ROWAN

“That son of a bitch!” I snarl out loud.

They know each other, they just have to.

I remember seeing the man approach Louis with surprise and Louis reacting to him before Turning away.

But the man kept tagging along, speaking to him but Louis never turned back.

He didn't turn back because he knew I was at the control room.

“Damn it!” I snap as I get to my feet, ready to confront him but before I reach the door, a knock sound on it before swinging open and Alden walks in.

“Alden!” I exclaim. “You are here. Good, just the man I needed to see,” I say beige heading back to my desk.

“Is there a problem, Guia?” he Al's as he approaches me.

“I don't know yet,” I answer as I get a pen and paper and begin scribbling on it. “But I need you to head back to two and meet Lincoln, our contact. Do you remember him?”

“Yes, he was the one who got you into the security control room,” he answers.

“Exactly. Give him this. Tell him it is urgent,” I say as I hand him the paper.

“Right away,” he says

    ROWAN.It is huge.And black.And menacing.Too… much to be an average wolf.Maybe a beta or… an Alpha.“What do you think?” Rina asks quietly. “I think we better get that girl to the clinic before she dies of fright,” I reply as my eyes rove over the girl.She is quaking in terror as she watches Louis wolf circle her while also sniffing at her.“What is he doing?” Rina asks again.“No idea,” I say as we carefully approach them.“He is checking if she is hurt or bleeding,” Lisa responds.Oh.I don't like it.Him worrying over another person.But I will be damned before I say that out loud.“Hi,” I say quietly to the girl as I kneel before. Are you okay? Are you hurt?”She shakes her head in the negative, her eyes never leaving Louis’s prowling form.“That is enough, Louis,” I call out to him. “She is okay.”He huffs in response before walking away. Out of the corner of my eyes, I see one of the gathered wolves hand him a park of slacks.Turning back to the girl, I focus my attention

    VIKTOR.“Let's talk about your wolf.”I should have expected that..There was just no way she could have ignored my wolf.Not with how sharp and astute she is.“Okay,” I say as I follow her toward one of the enclosures in the building, giving us a semblance of privacy. “What about it?”“It is huge.”“Okay…”“Bigger than normal. The only wolf I have seen come close to that size is mine, and I am not exaggerating.”What?! There is no way.I am a large wolf, huge as she so aptly said. When training, I tower even over Andre, my beta by almost two feets. How can she say she is close to me?“That… that is impressive.”“I know. Normal, average wolves don't have that size. The closest I have seen a warrior wolf come close is three feets short of what you are.”“if you say so.”“Don't play games, louis. Not today. I am exhausted.”“Fine. What do you want to know?”“What is your status?”“How an i-”“Every wolf has a semblance or an idea of where they fall into. Where do you fall into?”Damn.

    VIKTOR.She really, really wasn't kidding when she said her wolf was huge.At the very same height as me, with power rolling off those muscles, she might actually stand a chance against me.Okay.Maybe this would be fun.Lisa then walks into the middle of the field, taking her position between us as she addresses the crowd and us.“Okay, listen up!” she starts. “This is a friendly match. It ends when the other opponent taps out or in this case, yields. No drawing of blood. No kill move. Are we clear?”I make a movement with my head while Rowan wags her tail in agreement.“Okay, then. Let the match begin!”Before I can even blink, I see Rowan’s wolf charging at me, the ground trembling with the force of her paws.I get out of the way a split second before she runs into me.Whirling around, I see her wolf skid to a stop, gathering dust before turning back to me.This time, when she charges, I meet her head on.We collide into a mess of limbs, snarling at each other as we try to get a fi

I really need to know.Louis’s look of delighted surprise flashes through my eyes again and I practically collapse to the floor In a petulant whine.He would think he has a chance now!“Why do you keep getting me in trouble you-”I don't get to finish the sentence because the door opens at that moment to let in both Rina and Lisa.“Hey,”Rina’s concerned voice calls out. “Are you okay?” she asks as she comes to kneel before me.She is still the kind, pure hearted woman that had pulled me out of the river all those years ago.“Yeah, are you?” Lisa adds. “We need to know before we can mock you for

I can come back later?”“Nah, we are done here,” she insists as she walks out of the door. For a few seconds, we just stare at each other,neither of us saying a word before he blinks and clears his throat.“I uh… that was a… a good fight. I am impressed,” he comments.“Hmm, same here. I am convinced that you are an Alpha. Which means you have to get your memories as soon as possible.”“Hmm? Why?”“Because you have a pack who might be going out of their mind searching for you. The last thing the Coalition needs is an attack from one of you guys.”“Right, that makes sense,” he says quietly before approaching the desk. “I am actually here to… apologize?”Apologize?“Why?

Stop!”“Please, please, don't.”“Please, please, please.”The memory keeps replaying in my head as I storm out of the mansion and break it into a run round the perimeter. Terror.That is what I saw in her face.Terror.Rowan, strong, smart, witty, Rowan…Who was it?Who was the bastard that hurt her?Who would dare hurt a wonderful woman like her?Just what sort of spineless, unfortunate coward would hurt her?It can't be anyone from the settlement.From what I have observed and heard, everyone loves her or at the very least respects her.And they are also very protective towards her, so no.It can't be from hereHer pack, then?“Some of us… some of us were made that way. By our packs. By those we trusted. Abused. Tormented. Left for dead.

    ROWAN NB: Conversations between characters and their wolves are made internally.“Now, what do you have for me?”“I gave him the note as you requested,” Alden says as he walks towards me to hand me a disk. “It took a while for him to get what you wanted but he got it.”I take the disk for him before placing it into my laptop. A few clicks later and a series of moving images play before me.Different, unfamiliar wolves can be seen moving around the city in one video, on another we can see two different sets fighting with each other, while a few others watch from the sidelines.“They are not together,” I mutter quietly. “No, they are not.”“This is a mess,” I mutter on a sigh. “What was their aim? Did they come together to attack us and have a falling out? If so, then their packs should not be fighting with each other now. Or did they just meet coincidentally in that field?”“That seems unlikely.”“We need to capture one of them and question them,” I say.“While I can see the reason f

I watch as Louis flashes bright red as he sees me, probably figuring out that I heard him and Lisa has a cheeky smile on her face.Yeah, I am not going to hear the last of it tonight.“Mummy” Jhenelle cries as she crashes into my legs. “Did you hear what Louis said? He likes you mummy!”Sure, scream it out loud. Why don't you?“Did I not ground you today, lady? Why are you not in bed?* I demand “Uh oh,” she whispers as she instantly calms down before flicking her eyes to the people behind her. They don't make a move to help her so she turns to me with a puppy dog face, her lips protruding in a down

    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

    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.

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.

The flickering flames cast long shadows across the room, but they do little to dispel the cold that has settled into my bones. It is taking too fucking long.How hard is it to get such simple Intel.This is what I get when I work with incompetents.My phone buzzes against the desk, bringing me out from my thoughts and I glance at the screen. It is Martin. It is about time.I bring the phone to my ear, answering in a curt manner “Speak,” I say, my voice calm but laced with the authority that makes sure nobody disobeys me.“Alpha,” Martin’s voice is quiet, like he is whispering, and there is an urgency behind it. “There has been a development.”“What is it?”“Alpha- Viktor Thorn is here. 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
