“Yeah, not just a young man in love anymore, but a man who has found his mate.” Stated another. “Who do you think it is?” "That Beta's daughter, I would imagine," the first elder replied with a dismissive wave. "They've been together for three years now." Murmurs rippled through the gathered wolves, some sceptical, others curious. The pack had grown accustomed to seeing Lucious with Annabella, but few had taken their relationship seriously. Most assumed, as the sextuplets often implied, that she was merely a temporary diversion. "Impossible," scoffed a middle-aged she-wolf from the far table. "An Alpha Heir needs someone with strength, with presence. That girl barely speaks above a whisper." Eugene caught thes

Annabella’s eyes widened at the sensation. She, too, had felt the warmth and the sparks of the mate bond with Knight. But instead of smiling back, fear gripped her tighter. Her face drained of colour, and without another word, she bolted towards the dining hall doors to the gardens. Before Knight could react, she had gotten too much distance between them for him to reach for her in time. Her reaction hurt, and burned like ice in his veins, but Knight understood it. However, Lucious was already on the move, as fast as he could; he had a longer stride than Knight’s would ever be. The look of fear on Lucious’s face made Knight freeze in place. Knight felt it too, but only Lucious had the right to; he had been the only one of the six of them who had been protecting their mate from the beginning. The one who had loved her not from afar but was present the whole time when she had needed a

They broke through the tree line into a small clearing where Annabella's scent suddenly intensified. Knight froze, scanning the area desperately. There, caught on a low-hanging branch, was a small piece of fabric that matched the colour of the dress she'd been wearing. "She shifted," Knight realised aloud. The knowledge both relieved and worried him. In wolf form, she could move faster, but it also meant she was even more vulnerable if caught by strangers. Adrian knelt beside what remained of her shredded clothing. "Recent. Maybe fifteen minutes ahead of us at most." "We need to shift, too," Raymond decided, already pulling off his shirt. "We'll cover more ground that way." One by one, the brothers shed their human forms and surrendered to their wolves. Knight's transformation was swift, his smaller reddish-brown wolf emerging with a shake of

She flinched at her full name coming from his lips. Knight closed his eyes; he knew that this was as much his doing as Cage, Raymond, Adrian and Drake’s, and they helped her brother, Tate, bully her. “It’s ok, we aren’t expecting everything to change overnight, things are going to take time for us to earn the right that Lucious has earned, his place at your side, and I know none of the rest of us have.” “It was Tate that told us he had overheard Lucious telling someone that he was stringing you along, but…but his actions told another story. We didn’t know what to believe, so it was easier to believe that he was the second eldest of the six of us. It seemed reasonable to think it had to be true, although it doesn’t make it right.” Adrian added. Lucious’s face darkened at Adrian’s words, “I would

Knight glanced down at her face, seeing her eyes closed and her breathing even. The lines of worry had smoothed from her forehead, making her look younger, more vulnerable. His chest tightened with a fierce protectiveness that surprised him with its intensity. "Good," Cage muttered. "She needs it after everything." The packhouse came into view as they crossed the last stretch of forest. Knight's heart raced as he carried Annabella's sleeping form. The pack members who spotted them immediately stepped aside, their expressions ranging from confusion to concern. He caught snippets of whispered conversations, the news about Eugene and Tate already spreading like wildfire through the community. The Alpha stood waiting at the entrance, his imposing figure flanked by four guards. Knight had never seen his father's face so grave. Beside him stood a woman Knight barely recognised,
