The doctor pulled Kael into the hallway and quietly shut the door behind them. For a moment he simply stood there, staring at his notes with a troubled expression.

“What is it, Doc?” Kael asked.

The doctor exhaled slowly. “I’ve checked her three times now, and none of it makes sense.”

Kael’s jaw tightened. “What doesn’t make sense?”

“When I treated Nova after the Hollowfang bite, I expected the infection to progress normally. Fever. Tissue damage. Increased aggression. The usual symptoms we’ve

    Nova let out a slow sigh and rested her elbows on the table.“This is all so confusing.”Rylan’s expression softened. The concern in his eyes was impossible to miss.He leaned forward slightly.“What exactly do you remember?” he asked gently. “I mean, besides the world going to shit.”Nova frowned, trying to sort through the fragments in her mind.“Do you remember your mother’s name?” Rylan asked.She was quiet for several seconds.“…No.”“Your father?”She slowly shook her head.“No.”“Friends?”Another pause.“No.”“What about school? Teachers? Your home?”Nova squeezed her eyes shut, willing something, anything, to come back.“I…” she whispered.There were flashes.A crowded hallway.A classroom.People laughing.Someone calling her name.But every face was blurred, like someone had smeared paint across a photograph.She opened her eyes again and looked at Rylan.“It’s all… broken.”Her voice cracked slightly.“I know I had a life before all this. I know I had people.”She swallowe

    After Alex said his goodbyes and headed toward the eastern border, Nova watched him disappear into the crowd before letting out a quiet sigh.“Well… that could’ve gone worse.”She had no interest in another argument with Ava.One encounter today was more than enough.“I think I’ve hit my daily quota for wolf drama,” she muttered to herself.Shoving her hands into her pockets, she turned and headed in the opposite direction.“Maybe I’ll head back to the cafeteria.”At least there was food there.And, hopefully, fewer angry she-wolves waiting to pick a fight.Nova wandered through the compound at an unhurried pace, now recognizing several of the paths Kael had shown her earlier that morning. Wolves passed by carrying crates of supplies while others prepared to head out on patrol. A few greeted her with polite nods. Others simply watched her with curious eyes before returning to their work.She was beginning to get used to the attention.As the cafeteria came into view, the familiar smel

    After returning from her walk with Kael, Nova stood in her room for a few minutes, staring out the window. He had told her she wasn’t a prisoner. She could walk around the compound if she wanted.She wasn’t sure she believed him.But there was only one way to find out.With a quiet sigh, she left her room and stepped back into the hallway. Nobody stopped her. No guards followed behind her. No one questioned where she was going.“So he wasn’t lying,” she muttered.Nova wandered through the compound at her own pace, taking in the busy streets. Wolves moved between buildings carrying supplies, repairing equipment, and preparing for the day’s patrols. Mixed among them were human families going about their own routines. Children laughed as they chased each other through the open courtyard while a few older survivors worked in small gardens beside their homes.It was… normal.Far more normal than she had expected.As she walked, a few wolves glanced in her direction. Some nodded politely be

    “Well, okay, Mr. Wolf,” Nova said, folding her arms. “Do you have a mate?”Kael’s steps slowed for just a moment. A flicker of tension crossed his face before he let out a quiet sigh.“…Yeah.”Nova looked around the path, expecting another wolf to appear.“Where is she?” she asked. “Because if it’s going to be a problem with me being around you, I’d rather know now. I think I’m over fighting wolves.”A quiet laugh escaped Kael.“You don’t have to worry. I don’t think she’ll be able to hurt you.”Nova gave him a doubtful look.“Are you sure?”Kael lifted his gaze toward the rising sun, its light just beginning to spill over the compound walls. A faint, bittersweet smile touched his lips.“I’m sure.”Nova studied him for a moment. There was something about the way he had answered that didn’t sit right with her. It sounded less like confidence and more like someone remembering something they couldn’t have back. She wanted to ask another question, but the words never came. Instead, she no

    Kael and Nova continued through the compound completely unaware of the pair of golden eyes watching them from a nearby rooftop. Ava stood partially hidden behind a stack of supply crates, her arms folded tightly across her chest. Her gaze never left them. The sight made her stomach twist. Five years. Five years she had spent helping lead patrols, defending the pack, and standing beside her Alpha through one disaster after another. Then one human appeared. And suddenly everything changed. Ava clenched her jaw. The human wasn’t supposed to be here. Wasn’t supposed to matter. Yet somehow she had become the center of every conversation in the compound. The elders were talking. The warriors were talking. Even the healers were talking. And Kael… Kael only seemed to care about her. Ava’s fingers tightened into fists. Her thoughts churned dangerously. Part of her knew she should let it go. Part of her knew challenging her Alpha over his mate would only end badly. But anot

    The next morning, Nova was woken by an annoying knock at her door. She groaned and rolled over before glancing out the window. The sky was still dark. Morning wasn’t even fully here yet.The knocking continued.“Ugh,” Nova muttered as she dragged herself out of bed. “If this is how this place operates, then me and the grumpy wolf are going to have a serious problem.”By the time she reached the door, another knock sounded.“What?” she shouted as she yanked it open.Kael lowered his hand.“Um… good morning.”Nova stared at him.“Good morning? Are you serious?” She pointed toward the dark sky. “The sun isn’t even out yet and you’re knocking on my door at God knows what time.”Kael looked mildly guilty.Nova rubbed her face and sighed.“What do you want?”“I was hoping you’d want to take a tour of the compound before everyone wakes up.”Nova blinked.“A tour?”Kael nodded.“Why?”“Because it’s quieter now. And because if I wait until later, you’ll probably spend the day avoiding me.”Nov

    Her eyes swept across the room one more time before catching on something near the far corner.A vent.Small enough to miss if someone wasn’t looking carefully.Nova frowned slightly and moved closer.The metal grate sat low along the wall beside a cabinet, one side hanging just slightly loose from

    The doctor moved quickly.Nova barely saw the syringe before a sharp sting hit her neck“Wait—”Cold spread through her bloodstream instantly Her body jerked violently against Kael’s chest as panic surged through her.“No— no—”The room tilted Kael’s voice reached her faintly through the haze “Easy,

    “Hello?” Nova snapped. “I’m sitting right here. Can someone explain to me what the hell is going on?”Both men looked at her Then the big Alpha sighed heavily and dragged a hand down his face.“It’s not good,” he admitted.Nova gave a dry laugh despite the fear twisting in her stomach. “Yeah, I fig
