(Lucian's POV)

The rogue sat in our interrogation room, silver chains binding his wrists and ankles. He was young, maybe twenty-five, with scars crisscrossing his face and arms. A hard life lived on the fringes of wolf society.

"Name?" I asked.

"Ryan. Just Ryan."

"You said you have information. Start talking."

"First, I want a deal. Sanctuary in your pack. Protection."

"Protection from what?"

"From what's coming. From who's coming."

Hailey sat beside me, her exhaustion evident. The Council meeting had taken a toll. But she'd insisted on being here, on hearing what this rogue had to say.

"You need to be more specific," she said. "We don't make deals with vague threats."

Ryan leaned forward as much as the chains allowed. "I was part of Vivian's army. But not because I believed in her cause. I needed money. She was paying well."

"So you're a mercenary. Great. Very trustworthy."

"I'm honest about what I am. Which is more than most can say." He paused. "But about a week before the battle,

    I sat there. Staring at nothing. Feeling the weight of failure crushing me."They're right," I whispered. "I can't protect Hope. Can't stop them. Can't even keep our home standing.""Stop," Lucian said. "Don't let them in your head.""They're already in my head! They predicted everything! Knew exactly how to manipulate me!""Then we change tactics. Stop being predictable. Stop letting emotion drive decisions.""Emotion? I left Hope to save Jude! That's not emotion, that's stupidity!""It was compassion. It was trying to be better than your worst moments. Don't lose that. It's what makes you different from them.""Different doesn't matter if Hope dies.""Hope's alive. Because of Lucy. Because of warriors who fought. Because of you getting back in time. That's not failure. That's survival.""Survival isn't enough.""It is when you're this outnumbered. This outmaneuvered. Survival is victory."Hope stirred. "Mama? I'm hungry."Such simple needs. Such innocent requests. While her world bu

    "Lucy! Lucy, answer me!"I ran faster than I'd ever run. Pushed my wolf past every limit. Through the bond, I felt Lucian doing the same. Racing toward the pack house."Hailey!" Lucy's voice crackled through the phone. "They're here! Armed men! They're trying to breach Hope's room!""Hold them! I'm coming!""There's too many! At least twenty! They have silver weapons! They're—"Gunfire. Screaming. The phone went dead."No! No, no, no!"Through pack bond, I felt warriors dying. Felt Lucy's panic. Felt Petra fighting. Felt Hope's terror."I'm almost there!" I told them. "Hold on!"But almost wasn't fast enough. Five miles. Four. Three.An explosion rocked the territory. Smoke rose from the pack house."They breached!" Edward shouted through comms. "They're in the house!"I burst into the clearing. The pack house was burning. Warriors fighting everywhere. Silver bullets flying. Wolves falling.I shifted mid-run. Charged through the front door. Smoke choked me. Fire surrounded me."Hope!"

    "Mama, why you cry?"Hope stood in the doorway of my room. I hadn't realized I was crying. Hadn't felt the tears."Mama's just sad, baby. But I'm okay.""About what?"How did you explain to a two-year-old? You didn't. You couldn't."About someone I used to know. Someone who's hurt.""Can you help them?""Maybe. But it's complicated.""You always help people. You're Mama. That's what you do."Her simple faith broke my heart. In her world, Mama could fix everything. Mama always helped. Mama never failed.But this time, Mama might have to."Come here, baby." I pulled her into my lap. Held her tight. Breathed her in."You smell scared," she said. "Like when bad people come.""I am scared. But not of bad people. Of making wrong choices.""What choice?""Whether to help someone who hurt me. Whether to risk people I love to save someone from my past.""Do you love them? The hurt person?""I used to. A long time ago.""Then help them. Love means helping. Even when it's hard.""What if helping

    "You're lying."My hand shook as I held the phone. Lucian was watching me. Concerned. Confused."Am I? Would you like proof?"The phone buzzed. A photo appeared. Jude. Older. Haggard. But unmistakably him. Holding today's newspaper. Alive."How?" I whispered."He never died in that fire. I saved him. Kept him hidden. Knowing someday he'd be useful. And now that day has come.""What do you want?""A trade. Jude for Hope. You bring her to the location I specify. Alone. And I'll give you your mate back.""He's not my mate. Not anymore.""But he was. And part of you still cares. Still wants answers. Still wants closure. I can give you that. All you have to do is trade.""I'd never trade Hope for anyone. Even Jude.""Really? Even though he's suffered for two years because of you? Even though he's been tortured. Broken. Begging for death? You'd let him continue suffering rather than save him?""Yes."The word felt like betrayal. But it was truth. Hope mattered more than anyone. Even Jude."

    The drive back was quiet. Hope fell asleep in her car seat. Lucy stared out the window. Edward drove with mechanical precision. Lucian and I sat in silence.When we got home, Petra was waiting. Her face was grave."We have a problem. The Council called emergency session. They want you there. Now.""What's it about?""The mall incident. It's all over the news. They're saying you attacked a human unprovoked. That supernatural aggression is out of control. They're calling for your removal from the council.""Let them call. I was protecting Hope.""They don't care. They care about optics. And right now, the optics are terrible. Naked shapeshifters attacking humans in malls. That's not the image they want.""Then they can handle the council without me. I'm done playing politics.""Hailey, if you don't show up, they'll vote to remove you. Strip your position. Possibly your Luna title.""My title comes from my pack. Not the Council.""But your authority in the supernatural community comes fr

    "Someone's following us."Edward's voice was tense through the phone. He'd been running security detail for Hope's doctor appointment in the city. Routine checkup. Nothing dangerous.Except now someone was following them."How many?" I asked, already moving toward the door."One car. Black SUV. Tinted windows. They've been on us for ten miles. Every turn we make, they make.""Can you lose them?""Not without making it obvious. And if I do, they'll know we're onto them.""Then don't lose them. Lead them somewhere public. Lots of witnesses. I'm coming."I grabbed Lucian. "Someone's following Hope."His face went pale. "Where?""Downtown. Edward's bringing her to the mall. Public place. We need to go now."We shifted. Ran. Pushing our wolves to maximum speed. The city was twenty minutes away. We had to make it in ten.Through the pack bond, I felt Edward's anxiety. Hope's confusion. Lucy's fear."It's okay, baby," Lucy was saying. "We're just taking a different route. Uncle Edward wants
