I slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. The sterile white walls and soft beeping of medical equipment greeted me. A warm, gentle light streamed through the window, casting a comforting glow over the room.

The scent of antiseptic and fresh linens filled my nostrils, familiar yet foreign. This pack's infirmary felt unusual, bigger, different, sophisticated. I was in a private room?

I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over me, forcing me to lie back down. My head was pounding, my ears ringing, my throat parched. My whole body felt like I'd been dragged down the stairs of a 17 story building. A soft murmur of voices caught my attention. Ryder was speaking to a man in a white coat, probably in his mid fifties, his face etched with concern.

"Aria, thank goodness you're awake," Ryder half yelled, half whispered, his voice filled with relief as he sat by my bed.

The doctor's eyes locked onto mine, a neutral expression on his face. "Aria, how do you feel?"

    "Wait!" Mira's urgent voice stopped me before I could begin the ritual. "You can't just start reading – there are preparation steps. Specific positions, protective circles, timing sequences.""If we do this wrong, the backlash could kill everyone within a mile radius.""How long to set up properly?" Kael asked, his Alpha authority already coordinating defenders as the Shadowed Knights' assault intensified."At least fifteen minutes to do it safely," Mira said, her young face tight with stress. "And that's if we have no interruptions.""We don't have fifteen minutes," Axel called out. "The enemy will breach our inner perimeter in less than ten.""Then we do it in ten," I said, but Mira grabbed my arm with surprising strength."Aria, listen to me. My parents died protecting this knowledge – not just the book, but the understanding of how to use it safely.""They spent years studying ancient rituals, learning the proper techniques." Her brown eyes were fierce with determination and

    The lull in battle gave us barely enough time to regroup before Mira appeared, running toward us with desperate urgency and something clutched against her chest."I found it!" She gasped, skidding to a halt in front of where Kael and I stood coordinating defenses. "The sealed book my parents died trying to protect. It was hidden in the old archives – I've been searching for months and it was there the whole time!"She thrust the ancient tome into my hands, and I felt power pulse through the leather binding the moment my fingers made contact. The book itself was responding to me, recognizing my bloodline, my newly integrated abilities."What is it?" Kael asked, his protective instincts immediately activated by the magical signature radiating from the artifact."It's the Codex Lunaris," Mira explained breathlessly, her historian's excitement barely contained despite our dire circumstances. "The original text documenting the splitting of supernatural society into Lumina and Umbra f

    The champion's approach was cut short by an unexpected intervention."You'll have to get through us first," Stephan said, materializing between the corrupted behemoth and our position with vampire speed. Behind him, Elena and three other vampires from the Old Blood Houses formed a defensive line."The vampires stand with the Moon's Child," Elena declared, her starlight eyes blazing with determination."As do the Spirit Walkers," Kanaq added, appearing with his fellow skinwalkers. Spiritual energy crackled around them, creating wards that pushed back against the corruption radiating from the enemy champion."The Fire Courts protect their own," Zephyr announced, her phoenix flames erupting to create another barrier between me and the threat.I watched in amazement as supernatural beings from different factions – beings who'd maintained careful political distance until now – stepped forward to defend me. Not because of prophecy or political obligation, but because they'd chosen to

    The Shadowed Knights poured through the breached inner perimeter like a dark tide, their corrupted supernatural energies making the air itself feel tainted. But this time, I didn't cower behind protective circles. This time, I stood and faced them. "Aria, wait—" Kael started, but I was already moving forward, newly integrated power flowing through me with purpose. The first wave of attackers hit our defensive line, and I raised my hands instinctively. Silver light exploded outward, but this time it was controlled, precise, targeted. The Lumina healing energy washed over our defenders, closing wounds and restoring stamina, while simultaneously burning through the corruption magic that clung to the attacking forces. Corrupted vampires screamed as the cleansing power stripped away the dark bindings controlling them. Several collapsed, freed from the Shadowed Knights' influence but too disoriented to continue fighting. "She can purify corruption," Morgana breathed with pro

    The explosion of power that came with shattering the suppression spell should have felt like freedom. Instead, it felt like I was being torn apart from the inside. Every suppressed ability, every bound power, every locked-away piece of my nature surged forward simultaneously. Lumina healing energy mixed with Umbra shadow manipulation, fire magic collided with ice abilities I hadn't known I possessed, and underneath it all, the primordial force that predated all supernatural divisions roared through my system like a tidal wave. I screamed, falling to my knees as my body tried to contain power it had never been designed to hold all at once. 'Too much,' my wolf whimpered, her presence retreating in the face of overwhelming energy. 'Too much, too fast.' "Aria!" Kael's voice cut through the chaos, his strong arms wrapping around me as I convulsed with uncontrolled power. "Stay with me. You can do this." But I wasn't sure I could. The energy was burning through me like acid,

    The moment I began reaching for my suppressed power, everything seemed to happen at once. "Breach at the northern perimeter!" Thane's mental warning came through Morgana's telepathic link. "They're pushing hard, using corruption magic to weaken our wards." "Southern defensive line is holding, but barely," Axel's voice crackled through the communication devices. "They've brought those howl suppressors online. Our wolf coordination is compromised." I tried to focus on the breakthrough, on reaching past the barriers to where my full power waited, but the sounds of battle kept pulling my attention away. Every scream, every howl of pain, every sign that my people were being hurt defending me made it harder to concentrate. "Stay focused," Morgana urged from her position maintaining the inner protective circle. "The spell is beginning to fracture, but you need to keep pushing." I reached deeper, feeling silver light begin to pour from my skin as Lumina energy responded to my call
