"Merritt, I'll ask you one more time," Seth Adebayo barked, his low voice vibrating right through the Shadow Den door as the blood-red emergency light painted the corridor. "Did you really kill Rapha Okoye?""Yes, Alpha Adebayo!" Merritt yelled back from the upper deck, his voice crackling through the vessel's internal speaker systems. "Everything has been taken care of! The male Luna is dead, his body fed to the sea! You have nothing to worry about!"I leaned against the iron doorframe, my silver dagger dripping rogue blood onto my boots. My heart hammered against my ribs while my male wolf growled low in my chest.On the upper deck monitor, Seth's lips twisted into a cold, terrifying smile. The ambient temperature in the Alpha Hall plummeted as his dominant ozone aura flared out, crushing every weak rogue in the room."No male was ever more dear to me than Rapha," Seth said, his voice flat, completely devoid of warmth. "No matter how much trouble he caused, or how boldly he challeng

"Rapha, what are you doing?" Hailee sobbed, her fingers digging into the hem of my dark trench coat as the steel door of the Hidden Chamber groaned under heavy boot kicks outside. "They have silver-tipped assault rifles! They're going to tear us apart!""Get inside the iron armory box, Hailee," I rasped, my male wolf roaring beneath my skin as my claws extended, slicing through my own leather gloves. "Seth Adebayo is tearing through the main deck right now, and I'm not letting Amara Mensah escape this vessel alive.""You can't fight five armed wolves by yourself!" she shrieked, her voice shaking violently. "Your mate bond isn't even fully sealed yet! Your body can't take the backlash!""My body thrives on the backlash," I growled, my amber eyes flashing hot in the dark room. "Now crawl inside and lock the latch from the interior. If you make a single sound before I come back for you, I'll let the Adebayo executioners deal with you myself."Hailee didn't hesitate again. She scrambled i

"Talk!" Seth Adebayo growled, his low voice vibrating through the bloody hallway as he dragged a wounded Mensah Clan enforcer off the floor by his tactical collar. "Where did you kill Rapha Okoye?"Terror washed over the injured wolf, his golden eyes wide with panic as Seth's dominant Alpha pressure crushed the air right out of his lungs. "I—I didn't do it! He was taken to the fifth floor, that's all I know! If the male Luna is dead, it happened up there!"Without another word, Seth shoved the dying rogue aside, his bloodshot eyes locking onto the dark stairwell leading up into the sinking vessel."Seth, wait!" Aron warned, reloading his silver sidearm beside Hugh. "There are five levels of Mensah mercenaries between us and the top deck! We need to fallback to the warship!""I'm not leaving without my mate," Seth snarled, his wolf clawing beneath his skin as his jaw set hard."We're right behind you, Alpha," Hugh said, his bare claws extending as Allan, Merlin, and Manley closed rank

"That’s the male Luna!" Aron shouted, his voice brimming with excitement.Just moments earlier, Rapha Okoye had shot them a quick glance, and Aron had caught a glimpse of his distinctive tactical markings across his jaw. It was dramatic, unmistakable, and nothing like anyone else on this vessel. There was no doubt. It had to be him.Aron, Hugh, and Myles surged after Seth Adebayo, plunging straight into the fray.Moments later, the final Mensah Clan goon hit the floor, and the relentless gunfire faded into a stunned silence.Manley stood frozen, his mouth agape. "No way. That badass is Rapha Okoye?" He swung around, searching Allan’s and Merlin’s faces, as if he needed confirmation that he wasn't dreaming.Allan stared, completely stunned, while Merlin’s scowl deepened, his sharp wolf ears twitching in the dark corridor.After dispatching the last rogue, my sharp amber eyes darted across the chaotic hallway to confirm the danger had passed. Only then did I pivot, catching sight of Set

"With today’s pack tech?" Merlin snapped, his wolf ears pinning back as his voice cut cold through the damp hallway. "I don’t need a male mate to secure an heir for my territory.""Fair point," Manley muttered, nodding slowly as the ship listed another five degrees into the freezing sea. "But still, Merlin... what's life without a male mate to drive your wolf wild?"Manley pointed a calloused finger straight at Seth, who was still locked around me like a ravenous beast. "You telling me your inner wolf doesn't feel a twitch of jealousy, seeing Alpha Adebayo hold his mate like that? No urge to sink your claws into someone of your own?"Merlin’s history as a black-ops assassin in the border wars had turned his human side to absolute stone. Every fiber of his bloodline remained trapped in the brutal rush of high-stakes pack battles and throat-slitting missions. His face was a carved mask of iron, devoid of warmth, and his dark eyes never lingered on any male wolf who crossed his path. He

"Seth, get down!" I scream, my male wolf roaring in absolute terror as the sharp scent of copper fills my nose.In that split second, acting on pure instinct, Seth Adebayo spins around, wrapping his massive arms around my broad shoulders. He uses his heavier frame to completely shield my body from the corridor, leaving no thought for his own survival.The silver bullet misses my chest and tears directly into his shoulder instead.Guns bark instantly beside us as Hugh and Aron return fire, their heavy pistols blowing the rogue enforcer straight backward into the iron elevator shaft. The threat is gone, but the damage is done.Dark, hot Alpha blood pours violently from Seth’s shoulder, staining his leather tactical vest.My face drains of color as I drop to my knees beside him, my hands shaking violently as I press against his wound. "How bad is it? Speak to me, Alpha!"The pain is clearly excruciating, his dominant wolf snarling beneath his skin, but Seth doesn't even flinch. He forces

"Wait, hold up," I call out after Merlin, my voice echoing down the blood-stained corridor of the sinking vessel. "Vivian Mensah is in the chamber right next to Room 1, completely out cold. Someone has to carry him down before the lower deck floods."I don't give a damn about Vivian's miserable life, but his brother Lenard has always been a decent warrior to my bloodline—a rare, steady ally in this corrupt territory. For Lenard's sake, I can't let his brother drown like a trapped rat in this floating graveyard.Dragging Vivian out alive squares my personal debt with Lenard once and for all.At the sound of Vivian's name, Merlin freezes dead in his tracks, his rugged jaw clenching as absolute revulsion twists his face.Every Alpha and Beta in Valoria Ridge knows Vivian Mensah is hopelessly obsessed with Merlin, pulling every desperate, pathetic scheme in the book to claim him as a male mate. Too bad for Vivian, Merlin hates romantic bullshit and is completely disgusted by the male's re

"Keep your filthy teeth off my skin, pup!" Merlin's harsh, authoritative growl rips through the narrow holding cell as the small male sinks his fangs deep into his wrist.I stand on the wet deck of the lower corridor, my ears twitching as the echoing commotion from the fifth floor reaches me. Beside me, Seth grunts, his heavy Alpha body leaning into my shoulder, his warm breath burning against my neck despite the silver bullet wound tore into his shoulder minutes ago. Dark, hot blood leaks through the tight tourniquet I bound around his flesh."He's taking too long with your friend, Rapha," Seth mutters, his low, gravelly voice dripping with possessive heat. His large, calloused hand slips down my spine, his thick fingers gripping my waist to pull my hips flush against his. "My wolf wants us off this sinking boat and back in the den.""Nia isn't just my friend, Seth," I snap back, my amber eyes flashing red as I shift my weight to keep him upright. "He's an Okoye warrior. My mother, N

“You vile bastard! If you’re going to kill me, just get it over with! Quit playing with me!” Nia snaps, his throat raw, his hands clawing at my tactical vest as I lift him off the cold iron floor.I don’t bother asking for the male’s permission. I sweep Nia straight up into my arms without hesitation. Judging by his trembling frame and bleeding lips, this small Okoye wolf has zero chance of walking down five flights of flooded stairs on his own feet.Even though Nia’s limbs have completely given out, his dark eyes burn with a stubborn, frantic fire. That outburst, though meant to strike fear into an enemy Alpha, lands with all the weight of a newborn pup’s hiss.Looking down at him, my lips curl into a sharp grin, an unfamiliar flicker of amusement warming my chest. This male can barely hold his head up, yet he’s still trying to bare his claws at a dominant warrior. The wild contradiction doesn’t escape my inner wolf. Blood from my bitten wrist still paints his lips, turning them a st

“That’s an interesting way to show gratitude, pup,” Merlin sneers, his sharp golden eyes narrowing as he looks down at the bleeding puncture marks on his arm.He raises his left wrist, blood still trailing faintly from where Nia’s teeth had ripped through his flesh, and adds with a dark smirk, “Is this how the Okoye Bloodline says thank you? By sinking your fangs into your savior?”Nia’s face turns bright red instantly. It is mortifying—absolutely mortifying. “I’m sorry, warrior,” Nia stammers, his small hands clutching the oversized tactical jacket Merlin had wrapped around him. “I was terrified out of my mind. The Mensah Clan told me everyone was dead, so I thought you were another executioner coming to finish me off. I honestly have no idea what to say to make things right or get an Alpha like you to forgive me.”Nia desperately tries to think of a way to repay him. He considers offering to cook a meal at his father’s small territorial outpost, hoping a home-cooked feast might serv
