LYRA NIGHTBANE"She submitted to my bite at eighteen," Kaelen growls, his massive hand clamping around my wrist as his gold eyes flare with absolute dominance. "Why are you acting like she is free game, Charles?"Charles's jaw clenches, his fingers digging hard into the armrest of his wheelchair as he glares at Kaelen’s raw display of possessiveness. "A true she-wolf does not run away from her master if she actually wants to be claimed.""Are you questioning my claim?" Kaelen snaps, his deep voice carrying a threat that makes the nearby pack members slide back in fear."I am questioning if she actually wants to be here," Charles answers coldly, his eyes searching my face for any sign of a plea."Samuel and Liora are waiting in our chambers right now," Kaelen snarls, ignoring him completely as he yanks me toward the stone stairs.His grip is like a vice, his sharp claws pressing right against my pulse point as he drags me through the whispering crowd of northern wolves. My ankle scream

“I need you to listen to me,” I whispered, my voice shaking as I reached out to pull both my pups tightly against my chest.Orion wiped his wet cheeks with the back of his hand, his little shoulders shaking as he sobed. “I did not do anything wrong, Mommy. It is my fault. I did not protect you. I am the future Alpha of this family, but I let them take you. I am sorry.”“Oh, my sweet boy.” I pressed his face into my neck, the thick, metallic scent of my own tears mixing with his clean pup scent. He was so young, yet he was already trying to carry the weight of the entire Duskwild Expanse on his back.My chest ached so hard I could barely breathe, a hot, sour wave rising in my throat as I looked at my babies.Kaelen stepped closer, his heavy shadow falling over us as his large, scarred hand gently patted Orion’s dark hair.My body shivered at his near touch, my inner wolf stirring with a sudden, angry heat that I forced back down. He was the one who had let Mirelle Ashen ruin us, yet he

I snatched up the heavy hockey jersey I had stripped off earlier, holding the thick fabric toward Kaelen’s face. "Look at the crest."Kaelen didn't know the first thing about textile manufacturing, and his confused frown told me he couldn't see anything unusual."The weave is made of high-grade northern wolf-silk," I said, my voice rising with excitement as I traced the emblem of our team. "It is not sold in the southern markets anymore, but Charles knows the master weaver who specializes in harvesting this thread. I want to hire him to manufacture our pack’s official athletic gear.""It is unbelievably durable," I added, rubbing the slick material between my fingers. "It resists silver-tipped slashes and does not tear under claws, making it perfect for the ice rink during high-impact matches."I could go on forever when it came to the technical gear for our pack's professional hockey franchise.Kaelen just stared at me in the dim light, his chest rising and falling as his gold eyes s

I opened my mouth to explain the situation, but the shop worker screamed over me, “Lacey, don’t listen to her! This stray is the one who brought these brutes to smash our store. Have them thrown in the dungeon!”I glared at her.Kaelen handed Liora to me, his jaw set in a hard, uncompromising line. “Go wait for me in the transport. Now.”He intended to finish this here. Even though he wanted our son, Orion, to grow a spine and learn how to handle threats, he didn't want Liora exposed to such ugly, jagged violence.I clutched Liora to my chest, turning to leave, but Lacey Ward, the manager and the shop worker’s cousin, stepped forward to block my path.“This mess started because of you,” Lacey hissed, her eyes darting to Kaelen’s imposing frame. “You aren't leaving until this is made clear.”Kaelen looked up, his golden eyes cold enough to freeze blood. “Talk to me, not my Luna.”Lacey flinched, her breath hitching in her throat as she met his gaze.He looked even more lethal than Char

I pat Mirelle's shoulder and try to ease the tension in her scent. "It is fine, we will get through this."Once we secure the legendary ice hockey blade craftsman, our pack sports brand will dominate the entire northern territory.Mirelle fills me in on what happened at the arena store while we walk up the stairs of the lodge.Boyce arranged a massive feast in the private dining hall of the Crimson Fang Lodge to welcome Armand and Theresa.Liora is rubbing her eyes, her little wolf pup ears twitching sleepily as she reaches up toward Kaelen. "Daddy, hold me while I sleep."She is so spoiled when it comes to him. She wraps her small arms around his neck and buries her face in his shoulder.Kaelen kisses her forehead, his hard expression melting completely at the sight of our daughter.He looks over at me, his deep voice sending a shiver right down my spine. "I will take her up to the chamber first."I nod, letting him go.With Kaelen gone, I use my fork to pile more meat into Orion's p
