Jean’s POV

“Miss Jean, if you could have any power in the world, what would it be?”

Wayne’s question came out of nowhere, his hand shooting up before I’d even asked one.

Dexter and Nia giggled as I turned from the board to face him. He was leaning forward on his desk, eyes bright with a wild curiosity children possessed.

They told me they watched a super hero movie the previous day after lessons, so I'm assuming it was inspired from there.

“I already have a power,” I teased, resting the marker on the table. “The power to make you all do your arithmetic homework without complaint.”

Laughter rippled through the room.

“No, like seriously,” Wayne insisted. “Like real power. Flying, or super strength, or turning invisible, or something as cool as reading minds.”

I pretended to think deeply. “Hmm. Reading minds might be too noisy. Flying sounds cold. Maybe… healing.”

“Healing?” Nia asked, tilting her head.

“Yes,” I said softly. “Imagine if you could touch someone who was hurt, and just take

    Danny’s POVThe rain came slow at first, thin drops that barely touched the ground before vanishing into the dust. I stood in the courtyard, watching the young ones spar in the open field. Their laughter echoed against the low growl of thunder rolling in the distance.Wayne swung a wooden stick at Dexter, who ducked a little too late, taking the hit to his shoulder. He yelped and stumbled back, rubbing the spot while Nia burst out laughing.“That’s what you get for showing off,” she teased.“Not fair!” Dexter complained. “She distracted me!”“You blinked,” I said, stepping forward, keeping my arms folded. “Distraction doesn’t make your eyes close. Poor defense does.”Wayne grinned, proud of himself. “Then I win?”“Not until you can do that without turning your back,” I replied, adjusting his stance. “You left your right side open. A real opponent would’ve had you down before you even knew what hit you.”Wayne pouted. “You make it sound easy.”“It’s not,” I said, my tone softening. “T

    Lexi’s POV “Manny, we need to talk now.”His head lifted from the papers he was looking at on his desk, surprise flashing across his tired face. “Lexi? What are you…”“No time,” I cut in, closing the door behind me. “Something’s coming.”He blinked, the confusion on his face shifting into alertness. The scent of ink and old parchment filled the air between us, thick and dry. He leaned back slightly, wary. “What do you mean, something’s coming?”“Jax just called,” I said, crossing the room to him. “He said scouts spotted royal banners, wolves from the Alpha King’s army, on the southern ridge. They’re moving down toward Red Fang territory.”For a moment, Manny said nothing. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his hand tightened on the armrest of his chair. The room was quiet except for the faint ticking of the clock on the wall. Then, without warning, he pushed himself up, bracing on his desk for support.“Uhhh, I received a letter,” he muttered, voice low. “Earlier this morning. It said

    Jax’s POV“Ughh…” I grunted as the sun reflected into my eyes, stinging me terribly, but I overcame the heat and kept on with what I was doing. The hammer hits the nail with a satisfying thunk. The sound echoed across the open yard, mixing with the laughter of pups playing near the training field. The scent of paint, sweat, and freshly cut grass filled the air. Danny balances on the other side of the fence, smirking at me like he was waiting for me to mess something up.“Bro, you are holding that brush like it’s a sword,” he said, wiping his forehead with the back of his hand.I glanced up from the plank I was repainting and arched a brow. “And what if I am? Maybe this fence needs a warrior’s touch.”Danny snorts. “A warrior who can’t paint straight lines? I know what sort of man you are. Hehehe.”I looked down. The streak of white I had just applied looked more like a wave than a clean edge. I grumbled. “You know, it adds character.”He laughed, shaking his head. “Sure, tell that

    Sophia’s POVI honestly never thought silence could be this loud. Every corridor I walked through echoes back pieces of who I used to be, Sophia, the Luna of this pack, mother of the Alpha, the proud matriarch, the one who commanded fear instead of earning respect. Now all that was left was the whispers of my footsteps and the ghosts of my own making. I kind of feel like I caused my downfall, but no one really loves taking the blame for certain things, especially this. The packhouse now felt… foreign. It was not that the walls had changed or anything, but the way people looked at me has. Once, heads bowed whenever I passed. Now, eyes shift away. They do not spit my name or curse me anymore, that would have been easier. It was the quiet that hurt more, the kind that says we see you, but we no longer care to know you.Danny didn’t come around anymore. I kept telling myself it was because he had found a way to finally fit into the pack, and he was busy with Manny, and some other warr

    Lexi’s POVThe drive back was quiet, yet the silence didn’t sit between us like it used to. It wasn’t heavy or awkward, just... peaceful. He requested to drive and though I was concerned I let him do it. Manny’s hand rested loosely on the steering wheel, his gaze focused ahead, his expression soft. There was something different about him now, something steady, like the storm inside him had finally begun to calm.But even in that peace, my chest felt unsettled. My thoughts kept drifting, tugging at something I couldn’t quite name.Maybe it was the memory of Serena. Maybe it was guilt that she sacrificed herself for us and never got to see what we’d become. Or maybe it was something far more complicated, the feeling that everything was about to change again.“Manny,” I said finally, my voice low but firm.He glanced at me briefly. “Hmm?”“Can we stop by Serena’s grave before heading home?”He didn’t hesitate. “Of course.”I gave a small nod. I hadn’t visited it since. I’d been so cau

    Manny’s POVI had barely been sleeping now. Every time I closed my eyes, faces of those I’d failed came crawling out of the dark. My father’s grave had been calling me all week, quietly, insistently. I finally gave in. Maybe I needed to hear the silence there to make sense of everything.I dressed slowly, slipping on my jacket and reaching for the cane propped against the wall. The limp was worse in the mornings, a constant reminder of how much had been lost, and how much still ached to heal.When I turned, Lexi was by the doorway, her hair still damp from her shower, she had a tray in her hand and I knew it was for me, but I wasn't exactly hungry now. “You’re heading out?” she asked.I nodded, my voice low. “Yes, need to see my father.”Her gaze flickered with understanding. “Should I come with you?”For a moment, I wanted to tell her no. I didn’t want her seeing me that way, broken and bleeding on the inside, talking to a grave as if it could talk back. But instead, I surprised mys
