Axel was lost. He had only been to the Blood Moon once before, and he had been by his mother’s side the entire time. But he was ten years old now, too old to be tucked behind his mother’s skirt. He had left her side not long after they had arrived, she had gone off with the other Lunas, first asking him if he was alright on his own. Of course, he was alright on his own! He was the future Alpha of Winter! But that was at least three hours ago, now, he was just Axel, the ten-year-old wolf lost in…

Peter was finishing his last chart. He had been here all night and finally caught up with all his patients. Finally, he was ready to go home, draw his curtains tight and crawl into bed to sleep. At least, that was the plan until his office door flew open. He let out a deep sigh, preparing to tell whoever it was to go away. “I… need help.” Peter looked up at the voice. It was Axel. He was leaning heavily against the door frame, his hand gripping his head, and he was sweating profusely. Even from…

The reports from the teams sent to the mounds were all the same. Fae creatures were found near or around each of the sites. None of the creatures became hostile or even acknowledged the presence of the men and women that arrived to clear the area. All fae had been exterminated without a fight. The only difference in the reports was that the southern mound was not found. Instead, the fae were spread out in the forest and in the pass, but none had made it to the actual site. Wyatt had gone off on his own,…

How the hell had this happened? He had made it very clear to Granger that he needed to lay low, stay out of the spotlight and wait for his orders. All he was meant to do was train the rogues, not lead them on a suicide mission to Summer! The only good thing that had come out of this mess was learning that Caleb was not crippled. Holden was rather angry to realize he had been fooled. Caleb was good. He’d give him that. “Do not do anything else!” Holden shouted on the phone. “Fine,” Granger…

Caleb didn’t respond, he just held her tighter, and she welcomed it. “We both put people at risk out of fear of losing each other,” she continued. “That won’t happen again.” “What are you saying?” Caleb asked quietly. Holding back the panic he felt rising in his stomach. Ashleigh turned so she could face him. She kissed his lips gently and placed her hand on his cheek. “We love each other, and that’s not going to change,” she smiled. He nuzzled against her hand. “But,” she…

Caleb growled in response to her words. “What did you expect?” she growled back. “You made yourself into the bait. You got what you wanted. He came after you.” “He was supposed to come after ME, not my people.” “Then you understand less about the shamelessness of a sadist than you pretend to!” she growled again. “You said it yourself, he enjoys the pain he inflicts, and he likes to see you weakened.” Caleb stared at her with anger and frustration. “What better way to show you…

The force of her blow knocked Caleb back. He stumbled over the chair and landed hard on the floor. His hand immediately guarded his tender side as he lifted his head to see her standing above him. Her jaw was clenched tight, and she took ragged breaths through her nose. Her eyes were filled with unshed tears, and it broke his heart to see. “I’m sorry…” he whispered. Ashleigh’s face fell. She squeezed her eyes tightly and dropped to her knees in front of him. Her shoulders sagged, and she…

Ashleigh woke in a hospital bed. She was groggy and weak, but her mind did not ease her into wakefulness. Instead, it threw forward the memory of Caleb standing before her, fighting a rogue wolf. ‘I need to find him,’ she thought, ‘I need to understand.’ She sat up and was immediately stopped. “Where do you think you are going?” Fiona’s stern voice said as she pushed back on Ashleigh’s shoulders, guiding her back down to the bed. “Fiona?” Ashleigh asked, surprised to see her…

Caleb left Ashleigh’s side reluctantly. “What is it?” he asked Galen as he approached. “We need a more private space,” Galen replied. They made their way to the supply station not far from the party. Galen checked inside before ushering Caleb in. “What’s going on?” Caleb asked, realizing that Galen was acting even more severe than usual. “We need to shut down the event,” Galen said. “What?” Caleb asked. “We got word from one of our teams watching the Rogues, a large…

“Go with the civilians. I will stay behind and keep them here as long as I can,” Ashleigh offered, reaching back and pulling the two karambit her suit held for her. Fiona smiled. “You will stay, but only because you are not familiar with our territory enough to guide our people home safely. I have already sent a protective detail with them,” Fiona said. “You will stay and hold this ground.” Ashleigh nodded as two of the other military wolves stepped up beside Fiona. “We’ll go in and…
