Perry lifted the porcelain vial, uncorked it, and sniffed. No scent. He replaced the stopper, frowning slightly.

As for the note’s claim–that this potion could sever any contract with the Moon Goddess–he dismissed it outright. Such a thing was impossible. And the woman he’d rescued had been nothing more than an ordinary omega without a wolf; how could she possibly possess such a miraculous potion?
Still, her sudden disappearance left him oddly disappointed. “I don’t even know your name… or which pack you’re from.”
He lingered a moment longer before turning away. He had already delayed too much. His alpha still needed him.
Not long after he left, the veiled woman slipped down from the branches of a tree nearby.
Her eyes were no longer dark but a vivid green, gleaming with life.
She was the southern continent’s most powerful forest witch—the very one who had developed the Lupine virus under Ulrich’s patronage. But when Ulrich himself fell ill, and the funds dried up, she had abandoned the project.

Satisfied the device was working, Nathan carefully sterilized it and turned toward Henry.
“Please, Alpha Henry. If your blood proves clean, I will personally deliver the King’s apology.”
The words sealed it. There would be no leaving without the test.
Henry’s brows knitted, his violet eyes sweeping the hall. Every gaze was fixed upon him. Worse still, he could feel the beta warriors surrounding the villa outside–closing off every escape.

A warrior offered him a sterile lancet. Henry waved it away. With a flick of his fingers, a slim jeweled dagger shimmered into being.
He sliced his fingertip in a clean line. At once, beads of dark red blood welled up.
