Chapter 12: Between Three Wolves

The forest beyond Moon Shadow Pack felt different at night.

Silver had walked these woods many times before, but never like this—never as someone leaving home behind.

The pack clearing disappeared slowly behind them as they moved deeper into the trees. The path ahead was lit only by moonlight filtering through the thick canopy.

Kyrian walked in front.

His pace was steady and purposeful, his posture straight and controlled as he led the way toward Silent Hill territory.

Behind him walked Silver.

And behind her were the other two Alphas.

Kael and Kairo.

Silver could feel them.

Not just their footsteps.

Their presence.

Their wolves.

The bond between them pulsed constantly now, like a quiet rhythm beneath her skin.

Every time Kael moved closer, warmth surged through the bond—wild and restless.

Every time Kairo’s attention shifted toward her, the bond felt calm, steady, observant.

And when Kyrian glanced back at her from the front of the path…

The bond tightened.

Sharp.

Commanding.

Silver exhaled slowly.

“This is strange,” she murmured.

Kael chuckled softly behind her.

“That’s one way to put it.”

He stepped closer to her side, his movements restless, almost impatient.

“You feel it too, don’t you?”

Silver nodded slightly.

“It feels like… I’m connected to all of you.”

“That’s because you are,” Kael said bluntly.

Ahead of them, Kyrian stopped walking.

The sudden halt made the others pause.

He turned slowly, golden eyes sharp in the dim light.

“We need to establish something now,” he said calmly.

The air immediately grew tense.

Kairo folded his arms slightly, already sensing where the conversation was going.

Kael sighed.

“Here we go.”

Kyrian’s gaze moved between his brothers.

“The Moon bound us to her,” he said.

His eyes flicked briefly to Silver.

“But that does not mean we forget who we are.”

The words were calm.

Controlled.

But the meaning beneath them was unmistakable.

Kael crossed his arms.

“You’re saying you don’t like sharing.”

Kyrian’s expression didn’t change.

“I am saying we proceed carefully.”

Kairo finally stepped forward.

His tone was calmer than the others.

“We all felt it,” he said quietly. “The bond isn’t something we can fight.”

Silver’s heart beat faster.

They were talking about her like she wasn’t there.

But at the same time…

She could feel their wolves reacting through the bond.

Kael’s wolf paced restlessly.

Kyrian’s presence felt controlled but intense.

Kairo’s energy was thoughtful, balanced.

“This doesn’t make sense,” Silver said softly.

Three sets of eyes turned toward her.

“How can the Moon bind three Alphas to one person?”

Kairo answered first.

“Prophecies sometimes work that way.”

Kyrian didn’t look convinced.

Kael just looked frustrated.

None of them liked the situation.

But none of them could deny the bond either.

Silver rubbed her arms slightly as a strange chill moved through the forest.

The wind shifted suddenly.

Leaves rustled around them.

Then the bond pulsed.

Hard.

Silver stopped walking.

“Did you feel that?”

Kyrian’s head snapped up immediately.

“Yes.”

Kael’s expression darkened.

“Something’s watching us.”

Kairo scanned the forest carefully.

The trees around them seemed darker now.

Too quiet.

Too still.

Silver’s necklace suddenly warmed against her chest.

A faint silver glow spread across the pendant.

Kyrian’s voice dropped low.

“Stay close.”

Kael stepped immediately to Silver’s side.

Kairo moved behind them.

Three Alphas.

Instinctively forming a protective triangle around her.

The forest held its breath.

And somewhere deep within the darkness…

Something ancient stirred.

Watching.

Waiting.

Because the Luna of the Silver Moon had finally awakened.

And the world was about to feel it.
