MADDOXThe scent of damp earth and aged whiskey lingered in the hidden basement, a room concealed beneath layers of stone and secrecy. The dim, flickering light of a single bulb cast jagged shadows across the walls, dancing like restless phantoms. This was my sanctuary, my hell, and my throne. It was here that I could drown in the twisted symphony of my memories without the weight of eyes judging my every move.I poured another glass of whiskey, the amber liquid swirling in the crystal tumbler like liquid fire. It burned my throat on the way down, but the pain was a welcome distraction from the storm brewing inside me. The attack on the border, Raiden’s incompetence, and now this gnawing feeling—an itch at the back of my mind that refused to let me rest.Were they alive? Could the Bennett brats have survived that night? I clenched my jaw and tightened my grip on the glass, the image of their burning home flashing before my eyes. I had ensured that every corner of that wretched estate

REED The dawn was barely breaking when I stepped out of the house. The chill in the air clawed at my skin, but I didn’t care. I needed this—needed the pounding rhythm of my feet hitting the dirt, the burning in my muscles, the steady beat of my breath to drown out the chaos in my head. Running had always been my escape, my way of finding clarity.But today, there was no clarity.I couldn’t stop replaying last night in my mind. The moment I’d walked into her room. The way her bare skin gleamed in the dim light, soft and golden like she’d been sculpted by the gods themselves. I had only been in there for seconds, but it felt like time had stretched to infinity, trapping me in a memory I couldn’t shake off. I clenched my jaw and picked up my pace, hoping to outrun the thoughts clawing at me.“It wasn’t the first time you’ve seen a naked woman,” I muttered under my breath.But it was the first time one had made me react like that.My wolf growled low in my head, a deep, primal sound tha

CALLUMThe Audi’s sleek, obsidian exterior gleamed under the afternoon sun as Asher clicked the key fob, unlocking the doors with a soft beep. I leaned casually against the car, watching as Liana stood rooted to the spot, her mouth slightly ajar.“This is… yours?” she asked, her wide eyes darting between me, Asher, and the car like it was some sort of mythical creature. Asher smirked, opening the driver’s side door. “One of ours,” he corrected, sliding into the seat effortlessly. “Get in.”Liana hesitated, her fingers brushing over the glossy finish before glancing back at me. “You’re kidding, right? This thing looks like it belongs in a museum or something. What do you guys even do to afford this?”I couldn’t help but chuckle, pulling open the passenger door for her. “We don’t work. We live,” I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. She blinked at me, her brow furrowing. “That’s not an answer.”“It’s the only answer you’re getting,” I replied, motioning for her to get in. “Now move

KADEThe car hummed softly beneath me, gliding over the winding roads toward the Silver Moon Pack. My head rested against the cool glass of the window as the passing scenery blurred into a tapestry of green and gray. I wasn’t paying attention to the view, though. My focus was on the iPad in my hand, the image displayed on its screen capturing all of my attention.Her face stared back at me, frozen in time. Dark, wary eyes framed by unkempt strands of hair. She looked nothing like Aurora, not at first glance. Aurora had been radiant, her presence impossible to miss in any crowd. The girl, though—she seemed as if she belonged in the shadows, unnoticed and unimportant. But the longer I stared, the more I saw it. The shape of her jawline, the arch of her brows… it was all there, hidden beneath the dirt and the worn fabric of her clothes.“Could it really be her?” My voice was low, almost inaudible, as I swiped a finger across the screen to zoom in on her face again. My eyes scanned every

MADDOX The grand hall felt like a tomb, cold and oppressive, its stone walls echoing with the hollow sound of my boots as I entered. The air smelled of damp earth and aged wood—a scent that clung to the halls of this castle as much as the legacy of my rule. Raiden trailed behind me, silent, his presence grating on my nerves like the sharp edge of a blade. I had done my best to ignore his existence for most of his life, but today, he was impossible to overlook. The moment Kade left, I had been simmering, my rage building to a slow, unstoppable boil. My son—the failure—had once again proven that he was unworthy of the blood in his veins.Raiden.The name tasted bitter even in my thoughts.I stopped abruptly, turning to face him. He stood a few feet away, his head bowed, a picture of cowardice. His very posture enraged me. “Do you have any idea what you’ve done?” My voice was low, sharp enough to cut.Raiden raised his head slightly, his blue eyes full of guilt and fear. “Father, I—”“
