"I, Lily—"A loud thud echoed, cutting Lily off mid-sentence. Finn collapsed to the floor, gasping for air as he pulled away from Erin's suddenly weakened grip. Silence took over the tunnel for a few seconds."Dad?" Lily called, her fear mounting. Erin seemed to have heard something in the distance. He stilled, letting his hybrid senses reach outward, picking up footsteps that were obviously trying to go unnoticed."No, they're here!" Erin breathed, urgent. Knowing they were out of time, he grabbed Lily's hand. "We have to go!"Just as Erin prepared to move, the whistle of an arrow sliced through the air, followed by the sickening sound of tearing flesh. Lily turned in horror to see an arrow buried deep in her father's chest, piercing directly through his heart. His hand shot to the wound as the faceless void of his features flickered and vanished, revealing his true, bloodied face."Dad!" Lily screamed as his knees buckled. She looked up to find the archer, a young girl holding a bow

SILVERBANE PACKSamantha's POVLily had been like a shell of herself after what happened with her father, Erin. I'd never seen someone so overcome by grief the way I'd seen Lily. Despite everything she had done, I couldn't help but feel pity for her.Two days after the battle, we returned to Silverbane. We knew it was only a matter of time before the Matriarchs let their mask of pretense fall, and soon they'd strike us if we didn't strike first. That was why we needed to return to Silverbane pack as soon as possible.We'd left the cleanup in Kayson's hands, to go through Erin's estate, his lab especially, and he was to send everything he could find, with the help of Adams, that would aid me in my research here at Silverbane.The moment we arrived, Adrian was immediately stunned by the grand architecture of the pack lands.The knowledge that his grandfather was the Lycan King and Alpha of the southern packs filled him with visible excitement. He was restless in the ca

Thorne's POVAdrian and I shared a room. He was such a curious boy that we stayed up half the night talking and taking a private tour of the castle.We ate dinner together because his parents failed to show up for whatever "adult" reasons my wolf was suggesting, but I didn't mind. I missed my daughter dearly, but I knew I could catch up with her later. For now, Adrian had my heart, and our bond only grew stronger over dinner.He reminded me so much of myself as a child. I was certain we would become best friends as he grew. I could already feel the strength of our connection, and I couldn't wait to see it flourish.Having him here brought me immense comfort. Not a day went by that I didn't think of my mate, Irene, or feel the ache of a broken heart, but I had learned to endure it.Life had been miserable until my daughter returned, and now my grandson was here. They kept me sane, bringing a happiness into my life that had been absent for years. I would spend every second with them if

Samantha's POVIt took us a painful moment to process the shock. My chest tightened as I imagined my mother's torment all those years. Tears lined my cheeks while Alaric stayed by my side, offering quiet comfort.My father struggled the most, still crushed by the revelation. The room filled with his raging aura as he stood alone in his grief.Alaric was the only one keeping us grounded."I swear, I am going to kill every last one of them," my father growled, his voice thick with fury. "They'll wish they never breathed the same air we do. I swear it, Samantha," my father vowed. His killing intent was so strong that the knees of the men outside the room buckled."I can't believe Mom was held captive in the place where I studied for six years?" My voice cracked as more tears spilled down my face."That's why we need a plan to rescue her," Alaric said, looking between us. "To rescue your mate, Alpha Thorne."My father gave a slight nod, trying to compose himself.Dean Carol had sent a tex

ARCANA HILLSSamantha's POVToday, I face my enemies.I arrived at Arcana Hills with my father, Alaric, and a battle-ready number of Silverbane warriors. They were all standing outside the academy's gates in wait. After I had met my father's condition, a terrifying trial at that, he had fully agreed to let me come here, and Alaric had been on the same page once he saw the result. But I could still feel their fear as they let me walk through the gates alone. I knew it was hard, but this was necessary.I owed it to my mother, and to the version of myself that once hated her, believing she had abandoned me to suffer under my abusive stepfather, Jack. I was doing this to reclaim the life we never got to share.Most importantly, I was doing it for her, because I loved her more than words could express.The moment the door to the academy's main building opened, two matriarchs, Eve and Sosa, stood before me, ready to lead me in. I climbed the stairs to the entrance, and
