KARI'S POV “I'm merely concerned for your safety and that of the unborn babe, Mi'lady.”I swallowed, bobbing my head in an understanding nod as I moved to slip on my shoes. “I appreciate you for that. But tell me, gow many others, Carol? How many maids has Titan done this to?”I moved closer to her, “how many women in this pack are silent because they fear his wrath? Let this be the only thing I do for them before I make my escape.”“Mi'lady,” she murmured, her eyes glassy. Then she shook her head, her shoulders lowering, “I cannot say.”“But there is a chance that it hasn't been just you, yes?”I didn't wait for her response before turning away. I threw open the heavy door of my chambers and marched down the hallway, Carol's footsteps echoing closely behind me.My heels clicked against the stone like the ticking of a clock as I hurried first to Titan’s private chambers and threw the doors open with such force they rebounded against the stone walls.I was met with an empty room.The

KARI'S POV The gravel of the garden path crunched beneath my boots almost violently, the sounds matching the thrumming of my pulse. My lungs burned, not from the exertion of my walk, but from the memory of what had just occurred.And perhaps, a little from the force of my walk.Titan and Indira…Why had I ever questioned their decision to betray me by choosing each other? They were both sides of the same dirty coin after all.The mad Alpha and the woman who fit his world far better than I ever would. I scoffed, then swallowed the sob clawing up my throat as my mind wandered to Viktor.Another betrayal I was desperately trying not to dwell on.For once, I thought I'd finally found the kind of love I wanted for myself, only for me to end up disappointed again.I took a shuddering breath, breathing in the crispe air and tasting of damp earth from the impending rain. Still it did nothing to cool the fire in my veins. I wanted to tear the the stone walls down; I wanted to howl until the s

TITAN'S POV The heavy velvet drapes of my chambers muffled the midnight bells of the citadel, but they couldn’t dampen the restless thrumming in my blood. I had just shed my doublet, the stiff brocade hitting the floor with a dull thud, and was working on the laces of boots when the door didn’t just open, it shattered against the stone wall.I didn’t need to turn to know it was Kari. The air immediately shifted, thick with the scent of her fury and grief?“Kari?” I called softly, turning to face her.She was a blur of dark hair and bared teeth as she lunged.I instinctively pivoted, barely catching her wrists as she swung a jagged claw toward my throat. “gods! Kari! In the name of the Moon, cease this at once!”“I'll kill you!” she screamed, her voice cracking. “I shall tear the heart from your ribs, you cold-blooded bastard!”She kicked, her boots catching me in the thigh, but I ignored the bruise. I deflected her next strike, my palms stinging as I blocked a frantic swipe aimed t

VIKTOR'S POV The cobblestones of the Wilder capital felt like a foreign tongue beneath my boots. For starters, it was way too hot, and far too crowded for a man who preferred silence.I pulled the heavy wool of my hood lower, shadowing my face as I moved through the bustling market. The scent of roasting meats and ripe citrus was extremely tempting, a stark contrast to the sharp, metallic tang of the forest I'd just escaped from.I moved like a ghost through the midday heat. To these people, I was merely a traveler, perhaps a merchant or a sellsword of low birth. They didn’t see the real me, the man who used to be their Beta. I stopped at a stall, tossing a few silver coins onto the scarred wood without looking up as I began picking the things I needed from the separated piles.I needed fuel. Bread, dried meats, and a handful of tart apples, and definitely some wine or water, I hadn't eaten a good meal in the two days it took me to walk from the old lady's hut. And if I was to st

VIKTOR'S POV I moved through the shadows of the servant’s corridors like a shadow, my blood humming with a primal, jagged anticipation.I was close. So close, I could feel her.Sweat trickled down my spine as I crept forward, towards the murmuring silhouettes.Two guards rounded the corner near the armory, their lanterns swinging in a lazy arc. I didn't give them the chance to draw breath.One turned his head and his eyes immediately widened in shock.But before he could let out a cry, I was on him. My blade found the soft meat of his shoulder, and a heavy kick sent the second sprawling. I knocked them down quickly, making sure they wouldn't be following me by punching until they went limp beneath me, even though their pulse continued to beat weakly.Once fully inside the castle, I paused. I was confused about where to start. I could comb through the whole castle but I didn't have all night. I needed to find my wife and take her home.My spine straightened as a thought flew into my
