"We move now, or we don’t move at all," I whispered, the words barely catching the wind.
The forest around the Crystal Lake border felt like a living thing, watching us. Every leaf under my boots was a potential alarm. I kept my breathing shallow, my lungs burning with the scent of damp earth and the chemical sting of the diffusers we had sprayed on our gear. Beside me, Lindsie was a shadow among shadows. He didn't make a sound. He didn't even seem to d

Alanza’s POV"Alanza, I really don't think this is a smart move." Luciano sounds like he is vibrating through the phone. I can picture him pacing his office, jaw tight, probably crushing the life out of a stress ball or the edge of his desk."It doesn't matter what you think, because I am going." I cringe as soon as the words leave my mouth. I sound like a child throwing a tantrum. Standing up for myself is a new muscle I am trying to flex, but right now, it just feels like I am playing dress-up as a rebellious teenager.I never actually had a rebellious phase. My sister, Jimena, handled enough of that for both of us. I remember her constant whining about how Mom and Dad were ruining her life with their rules. They just wanted her to stop dating a new boy every week and focus on her future mate pairing. She eventually grew out of it. Maybe it is finally my turn to be difficult."Alanza, please listen to me.""No." I cut him off before he can

Alanza’s POV"A candle in the dark is only useful if you know where the matches are," I mutter, staring at the screen until the light fades.The text is a cold weight in my palm. Lucia is practically hanging off my shoulder, her breath warm against my ear as she tries to squint at the display."What candle?" she asks. Her brow furrows in that way it does when she knows she is missing a piece of a puzzle.I haven't told her yet. I haven't mentioned what Sister Loreen whispered to me before I left. Only Sombra knows the truth of those parting words. I catch Lucia’s eye and give a sharp, tiny shake of my head. My thumb slides over the power button, and I shove the device deep into my pocket just as Karlos rounds the corner of the training building.He looks like a storm cloud in a tactical vest. He doesn't even wait for us to speak before he starts shaking his head."The answer is no," Karlos says. His voice is flat and final.

Alanza’s POV"You actually think you can hide behind that guard forever?"The words from my sparring partner are a low growl, barely audible over the scuff of bare feet on the mats. I don't answer. I can't. My lungs are burning, and my focus is pinned on the way his shoulders shift. Easier said than done, I tell myself. I need to stop overthinking and let my instincts take the lead.He lunges. I slip to the left, feeling the rush of air as a heavy right hook whistles past my ear. There is the gap. It is a classic opening, maybe even a lure, but I don't have time to second guess. I dive inside his reach. My elbow finds the soft spot of his solar plexus with a sickening thud.He double folds, a pained grunt escaping his lips. I don't give him a chance to recover. I snag his lead arm, plant my feet, and pivot hard. Using his own forward weight against him, I toss him over my hip. He hits the padded floor with a heavy slap, the air leaving his lungs in

Alanza’s POV"Don't let them see you flinch," Lucia whispered, her voice barely audible over the hum of the gym ventilation.I gave a tight nod, though my pulse felt like a trapped bird beating against my ribs. We followed Amara deeper into the training floor, passing clusters of shifters who didn't even try to hide their stares. Their eyes tracked us with a heavy, judgmental weight that made the back of my neck prickle. Every insecurity I had spent weeks burying bubbled right back to the surface.I wondered if they smelled the Crystal Lake scent on me and hated me for it. Maybe they were disgusted by a wolf who couldn't even shift. Or perhaps the rumors about my arrival had already poisoned the well. I kept my jaw set and my eyes forward, refusing to give them the satisfaction of seeing me crumble.Inside my head, Sombra let out a bored huff. She didn't care about the opinions of the pack. To her, everyone besides us was background noise. She wasn't even

Alanza’s POV"Try to get some rest, Alanza. You're pushing yourself too hard," Luciano said.His voice sounded lower through the phone, vibrating with a weight that made our late-night talk feel almost like a secret. We weren't saying anything inappropriate, but the darkness of my bedroom and the gravelly pull of his tone made my skin prickle. That strange, fated tether between us hummed in the base of my stomach.I looked over at the shadows. Lucia was out cold in her bed, and I knew Karlos was likely sprawled across the living room sofa. He had made himself a permanent fixture in our suite, guarding the door every single night."I’m doing fine," I whispered, keeping my voice thin so I wouldn't wake anyone."I miss you," he admitted. He sounded drained, like he was carrying the weight of the entire world on his shoulders.Karlos mentioned earlier that Luciano was still out there, hunting for any trace of my family. I leaned my h

Luciano’s POV"I need a status report on the eastern border, and I need it now," I barked.Staring at the phone in my hand felt like a weakness, but I could not look away. Karlos had sent another photo of Alanza. In the image, she looked worn out. Her cheeks were flushed from a workout, and stray hairs stuck to her forehead with sweat. She was not wearing her glasses. She had stopped using them two days after leaving the hospital, claiming they made her world look like a smear of colors.Libbie and Dr. Lexy were convinced this was the first real sign of her wolf waking up. Improving eyesight was a classic symptom. I should have been thrilled. Most of our kind would view a late awakening as a miracle from the Goddess. Instead, Alanza treated the news like a weather report she did not care to read. She asked zero questions. She just existed.Dr. Lexy called it a trauma response. He thought her mind was blocking the change because of the hell she survi

Alanza’s POV"Remember what you actually need, Alanza," Sombra warns, her voice sounding like a fading echo in the back of my mind.I try to hang onto her words, but focus is impossible with Luciano kissing me. He holds me like I am the only fixed point in his universe. His pa

Alanza’s POV"You aren't going to win this, Luciano, so you might as well stop pacing before you wear a hole in the floor," Lucia said.She stood with her arms locked over her chest. Her chin was tilted up in that stubborn way I knew so well. She did not look like she was stan

Alanza’s POV"I need you to listen to me for once," Luciano says, his voice dropping into that low, command-heavy register that usually makes people jump to obey.He is standing by the foot of my hospital bed, looking like he hasn't slept in a week. I want to lean into him. I

Alanza’s POV"Alanza, you have to wake up."The voice was a thin thread in a sea of ink. I tried to grab it, but the darkness was heavy, like cold water filling my lungs. Everything felt distant. There was a rhythmic, mechanical clicking somewhere to my left. A dull heat pulse
