Evelyn hadn’t planned on going back to her childhood house. She pulled into the driveway alone, gravel crunching under her tires. No one followed. No one knew she was there. The house had sat untouched for years, perched at the edge of a narrow road just outside the city—weathered by time and memory.

The door creaked the way it always had, the sound oddly comforting. The front door opened with a familiar groan, and the scent hit her instantly—dust, wood, and something faintly sweet, like old cedar and forgotten things. Nothing had changed.

She made her way through the hall, boots echoing against the floorboards, each step guided by muscle memory. Her father’s study was still at the end of the corridor, the same door she wasn’t allowed to open as a child. Now, it was unlocked.

She went straight to the filing cabinet in the corner. Beneath a false bottom—exactly where he’d once shown her during a moment of rare honesty—she found the safe. Her fingers hesitated over the keypad, then ente

  • The Full Moon Murders    Chapter Seventy Two— The First of Her Name

    The child hadn’t moved.Even after the gunfire stopped, after Rhodes hit the ground and the alarms faded into static — she sat still, knees drawn to her chest, golden eyes fixed on Evelyn.The others stayed back, even Logan.But Evelyn crouched low again, heart still pounding.“My name is Evelyn,” she said softly. “I’m not here to hurt you.”The girl blinked. Once. Then twice. Still, no sound.“She’s in shock,” Mason murmured. “Probably been conditioned. Trained not to speak unless spoken to by—”“Rhodes,” Evelyn finished.“No,” said Logan. “Someone else.”They all looked at him.He was staring at the girl, something unreadable in his expression. Not fear. Not anger.Recognition.“I saw her once. In the early files, buried deep. She was never meant to be deployed. They called her Echo. The mimic. She was designed to bond with the strongest Alpha they had.”He looked at Evelyn now.“But that Alpha was never found.”The room felt smaller.Evelyn stood. “Then why is she looking at me lik

  • The Full Moon Murders    Chapter Seventy One: Bloodline

    Pain pulled her back.It was different this time — not just the ache of transformation, not just the soreness of battle. This pain felt… twisted. Like something foreign had been left behind inside her.Evelyn opened her eyes slowly. The ceiling above was cracked, flickering with weak emergency light. Her hands were bound, not with rope — but silver-thread cuffs. They burned.She tried to shift. Nothing happened.Panic surged.Then a shadow crossed her vision.“Mason?” she croaked.“No,” said a voice she hadn’t heard in years.A woman stepped forward — long coat, tired eyes, hair streaked with gray.Evelyn’s voice broke. “Mom?”Dr. Maris Black knelt beside her, voice low. “Don’t talk. The serum needs time to settle. Rhodes wanted to erase you, not kill you. You’re still yourself… mostly.”“Why are you here?”“She used me to get to you. Just like they all did.”Evelyn’s throat tightened. “You worked with them.”“I was trying to protect you.”The silence that followed was colder than the

  • The Full Moon Murders    Chapter Seventy — Wolves At The Door

    The sky split open.Not with lightning—but with howls.Evelyn stood at the precinct's second-floor window, her hands gripping the sill so hard the wood cracked beneath her fingers. Down below, the street was chaotic. Patrol cars screeched to life. Civilians screamed and scattered. And in the distance, just beyond the laneways and rooftops...Wolves.Not one. Not a pack. A wave.Logan appeared beside her, his shirt bloodied, jaw clenched. "They're not just circling anymore. They're coming in."She turned to him. Her voice, low and sharp. "Where's Mason?""Still in the holding cell. Reyes won’t release him without confirmation. Says we don't know what he is anymore.""He’s one of us," she said. "And if we leave him, we’re no better than the bastards who put him in that lab."A loud bang rocked the precinct—something slamming against the main doors. Wood splintered. Officers drew weapons. Someone screamed.Reyes burst into the bullpen, his eyes wild. "We hold the line. No one fires unles

  • The Full Moon Murders    Chapter Sixty Nine — The Rooftop Reckoning

    Lightning tore across the sky as the first wolf leapt for the rooftop.Evelyn fired before it landed.The silver round struck its shoulder — not fatal, but enough to drop it hard against the ledge. Logan was already moving, shifting mid-step with a growl that split the night air. Bones cracked, muscle stretched, and in seconds, he was no longer a man — but a predator.Three more wolves followed the first, claws scraping steel and concrete.Evelyn ducked behind a vent unit, heart pounding, gun reloaded. Logan met the first of them mid-air, teeth bared, and the two went down in a fury of snapping jaws and blood.Across the rooftop, Rhodes didn’t flinch.She simply watched.Her eyes glowed red under the stormlight, calm as death itself. She didn’t raise a weapon. She didn’t speak. The wolves did her work for her — loyal, rabid, and unafraid to die.“They’re not just attacking,” Evelyn shouted to Logan. “They’re testing us.”Logan snarled, throwing one wolf off the edge with a brutal swip

  • The Full Moon Murders    Chapter Sixty Eight — Split Blood

    The plan was simple.But nothing ever stayed simple for long.Evelyn adjusted the straps of her tactical vest, staring at the blueprint spread across the table. Logan stood beside her, checking his weapons in silence. The Circle's lab where Mason was being held was buried beneath an old military hospital — off-grid, abandoned, and swarming with armed guards who didn’t blink like normal people.“He’s on sub-level three,” Logan said, tapping the map. “Guard rotation’s light between 2 and 2:15 a.m. We’ve got a window of seven minutes before the next shift rolls in.”Evelyn nodded. “Seven minutes to get in, extract him, and get the hell out. No alarms. No mistakes.”Logan looked at her, his eyes flickering with wolf heat. “You sure you’re ready for this?”She met his gaze. “I’m not letting them keep him. Not again.”Damian stood at the edge of the city, where steel gave way to trees and memories he’d buried long ago.The message had come an hour ago: Come alone. Or she dies.No name. No l

  • The Full Moon Murders    Chapter Sixty Seven— Trust No One

    They stared at Damian.The basement lights flickered, casting shadows across his face—too calm, too composed for a man who claimed he hadn’t led them into a trap.“Tell me that message’s wrong,” Evelyn said, her voice low.Damian didn’t answer right away. He didn’t look away, either.“I told you I left them,” he said finally. “But no one ever really leaves the Circle.”Logan raised his gun. “Start talking.”“I bought us time. That’s it.” Damian’s eyes shifted toward the ceiling. “They wanted blood. I gave them a trail. An old one. I thought it would keep them off you.”“You thought wrong,” Mason growled.Outside, the howls had stopped.Worse than sound was silence. It meant they were circling.“They’re not coming for me,” Damian said, gaze now locked on Evelyn. “They’re here for you.”Evelyn froze.“What?”Damian took a slow step forward. “You’re not just a threat. You’re the only thing left they can’t control. Rhodes doesn’t want you dead. She wants you changed.”“No.” Evelyn shook h
