With Amiko and Yukio in danger, Kia takes them to safety and forces Wolverine to defend her as she prepares to face Haan head-on.
Wolverine is caught in a deadly game of loyalty and betrayal as he escorts Kia to a fateful meeting with her brother Haan, only to be framed for his murder.

In "Manhunt," Wolverine pulls a young Amiko Kobayashi from the clutches of Yakuza boss Shinji Kizaki and the relentless hunter-killer Maximillian Zaran. With Amiko in tow, Wolverine fights to stay one step ahead as Kizaki swears to uncover every secret about him—then destroy him.
In "The Hill," Rose arrives at the isolated Howlett estate to care for the sickly young James, a boy caught between a merry father, a troubled mother, and a harsh grandfather. With James and his loyal dog—son of the estate’s drunken groundskeeper, Thomas Logan—Rose finds an unlikely family in the quiet chaos of the estate, forging bonds that bloom amid secrets and shadows.
In a tense moment on the Howlett estate, a young James Howlett is caught between loyalty to his family and the growing threat of violence as his father’s actions spiral out of control.

In a harsh Canadian mining camp, a young James Howlett endures daily torment from the camp’s cook, Cookie Malone, while finding quiet refuge in the company of Rose.

When the abuse reaches a breaking point, Logan flees into the wilderness—only to face a far more dangerous threat than the cook ever was.
In the rugged isolation of a 19th-century quarry, Logan struggles to balance his human duties with the wild instincts that pull him toward the night. When a sabotage by the camp cook, Cookie, triggers a deadly cave-in, Logan must confront both his enemies and the growing tension between his loyalty to the camp and the truth of his past. As secrets unravel and a long-lost dog sets out on a final journey, Logan finds himself caught between the man he’s become and the beast he can’t escape.
