KILLIANI couldn't stop staring at Lia. Aldric's words still hung in the underground passage like smoke after a fire—"They were never coming for Leo. They came into this pack for her." My daughter stood pressed against Marta's side, one small hand gripping the older woman's dress so tightly her knuckles had turned white. Leo stood in front of her, naked after his shift and barely able to stay on his feet, but he refused to move. His small chest rose and fell heavily, his eyes still fierce even though exhaustion was clearly taking over."Get him upstairs," I told Darian, my voice rough. "Have the healer check him over."Leo shook his head quickly. "No. The bad man grabbed her. I have to stay. Mummy isn't here to protect her."His words cut straight through the anger boiling inside me. For a second, I couldn't breathe. My son was barely more than a pup, yet he was standing guard over his sister because I hadn't been able to keep their mother safe. I forced myself to remain calm and drop

KILLIAN.I read the Black Haven activity report again and again, but the glowing lines on the screen refused to change no matter how many times I went through them. The system confirmed a perfect match—heartbeat pattern, wolf signature, blood profile, and several security markers I barely understood. Claude stood beside me with his arms crossed, repeating his explanation like saying it again would somehow make the truth easier to accept."Someone may have copied her biometric data, Killian. It's possible with the right resources and enough time."I shook my head, my jaw tight. "Miller Security doesn't make mistakes like that. A perfect match means Candice personally tried to open the file."The realization sat heavily in my stomach. I pictured her leaving Crescent Moon that night, abandoning her car on the empty woodland road, wiping every tracker from her phone, and disappearing without leaving anything behind for us to follow. For the first time since she vanished, a possibility I h

CLAUDE.I spent the entire drive back to Crescent Moon trying to understand how the Council had managed to get a blood order in less than twenty-four hours. A blood order wasn't some normal custody document. It gave the Council temporary authority to remove a child if an inherited wolf ability was considered unstable, dangerous, or important enough to require neutral assessment and containment. I kept glancing at Killian in the passenger seat. His jaw was locked so tightly I was surprised he hadn't cracked a tooth."Lia is five years old," he growled, gripping the door handle. "She hasn't done anything except sense her mother. How is that unstable or dangerous?"Aldric, sitting in the back, spoke with the heavy weight of old memories in his voice. "The Blood Keepers once used similar laws to gain access to children from rare bloodlines. The modern Council supposedly ended those practices generations ago, but laws are only as good as the people enforcing them. This feels like the old g

KILLIAN.I carried Lia back to her bedroom, her small body warm with fever against my chest. She held onto me the whole way, her breathing shaky but steady. I refused to leave her side until the healer confirmed her fever had finally started to drop. I sat on the edge of her bed, one hand resting gently on her forehead as I watched every small movement and every flutter of her eyelashes. The room felt too quiet after all the chaos downstairs. Everything Lia had said kept playing in my head, the weight of it pressing down on me like heavy stones.Aldric paced near the window, rubbing his temples. "Blood echoes should only recognize direct blood connections. Feeling Candice through Marcus doesn't fit any record I've studied. It shouldn't even be possible."Adrian leaned against the wall with his arms crossed. "She may not be sensing Marcus himself. If he's recently been close to Candice, Lia could be following some emotional imprint left through prolonged contact. Scent, touch, fear—tho
