The Trapped Heiress
Pack records weren't written for outsiders, and half of what she read assumed knowledge she didn't have, but patience paid off, piece by piece.
The first real find came buried in a decades-old bulletin, yellowed and brittle, filed under an incident report rather than a news article. It described, in clipped official language, the disappearance of the young Alpha heir Noah, no older than seven at the time snatched from pack territory during a period of rogue attack. The pack had mobilized every tracker they had, and weeks passed with nothing.
Then came the second half of the story, and Laurel read it twice to make sure she wasn't misunderstanding.
