Chapter 1

Cal’s POV“Where is my money?” Alpha Damon’s voice roared through the small, broken house. His boots crushed the weak wooden floor as he stormed inside. His dark eyes flashed with anger.My father dropped to his knees, his hands shaking. “Please, Alpha Damon, we just need more time. I promise we’ll pay off every penny we owe you.”Damon scoffed, his black coat swirling around him as he moved closer.“You had your time—months. I’m done waiting.”My mother tried to speak, but her voice cracked. “We lost the crops this year. The rain—”“I don’t care about your rain or your bad luck,” Damon snapped, cutting her off. His eyes scanned the room like a predator looking for prey. Then they landed on me.He took slow, calculated steps toward me, a small, evil smile curling on his lips. He bent down in front of me. I looked up at him, fear burning in my eyes.“What a pretty little thing,” he whispered, curling a strand of my hair around his finger. “How old are you?”“18,” I said, my lips trembl

Chapter 2

Cal’s POV“Dad!” I screamed, fumbling with my seatbelt as panic flooded through me.Dad gasped, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the steering wheel.“Hold on!” he shouted.The car swerved violently as Dad yanked the steering wheel to the side to avoid the wolf standing in the middle of the road. My world spun. The tires screeched against the road, and then everything flipped upside down.The car rolled. Once, twice, maybe more.The sound of crunching metal and shattering glass filled my ears. I screamed as my head slammed hard against the window, a sharp burst of pain exploding in my skull.Finally, the car came to a violent, sudden stop. It was tilted awkwardly against something, maybe a tree or a ditch. Smoke curled from the crushed hood, filling the air with a burning smell.For a few moments, all I could hear was the ringing in my ears.Pain throbbed through my head. Something warm and sticky was running down my forehead—blood.“Cal! Baby, talk to me!” Mom’s voice brough

Chapter 3

Cals POV“Allison?” I whispered in disbelief. I didn’t expect her to be here. I thought all of Damon’s soldiers had lost track of me.“You think you can run from me, you little rat?” Allison sneered, stepping closer with that familiar cruel smile I had seen too many times before.“You’ve always been trash… just like your parents.”My body tensed. My breaths came in ragged gasps, my heart pounding in my chest from the run. I hated the way she spoke about my parents.“What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice shaking.She laughed like a maniac. “Surprised? Thought you were getting away?” She was just like her father. “I told Dad I wanted to come along for fun. He thought I’d slow him down, so I followed him in secret. Guess who was right?”I just stared at her, my mind scanning through a list of things I could do to get away. I was too weak to fight—I didn’t even have a wolf. She made a clicking sound with her tongue, and two other girls stepped out from behind the trees. They smirked

Chapter 4

Cal’s POVThe sharp, sterile scent of disinfectant was the first thing to hit me when I regained consciousness. My eyelids felt impossibly heavy, but I forced them open. Blinding white lights glared down at me from the ceiling, and slowly, my surroundings came into focus: a pale blue curtain, a stark white wall, and the steady beeping of a heart monitor beside my bed.I was in a hospital.The crisp white sheets, the firm mattress, and the faint smell of alcohol clung to the air. My body ached like I’d been hit by a truck. I tried to sit up, but pain exploded in my ribs, and I let out a sharp cry.Lucky for me, that’s when a nurse walked in with a food trolley. Her steps were soft and deliberate. She wore a white coat and had the kind of warm, motherly face that made my throat tighten unexpectedly.“You’re awake,” she said, her voice low and soothing. A small smile of relief played on her soft, full lips. “You’re lucky to be alive, dear. The guards brought you in just in time.”I parte

Chapter 5

Ryker’s POVThe training ground was the only place that made sense anymore.One year had gone by, but the wounds still felt fresh. The memories refused to fade—but how could they?Each punch, each kick, each movement was a way to silence those memories. I trained harder than I needed to. I trained until my muscles burned and sweat soaked through my shirt. It was the only way to stop thinking about them—my Luna and my baby boy, who I never got to meet.I hit the sandbag harder, again and again, until my fists ached. I didn’t care. The pain had become better than the emptiness in my chest.“Alpha Ryker!”I stopped mid-strike and turned sharply. A palace guard sprinted toward me, panting. He fell to his knees and bowed his head.“What is it?” I demanded.“There’s a girl,” he said quickly. “She was found just outside the east border, bleeding—and she could barely breathe. We think she’s human, but we know she crossed from Alpha Damon’s territory.”My body went stiff at the mention of that
