* Alpha Archer *

I was up earlier than usual. The morning light had already slanted through the high windows of the council hall as I walked in. With thin and cold, glinting off the silver crest of the Western Pack carved into the stone wall. My wolves stood in the shadows below, Beta Kael and Beta Aldin, both of them were silent, both waiting for a word from me.

I held the messenger's scroll which was still warm in my hand, sealed with the crimson wax of the Alpha King's sigil. It was a message for me before we left for the summit. I quickly broke it open the moment it arrived, with the scent of foreign ink still sharp.

"To the Alpha of the Western Pack,

You are hereby reminded that each Alpha attending the Summit is permitted to be accompanied by one Beta only. Exceptions shall not be granted by the Alpha King. The presence of multiple Betas will be seen as a violation of the pact of equality among other regions.

Signed, Alpha King Zed of the Royal pack."

Alpha King Zed. Of course!

    * Regin *Morning came awfully quiet in the wild pack. The mist clung low to the ground, threading itself between tents and trees as if trying to stitch the land back together. It failed. The earth still smelled of blood and iron, of fear burned away by defiance. I rose before the sun fully cleared the ridge, pain sharp and immediate, my body protesting every movement. Rowan had bound me well, but wounds remember as they slowly heal.So did I. I walked the camp slowly, deliberately. An Alpha who hid after a battle would lose more than respect, I would lose belief."Rotate the watch," I ordered a pair of sentries as I passed. "No more than four hours each. Anyone limping sits out."They nodded and obeyed without question. That still startled me.Near the central fire, Elias knelt beside two warriors arguing in low, bitter voices. One accused the other of breaking formation. The other claimed he'd been dragged out of line."Enough you two! I said.They both snapped to attention.I crouc

    * Regina *The enemies came at dawn, not with ceremony or with horns or banners raised in honor. They came like wolves who believed the kill was already theirs, slipping through fog, spreading wide, confident that the Wild Pack would break the way rogues always had.They underestimated what hunger had taught us. The first scream ripped through the trees just as the sun crested the ridge. But it was not one of ours.I was already moving towards defending my pack. The ground shook beneath pounding paws as my warriors surged from the ravines and thickets exactly where I'd ordered them to wait. Arrows whistled from above, not meant to kill but to scatter and to confuse. The enemy lines faltered, just for a breath. They never expected we could make such a move."Now!" I roared.We hit them like a storm breaking its leash. Steel met claw and bone met bone. The world narrowed to the sound and blood. I felt the weight of my pack behind me, every step a vow I could not break. I shifted mid-str

    * Regina *War is common in every wolf pack, and that is why every Alpha needs to be strong. My warriors and the others in the pack rely on me as the leader.But I have not anticipated that war would come to our pack too soon. Just when we were all busy with getting ready to pass the Alpha Kings evaluation.I felt it before the scouts in my pack returned. Before Rowan stiffened at my side. And before Elias stopped correcting a trainee mid-spar and turned his head toward the northern ridge like he'd heard a voice only he could hear.The Wild Pack's territory has learned my footsteps by now. The former rogues no longer scatter when I pass, no longer lower their eyes in fear or challenge. They straighten. They wait for my command. They watch me like wolves who have decided that this one is ours.That knowledge should have comforted me. Instead, it weighed heavily on my spine. Working my best to live up to their expectations.Rowan approached with a rolled hide map under his arm, with his

    * Alpha Archer *The Western pack did not change while I was gone. It was the lie I told myself as my horse crossed the border stones and my land rose to meet me, familiar ridgelines, the same watchtowers cut from dark stone, the same banners stirring in the wind. Everything was as it should be.And yet, the moment my boots touched the ground, I felt it. I was late to my own life. This place is far from Regina."Alpha," a warrior greeted, with his fist to his chest.I returned the gesture automatically, my gaze already drifting past him, past the gates, toward the eastern tree line as if I might still catch the echo of her presence there. As if Regina might step out of shadow and fire and tell me I had miscounted the hours.She didn't, of course, she won't. She is just too far from me right now. By the time I reached the main hall, the council chamber was already alive with low voices and scratching quills. The scent of ink and parchment replaced pine smoke and earth. Duty, thick and

    * Regina *The morning came without delay, the way it only ever did after blood had almost been spilled the night before.The forest breathed instead of growling. No alarms on the patrol. No tension riding my spine. Just the low murmur of my pack waking, the distant crackle of embers being stirred back to life, and the pale gold of dawn filtering through the shutters of my quarters.I woke alone. For half a heartbeat, instinct flared, my hand reaching for the space beside me, before memory settled in. Alpha Archer had left before sunrise. Of course, he had to go back to his pack in the West. He never stayed longer than he believed he should even when every part of him wanted to.The bed still held his warmth. I lay there longer than I usually allowed myself to, staring at the ceiling beams, letting the quiet sink into my bones. My wolf stirred lazily, content in a way that felt unfamiliar and dangerous. Not careless or weak. Just, full.It was when I finally pushed myself upright that

    * Alpha Archer *I had faced armies without my pulse changing, just one look from me, and any warrior who didn't have Alpha blood would crumble. I had broken Alphas and watched kings kneel. But none of that prepared me for the way Regina stood in the firelight tonight.She didn't look at me when I stepped forward. She was focused on the enemies. Her spine was straight, her chin lifted, her shoulders squared in command. The flames painted her skin in gold and shadow, tracing the curve of her throat, the line of her jaw, the quiet, lethal grace in every breath she took.She was beautiful before even as an omega, I had always known that. But this, this was something else entirely. This was an Alpha who had earned her ground with blood and restraint and will. A woman whose warriors would die for her because she had taught them how to stand on their own feet without fear.The southern wolves hadn't seen it. They'd looked at her and seen history. A story they thought they understood. I saw
