“So, what is our next point of action?” Sven asks, a glass of whisky in his hand.

“We need to contact the other packs, try to demolish whatever movement Dominic has begun,” Maxwell says. “Viktor, you are known to have joined the dead alphas in their ambush, you can tell them what actually happened. And while at it, we will show our support for the coalition.”

“Will it be enough?” I ask.

“We have our own reputations, thankfully, respected and revered. Some of the packs will join us on account of our words, some might not. Some would want to stay on the fence. But for now, it will be enough to put a stalemate to whatever crap he is pulling.”

“He is not going to like that?” Fin mutters.

“Who cares?” I retort.

“No one, of course, but let’s think. These past weeks he has been gathering a following and now we just come and scatter it all. He is going to be pissed, probably accuse us of undermining him.”

“We are undermining him,” Sven mutters.

“Yeah, you- you know what I mean!”

    VIKTOR:“So much for behaving yourself,” Fin grouches as both he and Sven walks back in.“I never promised to behave,” I reply.“Still. You could have at least controlled yourself.”“Didn’t you hear what he said? That they deserved it! That she-”“We know, Viktor,” Maxwell says quietly. “We were there. He is just saying you could have handled it better. Now, he knows that we are actively against him. We can’t catch him unawares.”“Exactly. He is going to move faster now,” Fin says.“Then we move faster,” I reply. “People are already aware to his unpleasant tendencies. And his attitude doesn’t exactly make him a loved one. Between him and us, we can sway them.”“We can sway the ones who are reasonable. The one who are ruled by logic and not some perverse desire to get glory irrespective of how they do so,” Sven says.“Okay then,” let’s get to it.We all get up and heads out of the mansion.Their personal cars had already been brought to the front, so after a few curt goodbyes, they all

    VIKTOR“So, how did it go?” Andre asks the moment I get out of the car.I am beyond exhausted.What I thought would take only an hour, a couple tops, took the whole bloody day.I can’t blame them though.I am asking there to put away their preconceived notions and support a bunch of wolves.“It was exhausting,” I mutter as I get in. “They wanted to know everything. Everything about the coalition.”“Did you tell them?”“Of course, not,” I mutter as I head in to the mansion. “One of them might get into their head and try to use that information against them. I just told them the bare basics. The rogues want nothing from the packs expect to be left in peace. And as long as that happens, they have nothing to fear.”“Did they believe you?”“Most of them did. Just two has reservations but they will go along with the others so as not to be the odd ones out.”“That is good. Good,” he murmurs as we walk into my bedroom and take a seat on the bed.“What about you?” I ask as I begin undressing.

    ROWANBy the time six comes around, I am already awake and dressed.I had taken extra care in selecting my clothes, and even Rina helped.I really do want to make a good impression on his pack, because if things go the way we want, or at least the way I think it is going, I will become the Luna of his pack.As I turn towards the door, I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, I see a wide eyed, a little anxious but confident woman string back.My hair is neatly styled in a sleek, low bun, with a few loose strands framing my face which goes well with the elegant but understated outfit I have chosen to wear for the dinner.I am dressed in a tailored green blouse that goes well with my eyes and which also has a delicate lace detailing along the neckline and cuffs. The fabric is crisp and smooth, gracefully draping over my shoulders and matched with a pair of dark gray tailored trousers that fit me perfectly and just end above my shoes.Speaking of shoes, I decided to go for a pair of hi

I ate them all.”“Is that wise?” I ask as I look over to him. “We are about to have dinner now.”“They were small cuts,” he says. “And with her energy, I am sure she has burnt

Don't come out, okay?”“Yes, mummy.”I give Jhenelle a kiss on her head before getting to my feet.“Don't worry, princess,” Viktor tells her with a little peck on her hair. “We will be back before you know it.”“That is a lie,” she mutters with a pout. “You all are having some kind of adult meeting, it is going to take a long while.”“Okay, you got us. But I promise to make it up to you, okay?”“You promise?” She asks.“Of course, " he says. “What would you like?”“How about we go out to the park? Do you have one here? With plenty of swings?”“I am sure we can find one with swings,” he says as he pecks her in the head. “You have our word. Now, behave. Okay? For your mom and I.”“Okay.”I give her another peck before we both walk out of the room.“You need to relax,” Viktor says as he takes my hand. “These alpha can smell fear, you need to pull yourself together.”“I am not scared of

    ROWAN.He isn't here.Right now, I am standing close to the entrance of the living room, watching as all the alphas mingle with each other.With one notable figure missingDominic.“What is he playing at?” I mutter.“Probably his way of disrespecting Viktor,” a familiar voice responds I look over and see Rina walking towards me.“Disrespect? If that is his plan, to not show up just to spite Viktor, then he just created a mess for himself. But I doubt it.”“Hmm? Why?”“Dominic wants this war,” I tell her. “For as long as I have known him, he has always been obsessed about glory. About putting Viktor in his supposed place. This council is meant to disrupt that plan, why would he not show up? He will have to if he wants to move forward with it.”“So, what isn't he here?” She asks as she leans against the wall.“I don't know. And Franky, I don't like it.”“Are you that eager to see him again?”“Don't be ridiculous,” I scoff at her. “I may not see him for the rest of my life and it still

    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

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
