Chapter 6

Author: Soda
Red emergency lights flooded the hallway outside.

Violent pounding shook the door frames.

Beyond the clear glass panel, Derrick looked like a cornered beast. He slammed his fists against the door over and over.

"Valerie! Come out! We need to settle this!"

Killian stood in front of me. He tossed his suit jacket onto the counter and rolled up his shirt sleeves with a flat face.

"He can't break it," I said quietly. I stared at his twisted face through the glass.

"I know." Killian turned to me. "You

    "Mommy, look!"Hazel ran into the lab with her small hands held high. Tufts of pure white fur sprouted from her palms. Pure joy filled her eyes.I crouched down and stroked her little head.For four years, the people in Derrick's pack sneered behind her back. They called her blood dirty. They said she would never shift into a White Wolf.Now, her true bloodline was fully awakened by my serum."Good girl," I praised softly. "Tomorrow, we can start practicing claw control."I stood up. New notifications flashed across the monitors on my workbench.Nine months had passed. Everything was different now.My serum stabilized our pups' bloodlines. It crushed the feral rage gene in grown wolves.The High Council Medical Board approved my research by a unanimous vote. Purchase orders flooded in from every major territory.With this breakthrough in my hands, major pack leaders spoke to me with deep respect. No one dared cross us anymore.News from New York arrived in bits and pieces.After return

    "Valerie, the outer post brought in a batch of high-purity tundra samples. You need to check them yourself."Early in the morning, the assistant healer's voice came through the intercom.Heavy snow had trapped Colorado for two days. The storm cut off all mountain transport routes. That batch held the key to the final antitoxin serum. I put on my coat and walked alone to the outpost behind the main house.Wind and snow howled, slamming against the wooden door.The outpost stood empty. Only two tall racks held first-aid kits and sealed plant vials.I walked to the freezer at the back and bent down to check the labels.A dark shape sprang from the shadows behind me."Bitch! Die!"A shrill shriek pierced the storm.Silver flashed. A blade dripping with dark purple venom drove straight toward my spine.I jerked aside, but the knife was already at my chest.A solid body crashed into me, shoving me out of the path.A sickening crunch tore through the room. Cold metal ripped through flesh and

Killian turned to me. "Your call. Do we let him in?"I opened my mouth, but Hazel tugged at my sweater."Mommy, let him in. I want to tell him myself. He is not my daddy anymore."I looked down at my daughter. Then I walked to the central console and hit the unlock button."Let him in."The mechanical lock clicked open. Both heavy doors slid apart.The second a gap appeared, Derrick stumbled inside."Valerie!"His eyes locked onto me across the room. Bloodshot. Terrifying. He charged toward me. "Come back to New York wit

    The cabin door slid open. Freezing wind and driving snow rushed inside.I tightened my arms around Hazel.At the end of the runway, a row of black SUVs waited in the storm.Dozens of armed guards stood straight on both sides. Obsidian crests sat pinned to their chests.A tall man stood at the very front. His long black coat whipped in the blizzard. He put out his cigarette and walked toward us through the snow.Killian Frost.The ruler of Obsidian Ridge. The only Alpha who could make the North American Wolf Council back down."Valerie."He stopped at the bottom of the stairs and looked up at me. Snow fell on his sharp brow. The brutal aura around him vanished the second our eyes met. He locked it down with sheer force.I carried my daughter down the stairs. The snow crunched under my boots.The second my eyes met his, my breath caught.Without any shield, a blinding golden aura flared from him toward me.Bright. Blazing. Free of any dark haze.Plenty of males had chased me over the yea

    The emergency room doors swung open. Derrick blocked the exit in two long strides."Where are her blood tests?"The pack's head physician still wore his mask. He clutched the charts, pinned against the door by Derrick's massive build."Alpha... Nadia's vitals are completely normal."Derrick stared him down, his eyes turning dangerous. "Normal? She collapsed in violent convulsions, and you tell me she's fine?""Her skin showed minor irritation from stinging nettle," the doctor offered the papers forward with shaking hands. "Nettle causes temporary redness and itching. Zero neurotoxins. The seizures you saw were either panic, or deliberate faking."Deliberate faking.A sharp pulse hammered Derrick's temples.He had condemned Valerie over a lie. No lethal poison. Just a harmless primer herb.The greenhouse scene crashed back into his mind.He remembered shoving Valerie to the ground to reach Nadia.Something heavy shattered. That was... the uncut purple wolfsbane cabinet.Three months ago

    "How long are you going to keep this damn game up?!"The greenhouse metal sliding door slammed hard against the concrete wall.We stayed locked in ice for six straight days.For six days, I slept in the guest room. Aside from making meals for Hazel, I locked myself in this underground lab to extract medicinal herbs.Derrick stood by the door, yanked his tie loose, and stormed over."You and Hazel skipped the bonfire ceremony. The pack elders spent six days asking where the Luna was." His voice was heavy with exhaustion and irritation. He stopped right at my workbench. "I will overlook the slap. Stop hiding down here. Pack your things and sleep in our bed tonight."I kept my head down. My tweezers held the final leaf of a winter herb, sealing it into a vacuum bag.Thirty hours left until the Gulfstream G650 touched down on the tarmac."I am not playing games. I am cataloging my personal samples." I snapped the metal lock shut.Derrick scowled and grabbed my wrist, cutting off my movemen
