8 Chapters

Chapter 1

Maia's POVI was dead, but my soul hadn't moved on.I drifted through the world of the living and watched them discover my body in that dungeon—or what was left of it. The sight made me want to scream, but ghosts couldn't make a sound.Silver Wood territory erupted in panic.My brother, Alpha Ethan Wells, decided to handle the murder investigation himself.My chest tightened. He was going to be pissed that I'd caused trouble again.I floated beside my mangled corpse in the inner chamber of the Moon Shrine. Silver blades had carved me into pieces, and I couldn't look away.Ethan stood over the body, his jaw locked tight."What do we know about the victim?" His voice came out strained.Beta Elder Hugo Stark rubbed his temples. "A young female. Dead for over forty-eight hours. The body's too damaged—we can't pick up her scent. We'll need at least two days to identify her."He paused, his face gray. "There's more. She was tortured before she died. The killer used silver blades to sever her

Chapter 2

Maia's POVEthan's voice softened instantly, becoming gentle and soft.He used to look at me as if I were his entire world, but now his whole world revolved around his fake sister."Lyra, be good. I'll come home as soon as I'm done here." His tone was tender. "Yeah, I'll take care of myself."He kept coaxing her in that soft voice, like she was some fragile child who needed constant reassurance."Ethan, the dress you sent arrived at the house today, and Maia saw it," Lyra said. "She got really angry and threw it out the front door."Ethan's voice turned cold. "Don't worry about it. I'll have someone send you a new one right away. I'll deal with Maia, and I won't let her steal your spotlight." The venom in his words made my blood run cold. "If she dares refuse, I'll make her regret it."My heart clenched in my chest."Lyrie, don't be sad. Just stay home and wait for me, okay? There are rogues prowling around, so you need to tell me before you go anywhere."He murmured sweet reassurances

Chapter 3

Maia's POVA commotion erupted outside, and the door burst open.A teenage boy stumbled in, maybe fifteen years old. His eyes were red and swollen, and tears streaked down his face."Please, you have to help me find my sister! She's missing, please..." His voice cracked.Ethan's expression shifted. "Hey, it's okay. Take your time and tell me what happened.""My sister's twenty-one. She went into the forest two days ago to gather herbs, and she never came back. I can't reach her." The boy's voice shattered. "She's the only family I have left. You have to find her. Please."He broke down completely.Something twisted tight in my chest.His sister had been missing for two days, and he was falling apart.I'd been gone for four days, and my brother thought I was playing games and pulling tricks.Ethan and Lucian exchanged a glance.The boy sobbed, and Ethan pressed his lips together. His voice came out low and rough. "We just found an unidentified female body. Her wolf soul was completely s

Chapter 4

Maia's POVEthan's body swayed, and he looked like he might collapse.He opened his mouth, but nothing came out. Something was lodged in his throat.Lucian grabbed his sleeve and yanked hard. "Don't just stand there! Move!"That snapped him back to reality. He turned to Lyra, and his voice came out clipped. "Go home."Lyra reached for him with tears streaming down her face, but her fingers caught nothing but air.This was the first time Ethan had ever left Lyra behind for me.I watched him disappear, and my soul trembled.For one heartbeat, the Ethan who used to treasure me—who always put me first—he came back.The dungeon reeked of blood.Beta James handed me my phone. "Alpha, we found this in the corner. There's blood everywhere—the victim probably dropped it while trying to escape."Ethan's breathing quickened.His fingers trembled as he typed in his own birthday.The screen lit up.Lucian swallowed hard. "Maybe Maia just lost her phone and someone else picked it up..."Ethan nodded

Chapter 5

Maia's POVNow I understood everything.That Alpha leader was Zach—Lyra and Adrian's father.They'd changed their last names and gotten close to us for revenge for their father's death.Adrian had been torturing me for two days straight.She used the hammer to smash me over and over again.Then, Adrian wanted to cut off all four of my limbs.Lyra crouched nearby and watched.Adrian leaned in close."I'll give you one last chance to call for help." His smile turned cruel. "Let's see if your Alpha brother will come save you."I tried the soul bond first and used every ounce of strength I had left to reach out to Ethan. "Ethan—please—help me—"Nothing came back—just cold, empty silence.Just like every other time I'd called out to him over the past three years.Lyra tilted her head and looked at me. "Don't waste your energy, sister." Her voice came out soft. "Ethan severed your soul bond two years ago."Her smile widened. "He can't hear you anymore."They picked up my phone and handed it

Chapter 6

Maia's POVLucian finally snapped. He gestured to two pack members, and they dragged Ethan out of the Moon Shrine's inner chamber.Ethan looked hollow. His eyes were empty and lifeless, like someone had reached inside and scooped out everything that made him who he was.Lucian raised his hand and slapped him across the face.The sound cracked through the hallway."Ethan Wells, wake the hell up!" Lucian roared. "Maia's waiting for you to get her justice! The killer's still out there running free, and you're gonna let her die for nothing?"Something flickered in Ethan's eyes. Focus. Finally."Your parents—Julian and Aurora—they're watching you from the Moon Goddess' side!" Lucian's voice got louder. "You think they'd be proud of this?!"Ethan lifted his head, and tears started streaming down his face.He grabbed onto Lucian and broke down like a child."Lucian... I screwed up. I'm worthless...""I failed them. I failed Maia even more..."Lucian sighed and patted his back. "Now's not the

Chapter 7

Maia's POVWhen Ethan got home, the house was pitch black."Lyra? Lyra!"No answer.His body went rigid, and instinct kicked in. He grabbed an iron rod from the corner, and his wolf's night vision flared to life. His pupils glowed faint gold in the darkness.Then a shadow appeared behind him.Adrian.My heart clenched tight.Adrian moved closer, step by step, gripping a silver rod coated in wolfsbane. That thing could strip a wolf of their healing ability, at least temporarily.I hated this. Hated that I was already dead, hated that I could only watch, hated that I couldn't even scream out a warning.Ethan spun around."Die!" Adrian roared.The silver rod cracked against Ethan's head. His body swayed, and he collapsed to the floor.I followed them down to the dungeon.Lyra was already waiting there with a bucket of water in her hands. She walked over to Ethan's unconscious body and threw the ice water on him without hesitation.Ethan's eyes flew open, and he gasped for air. He lifted h

Chapter 8

Maia's POVAdrian dropped dead on the spot, and Lyra was taken into custody. Lucian was rushed to the pack's medical center, and the healers worked frantically to save him.Ethan interrogated Lyra all night long. "Who are you?" His voice shook, and I could hear the wolf in him fighting for control. "Why did you try to kill Maia?"Lyra just laughed. She wouldn't say a word."Don't think I can't find out just because you won't talk!" Ethan slammed his palm down on the table, and the wood cracked under the force.I watched him from behind the one-way glass, and for the first time in years, he was angry for me. His rage wasn't directed at me—it was protecting me.A pack member brought in Lyra's file and set it down in front of Ethan."Lyra Storm." He read the name out loud, and his voice went hollow. "Your father is... Zach Storm?"He looked up sharply, and his face went pale.Lyra's smile turned vicious."That's right." She leaned forward, and her chains rattled against the metal chair. "
