KiraI hear the footsteps before I see them, and that's the first mistake I've made in months.The rabbit is still warm in my hand, its neck snapped clean, and for one stupid, hungry second I let myself feel proud of that instead of paying attention to the ground under my feet. That's when I catch it. The scent marking the trees around me isn't ours. It isn't anyone's I recognize. It's claimed land, layered and reinforced the way only a serious pack marks its borders, and I'm standing dead center of it with blood still on my hands and no idea how far I've wandered."Toren," I breathe, already turning to retrace my steps.I don't get the chance.They come from two directions at once, which tells me everything I need to know before they even open their mouths. They didn't stumble on me. They tracked me. I bolt anyway, because eight months of surviving on nothing but instinct doesn't leave room for standing still and hoping for mercy, and within seconds I'm surrounded, four of them, wolv

KiraThey lead me into a wide hall with high beams and a long table at its center, and I count exits out of habit before I even register how many people are watching me do it.Six council members besides the alpha and his sons.

Elias, Kai, and Rhys have taken seats near their father, and even seated, even composed, I can feel all three of them watching me like I might disappear if they look away."I am Aldric," the older man says.

Kira*The forest doesn't look the same going back.Fear sharpened every branch and shadow on the way in, every root a potential threat, and now, walking between two men who could tear apart anything that came at us without much effort, the same stretch of trees feels almost ordinary. Almost."You keep looking at the trees like they've done something to you," Elias says, breaking the quiet we've been walking in for several minutes."Habit." I glance at him sideways. "You spend enough time out here alone, you start reading everything as a threat until proven otherwise.""That sounds exhausting.""It is." A beat. "It's also why I'm alive."He doesn't answer right away, and I watch something complicated move across his face, admiration tangled with something darker, something that looks almost like anger on my behalf, though I can't imagine why a stranger would feel that on my account."How long were you tracking that rabbit," Rhys asks from my other side, his tone deliberately light, lik
