VALEN’S POVKain's eyes widened in horror. His hands clawed at my wrist as I strangled his neck with one hand. He groped for air, sputtering, "A-Alp-pha—I—"My chest rumbled at his obstinacy, causing the Dollams Howlite’s warriors to shrink back fearfully. Hurling my free hand backward, I launched another blow, this time knocking Kain down to his hands and knees. He let out a pained grunt."You should know better than to cross me and my wolf," I snapped, my voice icy sharp as I clenched and unclenched fists at my side.Just like Vaheed, he had a thing for Raina, too. Zeus never liked a bone in Kain, and learning that he knew Raina was here and never contacted me, because he enjoyed having her close to him, exploded my anger.Bastard.Zeus began fighting to take over. He wanted to tear through this pack to find her. I was itching to let him.Silence stretched, heavy and charged.The pack house remained still with several energies lurking around the premises. I could sense them all arou

VALEN’S POV"Fuck!" I roared, the sound tearing from my throat as I swung around and slammed a fist into the tree behind me. Bark splintered under the force of the hit, and the pain barely registered.Huffing out angry breaths, I braced my palms on the tree. My head slumped as I tried to shut down the analytical side of my brain. The part that was rattling off statistics of the declining likelihood of finding her before it was too late.The air was thick with anxious energy.Long black fur sprouted from every inch of my skin. My canines and claws extended. I was about to shift and charged through the hundreds of acres of terrain.Devin, Penn, and Thaines sensed the turmoil within me. Detecting that they were cautiously strolling over to me, surrounding me, I rotated to face them.Although they seemed unsure of what to say, they wanted to show their support through close proximity."Don’t do anything irrational, Alpha," Devin said, brows tilting up in an appeal as he clung to the duffl

RAINA’S POV“Hold up!” I shouted at Gustav, panting hard. A bead of sweat rolled down my forehead and splattered on my chin. “Haah…haah…”We pushed through the overgrown bushes into a small clearing with sparse trees. Their massive roots poked out of the leaf-covered earth and curved up into their trunks.Fatigue burned into my human lungs and legs. I groaned, grating my teeth against the pain in my hipbone as we came to a stop in the forest. The shrubs had clawed at my flesh, leaving blistering welts on my arms that hurt.“Okay. Let’s check your wound before we do anything else,” Gustav said, breathing normally, removing my arm from across his shoulder to gently set me down.I hissed and flinched as I pressed my hand on a tree bark to sit down on its large root. Pain struck me, aggressive and hot, as I bent over with one hand on my knee to take a breather.“Is it bleeding?” I inquired through a breathless gasp, drawing air into my lungs to appease my need for oxygen.I raised a brow,

RAINA’S POVLevitating weightlessly above us, the imposing white-haired woman scoffed callously, “Well, I’ll be damned.”“Farrah,” I exhaled in a shocked whisper, staring up at the female Worgen.She hovered ten feet in the air between two red-leafed, spindly trees in a belted cap-sleeved cyan jumpsuit. The vivacious winds swirled her radiant, long hair in fluid arcs around her grim face.The simulated world around me seemed to tilt off its axis, and her appearance sent a cold, gnawing fright through me. Was it really her, or could she be DayDocker? Whenever the trial wasn’t going their way, the timekeepers interfered.I backpedaled slowly.Valen’s chest rumbled, causing the hairs on the back of my neck to stand high, reminding me of his commanding presence hulking behind me like an evil shadow. Cold and composed as solid ice. His killmonger aura made a shiver climb down my back, and my feet halted.What an inescapable bind.“I see you came to join the land of the living.” She said cu

RAINA'S POV“Theo,” I whispered-yelled. My breathing was erratic, and my heart felt like it was stuck in my throat.Forging identities? He's so terrible!Yet this was Valen's magic at work. Just great. My disbelief morphed into anger, and I was ready to combust.In that moment in Valen’s atrocious hold, I panicked and fought him to rip out of his iron grip.“Put me down, Valen.” I smack his tight abdomen, broad shoulders, and arms layered with impossible muscles. “Go and help your Gamma, or the fight won’t end well for him.”Theo’s wolf didn't give Farrah another second, leaping around and thundering towards her. As it leaped, Farrah rolled. She hit the wet muck, skillfully rising, but the wolf was faster and clamped down its jaws on her arm.The wolf shook her furiously like he was going to rip her arm from its socket. Then released her and lunged for her throat, but she blocked that with her arm again and kicked him in his underbelly, causing the wolf to stumble sideways.Puzzled an
