Lucas leaned forward in the leather chair and dragged a finger across the map until it stopped over the territories that once belonged to the Crescent Pack."I’m sure you’re all well aware that regarding the great battle five years ago,” he said ”Even if you weren't on the front lines, you certainly reaped the benefits afterward.” He glanced around the table, making sure they were listening. “Now, while we don't know exactly what happened to Valkira over these past five years, one thing is clear: she poses a threat to us all!”Lucas looked down at the map and rested his hand on it. “I’ve invited you here today because I want us to join forces and completely eradicate her."For a moment, the Alphas said nothing. Kelvin shifted in his chair and looked across the table at Lucas.“So, Alpha Lucas,” he said, “do you actually have a plan for how we're going to do this?”Lucas gave a small, cold smile and leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table as he looked at Kelvin.“Just killing

At the time of the call, Valkira was sitting in the back seat while Chris sat behind the wheel. The car was still parked, and he waited quietly as she spoke on the phone. When he glanced at her through the rearview mirror, he noticed the change in her almost immediately.She had been calm a few minutes earlier, but now she was sitting completely still, her attention fixed on the phone. Chris had seen her angry before, but this was different. He could feel the killing intent coming from the back seat, cold enough to make him uncomfortable. His hands tightened slightly around the steering wheel as he looked at her again through the mirror.Valkira said nothing for a few seconds as she held the phone to her ear. Her mind was still on what she had just heard. She tightened her grip on the phone and spoke in a cold, steady voice. "Where is he now?" she asked. Darius answered, "We don't know all the details yet. So far, we've only been able to get some basic information from the trade reg

The small stone was already in Chris's hand before anyone had time to react to Valkira's last words. He had picked it up earlier from the landscaping outside, and now he flicked it toward Nathan without hesitation.It was nothing more than a smooth piece of gravel, barely the size of his thumb, but Chris put enough force behind the throw to make it dangerous. The stone shot across the space between them so fast that Nathan had no time to react. He didn't see it coming until it was already too late.The stone hit him square in the jaw with a sickening crack. The force of it was so great that his heavy frame was lifted clean off the floor and sent flying backward across the red carpet. He barely had time to react before his body slammed into one of the massive display pillars, the impact cracking and shattering the marble veneer.He dropped heavily to the floor, landing in a crumpled heap. His jaw hung at an unnatural angle, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth as his eyes rol

For a few seconds, nobody knew what to say or even how to react. The crowd slowly backed toward the walls, keeping as much distance from the confrontation as possible. Nervous whispers spread through the hall as people glanced between Valkira and the second most powerful werewolf on the continent. Yet somehow, the man who was supposed to command everyone's respect was still lying flat on his face. They had no idea what the beat-up little badge meant, but they weren't stupid. The moment they saw how everyone reacted to it, they knew it wasn't something to take lightly. A few exchanged uneasy looks, suddenly much more careful about what they said and did. Whatever that badge represented, it carried enough authority to make even the boldest people in the room think twice. Valkira slipped the piece of metal back into the inner pocket of her coat. The moment it touched her chest, a strange heaviness settled over her. The sadness came so suddenly that she wasn't prepared for it. The co

The ruined hall still smelled of smoke and broken glass, with dark splashes of blood scattered across the marble floor. Fred and the other Alphas remained backed against the far wall, their faces pale and their hands shaking.The high society guests who had been hiding behind overturned tables slowly began to peek out. Their earlier confidence was gone, replaced by uneasy looks and obvious regret.They had chosen their side, now they were starting to realize just how much that choice might cost them.Valkira stood in the middle of the wreckage, her torn coat hanging loosely from her shoulders, silver hair catching the light above her.She slowly shook her head, then turned her cold gaze back toward Fred and the other Alphas. She took a single step forward. The sound of her boot echoed through the high ceilinged hall, and Fred and the others flinched. “Tell Lucas this for me,” she said, her voice carrying across the ruined hall. “Hiding in the dark won’t save him. Five years ago, he
