The Last Wolfe Chapter 39: The Warning
The morning was quiet. Too quiet.Raven sat on the couch, her knees pulled to her chest, her phone in her hand. Fenris was beside her, his arm draped over her shoulders, his thumb tracing lazy circles on her arm. They had not spoken much since the night before. There was nothing left to say. Everything had been said. Everything had been broken. Everything had been rebuilt.But the silence was not peaceful. It was waiting.She knew something was coming. She could feel it. The air was thick with it. The calm before the storm.Her phone buzzed.She looked at the screen. An unknown number. She hesitated. She almost did not answer."Raven."The voice on the other end was smooth. Calculated. Familiar. She had only heard it once before, but she would never forget it.Dante Vlad.Her blood ran cold. Her hand tightened around the phone."Mr. Vlad.""I would like to invite you to dinner tonight. At my home. There is something we need to discuss.""Discuss?""Yes. About my son. About your relati
The Last Wolfe Chapter 38: The Truth
The drive to Harvey's apartment felt longer than it was.Fenris gripped the steering wheel so hard his knuckles went white. The city blurred past him. The lights smeared into streaks of gold and red. He did not see any of it. He saw only Harvey's face. He heard only Harvey's voice. He replayed the phone call over and over in his head.He knows we were together last night.He knows you stayed.He knows everything.He parked outside Harvey's building. He did not bother with the parking lot. He left the car in the middle of the street. He walked through the lobby. He did not wait for the elevator. He took the stairs. Three floors. Two at a time. His heart was pounding. His hands were shaking.He pushed open the door to Harvey's apartment. It was unlocked. Harvey was sitting on the couch, a glass of wine in his hand, his gray eyes calm. He looked like he had been waiting."Fenris," he said. "I was wondering when you would get here.""Tell me it is not true.""Tell you what is not true?""
The Last Wolfe chapter 37: Aftermath
The morning light was gray and thin, slipping through the blinds like water through cracked glass. Raven lay still, her cheek pressed against Fenris's chest, his arm wrapped around her waist. His heartbeat was steady beneath her ear. Slow. Calm. Alive. She did not move. She did not want to wake him. She did not want to break whatever fragile thing had settled between them in the night. He had held her like she was the only thing keeping him alive. He had whispered her name like a prayer. He had kissed her forehead, her cheek, her lips. Soft. Tender. Like he was afraid she would disappear. She had stayed. She had held him back. She had let herself be held. But the weight of everything else was still there. The fire. The bodies. The truth. The USB drive. The proof. The knowledge that the man holding her had killed her parents. She closed her eyes. She tried to push it away. She could not. She slipped out of bed. Her feet touched the cold floor. She grabbed his shirt from the chair
The Last Wolfe chapter 36: The Punishment
She was home for less than an hour when the door flew open.Not knocked. Not unlocked. Open. The wood slammed against the wall. The sound cracked through the silence like a gunshot. The frame splintered. The lock broke. She did not care. She could not care. She was already on her feet, her heart slamming against her ribs, her breath caught in her throat.She knew who it was before she saw him. She felt him before she saw him. The air changed. Grew colder. Thicker. Heavy with something that felt like rage and grief and betrayal all tangled together. She had never felt anything like it. She had never seen anything like it.Fenris stood in the doorway. His chest heaved. His hands were fists at his sides. His gray eyes were black. Not cold. Not controlled. Something else. Something she had never seen before. Something that looked like a man who had already snapped. A man who had already broken. A man who had nothing left to lose.He did not speak. He walked toward her. Each step was delib
The Last Wolfe Chapter 34: The Price
The apartment was dark.Not the darkness of night. Something worse. Something chosen.Heavy curtains swallowed the city. No lamps. No mercy of ordinary light. Only a single candle on the table, its flame bending with the draft when she opened the door. The shadows it threw were wrong. Too long. Too restless. Crawling up the walls like they were alive.Raven stood just inside the threshold. Her back pressed against the cold wood. Her hands were fists she didn’t remember making.Harvey didn’t look at her.He crossed the room to the table, picked up a glass of wine, and drank like she wasn’t there. Like she was furniture. Like she was already his.She hated that most of all.“You’re shaking,” he said.“I’m cold.”“It’s warm in here.”She said nothing. Because it was warm. Because she wasn’t cold at all.He set the glass down and turned. His gray eyes moved over her the way a man reads a contract. Looking for what it might cost him.“You know why you’re here.”“Yes.”“You know what I expe
The Last Wolfe Chapter 33: The Countdown
She did not remember driving home.The streets blurred past her windows. Headlights smeared into streaks of gold and white. Her hands were steady on the wheel. Her heart was not. She parked. She walked up the stairs. She unlocked her door. She sat on the floor.Her back was against the wall. Her knees were pulled to her chest. Her hands were shaking.She looked at her phone.No messages from Fenris.Twelve days.She had stopped counting the hours. She had stopped hoping. He was gone. He was not coming back. She did not know if he was ignoring her. She did not know if he was hurt. She did not know if he was dead.She did not know anything anymore.But she knew one thing.Harvey was not going to let her go.She thought about Sasha.Her best friend. The only person who had stood by her. The only person who knew the truth. The only person who had held her while she cried.She could not let Harvey hurt her.She thought about the photograph on his phone. Sasha, walking out of her apartment
The Last Wolfe Chapter 9: The Private Event
The call came on a Thursday evening, three days after the office visit. Raven was sitting on her couch, still in her work clothes, a glass of wine in one hand and a cold slice of pizza in the other. She had been staring at the wall for an hour. Her phone buzzed. An unknown number. She almost ignor
The Last Wolfe Chapter 8: Unknown Visit
The morning had started like any other. Raven sat at her desk, staring at a spreadsheet that refused to make sense, her coffee cold and bitter in the cup beside her keyboard. The office was quiet, the usual hum of conversation muted by the early hour. She had been here since seven, trying to catch
The Last Wolfe Chapter 7: The Second Meeting
The coffee shop was small and narrow, wedged between a laundromat and a shuttered bookstore on a street that had seen better days. The windows were streaked with condensation, and the air inside smelled like roasted beans and stale pastry. A bell jingled overhead every time the door opened, which w
The Last Wolfe Chapter 6: The Hunt continues
Raven Wolfe sat on her couch, her laptop open on the coffee table, a stack of old case files spread across the floor. The apartment was dark except for the glow of the screen and the faint light filtering through the window from the streetlamp outside. It was past midnight. She had been at this for
