LOGIN"Admit what you did to my wolf, Matriarch Kadinu, or I tear every single Silverclaw boundary marker out of the dirt and burn your pack house to the ground," Magnus Saltwood growled, his golden Alpha eyes flashing as his large, calloused hand tightened around mine.I sat right beside him on the heavy carved leather seat, my skin burning everywhere his fingers touched me.Kadinu stood trembling in the middle of the Alpha Citadel, her face completely pale as Beta Commander Garrick Wolfhart held another stack of pack property deeds directly over the flaming iron brazier."I... I planned all of it," Kadinu choked out, her knees shaking hard while the Saltwood warriors glared down at her. "When Nyla refused to give up her dead mother's sacred Luna chest to Silverclaw Alpha Holdings, I knew I had to ruin her name. If everyone thought she was just an unfaithful rogue lover, Elder Osric would strip her blood rights for good.""Keep talking," Magnus commanded, his voice dark, smooth, and full o
"Say it with your own mouth, Matriarch Kadinu, or I burn the rest of your pack's hunting grounds to ash," Magnus Saltwood growled, his golden Alpha eyes narrowing as he tightened his grip on my hand.I sat beside him on the heavy carved leather seat, my skin still tingling where his fingers pressed against mine.Kadinu stood trembling in the center of the Alpha Citadel, her face completely drained of color as Beta Commander Garrick Wolfhart held another stack of ancestral property deeds over the flaming iron brazier."I... I arranged it all," Kadinu choked out, her voice shaking violently as she looked at the surrounding Saltwood warriors. "When Nyla refused to surrender her mother's sacred Luna chest to the Silverclaw Alpha Holdings, I knew we had to destroy her standing. If she was branded a unfaithful rogue lover, Elder Osric would strip her bloodline rights.""Go on," Magnus commanded, his tone smooth, dangerous, and completely devoid of mercy. "Tell my pack what you gave to Kael
"It was yellow snake grass laced with mountain wolfsbane," Healer Wills said, packing her silver needles back into her leather kit. "It locks the vocal cords and suppresses her internal wolf so she cannot shift, but the paralysis fades as her blood purges the toxin."Magnus Saltwood nodded once, his golden eyes cold as glacier ice as he signaled Beta Commander Garrick Wolfhart to escort the healer out of the Alpha Citadel.When the heavy oak door clicked shut, the chamber fell dead silent.Nyla Ravensalt lay still beneath the heavy furs on the massive carved bed, her breathing slow and steady, her pale skin still holding a faint, rosy flush from the lingering heat.Magnus stood watching her for a long beat. He turned without a word and walked into the adjoining washroom.A few seconds later, the rush of cold spring water echoed from the stone basin.Nyla fluttered her dark lashes open, her gaze tracking his towering shadow as he re-entered the bedchamber."You need to cool your blood
"Who dared to touch my mate?" I snarled, the sound ripping from my throat before I could stop it."She was drugged, Supreme Alpha," Beta Commander Garrick Wolfhart said, dragging the half-conscious rogue across the marble floor of the Saltwood Alpha Keep. "The Ravensalt Elders tried to sell her to Dennis before the banquet fell apart."My blood boiled, the Primordial Wolf inside me clawing to break free and shred every single one of them to pieces."Get him out of my sight and lock him in the silver cells," I barked. "I will tear his throat out myself after I handle this."Garrick bowed his head instantly. "At once, Alpha Magnus."I turned on my heel and slammed the heavy oak door of the master suite shut, shutting out the rest of the pack.Nyla lay curled on the massive bed, her skin flushed dark crimson as the cheap aphrodisiac burned through her veins."I need... water," she gasped out, her voice barely a scratchy whisper as her vocal cords buckled under the heat."Stay still," I g
"It is Supreme Alpha Lord Magnus of the Saltwood Moonfang Pack!"The chaotic roar inside the Saltwood Alpha Keep instantly died, the air thick with tension as the crowd parted like frightened cattle. At the end of the grand hall, a imposing silhouette stepped into the torchlight, radiating pure, suffocating Alpha power.My entire body shuddered, my vision blurring as my golden eyes widened.Magnus Saltwood walked with deliberate, predatory speed. His dark, almond-shaped eyes burned like cold midnight jade, his arched brow sharp enough to cut through glass. Behind him stood Beta Commander Garrick, flanked by heavily armed Saltwood pack enforcers who sealed the grand entrance. Garrick stepped forward alone, delivering a golden ceremonial offering to the pack steward before falling back."Supreme Alpha Lord Magnus... why is he here?" a low-ranking wolf whispered, his voice trembling across the stone hall. "He never attends ancestral gatherings outside his own territory!"The entire assem
Matriarch Osric stood frozen, her golden elder staff trembling in her hand as Kadinu’s face turned completely bloodless."What ridiculous lies are you barking, Nyla?" Kadinu shrieked, her claws extending slightly in panic. "I never—""Grandmother," Nyla cut in, her voice cold and steady despite the chaos around her. "Ronan and I were never meant for each other. The mate bond died long ago, so there is no reason for you to press the Saltbane elders on my behalf."Matriarch Osric narrowed her eyes, casting a sharp, suspicious look at Kadinu. "Did this bitter old wolf threaten your bloodline to force those words out of your mouth?"Nyla simply offered a faint, bitter smile, remaining completely silent.Kadinu’s temper flared instant fire. "Nyla! What are you playing at? You came to this hall claiming you wanted to clear the air with Matriarch Osric so she would stop punishing our lineage! Have you lost your mind?""Clear the air?" Nyla curled her lips, her golden eyes flashing with icy d
Nyla Ravensalt POV"Hey, where do you think you are going?" Selene Thornmoon sneers, stepping right in front of me.I do not want to see her ugly face. She always tries to fight with me since we are pups. I just pull out my small leather pouch to pay the barkeep for my fire-water so I can leave thi
"We can break the bond," I say, "but I want the three smaller packs that the Ashclaw Pack just took over. Give them to me as payment!""What? You are crazy!" Alaric screams before anyone else can talk.I look at my father with cold eyes. "We are not even mated, and you are already helping them keep
Nyla Ravensalt POV"You made the pack guards drag my family to the Alpha Council, so you come with us right now!" the huge guard barked.I don’t care. I sit in the grey room of the Grand Wolf Assembly and stare at the stone floor. My hands are cold. I am the one who called the guards on Ronan Ashcl
Nyla Ravensalt POV"Open the door right now!" I shout. My hand hits the thick wood of the room inside the Moonfang Fortress."Hold on, I am coming!" a boy yells from inside.My heart hits my chest fast. I hold the small box of runic herbs tightly. I am just an Omega Courier. I need this pay to buy
