ROWAN.

I walk out of my room and with a little nervousness, a little excitement I head down the stairs where Louis is waiting.

He turns as soon as I begin descending and I see the flare of pleasure and mild surprise at my appearance.

“Not what you were expecting?* I ask as I come to stand in front of him.

“Hmm, that is not it. I was already half expecting you to change your mind,” he replies.

“I promised to give you a chance, didn't I?”

“Yes, yes you did,” he answers with a smile. “You look lovely by the way. This must be the first time I have seen you in a color that is not monotone.”

“Really? You must not have been looking well enough.”

“I don't know about that, from the moment I met you, I have been looking and have not stopped since then.”

“Wow, he is good.”

“Shh. They will hear you.”

I roll my eyes at Rina's and Lisa's failed attempt at whispering.

“Please, ignore them. I do,” I tell him.

“I don't even know who you are talking about,” he says with a cheeky smile before extending

Give me a moment.”Less than a minute later, I'm carrying two brown bags, moving through the crowd searching for my mate.Everything was going well, wasn't it?She was smiling, teasing me, we were good.So what could happen that would cause her to leave like that?“Maybe she was spooked?” My wolf supplies.“Spooked? I don't know about that, Rowan doesn't spook that easily,” I tell him.“Well something happened.”“You are very helpful, you know that right?” I tell him sarcastically.“You are very welcome,” he responds in a similar tone.I shove him to the bac

    VIKTOR.“Hey, where are you going?”I turn around to see who the voice belongs to and I recognize him as one of the patrol wolves.I am standing at the gates about to walk out when he walks up to me.“Out,” I respond with irritation.I don't mean to be rude.In fact, I applaud his dedication and awareness.But there is a wolf out there that threatens the peace of my mate and my Alpha genes are demanding I tear him apart.My patience to handle any other person is close to snapping.“Do you have permission?”No, I do not.“Yes, from the Guia herself.”“I am going to confirm it.”“Sure. Let her know that I am also going to pick up another batch of fries too.”“Sure, whatever.”I wait as he walks a few feet and dials the number.I don't bother listening to the conversation and it comes as no surprise when he hands me the phone.“For you ““Hello,” I say as I take the phone from him.“What are you doing, you crazy man.”“Nothing,” I reply. “I am just going to pick up more fries.

You know that, right?!”“I am so- sorry Alpha! I will do better next-”“Enough, with your apologies and empty promises! How long have you been in this pack?! Do you not know what happens to the wolves who can't get past the required milestone?”“I know! I am sorry! I will do better-”“I said enough!” I roar at him as I fling him away from me.I watch as he skids across the floor before crashing into a tree and falling still.“Pathetic,” I scoff before turning away. “Someone! Check if he is still alive and if so, have him run twenty rounds across the training field. If he can't do that in under fifteen minutes, lick him out! I don't want to see his face here again!” I bark out.As I return into the mansion, I am vaguely aware of

    ROWAN“Move your feet forward, that way you will have more balance when you move to attack your opponent.”From my position in the stall, I watch as Louis directs some of the younger wolves in training.They are all runts of their former packs, abandoned because of their weakness but in the past two weeks of being taught by Louis they have come so far.Blossomed really.He is such a great teacher, it impresses me.Patient and kind, firm and gentle.He doesn't ridicule them for their mistakes, but actually looks at why they are making the mistakes and helps in correcting them.A far cry from how Dominic used to train his own wolves.Dominic, again.Ever since that night, when I had seen that wolf, he has been popping into my head.It is beyond maddening.I shake the thoughts of him out of my head as I focus on Louis, this time on the way his muscles flex while demonstrating a technique “You are drooling.”“What?!” I snap out as I slap my hand over my mouth only to discover nothing.I

Are you sure?”“Yes. I told him no one by that name existed here but he says he saw her come in.”No.No.No.This can't be happening.They found meHow did they find me?I was very carefulI changed my name.I did everything right.Why is he here?“Rowan!”Lisa's sharp tone brings me out of my spiraling thoughts, causing me to focus on her while bringing the rest of the world into sharp focus.“Wh- what?”“You need to calm down,” she says as she begins steering me to the mansion.“Aren't you coming to check on him?” Gaines calls after us. “Not now!” She calls back to him. “Have him detained.

    ROWAN.“Fine, do your thing.”I give him a grateful smile before walking over to the gates.Before I could swing it open myself, it swings itself and Gaines walks out with the other wolves.“Guia. We have him chained in the interrogation room. He won't be able to move an inch,” he informs me “Thank you, Gaines. You may leave now.”They do as they are told and I, without looking back at the three waiting for me, walk in.The cells are one of the ugliest, most unpleasant places I have ever been in and let me say, I have been in some terrible places.The pack here had felt like that had no reason to take care of it.Rank with the scent of blood and urine, with rusted iron bars, cracked tiles, leaking roofs, peeling paints and the frequent scurrying of insects, it was appalling.When we moved in, we had to clean it up.Not to make it fancy or anything like that, but to spruce it up, make it more inhabitable.Yes, we are rogues and we might come across some really violent, and evil wolv

    ROWANI don't know how long I remain, like this, standing here staring at my blood soaked hands, his headless body hanging in front of me, while his head is under the table.There is no coming back from this.It is only a matter of time before Dominic gets impatient and sends someone to come searching for him, or even worse, comes himself.We need to prepare.But before we do that, before I have to think about what we are about to take on, I just want to savor this moment.It has been a secret desire of mine, one I have never spoken aloud, not even to Lisa or Rina. I have always dreamt of one day avenging myself.Of killing everyone who had a hand in my torment.Violent? I know.But I have found that I have a secret violent and mean streak in me.One that only comes out at the thought of anyone from the Obsidian pack.I want them to burn.All of them.For the abuse.

    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 They say the truth always finds a way to come out.And that is better you let it come from your own mouth than anotherI just hope that is true.Especially now.The tension in the air is so thick, I can almost taste it. 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

    DOMINICThe audacity!That fucking bitch!I can't help but seeth as I stand at the edge of the clearing, just beyond the flickering light of the bonfire, cloaked in shadow. 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.

    DOMINICA DAY AGOThe crackling of the fireplace is the only sound in my study as I sit behind my desk, fingers drumming against the polished wood. 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
