“Right now?” Piper blinked, the words slipping out of her mouth before she could stop them.Linda’s eyes flickered to the rearview mirror. Piper and Ember’s reflections stared back at her. Their brows were drawn tight, their shoulders stiff with sudden worry. “Don’t worry about anything.” She told them. “I assure you, our Alpha has everything under control.” She paused, choosing her words carefully. “But the borders will close now. It might take some time before everything is cleared and movement is allowed again.”Piper shook her head slowly, confusion etched across her face. “I don’t understand. Who would want to attack your Pack?”Linda let out a soft exhale. Everyone else had the illusion of safety; she, too, once did. The Packs have been at peace for millennia after all. Still, underneath that peace lies envy. Many of those ‘peaceful Packs’ have their eyes on Frostfang's land, resources, and its wolves. She had an inkling who it was, but she answered instead, her voice low and

Piper felt her heart ache the moment Archie asked the question. What about her? Wouldn’t he ask if she was okay too, even if she hadn’t been attacked? Didn’t it matter that she had been there, that she had been terrified about nearly losing him, that everything inside her still felt unsettled?So this was it, then. He cared about Cecil now.The realization hit her hard. Piper swallowed, forcing the feeling down before it could show on her face. She refused to let jealousy slouch her shoulders. So she managed a faint smile instead.“I’m sure she’s fine,” Piper said softly. “I haven’t heard from her since she left the hospital, though.”Ember’s hand came to rest on Piper’s shoulder as if steadying her “Yeah,” Ember added quickly. “Cecil will be fine.”She hesitated, then glanced around the room, her brows knitting together. “Um… you do know what’s happening, right? The attack? Everyone here seems so relaxed and I just—” She shook her head.Archie snorted, brushing it off. “This isn’t t

“We know this woman, don't we?” Ember asked, her finger still lifted, pointing at the picture. For the second time, the things in Piper's hands slipped from her grasp. They fell without a sound onto the silk cloth beneath her feet.Piper didn’t notice. Her eyes were wide and unblinking, locked onto the framed picture before her. She took a slow step closer. “It’s her,” She whispered.Her voice was barely audible, yet it seemed to echo inside her chest. Confusion etched across her face as her hand flew instinctively to the lace around her neck. Her fingers trembled as she pulled out the locket she now carried everywhere. She opened it.Piper glanced down at the cutout photo, then back up at the large framed image on the wall. Then down again. Then back.“They’re the same,” she said, her tone laced with horror. “They’re the same.”“That’s impossible,” Ember breathed.“I don’t understand.”They spoke at the same time, their words overlapping before they both turned to stare at each oth

Why her?Vlad worked his jaw. Why Piper Moore?The truth was, even he did not have a clean answer to that, or perhaps he did, and it was precisely why he refused to voice it aloud.For a fleeting moment, he hesitated. And Linda, who had followed him her whole life, constantly studying the way he worked, noticed. At last, Vlad turned fully to her, his gaze sharp. “I don’t owe you an explanation, Linda. You know that.”Linda’s lips parted, but before she could speak, Vlad cut in again, his voice firm.“My thoughts for my son are all for his good. Everything I do is for Archie and his future.” He leaned back slightly, folding his arms. “If I say she’s good for him, then she is. The ‘why’ doesn’t concern you.”The room fell silent. Linda swallowed whatever argument she had been preparing. She did not argue. Not because she agreed, but because she knew better. Still, something gnawed inside her. Deep down, she felt everything was more complicated and profound than she thought. If she d

The meeting ended soon after. But Vlad remained. He sat alone in the tea area, a deep frown etching across his features. His eyes were shut, his knuckle propped beneath his chin. For a man who had just secured the cooperation, or at the very least, successfully completed phase one of his plans, he should have felt satisfied. Yet the feeling refused to settle.He released a slow but heavy sigh.As it stood, the discussion had been nothing short of successful. Jonas and Rowan would take his words to the rest of the Pack. Vlad trusted that much. And if the elders hesitated now, if they resisted the idea of the collaboration, he could always apply pressure later. He knew how to bend people to his will. Archie would ascend the throne and become Alpha of both Packs. The alliance would be sealed. The girl would stand at his side as Luna.Everything was gradually falling into place. So why was he still so unsettled?The answer came like a hit. Piper.It was Piper and her haunting resembla
