.“You were wronged at the ceremony,” she added quickly. “I won’t deny that but we can make up for it. We’ll arrange another one properly, this time even bigger and better. If you’re worried, you and Harlan can formalize the bond first, and we’ll take our time with everything else.”I closed my eyes briefly just for a second. A month ago, those words might have broken and softened me but not anymore, they meant nothing.“He’s been out every day searching for you,” she continued. “He’s barely eating, barely sleeping and he’s lost so much weight.”A soft, quiet laugh slipped out of me before I could stop it. It wasn’t out of amusement but ho

    CHRISTINE“She’s Stephanie Vale,” Nathan’s voice cut through the quiet atmosphere just as the elevator doors slid shut behind us and for a moment, I didn’t respond.The name settled slowly, not because I didn’t understand it but because of the weight it carried. Stephanie Vale—even if I hadn’t been in Moonfall long, I had heard enough, especially from Nathan who wouldn't stop updating me with Moonfall’s latest gossip. One can't spend weeks studying a city like this without learning who held it together behind the surface.Her family controlled trade routes, supply chains and information. Half the movement in this city passed through their hands in one way or another and I had just walked past her like she was nothing.I exhaled quietly, “That explains a lot,” I said.Nathan let out a short breath, almost a humorless laugh. “You think?”We stepped out into the open corridor leading toward the exit of the tower, the guards barely sparing us a glance this time.“She didn’t introduce he

    KAELSilence settled the moment the door closed behind Christine—not the empty kind, the kind that lingered shifted and stayed.I didn’t move immediately.My gaze remained on the door for a second longer than necessary as if I expected it to open again. As if she would walk back in and add something else like another condition and another calculated demand but she didn’t.Christine Hale didn’t strike me as someone who second-guessed her decisions.My fingers tapped once against the desk before stilling.‘I don’t work under you, I work with you.’ I replayed her words in my head and a faint, almost imperceptible smile tugged at the corner of my lips.Most people walked into this office with desperation, fear, need and negotiated from weakness but she hadn’t even right from the first day she had stepped into my office She had walked in with nothing and still demanded terms.My wolf stirred beneath my skin, not in warning but in recognition.I exhaled slowly and reached for the comm de

    CHRISTINE Nathan was still staring at the envelope like it might explode, I took it from his hand.“Relax,” I said and Nathan looked at me like I’d just said something ridiculous.“Relax?” he repeated. “That’s the Alpha’s crest,”I broke the seal. The paper inside was thick and expensive, the kind

    CHRISTINEThe moment my eyes landed on the first line, my fingers tightened around the paper.It wasn’t a contract or an approval letter, It wasn’t anything I expected.It looked like an intelligence notice, it was a search notice.The bold heading at the top made my stomach twist.Subject: Christi
