03:03inside me agitated i open the vault's heavy iron door and step inside my entire value in this pack has
03:09been reduced to one thing keeping the pack house running smoothly and eventually becoming a quiet
03:14obedient luna elena stop thinking like that your worth doesn't come from him walk out of here or better
03:22yet go back out there and show them what what happens when they cross us i move deeper into the
03:29vault my fingers trailing over velvet line jewelry cases and couture gowns sheets and garment bags
03:34these things are worth more than my birth packs entire treasury vivian wants the best
03:40i open a case and lift out a cartier necklace dripping with rubies the stones catch the dim light
03:45and throw it back in my eyes like tiny sparks of pain i carry it out of the vault the
03:49way you carry a
03:50piece of hot iron the welcome banquet fills the estate's great hall every high-ranking member of
03:56the pack is there glasses clinking laughter rising but their reactions aren't uniform vivian glides
04:02between them personally filling glasses and passing dishes her smile never dimming for a single second
04:07she looks genuinely happy
04:12i hand the jewelry and gowns off to an omega attendant and slip back to my seat without a word
04:16the steak and roasted vegetables on my plate go untouched selena's husband was a plaque warrior
04:22killed during a rogue siege he was one of my most trusted brothers and mia a young she-wolf with
04:27no
04:27one left in this world having grayson accept her as his mate is the greatest honor blackmore can offer
04:34grayson nods along gazing at mia with something that looks dangerously like tenderness and protectiveness
04:39all tangled together the burn in my chest surges again
04:46my stomach turns inside out
04:50good i can't stand his scent for one more second
04:56later that night i hear footsteps soft ones they stop outside my door
05:01my pulse spikes who's there it's me vivian
05:10i freeze for a second then cross the room and pull the door open
05:14she stands in the corridor moonlight carves her features into something sharp and cold
05:19her eyes glinting like the edge of a blade for a split second i catch a flash of silver deep
05:24in her
05:24pupils her wolf she's stronger than we thought
05:28much stronger vivian slips inside and shuts the door
05:31my heart hammers
05:34vivian
05:34she spins around closes the distance between us in two quick strides and seizes my wrist
05:40her grip is iron shocking and human the kind of strength that doesn't belong to an ordinary she-wolf

06:02this pack has been rotten to its core for years
06:05today isn't the first time and it won't be the last
06:08how long are you planning to wait
06:09until mia carries his pup
06:12until she gives him an heir
06:14you get shoved into the farthest corner of this estate
06:17or worse
06:17thrown out of the pack entirely like a stray nobody wants
06:26yeah what exactly am i still hoping for vivian releases my wrist and moves to my vanity
06:32she yanks open the drawers and sweeps everything into a black travel bag she's clearly prepared in advance diamond studs
06:37pearl necklace platinum bracelet all of it in one clean motion
06:41stop standing there like a statue your asset documents the ones from your birth pack where are they get them
06:47everything valuable everything portable leave nothing behind especially the property deeds company shares and bank account information
06:58i snap awake cross to the bed in three quick strides and pull a locked document case from the hidden
07:03compartment in my nightstand
07:06inside is every financial record i brought from my birth pack vivian takes the case
07:11that apartment building on the south side of town the storefront on main street
07:15good liquid assets easy to convert
07:20what about the rest locked in the packs communal vault
07:23foolish girl

07:43she produces a ring of keys and a stack of plastic cards
07:47viviana are though keys to every vault in this pack house
07:50authorization cards for every bank account
07:53passcodes for every asset under the blackmore name
07:58i've managed this pack's finances for 20 years

08:14werewolf senses
08:15i have scent blockers
08:18by the time they notice
08:20we'll be hundreds of miles away
08:27the people i've spent 20 years cultivating weren't cultivated for nothing
08:31dominic thinks leading a pack and barking orders on the battlefield makes him powerful
08:35i'm going to teach him that managing the finances and the inner workings of a plaque
08:40is a hell of a lot harder than howling at the moon
08:44this opens the north wing vault the alliance dividends from his last alpha summit are in there
08:48the safe in the east wing basement holds generations of blackmore family antiques and paintings
08:53she pauses and one corner of her mouth curves upward
08:57there's a hidden room
09:01i spent three years building it in secret
09:04gold bars
09:05cash

09:16i meet vivian's gaze and shake my head
09:19scared
09:19when grayson looked at that girl
09:21i felt the mate bond burn a hole straight through my chest
09:25let it burn
09:27burn it all
09:32good girl
09:33remember this
09:35a she-wolf can only count on two things
09:37the money in her own hands
09:39and another she-wolf

09:42alphas
09:43they crown themselves kings
09:44let them sit on their crumpling thrones

10:06if we don't
10:07dominic throws every last one of us into the dungeons

10:12let them choose for themselves
10:16i'm gonna empty this pack house
10:18then i'm gonna run
10:20will you come with me
10:22not a heartbeat of hesitation
10:24in perfect unison
10:25they tilt their heads
10:26burying the sides of their necks in the wolf's oath of loyalty
10:33we go where you go elena
10:34good
10:35move fast
10:36we have two hours
10:39the night presses in
10:41thick and dark
10:42the entire pack house is sunk in post-banquet stupor
10:45the ghosts of whiskey and red wine still linger in the hallways
10:48seeping from under closed doors
10:50the four of us
10:51me
10:51vivian
10:52rain
10:53and grace
10:53become shadows
10:56we move through that sleeping house like thieves in our own home
10:59because that's exactly what we are
11:01carrying
11:02loading
11:02stripping the place room by room
11:05two hours later
11:06vivian and grace return from their final run
11:08behind them come two more she-wolves
11:10silent
11:11broad-shouldered
11:12vivian's people
11:13cultivated in secret over the years
11:15each one hauls a pair of heavy luggage cases like they weigh nothing
11:18done
11:21thomas has the vehicles waiting on the old back road
11:23two suvs and a cargo van
11:25the other pack members loyal to me have each received 50,000 in severance
11:29they've already scattered
11:31by sunrise this estate will be a hollow shell
11:34i stare at her and something close to us swells in my chest
11:37this woman who has played the role of gossel luna for 20 years inside these walls
11:41how many secrets has she buried
11:43how many moves has she been calculating while the rest of us saw nothing but a polite smile
11:49let's go
11:49vivian pulls a spray bottle from her coat pocket and misses each of us quick
11:53efficient passes
11:54a bitter herbal smell blooms in the air
11:57scent foster
11:58it'll mask our trail for at least 12 hours
12:00then the six of us pick up our bags and slip through the dark corridors
12:04silent as breath
12:05toward the back door of the estate
12:10the old service road behind the estate is pitch black
12:13thomas stands beside three vehicles
12:15two black suvs and a dark cargo van
12:17the van is already packed to the ceiling with boxes and duffel bags
12:20he steps forward when he sees us
12:23his voice barely above a whisper
12:25luna elena
12:27everything's ready
12:28vivian nods and hands him a heavy backpack
12:33thomas thank you for everything all these years
12:37don't
12:40after everything you've done for me and my family i'd fight for you i'd die for you you know that
12:45we pile into the middle suv vivian and i take the back seat rain and grace squeeze into the third
12:52row the interior smells of leather cold metal and road dust vivian lowers her window a few inches and speaks
12:58to thomas her words quick and clipped take the southern route
13:03drive the van to savannah there's a contact waiting for you
13:07once you've offloaded everything take your family and leave the country
13:11don't come back
13:13new passports and ids are in the glove compartment on the passenger side
13:17thank you luna
13:19you
13:20take care of yourselves
13:21up front
13:22the driver
13:23another of vivian's people
13:24turns the ignition
13:25the suv rolls forward without a sound
13:28sliding into the darkness
13:30i twist around to look through the rear window
13:33the silhouette of the pack house shrinks in the moonlight
13:35that gothic stone manor that has held three years of my life and everything i once believed would be my
13:39forever
13:40now it's just a shape getting smaller
13:42i turn back
13:43my palms are freezing
13:45vivian's hand finds mine and closes around it
13:48don't look back
13:49our new life starts now
13:51i nod and lean my head against her shoulder
13:55deep inside the black myrpac house a raging thirst drags dominic out of his drunken sleep
14:03vivian
14:04vivian
14:06he reaches through the mind link for vivian nothing
14:09dread hits him like a fist to the sternum
14:13he bolts out of bed barefoot and sprints down the corridor to the luna's quarters
14:17the door is wide open
14:18vanity
14:19cleared
14:20walk-in closet
14:21stripped bare
14:22he inhales hard
14:23trying to catch a scent trail
14:25but all that remains is a bitter
14:27unfamiliar smell
14:28herbal
14:29chemical
14:30wrong
14:31silence
14:32vivian
14:33he tears through the house to the east wing
14:35elena's room
14:36same thing
14:37empty
14:38cold
14:39the bed is made
14:40the closet gutted
14:41the nightstand drawers pulled out and left hanging
14:44panic claws up his throat
14:46he takes the stairs three at a time racing for the underground vault
14:49the keypad lock is accessed
14:51the vault door hangs open
14:53cash
14:54gold bars
14:55antiques
14:57property deeds
14:58bank authorization cards
15:00every last thing that generations of black myrs accumulated
15:03gone
15:04only now
15:05standing in this hollow
15:06ransacked room
15:07does it finally hit him
15:08that woman
15:10that quiet
15:11obedient luna who smiled and served for 20 years
15:14and his son's silent little wife who never raised her voice
15:17they have taken everything
15:19every last cent of the black myrpac's wealth
15:21and they have vanished
15:25a howl rips out of his throat
15:28savage
15:28loud enough to crack the pre-dawn silence for miles
15:31his eyes blaze crimson
15:33his nails split through skin
15:34lengthening into claws that gouge the steel doorframe
15:37she's dead
15:38they're both dead
15:40none of us sleep that night
15:41the suv hurtles down back roads for hours
15:44and by the time the sky begins to lighten
15:46thin gray line along the eastern horizon
15:48we pull into a derelict gas station in the middle of nowhere
15:50parked beside the rusted pumps is an unremarkable gray van
15:53a wiry man in a baseball cap leans against it
15:56an unlit cigarette tucked between his fingers
15:58we climb out of the suv and
16:01with the two she-wolves helping
16:03begin transferring everything from the suv's trunk into the van
16:08i have to compact safe that weighs a ton
16:10my arms scream
16:14by the time the first real light touches the sky
16:16the transfer is complete
16:18the two she-wolves approach vivian
16:20no words
16:21they just pull her into a tight embrace
16:23hold on for a long moment
16:25then let go
16:25without a sound
16:27they get back into the now empty suv
16:28and drive off in the opposite direction
16:30each heading toward her own extraction point
16:35vivian hands the original driver a thick envelope
16:40the man in the baseball cap takes the wheel and steers us onto a back road with no street lights
16:44heading south
16:46vivian where are we going
16:48ashford
16:49a small town deep in the blue ridge mountains
16:52i bought a house there years ago with private funds from my birth pack
16:57registered under a false name no one knows it exists
17:01elena i was sent to blackmore pack when i was about your age
17:04my mating was a bargaining chip my father traded me for blackmore's alliance
17:09your mating was your birth pack's attempt to climb the social ladder by tying themselves to alpha blood
17:14we're the same you and i
17:16i endured it for 20 years
17:18watched him bring home one she-wolf after another
17:23raised pups he fathered with other women as if they were my own
17:27stood by while he drained my personal assets to cover pack debts he'd created
17:31i told myself just hold on
17:33wait until grayson grows up
17:35finds his mate
17:36takes over as alpha
17:38then i'll have survived it
17:39but i didn't expect grayson to turn out exactly like his father
17:42the way he looked at mia i recognized it instantly
17:46that was the same look dominic gave his first mistress 20 years ago
17:50this pack is beyond saving
17:52if you keep enduring your today becomes my yesterday
17:56and my today becomes your tomorrow
17:58i refuse to accept this
18:00why should she-wilves always be the ones to endure
18:03why do alphas get to do whatever they want
18:06if they won't give us a way out
18:08we'll carve one through bone and blood
18:11i look at the silver threads in vivian's hair
18:14and everything clicks into place
18:16this isn't impulse
18:17this isn't panic
18:19she has spent half a lifetime swallowing her rage
18:21and she's bet every ounce of it on this one final play for freedom
18:27viviana i'm with you wherever you go
18:29she smiles a real one
18:33from now on don't call me luna and don't call me mother-in-law
18:36i have my own name viviana you can call me viv
18:41my nose stings i nod
18:44viv
18:47this is our foundation
18:48it took me years to quietly convert blackmore's tangible assets into these
18:53a dozen property deeds and commercial real estate certificates scattered across the country
18:57two of them in canada
18:58what we have is this digital assets and offshore accounts all registered under shell companies
19:06legally there's no connection to blackmore pack whatsoever
19:09once we reach ashford and switch to our new identities no one will find us
19:12she slides out one more sheet and hands it to me a formally printed document
19:16the header bold and unmistakable mate rejection declaration
19:23not alpha dominic rejecting her her rejecting him what follows makes my blood run cold
19:29she's listed dominic's offenses one by one 20 years worth
19:34violation of the mate bond countless affairs with other she-wolves embezzlement of pack funds
19:40bribery at alliance summits collusion with rogue factions for illegal trade any single one of them
19:46is enough for the werewolf council to strip him of his alpha title permanently
19:50i've had a hundred copies made and distributed to different people in different locations
19:55if we're left in peace none of them will ever reach the council's desk
19:59but if dominic sends anyone after us then blackmore pack can wait for the council to order its dissolution
20:06she's a strategist a general now we sever our ties to blackmore pack
20:13once we take this step there's no going back are you ready more than ready viv
20:22the van crawls south along empty back roads for three days and three nights
20:26we barely stop except for gas and bathroom breaks meals or whatever has been stashed in the vehicle
20:31the occasional bag of chips or gas station sandwich picked up at desolate rest stops along the way
20:36the driver is a man of few words when it's time to eat
20:40he reaches into the bag on the passenger seat and passes back a handful of protein bars and water
20:44bottles in the beginning i are wound tight as springs i keep twisting around to check the rear window
20:50scanning for headlights tailing us vivian though vivian could be sitting in a first-class lounge
20:55she spends most of the ride leaned back with her eyes closed when she does open them she uses the
21:00time
21:00to teach me things she's kept hidden for decades how to identify useful herbs growing along the roadside
21:05how to mix a field expedient scent blocker how to navigate by landmarks and find water in the wild
21:10on the morning of the fourth day interstates coming up ahead too many cameras on the highway
21:16not our kind of road vivian nods and hands him a thick envelope pull over at that abandoned rest area
21:23up ahead we'll switch vehicles thank you for everything says nothing more and does as she asks
21:29we unloaded a rest stop that looks like it's been abandoned for years cracked concrete
21:35nothing but pine forest stretching in every direction just the four of us and a pile of
21:40luggage in an empty parking lot viv what now wait about an hour passes an engine growls in the distance
21:49a battered black pickup truck emerges from a narrow forest track a lean man in a worn leather jacket
21:54climbs out and walks straight to vivian mrs v vehicles ready just like you asked
