A gasp rippled through the crowd, their murmurs growing louder with each second. Matthias took a step forward, refusing to let himself be undermined in the presence of his pack by both his son, and his general. “Watch yourself, General.”

Malte did not back down. He never did, he was a stubborn old crow. “Watch myself? I’ve fought beside you for years, Matthias. Giving you the best of what I had to offer. I have never given you a reason to doubt my loyalty. And yet I see you hesitate while your son spins lies and destroys the pack from within, accusing my best men for a crime they had no hand in.” He gestured broadly at his gathered soldiers. Thalia stared at her alpha as well, her eyes filled with molten hate.

“How much longer until you realize that your son will drag this pack to ruin?!” Thalia called, her voice sharp like the crack of a whip in the quiet.

Ronan snarled, pushing forward to attack, but Malte was there, staring him down. “You will let them talk to me this way, Fat

    “We have to contain this before it spreads,” Matthias said, breaking the silence finally. “Right now, Malte is locked in his quarters, as well as the other accused wolves. But that’s not going to hold for long.” He turned back around, meeting his son’s gaze. “We have to figure out what to do with him, and fast.” “What do you have in mind?” Silas asked, watching him closely. “Matthias pressed two fingers to the bridge of his nose, rubbing at the ache there. “I just need concrete proof. If Malte’s men are innocent, we’ll clear their names, as well as his. And if he’s guilty…” Silas watched him trail off, “The pack will demand for blood, Father.” He spoke with sympathy. “Are you ready to deal with that?” Matthias didn’t answer right away. Part of him held on to the hope that all of this was just one big misunderstanding, and that it would all sort itself out if he just gave it time. But he knew things didn’t work like that. There was no easy solution, no path that didn’t lead to c

    This time, Matthias lost his shit before her. It seems everyone is intentionally getting on his fucking nerve. “And what would you have had me do?” He roared, flinging his arm out and crashing everything on the mantle place to the floor. Raine gasped, flinching away in fear. “Let him tear my pack in half? Do you know what that would mean? It would mean war. Right now, this pack is on the precipice of chaos. One wrong move from me and it all goes down in flames.” He reached out and grabbed her chin, forcing her to look up at him. “Do you understand why I don’t particularly care about your anger?” Raine blinked up at him, her chest heaving with each breath. “You’re hurting me, Matthias.” He winced and let her go, moving all the way across the room to me away from her. Raine watched him as he ran one shaky hand through his hair. This was the most un-composed she’d ever seen him. He looked like he was on the verge of falling apart. “I apologize.” He said, his voice hoarse and quiet.

    They had on matching outfits—a crisp white shirt tucked into severely ironed slacks. Both of their shirts were splashed with blood, Selene even had some smeared on her cheek. She noticed Ronan first and smiled wide, bouncing across the room to fling herself into his arms. Ronan let her, wrapping his hands around her slim waist. “Oh honey, look at you.” She pulled back a bit, running a hand down his face, “You look like you got a visit from death.” “I got decked by my dad, then got pumped full of wolfsbane so I’d sleep through the whole 2 days” He muttered dryly. “I take it that our plan was carried out successfully?” Killian asked, he had his back turned, rummaging in a drawer for something. “Is that why your old man decked you?” Selene asked, brows furrowing, “Cuz it’s part of your plan? And why wasn’t I informed of this plan?” Ronan leaned forward to kiss her softly on the lips, ignoring the sharp stench of blood on her. “It’s all rough work, nothing to worry yourself about

    For the next two or so weeks, Raine spent her nights in Matthias’s room. Ever since that first night at the study, Raine had found herself returning back there over and over again. And like he could read her mind, Matthias was there to meet her. It was dirty, elicit, and so very, very dangerous. Raine loved every minute of it. After a while, she stopped going back to Ronan’s bed once they were done. Mostly because Ronan was barely home anyways, and because Matthias’s bed was just right there. She woke up that morning, sore and aching in the best way. She stretched out, yawning loudly as her muscles popped. The bed beside her was empty but still warm, meaning Matthias had just left the bed. The shower came on in the bathroom, and Raine found herself smiling, burying her face into his pillows and taking his scent deep. She was happy. Her wolf was calm. She was having mind blowingly great sex every night, and she was happy. Raine was actually happy. After a while, the shower cut of

    It was the day of her claiming, and Raine Whitmore had never felt so alive. Her heart pounded as she approached where the priest stood, waiting for her at the head of the altar.She held the flower in her hands tightly as she stood in front of the priest with a smile on her face, everything is falling in place. Her dreams are coming true.Ronan was still absent, probably running late, but Raine was far too excited to let that bother her. Tonight was her mating ceremony, the night her mate would officially claim her in the presence of the Lycan goddess and the entire pack.The moon hung high, full and bright, a silent witness as she stood by the priest, waiting for Ronan Draven, the man the fates had ordained as hers.A ripple went through the crowd as Ronan shouldered his way past the wolves, he had two people behind him, but Raine only had eyes for her mate.After months by his side, all the whispered promises, lingering touches, he would be her alpha, and she would be bound to him f

    Raine was not supposed to be here. But she was so close. She could see Ronan spread out on the bed in the dark. She hiccupped, stumbling drunkenly as she steadied herself against the doorframe. Raine wasn’t supposed to come back to the park and certainly not Ronan’s room , but the rejection, the humiliation, it was too much. She had to try, Ronan needed to take her back. The room swayed as she staggered in, her breath uneven, the sharp bite of alcohol still thick on her tongue, it's potency still in her bloodstream, she stumbled to the bed, the figure on it slept soundly, half-covered by the sheets. Ronan, her love. Her fated mate. With shaky hands, Raine pulled down the zipper of her dress. It pooled at her feet, and she climbed into the bed, pressing herself against him softly. She sighed in contentment. Her breath hitched as she reached for him in the pitch-dark room. He was perfect, her mate. He had cast her aside like she was nothing. But this, she was sure it would fix ever

    It was the run of shame, and thankfully, the sun was not completely out yet. Raine slunk around the corridors of the packhouse like a ghostly shadow, barefoot, trembling and reeking of sex, and regret.Her dress was a pitiful mess on her body, hastily zipped up, and her hair was even worse. She could feel the scent of the older alpha clinging to her body, basically pouring out of her pores.Every step she took sent an ache through her core, a reminder of what she’d done lastShe had sex with Matthias Draven. A man more than twenty years older than her. She was 22, and if she remembered properly, he was approaching 45. The man was Ronan’s father. He’d probably even carried her as a child.Not only had he knotted her, but their wolves had bonded. Fuck, what was she going to do?How would she ever look herself in the mirror again. Raine’s head pounded, her muscles screamed as she staggered towards the back door, hoping to slink back to the motel and disappear forever.But fate wasn’t don

    Matthias smelled her before he saw her.At first, he thought it was just a figment of his imagination. It had been days since the incident, but he still woke up every morning with the taste of her on his tongue and her scent in his nose. He could feel her everywhere, and he longed for her.It was the best sex he ever had. She's fucking pure, soft and willing. He had seen the blood on the bed and knew he was her first.He had taken her virginity. He could still feel the softness of her body as she slept in his arm. He could smell her.But this, this was different. Her scent hit him strongly, exactly how he remembered it. Crushed violets, honey lavender, and something that was just her.And his wolf howled, calling for its second. Matthias froze. She was here.Raine was here.His head snapped up. And then he saw her, standing at the far end of the aisle, her scent wrapping around him like a noose.Matthias breathed it in like a lost man at sea. He had been starved of this, both he and h

    “I don’t trust him.” She spoke warily, picking each word carefully. “I just think maybe you should place the needs of the pack above any personal vendettas you might have with the Voss.” “Are you telling me how to do my job?” Matthias growled, his voice low and deadly. Raine swallowed, stepping back into the counter, her scent souring with fear. She opened her mouth to say something else, but before she could, the back door swung open with a bang, and a female beta soldier ran in, panting and frantic. “Alpha Draven...” she panted, chest heaving with each panicked breath. “A fight…the pack square. General Malte and Ronan. I think he’s going to kill him.” The square was chaos. By the time Matthias arrived, the place was a bloodbath. Almost every wolf in the pack was gathered, the crowd dense and tight as everyone yelled one thing or another at the spectacle going on before them. The air reeked of blood and sweat as he forced his way through the throng of bodies. The screams fr

    Raine came to his room in the dead of the night. But unlike that night many weeks ago, she was completely sober. It was sometime after one a.m., and Matthias was in the bathroom, head thrown back under the spray of the shower, reminiscing about the day’s events and letting the warm water soothe his aches. The shower door slid open a moment later, and Matthias turned to find her there. Naked and as beautiful as the first time he saw her. She had her hair up in a messy bun, some tendrils managed to escape and fell around her face in soft willowy wisps, framing her features and bringing out her eyes. He stared at her, shocked. “What are you doing here?”She shrugged a shoulder, “Ronan’s asleep. It’s been a tense couple of days for you, I figured you wouldn’t mind some stress relieve.” She bit down on her lip. “Am I being too forward?”“What? No.” He sputtered, “Never!” She sent him a small, shy smile that went straight through him and he stepped back a little, making space for her in

    “Ha but I never said I wasn’t dangerous.” He reached down and pulled at one of his gloves, shifting it a little so his wrist was exposed. The sight of that pale silver of skin made him unusually vulnerable, and she wasn’t sure why. “I’m an alpha wolf. It is in my nature to be dangerous. But like I said, I do not start fights.” “Why do they all hate you then?” Killian smiled, but it came out more wistful than amused. “My family has history with the Dravens. A bit of bad blood if you must say. But I do not believe in inheriting enemies. I’d much rather make my own.” He glanced at her with a glint in his eye. Before she could say anything else, Ronan stepped in between them, throwing an arm around her shoulders. Raine blinked in surprise. This was the first time he’d touched her since that first night. She glanced up at him, shocked at this sudden behavior, even as her cheeks heated up. “I didn’t know you and Alpha Voss were so friendly,” his smile was too bright, too wide, and he

    Raine furrowed her brows in confusion as noise erupted among the crowd once again, each person wanting to be heard over the other as everyone yelled out their opinions. Someone jostled her in the ensuring chaos, and she fell back against Killian. He brought a hand out to steady her with a grip on her waist, his gloves cold even through the fabric of her shirt. Suddenly, Matthias was there. Pushing past the crowd to reach her. Ronan and Silas followed behind. Ronan’s gaze met hers, unreadable as it dropped to where Killian held her. “Outside!” Matthias barked, face twisted in anger. “Now, Raine!” She pulled away from Killian’s grip and found herself bustled out in between four wolf men. As soon as they were out of the hall, Matthias was lunging at Killian, wrapping a hand around the front of his chest and pushing him up against the wall of the building, hard enough that the concrete cracked. Killian’s face didn’t change. He held both hands up and stared impassively down at Matthia
