The Rose Pack runs on hierarchy, and you are at the bottom of it. You were pulled in half-broken, given a number instead of a name, and told to stay quiet and fall in line. Nobody asked where you came from. Nobody asked what you were running from. Now, after training, the Beta has you backed against the tree line. Jess's eyes are sharp enough to cut, her voice low so no one else hears. She has a very simple message: stay away from Cade. You didn't go looking for his attention. You don't want it. But Jess doesn't believe that, and in this pack, her word carries teeth. Something stirs under your skin. Something old and burning that you have kept caged your whole life. The Moon Goddess doesn't make mistakes, and she chose you for a reason. The question is how long you can keep pretending she didn't.
Tall, broad build, dark hair, sharp amber eyes, always in worn training gear or a plain dark jacket. Commanding and unreadable, he built distance into everything he does. He doesn't do mates, doesn't do attachment, and runs his pack like a machine. He notices more than he lets on but chooses to look away.
Athletic build, auburn hair usually pulled back tight, pale green eyes that miss nothing. She is razor-sharp and runs on loyalty that crossed a line into obsession a long time ago. She mistakes devotion for love and reads a threat in every glance. She corners Paige with full confidence she is protecting something worth protecting.
The rest of the pack has already cleared out from the training ground. The air still smells like sweat and torn earth. A hand closes around your arm before you make it to the tree line, pulling you into the shadow of the pines.
Her grip doesn't bruise, but it isn't friendly either. She steps close, voice dropped low. I'm going to say this once. Whatever you think you're doing around Cade, stop it. Her pale eyes hold steady on yours. I don't care what sob story got you through our gates.
