KAEL Her screams tore through me.Pain. Sharp and wrong.My wolf surged forward before I could think. He ripped free as I slammed through the door. Magic filled the room, thick and bright around Aria and the witches. She lay on her back on the floor, body arched high, screaming as if they were tearing her apart.There was no pause. No thought.The wolf took over and charged.Magic struck us as we crossed the room, but it did not hold. I crashed through it. The force of it shook the whole coven.“Damn it. Corvin!” Mireya shouted.Aria’s screams cut off.That did not calm the wolf.He shoved past the witches and stood over her body, hunched and growling, ready to tear apart anyone who touched her.“Kael, she knew it might hurt,” Karin said, her voice steady. “We are helping her.”Her words barely reached me. Something felt wrong.Then it hit.The wolf was fully in control.That had never happened.A sharp pull on our bond. I dragged at him, trying to force him back.He snarled.At me.

ARIA Even with the vehicles, it still took four days to reach Ashencoil Valley. The roads were rough, and the air grew thinner the higher we climbed into the High Wilds. No one complained. No one relaxed either.We did not run into any trouble along the way. That should have made it easier. It didn’t. Camping out in the open left us exposed. Every sound in the dark carried too far. Every shift in the wind felt like a warning.I shared a vehicle with Kael Nightborne. He stayed close the entire time. His arm brushed mine. His hand rested at my back. When we slept, he kept some part of himself against me. It felt less like comfort and more like he was bracing for impact. As if he expected me to break at any moment.He wasn’t the only one on edge.There was tension around him. The others tried not to stare, but they did. Quick looks. Tight shoulders. They were watching for signs that his wolf might slip. I felt it too. His control was strong, but it was not effortless.Torin, Elara, and

ARIA Taking a slow breath, Calder pushed the notebook across the table. His fingers stayed on the cover for a second before he let go.“In that book, there’s a list of names and dates,” he said. His voice was tight. “Female names are written in one column. Some don’t have names. Just numbers. In the next column, there are men’s names. Mostly rogues. It took me months to track some of them down and question them. That’s how I started to understand what those names meant.”He inhaled again. The words were ready, but he still struggled to say them.“Varik was trafficking young female wolves to the High Wilds. Most of them were given to rogues,” he said quietly.Kael didn’t touch the notebook. He just stared at it. The air in the room felt heavy. Hard to breathe.Rowan’s voice dropped to a whisper. “What the hell, Calder? Are you serious? Why didn’t you tell us?”Calder’s jaw tightened. “Oh, now we’re all being honest? Since Mireya died?” he shot back. “Torin stepped in and locked down t

KAEL Emily and Gemma agreed to see me. The message came the next morning. It felt unreal. Without thinking, I almost broke Nyssa's door off its hinges.Aria opened it. She looked pale. Her eyes were tired, like she had not slept at all."Kael?""They're seeing me in half an hour. I want you with me."She hesitated. "I...""You're the mother of my child. You should be there."Her eyes filled with tears, just a little. She blinked them back and nodded. "Give me a minute to pull myself together. Why don't I let you see them alone first? I'll come in an hour.""Come in?""Yes. They haven't seen you in years. They don't need to see you standing there with someone they don't know. Let them have you to themselves first."She sounded certain. Calm. It made sense. My wolf wanted her beside me. Wanted the comfort. But this was not about me. There were too many things that needed to be said.Rowan was waiting outside the conference room. His posture was straight, his voice low."Kael. Before yo

ARIA Panic attack. That was what it was. A full one.After slipping out of the conference room, my feet moved before my mind could catch up. I ran. Not fast, two legs were still strange to me—but fast enough to feel the pull in my sides. I needed distance. Distance from their faces. From the words. From what I had just learned.The stone paths of Veilshade Peak blurred. Cold air scraped my throat. My heart would not slow down. It felt like it was trying to break free of my ribs.Only when my lungs started to burn did I stop.I bent over, hands on my knees, close to throwing up. Spots danced in my vision. The ground felt uneven beneath me.Nyssa stopped beside me. She was barely out of breath.“I’m going to blame the baby,” she said, studying me. “Because if not, you’re in terrible shape in human form.”I straightened slowly and shot her a look. “We’ve been running all over this mountain for weeks. You’re just noticing now?”“We’re usually being chased,” she said calmly. “Hard to meas
