Chapter ElevenThe first gunshot cracked the night like thunder as the clearing exploded into chaos.Headlights blazed, engines roared, and trucks screeched to a halt as hunters poured out armed to the teeth, their rifles gleaming under the silver wash of moonlight. Muzzles flashed, bullets whining through the air as the Fangs scrambled for cover.“Down! Get down!” Reed roared, dragging one of his brothers into the dirt as rounds tore into the safehouse walls.Raven froze only a heartbeat long enough to feel the wolf surge within her, clawing at the fragile barrier she’d kept locked for years. Then instinct took over. She grabbed Sabrina, shoving her behind a toppled bike just as a bullet shattered the gravel where the girl had been standing.“Stay low!” Raven shouted. Sabrina’s wide eyes glistened with smoke and terror.But the hunters weren’t just shooting, they advanced, formation tight, their faces grim and furious, shouting old oaths about purging monsters from the earth. These we

Chapter Thirteen Dawn broke dull and gray, the light seeping weakly through shattered windows. Smoke from burned-out vehicles still drifted across the yard, clinging to the air, mixing with the metallic stench of blood. Raven sat on the edge of her cot, her body rigid, her mind replaying the night in merciless loops.Axel’s voice, His scent and the heat of his nearness. The bond pulled her like invisible chains.She dragged her claws across the wooden frame of the bed, carving deep grooves into the wood. Her wolf snarled within, restless and furious not at Axel, but at her. She hadn’t slept, she just couldn’t as every time she closed her eyes, she felt his thumb brush her jaw, his breath ghosting across her lips. Every time she inhaled, she swore she could still smell him, even though he was long gone.She hated him. She hated herself more.“Raven?”Her head snapped up. Sabrina stood in the doorway, dark circles under her eyes, a tray in her hands. She set it down beside her cot to r

Chapter 15 The Iron Fang’s clubhouse had never felt so claustrophobic, as its walls were sweating oil and whiskey, the scent of leather, blood, and gasoline pressed down on everyone inside. The long wooden table at the center was scarred with years of fists, knives, and spilled secrets. Around it sat the core of the gang, the men who bore the patch with pride and violence. Their cuts gleamed under the buzzing light, the fang emblem stitched across every back like a threat.And tonight, all eyes were locked on Raven.She stood near the back wall, not chained, not gagged, but stripped of the easy air she once carried when rolling with the gang. Now suspicion clung to her like a second skin. She could feel it in every glare, every muttered curse.“The hunters hit us again,” one of the older riders spat, his jaw tight, eyes full of venom. “We lost two good brothers in that ambush and every damn time they show up, she’s right there.”Murmurs rippled through the Circle.Another voice cut i

Chapter 17 – The moon rode high above the city, casting its silver haze over cracked asphalt and rusted fences as Raven sat on the rooftop of the Fang clubhouse, knees drawn to her chest, watching the shadows roll across the lot below. Sleep had graciously abandoned her long ago.Her wolf was restless tonight; she was Pacing, Snarling and that made her irritable.Not because of the hunters or of Cole’s poison dripping deeper into the Circle but just because of him.Axel.She could feel him like a storm on the horizon, his presence tugging at her bond no matter how far she ran. Even now, her pulse quickened, breath shallow as her body betrayed her every time the thought of him slashed through her defenses.A dangerous man and unreadable enemy. The one who she shouldn't have met if not for her Harley that broke down at the wrong place, now he was everywhere, burning in her veins, echoing in her dreams.She dug her claws into the rooftop tar. “Get out of my head,” she muttered to the n

Raven’s chains clinked as she shifted against the steel post in the corner.Her wrists were raw now, the skin beneath the cuffs rubbed red and burning as she sat straight, her gaze locked forward. She wouldn’t let them see her bow, wouldn’t let them see how her body screamed for freedom.She’d been left there all night, the clang of doors and growl of engines mocking her each time someone passed. Sabrina had tried to slip food in once, but Reed had caught her and shut it down with a sharp shake of his head. “This ain’t working, Reed,” Pike said, finally breaking the silence. His gravelly voice rumbled like an idling engine. “Chaining her doesn’t answer the questions, Hunters hit us twice this week. Someone’s feeding them our routes, we can’t ignore that.”Cole flicked ash onto the floor. “Exactly. And every time, Raven’s conveniently nearby. You don’t need a map to see the trail, brother.”Sabrina’s voice cut through before Reed could reply. “That’s too damn easy, and you know it
