The forest was unusually quiet that evening, the kind of silence that pressed against your chest and made every small sound feel louder. Max sat on the rough wooden floor of the cabin, his back against the wall, his eyes fixed on the door as if willing Becca and Mira to return any moment. Every minute that passed stretched into an eternity, each second dragging its weight across his mind like an anchor.He tried to focus on the flickering flames, watching the shadows dance along the cabin walls, but his thoughts refused to be calm.What if something happened? What if… The possibility of Desmond’s involvement crept into his mind, a dark presence that refused to leave but he pushed the thought away.Alpha Eugene paced near the window, his hands clenched into fists. His usual composure, the unshakable aura that marked his leadership, was cracking, and Max could feel it in the tension radiating off him.“They should have been back hours ago,” Eugene muttered, his voice rough and strain

Dusk descended upon the Blackwood mansion like a veil.Desmond stood by the long balcony of the his chamber, his hands clasped behind his back.Behind him, the soft rustle of fabric announced Luna Seraphina’s entrance. She moved with the grace of a Luna Queen, her red gown trailing behind her. “Still watching the horizon, my Alpha King?” Her voice was smooth. Desmond didn’t turn at once. His eyes lingered on the sky before he spoke.“I watch for signs, Seraphina. Even the smallest ripple in the wind can betray those who run from me.”She came to stand beside him, the faint scent of jasmine and venom in her wake. “You’ve done well, Desmond,” she murmured, her gaze flicking toward him. “Offering a reward to anyone with information about Becca, Mira, Eugene, and Max was brilliant. You’ve turned the entire kingdom into your web. Someone will talk, they always do.”Desmond’s lips curved in satisfaction, though there was still a hardness in his eyes. “They can’t hide forever. Even in th

Dusk bled across the sky, pouring beautiful colours on the treetops.Becca sat with her back pressed against the cabin’s wooden wall, her wrists tied so tightly that her fingers tingled. She shifted, wincing at the burn of rope against skin. Across from her, Mira was just as bound, her face pale but fierce, her hair tangled around her shoulders.Neither of them spoke at first. The weight of approaching danger moved between them, thick and oppressive.Becca swallowed. “It’ll be dark soon.”Mira let out a humorless huff. “I noticed.”“Desmond will be here anytime soon.”“I know.”Silence fell again.Becca tilted her head back against the post, staring up at the ceiling. “I keep thinking… if we had just gotten past that door—”“We would have made it,” Mira finished softly. “We were so close, so close, Becca.”Her voice cracked.“I thought we had it,” Becca whispered. “I really thought… this time we were going home.”“And we would have, if that idiot hadn’t shown up,” Mira muttered bi

The tension pressed its weight onto the forest like a heavy, silent blanket. The trees were blackened silhouettes against a moon faintly obscured by clouds, and the wind whispered through the branches. Every rustle of leaves sounded like a footstep, every snap of a twig set nerves on edge.Eugene crouched behind a moss-covered stump, his eyes fixed on the figure ahead. His muscles coiled like springs, the tension in his body hummed with the familiar force of his Alpha wolf. Max shifted beside him, his jaw tight, his eyes unblinking.The figure stepped fully into the clearing, tall and broad-shouldered.His stance was confident and predatory, like someone who had been waiting for the perfect moment.Eugene inhaled slowly. The air was thick with the stranger’s scent, sharp and greedy. Something about it made Eugene’s fur rise along the back of his neck.“Stay calm,” Eugene murmured to Max. “We need to get them back without alerting anyone else.”Max exhaled. “Quiet is good. Deadly

Garran paced the length of the narrow room, his boots scraping against the wooden floorboards that now creaked louder than usual. His two remaining companions stood stiffly nearby, exchanging uneasy glances.Garran ran a shaking hand through his hair. “Where are they?” he hissed, pacing faster. “You said the girls were still tied when you checked!”“They were. I swear it, Garran. I checked not more than half an hour ago.”“Half an hour?” Garran repeated, his voice rising. “Alpha King Desmond will be here any minute and you’re telling me half an hour was enough time for two tied-up girls to… what? Roll away? Teleport? Grow wings?”The other companion wiped sweat from his brow. “Maybe they had help.”“That’s even worse!” Garran snapped.Garran pressed his palms to his temples. “Moon save me, this can’t be happening.”“Garran” the other companion whispered. “What do we do?”Garran’s breathing became shallow.“Desmond will kill me. He’ll kill us all. He—”A heavy thud sounded ourside a
