Jensen’s POV

“She’s my mate. Why are you asking about her?”

The question left my mouth automatically, the word mate felt strange now. I didn’t deserve to call her that while mated to Sharon; she deserved so much better.

The immigration officer exhaled when I confirmed my name.

“Alpha Jensen of Nightfang Pack?”

“Yes.”

There was a shuffle of parchment on the other end.

“Alpha, The Keeper-” he corrected himself quickly, “Miss Natalie Summers filed for cross- territory travel clearance through the Northern Council Gate. The approval was finalized this morning, we’ve attempted to contact her repeatedly regarding the collection. Since we could not reach her, we’re required to notify the listed emergency contact.”

For a second, I forgot how to breathe.

“Travel clearance?” My voice came out controlled. “When did she file?”

There was another pause.

“Ten days ago, Alpha.”

Ten days.

Cairn went still inside me.

Ten days ago.

The day I marked Sharon before the elders.

The day I stood beneath the Moonstone altar and announced a mating bond the pack had not expected.

The day I left Natalie alone on her birthday.

The chill that crawled down my spine had nothing to do with the wind cutting through the

cemetery.

“Are you certain?” I asked.

“Yes, Alpha. Full application, background verification, cross–pack evaluation, and she requested departure from Nightfang jurisdiction”

Greycrest?

“What was the purpose of travel?” I asked evenly

“There’s a notation here: training and archival research with Greycrest Archives. It appears to be a long–term placement.”

“How long?” I asked.

The officer cleared his throat. “Indefinite. Her documents were processed as permanent departure.”

Permanent.

An international conglomerate run by wolves who operated outside pack politics. They were powerful, independent, and impossible to track

Cairn’s claws scraped inside my chest.

“She was leaving,” he said.

I ignored him.

“How did she look?” I asked the officer. “When she filed.”

A pause.

“Alpha, we process dozens of applicants daily. I cannot recall her condition.”

“Was she injured or sounded forced?”

“Injured?”

“Yeah, she wouldn’t want to leave me unless she was being threatened.”

Silence.

“I’m sorry, Alpha. I can’t recall.”

Of course he couldn’t.

I ended the call and lowered the phone slowly.

The cemetery felt suffocating now, not because of grief but of truth.

The bodyguard was watching me carefully from a few steps away, waiting for instruction.

I looked once more at the grave behind me.

“She is dead,” I said under my breath.

But she had already chosen to walk away before she burned.

That realization pressed heavier than the grave itself.

I turned to the bodyguard.

“Take the car back to the penthouse.”

He blinked. “Alpha?”

“You heard me.”

He hesitated only half a second before bowing his head. “Yes, Alpha.”

He moved toward the driver’s side, uncertain but obedient.

I stepped away from the parking lot, toward the tree line bordering the cemetery. Human territory ended at the iron gates, and beyond that was my pack.

Cairn stirred fully now.

“Let’s run,” I said and felt him surge forward.

“Yes.”

I closed my eyes and reached inward.

Cairn rose without resistance; power slid through bone and muscle, heat spreading beneath my skin. The familiar tearing sensation followed not painful, just transformative. Flesh reshaped, spine lengthened.

When I opened my eyes again, the world sharpened.

Cairn stretched fully into the night air, massive and dark in his glory, his paws sinking into damp earth. The weakness from the hospital was gone.

He turned once toward the cemetery; I could feel his anger at me, but there was nothing to do now.

It was already too late.

The grave stood silent behind iron bars.

Then we ran.

The forest blurred past in streaks of shadow as the wind tore through our fur.

This was reclaiming.

We crossed the invisible boundary into Nightfang territory, and the shift in the air was immediate. The pack lands recognized us as energy hummed low beneath the ground, a current only wolves could feel.

Cairn did not slow.

He moved with purpose through side streets and pack members but toward the penthouse tower rising at the center of our territory.

When we reached the private lower entrance reserved for the pack officials, I shifted back.

I stood there in the dim security corridor after dressing up.

Cairn did not retreat.

He remained close to the surface when I entered the elevator.

And went up.

The door opened under my thumbprint.

The moment I stepped inside, something shifted.

The air felt thinner and wrong.

I stood in the entryway and listened.

No movement.

No heartbeat other than mine.

No faint hum of her presence moving through the rooms like she used to.

I walked forward slowly.
