The car rolled to a stop in front of an old brick house. From my seat, I studied the place through the 

window. 

A peculiar smell wafted from the house, one that instantly unsettled me. The scent confirmed my suspicions–a wizard lived here–but there was something else about it that didn’t sit right. Something…off. 

I didn’t bother waiting for the driver to open my door. Instead, I unlocked it myself and stepped out, my boots crunching against the gravel driveway. Finn followed closely behind me as I made my way 

toward the house. 

The daylight illuminated the faded exterior, the peeling paint making it clear the house hadn’t been maintained in years. 

“He couldn’t even afford a fresh coat of paint, yet he was working for the Royal Family?” I scoffed, rolling my eyes. “Alpha Magnus must’ve been a real miser if this is how he paid the man who did his dirty work.” 

Stopping at the front door, I glanced at Finn, who was shifting uneasily behind me. 

“Kane,” he started cautiously, “are you planning to kill him?” 

I didn’t answer, my gaze fixed on the door. My mind was already made up. The man who helped Selene hide my children deserved to pay. How could he have dared to meddle in my life like that? 

Ignoring Finn’s question, I lifted my hand to knock on the door. 

Before my knuckles could make contact, the door creaked open from the inside. 

Standing in the doorway was an old man. The sunlight streaming behind me contrasted sharply with the shadowy interior of the house. It was as though the darkness inside actively resisted the light from 

outside. 

Our eyes met, and I froze for a split second. 

This wasn’t just a wizard. He was a werewolf too–a hybrid. That explained the strange scent I’d picked up earlier. 

I frowned at the old man, who stared back at me without a hint of fear. Instead, his expression was one of quiet amazement, as though he had been expecting me. 

“All hail our new Alpha,” he said, his voice calm yet laced with something I couldn’t quite place. 

I raised an eyebrow, faintly surprised he already knew about the war. News must’ve traveled faster than I thought. But in a desolate area like this, who had informed him? From what Finn told me, this man lived here alone. 

“Raven?” Finn asked, breaking the silence to confirm the man’s identity. 

It was a valid question. I could tell Finn was just as surprised as I was to find out Raven was a hybrid. 

The old man nodded at Finn before bowing to me. 

I couldn’t help but notice the way he moved. Despite his age, he still had enough strength to bow

But that scent hit me again, stronger this time. It was unlike any other hybrid I’d encountered before, and I didn’t like it. I had never been fond of witches or wizards. They weren’t like us. They didn’t live like us. They didn’t have wolves. 

Yet hybrids like this man–those who wielded both a wolf and magic–were something else entirely. They always abused their power. Just like he had, using his abilities to hide my children from me.
