The packhouse had never felt so still. It was the kind of quiet that made the skin prickle, the kind that carried more weight than noise ever could. Aria stood by the window in the Alpha’s office, her reflection ghostlike against the glass. Below, the courtyard was bathed in silver moonlight. Warriors patrolled the perimeter, their movements sharp and restless, the gleam of their eyes betraying the tension they carried. It had been days since Damien’s attack—days of endless searching, planning, and uneasy silence. And now, as if the world itself were holding its breath, Aria could feel the storm gathering again.

Kieran entered without knocking. She didn’t need to turn to know it was him; his presence filled the room long before his voice did. “You haven’t eaten,” he said softly, closing the door behind him. Aria turned just enough to meet his gaze. The shadows under his eyes were darker now, exhaustion carved into the hard lines of hi

    The dawn came too soon, bleeding soft light through the heavy curtains of Kieran’s study, but no one in the packhouse had slept. The night after Kieran’s return had been restless and tense, filled with the quiet hum of warriors preparing for something none of them dared name aloud—war.Aria stood at the long table with Rafe, Thorne, Mira, Miranda, and Victoria gathered around her. The map spread across the surface was riddled with red pins, each one marking rogue movements spotted along the northern borders. Every few minutes, another warrior came in, reported something grim, and left again, the air growing heavier with each word.Kieran sat at the head of the table, pale but alert, his jaw tight. The wounds had closed but still burned under the bandages. The silver left scars that refused to heal properly, an ugly reminder of how close he had come to dying. Yet he looked every bit the Alpha again, his authority rolling through the room like heat.

    Aria hadn’t slept in almost two days.The moon hung low and full beyond the glass doors of the Alpha suite, its light spilling across the bed where Kieran lay motionless. His breathing was steadier now—no longer shallow and ragged—but every time she closed her eyes, she saw him as he’d been in that warehouse: chained, bleeding, his skin scorched by silver.She couldn’t stop hearing the sound of her name torn from his throat.Mira had tried to make her rest. Lena and Nyah had practically dragged her toward the door earlier that evening, insisting she eat something, shower, breathe. But the moment they left, Aria found herself back here, perched on the edge of the mattress with Kieran’s hand clasped between hers.Miranda and Victoria had been working around the clock too, tending to his wounds with every healing charm and tincture they could summon. Even they looked at her differently now—less like a studen

    The air around Aria trembled like the pause before a storm breaks. Dust and ash swirled at her feet, drawn toward her as if the world itself bowed to her rage. She didn’t feel human anymore—not even witch or Luna. She was something older, something primal.The power that tore through her veins wasn’t just magic. It was fury, love, desperation, and an ancient calling rising from her bloodline. She could hear faint echoes—the voices of the Original witches whispering through her mind, urging her to rise, to claim what was hers.Damien’s smug expression faltered as the ground under them began to pulse with light, glowing veins of silver spreading out like roots from Aria’s bare feet. His rogues hesitated, caught between obedience and terror. The scent of ozone filled the air.“Aria!” Rafe’s voice was raw as he cut down another rogue. “Whatever you’re doing, do it fast!”She coul

    The night was restless.Aria stood at the balcony of the Luna’s suite, the moonlight slicing through the clouds like a silver blade, the wind biting cold against her skin. Below, the forest stretched in endless shadows, but she couldn’t see any of it. Her thoughts were a storm—raw, violent, consuming.Every second without Kieran felt like another piece of her was being stripped away. She could still feel him through their bond, faint and flickering, like a candle struggling against a storm. He was alive—but barely. And that thin thread between them pulsed with pain.Behind her, the door creaked open.“Still nothing?” Victoria’s voice was soft, hesitant. The blonde witch stepped into the room, her usual spark dimmed.Aria shook her head without turning. “No. The tether’s weaker now. Like something’s interfering.”Miranda followed close behind, a bowl of herbs in her ha

    The wind howled across the cliffs like a warning, rattling the windows of the packhouse. By dawn, Black Moon territory was alive with tension—warriors armed and ready, witches weaving protection wards at the perimeter, scouts darting through the trees with grim faces. Everyone could feel it: the threat drawing closer, thick and heavy in the air.Aria hadn’t slept. She’d spent the entire night pacing the Luna’s quarters, the faint scent of Kieran still clinging to the sheets, his voice echoing in her mind. You’re my reason. It had been less than a day since he’d left, but already, the world felt off-kilter without him.Downstairs, the pack’s war room buzzed with quiet chaos. Maps, weapons, and scent trackers covered every surface. Rafe stood near the main table, barking orders into his earpiece while Thorne adjusted the layout of the sentry positions. Both men looked exhausted—dark circles under their eyes, should
