Chapter 1

I was sitting in the garden, flipping through the couture catalog that had just arrived from Paris. I'd been looking for ages and still couldn't decide which dress to wear tonight.Jenna burst in with a few young pack guards and kicked over the tea table. Scalding black tea splashed all over my white dress.She was one of the pack's warriors, and she'd always been in love with Leo. She thought I wasn't good enough for him."Claire, you've sure got a lot of free time!"She bared her claws and leaned down to scream in my face. "Leo is risking his life at the border, and you, a human reject who can't even shift, are sitting here picking out stupid dresses!"Laughter broke out all around us.One young guard whistled. "What else is she good for besides lying in the Alpha's bed?"Another one sneered. "The Alpha would be better off keeping a rabbit. At least a rabbit can have a litter."Tea dripped down the hem of my dress. I pulled out a napkin, dabbed at it, and looked up at Jenna."Leo's h

Leo's combat vest was soaked with blood, his chest was covered in bite wounds, and the flesh around his left shoulder had been burned by the silver blade.Relief loosened the knot in my chest when I saw that he had made it back on his own, and I hurried over to support him."You're running around with wounds this bad? Do you have a death wish?"Leo was breathing hard, but his gaze softened when it landed on my face."Baby, don't be scared. I'm fine."He clasped my hand with his bloodied fingers and managed a strained smile. "The guards just told me rogues got into the garden. Are you okay?"The dagger with Marcus's name carved on it was still by my feet. I was about to tell him the three wolves were already dead when Jenna pushed her way over with a medical kit.As she handed the kit to the healer, she complained, "Alpha, I don't understand why you care about her so much!"This woman can't shift, can't fight, and can't give you strong pups. What else is she good for besides dragging yo

Grace had followed me into the council hall just in time to hear me ask who would warm my feet.She'd held back her anger for so long that she finally snapped. She charged toward me, pointed a finger at my face, and screamed."Claire, do you even have a heart?"Daniel is still unconscious, Ethan and Caleb are being tortured in silver cages, and Leo even gave up the escape tunnel for you. And all you can think about is dresses and warm feet."The elders around us looked furious too. They obviously all thought I was as selfish as they come.Grace grew more and more worked up. "You're nothing but dead weight dragging Leo down. How can you be so selfish!"Leo pushed himself up from the table and stepped in front of me.A powerful wave of pressure spread out from him, forcing Grace back two steps."Mom, I'm only going to say this once more. Do not insult Claire."Leo's wound was still bleeding, but he didn't back down. "Nobody. Not even you."Grace glared at her son and slapped him across t

I kicked open the doors to the great hall. A few elders who'd already surrendered were kneeling in the corner, and Jenna stood beside the rogues with a fawning smile.In the middle of the hall, several rogue leaders had Leo pinned to the floor. Marcus's combat boot was on his back, and he drove a silver-coated dagger hard into Leo's thigh.Leo's whole body convulsed. Sweat mingled with the blood streaming down him, but he clenched his teeth and refused to beg.When he saw me walk in, his bloodshot eyes went wide.Though his chest and shoulders were covered in wounds and a silver rod had shattered his spine, Leo threw off the wolves around him. Dragging his injured leg, he crawled toward me until he was between me and Marcus."Claire, why did you come back? Run, get out of here!"I crouched down and wrapped my arms around his neck. "I'm not leaving. I can't sleep without you holding me."Leo went still, then hugged me back tight with his bloody hands."You idiot. You're going to get you

Chapter 5

When their thunderous greeting faded, only ragged breathing filled the hall.Jenna, who had been smiling to please Marcus a moment ago, fell to the floor. Grace covered her mouth, and even the wounded Daniel pushed himself upright on the bench.Leo froze in front of me. His gaze moved from the five kneeling captains to the doorway, then back to me.Three thousand giant wolves kept their heads bowed and their throats exposed. None of them dared to move first."Claire..."Leo grabbed my wrist, his voice hoarse. "What did they just call you?""The First White Alpha Queen."Basil, the captain kneeling at the front, looked up and answered solemnly. "The queen who ruled every pack ten years ago, and the one and only master of the Silver Moon Court."Jenna suddenly screamed. "It's fake, it's all fake!"She scrambled to her feet and pointed at me, shouting to everyone. "I've lived with her for three years. All she smells like is human perfume, and she doesn't give off even a hint of Alpha powe

Chapter 6

When the table flew aside, Jenna and Morton tumbled to my feet, clinging to each other.They were both scared out of their minds. Morton forgot all about his dignity as head elder and groveled at my feet, striking his forehead against the floor again and again."Spare me, White Alpha Queen! I was deceived!"After his forehead split open, he grabbed Jenna by the hair and dragged her in front of everyone."This bitch did it all. She was jealous that you were Leo's mate, so she sold his patrol routes to Marcus!"Jenna shrieked in pain and clawed Morton's face. "You old bastard, you took a whole case of gold bars, and you have the nerve to put all the blame on me?"You had the key to the side gate by the hill behind the castle!"You got the silver cages ready too, and you promised to lure Ethan and Caleb in and hand them over to Marcus!"The two of them grappled on the floor, and with every accusation, another sordid deal came to light.Morton had changed the border defenses, and Jenna had

Chapter 7

Grace threw herself at Marcus, grabbed him by the collar, and demanded to know where her sons were being held.Marcus grinned and laughed, sure he'd finally found my weak spot."Get on your knees and beg me. Then have this woman tear out her own wolf core with her bare hands, and I might leave your sons alive, but only barely!"Leo grabbed the silver blade and pressed it to Marcus's throat. "Tell us where they are!""Kill me, and they die with me."Marcus raised his chin defiantly. "My hideout is three miles from here, and I'm the only one who knows the way in. You could search until next year and never find it!"The guard standing behind me looked up, waiting for orders."Did you hear all that?" I waved a hand at him. "Five minutes. Bring back the hostages and the serum, and don't leave a single guard alive."The guard obeyed and leaped through the shattered window. Several gray shadows followed him and vanished from sight.Marcus laughed even more wildly. "Five minutes? You think the

A message was scrawled on the pelt in blood: Leo was to come to Death Gorge alone before dawn.Marcus stood at the edge of a cliff with Grace and Daniel tied up. He warned that if the Silver Moon Court made a move, he would cut off their arms and legs and throw them into the abyss.As soon as Basil read the message, he gathered the guards to go after Marcus.But Leo put a hand on his shoulder. "Marcus has my parents. We can't storm in.""I can circle around to the back of the gorge and get them out.""No. The hunters left pure silver traps buried back there. If we tip him off, my parents won't survive."Leo burned the pelt and turned to look at the closed bedroom door. "Don't tell Claire about this yet."Basil lowered his voice. "My Queen will find out sooner or later.""By the time she wakes up, I'll already have brought them back."Leo didn't believe it himself, but he still ordered everyone to stay at the castle and not follow him.Back in the bedroom, Leo walked barefoot to the bed

Chapter 9

The moment he heard my voice, Leo stopped and looked up, panic all over his face."Claire, what are you doing here? Their guns are loaded with pure silver shot!"Once I landed beside him, I kicked the dagger away, then hauled this disobedient dumb mutt to his feet.Marcus was trembling at first, but once he realized I'd come alone, his fear turned to wild delight."You actually dared to come alone!"He scanned the area, made sure the 3,000 Silver Moon wolves hadn't shown up, then laughed at the top of his lungs. "Without those guards protecting you, what can one woman possibly do?"Leo stepped in front of me again. "Claire, find a chance to get out of here. I'll hold them off for you.""Your spine hasn't even healed, and you're already trying to play the hero."I grabbed him by the collar and tossed him behind me. "Stay put. If you run off one more time, you're sleeping on the floor when we get home."The smile froze on Marcus's face, and then he barked the order in a rage. "Fire! Shoo

Chapter 10

After we got back to the castle, Leo didn't let go of my hand once.Even while the healer was treating his wounds again, he insisted on holding me on his lap, as if I'd disappear the second he let go.That night, after I showered, he hugged me from behind, rested his chin on top of my head, and was quiet for a long time."Claire, am I really that useless?"His muffled voice was right by my ear. I turned around to look at him. "Who's been talking nonsense in front of you again?""No one would dare say it. I figured it out on my own."Leo lowered his head, his gray eyes full of hurt. "I said I'd protect you my whole life, and every time, you're the one who has to save me."You're so strong. Someday, are you going to decide I'm too weak and throw me away, the way you threw away those fangs ten years ago?"The Alpha whose name made the whole North tremble looked just like a big dog afraid of being abandoned.Over the past ten years, I'd seen too many Alphas kill their own family for power.
