VioletMy feet slammed against the damp soil as I ran as fast as I could away from that horrible council building.I didn't care where I was going, as long as it was far away from Dante, Gwen, and those disgusting old elders.The cold wind whipped through my hair, and my chest burned with every ragged breath I dragged into my lungs.I kept running, pushing past low branches and dodging thick tree trunks as the forest grew darker and denser around me."Violet, stop running," my wolf, Nala, spoke up in my mind, her voice laced with sudden anxiety."I'm not stopping," I snapped back internally, wiping away a stray tear that snuck down my cold cheek. "I'm getting out of here.""We don't know where we are anymore," Nala warned as she paced back and forth in my head. "Look around us."I slowed my pace down to a heavy jog, my eyes sweeping over the towering, unfamiliar trees surrounding me on all sides.The trails of Dante's pack territory were gone, replaced by wild, overgrown briars and th

One Hundred and Sixty

VioletThe leader took one step too close, reaching out his dirty hand toward my throat."I told you to stay away from me," I growled, my training kicking in before my brain could even register the move.I ducked under his arm, drove my elbow hard into his ribs, and swept his legs out from under him.He hit the muddy gravel with a loud grunt, but the other five men didn't wait around to watch.Two of the wolves lunged at me simultaneously, their jaws snapping inches from my face.I sidestepped the first one, grabbing a sharp rock from the edge of the cliff.I slammed the rock straight into the temple of the brown wolf as it passed me.The wolf let out a sharp YELP, its eyes rolling back as it crumpled lifelessly over the edge, dropping into the dark river below."One down," I panted, my lungs burning as I turned to face the rest.The scar-faced leader scrambled back to his feet, clutching his side and screaming at his men. "Kill her! Stop playing around and take her down!"A black wol

One Hundred and Sixty One

DanteMy boots tore through the wet mud as I pushed deeper into the trees near the border line. My heart was slamming against my ribs like a sledgehammer, each second without her making my skin burn.Bret was right behind me, along with six of our best trackers, all of us trying to pick up her scent through the cold rain."Spread out right now," I ordered, turning back to glare at the guards. "Cover every inch of this sector.""Alpha, we're getting close to the boundary," one guard said, slowing down his steps. "It's rogue territory past that ridge.""I don't give a damn about the ridge," I barked at him. "Find her or don't bother coming back to the pack house."The guards scattered fast, disappearing into the thick brush to start sweeping the area."Dante, calm down," Bret said, stepping up beside me. "We'll find her. She couldn't have gone far.""She ran straight out here alone, Bret," I said, my voice tight and raw. "If anything touches her, I'm burning this entire forest to the gr

One Hundred and Sixty two

DanteI stood by the side of the bed, feeling frozen as her words hung in the air between us.I wanted a divorce, she had said, looking right through me like I was nothing but trash on the side of the road.Before I could even figure out how to respond to that brutal sentence, the bedroom door slammed open against the wall. Bret rushed into the room without even knocking, his breathing heavy and his face drained of color."Dante, we have a situation outside," Bret panted, gripping the doorframe to steady himself."I'm busy right now, Bret," I growled, not taking my eyes off Violet's pale face for even a second."No, you need to hear this right now," Bret insisted, stepping further into the room. "The perimeter team just found four dead rogues near the eastern border."I frowned, glancing toward him. "Did our guards kill them?""No," Bret said, shaking his head fast. "Their throats were torn out by something way bigger than our wolves. The tracks belong to a giant, unregistered wolf."

VioletTwo days inside this room was driving me insane.I paced back and forth across the small wooden floorboards, counting every step just to keep my mind off the dull, aching stab wound in my side.Every time I moved too fast, a sharp pain shot straight through my ribs, reminding me that I was nowhere near fully healed.I stopped in front of the tall vanity mirror attached to the wall, resting my hands on the edges of the dark wood table.I stared at my reflection, picking up a long strand of hair hanging over my shoulder. It was silver. Bright, shimmering, undeniable silver from root to tip."How is this even possible?" I muttered to myself, twirling the metallic lock around my index finger."Nala, are you going to explain this to me or just sit there quietly?" I asked my wolf internally."I don't have all the answers, Violet," Nala replied in my head, her voice smooth and relaxed. "All I know is that we feel stronger now.""Stronger because my hair dye suddenly disappeared when I

VioletI stood there in the dark garden, my jaw practically dropping to the damp grass as I stared at him."Simon?" I gasped, my voice barely a whisper against the cold night wind.He wiped his forehead, breathing heavily as he adjusted his shirt over his broad shoulders."Hey, Violet," Simon said, giving me a small, tired smile."You're... you were the wolf?" I asked, pointing an unstable finger at his chest. "The giant silver wolf that killed those rogues?""Yeah, that was me," he admitted, rubbing the back of his neck like it wasn't a big deal."How is that even possible?" I asked, my head spinning with a million questions at once. "You're a normal pack guard! I've known you for months!""I was hiding it," Simon explained simply, stepping closer to me in the dark shadow of the fountain. "I couldn't just walk around showing everyone what I really am.""Why didn't you say anything to me back at the cliff?" I asked, my mind racing. "Why didn't you shift back then?""Because I didn't wa

One Hundred and Sixty Five

VioletI stood caged against his desk, torn between tearing his hair out and wrapping my arms around his neck, as his grip around me tightened even further. His breath stayed hot against the sensitive skin of my neck, each exhale sending involuntary shivers racing down my spine while Nala stirred restlessly inside me, responding to the scent of him that flooded my senses. I hated how easily my body betrayed me, how the solid wall of his chest under my palms felt like the only steady thing in a world that had been spinning out of control for weeks. “Dante,” I whispered again, the word cracking in the middle. “You can’t just—” He lifted his head just enough for his dark eyes to lock onto mine, the desperation in them so fierce it stole whatever argument I had left. “I can,” he said, voice rough and low. “And I will. Because the alternative is watching you walk out that door with those papers, and I refuse to let that happen.” His hands left the desk and settled on my waist, care

DanteI walked down the dark stone stairs leading to the basement under the pack house. The air down here was freezing cold and smelled like damp earth. Bret was waiting for me outside the heavy iron door, his arms crossed over his chest."Is he inside?" I asked, stopping in front of the door."Yeah, he's inside," Bret nodded, unlocking the heavy iron latch. "We grabbed him from his clinic right after he finished his evening shift like you asked.""Did anyone see you?" I asked."Nobody," Bret said, pushing the heavy iron door open for me. "He was alone in his office."I stepped into the dim room, watching the heavy door swing shut behind us with a loud thud. Doctor Evans was sitting in the middle of the room, tied tightly to a heavy metal chair with leather straps. He was sweating profusely despite the freezing air, his glasses slipping down the bridge of his nose."Alpha Dante!" Evans gasped, his voice trembling violently as he looked up at me. "What is the meaning of this? Why did y

DanteI pulled the silver chain back, holding it dangling in front of his face. Evans dropped his head back against the chair, panting heavily while blood and tears dripped down his face."I'm listening," I said, leaning over him."It wasn't a fake test kit," Evans wheezed out, his whole body shaking out of control. "The machine actually read the sample as your DNA.""How?" I demanded. "How did my DNA get into her sample?""She brought a sealed vial of blood into my office two weeks ago," Evans stammered, his words coming out in a frantic rush. "She told me to mix it into her own pregnancy sample and run the paternity panel.""And you just did it?" I asked, my voice rising in anger."I told her no at first!" Evans cried out. "I told her it was illegal and unethical!""And then what happened?" I asked."She threatened my family!" Evans wept, squeezing his eyes shut. "She said her father would have my medical license revoked and banish my wife and kids from the territory!""So you took

DanteI walked back down to the freezing basement cell, my heavy boots thudding against the cold concrete steps. I needed a name, and I wasn't leaving this underground room until Evans gave it to me.Bret was standing right outside the heavy iron door, tapping his foot against the floorboards while keeping guard."Did you call the tracking team?" Bret asked as I stopped in front of him."Yeah, but sending them blindly into the southern swamps is going to take way too long," I said, pulling my key ring out of my jeans pocket. "We need the name of the witch who did this.""Evans was practically fainting when I left him in there," Bret warned, stepping back to let me unlock the door. "He might pass out the second he sees you again.""Then I'll wake him back up," I said flatly, turning the heavy metal key until the lock clicked loudly.I pushed the iron door open and stepped inside the dim cell. Doctor Evans was slumping forward in the chair, his chest rising and falling in shallow, panic
