The gates swung open without a sound.

Whatever I'd expected — guards checking IDs, intercoms crackling, some kind of security protocol — it wasn't this. The wolves at the gate simply stepped aside and bowed their heads as our convoy rolled through, their eyes tracking Fao through the tinted windows like he was a comet streaking across the sky.

Beyond the gates, the compound opened up.

It was bigger than I'd imagined. The main lodge dominated the center — that massive timber-and-stone str

    FAOThe council chamber was smaller than I expected.I'd imagined something grand — a throne room, maybe, with vaulted ceilings and ancient tapestries. Instead, Corvin led me to a warmly lit study on the ground floor of the lodge, where a round table sat surrounded by chairs. No head of the table. No throne. Just equals, gathered to discuss."Your father hated ceremony," Sylvia said, noting my surprise as I entered. "He said decisions made in comfort were better than decisions made in posturing. He had this room designed specifically for council meetings."I didn't know what to do with that — this small detail about a man I couldn't remember. I filed it away with all the others.Six people sat around the table. Sylvia at the center, her sons Declan and Ronan flanking her. An older man with a scarred face and missing fingers — a warrior, clearly. A younger woman with ink-black hair and clever eyes. And a man about my age, watching me with an unreadable expression."Please," Sylvia said

    "I'm not—" Fao stopped, swallowed. "I don't know how to be what you need. I spent twenty-one years as a rogue. I don't know your laws, your customs, your history. I don't know anything.""You'll learn," Sylvia said simply. "And until you do, we'll guide you. That's what pack is for.""But I'm not— I've never led anyone. I've never even been with anyone until—" He glanced at me, then away. "I don't know how to be an Alpha.""Your father didn't either, at first." Sylvia's expression softened. "Fenris was young when he took over. Hot-headed. Impulsive. He made mistakes. But he learned, and he became the greatest Alpha our people had known in centuries." She stepped closer, her voice dropping so only we could hear. "You have his eyes. His jaw. His stubborn chin. You'll find your way, Fao. You're his son."Something flickered across Fao's face — pain, longing, grief for a man he couldn't remember."The Alpha needs rest," a voice cut in. Thalia, stepping forward from where she'd emerged fro

    ELOWENThe gates swung open without a sound.Whatever I'd expected — guards checking IDs, intercoms crackling, some kind of security protocol — it wasn't this. The wolves at the gate simply stepped aside and bowed their heads as our convoy rolled through, their eyes tracking Fao through the tinted windows like he was a comet streaking across the sky.Beyond the gates, the compound opened up.It was bigger than I'd imagined. The main lodge dominated the center — that massive timber-and-stone structure I'd glimpsed from the road — but around it spread a small village. Cabins dotted the hillsides, connected by stone pathways. Training grounds sprawled to the east, obstacle courses and sparring rings visible even from here. To the west, what looked like stables and equipment sheds. Gardens, greenhouses, a building that might have been a school.And everywhere — everywhere — wolves.Some in human form, stepping out of cabins and pausing on pathways to watch us pass. Some in wolf form, emer

    FAOWe reached the ranch at dawn.The road wound up into the mountains, through dense pine forest that reminded me painfully of the woods around Elowen's cabin. The same quality of dark between the trees, the same way the light came in at angles through the canopy. But these woods were different. I could smell wolves everywhere. Territory markers. Pack scent layered so deep into the land it had become the land. Home, something in my chest whispered, even though I'd never been here before.The walls came first.They rose out of the forest like they'd grown there, stone and timber, thirty feet high, covered in moss and creeping vines where the trees pressed close. You could almost miss them if you weren't looking. Almost believe they were just another ridge in the mountain landscape, another fold in the terrain. The kind of thing a hiker would photograph and post and never think twice about.But we were looking. And the walls went on for miles."The entire mountain is enclosed," Corvin

    At the second stop, I borrowed Thalia's phone.Rowan first. It went to voicemail — probably because she didn't recognize the number."Row, it's me. I'm okay. I know you've probably seen the news by now and you're freaking out, but I'm okay. I'm... I had to leave town for a while. It's complicated. I'll explain everything when I can, I promise. Just... please don't worry. And don't tell anyone you heard from me. I love you. I'll call again soon."My parents next. My mother answered on the first ring."Hello? Who is this?""Mom. It's me."The sound she made — half sob, half scream — nearly broke me."Elowen Marie Walsh, where the hell are you? We saw the news — your cabin — they said there was a fire, they said—""I'm okay, Mom. I'm safe. I'm with Fao.""With— the boyfriend? Elowen, what is going on? The police came to our door asking questions, they said there were signs of a struggle, they said—""Mom." I closed my eyes, leaning against the side of the SUV. Fao stood beside me, close

    "We're done," Fao said.They turned back, eyes carefully neutral, as if they hadn't just witnessed their Alpha dressing his wounded human mate in a parking lot in the middle of nowhere."They thought of everything," I murmured as Fao carried me to the open back of the SUV."They've been waiting twenty-one years to bring their Alpha home," Thalia said, climbing into the front passenger seat. "They weren't going to half-ass it."Fao lifted me carefully into the back, then climbed in after me, arranging us so my wounded leg was elevated on pillows and his body curved protectively around mine."Eight more hours," he said quietly. "Try to sleep.""I've been sleeping all day. You haven't slept at all.""I'm fine.""You're not fine. You're running on adrenaline and stubbornness." I turned to look at him — really look at him. The dark circles under his eyes. The tension in his jaw. The way his hands still trembled slightly when he thought I wasn't watching. "Fao, you need to rest.""I need to
