While he was in the meeting, I wandered off into the territory to hunt alone. But I got lost—and worse, I was followed by a group of rogue wolves. Fear gripped me as I faced those feral beasts. I was completely outmatched. Just when I thought it was the end, a massive wolf leapt in front of me and drove them away.

Her stamina seemed inexhaustible, allowing her to run for hours on end, her lungs burning but her spirit unyielding. The forest floor, once an obstacle, had become her ally. She knew its every secret, its hidden pathways, its treacherous bogs, its sun-drenched clearings, and its deepest, darkest shadows. She could navigate by the stars, by the moss on the trees, by the very inclination of the land. She understood the behavior of its creatures, their habits, their migrations, their warnings. She knew which berries were edible, which roots could sustain her, which leaves could staunch a wound.

We walk to the house in silence, my heart beating hard in my chest and my palms dripping with sweat. what will happen to me? What will I say should he ask me what I remembered? What did I remember? Grey fur… yellow eyes… white fur… red eyes… skin turning inside out into fur… the sound of bones crushing… my father… am I going crazy? Why did no one tell me I was there? Why did no one tell me I was the reason for my father’s death?

Chapter 11: The Power of the Pack Emilia and Ryder sprinted through the dense forest, the silver-haired woman’s sinister laughter echoing behind them. Their hearts pounded in sync, driven by both fear and determination. As they ran, something primal and powerful surged within them. Ryder felt it first, a burning sensation spreading through his veins. His muscles tensed and expanded, his bones shifting and realigning with a raw, intense energy. With a guttural growl, his body transformed, fur sprouting along his limbs as he dropped to all fours. His senses sharpened, the forest around him becoming a vibrant tapestry of sounds and scents.

Chapter 2: Saved? *Claire* Fear gripped me so hard that it was getting difficult to breathe. Instinct had my eyes snapped open when a rogue crashed through the trees and into the little clearing I had planned to camp out for the night. “Shit!” Jumping to my feet, I cursed under my breath and started running for my life. He was large and covered in patched fur. His vicious eyes glinted in the dark, and he bared his teeth threateningly.

And I took advantage of the chaos to disappear among them too. Elija screaming my mother's name almost made me have a heart attack. Only one thought ran through my head right now. It wouldn't be possible, would it? I tore out the throat of the first wolf that appeared to stop me from getting close to her. But I looked for the damn hunters first. William, Lucas and the others were already aware of the danger. I sniffed and was knocked down by a damn heavy grimy white fur. I hadn't seen him arrive when he grabbed the back of my neck and I felt my skin break with his teeth. I rolled onto the floor and got up and walked over to him. Dominance was a gift that put him in his place. His blood spurt

They tortured her in her own home, a home she couldn’t live in because they had stolen her childhood and attacked her pack. Emotions I can’t even pinpoint build up inside of me and I take off back upstairs and out the back door. I strip my clothes and shift into King. I allow him to take control and we run through the trees familiarizing ourselves with the forest not crossing the lines into other packs. We are running for about an hour when we cross her scent right before it leaves the territory. A howl like I never knew King or I possessed leaves our mouth as we pour out all of our anger, sadness, guilt and uncertainty into the night.

Chapter 1 Into the Wild The crunch of gravel under my tires faded as I pulled into the remote trailhead parking lot, the last vestige of civilization disappearing behind me. At twenty-six, I, Riley Bennett, had finally hit my limit. No more endless marketing meetings, no more crafting slogans for products I didn’t believe in, and definitely no more nights spent crying over my ex who had called me “too much” before walking out six weeks ago.
