Here, I’ll set it up.” I took the phone, opened an app and started recording on the audio feed from the mic. “Will you be okay to drive?”Taylor leaned his head back and sighed. “Yeah. I’ll make it.”“Okay. Meet back at my place.”I shut his door for him, waiting until he’d turned the van back onto the road before wrapping up the phone in the plastic bag and nestling it among the reeds in the ditch. It was a long shot that we’d get anything useful in the few hours of battery life that the phone had while recording, but it was worth trying anyway. If we could get any kind of insight on how, where, or when Dalesbloom intended to attack Grandbay, we could use it to our advantage.The wet wind brought the sickly-sweet scents of Dalesbloom to me as I returned to my car. I paused to look into the trees but saw nobody. If they came back here to investigate, there was a good chance they’d find the phone, so I could only hope that I hid it well enough.A lot weighed on my mind as I drove back

After meeting with the supplier, still unaccustomed to the discomfort in my chest and trying not to be bothered by the lack of follow-up from Aislin, I called Taylor, curious about what he might have overheard. But there was no answer from him either. That didn’t bode well. Knowing where he had parked, I drove the ten minutes from Eastpeak to the outskirts of Dalesbloom, toward the heart of the forest where the manor sat. Driving through Dalesbloom wasn’t the dangerous part. It was stopping, setting foot on the asphalt that they laid claim to, that could get me in trouble. It didn’t used to be this way. Years ago, David would have welcomed me into his territory, but I understood the decision I made had placed me on bad terms with the Hexen Alpha. I couldn’t help but wonder if he would have made an enemy of me regardless, if he’d dominated Grandbay and then found himself greedy for more.Up the road, I spied Taylor’s dark blue van pulled onto the shoulder. The driver’s door was wide op

Wildfire raged on the fringe of my awareness, flickering flames lapping at the images burning behind my eyes. The fire was so vivid it blinded me, and I felt it singeing my skin before I had fallen completely unconscious. Sweltering heat smothered me, and in the nightmare I couldn’t breathe, and I didn’t know why until I found her. She was an embodiment of the wildfire itself—out of control, staggering, impossible to touch, until she looked at me. I had to do something, or else this gluttonous nightmare would destroy us. She would have forced us both to burn if she hadn’t let me help.Slumped over my desk, I woke up gasping. Fire gnawed at my spine and shocked me into sitting upright. Beads of sweat rolled down my temple as I frantically searched the room, only to find everything still and silent like before the dream took me. No smoke was packed against the ceiling, no fire scorched the walls, just my empty white office, the soft whirring of the central air, my world untouched. This

This time, I didn’t let him make the first move. A clenched fist carried all my anger toward Niko, aiming for his cheek, but he ducked out of the way and chopped into my throat. The impact made me choke. Reflexively, I smacked the bill of his cap up off his head, then grabbed a handful of hair and wrenched his head down, but he reacted by thrusting his shoulder into my stomach. It hurt so badly that I wanted to cry out. No sound escaped me—I tried not to, or else I knew my strangled noises would only encourage him. After stumbling back, I swung my foot into his ribs. He caught my ankle and twisted it the opposite direction, leaving my only options to drop to the ground, or pull myself closer. I opted for the latter, bending my knee and hopping close enough to wrap my arms around his neck. Niko let go of my ankle, freeing my legs to wrap around his abdomen. I barely had enough time to choke him with my arms before he ensnared my hair, yanking my head back. My feet went back to the grou

With yesterday’s spar a bust, there was no way I could get around training today. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have wanted to. Physical combat was my area of expertise. Gavin and I used to fight all the time as children, and despite his size advantage against me, my agility kept him on his toes and won me half of our spars. The thrill of the fight was addicting, the physical challenge—measuring my skill against someone else—fulfilled an innate primal urge that appealed to my wolf. Deep inside, it had to be some underlying compulsion to prove myself worthy, but I’d never had a reason to doubt myself until now.I woke up that morning whistling from my lungs. My condition had deteriorated even worse from the spar with Niko, which was so embarrassing it caused me to avoid everyone afterward. An hour was spent bent over my bathroom sink, coughing, and spitting up red until finally I could breathe. Dark circles under my eyes and a paleness in my skin betrayed how poor I was feelin

Inside, a labyrinth of churning and grinding machinery processed shipments of hardwood logs that the mill received each morning. Most of the machinery was automated and outfitted with laser-guided planing tools that mitigated the risk of injury to my employees, but there were still bodies on the floor to supervise, manually count and inspect, and operate machinery as necessary. The scent of sawdust was so strong it often tickled my nose into a sneeze but having spent my entire life around the lumber mill, the smell had become a comfort to me. Sweet, dry, dusty, tangy. The scent always varied slightly based on where the logs came from and what type of wood they were, but they all had that same earthy smell of nature that reminded me of my roots as a wild animal. A wolf.Recently, one of our debarker machines had failed and we couldn’t determine what the cause was. It seemed the millwrights we brought in had gotten it operational again. I watched the machine hungrily take logs and strip
