Sylvia's POVThe silence stretched between us as I stood at the window, still processing the scent of Astrid's perfume on Raven's skin. My fingers gripped the windowsill until my knuckles turned white, trying to anchor myself against the storm of emotions threatening to overwhelm me."Sylvia," Raven
"Fine," I conceded. "But stay on your side of the bed."He nodded, though something possessive flashed in his eyes. We prepared for bed in tense silence, the space between us feeling both too vast and not vast enough.Sleep was elusive that night. I lay rigidly on my side, acutely aware of Raven's p
Sylvia’s POVThe moment Raven's words about Astrid helping manage pack affairs registered, something inside me snapped. The audacity of it - the sheer insanity of suggesting my would-be murderer should help run the pack - sent a wave of hysteria through me."If you think I'm going to work with her,"
"Think about it," he insisted, turning me to face him. "She'll be directly under your supervision. You'll know exactly what she's doing, where she is-""Oh, like how I knew she was planning to torture me? Like how I knew she was going to use my father's knife to try and destroy my ability to have ch

"You can't be serious," I said, fighting to keep my voice steady. "These young wolves need proper guidance, not reckless-""What they need," Astrid interrupted, her voice sharp, "is to learn real combat. No more of this dancing around each other, pulling punches, playing it safe." She turned to addr
(Sylvia's POV)I watched in horror as Tyler's blood continued to seep through my fingers. The morning air was thick with the metallic scent of blood and the suffocating weight of fear from the young wolves gathered around us."Let me through! I need to see!" Sarah's panicked voice cut through the cr
(Sylvia's POV)The morning air was crisp as I stepped out of the prison, my hand clutching my phone like a lifeline. Tommy's recorded threats were safely stored, ready to expose Astrid's schemes."Soon you'll be the one in prison," Tommy's arrogant voice played from my phone as I reviewed the record
(Sylvia's POV)The next morning,"Luna," Gamma Oliver's voice was tight with urgency as he burst into my office. "We've traced the mysterious $500,000 transfer. It went to Tommy's prison account, though it was carefully disguised through several shell companies."I looked up from the stack of financi
(Sylvia's POV)"Well, Sylvia, Astrid already knows she was wrong." Raven defended Astrid."Knowing it was wrong? A light and airy "I'm sorry," and that's her knowing she was wrong? " I was enraged. The air was filled with a tense atmosphere. At this moment, Beta-Marcus hurried over, the snow under h
(Sylvia's POV)The winter morning was eerily peaceful as I walked through the snow-covered pack. Each step crunched beneath my feet, creating a rhythm that helped calm my racing thoughts."Luna Sylvia!" Gamma Oliver jogged up to me, his expression tense. "The auction house just confirmed - everythin
"You see the problem," I said grimly. "And she had the audacity to position herself as the rightful Luna, spending the funds that were meant for families, warriors, young pups. She did this while claiming she cared for the pack."Oliver's lips pressed into a thin, furious line. "Luna, on my honor, I

(Sylvia's POV)I stood frozen in the shadows, watching Raven comfort Astrid. The sight of his hands stroking her hair, the tenderness in his voice as he promised her justice - it felt like daggers through my heart."Just endure it for a little while," Raven murmured to her. "Once we get through this
