SHADOW “What’s wrong, Shadow?” Kent, my adopted father, asked who had raised me since I was eight. His thick brows squished together. Concern filled his hazel eyes. “I don’t know. I think I sense something.” My wolf anxiously stirred and became restless. I gulped a glass of water. I barely escaped from the savages who killed my father’s entire pack. Because of the mixed mating, they ended up dead, and I ended up in a shelter with homeless humans. That was how Kent found me, gave me a home, and raised me as his own. When I turned ten, Kent noticed something was different about me. I told him everything, how my parents died. At first, he thought it was a trauma that I’d seen things. When I reached puberty, he saw me change for the first time. Since then, he explored my kind. We were about to meet the investor, and I couldn’t screw this up. We traveled all the way from California for this meeting, only to be ruined because I felt something odd. “I’ll be fine alone. Go ahead. Get so

CALIFF My wolves of hunters and scouts streamed through the land, giving them enough time to scout the perimeters of our territory for dangers and threats. Though assigned to border patrol, they wouldn’t take chances when their Alpha was going out on the run. “You’re clear, Alpha,” Kairo, one of the scouts, said through our pack link. That was how we communicated when in our wolf form or emergency. Running always helped me think. Since that rogue saw me two days ago, my wolf has been agitated and restless. There was just something different about her. I ordered my Delta, Lorcan, and one of my hunters to find that woman. I doubted it was a coincidence that I was there in that hotel, and she was there too. I always trusted my instinct when protecting my pack and our alliances. Our enemy packs had been very clever lately. I admitted that. Their members left the pack when on a spy mission and acted to join another pack to get information and study their weaknesses. I had done that in

SHADOW One moment, I was in the elevator for a run, and the next thing I knew, I was drugged and found myself locked up in a solitary by the most arrogant, feral, and ruthless Alpha I had ever met. My last Alpha had no match to this son of a bitch, and I still didn’t know his name. I felt like I’d been in this four-corner room for eternity. I lost track of time when I didn’t see the sun or moon but darkness. The Alpha was true to his word. I was left without food and water to starve me to death and no lights. It wasn’t a problem, though. A werewolf could see clearly in the dark but not in a human form. And Kent trained me to control hardship and stress, but not against this man. He went beyond what I had prepared for. I knew that Alphas were the last people you disrespected because their words were their rules, but his men took me forcibly, and I would be damned if they could force me to do what they desired. Something about him made me want to bend the rules, get down on my knee

CALIFF I leisurely watched her eat, get those lips dirty, and lick them off clean. There was nothing attractive in it and talking when her mouth was full, but I couldn’t take my eyes off those lips and her eyes. She was exquisite. Once she was done, I took her to the room next to mine. I wanted to make sure I had her under closed watch. I opened the door to the room, but I remained outside. “Your temporary room. There are some clean clothes for you.” “I can just stay down with other girls. This is a lot.” She looked around. It had a queen-sized bed, vanity mirror, closet, and bedside tables. There was also a bathroom, so she didn’t have to wait and fill in line in the morning. “You will stay here. No more arguments. Get a shower and meet me in the office.” “Yes, sir.” My eyes narrowed. “Technically, I’m still not a part of the pack or your pack.” “Don’t make me change my mind.” I locked the door behind me before I could think of something else. “You’ve already done enough dam

SHADOW “No!” I woke up, jolting with my body soaked with sweat, my chest heaving as I caught my breath. I never had a dream in a long time, and I didn’t wish to be that taunting and vicious as I watched everyone die, get murdered, and pile like dead animals ready to get burned. I was wrong when I thought I would get a good sleep. With my impending challenge approaching, I needed a clear head, or I would lose control and hurt my opponent. I couldn’t and wouldn’t be that person anymore. With everyone having eyes on me with my every move, I had to prove to them that I was not that kind of rogue in their heads, but I had a feeling that this wouldn’t be easy for me. It was still three in the morning. Everyone was probably still in bed. I checked the door before I slept last night, and it wasn’t locked like I initially thought. I changed into a hoodie and sweatpants before I headed down. It had been almost a week, and I hadn’t run. The night I wanted to go out, it didn’t go well. I wal

CALIFF I heard and saw everything. I was supposed to be impressed that she could take care of herself, but she was showing off to my people, which was not a good impression on her part. And Shadow wasn’t a member yet, but she was already showing the dark side in her. “In my office. Now!” She dropped her gaze. Without a word, she walked past me to my office. “Zack, you too.” I gestured my finger. “But, Alpha. I was merely reminding her of her place.” “That is not your job and decision, and cornering a woman in front of everyone isn’t right. Get the fuck in my office.” I was mad at what he did. Something snapped deep inside me, wanting to crash his skull, and showed everyone what I would do if someone touched Shadow again. When Zack went to my office, I looked at everyone who didn’t meet my gaze anymore. “She’s a rogue, and I get it. This is not her territory, but she will take a challenge, like everyone wishes to join our pack, to prove she has a place here. Give her a chance,

SHADOW Goddess, these people hated me to the core. Thankfully, this was the last day of my punishment, and I was already dreaming of a long nap in my bed. On the other hand, a three-day punishment in solitary was probably the best choice after all. “Here, rogue.” A buzz-cut teenager smirked and just gave me the plate. Before I could take it, he poured what was left of his food on the floor. So I had to mop the kitchen floor, adding to an hour of my time. I sighed and hid my anger and disappointment. “Serves you right. Next time, learn to respect who’s a higher rank than you.” That was just the first bully. Three bullies had done the same thing every meal since three days ago, but this one and the other were worse. Apparently, they admired Zack, hence the bullying and giving me a hard time. The cooks, not so much. They even helped me by cleaning utensils before they left, but these kids, Goddess, I wanted to ring their necks and squeeze them until their throats cracked around my

SHADOW What if this is a test from the Alpha? I wished I could read minds. I wanted to know what Zack was after. “I think you just want to live a normal life in the human world without thinking of threats from another pack. And I know why you’re here. I heard about your father—” “Adopted father,” I corrected him. “Yeah. Kent Marks. Because he could be a target of those assholes again, you want Alpha Cal’s protection, which is a smart decision, by the way. And honestly, you still have to join a pack one way or another. You can’t be out there for the rest of your life. That’s our nature. That’s who we are. We’re stronger together.” “I thought for a moment, you’re advertising a roof sealant.” He laughed. And I laughed for the first time since I stayed here a week ago. My voice was even foreign to me. “It sells, right?” “Yeah. Best-seller roof sealant in the country.” After an hour, we were done moping the floor. “See?” He gestured his hands, showing me the clean and shiny kitc

CALIFF Since I dodged Everlee’s phone call, I didn’t have any idea she would come knocking on my door early in the morning. I could be rude and ruthless, but I also wanted to address that I wanted to end whatever relationship we had formally. I had a feeling things would not end well for me if I kept allowing my sexual exploit with Everlee to stay longer. We were not mates. She understood that. I had a need, but I also had obligations to my pack and my mate. That was my top priority. After our short talk, she finally left my room willingly. I also made a point to avoid paying me a visit to my house. I sighed as soon as the door shut after her, but I was barged in with a familiar scent that made my wolf almost cheer and howl at the same time. I quickly pulled the door open and found Shadow in front of her door—the stench of another man’s smell on her brought out the possessive, animalistic temperament in me. Before I could compose myself, I was already growling at her. “Why the f

SHADOW “Zack, what are you doing here?” I was surprised to see him in the parking lot. “I’m the designated driver for today,” he excitedly said before he went to the driver’s seat to start the car. “Oh.” I suddenly felt shy. Zack was a good guy, after all, but I didn’t want him and everyone to get the idea that their Alpha was giving me privileges. They hated me already, and I was afraid I would end up poisoned by my haters. I was literally an outcast who just jumped into an assistant to the Alpha. The number one those gossipers could ever think was that I was in bed with the leader of the pack. Just like right now, these female werewolves were shooting me daggers. “I think I’d rather work in the office,” I told the Alpha as he finished his phone call. “Don’t make it a habit of defying my orders, Shadow. And don’t make me repeat myself. If I say you’re joining, you’re joining me.” I gulped as I nodded, and that was when he noticed the reason for my discomfort. With just a singl
