I turned to the girl who’d kissed me, trying to keep my voice gentle despite the panic rising in my chest.“I’m sorry, but could you excuse me for a moment? There’s something I need to take care of.”She looked confused, hurt even, but nodded and stepped back into the crowd of partygoers.I pushed through the people, heading for the entrance where I’d seen Sabrina. She was already walking away.“Sabrina!” I called out, jogging to catch up. “What are you doing here?”She whirled on me, her eyes blazing. “Fuck you, Njord. I was just a side girl to use, right? Who is that girl?”“She’s no one important—”The slap came so fast I didn’t have time to react. Her palm connected with my cheek with a crack that echoed across the compound. The party noise behind us died instantly as everyone turned to watch.“Stop lying!” Sabrina shouted, tears streaming down her face. “Just stop lying to me!”“Njord?” My mother’s voice came from behind me. “What’s going on? Who is this?”I turned to see her app

My phone buzzed on the table. Unknown number. I almost didn’t answer.“Hello?”“Aurora.” A male voice answered.“Who is this?”“It’s Fenris.”My entire body tensed. I pulled the phone away from my ear, finger hovering over the end call button.“Don’t cut,” he said quickly, as if sensing my intention. “Please. Just give me a minute.”“Why should I?” I said in a cold voice. “After what you did at the Red Door headquarters, you’re lucky I’m even talking to you.”“I know. And I’m sorry for that. What I did to you and Arthur back there, it was wrong, and it won’t happen again.”“Wrong?” I let out a bitter laugh. “You wanted them to kill us, Fenris.”“I let my emotions get in the way,” Fenris said, sounding emotional, though I couldn’t be sure he wasn’t faking it. “I was angry and I took it out on you and my brother. That doesn’t excuse my behavior, but I am sorry.”I walked to the window, looking out at the safe house’s surroundings.“Why did you call me?” I asked. “If it’s just to apologi

I was in my office reviewing documents when the news reached me. One of my contacts—a guard at Lars’s compound who supplemented his income by feeding me information—sent a brief text.“Lars captured Njord.” I let out an exasperated sigh, what trouble had those guys gotten themselves into? I needed to call Arthur immediately.I grabbed my phone and dialed his number. He answered on the third ring, his voice tired.“What do you want, Fenris?”“I know where Njord is,” I said. “He’s been captured by Lars’s forces.”Silence on the other end. Then, “How do you know this?”“I have sources inside Lars’s operation. We need to go save him.”“We?” Arthur’s voice hardened. “There is no ‘we,’ Fenris.”“Brother, please. I want to settle our differences. I can get to Njord and rescue him without Lars stopping me—something you yourself can’t do.”“Why would you risk that?” Arthur’s tone was skeptical.“Because I want to. Why do you always see me in an evil light?”Another long pause. I could hear Auro

“It’s time for war,” Aurora said, her voice steady despite the fear in her eyes.I stood at the window of the safe house, staring out at the darkening sky. Behind me, my phone rang. Mother. Of course.I answered, bracing myself. “Hello, Mother.”“Arthur,” her voice was sharp and angry. “You’ve forced us into a war. I’m sure it’s because of that girl, Aurora. You and that girl have dragged our entire pack into this mess. And Isabella—you’ve convinced her to join you in your misdeeds. I haven’t heard from her in weeks, Arthur. Weeks.”“Mother, Isabella is—” I paused, keeping the truth about Isabella’s kidnapping to myself.“I don’t want to hear excuses. You’ve made your choices, and now we all have to live with the consequences. You better pray we win this war, because if we don’t, the blood of every pack member will be on your hands.”She hung up immediately.I stood there, phone still pressed to my ear, her words echoing in my mind. She was right about one thing: if we lost, everyone w

“It’s just a hunch,” Aurora said, wiping her eyes. “I don’t even know if I’m right. It’s been so many years.”“Can we talk about that later?” Fenris interrupted, his expression troubled. “I have something to tell you.”Everyone turned to look at him.“I gave Isabella the antidote,” Fenris said. “The pills that would flush Lars’s drugs from her system. I handed them to her myself.”“And?” I prompted when he hesitated.“It seems she hasn’t taken them,” Fenris replied. “She’s still completely under Lars’s control. Or maybe she took them and they didn’t work. If that’s the case, we might never get Isabella back.”I listened, the words settling over me. I had been focused on how to get Isabella back, not on whether she wanted to be saved. She had rejected me twice now. We needed a way to clear her mind before a rescue could succeed.“So what do we do now?” Aurora asked.I looked around the room at the people gathered there—Fenris, Njord, Aurora, Kent. All of us together after everything we
