The chant washed over her like warm rain.

Laura! Laura! Laura!

Her legs shook, not from fear anymore but from pure shock. These people, who minutes ago had mocked her, laughed at her were now cheering for her.

Her heart pounded against her ribs. She tried to catch her breath, feeling dizzy from the sudden change.

"I can't believe it," someone whispered nearby. "She actually won."

"Did you see how she moved?" another voice added. "Never seen anyone fight like that."

She closed her eyes for a moment, letting it all sink in. The pain. The victory. The realization that she had found something she thought was lost forever.

Herself.

Her split lip stung. Her ribs screamed with every breath. But none of that mattered now. For the first time in forever, she felt alive. Real.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw Garrick staring up at her, confusion and something else, maybe respect, in his gaze.

"How?" he asked again, voice rough. A thin line of blood trickled from the corner of h

    Voices drifted through the fog in Laura's mind. Deep, familiar voices that made her heart clench with recognition."—power surge was unlike anything I've seen," Zephyr was saying, his tone clinical but worried. "The mark responded to her emotions, but this was beyond what the texts described.""She could have hurt someone," Lucian's gruff voice cut in. "Hell, she could have hurt herself.""But she didn't," Dante's voice was closer, rougher with concern. "She pulled back at the last second. That takes incredible control.""Control?" Nikolai sounded skeptical. "She collapsed, Dante. That's not control."Laura's eyelids felt heavy, but she forced them open. The first thing she saw was Dante's face hovering above her, golden eyes dark with worry. Relief flooded his features when he saw her looking back at him."There she is," he murmured, his hand brushing a strand of hair from her face. "How do you feel?"Laura tried to sit up, but her head spun. Dante's strong hands steadied her, helpin

    Laura turned to find him smirking down at her, his golden eyes dancing with mischief. Her traitorous heart skipped at his closeness, mind flashing to her dream—his hands on her hips, lips on her neck."I can choose my own weapons," she managed to say, stepping back to put space between them.Dante's smirk widened. "Sure you can, sweetheart. But I know what works best with your fighting style." He selected a different sword, slightly heavier, and offered it to her. "This one suits your strength."Their fingers brushed as she took it from him, and she refused to acknowledge the warmth that shot up her arm at the contact."Thanks," she muttered, testing the weight. He was right, of course. The balance felt perfect."I'll be overseeing combat training today," Dante announced, not just to her but to the gathering warriors. "We move out tomorrow, and I want everyone battle-ready."A chorus of acknowledgments rang out as fighters paired off. Laura turned toward Kera, intending to spar with h

    Zephyr's tent was larger than Laura expected, lined with furs and lit by lanterns that cast dancing shadows across the canvas walls. The Alpha himself stood over a small table covered with ancient-looking papers and leather-bound journals.He looked up when she entered, his cool eyes warming slightly at the sight of her."Laura," he acknowledged with a nod. "Thank you for coming.""Your messenger said you wanted to discuss the family records?" Laura kept her voice steady despite the unease still lingering from her confrontation with Selena.Zephyr gestured for her to approach. "I found something that might interest you." His fingers, always so precise in their movements, traced over a yellowed page. "My great-grandfather wrote about a woman marked by the Moon Goddess."Laura's heart skipped. "The first woman with the primordial mark?""Perhaps." He watched her closely as she moved beside him to see the journal. "The markings described here are different, but the power sounds similar."

    Laura felt a swell of pride watching them. These powerful men, each used to commanding and never following, were creating something stronger together than any could achieve alone.Her gaze met Lucian's across the table, and for a moment, she was thrown back into her dream—his hands pinning her wrists, his mouth demanding on hers. She quickly looked away, only to meet the dammed Dante's curious stare."You okay there, sweetheart?" he asked. "You're looking a bit... flushed.""I'm fine," she said, perhaps too firmly. "Just... impressed with the planning."Nikolai's chuckle told her he wasn't fooled. "Planning does tend to get the blood pumping," he said with a smirk.Laura shot him a glare, which only made his smirk widen."What role do I play in all this?" she asked, desperate to change the subject.The four Alphas exchanged glances."You'll be with the healers," Lucian said finally. "Your mark seems to have healing properties—we saw that with the wounded during the journey here."Laur

    Laura moaned softly as Lucian's rough hands pinned her wrists above her head. His hot breath tickled her ear as he pressed her against the tent wall, his muscled body hard against hers."I saw you watching us fight," he growled, his voice deep and primal. "Did you like what you saw?"Before she could answer, she felt another presence behind her and Dante's familiar scent washed over her as his hands found her hips."Of course she did," Dante purred, his lips brushing the sensitive skin of her neck, making her shiver in pleasure. "Our little Luna gets excited watching her Alphas in battle."Laura's breath caught in her throat as Lucian's mouth claimed hers in a rough and bruising kiss. His tongue demanded entrance, and she gave it willingly, her body melting against him as Dante's teeth grazed her shoulder.She was in euphoria!"Please," she whispered when Lucian finally broke the kiss.Lucian's eyes darkened with hunger. "Please what, little one?""I need..." She couldn't finish the t

    The silence in the tent was heavy as everyone stared at Zephyr. Laura could almost feel the weight of his revelation pressing down on all of them."What do you mean by family curse?" Dante asked, his voice unusually gentle. "I've heard rumors, but..."Zephyr's jaw tightened. His eyes darted to Laura before fixing on some distant point. "The Duskbane bloodline has been... tainted for generations by my first ancestor. It is a darkness that whispers in our minds. That tries to take control."Laura stepped closer to him, drawn by the pain in his voice."I've know all about the curse from Nikolai. Is that why you zone out sometimes?"A flicker of surprise crossed Zephyr's face. He nodded slowly. "Most of my ancestors went mad by their fortieth year. The voices get louder. The urge to give in grows stronger.""And what happens if you give in?" Dante asked, all traces of his earlier teasing gone."Power," Zephyr said simply. "Terrible power. My great-grandfather surrendered to it. Half his pa
