Ava’s point of viewThe next morning. Bloodmoon Pack’s central square.The air was cold. Wind skimmed across her cheeks like a blade, sharp and mean.She pushed open the main house door. She had on tactical boots and black cargo pants. The outfit felt heavy, the weight of it pressing down on her shoulders like a reminder she couldn’t dodge.Adrian walked beside her. He was dressed in a black suit, clean and severe. He didn’t say a word.They got into the car. The driver started the engine. The vehicle rolled toward the square.She stared out the window. Trees slid backward in a blur.She needed this win. She needed everyone to shut up.The car came to a stop.She pushed the door open and stepped out. Then she headed for the raised platform. Adrian followed a step behind her.There were people everywhere below the stage. The council members sat in the front row, wrapped in gray robes. Bloodm

Ava’s point of viewThe snow was up to her knees.Every time Ava stepped down, her boots sank into the loose white powder with a dull, muffled thump. The freezing air rushed into her lungs like she’d swallowed a fistful of crushed ice. Ten people were walking ahead of her. Their pace was steady, their shoulders broad, their breathing even. Not one of them looked back.A drone circled about thirty meters overhead. She knew the camera was locked on her. Every screen in Los Angeles was broadcasting this moment. Everyone was watching.She could not mess this up.The man at the very front was Marcus. He had originally been the captain of this squad. One point nine two meters tall, with an old scar across his neck that ran from the base of his left ear all the way to his collarbone. He was a seasoned fighter trained in the Bloodmoon Pack camp. From the moment they set out until now, he hadn’t said a single word to her.Ava adjust

Ava’s POVSonia’s knee slammed into the snow. I had her right arm locked at a fixed angle. The shoulder socket could only rotate outward ninety degrees before things went bad. I held her at eighty-seven. Three more degrees, and her ligaments would tear.She didn’t scream. She just gritted her teeth hard enough to make her jaw shake. The color was draining from her face fast."Listen carefully." I bent down, keeping my voice low enough that only she could hear. "I don’t need to be stronger than you. I just need to know which way your bones stop moving."Then I let go.Sonia pitched forward and nearly face-planted. She caught herself with one hand in the snow, dragged in two rough breaths, then lifted her head to look at me. Something in her eyes had changed. There was pain there, sure. Anger too. But there was something else mixed in.Confusion.She couldn’t wrap her head around how an Omega had pulled tha

Ava’s POVFive half-shifted figures stopped at the edge of the trees. Their fangs were bared, and the tips of their claws sliced through the air, stirring thin streams of white mist.The young male in front locked his eyes on Ava. His pupils were slit, his irises burnt to a harsh amber-yellow. His chest rose and fell hard, fast, like he was forcing air into lungs that didn’t trust what they were seeing."No way," he said. The words scraped out from deep in his throat, rough and shaking with that half-wolf rasp. "Gray can punch through sheet metal with one hit. You’re just an Omega—"Ava pressed her thumb another half millimeter into Gray’s carotid.Gray let out a raw, broken cry. The sound tore out of his chest like metal grinding over stone. His whole spine arched off the ground, back muscles spasming under Ava’s knee. His left hand clawed wildly at the snow, fingers curled so hard they looked deformed, nails sn
