The First Wolf I loved CHAPTER 89
Marc and Jade were back in his cabin. Deep in the trees, wrapped in a quiet so complete it felt deliberate, as though the forest itself had decided to give them privacy. Wind threaded softly through the branches outside, brushing pine needles together in a slow, steady rhythm. Inside, the air was warm and carried the faint scents of cedar wood, spent firewood, and the lingering trace of whiskey.Marcus lay on his back beneath the sheets, staring up at the ceiling beams he’d sanded and sealed with his own hands years ago. Jade lay beside him, partially draped across his chest, her head resting where his heartbeat was strongest. His arm circled her almost absentmindedly, thumb moving in slow, thoughtful arcs against her skin.For a long time, neither of them spoke.Silence didn’t feel like something to escape here. It felt earned. After weeks of noise, expectations, and endings spoken aloud, the quiet was a kind of balm.“I’m not ready,” Marcus said eventually, his voice low and careful

Morning light filtered through the tall windows of Dom’s house, pale and clean, cutting through the lingering quiet of dawn. The place smelled faintly of coffee and polished wood, the kind of calm that came after a night without unrest. Dom stood near the kitchen island, phone pressed to his ear, gaze fixed on the open calendar projected on his tablet.“Yes,” he said into the phone, tone steady and authoritative. “The launch needs to feel welcoming, not ceremonial. This isn’t about reminding people who I am. It’s about what the gym offers the town.”He listened, brow creasing slightly. “No, I don’t want excessive banners. Clean lines. Strong lighting. Focus on function.”A pause.“Yes, food is fine. Keep it simple. Protein options, drinks, nothing that slows people down.”Another pause, longer this time. Dom nodded absently, even though the planner couldn’t see him. “That date works. Send me the final outline by tonight.”He ended the call and set the phone down, exhaling softly. The

The moon sat high above my roof that night, round and unblinking, as if it had chosen me specifically to watch. Its light spilled through the windows in silver ribbons, touching the floor, the walls, my skin. I should have closed the curtains. I didn’t.I lay on the couch, one arm draped over my eyes, breathing slowly. Too slowly. The Luna spirit stirred inside me, restless and awake in a way that felt far too intimate. It was not pain. Not fear. It was want. A want I had felt before.It wanted Dom. No, the alpha inside Dom.The pull came in waves, warm and insistent, curling low in my stomach and spreading outward like heat through embers. My thoughts betrayed me easily. His voice. His presence beside me in the council room. The steadiness of him. The way his touch had been careful, restrained, as if he understood how dangerous it would be to take more.I groaned softly and turned onto my side.This was exactly what I feared.I liked Dom. That part was real, undeniable. But this hung

The private trailer sat at the edge of the construction site like a polished secret. From the outside, it looked practical enough, but inside it carried a quiet luxury Marcus rarely indulged in. Clean lines, warm lighting, leather seating softened by use. A wide window looked out over the skeletal frame of the zonal office, steel ribs catching the fading afternoon light.Marcus stood near the small counter, a bottle of whiskey in his hand, watching dust drift in the distance. The day had been productive, loud, full of motion. In here, the silence pressed close, giving his thoughts more room than he liked.A low rumble cut through the quiet.He glanced toward the window just in time to see Jade pull up on her motorcycle, helmet tucked under one arm as she dismounted. The bike gleamed darkly in the sun, all sharp lines and controlled power. She removed her helmet, shaking her hair loose, and looked toward the trailer.Marcus felt something ease in his chest.Moments later, there was a k

The construction site breathed with purposeful noise.Metal clanged against metal in steady rhythm, a language of progress spoken in hammers, drills, and shouted measurements. Dust rose and settled in slow waves, catching the sun as it filtered through the skeletal frame of what would soon become the zonal office. Marcus stood near the edge of the site, hard hat tucked under his arm, boots planted firmly on packed earth that would one day be tiled and polished. His big dreams was coming to fruition. He had more money in the bank than he knew what to do with.For a project barely out of its infancy, the construction was doing well. Better than expected.Marc scanned the structure with a practiced eye, noting how the steel beams locked together like a promise being kept. The foundation had cured evenly. The first walls were already standing tall, confident in their lines. Progress charts clipped to a nearby board told the same story his instincts did. This build had momentum.“Morning,

Kane Dumont stood near the center of his study, broad shoulders tense beneath his dark coat. His presence filled the space the way storms filled the horizon. He stared down at the table before him, where markers and symbols lay scattered across a map of territory that no longer bent easily to his will.“They’re weaker now,” Kane said, voice rough with certainty. “Dominic’s pack lacks its enforcer. That absence leaves a gap they cannot fill overnight.”Todlin sat opposite him, composed and still, fingers steepled beneath her chin. The light caught the sharp intelligence in her eyes, reflecting calculation rather than flame.“It will affect them,” she agreed. “An enforcer is more than muscle. It is authority, fear, and speed combined. Removing that piece slows response and dulls intimidation.”Kane snorted, a sound edged with satisfaction. “Then we strike while they limp. Confusion spreads faster when no one stands to contain it.”Todlin did not immediately respond. She rose instead and
