"Actually, the Matriarch prepared the entire bounty, so keep your paws resting." He let out a soft sigh, turning his head to watch the sky turn to a deep, bloody purple over the water."It is incredibly peaceful out here," he murmured, his scent turning nostalgic. "Before my family was broken, we lived in a territory completely surrounded by deep, ancient woods. My wolf misses the wild canopy." It was the very first time he had ever spoken of his life before arriving at our border settlement."Is that so? Where was your original den?" I asked coyly, keeping my back to him so he wouldn't scent my intense curiosity."The Ancient Pack Settlement of Wolfspring Hollow," he answered softly. "I assumed I had shared that with your circle already.""Your wolf never let that slip," I said. "Did your bloodline hunt there for many winters?""Yes, until my junior season at the Moonrise Gathering, right before my body was—" He cut himself off instantly, his ears flattening as the heavy thud of boot

"May the Moon Goddess guard your naming day, my beautiful boy! Is your spirit running full?" Katy asked through the link."Hey, Mother! I just completed my morning wash. The celebration was incredible. There was a magnificent honey-cake and plenty of old elixirs," I told her, my voice softening."I know your wolf has reached his full growth now, Johnson, but do not let the fire-mead drown your senses. Ensure you take some scent-markers of the territory. I must return to the border watch, sweet pup. Run safe.""Give my devotion to Father, Mother. My spirit loves you."I broke the link with a soft sigh, knowing I couldn't remain hidden in the upper chamber forever. I unbolted the heavy oak door and immediately caught a powerful whiff of roasted meat drifting up from the terrace. They were preparing a feast.I ran down the stone steps and found the three massive Alphas gathered around the outdoor pit. Malakai was tossing thick noodles into a boiling iron pot over the hearth, while Kade a

"Are you ready for this, Johnson?" Kade Fenrir asked, his fingers tightening on the wheel of the Midnight Fang Rover as we sped down the winding, moonlit trails of Ravenwood Heights."I am," I said, my voice steady despite the raw, primal energy vibrating through the pack link. I looked down at the black ceremonial robe resting over my lap. Kade looked magnificent in his dark Alpha leathers, his chest broad and his jaw set with fierce pride. Tonight was my initiation into the Alpha Circle of the Crimson Fang Pack, a destiny I never could have dreamed of when I first arrived at the ancient pack settlement of Wolfspring Hollow."You earned your place, male," Kade murmured, his golden eyes flashing with a hot, possessive light as he glanced at me. "Those years of training weren't for nothing. Every drop of sweat you gave me during our combat runs has led to this night.""Zuberi didn't make it easy either," I noted, a small smile touching my lips. "He practically dragged me across every p

“The Elders said we were too late.”My claws dug into my palms until the skin split, my entire body shuddering with a violent, uncontrollable rage. I did not want to believe Corwin Blackmaw was dead.“We just got word from the Abakon Yellow border,” Kade Fenrir grunted, his throat thick and tight with suppressed fury. “Two bodies were dragged from the shallows of Bloodmoon Lake this morning. Both were young male wolves. One has been identified as a scout from the Midrealm Territories. The other was Corwin Blackmaw. He was only seventeen. Fragments of his shredded pack tunic were still tangled in his fur when they pulled him from the sacred moonwater.”I buried my face in my hands, a low, broken growl tearing through my chest. They took a young wolf’s future and ripped it away. How could they commit such a crime on sacred territory!Zuberi Darkclaw, Malakai Thornwolf, and Kade closed in around my chair, their powerful Alpha scents flooding the room to try and anchor my panicked wolf, b

"The Alpha Circle from the Western lands has finally breached our markers," Kade Fenrir whispered, his golden eyes flashing through the gap in the heavy oak door. "Tavon says the scent trail is fresh, Johnson. The mutts are inside the territory."I unbolted the heavy wood, my breath coming in short, rapid gasps as my inner wolf clawed at my chest. I wore a dark, tight-fitting silk-woven tunic that hit below my thighs, my lower legs bound in black leather tracking skins. Kade looked massive in his reinforced vanguard harness, his chest broad and his jaw hard with dominant pride."Let them track my scent," I growled, my face contorting with a sudden wave of raw hostility. "They think because they control the ancient pack settlement of Wolfspring Hollow, they can treat our kind like stray meat. They have no idea what is coming for their bloodline.""Zuberi has already raised the silver firewalls around the Spirit Web Network," Kade murmured, his thumb catching a stray lock of my hair and
