CANDICE. Maya was gone. Just like that. She had slipped away in the middle of everything, vanishing into the night while we were all distracted by Aldric standing at the gate like some ghost from my past. Six years. Six years of lies, six years of fake friendship, six years of her sitting across from me in quiet offices, bringing me coffee when I was exhausted, holding Leo when he was a tiny screaming newborn at two in the morning who wouldn’t settle no matter what I did. She had been the one person I let myself lean on completely. The one person I thought was truly mine in this messed up world. And she had been feeding every single detail to Hawthorne from the very beginning. I stood in the briefing room with my hands clenched so tightly that my nails dug deep into my palms. The anger inside me felt like something living, burning hot and ugly, twisting in my chest until I could barely breathe. I was furious at Maya for the betrayal. Furious at myself for trusting her so blindly f

ELAINE.The gates of Crescent Moon opened for me like they had been waiting all these years.I stepped out of the car slowly, letting the cool night air brush against my skin. Six years. Six long, calculated years since I had last stood on this ground. The place still smelled the same...I knew she was here the second my father’s people sent me the gate feed earlier tonight. Candice Miller. The woman who had haunted the edges of my life without ever showing her face until now. The woman whose children carried the bloodline my father had been obsessed with for years.I knew exactly who she was.But I wasn’t going to say it. Not yet. Not until I decided how I wanted to use that knowledge.I walked toward the main entrance with my head held high, heels clicking sharply against the stone path. Two of Killian’s warriors flanked me, but I didn’t spare them a glance. My focus was on the man waiting at the top of the steps.Killian.Even after six years, the sight of him hit me harder than I

CANDICE.Two days.Elaine had been inside our pack for only two days, and I already felt like I was losing my mind.I told myself I didn’t care. I was here for revenge. I was here to end Hawthorne. I was here to protect my children. I had made it very clear to Killian that whatever happened between us changed nothing. I had fucked him against the wall like I hated him and then gone back to work like it meant nothing.But watching her with him was slowly tearing me apart.She moved around him with the ease of a woman who still knew him intimately. She would touch his arm when she spoke to him — light, familiar, like it was the most natural thing in the world. She would lean in close when they discussed strategy, her voice low and warm, her laughter soft and intimate. She made him almost smile twice in one afternoon. Twice.I watched it all from across the room with what I hoped looked like professional detachment.Inside, I was burning alive.That night, long after most of the pack had

ELAINE.I had known since the gate.The moment she walked into that corridor and looked at me with those eyes — steady, assessing, giving nothing away — I knew. Surgery could change a face. It could reshape a nose, soften a jaw, alter a brow line. It could make someone unrecognisable to people who only looked at surfaces.But eyes were different. Eyes didn't change. The shape of them, the specific quality of attention behind them — that was bone deep. That was something no surgeon could touch.I had met Sara Delaney exactly once. Six years ago at the pack banquet the night Killian rejected her. I had stood beside him while he did it. I had looked at her with that cultivated disdain I was so good at back then — the kind that came from being raised to believe that Omegas existed at the bottom of a hierarchy I was born near the top of.I wasn't proud of that now.But I remembered her eyes.And Candice Miller had Sara Delaney’s eyes.I had spent the first twenty four hours deciding what t

ELAINEClaude and Killian arrived within minutes.The air in the command center shifted the moment they stepped inside. I stayed tucked in the corner, heart hammering against my ribs, as Candice handed over the phone. Claude’s eyes flew across the screen, his face hardening with every name that appeared. Killian’s jaw locked so tight I heard the faint grind of his teeth. He recognized far too many of them. Pack members. Councilors. Men and women who had broken bread at his table.He refused to look at me.I didn’t blame him. I deserved worse.Candice stood beside them like a statue, silent. She had already done her part. Now she let the evidence do the talking, and it was devastating.Claude finally looked up, his voice low and tight. “This is everything. Every single contact he’s been running inside our pack. Every channel.” He turned cold eyes on me. “How long has he had this network in place?”“Four years,” I said, forcing my voice steady. “He started building it the moment the fir
