Chapter 1: Willa

I stood at the kitchen sink and finished washing the dishes from dinner. My father started to snore softly in his chair in the next room, and a smile tugged at my lips. This was a typical night for us. We'd make dinner, talk about our day, then one of us would clean up. When it was my turn, Dad would read in his chair but was always asleep by the time I was done.Just the two of us.I put the last of the dishes away and hung the towel on the oven handle. I went to the living room and rested a hand on Dad’s shoulder, gently nudging him. He jerked awake as I knelt by his chair, resting an elbow on the arm and my chin in my hand, looking up at him with a grin.“Did you get any further in that book?” I chuckled.“Ha.” He lifted the book from his lap, placing the bookmark in its spot and closing it. “I suppose I didn’t.”“You’ve been on this one for two weeks,” I said, plucking it out of his hand while I stood. I returned it to the small shelf in the corner.“I’ll get it done eventually,”

Chapter 2: Ferrin

I had followed her for miles. I knew she was a werewolf the moment I caught a whiff of her. I trailed ituntil I saw a glimpse of her wolf in my forest. I stalked her here. I told myself that it was because I needed to know who this wolf was on my land, but there was something about her scent that had mefollowing her in a way I didn’t think I was controlling.She tried to lose us near the end, but lycans are far better trackers than that. When she finally stopped and shifted into her human form, I had to approach her. Shifting out of my lycan form myself, I moved toward her. When I was a few steps away, her scent engulfed my senses, sending an irrepressible need through me. As soon as she turned around, I knew why.“Mate.”The word sprang from my lips. It was overwhelming. In the light of the moon, I saw her eyes widen in shock. Then fear flashed across them before they narrowed in determination. She took a defensivestance, and I pulled myself out of whatever trance I was in. That’s

Chapter 3: Willa

There was a pounding in my head as light filtered through my eyelids. I winced but forced my eyes to open as I tried to remember what had happened. As my vision cleared and adjusted to the light, I realized I was in a strange bedroom. My heart started to pound as I pieced together the events of the night. I started to pull myself up into a sitting position when my eyes met another’s.It was the lycan from the forest.I jerked myself backward, hissing as my wrist was yanked hard by the sudden movement. I was chained to the bed. I moved my attention back to the stranger sitting in the chair nearby, putting my feet in a position I could start kicking if he came near me. I worked to steady my breathing. It was hard, with the ache in my head getting worse. But I wasn’t going to let him know I was scared.I set my jaw and waited for him to say something.“How is your head?” he asked, no emotion in his voice.I didn’t respond. Instead, I looked him up and down, taking a deep breath to take i

Chapter 4: Willa

I had eaten the food Damen had brought to me despite trying to convince myself not to. But ultimately, my stomach won out. I had run my hand through my hair and felt the matted, dried blood that stuck toI must have really banged it hard, or rather Damen had banged it hard when he tackled me. Either way, it was no wonder I was starving. I had spent hours healing, which is why it also didn’t surprise mewhen I felt exhausted by the time I was done eating.Thoughts about being drugged or poisoned bounced around the back of my mind, but for some reason, Ijust didn’t feel like that was going to happen. Still, I pushed myself to stay awake, dragging myself back up on the bed to start working on the tapestry. It didn’t take me too long to get the nail pulled out of the wall, but my victory was short-lived when I realized I didn’t really know what I was going to do with it. Ihad never picked handcuffs before.But how hard could it be?I sat back a started working on the lock, but I was soo

Chapter 5: Ferrin

I left Willa’s room and rushed down the stairs. Damen was close behind me as I entered the suite belowhers. I immediately started pacing the floor.“Ferrin,” Damen approached cautiously, “what did you find out?”I released a yell as I swept my hand forcefully across the dresser, sending a vase into the opposite wall and shattering it. I struggled to control my breathing before collapsing into the armchair near the cornerof the room.“It’s her,” I finally said.“Are you sure?” Damen pushed.“She’s Melanie Carmine’s daughter,” I said. “That’s where her alpha blood comes from.”Willa’s mother was the previous alpha of the Black Moon Pack. It was, and still is, the largest pack in thewestern territories, though their numbers have dwindled since her death. It was one of the first packsformed after the werewolf rebellion a hundred and twenty years ago.For centuries, lycans ruled the kingdom of Whearhal. Werewolves were essentially servants, bound by social biases to remain subjugated u

Chapter 6: Willa

I don’t know how long I cried. I was even less aware of how long I lay on the floor. The feeling of crippling failure had eaten away at me until I was numb. The only thoughts in my mind were of my parents. How I couldn’t bring myself to avenge my mother’s death. How I had left my dad all alone, with no idea what had happened to me. He would search for me.He would come for me.The thought sent a new wave of emotion through me. He knew I had been patrolling the lycan border. How long would he search before coming here? If he came here, they would kill him. I had to find a way to stop him. I had to get out of here.I pushed myself up off the floor, my stiff body protesting the movement. My hands were still healing and sore from where my claws had dug into the flesh, but I pulled myself up to my knees. I noticed the first light of day starting to seep into the room. Now that I wasn’t chained, I could see where I was and get my bearings. I pulled myself to my feet and moved toward the win

Chapter 7: Ferrin

“Okay,” I replied, trying to stay composed.I directed her toward the small sofa near the fireplace. We sat across from each other. She was biting her lip again, and I could tell she was still on edge. I knew the conversation we were about to have wasn’t going to help, but I needed to know more about what happened that night.“What do you remember from that night,” I asked.She tucked a strand of auburn hair behind her ear and took a deep breath. “I remember the crash. Someone had purposely rammed the side of our car, pushing us over an embankment. I remember climbing out.” She looked down at her hands. “I was all cut up from the glass. When I looked to see if my mom had gotten out, I saw someone come up and grab her. I know they fought, but I was too scared to move.”“Do you remember what they looked like?”She shrugged. “In his human form, vaguely. But in his lycan form… Yeah. Yeah, I remember what he looks like.”“That’s good, Willa,” I said as I stood from the chair. I moved to th

Chapter 8: Ferrin

I was inclined to protect Willa’s identity as well as her presence here. Someone asking questions that led back to her could very well lead to someone discovering her absence back home. Someone we didn’t want to know. But Damen was right. We would have to bring someone else in on this, and another lycan wouldn’t be ideal. Everything we needed to know about Melanie’s death was in the Black Moon Pack. I had faith in Damen, and I trusted his judgment. At the end of it all, we would have to take the risk, and Dante seemed like the best man for the job.“We’re looking into the death of Melanie Carmine, the former alpha of the Black Moon Pack,” I said. “Are you familiar with the name?”Dante thought for a moment, then nodded. “This would be about… twelve — thirteen years ago? I believe I heard something about a car accident.”“That’s the public story,” I stated. “We’ve recently been informed that she was actually murdered. The accident was a way to get to her. I want the case reports and an

Chapter 9: Willa

By the time the sun had started to set, I was so bored and stir-crazy that I was pacing the room. It didn’t help that I spent the morning reliving the worst day of my life. My head was everywhere all day. I had spent some time trying to get a layout of the lower levels of the castle, but I honestly didn’t think it would be helpful, even if I did get an opportunity to run. I exercised and did some solo training. I sketched some more. But nothing really kept my head from dwelling on everything that had happened the last two days.Two days.I was worried about my dad.My only hope was that he would reach out to my friends first. I didn’t have many. We were rogues, after all. But over the years, there had been a number of other rogues that took up residence near us. Most of them were younger, orphan rogues that had been cast out of whatever pack had housed them before they came of age or runaways. But they still seemed to gravitate toward our little corner of the world. I was always okay

Chapter 10: Ferrin

I slammed the door shut behind me, not caring if I pulled half my scalp off as I forcefully tugged my hands through my hair. Wondering how I could be so stupid.I fucking kissed her.I couldn’t control myself, and I fucking kissed her. And it was amazing.I shouldn’t have even gone up there tonight.I threw myself into the armchair and stared up at the ceiling. The ceiling that put so much distance between me and my mate that it physically hurt.Damen’s concerns had sat heavy with me all day. He was right. Finding out that the alpha in the prophecy was my fated mate opened it up to a whole new avenue of interpretation. Since the prophecy had been delivered to me ten years ago, we had approached it as if the alpha was the threat. That she would kill me and take my throne. Any ruler can tell you that was always a risk to consider, prophecy or not, so I didn’t take it too seriously at first. But it was the part about the alpha ascending that started to bother me. It was an old term that
