Elvira

I didn’t plan to be there.

It started with a whisper in the library, a passing reference to a confidential report about Blood Moon movements in the west sector. Callan's name was now the head of discussions for patrollers. My heart stuttered.

My instincts dragged me to the quiet corner of Pack Tower’s lower west wing, an annex that doubled as a liaison space for inter-pack relations and intelligence exchanges. It wasn’t a place I frequented. I saw the door crack before I heard the voices.

“—Still no confirmation if the Blood Moon son in-law is active, but surveillance confirms Deric Voss has met with Verya twice, once at the hotel, and again near the human border. He’s either a fool, or he’s helping her.”

My blood turned to slush. I pressed myself against the wall just outside the threshold, barely breathing. My skin prickled like it knew something my mind hadn’t caught up with.

Deric? Meeting humans? And then that name. Verya.

    Deric The gravel cracked under my boots as I walked up to Pack tower. The moon set low behind the clouds, and for the first time in years, I didn’t feel at home approaching this house, it felt worse as I stood at Jaxon’s office door. Everything I’d built, every secret I’d buried, was catching fire. I knocked once, hard. The door opened after a beat, but it wasn’t Jaxon who answered. Cassian. His eyes raked over me, and he didn’t move from the threshold. “Jaxon home?” I asked, trying to sound casual, like my entire life hadn’t been dragged through a shredder in the last forty-eight hours. Cassian leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed. “Why? So you can finish what you started?” That hit harder than I expected. So he already knows. I frowned. “What the hell does that mean?” His stare didn’t waver. “It means the council is reviewing the footage. You’ve made enemies, Deric. But the worst part? You didn’t just betray us. You betrayed him.” “I didn’t betray Jaxon,” I snapped.

    Elvira The city was unusually quiet for a Saturday afternoon. The sun set lazily above the sky, its golden hue failing to reach the growing cold that coiled in my chest. I stood across the street from the apartment complex, staring up at the third floor, at apartment number 307, the same one Rona told me when I asked him. He had asked me why I was going to see him and of course I lied that I had a package I was going to deliver personally to him. My fingers trembled around my phone. I had every intention of turning back. Of pretending I didn’t know. Of not pushing this further than it already hurt. But then the apartment door cracked open. A woman stepped out. Human. Brunette, tall, dressed in an oversized hoodie. My breath hitched. She giggled into her phone as she locked the door, and then tossed her hair, kissed her teeth, and strutted down the sidewalk like she owned the damn street. My feet moved before my brain caught up. I stormed across, fists clenched, each step echoin

    Jaxon I’ve never liked the taste of blood in my mouth, especially when I’m angry. But when I crushed the glass in my palm, I didn’t flinch. Pain was a good distraction from betrayal. I stared at the shards embedded in my skin, blood trickling between my fingers and onto the polished obsidian table in the private room of the Pack Tower. Talon flinched, but the pack detective opposite us didn’t even blink. He’d seen worse. “You sure you want me to keep going?” He asked, gesturing to the blood dripping down my wrist. “I didn’t ask for your concern,” I said, voice flat. Talon stood from the corner, grabbing a cloth and pressing it into my hand with a sigh. “You’re hurting yourself.” The detective’s lips curled just slightly, like he was trying to suppress the satisfaction of being the bearer of this chaos. “I wouldn’t be here if this wasn’t critical. Believe me, I held off on this as long as I could. But it’s gone too far.” I waved my hand, urging him on. The man reached into the

    Deric’s POV The invitation came unexpectedly, an elegant card sealed with a deep crimson wax stamp, embossed with a regal crest I recognized immediately. Lord Mathias Vale. He’d been my father’s closest confidant once, but after my father’s fall from grace, Mathias had disappeared on us, or so I thought. Why now? Why summon me? “Join me at my estate this Friday evening,” the card said, “for an exclusive gathering. There’s much to discuss.” I stared at it for a long time, fingers curling around the edges, weighing the risks. The thought of sitting across from Mathias made my gut twist, not just because of his influence but because I’d be covering for my father, stepping into a world I only half understood. Still, I couldn’t refuse. …. The estate was a big mansion perched on a hill, all sharp angles and iron gates, lit by flickering torches that threw long, sinister shadows. As I approached, the heavy oak doors swung open with a quiet creak, and a sharply dressed butler greeted me

    Elvira I barely slept that night. The relic sat heavy in my palm, it's cold metal biting against my skin. When dawn barely crept through my window, I found myself unable to hold the silence anymore. I had to tell Jaxon. I found him in the great hall, leaning against the stone archway like he was carved from it himself. His dark eyes caught mine, sharp with concern. “Jaxon,” I said, my voice trembling more than I wanted. “I need to show you something.” He straightened, knitting his brows. “Elvira? What’s going on?” I swallowed, heart pounding so loud I was sure he could hear it. “It’s about the relic. Last night, when I touched it… I saw something. I heard something.” He stepped closer, eyes narrowing, studying me like I’d suddenly become fragile glass. “Tell me,” he urged, voice low. I lifted the relic from beneath my shirt. “I had a vision. A memory, or maybe it was a warning. It was my mother’s voice, angelic, but filled with urgency. She spoke about my bloodline. About me b
