SERENA POVThe lights went out.For three seconds, nobody moved. I counted them, because counting was the only thing keeping my heart from climbing out of my throat.Then Kael's voice came from right beside me. "Serena. Stay close."I groped through the dark until my fingers found his. "I'm here. Where else would I go? I'm seven months pregnant, not exactly built for stealth.""Good. Keep it that way."Somewhere in the blackness, a gun clicked. Nadia's own weapon was out before I even heard her move. "Everyone down. Now."I crouched, one hand braced over my stomach. Adrian slid along the wall, muttering curses as he hunted for the backup controls. K-00 didn't move at all. He stood perfectly still, staring at the window like it had said his name."There," he said quietly.A shadow slid across the curtains. Kael was gone from my side before I could breathe. The window exploded inward, glass spraying across the floor like hail. I screamed as arms dragged me against a hard chest, and I re

SERENA POVThe screen went black.For several seconds, nobody moved. I could still hear that voice echoing in my skull. I'm your sister.But something about it felt wrong. It wasn't that I didn't want a sister. It was that the whole message felt too clean, too perfectly aimed, like a hook dangled in front of a starving fish.Kael noticed my face. "Serena?""Something doesn't add up."Adrian stepped toward the dead screen. "Start with what's bothering you.""The message." I lifted the photograph with fingers that wouldn't stay steady. "They wanted us to see this. They left a door open, wrote our names on it, and put a bow on the handle."K-00 turned sharply. "Yes. They wanted you to believe it.""What do you mean?" Nadia asked."I don't know who that woman is."My heart sank. "But you recognized the facility.""Yes.""The photographs?""Yes.""The designation S-00?"He hesitated, and that hesitation told me everything before his answer did. "No.""You've never heard of S-00?""Not in t

SERENA POVThe convoy stopped outside the estate, and nobody moved.I stood beside Kael, staring through the window at the man who had been circled in K-00's photograph. The current head of the Blackwood Council. Alistair Blackwood.I had seen him before. At council meetings. At Kael's succession hearings. At the ceremony where they questioned whether Kael was fit to lead. He had always watched Kael like a problem waiting to be solved, and I had never realized he was looking at the result of his own work.Kael turned to me. "Stay with Nadia.""No.""Serena.""You're not facing him alone."His eyes softened. "You don't have to protect me.""Obviously not. You're a grown Alpha with a very expensive jaw line. I just want to see his face when you win."A tired almost-smile touched his mouth. "That's your whole reason?""That, and I'd like to stand beside you." I took his hand. "Is that allowed?"He was quiet for a moment. Then he nodded. "Okay."One small word, and it carried far more tha

SERENA POVThe screen showed Adrian standing outside the estate, a gunman at his back, and my heart stopped.For one horrible second I forgot everything. Alistair. The trial. The guards ringing us in. All I could see was Adrian, hands slightly raised, face tight as he stared into the cameras.The speaker crackled. "Let's see what happens when someone else threatens the man she loves."My stomach twisted. The baby kicked, and my hand flew to my belly. Kael noticed, and his jaw tightened. Not over the baby. Over Adrian.He stood a few feet away, fists clenched, breathing slow. His eyes weren't black. That startled me. After all the lies and betrayal, I had braced for the old Kael, the possessive one, the man who would tear through anyone standing between him and me.Instead he whispered, "I'm afraid.""Good," Alistair said, smiling. Kael kept his eyes on the screen. "I'm afraid they'll kill him."My chest squeezed. Adrian. The man I had cheated with. The man I still had feelings for. Th

SERENA POVThe words stayed in my head, circling like vultures.I wasn't only part of Kael's treatment. I was part of the experiment.My stomach turned over."No."The word escaped before I could stop it. Kael looked at me, and I shook my head hard, as if I could throw the idea out of my skull."No. I wasn't. I was a child."Alistair watched me with an expression that made my skin crawl, calm and almost fond, the way someone looks at a clock they've wound themselves."You were," he said. Kael stepped forward, his shoulder brushing mine. "Don't."One word. Cold. Controlled. It was the voice he used when he was holding something terrible behind his teeth.Alistair smiled. "Still protecting her."Kael's hand tightened around mine. "Yes.""Even after learning she was part of the conditioning program?""She was a child," Kael said. "You keep using that word like it's a loophole. It's an indictment.""How could I be part of anything?" I demanded. "I didn't sign anything. I didn't even know

SERENA POVThe alarm kept screaming.STAGE THREE: LOSS.The words flashed across every screen, red light pulsing over the walls like a heartbeat gone wrong.ONLY ONE OF THEM LEAVES THE ESTATE.My hand stayed pressed over my stomach. The baby kicked again, hard, as if even my child hated the choice being forced on me.Adrian noticed. "Serena."I looked at him. His shirt was soaked with blood, his face bruised, and somehow he was still thinking clearly. It was infuriating and a little beautiful."We're not playing their game."I swallowed. "Kael is behind that door.""And I'm standing right here.""I know where you're standing, Adrian. I can see the blood.""Then you also see I'm not complaining.""You are literally complaining with your whole face.""Quietly. With dignity."I looked between him and the sealed corridor, and for once there was no easy answer. I loved Kael. I still wanted Adrian. And the people who had studied us had turned those feelings into weapons.A metallic voice ro

SERENA POV The machinery beneath the estate roared so loudly that the floor shook under my feet. NEXT SUBJECT: S-01. I stared at the words until they blurred. 'Subject. Not Serena. Not Alpha's wife. Subject.' Kael stepped in front of me before I could breathe. "Everyone out of the east wing! Nadia, get the medical team. Adrian, find out where that signal came from." Adrian arched an eyebrow, one hand pressed to his bleeding side. "You do realize you just gave me an order." "Yes." "And you expect me to follow it?" "Unless you'd rather faint dramatically in front of my guards." "I'm beginning to understand why Serena cheats on you." The silence that followed was spectacular. I stared at Adrian. Kael turned his head very slowly. "Adrian," I warned. "What? I'm injured. It affects my judgment." "Apparently it affects your survival instinct too." He grinned at me, and there it was again, that spark between us that had survived years of separation, terrible decis

SERENA POVEvery warrior in the council hall dropped to one knee.Every warrior except Kael.He stood beside me, staring at the name glowing on the screen.MARCUS BLACKWOOD, DESIGNATED SUCCESSOR.I turned to the man behind my husband. Marcus was tall and broad-shouldered, dressed in the black uniform reserved for senior Blackwoods, a thin scar running from his left temple to his jaw. He had spent the entire meeting standing silently behind the elders, and now he stepped forward like a man walking toward his own execution."Rise," he told the warriors.They obeyed. All of them. Even the ones who had sworn their loyalty to Kael.My stomach twisted. 'Sworn loyalty, and it lasted exactly as long as the first better offer.'"What is happening?" I whispered.Kael didn't answer. His eyes stayed locked on Marcus."I never wanted you to find out like this," Marcus said at last.Kael laughed once, and there was nothing in it. "Then you should have refused.""You think it was that simple?""I th

SERENA POVThe security alarm kept screaming.On the monitor, Daniel's name sat beneath the council's arrest order.SUBJECT: DANIELPATERNAL IDENTITY: ALISTAIR BLACKWOODCHARGE: UNLAWFUL CLAIM TO BLACKWOOD SUCCESSIONORDER: DETAIN IMMEDIATELY.I stared at the screen. Then I turned to Daniel, and my heart dropped.He was quiet. Daniel, who joked while surrounded by armed werewolves, who once called an Alpha's threat an expensive tantrum, who believed most problems yielded to money, sarcasm, or a well-timed insult. Now he looked as if someone had reached into his chest and taken out the part that held him up."Daniel?"Nothing. I touched his arm. "Look at me."His eyes finally found mine. "Alistair Blackwood," he said hoarsely. "The man who ordered Kael's conditioning. The man who took his mother. The man trying to destroy your family." He swallowed. "And apparently, my father."Nadia closed the file. "We don't know the record is genuine."Daniel laughed, and it was an ugly sound. "Of c

SERENA POVMy adoptive mother was alive.I kept repeating the words in my head while Kael studied the succession decree, because my mind refused to move past the sound of her voice. The woman who had raised me, scolded me, protected me, and then vanished in an explosion was alive somewhere, trying to warn me about a secret buried beneath the council hall.And she had mentioned Amelia Hart. Daniel's mother.I turned to him. "Your mother changed the name of the person who inherited the Blackwood pack."Daniel stared at the floor. "That's what she said.""Do you have any idea who she really was?""None." His voice came out small. "I spent years chasing her records. Every time I got close, someone slammed a door in my face." He looked at the decree and laughed without humor. "Now Alistair might be my father, my mother might have hidden the rightful Alpha, and the council wants me in handcuffs. Honestly, Serena, I preferred my old problems."Adrian leaned against the table. "Your old probl
