Jerica’s POV

My head was pounding, and before I even opened my eyes, I knew my wrists were in cuffs. Cold metal bit into my skin with every twitch of my fingers. I kept my breathing steady, refusing to give whoever took me the satisfaction of panic. I focused on listening — was anyone in the room? Any movement? Breathing?

I tried to reach my wolf, to sharpen my senses, but she was silent. I couldn’t even feel the distant hum of her presence. A cold realization settled over me. They’d injected me with wolfsbane. “Fucking great,” I muttered under my breath.

The room was quiet. I didn’t think anyone was there, but I wasn’t letting my guard down. Slowly, I opened my eyes. It was dark, but not pitch black. There was a sliver of light cutting in through the top of the curtains, highlighting the dust in the air. Daylight. Morning, maybe? That meant I’d been out since at least 1:30 a.m.—and that was if it hadn’t been more than one night. I had no idea how long I’d been unconscious. No way to

    Jerica – POVJerica sat in stunned silence, her back pressed to the cold wall, one hand still clutched to her neck where Janessa’s syringe had pierced her skin. It throbbed, a slow, burning ache that spread like fire through her bloodstream. But it was nothing compared to the ache forming in her chest.Janet — no, Janessa — stood on the other side of the room with a smug expression, ropes discarded at her feet, her clean clothes and neat appearance a mockery of the girl Jerica had once called her friend. "You should've seen your face," Janessa sneered, crossing her arms. "You looked so concerned. Almost made me feel bad."Jerica swallowed hard, every emotion vying for dominance — shock, rage, betrayal. Her mouth was dry, her tongue heavy. “You drugged me… you’ve been lying this whole time,” she whispered. Janessa tilted her head. “I said my name was Janet. I never said I was your friend.”The sting of those words hit almost harder than the injection. Jerica blinked hard, refusing to c

    TrevorJake, Eric, and Melissa stepped into the pack house just after sunset with Laura trailing behind them. Her eyes were sharp, wary, and haunted—like someone who had seen too much and survived barely enough. Without saying a word, she gave Trevor a respectful nod and disappeared down one of the side hallways to find a quiet space away from the buzz of action. She wasn’t part of this mission, but she’d been through enough with the hunters to understand what was at stake.Trevor stood in the grand foyer, watching her disappear, then turned to face his Beta, Eric and Jake. His mate. Melissa, stood beside him, the worry etched into every line of her face. She had barely slept. None of them had. “Library. Now,” Trevor ordered, voice clipped.They moved quickly. Within minutes, a dozen and a half warriors, five trackers, and the leadership team gathered inside the large room. A massive map of the surrounding tri-state area was already rolled across the main oak table. Pins and markers

    Jerica’s POVI sat slouched on the couch, pretending to clean the dirt out from under my nails with one of the small plastic forks they had foolishly left behind with last night’s “dinner.” Really, I was just trying to keep myself from losing my mind. I’d been locked in this room for hours. The lights were off again, the only source of light still trickling in from that same sliver of a window near the ceiling. Morning light, brighter now, warmer — but not comforting.No one had come in since that smug woman from earlier. So much for “Rufus” being so eager to see me. I dropped my head back against the top of the couch and exhaled, my lungs burning with frustration.I had no sense of time. No scent trails. No wolf. Just silence and shadows. Whoever these people were, they were smart enough to keep dosing me with wolfsbane and even smarter about keeping my surroundings sterile. No scent markers, no names, no clues. It was a fucking prison wrapped in a mystery.The door creaked open. I d

    Trixie’s POVThe thud of the punching bag echoed off the walls of the Blood Moon gym, followed by the rhythmic slap of gloves against pads. Sweat slicked Trixie’s forehead, stinging her eyes. Her arms felt like rubber, her legs heavy as stone. Trevor said nothing as he held the mitts steady, letting her pound out her exhaustion and rage in silence. They had been at it for hours now.Neither of them spoke. Words wouldn’t help.Trixie’s body gave out before her will did. She collapsed to her knees on the mat, panting hard, her knuckles aching. Trevor stayed still, watching, his chest rising and falling with the same fatigue she felt. Without a word, she got up and stumbled to the corner, grabbing a water bottle and chugging it down.She wandered toward the double doors of the gym, squinting into the hallway. Pale gold light spilled across the tiles.Sunrise.It was morning already. Her heart clenched painfully in her chest. Where are you, Jerica? And Janet? Trevor appeared beside her, s

    Janet’s POVI pulled my go bag from under the seat and yanked out the makeup remover. The glitter from the fake lashes and shimmer eyeshadow smeared across my cheeks as I wiped my face clean. I reached up and tugged the ridiculous pigtails loose, silver tinsel falling like confetti to the floor of the car. "See if I ever volunteer for undercover again," I muttered, rolling my eyes.Every few minutes I turned in my seat to glance at Jerica’s unconscious form, still slumped awkwardly in the back seat. And of course he would be driving — Brad, Brody’s idiot younger brother, who was clearly one bad idea away from getting us all caught. He whistled tunelessly while tapping the steering wheel, like we weren’t hauling a kidnapped werewolf in a tutu and fishnets across state lines in the next couple of hours.Ten minutes later, we pulled into a long-abandoned warehouse lot. The building was unmarked and weather-beaten, but it had one key feature: a private garage with a hidden studio apartmen
