    I arrived under the night sky at my pack, stepped down from the carriage, and walked into the living room where my mother was waiting for me on her toes.


    She froze the instant she saw me. I swallowed, standing still, watching her face break into a bright smile.


    “I did it.”


    At those words, she sighed shakily and moved toward the chair to sit. For a moment her fingers trembled, but she steadied herself with a firm nod.


    “You did well, son,” she said. “I am proud of you. Now we wait and see how the amulet works out.”


    I nodded, and then she turned, as if remembering something.


    “What about the real amulet ne you altered it with?” she asked, and I pulled it out.


    I had seen Zeph’s face when she spoke of the gift Apex had given her. She had held this very ne with reverence. But now, I had altered it with mine.


    “How did Lady Sylvara know the exact ne Zeph wore, Mother? It’s identical, down to thest detail.” I asked, truly curious, and she only shrugged.


    “You think they sit idle at the wolf fortress? No. They are there for reasons like this. To prevent Ill fate from taking its course. Apex with Zeph is wrong. It is evil. Listen well, son.” She sighed again. “When she begins to love you, I want no dys. Mate with her. Marry her. Bear pups with her at once. Do you understand?”


    Hearing this made me swallow hard. The thought of her here with me, mine sent a thrill coursing through me. But it did notst. The sound of the gates opening cut through my thoughts.


    I traded a sharp nce with my mother before I moved to the window. My breath caught as I saw it. A carriage bearing the crest of the ckbridge Pack.


    Slowly, elegantly, almost shamelessly, Ka stepped down from the carriage. Her presence here shocked me. Thest time she came, it was to discard me and implicate me in an incident

    Now she stood still, radiating arrogance, her presence dragging silence over the entire pack.


    The rumors were already out there. We were all only waiting for Varyn Ashmere to appear at the wolf fortress and deliver his verdict. One that would seal Ka’s fate and ruin her name, and Yadevs, forever.


    I stepped back as the door opened. My younger sister Olivia entered, fresh from another failed training session. After countless attempts to be a healer, she had failed miserably, and I was already losing hope.


    She froze, staring at me for a heartbeat, then turned toward the door just as Ka walked in.


    But Kai rushed forward to block her way.


    “You can’t just barge into Hue Pack without an invite,” he snapped, anger ring. “Not now, not with all the scandal hanging over your head.”


    Ka swallowed, but as shameless as ever, she walked past him and stopped in front of me, lips curling into a low smirk.


    “Nyroth. We need to talk.”


    “My son will not speak to a whore. A liar. A merchant of death who sold out our best warrior to very!” my mother spat, wasting no time. She scoffed at Ka’s face and hissed: “Get out!”


    “I apologize, Mother, but I don’t think I can leave just yet.” Ka’s voice was silky, her gaze locked on me. She smiled. “My love. I should inform you that I am… back.”


    Silence fell. Tension rose. And suddenly, I burst intoughter. Holy gods, what did she just say?


    When Hue Pack faced its critics and stood on the verge of copse, Ka had never once looked back at me. Instead, she wrapped herself in the arms of a new Alpha who clearly had abandoned her now that her filthy secrets were dragged into the open.


    “I forgot to tell you, dear Ka,” I said, smiling coldly. “Zeph ising back to me. There is no ce for you here in this pack, or in my heart.”
