"Saxton Thorne Devlin," Floyd began, sitting in his designated chair in the meeting room of the building assigned to the Night Pack. His eyes were fixed firmly on the document in his hand, and his posture was relaxed. "The sixteenth Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack and the worst of all the Alphas before him. Exceptionally cruel, he seems to have some kind of vendetta against our pack and has been eyeing our territory for years. He’s now confirmed to be working with The Seekers. He has a mate, Phoebe Brian Devlin, a former member of the Moonlight Pack, but their relationship is terrible. He hardly considers her important."Floyd continued, "His Beta, Rees Caiden, has been his best friend for the past thirteen years. Saxton has no parents, and there are rumors he killed his own father, though nothing has been confirmed.""That’s highly possible," Jared chimed in. "I doubt the former Alpha would have just given up his power to his son willingly. Dorian Devlin was known for his greed and blo

“That’s how it was in most other packs. I don’t know why they had to do it differently there. I must tell you how shocked I was when I witnessed it—it was a nightmare,” Ferix said, raising his glass of wine to his lips. Alec chuckled quietly under his breath, and Aurora smiled as she sat between Ferix and Maverick.“It must have been hard on you,” Layla said with a small, sarcastic but polite smile. The look in her eyes made it clear she was amused, though far from impressed.“He must be glad it’s over, but that’s actually hilarious,” Alec snorted.“Like I said, it was a nightmare, and you’re right, Alec. I was excited the moment it was over,” Ferix continued.“Nightmare, my ass. I just think you were a pussy,” Easton grumbled. Stephanie gave him a discreet thumbs-up while Sadie kept sneaking glances at Ferix from beside Zach, who silently observed his mate. Sadie looked as if she might stab Ferix with her fork at any moment, but Ferix remained oblivious.Hilton had wandered off somew

“Shall we continue on our tour, Aurora?” Ferix asked, wanting to break up the conversation they had been having, as it seemed they had both forgotten that two other men were present. “We still had the rest of the place to cover. There were still a lot of places I didn’t know my way around in the Moonlight Pack.”His words successfully stopped their banter, which made him grin triumphantly while Maverick just scowled at him. He returned the favor with a glare of his own.“What tour? I’m not letting you go into the forest with her. I don’t trust you,” Easton barked, snatching Ferix’s hand that was reaching out to hold Aurora’s. He yanked it away.“I don’t need you to trust me. I don’t trust you either, nor do I like you. This is Aurora’s business. There’s no way you’re suspicious of me endangering her when you know how she can protect herself. She’s a witch,” Ferix retorted.“Doesn’t matter. My gut says I should drag you along with me, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.” Easton re

“What the hell are you talking about?” Aurora demanded.“It’s Maverick! He’s the one who set your pack ablaze,” Phoebe exclaimed, her voice ringing with certainty. She knew her claim made no sense, but her sources were strong. “You can ask Stephanie and Alec about it. They know, and it seems like they planned it together!”“What…” Aurora trailed off in a small voice, turning to look at Maverick. He said nothing, neither denying nor agreeing, and Aurora didn’t want to think about what his silence might mean.She had known him well enough to recognize that when he was accused and fell utterly silent, it often signified agreement.But still, she didn’t want to believe it. She told herself repeatedly that she didn’t know him as well anymore—that maybe his silence wasn’t confirmation but contradiction.It didn’t make sense. Why would Maverick burn her pack, then give her people a comfortable place to stay, form an alliance with them, and save her—their leader—countless times? Why would he

“What are our options?” Aurora asked, and Layla sighed.“We already sent a message to Hilt Edge Coven, and they’re still thinking about it,” Hilton informed them, and Aurora nodded.“What about the other packs and covens?” Easton asked.“Well, most are still contemplating, but some have already flat-out replied that they’re not willing to have us in their packs,” Zach explained.“Since a large percentage of those allies are still undecided, we’ll have to ask the members about their opinions too,” Aurora said, her focus on the sketches, drafts, and maps spread across the table.“There’s no need to contact them and ask,” Hilton interjected. “They’re all very furious about it. Most of them are ready to declare war against the Moonlight Pack, but they understand that it won’t be in their favor since we’re still their ‘hostage.’”“Those in high school have stopped all their after-school activities and said they would quit school immediately,” Zach added.“I already contacted the treasurer
