DOMINIC

“I know about Louisa! I know about her… and her daughter!”

The wolf’s words slam into me, freezing my blood in my veins. “Rowan and her daughter?”

Rowan… Louisa?

Louisa has a daughter?

A child?

“VIKTOR!”

The growl rips out of my throat like a sudden thunder echoing across the sky.

How dare he?!

How dare he touch what is mine?!

The bastards.

They will pay for this!

If it is true of course.

I look down to see my grip still tightened on Martin's collar, the fabric bunching in my fist.

He is trembling,

I can feel it, the fear radiating off him like heat.

But he is not lying.

He is terrified, and that is when I know it is real.

It has to be.

“Daughter?” My voice is a low growl, barely restrained rage simmering underneath. “What the hell are you talking about?”

He flinches but forces the words out, stumbling over them. “Louisa… she has a daughter… five years old. Looks just like her.”

Five years old.

I do the math in my head, quick and sharp.

Viktor had only met her early thi

    VIKTORI hear Calvin before I see him.His footsteps crunching rapidly against the dry leaves, faster than normal. Frantic Panicked.That can't be good.I look up just as he breaks into the clearing, and I immediately know something is wrong. His face is pale, his eyes wide and frantic, darting from side to side as if he is expecting Dominic to jump out from behind a tree at any moment. Sweat beads along his hairline, and he’s breathing hard like he is been running, though the spot isn’t that far from where he usually comes.I frown, standing as he approaches. “Calvin… you’re late.” My voice is sharp, but my concern overshadows the reprimand. He looks worse than last time, more unraveled, like a man haunted by shadows he can’t escape.He doesn’t respond right away. Instead, he collapses onto the wooden bench, his hands shaking as he wipes his forehead with a trembling hand. For a long moment, he just sits there, his breathing uneven, and I can't help but get more panicked.Whate

    ROWAN“What do you think he is planning?” Lisa asks, her voice breaking through the silence, her question hanging in the air like thick with tension and worry.I glance over at her, sitting across the desk with her arms crossed, her brows drawn tight together. Rina is perched beside her, a look of equal concern etched across her face. They are both watching me closely, waiting for answers I clearly don’t have. Leaning back in my chair, I heave out sigh, running a hand over my face.“I don’t know,” I admit. “None of this is making sense anymore.”Rina shifts in her seat, leaning forward. “But you talked to Kaylee, didn't you? Are you sure she is giving you the right information? You know how she can be biased. She sees everything Dominic does though dark tinted lenses. Maybe-”“She wouldn’t lie,” I cut her off, shaking my head. “Or make mistakes about this. Kaylee is not the type to mess around with something like this. And she has been good with her information so far.”Lisa purs

    DOMINICPerfect.Just perfect.I am standing in the doorway of the newly furnished room, arms crossed over my chest, as I take in the room with a deep sense of satisfaction. It is perfectJust as I envisioned it. The dark wood floors shine underneath the soft light of the chandelier, casting sharp shadows along the walls. The whole area is filled with the sense of purpose, not the frivolity that usually fills the rooms of five-year-old girls. No, this is a room of strength, a room for someone destined to be more than just another weak, coddled child.I made sure to have any childishness stripped away. No toys.No frilly decorations. No pastel-colored fantasies. Instead, I have lined the walls with sturdy wooden shelves. They are empty now, but soon they will be filled with books on history, strategy, and power. Things she will need to learn, things I will make sure she learns.Above the bed, a massive, intricately framed mirror dominates the wall. It shows every corner of t

    DOMINICI arrive at the meeting spot under the cover of night, the air thick with tension. The shadows of the forest stretch long and thin across the ground, as if the darkness itself is waiting for something to happen and as I approach the clearing I had told him about… I see him, Martin, the cowardly werewolf waiting as he looks around in fear.He is standing near a tree, his eyes darting around nervously with his shoulders hunched while he wrings his hands like a child afraid of being caught doing something wrong. It takes all of me to resist the urge to sneer at him.Of all the wolves I could have manipulated, I am stuck with him. But then again, at least his fear of me ensures that he will do as he is told.I guess it is a good thing that he is out of my pack.He is her problem now.“Alpha,” he says, his voice shaking slightly as I come closer. He nods his head in a half-bow. “You… you told me to come at this time.”“Yes,” I say coldly, stopping just short of him. I let the s

The not knowing- it’s worse than any confrontation and my mind races with possibilities, none of them good.Around the table, my most trusted allies sit in silence.

    VIKTORThe air is crisp as I step into Rowan's settlement. Ever since that phone call, my wolf has been more than insistent, urging me to come to the settlement.Like he knew something was wrong.He is usually calm and quiet about things and just lets me have my way, so when he behaves like this… I listen. I hadn’t planned on coming here…not yet at least but here I am. It is good to be back tough.The memories I had here when I was Louis still makes me feel warm and fuzzy.As I alight from the car infirmy of the manaion,I catch sight of most of the wolves moving about in their business. There is the initial surprise when their gazes flicker toward me.Shock, delight and even curiosity and in their eyes. None of them expected me. “Viktor?” Rowan’s voice reaches me before I see her. And when I do, it feels like a weight lifts from my chest. She is standing by the entrance to her mansion, her expression a mix of shock and happiness. Behind her, Lisa, Riley, Alden, and Andre are f

    ROWAN.It is timeI have dreamt and thought about the day that, I and Viktor would finally announce our mate bond… and it has finally arrived.People are gathered all around the bonfire which keeps throwing sparks of emebers into the air and allowing its warmth spreading through the clearing. I can hear the laughter and chatter that fills the air, the mood curious but carefree and standing beside Viktor or Louis, as they still call him… everything feels perfect. Jhenelle giggles nearby, her playful laughter a comforting sound amidst the celebration. She likes running around playing tag with some of her caretakers being just absolutely adorable.Yet, despite it all, there is still something that keeps tugging at the edge of my mind.A feeling I can’t quite shake. I glance around the clearing, noticing the wolves laughing, toasting, and talking, but there is an oddness in the air. My eyes settle on a wolf standing near the edge of the gathering, his back is turned slightly as if he

He arrived today. And then Ro- Louisa annoyed that there will be a bonfire party. They are holding it tomorrow night. Everyone’s going to be there.”I

    ROWAN“Mummy looks like a princess!”I laugh at the remark as I stand in front of the full-length mirror, fingers trailing over the delicate fabric of my mating dress. The soft white folds cling to my body like a second skin, flowing down in elegant waves to pool around my feet. The intricate gold embroidery along the bodice and hem catches the soft light, making it glimmer like stars across a night sky. The dress is modeled after ancient Greek designs, and yet it feels uniquely mine, as if it were made for this exact moment. Which it was.“You are right,” Lisa tells Jhenells as she adjusts the waist, while Rina’s fussing over my hair, placing small white flowers into the delicate braids. “But a queen instead. You are the princess.”Kaylee stands off to the side, smiling at me like she already knows what I am thinking.“You look... perfect, Rowan,” she says softly, her eyes filled with warmth. “Viktor won’t know what hit him.”I let out a small laugh, a nervous tremble in my chest

    DOMINIC The world narrows down to just Viktor and me, as it was always going to be. This fight has been a long time comingHis eyes burn into mine from below, and I snarl down at him from the balcony. All the noise, all the chaos around us fades into nothing. Just him. Just me. My pulse thunders in my ears as I leap from the ledge, muscles coiling, ready to tear him apart.In mid-air, the change rips through me. Bones snap, skin stretches, and fur bursts from my skin. The transformation into my wolf form is savage, overwhelming. And in the space of a heartbeat, I am no longer a man but a beast. I barely register Viktor doing the same, his massive body surging upward to meet mine.We collide like thunder.Teeth flash, claws slash, fur and flesh tear. I drive him to the ground, snarling, biting, desperate to tear out his throat. But he fights back just as viciously, his teeth sinking into my shoulder with a brutal snap. The pain is white-hot, but I don’t feel it. Not really.

    DOMINICThe fight surrounds me the moment I step into the clearing, chaos, mouse, bloodshed, everything swallowing up the night. Wolves… mone and outsiders…they are everywhere. It is impossible to tell who is who at first, just teeth, fur, and blood under the slivers of moonlight. They… Viktor and Rowan, they were ready for us. That much I expected, but what I didn’t count on was the sheer number of them.I should have been warned. I should have seen this coming. But no one told me. Not even Calvin.I can see Viktor and Rowan through the mayhem, cutting through my wolves like they knew every move we would make. Like someone had informed them of my protocols When I find who that fucking traitor is, he or she would wish their parents had never met.How the hell did they get so close? I wonder as my pulse quickens with anger, as I push through the bloodied mess to get to them.But then I see the others- Maxwell, Fin, Sven, Kaylee and her weakling husband, Donald. Traitors.Wha

    DOMINIC“Let me out! I hate you!”Jhenelle’s voice rings out again, shrill and desperate, making the fragile peace I had hoped for, to be nothing more than a dream Her words slam into me, causing a visceral reaction that surprises even meHer small fists bang against the door, over and over, relentless. Each hit feels like a direct assault on my patience. She doesn’t understand. No.She refuses to understand. I stand just outside the door, my hands pressed against my temples, trying to drown out her cries. But no matter how hard I press, her voice breaks through, each shout like a blade carving away at my restraint. I have given her everything, more than Rowan ever could, more than anyone could. A life free from struggle, safety, power, a future in her rightful place by my side.As the future Alpha of the obsidian pack.What more could she possibly want?Why does she keep rejecting me? Why does she keep fighting me like this?“Jhenelle, stop!” I snap, but my voice is lost bene

This the first time the settlement has been this packed, with wolves from all over have gathered, and it is like the entire place is holding its breath, waiting for an explosion. Their eyes are on me, waiting for answers. You can differentiate my wolves from the others.They are angry, confused, a little scared because of the foreign pack wolves but more than anything, they are restless. Dominic has crossed a line, touched their little wolf and they want blood.The other wolves are just curious about why they have been summoned and are waiting for an explanationIt is Kaylee that first steps forward first, her mate, Donald, right behind her.“What are we doing here, Rowan?” She asks, her voice cutting through the low murmurs of the other wolves. “You have e

    ROWAN SLAM!The door to my study bursts open, crashing against the wall with a force that sends a shudder through the room, making me whirl around, heart racing only to see Alden dragging a trembling wolf behind him. A familiar wolf.Martin.One of the deserters.Oh, I knew it!I knew I shouldn't have accepted these scums into the Coalition Martin's face is ashen, his eyes wide with panic, darting around the room like a trapped animal. I stand abruptly, my chair scraping against the floor. "Alden, what is this?" My voice is steady, but there is a hint of rage that I can't hide.Alden says nothing at first, simply steps aside to let two others enter. A young woman and a young man, both wolves from the obsidian pack, step forward. Their faces are tense, their eyes locked on me.Lisa, who had been sitting quietly in the corner, rises to her feet, her eyes narrowing as she takes in the scene. Viktor, standing by the window, moves closer, his presence commanding the room while Rina

    ROWANEverything is moving too fast, yet not fast enough. Wolves are running, voices are shouting, and I feel trapped in a slow-motion nightmare, each second dragging on while the urgency inside me screams for action. My heart is racing in my chest, fear gripping every part of me, and I know -I just know- that Jhenelle is no longer here. Dominic… he was here.He must have taken her out of the park.The bastard. "She is not here," I whisper, more to myself than to anyone else. But Viktor, standing close, hears me."Rowan, we are doing everything we can," he says firmly. His voice is calm, but I can see the tension in his eyes. He is scared too. But that fear, it is not enough. It will not bring her back. We have to do something. I have to do something. Sitting here, waiting for others to find her, is not an option. It just will not work."No," I say louder now, my throat tight as I turn to face him. "No, Viktor. You do not understand. She is not in the settlement. He would

The night air is heavy with the scent of pine and smoke, mingled with the sharp tang of burning wood. Wolves are scattered around the fire, their faces lit with joy and warmth. The air hums with celebration, laughter ringing out into the night as if they have nothing to fear.But they should fear me.I watch them, my eyes narrowing on the center of the celebration. There, in the glow of the fire, are Rowan and Victor, laughing together as if they have won. My chest tightens, a bitter taste rising in the back of my throat as I watch how her hair catches the light, gleaming like embers in the dark, her smile that should have been mine is now directed at that bastard, ViktorI clench my fists, nails digging into my palms.
