WICKED PROVIDENCE 144
The mocking laughter of the Montgomery sycophants grew harsher. Several high-ranking lupines looked at Avery as if she were a rogue found scavenging in their trash."It turns the stomach to share the same scent-space with a pup-thief and her exile mother.""Can the Enforcers not drag them out of the Silver Ridge before they stain the floors?"Paying no heed to the taunts of the clueless onlookers, Avery calmly pulled out her communication stone. She flicked through the projection album until she found the digital Blood-Seal certificate for an emerald-encrusted torque she had recently acquired. The document verified a purchase price that tripled the value of the trinket Evelyn was flaunting.Avery raised her voice, the resonance of a natural leader silencing the room. "The authentication rune on this seal is registered with the High Council. If you doubt the wealth of my house, verify it here and now. My wolf does not need to growl over scraps."Avery presented the shimmering projectio

Exhausted, Avery Monroe collapsed onto the heavy furs of the sofa.Miranda Shaw, having completed the patrol of the silver-lined perimeter, returned to the sanctum. She couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for Avery’s ragged scent. “Avery, I know the Alpha-strain is heavy, but if you let your spirit break, Madison will catch the scent of your fear,” Miranda remarked, referring to Avery’s young pup.Avery inhaled deeply, the smell of pine and old parchment filling her lungs. “You’re right. But how can I possibly maintain my dominance with Tyrone missing and the trackers finding nothing but cold stone?”Miranda placed a thick, wax-sealed envelope on the low table. “A messenger brought this. Please, look at it, then surrender to the sleep of the moon.”With a slight frown, Avery broke the seal. Inside was a heavy card embossed with the crest of the Martel Pack. They were requesting the "High Sovereign of the Trade-Halls" to attend their Great Lunar Banquet.This left Avery feeling p

The scent of blood and sweat in the Apex Suite was suffocating. Avery’s face went bone-pale; she hadn't anticipated Madison would be so feral. The sanctum quickly descended into a blur of fur and fangs.Despite having her own elite pack-guards, Avery found them overwhelmed by the sheer number of Madison’s frenzied followers. In the chaos, a rogue wolf seized the opportunity to lunge at Avery, grabbing her by the hair with a snarl, intending to drag her from the wheelchair to the cold stone floor.Avery struggled, her muscles coiling as she was yanked down. Though her mending legs made standing impossible, her years of survival training took over. Even from the floor, she used her leverage to disable several attackers, her strikes precise and lethal despite the disadvantage.The situation was spiraling toward a massacre. To ensure the privacy of High-Blood deals, the Apex Suite was shielded from the hall’s magical surveillance orbs.The mob acted out of a dark cocktail of motives. Some

Madison Clarke—Grant Lawson’s intended mate—snarled with a misplaced confidence. "The scent doesn't lie, Charlotte. I came here to drag this stray out by her throat. She thinks she can bewitch my Alpha and claim my throne? I’ll strip her of her dignity before the whole territory. We’ve hunted together before; trust my instincts. Whether you join the cull or watch from the sidelines is your choice."Invigorated by her own malice, Madison activated her scrying-orb to begin a live-stream. She had recently carved out a reputation as a "Lunar Influencer" among the lesser packs, and within sixty seconds, tens of thousands of wolves tuned in. The header of her stream was bloodthirsty: “Exposing the Omega harlot trying to steal the Lawson bloodline. Watch her crumble!”Even those outside the Silver Ridge Territory flooded the channel, hungry for the drama of a high-ranking mate-feud.Once the viewership peaked, Madison began to squeeze out performative tears. In the brutal hierarchy of the pa

At that moment, through the heavy iron-reinforced door of the Second Sanctum, Grant’s intended mate caught a glimpse of him exiting the Apex Suite. Her claws flexed, digging into her palms in silent fury. Her eyes burned with a predatory yellow glint, and her voice dropped to a lethal chill.“I knew it. Grant bypassed my chamber specifically because he was shielding that stray in the high seat.”She turned to her steward, her upper lip curling. “Have you tracked down the scavenger I commanded you to find?”The steward gave a stiff, subservient nod. “The scent is laid, Mistress. Everything is prepared. By the time the moon reaches its peak, that woman’s status will be nothing but carrion.”A cruel, jagged smile spread across the woman’s face, a rare moment of dark satisfaction.“Ensure it is done. If you remain loyal once I sign my Mate-Contract into the Lawson bloodline, your rank within the pack will be elevated.”The steward bowed low, his tail tucked in eager submission.As the rit

The pillars of smoke from the burning carriage stained the lunar horizon.Avery’s stunned gaze shifted from the pyre of twisted metal to the bone mask of the man holding her. "Why?" she whispered, her voice cracking like dry timber. "Why would you throw your life into the path of a transport for me?"The only answer was the sudden, dead weight of his body.The abrupt loss of his strength made Avery instinctively lock her arms around Hudson’s neck to keep from sliding. Hudson sank to his knees on the forest floor, his breath coming in ragged, wet rattles. Even in his exhaustion, his grip on her waist didn't slacken. He let out a low, guttural grunt, the thick veins in his arms bulging with the effort to keep her off the damp earth.Avery tried to pull away to check his vitals, but Hudson slumped forward, losing consciousness entirely.She was paralyzed for a heartbeat before her hands began to tremble. She shook his shoulders urgently. "Mr. Lando? Hudson?" she called, her voice rising

"Get the hell out then. Don't come crawling back when the shadows catch up to you!" Hudson’s roar rattled the glass of the medical ward. He pivoted, the heavy oak door slamming with a crack that sounded like a bone snapping.Dr. Ryan Mercer didn't flinch. He leaned against the silver-wash basin, a

Hudson didn’t just hit the man; he dismantled him. The titanium head of the driver whistled through the air, connecting with a sickening thud against the stranger's ribs."You think you can put your filthy paws on what belongs to the Montgomery line?" Hudson’s voice was a low, guttural vibration th

The phone screen stayed dark. Avery’s thumb hovered over the glass, waiting for a signal, a ping—anything from the Alpha. The Silver Ridge High-Hall was a tomb of cold granite, and she was just a ghost haunting the lobby.The heavy iron valves of the private lift groaned open. Hudson stepped out. H

The cold stone of the Montgomery Manor offered no comfort, and as Avery stood lost in the haunting echoes of the previous night, Tessa Greene—the young servant who had survived the staircase—slowed her pace."Luna?" Tessa whispered.Avery lifted her gaze, her fingers moving in the fluid, sharp lang
