"Tell me who gave the orders, Johnson. Now."Alpha Lucian's voice was calm, but the air in the interrogation room crackled with barely contained violence. I stood beside him, arms crossed, watching Johnson squirm in the silver chains that bound him to the chair.We'd been at this for an hour. Johnson had said nothing useful."I'm not talking," Johnson muttered, his eyes fixed on the floor."You will talk. Eventually." Lucian circled him slowly like a predator circling prey. "You helped kidnap a child. You conspired with rogues. You betrayed your Alpha and your pack. Those crimes carry a death sentence."Johnson's head snapped up. "You wouldn't kill me. I've served this pack for ten years.""And you threw all that away the moment you chose Jude over your Alpha." Lucian leaned down, his face inches from Johnson's. "So I'll ask you one more time. Who planned the attack? Was it Jude?"Silence.I stepped forward. "Tessy almost died because of you. She's seventeen years old, Johnson. A chil

Hailey"Again!"I watched from the edge of the training grounds as Tricia put Hailey through another brutal drill. My mate picked herself up for what had to be the tenth time, sweat soaking through her training clothes, exhaustion written across her face.Every instinct screamed at me to stop this, to call off the training, to pull Hailey into my arms and tell her she didn't need to push herself so hard.But I knew better. Being Luna meant being strong. Not just physically, but mentally. The pack would test her, challenge her, look for any weakness they could exploit. She needed to be ready.Still, watching her hurt made my wolf whimper."She's tough," Edward said, coming to stand beside me. "Tougher than I gave her credit for.""She's always been tough. People just didn't notice before.""Because she was too busy trying to be the perfect mate for your son." Edward's tone held disgust. "Jude never deserved her.""No. He didn't."Tricia called a break, and Hailey collapsed onto the gro

"Hello, Father. Did you miss me?"Jude's voice echoed across the clearing, and I felt my wolf snarl inside me. He looked different than he had two weeks ago. Thinner. Wilder. His eyes held a madness that sent chills down my spine.Behind him, the rogues waited, ready to attack on his command. I could smell their bloodlust, their hunger for violence. These weren't just desperate lone wolves looking for a home. These were killers."Stand down, Jude," Lucian called out, his Alpha voice carrying across the distance. "You don't want to do this.""Don't I?" Jude laughed, a bitter, broken sound. "You took everything from me, Father. My mate. My future. My place in this pack. So now I'm taking it all back.""Hailey was never yours. Not really. She rejected you. The bond is broken.""Because you poisoned her against me! You seduced her, manipulated her, turned her into your whore!"Rage exploded through me at his words. I started to shift, ready to tear him apart myself, but Lucian's command s

Lucian"Twenty-three wounded. Four critical. Two dead."Edward's report hit me like a physical blow. Two of my wolves were dead. Two lives lost because my son couldn't accept reality and my former friend couldn't let go of the past."Names," I said, my voice rough."Marcus and young Timothy."Marcus. The elder who'd questioned my relationship with Hailey just yesterday. Despite our disagreements, he'd been a loyal pack member for forty years. And Timothy was barely twenty, newly mated with a pregnant mate waiting for him at home."Their families?""Being notified now. The pack is gathering for the mourning ceremony."I nodded, exhaustion weighing on me like chains. We'd won the battle, but the cost was devastating. And Jude had escaped during the chaos, disappearing into the night with a handful of rogues."What about Raphael?""Secured in the cells next to Johnson. He's demanding to speak with you.""Let him demand. He can rot for a few hours while we take care of our dead."I walked

"This tribunal is now in session."Alpha Marcus of the Silver Moon Pack spoke with authority, his gray eyes sweeping across the makeshift courtroom we'd set up in the pack house's main hall. He was one of three neutral Alphas brought in to judge Raphael, Johnson, and Dave.The other two were Alpha Sarah of the Mountain Peak Pack and Alpha Thomas of the Riverside Pack. All three were respected leaders with reputations for fairness.I sat beside Lucian at the front of the room, my Luna position finally feeling real. The past three days since Dave's capture had been a whirlwind of preparations for this trial. Gathering evidence. Interviewing witnesses. Making sure everything was done by the book.Pack law demanded it. You couldn't just execute wolves, even traitors, without a proper trial."We'll begin with Raphael Stone, Alpha of the Western Ridge Pack," Marcus continued. "You are charged with unprovoked attack on the Blood Moon Pack, conspiracy to overthrow a sitting Alpha, and accesso
