AMELIA I smoothed my blue dress as the car pulled over at the front of the pack house. I suddenly became nervous. Ryden and I waited for Ren’s parents to get out of the vehicle. Their details helped them out as we approached. “Oba, Oji.” I bowed my head in respect to our guests for tonight. Ren welcomed his parents as well. “Mr. and Mrs. Raito, please, welcome to our pack.” Ryden in his fancy well-tailored suit shook their hands and led them to the entrance hall with me by his side. He initially planned a dinner at the restaurant, but I suggested that it would be great to be done at the pack house so they could meet everyone, and the pack could join at the dining table. I wanted to make a good impression, especially when Ryden’s name was on the line, the pack, and the Corporation. I even stressed about the five-course menu but everyone had been very helpful in making this dinner possible. The dinner started smoothly. Our people dressed accordingly, which impressed me, and how th

RYDEN “Guston.” Case seemed to know that name. “Yes. He thought I was responsible for killing his friends. I handled it. It’s settled, but Guston suspects that I might know something about what’s going on. He wants to work with us and help kill this thing.”“Do you trust him?” Califf asked me. “No. There’s something in his eyes that I can’t explain, but my gut tells me we could use some help. I told him to give him updates once I talk to you guys. You can decide. I just don’t want to go behind your back.” “It’s because he killed many of our kind for money,” Case said that haunted me. “Why did you say that, Case?” Knight asked him. “Remember the rogues of Roadside Pack? He’s one of them. He’s started a new pack and became an alpha who just moved over a year ago near Ryden’s territory.” “Huh. I didn’t even know about it.” I nodded. “That’s why I never heard of him until recently. His guy feared him and spoke highly of him at the same time.” “Just be careful. Tell him to stand b

RYDEN “One question at a time!” I was already pissed at Amelia, and she almost got killed, and now this. I stared at terrified men and women who couldn’t follow simple orders. Eliza raised a hand. “Alpha, do we have to stay home?” “I don’t know, Eliza. It feels drastic. You can’t keep you locked up in the house when I don’t know how to find this thing. We’ve been working on this threat for weeks now, but we haven’t figured out how it appears, how it finds its target, and when it goes killing spree. You can all do the same routine, go to school and your job as usual, but be mindful. Don’t stay outside in the dark.” They nodded, but I could still feel their minds reeling with unanswered questions. “I know you all have a lot of questions and you’re scared. So do I. I know It’s hard to deal with something we don’t know what it is. And I know you want to help, and I appreciate it, but not until we figure out what we’re dealing with here. In the meantime, let me and our allies work on

RYDEN “Ryden!” Amelia called my name. I was screaming in pain in my head in my own blood with the blackness almost taking over me while I was buried under dead werewolves, wounded and bleeding. Her voice was shaking as she kept calling my name, trying to pull away charred animals on top of me. I already shifted back and begun to succumb to the wounds I obtained, and I was losing a lot of blood. Though I got used to smelling blood, the smell of burning flesh was repugnant and horrible. “I’m fine, Amelia.” I wasn’t. I knew the cuts were bad. I was more worried about her. We were caught off guard. And here I thought my territory was safe. Undeniably, I was targeted. Those rogues were coming after me, and not Amelia, but they didn’t see it coming. They weren’t aware of who Amelia was. “Ryden! Baby, oh, Goddess.” She cupped my face and checked for the injuries. “I’m good.” “No, you’re not!” Her voice cracked as she stared at my face and the wounds on my shoulders and legs. “I’ll sh

AMELIA “Where the hell do you think you’re going?” “To see the man who came to kill us,” he said through gritted teeth, eyes screamed revenge. “In your condition?” I looked at everyone in the room to help me get some sense into him, but nobody wanted to stop their alpha. “You’re getting yourself killed. I almost lost you last night, Ryden. Give it a day. Rest, then I will help you kill that son of a bitch.” “We might not find him.” He put his clothes on, and that was it. I couldn’t stop him, and he wouldn’t even listen to me anymore. “I don’t wanna lose you.” My words had stopped him, but he just turned around and smiled tightly. “I’ll be back. I promise.” “I hope not dead and cold, but I’m coming with you.” “No, you’re not.” His eyes narrowed. “You said it yourself, you’re exposed now. You’re maybe stronger, but you can be killed. I can’t risk you, too.” “So you can risk yourself but not me? How is it even fair? I can help you not get killed, Ryden. Suck it up because you ca
