LOGINAs Sebas’ snuffed-out presence erased Paloma’s scent, his golden wolf eyes bled red. The first sign of berserk.
The soldiers holding him staggered back as Sebas roared, the sound tearing through the Redborne mansion like a war horn.The ballroom erupted. Guests fled in panic, trampling over each other to escape. But those who’d already tasted Paloma’s scent remained frozen, unwilling, or unable, to leave.Among them stood five alphas from different packs, unmoving. Osphious FurtoThey reached Howlinghaven as the night’s last edge began to thin.Healers who could still stand met them at the inner gate and took Shaina at once, cleaning bite wounds, stitching the worst tears, and settling her into a recovery ward under close watch. Matthias refused to leave the doorway until the first bandages were secure. Liliana stayed long enough to see her mother’s breathing even out, then stepped back into the corridor where the work of the facility was already shifting from crisis to repair.Redborne men and remaining Silvershade staff cleared rubble from the broken courtyard, braced damaged doors, and began boarding the sections of wall the berserkers had torn open. Tools rang against stone. Orders moved back and forth in short, practical bursts. The dead had been covered and set aside, while the living kept their hands busy.In a quieter stretch of hallway Matthias and Liliana spoke in low voices.“That ledge,” Matthias said. “They were on us b
They finally closed the distance as the last strip of daylight thinned along the ridge.Liliana’s lycan form already carried wounds, deep claw lines across one shoulder and a puncture along her side that leaked silver-dark blood into her fur. Ahead of them the ledge opened into a wider shelf of broken stone, and there Shaina fought alone against three berserkers.She was still on her feet, but only just. Bite marks showed on her arm and along her ribs. Her movements stayed sharp with soother-trained precision, yet each exchange forced her a step closer to the drop. The berserkers pressed without strategy, all rage and weight, and the smell of her blood only made them hungrier.Matthias did not slow.He launched across the remaining ground and hit the first two like a collapsing wall, massive lycan hands locking around throats and shoulders, hauling them off Shaina in a single violent motion. Bone and muscle strained under his grip as he drove both crea
Matthias’s phone rang while the weight of the Blacklore conversation still hung in the office.He answered on the second tone. Shaina’s voice came through ragged, wind and movement under every word.“The facility....Howlinghaven....attacked. Some of the berserkers broke out. They’re after me. I’m running-”Matthias’s reaction was immediate and violent. A growl tore out of his chest, low and continuous, golden eyes flashing as his free hand clenched hard enough to creak the phone casing.“Where are you. Keep moving. We’re coming.”Liliana was already on her feet. She pulled out her own phone and called the Mist elite channel while her father kept Shaina on the line.“All units to Howlinghaven. Full rescue. Now.”She had barely finished the order when Shaina’s call cut off mid-breath. Matthias redialed at once. The line rang into empty silence. He tried again. Nothing.They were moving before the third attempt failed, out of the office, down the private
>>>Back at Redborne territory.Liliana returned to Redridge and went straight into the meeting room.Mist and SIN scouts were already waiting, and maps and short written summaries covered the table. Once she had taken her seat, she nodded for them to begin.The first scout spoke without preamble.“Three carriages of toddlers left Lowlith Falls while you were away. One headed toward Blacklore territory. The other two entered Purplefang and were taken into an auction house.”A second scout picked up from there without pause.“The hybrid newborn you told us to track was moved separately. Destination falls under High Council jurisdiction. The elder’s name is still unknown, but the location is confirmed Council ground.”Liliana’s fingers tightened once on the edge of the table, then relaxed as she moved to the next point.“The rescued females?”“Seven now,” another scout answered. “They’re in the secondary building. Laclam is handling their rec
>>>Blacklore territory. Ruben's Perspective.Ruben finalized the placement himself.When the male omega met every standard on the checklist, Ruben loaded him into a plain dark car and drove across the border into Purplefang territory. Neutral ground. No one there would look twice at a Blacklore vehicle or ask why it had come.He parked a short distance from the auction house and turned in his seat.“The elder is inside. When he steps out, you will walk past the entrance and collide with him. Make it look accidental. After that you follow his lead. Nothing more.”The omega nodded once. His face had been coached into the right degree of uncertainty. He stepped out of the car and moved toward the building with slow, slightly unsteady steps, the picture of someone fragile and easily overlooked. The Blacklore crest was small but visible on the breast of his shirt, exactly where it needed to be seen.Ruben stayed behind the wheel and watched.
>>>Blacklore territory. Ruben's Perspective.The following three days turned the special training room into a closed circuit of instruction and repetition.Ruben no longer gave the omega release as a reward. Instead he sat or lay as the target and required the young male to deliver every sensation himself.“Begin,” Ruben said on the first morning, already bare from the waist down, seated at the edge of the bed. “Mouth only. Slow.”The omega knelt between his knees, took the half-hard cock between his lips, and tried to copy the pace he had been shown. Wet heat closed around the shaft. Almost at once a soft moan slipped out of him.Ruben’s hand settled on the back of his head, not pushing, only still.“No sound. You give what is asked. If the target has not requested a responsive mouth, you stay silent. Again.”The omega adjusted, sealed his lips tighter, and worked in measured strokes. Tongue flat along the underside, suction steady, depth increas
Shaina returned home after her week away, and the moment Matthias heard she was back, he left everything and rushed to the mansion. They spent the next few days locked in their bedroom, barely coming out. He fucked her hard and deep every chance he got, making up for lost time. Shaina submitted c
After Richard had fully used Paloma, he leaned back in the chair with a satisfied grunt. He fixed his clothes quickly, then gave her ass a sharp slap. With a grin, he slid two fingers back into her dripping pussy, scooping up his own thick cum. He brought them to her lips and pushed them inside.
On the third day apart from Shaina, Matthias felt the emptiness like a constant ache in his chest. His wolf paced restlessly inside him, craving her touch, her warmth, the way she always submitted so perfectly to him. Work at Redborne Tower dragged on, and every quiet moment made the mate bond pu
Since Liliana was born, Shaina and Matthias had become very busy with pack duties and business. But they always made sure to set aside time for their family. They ate dinner together most nights. They read stories to Liliana before bed. And on quiet mornings, the three of them would walk in the
