Here we gooo ~
Ren lounged on the rooftop, watching Kieran stalk through the crowd below. The Alpha was stiff, agitated, his silver eyes scanning the area like he could will Ren into appearing.
Ren (MC)
Poor thing.
(Ren muttered, voice dripping with sarcasm.)
Lost your little mate already?
Beside him, a soft chuckle sounded.
Eli
I don’t know whether to be impressed or concerned.
( came a voice.)
You’ve been in town for what? Two days? And you already have the scariest Alpha around hunting you?
Ren (MC)
(Ren turned, arching a brow at his companion.)
Oh, please, Eli. It’s called being irresistible. Not my fault they get obsessed.
Eli
(Eli, a tall, dark-haired warlock, gave him an unimpressed look.)
Or maybe it’s because you’re a reckless fox who can’t help but poke the most dangerous wolves.
Ren (MC)
(Ren grinned.)
Guilty.
Eli
(Eli sighed, shaking his head.)
So what’s the plan? You gonna keep playing hard to get, or should I start preparing your grave?
Ren (MC)
(Ren popped a lollipop into his mouth.)
I’m thinking… neither. I might poke him a little more, though. Just to see how possessive he really is.
Eli
(Eli groaned.)
You love chaos, don’t you?
Ren (MC)
(Ren smirked.)
Chaos and I are in a very committed relationship, actually.
?
(A new voice cut in.)
Then maybe introduce me to your MATE before he murders half the city looking for you?
Ren turned to see Luka, a fox shifter like himself, perched on the rooftop’s edge. Unlike Ren, who thrived in trouble, Luka preferred staying in the shadows, unseen. But if he was coming out, that meant things were getting serious.
Luka
(Luka crossed his arms.)
I was at the tavern when your little bonded Alpha started making demands. He’s putting his people on high alert. They’re actively searching for you, Ren.
Ren (MC)
(Ren hummed.)
Well, isn’t that sweet? Like a wolf looking for his lost pup.
Eli
(Eli rolled his eyes.)
This isn’t funny, Ren.
Ren (MC)
Oh, it is.
(Ren argued.)
You should’ve seen his face when I slipped away. The whole big bad Alpha thing really took a hit.
Luka
(Luka wasn’t laughing.)
You need to be careful. If Kieran finds out what you really are—
Ren (MC)
He won’t.
( Ren cut in smoothly.)
Because no one ever has.
And that was the truth.
Ren had spent his whole life blending in, masking his scent, his abilities, his entire existence. He had enemies, too many to count, and being a fox in a world run by wolves was dangerous. If anyone found out what he really was, it wouldn’t just be Kieran after him.
It would be everyone.
Eli
(Eli sighed.)
So, what now?
Ren (MC)
(Ren grinned, stretching.)
Now? I make him work for it.
Kieran sat in his office, fingers tapping against the wooden desk as his Beta, Silas, stood before him.
Silas
(Silas hesitated.)
We… couldn’t find anything.
Kieran
(Kieran’s eyes narrowed.)
What do you mean?
Silas
(Silas swallowed.)
I mean there’s nothing on him. No records, no past, no known affiliations. It’s like he doesn’t exist.
Kieran’s grip tightened on his glass. That wasn’t possible. Every wolf had something—a pack history, a bloodline, a scent trail. But Ren? Ren was a ghost.
Kieran’s wolf snarled.
No matter how deep Ren tried to bury himself…
Kieran would find him.
Luka Ashen
Species: Fox Shifter
Appearance: Slender and quiet, with pale skin, yellow golden eyes, and yellow -blond hair usually tied back. Always wears muted colors to blend into the shadows.
Personality: Reserved, observant, and highly cautious. Luka is the opposite of Ren when it comes to temperament—where Ren is loud and flashy, Luka prefers silence and precision. He acts as a scout and information broker within the fox shifter underground, and while he’s loyal to Ren, he constantly worries Ren’s recklessness will get them all killed.
Skills: Expert at surveillance, infiltration, and information gathering. No one hears him coming or going. He knows every secret passage, every escape route, and often acts as Ren’s behind-the-scenes backup.
Weaknesses: Struggles with confrontation and often keeps too much to himself. Has trouble trusting others outside his small circle.
Silas (Silas Vane)
Species: Wolf Shifter (Beta of the Blackmoon Pack)
Appearance: Broad-shouldered and rugged, with short-cropped chestnut hair, sharp eyes. Usually dressed in practical combat gear.
Personality: Loyal, pragmatic, and level-headed—he’s Kieran’s second-in-command and long-time friend. Silas balances Kieran’s cold dominance with a more diplomatic, rational approach. Though loyal to his Alpha, Silas is suspicious of Ren from the start and doesn’t trust how easily he slipped under their radar.
Skills: Skilled in combat, tracking, and crisis control. As Beta, he commands the loyalty of the pack and is often the one managing internal affairs when Kieran is busy breaking things (or people).
Weaknesses: His loyalty sometimes blinds him to alternative solutions. He also hates unpredictability—and Ren is nothing but unpredictable, which makes him a constant source of frustration.
