A Nerd for the Hockey Alpha Captain Chapter 63: The Core
"You don't just unmake Viktor," Nia said. "You unmake the Moon itself."The room went dead silent.Even the little ones stopped breathing.Kai was still holding me and Elara and Sparrow and Pip all at once, his arms like a cage around us, his gold eyes locked on the sleeping man on the cellar steps. The man — The First — was breathing so slowly I thought he'd stopped three times."What do you mean unmake the Moon?" Maya asked. She pushed forward, Luna right behind her. Maya hadn't slept since the crater. Her eyes were red. "You mean the actual moon? In the sky?"Nia didn't look away from the bone in my hand. It was warm. Too warm. And it was still humming that sad lullaby, but only Elara and I could hear it. Elara had her hands over her ears now."I mean the magic," Nia said quietly. "All of it. White, black, grey. Packs. Marks. Wolves who shift. Girls who heal. Boys who run fast. The songs we sing to call the pack. All of it came from her." She pointed to the bone. "The First White.
A Nerd for the Hockey Alpha Captain Chapter 62: The Lullaby
Someone was humming a lullaby inside PackHouse.The same lullaby Maya used to sing in the dark box when Viktor would turn the lights off for days.Hush now, little moonClose your little eyesHe can't find you in the darkIf you don't make a sound.My blood went cold.Elara clutched my hand tighter. Her white mark with the black ring was flickering like a candle in wind. "That's... that's her voice. Maya's voice. But she's still in the forest. She didn't come with us.""I know," I whispered.The grey light that had carried us here was gone. It dumped us in the yard and vanished, like it had done its job. Behind us, the forest was silent. No wolves crashing through yet. No Kai. We were alone. Twenty minutes ahead of everyone.The front door of PackHouse was open. Just an inch. Darkness spilling out. PackHouse was never dark. Nia always left the kitchen lantern on. Always."Pack check?" Elara whispered, doing the call we all did at night. One tap on the doorframe, two on the floor.No a

The grey beam didn't disappear.The black one had been violent, drinking light. The white ones were warm. This one... this one was just there. Still. Like a scar in the sky that wasn't bleeding or healing. Just watching."Don't look at it," Elder Nia whispered. She grabbed my wrist, her fingers digging into my new mark. Half white, half black. It pulsed against her palm, grey. "Do not let it see you. If it's The First, if he can see through it—"Kai pulled me behind him, Elara still tucked under his other arm. Elara was staring at the grey beam, her new white mark with its tiny black ring flaring."It's calling me," she whispered. She didn't sound scared. She sounded confused, like hearing a song she almost knew. "Not like the Priest did. Softer. Like... 'come home, little sister.'"Aria stepped in front of her instantly, still weak, still leaning on Luna. "No. No more 'come home.' No one comes home to anyone. We go home. To PackHouse."The wolves were growling, but not at the beam no

Elara's scream wasn't sound anymore. It was light breaking.The black tendrils from the altar stone had wrapped up to her knees, her waist. Where they touched, her skin smoked — not burning, but unmaking. Her white moon mark on her forehead was flickering, white to black, white to black, like a lightbulb someone was trying to strangle."ELARA!" Aria ripped herself off Vex and started running down the hill before anyone could stop her.The Priest on the hill turned his head. Just slightly.The air cracked.Aria flew back ten feet like she'd been hit by an invisible truck, landing hard in the dirt. She didn't get up."LUNA! STAY WITH HER!" I screamed at Number 2, and I was already sliding down the ridge, Kai right behind me, the wolves pouring around us like water breaking a dam.Elder Nia slammed her staff down. "SHIELD!"A dome of white light snapped over us, over Aria and Luna and Number 2. It held for half a second — then the black beam from the altar slammed into it and shattered i
A Nerd for the Hockey Alpha Captain Chapter 59: BlackRidge
We didn't walk back to the PackHouse. We were carried.The Blackridge wolves that had opened their eyes in the dark — over a hundred scouts — formed a circle around us. Not attacking. Guarding. When they saw Kai carrying me and Elara in one arm, Luna on his back, they bowed their heads.The walk through the forest was silent except for Elara's small, exhausted breathing against my chest. She had fallen asleep the moment the white light faded from the altar, her little hand fisted in my shirt like Luna used to do."She's cold," I whispered.Kai pulled his jacket — his Blackridge varsity jacket that still smelled like hockey tape and Alpha — around both of us. "PackHouse is warm. Nia has the fire going."Elder Nia was walking ahead with Number 2 and Aria, her staff lighting the path. Vex was behind us, carrying Number 1.Yes, carrying him. Kai had knocked him out with one punch after he said "He will come for them." But Nia said we couldn't kill him. Number 1 was the first — he knew whe
A Nerd for the Hockey Alpha Captain Chapter 58: Baptism
"ELARA!"Aria's scream ripped through the trees and the wolves answered it with a snarl so loud birds exploded out of the canopy for miles.The Priest didn't flinch. He just kept his arms raised, and the black beam got brighter, thicker, like tar pouring from the sky directly into the little girl on the stone.Elara — Number 8 — wasn't screaming out loud anymore. Her mouth was open, but no sound came out. Her small body was bowing off the altar, her spine bent at an impossible angle. The white moon mark on her forehead was fighting. I could see it. White light pulsing, pushing back the black tendrils that were trying to sink into her skin like leeches. She was strong. For 10 years old, she was so strong."Stop! You're killing her!" I screamed, thrashing in Kai's arms. "Kai, put me down!"Kai set me down but didn't let go of my hand. His claws were out. "Nia, what do we do? If we break the circle—""If we break the circle wrong, the backlash will kill the child instantly," Elder Nia sa
