Alpha’s Claimed Mate.
He was nearly over the ridge when something moved in the trees.
Too late.
A dark blur struck from the left. He hit the ground hard, rolled, tried to shift—but another figure stepped out of the brush, graceful and cruel: Lark.

“What’s the rush?” he asked, voice soft, predatory.
The courier tried to bite down on the capsule in his back molar—standard fail-safe.
Lark caught his jaw mid-motion and crushed it between her thumb and forefinger. There was a muffled scream. Blood. Silence.
