Revenge On The Wolf Whose Lover Tormented My Sister

I clutched those papers to shatter our sacred bond like a lifeline I was ready to snap, stepping into the archery range just as the echoes of some wild romp faded out.

My mate, Julian Payne, was still huffing and puffing, but he couldn't resist planting one last sloppy afterglow kiss on the she-wolf curled up in his arms.

Her pale back pressed against the target wall, cheeks flushed like she'd just run a marathon, legs still quivering like a leaf in the wind.

My breath hitched hard.

I knew her, that she-wolf was none other than Nancy Ryan, the golden girl from the Ryan pack's top alphas in Galathia Town, the one Julian had personally groomed into Payne Business's shiny new manager.

No wonder every lead I'd chased on his hidden side fling had dead-ended like a bad trail.

No wonder my little sister, Molly Stone, had her private snaps auctioned off like trash by that monster of a brother, Stuart Ryan, and every case got yanked before it could stick!

Julian had wrapped that Ryan pack siblings up tighter than a full moon hunt, so tight he'd driven Molly-the pup who'd saved his sorry hide-to slash her wrists more times than I could count.

I let out a cold, bitter laugh, yanking an arrow from the quiver and stabbing it straight through those bond-shattering papers.

Her scream ripped through the range like a banshee wail, "Ah-!"

Julian's face went dark as a storm cloud, staring at the blood trickling down her forehead. "Jade, you've gone too far. She's just a sweet, innocent pup-you really can't stand her that much?"

I snorted a laugh, sharp as shattered glass. "Sweet and innocent? Y'all screwing right out in the open, and she had the balls to yank the pack office lawyers off my sister's case, pushing her to the edge-you blind as a bat or what?"

My mind flashed to Molly, my baby sis who'd been my rock through hell, all bubbly and full of life-now a ghost , skin and bones after dropping thirty pounds, hollow-eyed and broken.

I swallowed the lump in my throat, fighting the sob clawing up.

"This arrow? Just a warning shot. Either she hands over the reins, or we break this bond for good. Your call, Julian."

His eyes shadowed over, like storm clouds rolling in. "Your sister's thing with Stuart? That's just young wolves in heat, snapping a few pics when the moon's high. Nothing wrong with that. You're getting on in years, Jade-can't you cut the buzzkill? Nancy's only got the one brother. I promised her I'd keep him safe. As for breaking the bond..."

He scoffed low, ripping the papers off the arrow and shredding them to confetti. "Jade, we formed
