He smiled. “So he is mated to you.”
“Like I said, nothin certain,” I hissed.
“And now?”
“Now what?”
“Is he still loyal to us?”
“I don’t know,” I said quietly.
He smiled like he’d caught me. “Are you sure you’re not the one who’s wavering, Caitlyn? You were close to him.”
“I wasn’t ‘close’. All I did was what you asked me to do. I captured him and brought him to the base. I went to see if he was successful in the task we assigned to him. He’d failed, but promised to complete it later. So when he called me, I went to see him. Every encounter I have had with him has been about this mission. Nothing else.”
“Good. Because if I even suspect you’re compromised, I won’t hesitate.”
I nodded once. Sharp. Controlled.
He turned back to the window. Below us, I could see the camp-soldiers training in tight formation, guns gleaming in the sunlight. Tents reinforced with wards. A truck being unloaded with more silver rounds. Vials of liquid wolfsbane. We were preparing for war, and it was happening fast. The Blood M was coming sooner than any of us had anticipated.
“How are the alchemists progressing with the toxin?” I asked, needing to shift the topic.
“On schedule. Enough to paralyze twenty wolves per vial. The airborne version is almost stable. We’ll use it if things get desperate.”
My stomach twisted. We’d used it before. I’d watched wolves writhe, suffocating as their lungs collapsed. And yet, part of me didn’t flinch anymore. I hated them. They were animals.
Monsters.
And Blake was the worst.
But somehow… I didn’t feel that burning contempt for him.
“What about the girl? Lia,” I said, forcing the name out like poison.

The Commander’s face twisted in distaste. “She’s the biggest threat. All the books talk about her. And right now, she’s unpredictable. If she survives the Blood Moon, she’ll ascend.”
“Ascend?”
“She’ll become more than a wolf. Her magic will fully awaken. And then we lose the upper hand.”
My fists clenched. Goddess-born. Of course she would get power handed to her on a silver platter. People like her always did.
“Zane won’t let her out of his sight,” I muttered.
“No. He’s just as dangerous,” he agreed. “He’s smarter than most of his kind. Strategic. Calm. And he loves her like she is the air he breathes. If we want to eliminate the girl, we’ll have to get through him.”
“Then we separate them.”
His lips curved into a faint smile. “That is the plan.”
He paused, then walked toward the table in the center of the room. It was covered in maps, target lists, profiles. I spotted Zane’s face and wanted to rip it in half.
“We strike in two nights,” he said. “Under the Blood Moon. But you,” he looked up at me again “you’ll be part of the distraction team. Draw them out. Make them believe we’re attacking from the west.”
I nodded.
“And if you see Blake?”
I hesitated.
The Commander waited, eyes fixed on me.
“If he’s turned against us and joined hands with them,” I said slowly, “I’ll kill him myself.”
The words tasted like ash. But I didn’t let it show.
“Good girl,” he said, and left.
I stood alone in the room, staring down at Blake’s profile. The man who had ruined everything. Distracted me too much from my mission. My fingers hovered over his printed photo, then curled into a fist.
Blake, you idiot. You stubborn, selfish idiot.
You were supposed to stay away.
Either take the girl with you, or run back home.
Not run to her.
But you made your choice.
And I would make mine.
If you stand in our way-if you stand in my way-I’ll burn everything down.
Including you.
-LIA’S POV-
The training room was deeper in the pack house than I expected. Past all the usual halls and wings, down a long staircase that felt like we were heading into a bunker. The air was heavier here. The walls thicker. Like the whole place was built to keep something locked in-or out.
Zane hadn’t said much since we left Blake behind upstairs. But the way he held my hand? He hadn’t let go once.
When we walked into the room, the Hounds were already there. Ajax leaned against the wall. Warner and Aaron sat on one of the mats. Sheila stood with her arms crossed, watching me closely.
“Welcome to the lab,” Ajax said, grinning. “Ready to fry our brains with your freaky powers?”
“Don’t be an idiot,” Zane muttered. “This is serious.”
The room was wide, with padded mats across the floor. Some light weapons were stacked in the corner. A full mirror stretched across one wall, and I hated how pale I looked in it. Silver streaks were already threading through my hair.
I frowned, running my hand through it.
Then turned to Zane again.
“So,” I said, trying to sound confident. “What’s the plan?”
“We start with control,” Zane said. “Focus exercises first. Then we try compulsion.”
I raised an eyebrow. “On who?”
He looked over at the Hounds.
“Nope,” Ajax said immediately, raising his hands. “Not messing with my head.”
“Oh please,” Sheila muttered. “Like you use it.”
“You want to do it?” he shot back.
Zane stepped in. “She’s trying it on me.”
“What?” I said.
“I can handle it.”
“No, Zane.”
“Yes.”
We stared at each other. I could feel my frustration building.
Ajax whistled softly. “This is gonna be fun.”
Zane turned back to me. “Just start simple. Look at me. make me take one step back. Just that.”
Try to
I nodded, even though my chest felt tight. I looked into his eyes, and took a careful breath.
“Step back.”
Nothing.
“Again,” he said.
