The great hall of Blackpine Pack was built of stone and shadow, its walls humming with the memory of generations who had fought, ruled, and fucked within them. Tonight, the torches burned low, and the scent of pine sap and wet earth clung to the air after the late storm. The pack had dispersed hours ago, leaving silence where there had been howls and shouts, but three wolves had not left.Selene sat on the throne carved from a single block of dark oak, her legs crossed, her posture regal but coiled with power. Her dark hair spilled over her shoulders, catching the firelight, her lips pressed into the kind of line that made men hesitate. She had been Alpha for six months, and already her dominance had reshaped the entire territory. Stronger wolves bent their knees without question. Weaker ones scattered. But the greatest test of an Alpha’s rule was never in war or council. It was in loyalty—the kind that was bled, burned, and taken in the dark.Across from her stood Kade and Lucian, he

The moon hung swollen over Blackpine, thick with light and promise. Selene had felt it coming for days—her body restless, her wolf pacing beneath her skin, every nerve stretched taut. Heat. The first since she had taken the Alpha’s throne, and it clawed at her insides like fire.By nightfall, she was drenched in sweat, her sheets torn, her nails digging bloody crescents into her own thighs as she writhed alone in her chamber. The air reeked of need, musky and sharp, a signal no wolf could ignore. She hated how it weakened her, hated how her body betrayed her strength. But there was no denying it—this was not something an Alpha endured alone.The door opened without warning. Her Betas had scented it long before she called.Kade entered first, his chest bare, scars gleaming in the torchlight. His nostrils flared, eyes black with wolf. He looked like he was barely holding back from tearing her clothes away with his teeth. Lucian followed, lean and dangerous, his silver eyes glinting with

The raid came at dawn.A rival pack had been testing Selene’s borders for weeks, sending scouts, clawing at the edges of her land like vultures. But this morning they came in force, howls breaking the silence, steel flashing in the mist. Selene led the charge herself, fury in her blood, her Betas flanking her like shadows.The clash was brutal. Wolves and steel, teeth and flesh. Selene’s claws tore open throats, her fangs buried in warm meat. Kade fought like a storm unleashed, scarred hands wielding an axe as though it were a toy. Lucian was a phantom, blades flashing silver, blood spraying in elegant arcs.But victory came at a cost.When the last of the invaders fled, Selene stood swaying, her side slick with crimson. A blade had caught her ribs, shallow but searing. She refused to fall, though her knees trembled, though every breath burned. Her wolf snarled, demanding strength. She would not let her pack see her falter. She could not afford to be thought of as weak. She knew what

The bond with Kade was fresh, searing. Selene felt it constantly now—his pulse echoing inside her, his wolf brushing against hers like a constant touch. It steadied her, fueled her, but it also unsettled. The bond was heavy, unshakable, and it changed everything. They were almost inseparable. They were always touching each other. Lucian noticed.He lingered in doorways, silver eyes watching every glance, every brush of Selene’s hand over Kade’s scars. He didn’t speak of it, but his silence was louder than any rage. He obeyed orders, fought at her side, but at night his scent burned sharp with tension, his wolf pacing restless in his chest. He had grown to have her even though it was together with Kade. But being denied and somewhat neglected and ignored gnawed at his insides. Seeing them being oh, so lovey dovey was ripping him apart and causing the ache. Inside him, the hunger that won't go away, to deepen and simmer. Selene knew. She could feel the hunger rolling off him like hea

The storm came at night.Rain lashed the stone walls of Selene’s keep, rattling the shutters and filling the halls with a low, hungry roar. The moon was a pale ghost, smothered behind clouds, but Selene felt its pull like a knife dragging under her skin.Inside her chambers, the air was hotter than fire.She stood before the tall window, naked but for the ceremonial chain of her Alpha draped across her chest, the silver links cool against sweat-slicked skin. Her hair tumbled loose around her shoulders, wild, damp from the storm. Behind her, two men knelt.Kade. Lucian.Her Betas. Her beasts. Her undoing.Both were stripped bare, muscles straining as they knelt with hands bound behind them, each fighting in silence for her attention. The room smelled of them—iron, salt, lust. It was suffocating, intoxicating.Rumors had spread through the pack like wildfire. Someone had betrayed her, whispering secrets to an enemy Alpha circling their borders. She had confronted her Betas that evening,
