JULIANThe technician slotted the drive into the computer terminal. Above the courtroom, the three massive screens flickered, going dark for a brief second before a bright image appeared. The room fell dead silent. My eyes flicked wildly across the floor, landing on Silas. Silas was sitting in the elder section, his face twisted into a deep frown. The moment the video loaded, his entire body went rigid. He recognized the room instantly. It was the living room of Zee’s house. On the screen, Zee was standing near the bar, holding a glass of liquor. I was standing a few feet away, my face dark and tight. Audio boomed from the courtroom speakers, Diane sat frozen in her seat. Her face as white as could ever be with shock, her dark eyes wide and lifeless as she watched the screen. On the video, Zee was explaining how he helped me get rid of Alpha demora. How we finished the furmond and every… fuck.fuck.fuck fuck. On the screen, I saw myself lunged forward, grabbing a brass sta

DIANE The sound of the court doors slamming shut was the last thing I heard before my world went quiet. It was barely past noon. The sun was still high in the sky, throwing bright, golden light across the stone driveway of the pack house. But inside my chest, everything felt black. Everything felt dead. I stood by the side of the black car, watching the dust settle on the gravel. Julian was gone. They had loaded him into an iron cage, dragging him away in chains. In two days he will be taken back to face the death penalty in his home territory. I should have felt relieved. I should have felt like I could finally breathe. But there was no air in my lungs. Only cold, . Dom. A bitter, quiet smile touched my lips as I looked at the empty seat beside me in the car. He hadn't even come home with me. The moment the courtroom erupted into chaos over his bloodline, he stepped into his true identity. He wasn't my protector. He wasn't just a loyal Beta who cared for a broken Luna

These chapters are Free!! DIANE "Why...?" I choked out, a soft sob escaping my lips. "Why would you do all of this just to hand it away?" "Because you were the only real thing in this place," Dom replied quietly. He looked around. “Everything here is fake. Rubbish. There's nothing here. Just you. You. Please take it.” My fingers moved on their own. I reached out, my cold hands brushing against his warm fingers as I took the golden seal into my own grip. The metal felt heavy, solid, and real in my hands. Just as my fingers closed around the gold, a loud, heavy rumble of engine noise echoed from the side road behind the court square. I turned my head slowly. A large, black transport van covered in iron bars was moving slowly along the outer driveway. It was surrounded by six armed guards oneback, their weapons drawn. Through the heavy iron grates of the van window, I saw a face. Julian. He was stripped of his fine suits, wearing a dirty gray tunic. Heavy iron chains we

JULIANmy heart was beating fast. I didn't what was going on or who the hell was these persons.Then, boots stepped into the dirt all around me. I was surrounded. I could hear the deep rumble of powerful motorcycle engines idling a few feet away, purring like beasts. "I didn't know that people could do dirty things and think they can just run away from it," a deep, rough voice spoke from right above me. It was a voice I recognized. The voice was cold, slow, and calm. "People like you think they can eat their cake and have it all," the voice continued, the sound of leather gloves rubbing together echoing in the quiet air. "You do terrible things, and then you think the repercussions will never come to you. You feel free. You live fly. You let them drive you back to your region so nice and soft. Like nothing ever happened." My teeth chattered together in pure terror. I pressed my back against the dirt, pulling my chained hands up toward my face. "Who are you?!" I shrieked i
