Chapter 41: Close Call

SierraThe cafeteria was bustling with the typical lunch-time chaos - trays clattering, people talking, all of it blurring into a roar I should have been used to by now. Should have felt safe. After last night's meeting in Coach's office Asher didn't want to go to the next class, I wanted to be next to him, hold him, stay, but I needed to make the rounds, keep up some kind o f normalcy. We couldn’t have Sebastian find out that we’re hiding.So now as I stood in line with my tray, that decision seemed pretty dumb.Asher, three people back from me, was talking with Jace about tonight’s practice. Either way, I could feel his focus being on me, that persistent vigilance through the bond that had become as natural as breathing.I took a sandwich that was already made up from the refrigerator, took a bag of chips and snagged one of the fruit cups by the register.“Wait.”I spun around. A girl I vaguely recognized from my psych class glances at my tray, then looks up, her face a little pale.

Chapter 42: Vigil

SierraEverything was aching at that removed, blurry way of feeling which told me I was under some sort of drug influence. My mouth was metallic and felt like I was sucking on cotton, and When I made an attempt to move my arm, an IV line I pulled was tuggintg painfully. Monitors were beeping with a steady pace that should have been aggravating, but for some reason were comforting – proof that my heart was still beating, that I was still here.I forced my eyes open gradually. "Hey," I croaked, my voice was harsh and unrecognizable.He immediately snapped his head up and for just a moment his emotion read on his face before he hid it. "Hey yourself."“What happened?” The words were slurred and my tongue thick and defiant.“You were poisoned,” he said blandly, each word measured as if he feared what would come out if he said too many. "Someone contaminated the fruit cups in the cafeteria. You ate enough to knock yourself out, but not enough to…!" He stopped, jaw clenched so hard I could

Chapter 43: The Night Before

SierraI was discharged at 11 that night against the doctor’s advice but with Mom’s hesitant consent. She made me promise to wake her if anything felt wrong, extracted a blood oath from Asher that he wouldn't let me out of his sight, and finally, finally let me leave the sterile hospital room that had started feeling like a cage.Asher drove me silently back to campus, never taking his hand off mine except to change gears. The empty streets were dimly lit by street lights, and every few minutes I caught him looking at me as if I was the one who needed to confirm he was still there."I'm okay," I sighed for the third time."You're not," he informed me. "But you're alive, and I’ll take it.”We never went back to my dorm. Too many students, too many questions, too much exposure. But then Asher led me instead to the pack house just off campus—the place for pack leaders, the one that should have been his refuge.When we arrived it was empty, just us and the quiet."Asher explained as he tr

Chapter 44: The Hearing

SierraThe administration building seemed different at eight on a.m. Colder. More official. As though the university had donned its formal face in order to tell us, We’re just students here, bound by rules we didn’t create and consequences we couldn't anticipate.Asher’s hand was warm in mine as we ascended the stairs, both of us outfitted as though we were going to the courthouse."Remember," Dad said from behind us, "let them ask their questions. Don’t give them more information than they need. And if Sebastian attempts to stir up trouble with you— ""We ignore him," I finished. "I know."But knowing and doing were two different things.The room for the hearing was smaller than I had imagined, just a conference table with empty seats at one side and a few administrators at the other. What rattled me was finding Sebastian already sitting at the end of the table, looking right at home in a designer suit, his silver hair slicked back, as if he were the concerned uncle.He smiled when h

Chapter 45: Breaking Point

SierraI ran.Not from the administration building, not immediately. From that point on, I sat there through the rest of the hearing half numb, half uncomprehending, while lawyers talked about timelines, procedures, and guardianship laws I didn’t understand but knew were designed to ensnare me.“Sierra—” Asher started.I pulled away from him. “I need air.”“You shouldn’t be alone,” Mom said.“I’m not a child.” I didn’t mean to be so abrupt, but that’s how my voice had come out. “I’m not a trophy to be fought over or a helpless girl who needs constant supervision. Just five minutes would be nice, a few minutes where nobody’s deciding the course of my life without talking to me about what I want.”I made my escape before anyone could stop me, through the double doors and out into the chilly air of the morning.I found myself at the old elementary school playground just outside of town. Vacant now, scheduled for demolition crack of next but for now it was still and silent -- solidly min

Chapter 46: Collateral Damage

SierraWe had three hours until the moon came up.Three hours to make burke ready for the bonding ceremony, to call together the pack, to assure that all was well. Asher was on the phone with the council liaison, bringing them up to speed on what we were doing and why it was such an emergency. I should be getting ready, but I'm pacing the pack house living room, I can’t sit still.I got a call on my phone.. Dad's number.“Hey,” I said when I answered. “Did you talk to the—”“Sierra.” There was something off about his voice. Taut and frightened in a way I had never heard him speak so frightened before. "It's your mother."My heart stopped. “Oh my God."What happened?"“Someone has broken into the hospital. Her car was attacked in the lot, tires slashed, windows smashed. Three people wearing masks show up on security footage. Spray-painted on the hood is a message they left.”"What was written on it then?"And then he went quiet for far too long.“Dad. What did it say?” Her breath caugh

Chapter 47: Secrets and Survival

SierraWe were half an hour away from the place where the ceremony was to be held when Asher received a call on his phone.He responded on speaker. "Yeah?""It's Jace. Where are you?""Almost there. Why?" "It's Jace. Where are you?""Don't come yet. We have a problem."Asher’s hands clenched on the steering wheel. "What sort of situation?""Coach never came after practice. We waited an hour. Tried calling him twenty times. Finally sent someone to check his office and the parking lot." Jace paused. "His truck's still here, but he's not. There’s broken glass in the lot. Signs of a struggle."My blood ran cold. “Dad.”Asher was already turning the truck around. "We're ten minutes out.""Asher, the pack’s gathering. The ceremony—""Can wait," Asher said sharply. "Find Coach. Now."He hung up and smashed down on the accelerator, and the truck’s engine roared as we sped back to campus. My brain was spinning, a combination of fear and confusion. Dad wasn't a wolf. He was human. He couldn’t

Chapter 48: Under the Moon

SierraThe clearing was packed by the time we got there.Torches ringed the space, flames dancing in the night breeze, casting shadows that made the assembled pack look larger than they were. Wolves of Blackpine were scattered in a rough circle, clad in traditional ceremony garb dark hues, simple forms, no distractions from the ritual itself. Down a small tunnel, a stone and wood altar awaited, decorated with winter blossoms and herbs that perfumed the air with a sharp, pure scent.I was shaking all over as Asher helped me out of the truck."Hey," he said softly, turning me to face him. "You don’t have to do this if you’re not ready. We can wait. We can—""No," I cut him off. "We can’t. Not with Sebastian escalating. Not with my parents being targeted. We do this now."He scoured my features, then he nodded. "Then let’s make it official.” Mom came through the crowd cradling a white dress that seemed to have been stitched from the moonlight itself. "Come on, sweetheart. We gotta get y

Chapter 49: The Morning After

SierraI woke to daylight spilling through the large windows and the smell of espresso drifting up from downstairs. For a disoriented second, I didn't even remember where I was. Then Asher’s arm tightened around my waist, and the whole thing rushed again. The bonding ceremony. The party. Sebastian’s threatening content. And the guardianship hearing that changed into less than four hours away.God, how did I forget?“You’re thinking too loud,” Asher murmured towards my hair, his voice tough with sleep. “I couldn’t help it,” I said, turning to stand him. His eyes have been nevertheless closed, lashes dark towards his skin, and I really force myself to have a look at him for a quiet moment even though my whole body was in deep pain.My mate. officially, absolutely, irrevocably mine. The bond between us hummed contentedly, stronger than it was earlier than the ceremony. I could sense his feelings extra without a doubt now. His problem, the love, the hearing. His deep satisfaction at

Chapter 50: The Verdict

Sierra The court roombecame smaller than I’d anticipated, boxed in through darkish timber paneling that swallowed sound and mild. The benches have been slim and uncomfortable, creaking every time someone shifted, as if even the furniture become uneasy The judge—a woman in her late sixties with sharp eyes and gray hair pulled into a intense bun—sat at the back of a accelerated table, flipping through a thick stack of documents. I sat among Asher and my dad on the plaintiff’s table. My palms have been folded tightly in my lap, arms knotted together to cover how badly they have been shaking. Asher’s knee brushed mine, grounding me through the bond, his constant presence wrapped around my panic like a defense. At the back of us, the courtroom became packed. The whole hockey group, college students from campus, pack members.Even some professors who’d heard about the hearing and are here to guide me. Seeing them made my chest ache—with gratitude, with fear of disappointing them,
