"It's going to be a pleasure working with you, Harper." Up in the private master suite on the top floor, Camden stood before a massive floor-to-ceiling glass window, watching my SUV pull away from the corporate plaza. He turned toward the wall, picking up an encrypted obsidian remote and pressing the activation rune. The heavy silk tapestries pulled back to reveal a massive, high-definition comms screen. Sitting on a leather throne inside Ironwood Keep was Asher Whitmore. Dressed in dark tactical pack armor, his shadow-drenched golden eyes were cold, dangerous, and completely devoid of warmth. His massive, clawed hand rested lazily on the armrest, radiating a pressure that made the air in Ca

The elder’s heels scraped desperately against the flagstones, his breath catching in a dry, rattling gasp as he was hoisted inches off the ground by raw, unadulterated Alpha fury. "You thought you could bury the truth in the ashes of a burning estate," Julian growled, his voice a low, vibrating baritone that rattled the reinforced steel bars above them. His golden eyes burned with an unnatural, lethal luminance, the primal side of his nature threatening to break free entirely. "You thought you could use my name to slaughter an innocent pack and pin it on a ghost."

, I explained, trying my best to avoid eye contact with him. “You seem very confident” Asher chuckles as his eyes trailed from the length of my legs up until he got to my eyes, slow enough, so I could see it and fast enough that no one besides us noticed. “I am Mr Stone,” he replied confidently. The only thing he wants is to see the weak girl he dated years ago… well, she is dead. “why?” “why not? I know what I am capable of once I put my mind to it and I believe my proposal is incredible. Do you have any doubts?” I asked with my eyebrows raised, and my arms folded over my chest.

Project Ashes was the name of the automatically opened file. Her stomach turned with each word as she read the first few lines. accounts that are offshore. Hidden stockholders. illegally transferred money. Archival blackmail. Names—strong names—connected to offences capable of destroying entire empires.

Along with it came the fire that would destroy everything.

He found Theron. He sat on the edge of the tower. The morning sun washed over him. His body turned to shimmering, golden dust. "Theron!" Elias ran to him, but it was too late. "Take care of the clan, Elias," Theron's voice was a soft whisper. "I'm going to her." The golden dust danced in the breeze and vanished into the sky. With tears in his eyes, Elias collected Theron's ashes. He placed our urns together, reuniting us at last.

Chapter Thirteen: Sister of Ash The sky had turned a deep, smoky gray, as though the heavens themselves mourned what was awakening beneath the soil. Seren stood at the edge of the crater, surrounded by the wreckage of her birthright and the screams of the cursed tree that once marked Black Hollow’s sacred heart. Her robes—dark blue with silver embroidery—fluttered with energy. She hadn’t aged past her early twenties, her presence defying time, her expression carved from stone.

"My goodness! We actually have a thief in our office. No wonder my biscuits and snacks kept going missing from my table!" Vernon stood next to Peggy. After ordering security to block off all exits, they began searching everyone. Once it was my turn, I set the box down so I could cooperate with the search. Clearly, Vernon was momentarily startled upon noticing the asteroid figurine at the very top of the box. However, he still asked security to dump all the contents of the box onto the floor. Everything fell to the floor with a loud crash. The figurine was completely smashed to bits. It was like my relationship of six years with Vernon. Once there were cracks, things between us could never be

and a particularly large Lycan “asher” She looked around. "They are close friends. I’ll introduce the others after the meeting" she finished. Ruke stood up and faced the many lycans present. He wasted no time in telling them he had found his mate, after which he beckoned Lang Lang to speak to them about the prophecy. When she had finished, a very blonde Lycan with a mole on his nose spoke up, ”what have we got to do with the prophecy,“ he asked, witha bored look on his face.

“No. But I should have. Guys like you usually bring them with you.” I smirked. “Guys like me?” “Leather, tattoos… gunshot wound,” he said dryly. “You scream of trouble.” He wasn’t wrong. “And you don't want any of that?” “Name’s Ash,” I muttered when he didn't reply and finally regretted it. Where were we? Tenth grade? I was watching him move around the small room tending to my wounds with precision. “Noah.” He finally said, not looking up. “Thanks, Noah.”

She finds herself in a moral bind concerning forgiveness, retaliation, and the brittleness of trust. Zara and Kael must destroy the weapon in a final, adrenaline-pumping battle before it ends up in the wrong hands.
