The council hall finally emptied, leaving only the crackling fire in the hearth and Ryker’s thoughts. The war of words had ended, but the war of silence had only begun. He could still smell blood on the wind, sharp and metallic — the scent of a fight postponed, not avoided.

He rose from the table, stretching the stiffness from his shoulders. He had not slept yet, and his body was exhausted. His mind kept circling the same thought: I can’t afford to fail them. Not the Council, not the North—and never Blaise and Alora.

“Send word to the southern patrols,” Ryker ordered Vance, Alpha of the Northern Pack. “If anything changes on the border, I want to know before the wind carries it,” he said, walking out of the room. He needed sleep.

Vance nodded. “Yes, Alpha Ryker.” They were a distant cousin to our Pack, but they were well aware, in the hierarchy, Alpha Ryker was King.

When the door closed to his quarters, Ryker walked to the wide balcony overlooking the snow-laced forest. Below, torchl

  • Alora's Windsong   Chapter 155 The Witch’s Hunger

    She sat alone in the dim glow of her stone cellar, elbows braced on her knees, fingers tangled in her long black hair. The candles scattered around her pulsed in uneasy waves. Their flames jittered low, trembling as though even fire sensed her spiraling hunger.The scent of iron, blood, and charred herbs clung to the air, the fragrance of a witch who played with dangerous things for far too long.She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to control the battle going on in her mindShe had promised Thorn.She had stood face-to-face with the Dark Fae King himself, ancient, unbreakable, terrifying, and swore she would never pursue the Storm Boy again. She had meant it in that moment. The threat in Thorn’s eyes had been enough to freeze the marrow inside her bones.But the memory of the child’s magic…That was what kept ruining her.The moment Storm’s power brushed against her through the cauldron, it had slammed into her like a revelation. It was heat and sweetness and lightning wrapped together

  • Alora's Windsong   Chapter 154 New Year’s Eve 

    The packhouse glowed with warm gold lights and evergreen garlands, the bonfires crackling steadily on both ends of the field as the cold pushed hard against our pack and college flags flying high on their poles. This year, our New Year’s celebration centered around something Blaise built himself, a tower topped with a carved full moon painted silver and white. When midnight came, the moon would slide down the pole like the city ball drops, but ours was a pack tradition in the making.Families filled the packhouse with blankets, snacks, soft chatter, and lawn chairs. Sam brought three boxes of fireworks and sparklers and set them on the table beside Beth’s massive bowl of punch, which Storm had already tried to taste twice. His wolf pajamas were smeared with cookie crumbs and frosting, but he danced proudly through the crowd.Cline and Michael put the fireworks in place on a timer to go off at midnight.Blaise tightened the last bolt on the moon drop mechanism. “Alright,” he said, bru

  • Alora's Windsong   Chapter 153 Solstice of the First Light

    The night after Christmas wasn’t a Lycan night at all.It was Fae night.And tonight was Solstice of the First Light — the oldest holiday in the Dark Fae realm, the night where magic was said to breathe again after the long winter veil. Thorn, Oliver, and Kira had prepared for it all week, but for Jenna… this was her very first time stepping into a world that only existed in whispered stories.Thorn opened the shimmering portal in the den — a swirl of silver frost and soft blue fire, humming like a living heartbeat.“Stay close to me,” Oliver said gently to Jenna, sliding his fingers between hers. He glanced down at her small but noticeable bump — pride glowing in his eyes. “And do not wander. Its beauty can distract you, but the realm listens… and remembers.”Jenna nodded, breath thick with nerves and wonder.The Fae Kingdom was breathtakingly beautiful.Jenna gasped before her second foot even touched the ground. Snow fell in spirals of glowing gold. The sky above shimmered like liv

  • Alora's Windsong   Chapter 152 The Best Christmas Ever

    “I think this has been the best Christmas ever.” The words slipped out before I could stop them — soft, real, honest.I sat curled up on the sofa with a blanket around my legs, watching Sarah on the floor with Storm. Blaise had just finished snapping the last piece of the train track together, and now Storm and Sarah were lying on their stomachs, watching the trains go around in circles and making ridiculous sound effects that had Storm giggling so hard he hiccupped.Sarah tapped the roof of the engine. “Look, — choo choo!”Storm squealed. “Make it crash!” He crashed his engine gently into hers and rolled onto his back with laughter as they derailed.The room glowed from the fire. Wrapping paper was piled in mountains in the corner. Hot cocoa cups sat half-finished on the coffee table. Beth and Sam were taking photos of Storm’s train track domination, Jenna and Oliver were curled up in the oversized chair together, and Ryker and Lyra were arguing quietly about who ate the last c

  • Alora's Windsong   Chapter 151 Christmas Eve Magic

    A few weeks passed in rare quiet. No shadows. No sickness. No fear.Just winter.Just family.Christmas Eve settled over the packhouse like a soft blanket, and for once, nothing felt threatening. The den glowed with firelight, the Christmas tree twinkling in the corner — silver garland, red and green bulbs, and Storm’s uneven paper star hanging proudly at the top.All of us piled into the den: Me, Blaise, Storm, Beth, and Sam. Jenna and Oliver eventually wandered in with cocoa and more presents. Sam had come early with his gifts already wrapped, insisting he stay the night “because Christmas morning isn’t Christmas morning without chaos.”Blankets covered every lap. The lights were dim. And a Christmas movie marathon flickered across the TV.Storm curled up in my arms, warm and soft, little breaths brushing my shoulder as he drifted off. I leaned back into Blaise, his arm around me, steady and protective. Beth and Sam shared a huge blanket on the other couch, whisper-laughing thr

  • Alora's Windsong   Chapter 150 The Deal in the Dark

    “The Shadow Man… he isn’t supposed to—”“He hunts power,” Thorn snapped. “And you interfered.” He watched her try to process it all.Her heart slammed.“I didn’t kill Bram for him,” she hissed defensively.Thorn stepped closer.“You killed Bram to take control of Storm. And now the creature who manipulated the Old Witch before you, the one who promised him Storm… wants to devour you next.”Doreana swallowed.Hard. She didn't have time to think.“Help me,” she whispered, pleading.Thorn’s eyes narrowed.“On one condition.” his eyes narrowedShe didn’t even hesitate.“Deal. Whatever you want.”His voice was thunder.“You will never go after Storm again.”“No hidden agenda, no tricks,” she said quickly, in a soft whisper. She knew he was close to her door. “You have my word.”“Good.”Thorn moved faster than her eyes could follow.He lifted his hands, palms glowing. Her runes carved into the cellar walls flared awake, but they were dim. His power charged them all. Her entire mountain
