The Wolf She Never Knew

Mimzi has been laughed out of every pack gathering since she was twelve — too small, no shift, no scent, no wolf. Tonight she followed a stranger's tip to Ironveil Estate, expecting answers about her missing mother, and the second she crossed the iron gate the entire mountain went silent. Every wolf on the property stopped breathing. The Alpha came down the stairs with eyes already gold, and the word he said when he saw her was not a greeting — it was a claim. She has until dawn to decide if she runs or finally finds out what she is.
