Chapter Twenty One

Sage POV I could hear the wind. It brushed through the trees like whispers from a world that no longer wanted me. The forest stretched endlessly ahead, shadows were thick, the scent of damp soil and fallen leaves choked the air. I moved slowly at first, cautious. My limbs weren’t entirely mine. They obeyed, but there was a delay—like my beast and I weren’t completely synced. Still, I kept moving.A snap echoed through the woods. I froze and my ears twitched, nostrils flared. I heard footsteps.Far… but not far enough.I turned my head toward the east. There it was again. A shuffle. A crunch. The faint rustle of paws dragging over dry leaves. I sniffed the air. That scent—bittersweet and sharp like aged pine and copper.Malrick. And he wasn’t alone.I backed into the shade of a large tree and crouched low. My claws sank into the soft earth as I flattened my frame. They were closer now—still maybe half a mile off, but gaining. I heard their voices echo in my head as they spoke through

Chapter Twenty Two

Malrick POV The woods were quiet—just too quiet. The moonlight barely reached the forest floor, blocked by a thick ceiling of gnarled branches. I stood where we last caught his scent, my claws dug into the dirt, breaths fogged the air in short bursts. The others were scattered around, sniffing, pacing, looking to me for direction.“He couldn’t have gotten far,” I growled, more to myself than anyone else. But even I knew that was a lie. That thing Sage had become wasn’t just fast—it was unnatural.One of the guards, Daven, stepped up beside me. “We should’ve cornered him last night. We had the numbers.”“We didn’t know what we were up against,” I snapped.He fell silent. The truth was, I didn’t either. That form Sage took… It wasn't a wolf, it wasn't a Lycan. It was something else. Bigger. Stronger. Wrong. His eyes had glowed brighter than any I’d seen, like the moon itself had set up camp in his skull.I flexed my hands, trying to forget how it felt when he looked at me. Like I was p

Chapter Twenty Three

Malrick’s POV The smell hit me first—burning fur, blood, and rage. I shoved through the underbrush, shifting fully into my wolf form, claws extended, senses heightened. The screams ahead made my heart pound, but not out of fear. Out of fury."Move!" I barked at the guards flanking me. "Circle the east wing. Don’t let any of those bastards slip through!"They growled in unison, taking off toward the dense trees where the rogue scent was thickest.I launched myself onto the ridge overlooking the eastern wall. Chaos below. Smoke curled into the dawn sky, and wolves clashed in frenzied combat. Elders ran, children shrieked. The rogues were coordinated—too coordinated for mindless beasts.“What the hell…” I muttered, eyes narrowing.A large wolf slammed into one of our guards below, snapping its neck in one move. I growled and lunged from the ridge, landing hard beside the corpse.“Bastards!” I grunted. I tore into the rogue’s side, claws raking deep, fangs locking into its throat. It di

Chapter Twenty Four

Malrick’s POVI summoned the guards and we all went out in search of Sage. The fabric was torn, muddied, half-buried beneath a bed of leaves. But I’d know that scent anywhere.“Sage,” I muttered.The guards behind me caught the scent too. Joran shifted closer, sniffing the air. “It’s fresh. Hours old, maybe.”I crouched, my fingers brushed the darkened cloak. It was soaked—part blood, part mud. But what caught me was the claw marks—deep, violent tears across the chest. He was injured. Badly.“Fan out,” I ordered, rising. “Stay in your wolf forms. Follow the blood. He’s close.”We shifted almost in unison, the crack of bones and stretch of limbs swallowed by the night. My wolf surged beneath my skin, hungry for the scent. Betrayal stung like acid in my gut. Sage, my Alpha, my friend once. But that creature he’d become? It wasn’t him anymore. He needed to be stopped.We moved in silence through the trees, the scent trail sharp now. Blood. Sweat. Burnt flesh.“He’s slowing,” Laren’s vo

Chapter Twenty Five

Malrick’s POVLuthor began. “You believe Sage is a threat.”“I do.”“Yet you brought him back alive.”“Because we’re not killers. We give every wolf a chance to defend himself.”Mireya folded her arms. “So defend your position.”I laid it out: the beast form, the attack on my guards, the rogue-like behavior, the erratic aura Sage had been radiating for weeks.“This isn’t the wolf we trained with,” I said. “He’s something else. Maybe cursed, maybe bitten by something we don’t understand. But if we wait until he loses control inside the pack house, we’ll all regret it.”“Do you suggest exile?” Brannic asked.“No,” I said. “Containment.”Their eyes shifted.“You’d make a prisoner of your Alpha?”“He’s no Alpha,” I said firmly. “Not anymore.”The room fell silent. Then Mireya nodded slowly. “We’ll see what he says tonight.”“He won’t talk,” I muttered.“Then that will speak for him.”The meeting ended at dusk. I walked back to the basement with a grin that wouldn’t leave my face.This was
