Chapter 155 Jason, standing at the head of the table, turned sharply, his expression hardening when he saw the figure storming in. Alexander didn’t stop to speak again.

Chapter 154 The council hall was chaos. Not the kind that came from outside…the kind born of anger, fear, and wounded pride. The Alphas of the surrounding packs had gathered for what was meant to be a day of peace and strategy, but now their voices clashed like swords in
Chapter 153 Chapter 153 Claim Chapter 153 ALEXANDER The world blurred past me as I ran. My wolf tore through the forest path like a beast possessed, muscles burning, paws slamming against scorched earth. Every sense in me was tuned to one thing… her, Faye. Her scent was faint, scattered
Chapter 152 The battle had turned beautifully chaotic. Fire roared through Silver Hollow’s main district, the smoke curling like black banners above rooftops.

Chapter 150 Chapter 150 FAYE When my mother saw me standing at the doorway, she froze. For a second, she didn’t move or speak…just stared like she wasn’t sure if she was seeing right. Then her eyes softened, and I saw that tiny twitch in her lips before she finally
Chapter 149 there for a long time after she drifted off, her head resting in my lap, the steady rise and fall of her breathing finally even again. Faye had fought sleep for so long, her mind still racing from what she’d seen, until exhaustion finally claimed her. I brushed
Chapter 148 Chapter 148 FAYE I shook my head slowly, the weight of Alexander’s words sinking in. For a moment, I wasn’t even sure I’d heard him right. The air around us felt heavy– too still, too charged. My heart was pounding so loudly I could barely hear my own
Chapter 147 ALEXANDER As Faye stepped back into the room, I was standing at the balcony, watching the faint glow of moonlight spill over the trees. I didn’t need to turn around to know it was her… her smell already did the job, and then the sound of her steps,
Chapter 146 Chapter 146 FAYE We’d been sitting for a while…long enough for my thoughts to drift from one place to another…when Sage finally spoke. “Faye.” Her voice was soft, uncertain. I turned my head to look at her. The moonlight caught the side of her face, highlighting the traces

Chapter 144 Chapter 144 The door shut behind Sage and Jason, sealing them away from the polite laughter and clinking cutlery of the dining hall below. The quiet that followed was thick, and it made Jason’s shoulders tighten even before Sage opened her mouth. Sage spun to face him the
Chapter 143 Chapter 143 The hum of conversation was steady in the hall, half–laughed jokes, and formal introductions. Glasses clinked as stewards moved discreetly between alphas and their escorts. Sage stood near Jason, smiling that well–trained smile, though her heart hadn’t settled since the evening began. Jason himself looked stiff…commanding
Chapter 142 SILVER HOLLOW Sage moved through the room with a poise that came naturally to her, her smile warm and practiced as she greeted each arriving guest. Tonight was important. Tonight marked the gathering of packs who had not stood under one roof together in years. Jason stood at
Chapter 141 Chapter 141 FAYE When I woke, the world felt heavy with silence. At first, I wasn’t sure what had stirred me. Then I felt it…the warmth, the weight, the steady beat of a heart pressed right against my skin. I looked down and saw it. Alexander’s head rested
Chapter 140 Chapter 140 FAYE Alexander didn’t speak right away. The silence stretched between us, like he was weighing his response instead of rushing to fill the air. My nerves hummed as I waited, the pounding of my heart so loud it was almost ridiculous. I wasn’t sure what I

Chapter 138 When Laura left, Sage stood in the middle of the hall with her arms folded, her lips pressed tight. Her friend’s words echoed in her head, sharp and merciless…but she refused to let them cut too deep. Jason had his flaws, she wasn’t blind. But so what? Every
Chapter 137 3/3 < Chapter 137 Claim Chapter 137 Laura folded her arms and held Sage’s gaze, her voice dropping lower but losing none of its bite. “No, Sage. I’m not letting this go this time. Someone has to tell you the truth, and if it has to be me,
Chapter 136 The hall was a storm of motion, and at its center stood Sage. Her voice carried above the clatter of furniture being moved and the shuffle of hurried footsteps. “No, not that way–turn the table just a little more. Yes, like that. And for the flowers, I want
