Labyrinth of Flame

Raised within an Alpha family, Maelyra Hawthorne has spent her entire life training to prove she belongs. Fighting, pushing, and falling silent when the weight of it becomes too much - and still the belonging she has longed for remains just out of reach. The pack sees what she lacks. She has spent years trying not to agree with them.

There are many things that make surviving hard. He is simply the one who seems to enjoy it most. Sylus has always known exactly where to place the cracks, and no matter how carefully she rebuilds, he finds them again. She has learned to expect it. What she hasn't learned is how to stop noticing when something about him begins to shift.

When danger finds her, it doesn't arrive quietly. It finds her the way it always does - when she is already running, already alone, and already out of people to trust. The dark is far worse than anything the pack ever made her feel. And what she carries out of it will raise questions neither she nor the pack is prepared to answer. But it changes everything - and not just for her.

In a world ruled by wolves and bloodlines,
A bond can heal, or it can burn.
Some arrive before you see them coming.
Some things you only understand too late.
