After all, my mind knows this wasn't a real kidnapping.Kaelen rubs the red skin on his massive wrists. For the first time since his birth, his alpha arms were locked in enforcer iron, all because a tiny child outsmarted his senses.I take Samuel’s hand in a tight grip and march straight out of the enforcer station. The second our boots hit the dirt path outside, I drop my knees to the ground to look at his face. “Why did your tongue tell such a massive lie to the crowd, Samuel? Can a good pack child use deceit?”Samuel keeps his lips locked tight, his chin staying stubborn. His attitude is a perfect copy of my own unyielding spirit.“Answer my voice right now!” I frown, my heart sinking. When did my sweet child learn how to manufacture such a giant trap?It was such a dangerous lie that our names almost ended up locked in a pack cell.My mind is so incredibly frustrated that my lungs are gasping for air, but my hand refuses to ever strike his skin. “Are your choices trying to break my

Kaelen Blackthorne POV“Which kind?” I ask.I open my eyes slowly. My voice is flat. It has no feeling.“Do you like girls who have babies?” Orion stops fast. He looks scared. He smiles really big to make me happy. “Girls who have babies are special. Her kid looks just like her. She did not change her face with doctors.”I feel angry inside. Hearing about babies makes my chest tight. I pull my shirt collar hard.“Shut up or I will make you,” I snap.Orion stops talking. He looks at me in the glass mirror of the car. He looks scared because my mood changes so fast. He thinks I am happy, but I am mad. He wants to have a nice talk, but he cannot.He drives me to the Crimson Fang Lodge. I stay there all night. I turn left and right on the bed. I cannot sleep. I keep thinking about Lyra Nightbane.She is different now. Before, she was quiet and sweet. Now, she stands up straight. She talks about ice hockey like a boss. She looks great when she talks about her sports work.But I feel a shar

Vespera holds his hand. She looks worried. “If he catches you looking into his life, he will be furious. He already hates us. Talk to him later.”The butler nods. “Yes, Alpha. You know the young master’s hot temper.”Darius looks dark. “With his bad head, can we ever talk nicely?” He looks firm. “He can be wild with other things. Not this time. This is for the whole pack.” He looks at the butler. “Go.”The butler looks at Vespera. She sighs. “Go on. The father and son are both stubborn. No one can stop them.”The butler leaves to do the job.Kaelen Blackthorne POVI walk out of the stone lodge and see Elowen Frost standing by the cars.“Kaelen!” she calls out.I do not look at her. I keep walking to my car.She runs and grabs my arm tightly. “I followed you for years! Are you throwing me away because of one little bad thing I did?”I stop moving fast. She bumps into my back because she cannot stop. She looks up at my face. She loves me too much.I look down at her. I used to think she

LYRA NIGHTBANE POV“Why are you keeping your muzzle shut, Samuel?” I demand, staring straight at my son.Samuel drops his eyes to his little paws and refuses to let out a single bark.“My ears are waiting,” I snap, my brow knitting together tight.Samuel rubs his tiny hands against his fur pants, his chin shaking. “That giant alpha did something super bad to my mommy’s face in the arena hallway, so my claws need to break his hockey sticks for my mommy.”My eyes widen instantly under the kitchen light. My breath jams tight in my throat. Did my little cub’s eyes actually witness the moment Kaelen Blackthorne pinned my frame against the bricks and forced his heavy alpha scent all over my lips?“Samuel…”My throat completely freezes because my brain has zero simple words to explain that kind of dark pack history to a five-winter pup.Samuel slams his little palm hard against his chest, his small eyes looking fiercely determined. “Mommy, even though my sister Liora and my own wolf do not h

His tongue cannot just openly admit that Kaelen Blackthorne ordered his scouts to dig up every piece of dirt on her sleeping arrangements, right?No female wolf would ever feel happy learning her den was being systematically targeted by an alpha's tracking team, right?“Does my device need to call his personal link directly to get the answer?” I threaten, my posture turning completely rigid and tough.Abbott’s eyes go wide at my fierce tone. His mind forces his gaze to scan my body from my boots to my hair. No matter the way my throat projects its voice or the intense fire burning in my eyes, the female standing before him is completely unrecognizable from the past.She has the full aura of a grown, independent woman now.Years ago, she was just a timid, quiet pack girl.Abbott scratches his head again, letting out a defeated sigh. “Uh... Alpha Blackthorne demands to know the exact coordinates of the den where your wolf sleeps at night.”Silence drops over the gravel like a heavy ston

“Kaelen, my brain does not understand the wild choices of you young wolves these days,” the old Frost leader says, his face staying completely flat and calm. His voice holds zero heat.He is far more stable than his two hot-headed sons.Living through seventy winters means his eyes have seen every kind of blood spill in the forest, so his pulse stays perfectly steady under pressure.If the Frost family started screaming and hurling accusations at my head, this meeting would be simple to handle. My internal monologue had been worried about facing a clever, seasoned wolf like the old leader before I drove over here.But my own claws are hard as iron. Even though my body hasn't seen as many winters as his, my wolf has survived a thousand brutal checks on the ice and won a dozen territory wars. My frame shows zero weakness. “My inner beast carries a total hatred for females who use lies to trap my scent.”Hearing that line, the old leader’s ears twitch as he senses a hidden trap. Did his

“No… stop… I didn't do this…” Elowen gasps, tears flooding her face as she looks at the red stain.I lift my left hand up, my large fingers gently wiping the hot tears off her smudged cheek. “I was a fourteen-winter pup when an enemy pack abducted my body and dragged me into the northern mountains. My life was accidentally pulled from the snow by a little ten-winter orphan girl. Later, my vaults paid for her entire education at the hockey academy. The moment her studies finished, her boots followed my shadow everywhere. We went on a scouting trip across the border, and my leg was accidentally bitten by a lethal shadow-snake. It was her mouth that sucked the black venom out of my veins to keep my heart beating…”My eyes and my touch turn incredibly soft and gentle as I speak, as if my mind is remembering a piece of sacred history.“My wolf failed your future today, Elowen. Your throat demanded my life, and now my hand is giving it to your steel. From this breath forward, we are complet

DR. ALISTAIR VIREMONT POV“Loredana is completely out of your claws now, Helen,” I snap, my jaw clenching hard inside Ember Hall. I have to admit that Kaelen Blackthorne is a brutally decisive alpha. That bastard managed to completely reverse a disaster that should have ruined his pack reputation.“Thomas, see them off,” Alpha Darius Nightbane commands from the doorway.Thomas moves fast, his boots clicking against the stone tiles as he catches up to Kaelen’s father. “Alpha Blackthorne, let me guide your wheels out of our territory,” Thomas says with a stiff, polite nod.Darius Nightbane doesn’t even blink. He slides his large frame into the back seat of the transport vehicle, his eyes cold. He looks up at Thomas through the glass and says, “Tell your Alpha Leader… my wolf does not take the little biting matches in the hall to heart.”Shredding an alliance this big is a terrible mistake for both packs.“I will deliver the words,” Thomas nods, shutting the heavy iron door gently. He wa

Mirelle’s eyes go wide. “Samuel Nightbane!”Samuel dives straight into my arms, hiding his face in my neck. “Mommy, shield my fur! Auntie Mirelle is losing her mind again!”I lift my son onto my hip, letting out a helpless sigh. Every single time these two spirits cross paths, a verbal war breaks out.My mind has zero power to stop them.“My tongue is sorry, Miss Mirelle,” Samuel squeaks out the moment her fingers reach for his ears, changing his address instantly.Mirelle’s hand pauses. Instead of pulling his ear, her palm rubs his messy hair. “It is lucky your brain moves fast, little cub. Next time my claws won't show a single ounce of mercy.”“Hehe,” Samuel giggles, totally thrilled that his clever tongue just saved his hide again.“Pardon the interruption, Lyra. An alpha female from the Duskwild Expanse just sent over these specific demands for her custom winter wedding dress. Could your eyes take a look at the sketches?” my assistant asks, handing a leather folder into my grip.

His large arm shoots out, wrapping tight around my waist to yank my frame straight into his hard chest. The moment my skin hits his suit, my fists begin slamming against his pectoral muscles as I struggle to break free. “Unclaw me! Let go!”Kaelen takes a deep, ragged breath. Instead of loosening his grip, his fingers tighten like iron around my waist. He pins my flailing wrists against his chest and says softly, “Behave your wolf.”I glare straight into his eyes. Why must his shadow keep breaking my life apart? Is it so difficult for his empire to leave a female and her pups alone in the wild?“My beast is entirely spent,” Kaelen mutters, dropping his heavy chin onto my shoulder. His nose takes a deep, long sniff of my hair, inhaling my fragrance. He buries his face directly into the skin of my neck, his deep voice vibrating against my pulse. “Find a den where my head can rest.”He is genuinely exhausted.I notice the dark purple shadows bruising the skin under his eyes, and his mass
