THE SECRET BENEATH BLOOD MOON

The council hall erupted into chaos.

"Three days?"

"That's impossible!"

"Gray Ridge fell less than a week ago!"

"How many wolves does he have left?"

Questions flew from every direction as the wounded scout was carried toward the healer's quarters.

Chris remained motionless, he stood watching the chaos that unfolded in camp. Anna stood beside him, her pulse refusing to slow down.

Draven was only three days away. The reality of it settled heavily over the room.

    THE SISTER HE NEVER SPOKE OFThe silence inside the healer's cabin felt suffocating. Steve's words seemed to hang in the air long after he spoke them."She's my sister."Anna blinked hard. Even Carlyn looked stunned.Nobody knew Steve had a sister.In all the time Anna had lived among the Blood Moon Pack, she had never once heard him mention family. Not parents or siblings. Not anyone.The Beta rubbed a hand over his face like he regretted speaking. As though he'd spent years making sure this conversation never happened."Steve," Chris said carefully. "You have a sister?"A humorless laugh escaped him. "Apparently."That wasn't an answer. Chris folded his arms against his chest."Start talking." The Alpha voice had returned, firm and commanding.Steve looked toward the unconscious woman lying on the bed. For several moments, he said nothing."Her name is Maya." Steve sighed.Anna glanced toward the woman. Maya.The name somehow suited her. She looked peaceful despite the cuts covering

    THE BETA'S BURDEN The words seemed burned into Chris's mind.Beware the wolf closest to your son.The journal lay open on the desk between him and Anna, its aged pages illuminated by the dim lantern light. Neither had spoken for nearly a minute.Outside, the wind rattled against the old building's windows.Inside, silence pressed heavily around them. Chris stared at the final entry again. As if reading it enough times might somehow change the words.Anna watched him carefully. She could feel his emotions through the mate bond. He was confused and fear clouded his thoughts. She felt the doubt that lingered, not toward Steve but toward everything.If his father had truly known about the Moonborn bloodline, what else had he hidden?"What are you thinking?"Chris finally looked up. His expression was troubled."I'm thinking my father chose a terrible time to leave answers."Anna almost smiled. The situation was too serious to be smiling about it."You don't believe Steve is involved."It

Anna stood beside him, her pulse refusing to slow down.Draven was only three days away. The reality of it settled heavily over the room.For weeks, Draven had been a looming shadow, a distant threat and nightmare waiting beyond the horizon.Now he was real. Close enough to strike, close enough to take everything they loved.Steve slammed a hand against the council table."Quiet!" The room immediately fell silent.Chris finally looked up. His golden eyes swept across the gathered wolves. Every face reflected the same thing. Raw, undeniable fear."We'll prepare for it ." His voice was calm and steady. The voice of an Alpha."We fortify

    THE WARNING FROM THE NORTH The pain hit Anna so suddenly that her knees nearly gave out. One second she was standing beside Steve outside the cabin, and the next, a wave of shock crashed through the mate bond hard enough to steal the air from her lungs. She grabbed the railing. Her vision blurred. Something was terribly wrong, she could feel it. "Anna!" Steve caught her before she fell. The concern in his voice sounded distant. As though she were hearing him from underwater. "What happened?" Anna pressed a trembling hand against her chest. The emotions flooding through the bond weren't hers. They belonged to Chris. Her heart began hammering. "Chris." Steve immediately straightened. "What about him?" Anna didn't answer. She was already running. The bond pulled her forward like an invisible thread. She ran past the cabins. Past the training grounds, toward the council hall. Steve followed her close behind. By the time they reached the building, wolves had already begun gatheri

    THE FACE IN THE SHADOWS"Anna!" Chris's voice sounded distant, muffled as if she were underwater.Her pulse thundered violently in her ears while fragments of the vision continued flashing through her mind. Around her were flames, screams, and pools of blood. With that face that stood out amidst the thick smoke."Anna, talk to me." Chris cupped her cheeks gently, forcing her gaze to focus on him. The concern in his golden eyes grounded her slightly.She inhaled sharply. "I.. I'm okay."Chris looked unconvinced. "You collapsed.""It was another vision." His expression immediately darkened.The word vision no longer sounded harmless not after

    THE SILENCE AFTER THE STORM The council hall remained silent long after Chris left. No one seemed willing to move or speak. The weight of what had just happened hung heavily in the room.Anna stood frozen for several seconds before finally turning toward the gathered wolves.Their faces told her everything. She could see the fear, concern and uncertainty written over their faces. They were beginning to worry about their Alpha.Steve was the first to break the silence. "Meeting's over."His voice was firm enough to snap everyone back to reality. Slowly, the wolves began filing out.Tyler lingered near the doorway, guilt written plainly across his face.Anna noticed it immediately. "Tyler."He stopped. For a moment he looked like he wanted to run.Instead, he turned back. "I didn't mean for that to happen."Anna sighed quietly. "I know."His expression twisted. "No, you don't." He rubbed a hand over his face. "Every time I challenge him, things get worse."Anna remained silent because

    CARLY'S PAIN AND PACK DYNAMICS The blinds in Carly's bedroom had been drawn for three days. She lay on her side, facing the wall, the same playlist looping on her phone until the lyrics lost all meaning. Her mother had stopped knocking. Her father had flown home from his conference, walked past

    THE ALPHA'S STRUGGLE The Whitmore property sat at the edge of the wild country, where the wheat fields gave way to forest and the night belonged to creatures that didn't bother with human names. Chris ran there now, four paws pounding the earth, the wolf finally free after days of caging it beh

    A GLIMPSE BEHIND THE VEILThe afternoon had started out innocent enough. Carly had dragged them to Millbrook's annual summer garage sale crawl, a tradition she took with the seriousness of a religious pilgrimage. They'd sifted through Mrs. Patterson's collection of ceramic cats, debated the merits

    UNSETTLING UNDERCURRENTS The days that followed took on a rhythm that should have felt familiar, coffee in the morning, the lake in the afternoon, dinner as the fireflies emerged but Anna couldn't shake the sense that she was learning her hometown by heart all over again, every sense heightened,
