he stated honestly, refusing to hide his prints. “The wretch earned every ounce of the acid.” I reached across the center console, wrapping my heavy palm around Collins’s fingers. “Maintain your position inside the villa borders from this sun forward. Avoid the crowded trade lanes. If a rogue strike breaches your guard, the pressure will not only put the successor in jeopardy—your own frame will sustain the damage.” “Is your wolf incapable of projecting a positive outcome for my line?” Collins frowned, his brow furrowing. “My heart demands a clean winter for you and the cub more than any force in Valeria, but my dreams have been flooded with severe nightmares lately.”

By morning, the scandal had flooded every underworld channel. “Cole Family Don Frozen by Council—Illegal Funds, Broken Alliances Exposed.” “Heir Violates Blood Law—Wife Turns the Trap Back on Him.” Allies demanded reassessment. Neutral Families withdrew support. Long-standing agreements were suspended overnight. No one rushed to defend a fallen Don. Not when the Council had already marked him for removal. Not when the law was coming next. Neutral Families withdrew support. Accounts locked. Operations stalled. The empire wavered. Noah Grant was arrested within days—taken from his home by city authorities on charges of fraud and collusion.

Plus, the problem was not in the villagers themselves but it was rooted in the corrupt ministers who thought of nothing but themselves and fulfilled their greed while those who shed sweat every day were starving. General Kyan realized that his opponent was driven by anger, making her defense vulnerable. He did admit to himself that despite his opponent being a girl, she was more skilled than he expected. Plus, he could only think that she achieved such skills through rigorous training which only confirmed his suspicion that they were not ordinary travelers. Thus, when he saw her coming to attack him once again, he blocked her swing, making their swords create a loud clang before he took a st

There was no doubt that the young man in front of him was Arkin Dio Amiel Josiah von Clandestine— the one and only crown prince of the empire. Amir felt a sudden chill followed by a slight pain in his temple. He closed his eyes and grimaced from the pain then he immediately stood up when he heard the icy voice in his head. “Retreat.” He bowed at Dio before he stood up and took a step backward. “Forgive my rudeness, but we will need to continue this conversation next time. Dio’s eyes grew wide when he saw that the attackers pulled scrolls from their pockets and tear them apart. Another teleportation scroll was ripped in front of him and he failed to take even one hostage!

The sole food that keeps me sane, alive, and stronger. As I fill my stomach with it, I stared at the wall just in front of my desk. Photos. Lots of it. At the university’s main gate, at the convenience store, in front of the dormitory building, even on a random road. Different places, day or night. But with the same person in every piece of it. Eliana Deere, of the very powerful Deere clan. One of the biggest, strongest, of all the pack. The only daughter of Boss R, with the inheritance of the throne just waiting for her. Eliana, you make me go speechless by how dumb you are. Turning your back against your pack to bump shoulders with humans, live in a room where humans sleep, eat what they e

Determined. Something stirred within Chloe, battling against the fear that wrapped around her like cutting chains. Whatever it was waking up inside of her reacted to the presence of this male as he dominated the space around them. The winds had cut across his cheeks and nose to leave them pink and flecks of snow clung desperately to the wisps of jet black hair peeking out from under his woollen hat. He looked different in what appeared to be fatigues. There were crisp sharp edges that were almost as deadly as the assault rifle strapped to him. The black of the material seemed to absorb the light around it. He looked deadly and it had Chloe's mouth drying up as a curious thirst wracked her. A

He glanced at me, waiting, but I didn’t move. He pressed on. “The Black Fog is one of the few gangs bold enough to openly challenge Klaus’s authority. To the public, they’re just a notorious crew, anti-Klaus. But in the underworld, they’re something else. They’ve made moves to overthrow him, even using force. They’ve failed every time...but they're still trying.” I clenched my fists, my jaw tightening. “And Reid?” “If the person wearing that ring is the one you think is tied to your family’s deaths…” Marcus paused, his voice lowering. “Then the person you were hired to protect Reid from… is the one who killed them.”

A faint click sounded, followed by the slow grind of a concealed door sliding open. Inside was a safe—my own personal vault. It held only the things that mattered. Money, letters, secrets no one else would ever see. And the stolen book. I pulled it free, my hands steady despite the storm in my mind. The cover was worn, the edges frayed, but the power within had never faded. I flipped through the brittle pages, scanning the text with a sharp, desperate focus. Then I found it—The Mark of the Triarch. The inked script told a story as old as the first wars of our kind. Unlike the Mark of the Septarch, which granted sevenfold power, the Mark of the Triarch was lesser—but just as powerful. An awak

The two of them crashed to the ground, claws flashing in the dim light. "You're a dead man, Grim Jack," Claw hissed, his claws digging deep into the traitor's chest. Grim Jack laughed, a cold, mirthless sound. "You're too late, Claw. The damage is done. Aiden's plan is already in motion." Claw's eyes narrowed. "What plan? What have you done?" Grim Jack's smile grew wider. "You'll find out soon enough. But for now... goodbye, Claw." With a final snarl, Claw ended Grim Jack's treachery, his claws sinking deep into the traitor's heart.

“If I lose myself… if I become what they fear—you end me.” Darius’s hands shook. “I don’t want this.” “But I need you to have it.” He closed his fist around the hilt. “Then swear something to me.” “No more secrets.” Ava nodded slowly. “I swear.” And for the first time in days… he pulled her into his arms. —THE STORM GATHERS As the army drew closer to the Citadel, scouts returned with word. Council wolves were on the move. But so were traitors within the bloodlines. Rebels rising in secret. A mysterious force forming in the east—following a second flame sigil.
