Masuk"Yield Jessica! You know you can't defeat her!" "This is foolishness, Jess! You have to end it. Your bones are broken, and you are bleeding. If this continues, she will kill you!" They said to her through the mind-link. With her eyes glaring at her opponent, and a grin playing on her busted lips, she said the word, "Never." Everyone thought she was insane and stupid, but not him—not the Alpha of the Blackwood pack. Michael sat in his chair, staring at her. She wasn't a Warrior or a Shifter; she wasn't even an Awakened yet. He couldn't explain what was going on. He was drawn to her, and he didn't know why. Never in Jessica's life did she think a day like this would come. Being the weakest person in the Redwood Pack, she was always treated badly. From the day she was brought to the pack, she was considered a nobody. But that all changed when Alpha Michael arrived. As mysteries begin to unfold, and prophecies resurface, will things get better for Jessica, or will it all get worse?

My voice faded.I was stunned.This was bad. The sword didn't cause much damage to it like before.Jake and Chris fought back-to-back, Chris’s blade cutting through the air while Jake hurled daggers made of pure silver. They didn’t kill the wraiths, but they slowed them down, making them dissolve into mist before reforming again.“They don’t die!” Jake shouted. “Why?”“Because these are souls bound by blood magic!” Evelyn yelled, her hands glowing even brighter. “We have to break the magic holding them here — or they’ll just keep coming!”My eyes shut to her.That was new information.How did she know?One wraith darted toward her, but before it could reach her, Evelyn threw out a bolt of blue light.It struck the creature, m
Jessica's POVWe headed on our way again, through the forest.This was the second day, and hopefully, we were closer to the Redwood Pack.Crossing a line of weirdly shaped trees, my stomach twisted.That smell hit me again. But I didn't say anything about it.There was no need to spark a flame of fear in others.But the more went deeper, the more the smell grew stronger.The scent of blood thickened with every step — sharp, metallic, and cold. It clung to the air, heavy and suffocating, but there was something else beneath it — a sickly undertone — just like the one back at the Pack that led me into the woods.The smell of death.No one said a word, but from the looks of things — this time — I wasn't the only one who caught the scent.Jake, usually the first to crack a joke, was silent, his hand resting on the hilt of his blade. Chris moved like a shadow beside him, his sharp gaze flickering between the trees, every muscle in his body coiled like a spring. Evelyn's fingers glowed f
Jessica's POVI didn’t speak. I didn’t know what to say.Her voice cracked — slightly. "We didn’t know why they attacked. They came at dusk — an entire pack. We tried to fight back, but our magic…" She swallowed hard. "It was gone. Spells fizzled out of our fingertips like smoke. The elders — the same ones who could bend fire and summon storms — were left defenseless."My heart pounded. "What happened?"Evelyn's eyes darkened. "They killed everyone. Tore through the village like it was nothing. I was a child — I didn’t understand why the magic wasn’t working. I hid under a cart while the wolves ripped through the elders like they were made of paper. The trees — the same ones that once shielded us — did nothing. The rivers stopped glowing. It was like Mother Nature herself had abandoned us."The hair on my arms rose.Eric’s jaw was tight, his silence heavier than the night closing in around us.And suddenly, the air felt colder.I couldn’t shake the image from my mind — a land so conne
Jessica's POVThe silence grew wider, spreading like a fog around us.“What?” I blurted, my face instantly heating.Evelyn bit back a laugh, and Chris’s stoic expression cracked — the corner of his mouth twitching into a smirk.Jake leaned forward, clearly reveling in my discomfort. “You heard me.”I looked at Eric. He didn’t move, didn’t blink — just stared at me across the fire with an unreadable expression.My stomach flipped. “No.”Jake clutched his chest dramatically. “Aw, come on. It’s just a kiss.”I shook my head, heat creeping up my neck. “I’m not kissing him.”Jake's grin only grew. “Then you know what that means.”I blinked. “What?”Evelyn sighed. “If you refuse a dare, you get a punishment.”Jake tapped his chin in mock thought. “Let’s see… I dare you to walk to that tree.” He pointed to a tall, gnarled tree at the edge of the clearing, its trunk twisted and dark. “With your eyes closed.”I frowned. “That’s it?”Jake smirked. “Oh, you’ll love it. Just you, the dark, and wh
