"This can't be a coincidence."I stood in the hospital parking lot with Owen, staring at the address of the latest attack on his phone. Three blocks from my apartment. The victim was a young male werewolf who worked as a delivery driver. According to the initial report, he'd been making a drop-off when something attacked him from behind."We need to go see him," I said. "Maybe I can help heal the wounds.""Absolutely not. If this white wolf is targeting people near you, the last thing we should do is have you interact with the victims. You'd be confirming whatever theory this attacker has about you.""So we just let him suffer? Owen, if I can heal him and don't even try, what kind of person does that make me?"He ran his hand through his hair, frustrated. "A smart one who values her own life. Mary, think about this logically. Every victim reports seeing a white wolf before being attacked. You're potentially a white wolf with silver markings. Someone could be framing you, setting you u

I couldn't breathe. Couldn't think. My wolf was howling inside me, demanding blood, demanding violence, demanding we tear apart anyone who dared touch our mate."Owen." Lucas's voice cut through the rage. "We need to move. Now. Before they do whatever they're planning.""Get everyone. Every wolf in my pack. Every ally we have. We're going to war.""The Council won't sanction this. If we attack without proof of wrongdoing, they'll come down on us hard.""Then they can come. But I'm getting Mary back first." I met his eyes, and he took a step back from what he saw there. "I don't care what it costs. I don't care who I have to kill or what rules I have to break. She's mine and I'm bringing her home."Twenty minutes later, we had fifteen wolves assembled outside the industrial district. The building they'd taken Mary to was an old pharmaceutical manufacturing plant that had been shut down years ago due to safety violations. Three stories, lots of rooms to search, countless places to hide.

My stomach tightened at the mention of his ex-fiancée. "Are you going to see her?" "Not without you. Whatever Sienna has to say, you have a right to hear it too. We're in this together now, Mary. No more secrets, no more keeping you in the dark to protect you." "I appreciate that. But Owen, are you sure you're ready to know the truth about Claire? What if it's something that changes everything?" "Then it changes everything. But I'd rather know the truth, no matter how painful, than keep living with guilt over something I might not even be responsible for." He reached across the table and took my hand. "Besides, I have you now. Whatever I learn about the past, I can face it as long as you're with me." Before I could respond, the sound of cars pulling up outside made us both look toward the front of the house. Through the window, I saw three black SUVs parking in the circular driveway. "That's not my father," Owen said, his voice going hard. "That's a Council escort." We both

"Get up."The harsh voice woke me from restless sleep. I'd been dreaming about the surgical table, about being cut open, about Owen's face as they dragged me away. I sat up quickly, my heart racing.A different guard stood in the doorway. Older, with a scar running down his left cheek and eyes that held no kindness like the young guard from yesterday."Where are we going?" I asked, my voice rough from sleep."Council's orders. You're being transferred to a secure medical facility for examination."Panic flooded through me. "Examination? What kind of examination?""The kind where they figure out what makes you special. Now move." He grabbed my arm roughly, yanking me to my feet."Wait, I'm supposed to face judgment at dawn. You can't just take me somewhere else.""I can do whatever Councilman Blackthorn tells me to do. And he says you need to be examined before the tribunal. Make sure you're not a threat to anyone." His grip tightened painfully. "Now stop asking questions and walk."He

"This is absolutely insane."Juniper paced back and forth in the safe house where Owen's father had brought us. It was a cabin deep in the woods, far from the city, protected by guards and magical wards. We'd been here for six hours, treating wounds, planning our next move, and dealing with the aftermath of our escape."Let me get this straight," Juniper continued. "You were kidnapped. Experimented on. Arrested. Nearly executed. Experimented on again. And now you're fugitives from the Council with only a flash drive and a terrified scientist to prove your innocence?""That about sums it up," I said tiredly. I sat on the couch wrapped in a blanket, still recovering from the ordeal. My cuts had healed thanks to my abilities but the exhaustion was bone deep."And you," Juniper turned to Owen, "you broke out of a Council prison, fought through dozens of guards, and exposed a massive conspiracy. All because you couldn't stand the thought of Mary being hurt.""Also accurate," Owen said. He
