CHAPTER ELEVEN

It was still night and the air was whistling softly. Ryker sat in the chamber where he had always had meetings with the pack members and the elders. His fingers drummed against the wooden chair. The fight with the masked intruder still haunted him, and his wound throbbed dully beneath the bandages. He has fought countless battles, but there was something familiar about the way his opponent moved—and the thought unsettled him more than he cared to admit.A knock at the door interrupted his thoughts. Without waiting for a response, Eirlys stepped inside. Her presence has become an unspoken storm in his life—one he both presented and drawn toward.Ryker leaned back in his chair, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Did you come here for something?” His voice was level.Eirlys crossed her arms. “You asked to see me.”He exhaled slowly. “Yes, I asked to see you. I need to ask you something.” he sighed. “Back at the Dreadhowl pack… did you ever come across anyone unusual? Someone who stood out?”

CHAPTER TWELVE

And just like that, Eirlys had a full place at the infirmary. It wasn't much, but sure it was something. Days passed and Eirlys threw herself into the work. She crushed herbs, prepared poultices and cleaned wounds without complaint. The other healers still eyed her warily but they didn't turn her away. Slowly, she started to feel like she belonged—at least within the walls of the infirmary.But outside, Celeste's cruelty only worsened. She spread whispers, twisting situations to further isolate Eirlys. When a young warrior tripped over a misplaced basket of supplies, Celeste made sure the pack knew Eirlys had left it there.When tensions in the pack rose, Celeste was quick to blame Eirlys for being a distraction.Eirlys gritted her teeth and endured it. She had already decided—she wouldn't break.What she didn't expect was Rowan.At first, Ryker's beta had been like the others—watching her with guarded suspicion, speaking to her only when necessary. But now, he lingered at the infirm

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Late one evening, Celeste stormed into Ryker's office, her brown hair cascading over her shoulders in feigned elegance, but her eyes burned with irritation as she shut the door behind her.“You're letting this go too far,” she hissed, pacing before his desk. “She's manipulating them.”Ryker leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples. “She's doing her job. Nothing more.”Celeste scoffed. “Don't be naive. First, she works her way into the infirmary. And now, she's having a little respect from your men… and my men too. She's getting close to turning them against you with any chance she gets. Let me guess… What's going to be the next thing, Ryker? You'll have her by your side, right?”“That's enough.” He stood up in a swift, his jaw tensed.But Celeste wasn't finished. She leaned forward, her voice dropping into a poisonous whisper. “You don't see it, do you? How she makes you weak. She's a distraction. And distractions get people killed.*A flash of memory surged through him—Eirlys, s

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Eirlys moved carefully through the dense forest, her finger grazing over the rough bark of trees as she searched for the medicinal herbs she needed. The evening Sir carried the scent of fresh pine, calming her frayed nerves.She had come here to escape the judging eyes of the Nightfang pack, to lose herself in the simple act of gathering what the infirmary required. Though she wasn't alone as there were a few other healers but they were on different sides, distant from each other.Eirlys bent down to pluck a cluster of feverfew, but just then, a rustling in the distance made her freeze.Her body tensed and her instinct screamed at her to retreat but she forced herself to remain still while at the same time, listened. Then, she saw a figure stumble into view—a woman, her hair tangled and face smeared with dirt.Eirlys's breath hitched. She knew that face. It was Aria.The recognition was instant, a sharp jolt to her chest. Aria had been one of them—the Dreadhowl prisoner who had kicked

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Ryker tossed and turned in his bed, his breath shallow, his body slick with sweat. The nightmare came as it always did—relentless and suffocating. Always the same nightmare but this time around, it was different.He was there again, standing amidst the ruins of a battlefield drenched in blood. The stench of death clung to the air. And it was a thick one, almost suffocating. Screams echoed all around him, warriors falling and their bodies torn apart by the merciless claws.His father, Marcus Reed, stood at the center of the chaos. He stood tall and unwavering despite his injuries. His presence was both a beacon of hope and a warning—a storm in the battlefield.Marcus's silver fur was matted with blood, his breathing was heavy but the stance was solid. His stormy gray eyes, the same ones Ryker had inherited, burned with determination. Before him, stood a masked figure. It was The Tyrant. His massive form cloaked in darkness and his eyes gleamed through the slits of the mask like a pred

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

The tension in the Nightfang pack thickened like a heavy fog as news of the outsider who Eirlys had brought spread. Whispers trailed after Eirlys as she walked through the pack's ground, their voices hushed but sharp, questioning her judgement. Her intentions. Including Ryker, who had agreed with her. Though she ignored them, as she had always done, keeping her head high despite the storm that brewed beneath her ribs. That unsettled Ryker, as the fate of the pack depended on him and his decisions would mark the future of the pack.Eirlys entered Ryker's office with a cold expression. Her posture was rigid as she met his piercing gaze. Ryker had sent for her and she had done well to heed to his call.Ryker stood behind his desk, his fists pressed against the wooden surface as if restraining himself from taking an action.“What were you thinking, bringing her here?” Ryker's voice was deep and low. But she could hear the restraint in it.Eirlys crossed her arms. “I was thinking that she

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

The night was still, save for the soft rustling of leaves and the distant howls echoing from the woods beyond the pack's territory. Eirlys stood in the middle of the training ground, inhaling the crisp air, trying to steady her thoughts. This place has become her sanctuary, a space where she could be alone with her frustration—with her fears and the restless energy that kept her awake long last midnight .She clenches her fists, staring at the faint scars lining her palm. She had come here tonight with the same purpose as always—to clear her mind, to regain a sense of control over her owl life. But this time, she wasn't alone.Ryker was already there.He stood in the shadows, watching her, his presence as heavy as the moonlight casting a silver glow over the clearing. For a moment, neither of them spoke. The tension between them was filled with unspoken words hanging in the cool air like ghosts of the past.“You couldn't sleep either,” Ryker finally said, stepping closer, his voice d

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Eirlys sat on the edge of her bed, lost in her thoughts. The light rays escaped through the small opening in the window and shone directly on her face. Across from her, Aria lay on her side, absentmindedly twirling a loose thread in the blanket.Aria had been staying with Eirlys since she was brought into the Nightfang pack. It was an arrangement that had happened after lots of thoughts and discussions with Ryker. Despite their past in the Dreadhowl pack, an uneasy sense of familiarity had formed between them, something neither of them spoke about but both acknowledged in quiet moments like this.A sudden knock at the door startled then both. Eirlys immediately straightened, glancing at Aria, who only raised an eyebrow in silent question. With a breath to steady herself, Eirlys stood and made her way to the door, pulling it open just enough to see who was there.A guard stood rigidly at the doorstep, his expression was blank and his posture was disciplined. “Alpha Ryker has instructed

CHAPTER NINETEEN

The journey back was silent, the weight of their conversation still lingering in the air. Eirlys walked a little behind Ryker, her thoughts tangled between the moment they'd just shared and the uneasy feeling settling in her chest.The trees around them looked like silent sentinels, the rustling leaves whispering secrets of the past. Then, in an instant, the world erupted into chaos.Unknown wolves lunged from the trees. They were swift and calculated. Ryker's instinct flared and before Eirlys could react, he had already stepped in front of her, his body tensing as claws and fangs gleamed under the morning sun. A growl rumbled deep in his chest, a warning but their attackers showed no fear.The first strike came fast. Ryker met it head-on, dodging a blade aimed at his side and countering it with a powerful blow. Eirlys barely had time to register what was happening before she was yanked backward. She fought against the grip, panic clawing at her throat, until she realized it was one o

CHAPTER TWENTY

Eirlys barely felt the scorching sun as she rode through the rays of light that shone through the trees, her breath coming in quick gasps. She gripped the reins tightly as she led the horse forward at a relentless pace. Every time she risked a glance behind her, her heart clenched at the sight of Ryker slumped in the saddle of the other horse, barely conscious. He wasn't the one controlling the ride—he was too weak for that.His body swayed dangerously with every gallop, his breathing labored and his stormy gray eyes barely open.“Hold on,” she whispered. “Just a little longer, Ryker. Stay with me.”But he didn't respond. He slightly opened his eyes and smiled at her.As they neared the pack's borders, the looming gates came into view and Eirlys screamed out.“Help! Someone—help us!”Her voice echoed through the stillness of the day. She sounded desperate.At first, there was only silence. Then—in the next second, there was movement. Figures emerged from the gates, guards rushing for
