The rogues won.

Andrew smiled as he placed the tattered letter inside his stylish jacket for safekeeping. It would make for a good memento once he did the deed and ended the war for good, branding Daniel as a power-mad despot who had tried to rally the greedy Alpha Kings against the honorable Gold Nation.

The rogue leader Karthen had even mentioned it might be possible to frame it as Daniel attacking the combined forces of Iron and Bronze, with Gold Nation coming to the rescue. After all, Alpha Matthew Catii was the only survivor, and he was so weak it would be no trouble bending him to his will.

Now all Andrew had to do was meet with Karthen, collect the heads, and this stupid pretend war would be over.

"I think I'll go in ceremony," he announced to his Beta. "Gather the troops just in case since we might be stabbed in the back by the rogues... Well, either way we would have turned on them next. It's almost over, friend. You've served me well."

    “Mommy, I wanna go. I wanna go! I don’t like her, Mommy!”From the bed where she lay trapped under heavy, sweat-soaked covers, Beth strained to reach for the little girl screaming and hiding behind the other woman in the room, the one who stood over and stared down at Beth’s pale, gaunt face with a cold smile and glittering eyes. But she had no more strength. Her hand fell upon the sheets like a dead thing, skeletal fingers trembling.“Mommy,” the child sobbed and tugged on the other woman’s shirt, small face turned away. “She’s scary, I don’t want to. I don’t want to! I don’t want to!”“It’s all right. You don’t have to go to her. Mommy will protect you. Mommy will protect you from the bad, scary lady.” The vicious smile she shot Beth was victorious and smug, full of poison, and she stroked the girl’s hair while motioning at the attendant standing by the bedroom door. “Take Caroline to her room,” she ordered. “I want to speak alone with our guest.”“Mommy, no! Mommy!”“I’ll come find

    It was so peaceful here it hurt.How long had Beth suffered that the first moment without pain, only calm and quiet, could hurt her so badly? She doubled over and fell to her side, half-sprawled, half-curled. She had no idea where she was or what had happened to her, but this was too much to take in. This empty place she could neither describe nor even properly see, hear, taste, nothing - this place where she was no longer in pain, no longer dying, this place where her body had at least found peace and respite from the torment, the agony... She didn't know if she could take it. She didn't know who she was without the pain."Come."The gentle voice came from above her, and all at once, someone was standing in front of her. Beth's gaze drifted up, following the woman's willowy frame until it rested upon her face.And oh, she was beautiful. Young and old at the same time, innocent but wise, joy tempered by age-old tragedy. She had the softness of feathers, the brilliance of wildflow

    Cold fury flared inside her, ugly and jagged. Matt? Matthew? Disgusting bond-traitor Matthew who had thrown her away and jumped into her sister's bed, steal away her daughter, and help turn everyone she loved against her because she had been stupid enough to believe that true love could triumph? That Matthew from the life before?"Tell the gentleman I'm not accepting any more company tonight. He should leave immediately."David blinked. The aged man knew nothing, and he had always been so firmly entrenched in propriety and manners, so she couldn't blame him for his surprise at her callous response. "...Should I arrange for him to see you tomorrow, then?" he asked, hesitant."Nope. I can't imagine there's anything he needs to discuss with me that he can't handle with his fiancee. Annalise's room is just around the corner. And since my father's around, I'm sure he can help, too.""But Miss Elizabeth.

    But now that he was close enough for Beth to see properly, there could be no mistake. But he was so young! She had only ever known this man in her previous life after he was fully grown, the most dangerous werewolf no one ever dared to cross one-on-one...But here he was right in her family home, glaring daggers at Matt. Moon Goddess, he still had a fearsome aura. Even at this age, had he already been so frightening? He had grown up to become ruthless, savage, the terrifying dictator of his pack's territory who ruled in blood and violence, but he couldn't be but still in his teens now. How unsettling...especially since toward the end of Beth's life, there had been those so terrified of this man that they refused to speak his name.Daniel. Daniel Heether, the younger brother of the man she was supposed to marry, the youngest son of the Heether family. This was the young man who called her 'sister-in-law' now, and in just a handful of years, would bathe in the blood of countless werewol

    Warren stared, stunned by her sudden outburst. So was everyone else, including the heads that were peeking out of the doorway behind them in the wedding hall, and the messenger who had come bearing the news looked not only shocked but infuriated. He shot Beth a hot glare before looking back at Warren, mouth open to say something, but the other man beat him to it."I'll be fine, Elizabeth," he said at last with a winning smile, and nodded at the messenger to move back down the steps and leave them be. "It must be the nerves. And here I thought you weren't nervous at all! Come on, let's get you down and -""Forget nerves! Warren, trust me on this. Don't go, do not go!" Beth tore off her wedding veil and tossed it on the ground, shoulders shaking with the effort to hold in all the impossible things she wanted to shout. But no, she had to figure out how to open his eyes without resorting to telling him wild time travel stories. Who would believe it if she tried to say she had come from th

    Dark. Cold. Daniel had always possessed the most resilient constitution despite being the youngest of his brothers, but he had just woken up shivering and dizzy. Was this a nightmare? Had he fallen asleep and slipped into a murky dream? He could see nothing at all no matter how many times he blinked to clear his vision...but it was no dream. When he moved to stand, he noticed at last the heavy, ugly weight of manacles on his wrists and ankles. Chains clanked against the wall when he tugged at them in vain, but he didn't get a second chance to try to break free. With a snarl, he shrank back, hunching his back. Protruding diagonally from his right shoulder, lodged deep under his collarbone and the feathered fletching just barely visible in the darkness, was a heavy arrow. If he could shift, he could try to force it out since his regeneration had clearly failed him, but the manacles would crush his bones.But at least the darkness was lifting since he could see the arrow. His vision mu

    Beth had set off for this place as soon as the message had come that Daniel was in the custody of the Troy family - of Gold Nation, in other words, since their word was law here and nothing less. It had been days since Daniel had disappeared on the heels of his brother, and the entire Heether family as well as all that packs under them had been on the brink of chaos.Learning that the most powerful family of the most powerful nation now had settled the confusion. The first part of the letter had answered the questions of how they had come across Daniel and the men that had gone with him, confirming they were alive at the time of sending. But then, the rest of the letter's contents...Beth kept her eyes on Andrew instead of letting them rove around the grand hall or the luxurious furnishings. It was hard not to gawk - even her wooden chair had what looked like small, inlaid diamonds and other gemstones along the armrests. Such senseless luxury...such wealth, meaning power and the where

    They were on their way back home at last, Daniel and the men who had been captured with him. Beth didn't know why he was the only one who had been so stubborn that he refused medical care all this time when everyone else was hale and healthy. In fact, he was the one slowing them down, and finally, after a day of traveling through hard terrain, he ordered them to go on without him. He would follow at his own pace as his body recovered now that Beth had treated his wound. "No," she said flatly when he tried to make her go with them. "You can make them obey, but not me. So stop trying." "You -" "I said no." "You've been angry at me since we left Troy territory," she said, voice flinty and sparking with impatience. "And now you're only taking back the cold shoulder treatment to tell me to leave? Forget it. I came all this way on foot and alone without your family's permission or mine to get you out of there, so I'm not leaving on your word either." "And how exactly did you do that, B

    This was never going to go to Union Court. It was going to go straight to war, and Beth was ready to fight. Andrew Troy had manipulated his way to victory every time but now, he would get what was coming to him.No one knew where his father was so he was all but Alpha King of Gold Nation now, which made him the most influential party in Union Court. Like hell Beth was going to bother bringing up a grievance against the most powerful member there. That was going to be open and shut and he was just going to find a way to punish everyone involved, and with legal backing.Better to just take the fight to his face and show him what was what. Beth already had her sleeves up and claws out.... Except Daniel and everyone else forbid her from leaving the Heether pack house. Completely."I am not an invalid!" she shouted. "I can still fight!""Beth... Please. You're going to stress out the baby.""The baby is stressed out because you're leaving me behind!"Daniel held her tight, stifling her st

    Daniel wasted no time in telling his mother the truth that day. That is, that he and Beth had secretly been in a relationship for weeks now, technically months since they had definitely been tip-toeing around each other in poor, secret denial long before they truly pledged themselves to each other.Beth was not ready. She was still adjusting to being back in the Heether territory, still adjusting to the relief and anger and determination to take Andrew down even though she was undoubtedly pregnant. She had only just confessed to Anna about that, and Luna Margaretta already knew? Before Beth had had a chance to ready herself?"It'll be all right. She'll come around." Daniel placed his hands on her belly, which had not yet begun to grow but would soon swell with the life of their growing baby. "It's important that everyone's on alert, keeping them in the dark will only make things more dangerous."She swallowed hard. Daniel was right, but that didn't mean it make it any easier. Anna had

    As an Alpha, Beth could throw off sedatives without lasting damage. Whatever Andrew had drugged her with, it wasn't doing permanent physical harm, and the effects were reversing already. Her regenerative ability had only improved over the last year with the constant strain she had put her body through, and she thanked it now as they rolled through the streets past the growing chaos of soldiers searching the streets for their missing prisoner. With any luck, within a few days of having untainted food and drink, she and the baby would be right as rain.Andrew had discovered her absence far sooner than she had hoped, but it couldn't be helped. Someone must have checked in with breakfast earlier than usual. But for the bad luck to strand them all in the city and get them caught up in the manhunt...Matt had prepared everything, at least. She still had misgivings about him that would never go away for as long as she lived -- sounds wounds ran far too deep to ever forgive -- but he had done

    The first thing Beth saw when she came to was Daniel's blurred face. Even though her head pounded so fiercely she could hardly breathe, the sight of his face swimming in her swirling vision sent such sheer joy and pleasure through her that tears sprang to her eyes."Daniel...""Shhh, Beth, don't try to get up. Rest. I just brought you to the place where I'm staying, and it's a decent place to hide for now, but we don't have a doctor here yet. You need to be seen, something's wrong." He lifted his head, looked at someone over his shoulder. "Go! Find a--""Wait!" She grasped at his shirt, fingers digging weakly into the fabric. "Wait, don't. Andrew doesn't know I've escaped. When he finds out, he'll start a search and hunt me down, and anyone would figure out that it was me if they see me like this. I'm a mess."Daniel leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Maybe, but I'll get you out of here anyway. But something's not right and we have to fix that first. Did Andrew hurt you? What did h

    The Troy pack house ran on routine. Everyone had been careful to keep their mouths shut about even potentially important information around Beth, which made sense since everyone knew she was a prisoner, not a mere guest. But what Andrew Troy had so carelessly forgotten was that she had already stayed here before her imprisonment.When he had entertained her as an actual guest in the span of time she had spent waiting for Daniel to arrive here, back before Andrew requested she go to Tahoe Village to help with the fake 'espionage' mission, she had already been housed here for quite a while. Long enough to learn several important details, and details that she couldn't imagine would have changed since then.Andrew's political wheeling and dealing were unpredictable, but his home life was anything but. That enormous cart of food she always saw wheeled in every morning at four in the dark of night came in every day without fail, and she was willing to stake her escape on the guess that that

    They were still talking, but they had moved off the stone path and deeper into the shadows. They were on the other side of the stone half-wall, so close that it took another five steps this way, they would find Beth and she would be discovered. She placed a hand over her mouth and nose to stifle what little sound she might betray, but there was nothing else she could do. Her only choice was to wait and hope they didn't notice her, and as soon as they left, she could make a break for it.But to her chagrin, Andrew's voice became louder -- closer. Oh, Moon Goddess. They were now standing almost on top of her, just on the other side of the wall, and if they leaned over, they would see the top of her head no matter how she tried to squash herself against the stone. Was this it? Had she been too hasty?How could her luck be like this! If she had waited only one more night, Andrew Troy might not be walking the grounds. She could deal with avoiding a measly patrol; most of the time, walkabo

    The shift change came every day at nine o' clock in the morning and nine o' clock at night. Morning escape was impossible, because even if she slipped past the changing guard, it would be daylight outside and everyone from here to the outlands would see her running across the estate's grounds. She had to make it a night getaway.The good news was with the frigid weather and the frequent sleet and rough snowfall, her tracks would be covered easily, and her scent hard to follow. She was used to traveling in harsh conditions from the life before, and hadn't she managed that journey to Pandemonium City and back? It had been grueling, but she had done it. And, she thought grimly, she had already conceived by then.Proof her child was already strong. Took after its father, and its mother, too. Beth smiled at the mirror, but it was razor-sharp and vindictive, not sweet.She had no more sweetness left for the enemy. She and her child would get out of here no matter what.***One week of obser

    The days were short yet passed in slow misery. Trapped in the Troy pack manor on the third floor with guards posted everywhere to keep her from escaping, Beth was a canary imprisoned in a gilded cage, never allowed a moment alone even to bathe. Andrew Troy pretended it was to pamper her by assigning her female attendants to attend to her every need, but she knew better. Much better.He even had the gal to visit her as if she were just some guest being entertained in his home. How dare he have the fucking nerve? She was a prisoner, and yet when he knocked on her door and let himself in, he was all charming smiles and gentlemanly manners. Except how he never explicitly waited until she gave him permission to enter, but maybe that was because she flatly refused to give it. After five seconds of waiting, he came in, ready or not, and it made her want to punch him in the gut for it all the more.She was fed and well-taken care of, granted, like a captured exotic animal kept for private vie
