Grey's POV I hadn't heard that voice in years and yet it wasn't one I could easily forget. It was one I used to go to in comfort once upon a time. The closest thing I had to a friend before Alden took me under his wing out of pity and obligation to my mother. But just like Elodie, she seemed to byp
"If you touch one hair on her head-" "I'm not going to kill her, Greydon." My eyes narrowed. "You are." Before I could respond, I was hit with a powder I could locate the second it permeated the air. Without a chance to eradicate its effect, the powdered wolfsbane sent me to my palms as I struggle

Grey's POV It wasn't the abrupt silence of the crowd or the taste of the blood fading from my tongue that returned me to my humanity. It wasn't even the pull of her pleas dragging that part of me to the surface in a painful lurch. It was the sound of her heart accepting death without regret. The wa
"Now, I'm giving you your punishment." I came down on her as I had done over a decade ago, teeth sinking into her neck, as she whimpered beneath me. When she would awaken again, it would be in a transition once again. Born a wolf, she never had to feel that painful shift between human and beast, the
