“This is the way of hospitality in House Fox?” Sylvia scoffed as she glanced down her wrists. She had been bound in silver cuffs that glinted even in the dim light of the room. “You do realize silver has no effect on me? I’m not a werewolf.”

Jack, unfazed by her words, took a leisurely sip of his tea. He was seated in the chair opposite Sylvia, his long legs crossed with practiced elegance.

“I wasn’t concerned about the material” he replied evenly. “I doubted you had the strength to break any cuffs at all.”

He signaled to the servant standing beside Sylvia, who immediately poured tea into a fine porcelain cup before placing it in front of her. The fragrant steam curled into the air, but Sylvia didn’t touch it. Her guard remained as steadfast as her composure.

Jack offered a faint smile. “It’s the same blend you used to drink in the palace,” he remarked, gesturing toward the tea. “I hope I haven’t remembered it wrong.”

Sylvia’s sharp gaze didn’t waver as she scrutinized him. “You to

    OAKLEYOakley leaned against the window frame, his gaze locked on the mist-laden sky. It should have been a full moon tonight, but the heavy clouds swallowed any trace of light. The air was thick, damp, and oppressive.Nights in Gods’ Peak were always like this—long, suffocating, and endless. But tonight, it was worse. Tonight, he had lives to take.The others often assumed he reveled in it, given how swiftly and mercilessly he carried out his missions. His cold demeanor, his chilling reputation, made the assumption inevitable. But the truth was far from that. He never savored the kill; he loathed it. A sickening weight pressed down on him every time he saw the life drain from someone’s eyes—even the vile Lord who had stolen his sister away.He could still remember that day as if it had happened yesterday- the day he finally avenged the man who had disrupted his life.He’d slipped into that grand, opulent house under the cover of darkness, waiting patiently for the bustling party to e

    OAKLEYOakley groaned, his knees slamming into the ground with a heavy thud. A sharp pain shot up his legs from the impact, exacerbated by the dagger lodged into his thigh. His entire body burned with a white-hot agony. Before he could make another move, Aiden’s strong hand clamped around his neck, claws pressing menacingly against his skin.Despite the pain and the danger, Oakley barked out a laugh, the sound filling the cell. “I underestimated you, Aiden Moran,” he said, a note of approval in his voice. “You seem to have improved rather quickly, haven’t you?”Aiden scoffed, rolling his dark blue eyes as he tightened his grip. “All thanks to your brutal lessons. Had it not been for you, I wouldn’t have learned that much.”“I bet that you should really thank those potions,” Oakley replied, a sly smirk on his face. “But don’t take too much at once. They’ll ruin you. You don't want to see that beautiful lady weep over you, do you?”“Mind your own business,” Aiden snapped, his jaw tigh

    ELSAUpstairs, in the Frank’s study – above the cell where the earlier confrontation had taken place, a gruesome scene was unfolding.Elsa Perry lay sprawled the floor, blood streaming from her mouth as she screamed.“You lied to me!” she shouted, her voice raw and venomous. “You fucking liar!”Frank Crawford loomed over her, his muddy brown eyes hard and full of distain as they bored into her petite form writhing in pain on the floor. His hand shot out, grabbing her by her pale blond hair and yanking her upright.“It’s your fault for wanting the truth,” he sneered, his lip curling into a cruel smile. “Now that you’ve gotten it, you’re unhappy. You’re never satisfied, are you, girl?”Elsa spat at him, the bloody saliva splattering against his cheek. Frank’s face twisted in disgust, his features turning an angry shade of scarlet. He released her abruptly, letting her fall back to the floor with a sharp thud. Her chin hit the ground hard, but she refused to make more than a small, stifl

    Addison’s eyes widened as she glared at Oakley in disbelief, but Oakley’s gaze fixed ahead.Frank twitched his lips, his eyes darting between Oakley and Addison. Of course, he didn’t believe it. The lowly man was clearly hiding something. Maybe he played a game with the sassy bitch. Some predators savored toying with their preys – that much was understandable. And it wasn’t surprising that this pathetic low-born man wanted some fun with a high-born lady. What else could a wretch like him want? Not that mattered. Frank simply didn’t care. As long as the result was the same, it didn’t bother him if Oakley kept his own nasty little secrets. Everyone had secrets. And the truth was better left buried. If Elsa had understood that, she wouldn’t have been in this situation.“Well, if that’s the case, then what are you waiting for? You have her here. Just end her,” Frank said. “Morning is approaching – we don’t have all day, do we?”Oakley glanced at Elsa again. There was a moment of hesitati

    EVELYNThe musky scent of Cole filled the narrow space between us. My mind started to swirl as I met his burning gaze. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach, and a tingling sensation crawled down my spine.I didn’t know what had triggered his heat, but I was certain he was consumed by the heightened state that all wolves experienced at one point after maturing.I knew the feeling all too well.I remember the first time I’d been overtaken by that strong, uncontrollable force. It was two months after the trial, on a full-moon night. Cole had summoned me to serve in his chamber. I’d felt strange earlier that evening – my heart rate was exceptionally fast, and my belly ached as if I were going through a period. When I arrived at the chamber, engulfed by his scent, I lost my sanity. My memory was hazy after. But I could still recall the shameless moans that escaped from my throat and the pleas I uttered. I begged him to ease the excruciating pain between my thighs. I rode him frantically, ti

    EVELYNI felt a tingle spread across my scalp as I locked eyes with Jack's dark, unreadable gaze.Of all people, he was the last I’d expected to see. I hadn’t thought he’d find me so quickly. His masked face was illuminated by the torchlight, casting a large shadow on the stone wall behind him, as though it surrounded me.Cole growled at Jack – a low, rumbling sound that made the guards behind Jack appeared panicked for a moment. It was a warning to back off.Jack glanced at Cole. He didn’t seem surprised to find us here together. His gaze snapped back to me as he demanded.“Come here, Eva.”He still used my nickname, but the usual softness in his tone was gone. The lazy curve of his smile that often accompanied his words had vanished entirely. I had never seen him like this before – so outwardly cold. Of course, Jack had always carried a predatory smoothness in his demeanor, but now he simply was…terrifying.I swallowed hard and clenched my fists tightly. “No.”My eyes darted behind

    EVELYNAs the blue aura flashed, all the guards leaped up. Their expressions were filled with terror, their eyes wide, their limbs failing aimlessly in the air. Then they fell to the ground with a heavy crash. The sound of crushing bonds was harsh and chilling, followed by a series of groans echoing through the room. “What…what’s that?” They exchanged panicked glances before their eyes fixed on the dark entrance of the vault, where the blue aura had appeared and still lingered.Jack stiffened as he stared intently at the blueness.Slowly, a man walked out. His figure was tall and strong. He held a piece of sapphire in his hand, which seemed to be the source of the blue aura.It took a moment for me to recognize him. He was the man who had been with Sylvia back at that little house.A wave of relief washed over me. At least the intruder was not an enemy.But why was he here? Was he here to save us?The man gave us no acknowledgement. His gaze fixed on Jack as he picked up a silver da

    EVELYNThe man’s face darkened as I explained what had happened. I told him how Sylvia had pushed me away in the gardens and confronted the guards alone. His jaw tightened, and his eyes narrowed in frustration.“She’s insane,” he muttered, retrieving the piece of sapphire he had used in the crypt. Turning to me, his expression grew sharp.“Where’s the other half?” he asked.I blinked in confusion.What the other piece…As I was about to ask, a sudden heat flared against my abdomen. I reached into my pocket and froze as my fingers brushed against something warm and solid. When I pulled it out, I nearly dropped it – a chunk of sapphire. The stone cooled the moment my fingers wrapped around it. its smooth surface delivering a strange sense of calm and tranquility.I had no idea how it had gotten there.The man’s lips pressed into a grim line as he took the sapphire from me and pressed it together against the piece in his hand. My eyes widened with the two halves fusing seamlessly into a

    EVELYNMelanie was startled at the sight of us. She stumbled back the moment her wide blue eyes locked onto mine, panic flashing across her delicate features. As she retreated, something she had been clutching tightly against her chest slipped from her grasp.She scrambled to pick it up.It took me a moment to recognize what she was holding—fine jewels, far too exquisite for a mere maid of a high lady like her. The glimmering facets and rich colors of the precious gems sparkled under the dim light.A long pearl necklace snapped from her hurried movements, scattering the pearls across the ground. The small spheres bounced and rolled in all directions.“Skyla’s maid?” Leila whispered cautiously, barely audible. “What is she doing here? And those…where did she get them?” She turned to me.My gaze swept back to Melanie. I hadn’t noticed when she disappeared in the chaos, but she must have seized the opportunity to escape and hide here. After all, no one had paid much attention to a fright

    EVELYNI ran as fast as I could through the alleys. Aiden and Oakley were ahead of me—Aiden carrying Cole on his back, while Oakley guided us.It had been a while since we’d escaped the fray, but we still didn’t dare slow down. My heart hammered wildly in my chest. It wasn’t just from the speed. It was a mix of shock and fear.I was certain Sylvia had just mind-controlled me, though I had no idea how. My arms shot out subconsciously to grab the others, pulling them along to run with me without making much sound. My legs moved on their own, weaving swiftly through the soldiers as if someone else had taken control of them. We maneuvered through the post while the soldiers were overwhelmed by Sylvia’s magic and Augus was still laughing at her incompetence, our eyes squeezed shut against the burning sensation on our bodies. Fortunately, for werewolves, we didn’t need much vision to navigate. We could rely on our keen sense of smell.And so, we succeeded.The winding alleys felt like a maz

    EVELYNThe beautiful blue light from the sapphires surrounded us like a divine aura. My breath caught, and my eyes widened in a mix of fear and awe.As the sapphires hung suspended in the air, Sylvia let out a roar. The sound reverberated through the sky like thunder, and an unseen wave of power erupted from her.The soldiers were immediately thrown to the ground. They writhed as if scorched, and the wave continued to pulse, spreading its force.Jack knelt, digging his claws into the earth to steady himself, but he faltered, his body tumbling. Pain twisted his face, and he gritted his teeth. I almost felt sympathy for him, but that sentiment was fleeting. I couldn’t feel sorry for Jack Elrod—not now, not ever.For a split second, I thought I saw Cole stir, but when I glanced at him, his eyes were still shut, and his face was devoid of any expression. Before I could think further, the sapphire suddenly dropped to the ground with a sharp clink.Sylvia coughed, a stream of blood spilling

    EVELYNI saw Aiden dash through like lightning, cutting down the soldiers who were trapping Leila. With a swift, brutal motion, he tore through the soldier who had been tightening the rope around Leila’s neck, severing his thumb in the process.Something tightened in my throat. I had never seen Aiden like this. His dark blue eyes, nearly black in the night’s shadows, carried an intensity I found unfamiliar, and his face was streaked with a fierceness that seemed out of place.When the soldiers reorganized, trying to corner him, Oakley sprinted over, kicking them away. Aiden gave him a brief nod of before he moved toward Leila, scooping her into his arms. His face softened as his eyes met mine“Aiden,” I said, my voice stiffer than I intended. My gaze shifted to Leila, who let out a faint gasp.She curled tightly in Aiden’s hold, her eyes shut as she struggled to breathe. Blood seeped from her right shoulder, and I realized she’d been pierced.Aiden gently lowered her to the ground.“E

    EVELYNAugus seemed rather surprised by Jack’s unmoved demeanor. His green eyes scanned him intently, as though searching for a flicker of doubt or deceit. When he apparently found none, he shrugged with indifference. “That would be for the best.”Jack gave a curt nod and turned to the soldiers behind him. With a wave of his hand, he issued a clear order: “Seize them. Alive.”Without sparing Stephanie so much as a glance—as though her outburst had never happened—Jack strode away to join Augus. Together, they stood watching as the soldiers swarmed toward us, their expressions coldly detached. Augus, in particular, seemed to savor the unfolding chaos, as though it were nothing more than a game of siege.Stephanie looked utterly lost, her chestnut-brown eyes widening in disbelief before becoming vacant. The crumpled paper slipped from her hand and fluttered to the ground.“Why…” she murmured. “He’s not him…He’s not my brother…”I grabbed her arm and pulled her back as the soldiers advan

    EVELYNA chill crept down my spine as I locked eyes with Augus. Rationally, I knew better than to believe him. Everyone in Hescor knew magic was vile, filthy, despicable—banned in every form. How could we possibly be born with magic blood?Yet my gaze lingered on the sapphire dagger in his hand, now glistening faintly after absorbing Skyla’s blood. Deep down, my intuition whispered that Augus’s words might hold a grain of truth.Stephanie’s fists clenched, her voice rising with fury. “How dare you! You’re defiling the name of werewolves with your lies!”“Defiling?” Augus let out a booming laugh. “You should acquaint yourself with true history, Miss Elrod. Like your brother has.”My eyes flicked to Jack. His expression was grim, impassive—yet unsettlingly unsurprised.Stephanie turned toward him, her lips trembling as she struggled to contain her emotions. She failed. “Is that what you believe? Is that what you want? To let this outsider trample on our land, to tarnish our country?”Ja

    EVELYNSkyla didn’t let out a single cry before the blade pierced her chest. The bashful smile she’d worn just seconds ago froze on her face. Her bluish-green eyes widened ever so slightly in shock at the sudden action.Augus slowly withdraw the blue blade, and Skyla’s body crumpled to the ground with a hollow thud. Blood poured from her wound, spreading like a dark, gruesome carpet beneath her.Melanie, standing just behind Skyla, stumbled back with a shrill. Piercing scream cut through the air like a thunderclap. It was a sound of pure, unfiltered anguish.Marcel Fox stood paralyzed, his face drained of color. He stared in mute horror at his daughter’s lifeless form. His trembling lips parted as though to speak, but no words came.I felt as though the world had stopped. My body locked in place, my breath caught in my throat. The crowd around me stood in stunned silence, the weight of the moment pressing down on us like an invisible hand. Even Jack’s hand on my arm tightened briefly,

    EVELYNLeila's eyes widened as realization crashed over her. Her gaze locked onto the man posing as Seb, filled with panic. It was rare to see Leila—so confident and expressive—reduced to fear. I couldn’t blame her. Though I managed to keep my composure, a chill crawled down my spine, threatening to weaken my knees. None of us could have foreseen this situation.Except, perhaps, my intuition, though it hadn’t helped me in the end. I couldn’t shake the thought of what might have happened if I had listened to it earlier. But even with hindsight, I wasn’t sure what we could have done differently.Father had once taught Conner and me that to defeat an enemy, you must know them as well as you know yourself. Yet here, I felt I didn’t know either well enough.“Augus should’ve just arrived at Windsburn, shouldn’t he?” Leila whispered, leaning toward me with disbelief.I pursed my lips, keeping my gaze on Augus, as I forced my voice to remain steady. “I’m afraid it must be a smokescreen to dis

    EVELYNThe street stretched out before us, unnervingly still. The stalls stood closed, their wooden boxes covered with heavy canvas. No guards patrolled the quiet alleys, and no pedestrians passed within sight as we crept along the corner. Our eyes scanned the empty expanse before we cautiously moved forward.Jasmine led the way, her hand resting on the hilt of the dagger at her hip. Her footfalls were nearly soundless as she glided through the shadows. She would lead us out before returning to help Stephanie and Seb in their rescue mission. Behind her, I carried Cole’s weight, struggling to move quietly. Though I could mostly manage, it was only with Leila’s help that I was able to keep pace without falling behind.“We’re lucky,” Leila whispered, her voice barely audible. “Everyone’s distracted, over by the execution ground. It’s so clear here. The plan’s going well.”I wanted to believe her, but an unsettling feeling crawled at the edges of my mind. The silence was too complete. The
