“You knew she was sensitive to strangers, Sommy,” Zanele grumbles, wiping at her eyes and cutting a sharp, resentful glance my way. “Why didn't you warn me instead of letting me make a fool of myself?”

I do not even flinch. “I am a Healer, Zanele, not your personal pack handler. If you spent less time posturing for the broadcast crystals and more time paying attention to your surroundings, you would have smelled her distress.”

    “You knew she was sensitive to strangers, Sommy,” Zanele grumbles, wiping at her eyes and cutting a sharp, resentful glance my way. “Why didn't you warn me instead of letting me make a fool of myself?”I do not even flinch. “I am a Healer, Zanele, not your personal pack handler. If you spent less time posturing for the broadcast crystals and more time paying attention to your surroundings, you would have smelled her distress.”Ronan sits down at the table, his imposing, muscular frame casting a shadow over the bench as his golden eyes stay locked onto me. “Do not shift your carelessness onto Sommy, Zanele. Your inability to read a pack cub's body language is your own failing.”Zanele's face flushes a deep, angry crimson, her hands balling into tight fists at her sides. “I was only trying to be pleasant! I have served in the Northern Pack Territories; I am not used to dealing with fragile, pampered city wolves!”“Then return to the north,” Ronan responds, his voice dropping into a dang

    “I paid my price to the ancestors,” Ronan says, his voice flat, dropping his tunic back down to cover the hideous scar. “I carved my own flesh open to bleed out the poison.”Zanele’s scarred face drains of all color. “A-Are you completely insane?”“I love her,” Ronan responds, his golden eyes cold and unyielding.She freezes, the air leaving her lungs in a sharp gasp.Slowly, he fastens his heavy leather buckles, hiding the unhealable mark of the Bloodmoon Blaze. “My wolf will claim only one Luna in this lifetime.”Zanele stares at his lethal, expressionless face, utterly speechbound.“You will never escape this ward, Zanele,” he adds, his baritone vibrating with absolute finality. “And I will never forgive myself, either.”Zanele lets out a gut-wrenching, despondent shriek, clawing at her own hair as the truth settles in.“I’m transferring you to a deeper cell in Frostfang Hollow,” Ronan tells her coldly.She gapes at him in disbelief, her yellowing fangs bared. “You want to break ev

    My eyebrows pull together as I stare at him.High Alpha Ronan notices the sudden shift in my expression, his dark lips twisting into a faint, teasing smirk. “I’m just joking, little bird.”A heavy, involuntary sigh of relief slips past my lips before I can stop it.“You don't need to stress yourself,” Ronan says, lowering his golden eyes to his plate. “Some bonds can’t be repaired once they're severed. If they could, you wouldn't have walked away from the Wolfhart Moonkeep.”You walked out so coldly, and you never looked back.I bite my lower lip, my pulse thudding against my ribs. “They are your blood relatives, Ronan. Your pack elders.”Sooner or later, they will forgive your mistakes.Ronan looks away toward the burning hearth, his profile sharp and lethal. “Don't waste your pity on me, Sommy. I’m fully prepared to die an omega's death, isolated and alone.”“You won't die alone,” I say softly, the words escaping before I can filter them.Ronan’s head snaps back toward me, his inten

    “Stop acting like you didn’t push this onto me!” I snapped, my wolf snarling under my skin as I glared at Nyoka in the center of the Mooncrest Trading Grounds.The cameras were rolling, the broadcast crystals humming, but I didn't care. Nyoka had pushed me too far. She looked pitiful with her tear-streaked face and disheveled pack leather, but everyone standing around us knew the truth.“You think I don't know what you were trying to do?” Nyoka sobbed, pointing a trembling, clawed finger at my chest. “You knew High Alpha Ronan would lose his temper if anyone brought him food while he was studying the territorial maps! You deliberately handed me that thermal box so he would unleash his Alpha pressure and kick me out of the Wolfhart Moonkeep! You used me to make me look like a fool in front of the entire Lycan Dominion!”I stepped closer to her, my boots crunching against the gravel. “I didn't hand you anything, Nyoka. You practically ripped the box out of my hands because you wanted to

    “Get this pathetic stray out of my keep!” Ronan’s Alpha roar vibrated through the stone walls of the central tower, making the massive crystal chandeliers rattle overhead.Two hulking Enforcers slammed through the heavy doors, grabbing Nyoka Ashfang by her arms and dragging her across the marble floor. Nyoka screamed and thrashed, but her claws couldn't find purchase against their enchanted leather armor.Ronan stood beside the mahogany desk, staring at the steaming thermal ration box sitting untouched on the coffee table. He shoved a heavy hand through his dark hair, his golden Lycan eyes flashing with pure fury. His chest heaved as his beast growled beneath his ribs, utterly disgusted by the intruder's presence. He turned his back on the food, his appetite completely destroyed by the lingering scent of an unfamiliar wolf.Down in the main courtyard of the Moonkeep, the Enforcers tossed Nyoka onto the cobblestones like a sack of dead weight. Her knees hit the hard ground, skin tearin

    “Are you really going to let me walk away, Ronan?”“You will get your answer the second you step inside my packhouse,” Ronan Wolfhart growled, his raspy, velvet voice vibrating straight through my chest as his heavy arm finally slid down off the oak door frame, freeing me.I did not wait for his wolf to assert dominance. I bolted down the stone corridor of the Lycan Dominion's high sanctuary like a rogue fleeing an Alpha’s wrath.Behind me, his low chuckle carried on the night air. “You can never escape your mate bond, Sommy.”My heart hammered against my ribs, claws itching to break through my skin just to tear past the heavy iron gates. I shoved through the courtyard double doors, catching sight of Tarian Blackthorn leaning against his polished vehicle. I lunged forward, grabbing his forearm.“We are leaving right now, Tarian!”Tarian’s sharp obsidian eyes locked onto my face. His nostrils flared, scenting the heavy, possessive pheromones clinging to my skin, before his gaze dropped
