The Rogue King's Price
In our world, every alliance between a merchant house and a wolf pack is written on paper but sealed with blood. When the High Council ruled, they kept the rogue wolf packs locked outside the city walls using heavy silver chains and capital archers. Without a ruling council or a capital army to guard the perimeter, five hundred rogue wolves could claim the entire kingdom in a single night.A smart trader never enters an alliance without a back door, and Alpha Ugochukwu Obi had just closed mine.My hand rested against the silver token hanging around my neck. "You killed Simeon without giving him a chance to speak.""Simeon was a capital snake," Alpha Ugochukwu Obi said, stepping over the fresh pool of blood on the stage. "He switched sides three times in two days. A man like
The Heart of the Beast
In our world, the deep silver mines beneath the capital were built to seal away ancient monsters that human armies could never kill. Legend said the first trade lords bound the Ancient Wolf Demon inside the bedrock using a magical core made of raw blue silver. Whoever held that core held the power to raise a shadow army, but the price was terrible: it ate the blood and soul of anyone who touched it without the royal merchant blood.I looked down at the glowing blue stone inside the iron box, feeling a strange warmth radiating onto my leather boots."My father didn't just fake his death," I said, stepping toward Simeon as my mind put the dark puzzle together. "He spent five years down in the deep mines, breaking the seals so he could use that demon to destroy the High Council."
The Ghost of the Capital
In our world, the ultimate master of a trade house never dies when his name is written on an execution paper. If a master merchant accumulates enough capital gold, he can buy a dead prisoner's body from the city dungeons, bribe the executioner to switch the faces under the hood, and vanish into the shadows while his enemies celebrate his end.For five years, I had built every scheme, every trade deal, and every revenge plot around the blood of a father I thought was lying in a cold capital grave.Now, Master Harrison stood on the white granite stage right in front of me, pointing his silver sword straight at my throat.The world seemed to stop moving around me. The noise of the crowd, the crackle of the torches, and the heavy breathing of the surrounding guards vanished into
The Shadow of the Execution Square
In our world, the central execution square in the capital was built from heavy white granite so that every drop of traitor blood could be seen by the crowd below. For fifty years, the High Council had used that square to break any family that dared to question their trade laws. They had brought my father to those very stones, forcing him onto his knees before taking his life.Now, Zara Bello wanted to use the same stage to destroy everything I had built.I held the blood-stained note in my shaking fingers, reading the words over and over again until they burned into my brain. The full moon was less than thirty hours away.Tobenna knelt beside Ifeoma, binding her wounded shoulder with clean linen strips. His jaw was set tight, his dark eyes fixed on the black iron dagger I ha
The Double Trap
In our world, a trader who relies on a traitor’s word always pays with her life. The High Council taught its soldiers that loyalty was built on fear, but my father taught me that true power came from knowing your enemy's price. When Simeon offered to lead us to the black powder, I knew he was playing both sides. A man who betrays his own commander once will betray anyone to save his skin.I did not panic as the torchlights erupted all around us. I sat straight on my warhorse, holding my reins firmly.Simeon pulled his horse back toward the capital lines, a ugly grin breaking across his face. "Forgive me, Nkiru. The High Council offered me full pardon and double my old rank if I brought you and the rogue riders straight into this valley.""You sold us out again," Tobenn
The Trial of Blood and Iron
In our world, the Dead Forest was a place where strength was the only law that mattered. The High Council had built iron forts along the northern borders to keep the rogue wolf packs pinned inside the dark woods, but they could never truly control them. The rogue warriors lived by a simple rule: if you want something, you take it with a blade, or you pay for it with your life.The giant black wolf sitting near the throne took two slow steps toward me, its head lowered as a deep growl rolled from its throat.Ten feet away, Commander Simeon hung from his iron chains, his face covered in dark dirt and dried blood. His silver capital armor had been stripped away, leaving him in nothing but a torn tunic. His eyes met mine, filled with a desperate plea for help.The silver knife l
