~AT A SECRET LAIR~

The room was small and it smelled of wood and concrete mixed together. There was a narrow bed pushed against one side of the wall, a wooden table in the center, and a single window so high up near the ceiling that even a grown man standing on his toes could barely reach the ledge. The light that came through it was pale and dim, the kind that would give no real information about what time of day it was or where in the world you might be.

    Zane didn't leave. He stood exactly where he was, his arms still crossed. His eyes remained on Milan, who had already turned back to his desk and picked up one of the papers as though the conversation had ended.But to Zane, the conversation wasn't over.Milan looked up after a short while, and realized Zane was still standing there. "What are you still standing there for?" He asked him."I'm waiting for an answer, Milan." Zane replied, intertwining his hands behind his back."I gave you one." Milan shrugged, his hands in the air, and Zane crossed his arms against his chest once again."You told me to figure it out." Zane uncrossed his arms and took a step toward the desk. "I'm telling you I've run out of options. I've tried everything I can think of. Vera has tried, but the boy just wouldn't budge." He shook his head. "That's why I'm asking you again. What's the plan? What do we actually do about him?"Milan set the paper back on the desk. He leaned back in his chair and stared at Z

    ~AT A SECRET LAIR~The room was small and it smelled of wood and concrete mixed together. There was a narrow bed pushed against one side of the wall, a wooden table in the center, and a single window so high up near the ceiling that even a grown man standing on his toes could barely reach the ledge. The light that came through it was pale and dim, the kind that would give no real information about what time of day it was or where in the world you might be.Little Jake sat in the far corner of the room, his small knees drawn up to his chest, his back pressed hard against the wall like he was trying to push himself through it.He heard the lock before he heard the door. The bolt scraped back with a sound that had become the most frightening sound in his world, and he shrank further into the corner, pulling himself as small as he could go, his wide eyes fixed on the door as it swung inward, and Vera stepped through.She was a young maid, not really taller than some of the older children

    Mother's words hung in the air of the court like smoke that refused to clear anytime soon.She stood in front of the council, trembling. Her swollen eyes were fixated on Alpha Jackson with a desperation that had nowhere left to go. She had asked the only question she had carried all the way there, through the gates, past the guards, and through every hand that had tried to stop her.“Please tell me they are alive.” She repeated, her voice pleading.Alpha Jackson stared at her for a long moment, and then he finally spoke."If I knew where they were, I would have brought them back by now, wouldn't I?" He replied, his tone, completely flat and unbothered.Rather than seeing the cry of a woman who was being torn apart at the seams, he spoke as if the question she had asked him was reeking of inconvenience.She blinked as she tried to process her next words. "Then why?" She began, her voice still barely above a whisper, "Why have I heard nothing? Not a single word. Not one update. Not eve

    "Guards!" Alpha Jackson's voice cut through the noise like a warrior's sword, sharp and commanding, hitting off the walls of the court with authority that left no room for delay.The heavy doors swung open almost immediately, and one of the outer guards stepped inside, shutting the doors firmly behind him. The muffled chaos from the corridor didn't quiet down completely, because the voice outside was too determined and fierce to be silenced just like that. Instead, it kept pushing through the thick walls and doors, refusing to be stopped by either."LET ME IN! I AM NOT LEAVING! NOT WITHOUT SEEING THE ALPHA. YOU HEAR ME? I’M NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITHOUT SEEING HIM!" The voice kept yelling.The guard who had entered bowed deeply, with his eyes facing the ground. The elders stared at him and noticed there was a fresh scratch along his forearm that had not been there before. They immediately knew that whoever was on the other side of those doors had not made his job easy."Yes, Alpha." He

    The silence that followed Alpha Jackson's outburst was deafening as the elders took their seats silently one after another. None of them moved or said anything afterwards. They didn't so much as shift in their seats or draw a breath loud enough to be heard. The nine of them sat perfectly still, like culprits caught in the act.Alpha Jackson stood at the head of the table, his chest rising and falling with controlled fury, his hands pressed flat against the table’s surface. The fury in his eyes now was palpable, the dark brown in them completely swallowed by the unmistakable glow that every wolf in the room recognized without needing to be told what it meant.His wolf was right at the surface."How dare you!" His growl came out low, and they all knew that they didn't need a soothsayer to tell them that that was worse. "How dare all of you sit in this court and speak to me in such a disrespectful manner."He pulled himself to his full height, his eyes slowly sweeping through the room l

    The guards in the hallway snapped to attention the moment Alpha Jackson's voice cut through the corridor.There were five of them stationed at varying points along the passage, and within seconds, all five had closed the distance and assembled before him, their heads bowed and necks tilted in immediate submission, awaiting orders from him.He didn't waste time at all. His eyes swept across them quickly, assessing not just their faces, but their posture, their alertness, and the readiness behind their eyes."You." He pointed to the first guard on his left, a broad-shouldered male he recognized as one of the more level-headed members of the inner patrol. "I need the cleaners organized and sent to my study immediately. Don't let them drag their feet. The room is a mess. I want it dealt with before I return.""Yes, Alpha." The guard straightened and moved without hesitation.Jackson's gaze slid to the second guard. "You. Get the head maid and whoever she needs and send them to the spare r
