The alert text burned on the panel.

**EXTERNAL BREACH — TRIBUNAL ENFORCERS ON GROUNDS**

His jaw tightened. Mine went cold.

Tribunal enforcers—here. Now.

“Time’s up,” Kieran said. “You want the relic, you get it now, or you get nothing.”

Daire swung toward the inner hall. “Vault first,” he said. “If we run without it, we run blind.”

“And if we get trapped?” I asked.

He met my gaze. “Then at least we’re trapped with leverage.”

It's not exactly comforting. But better than *trapped with nothing*.

“Come on,” he added. “They’ll hit the main doors first. We have minutes before they remember Frostveil has a belly as well as a face.”

He didn’t take the obvious route.

Instead, he ducked into a side corridor half-hidden behind an innocuous panel—one I’d always thought led to linen storage. He pressed his palm against an unmarked section of the wall. There was a faint click, and then the panel swung inward on silent hinges.

A narrow passage yawned beyond. Stone. Dark. The air colder, older, less

    The command to remove Daire fractured the room.For a few breaths, nothing moved.Then everything did.***Lunaris guards shifted subtly, closing ranks around Soryn and Daire. Tribunal enforcers along the lower rail tensed, hands hovering near the shock batons at their belts. The scent of aggression thickened—ozone and hot fur and a more metallic tang beneath.“Stand down,” Soryn murmured without turning.Her words were soft.The wards listened.Lunaris steel eased a fraction, enough to signal: not yet.Daire didn’t stand down.He stood taller.“I came as witness,” he said, voice steady but carrying. “As the Alpha whose name you keep putting in your filings like a convenient villain. You will hear me.”“Your presence contaminates the proceeding,” the judge snapped. “You are the subject of pending asset deliberations yourself. You rejected this court’s authority when you defied our summons.”“I defied your *kidnapping,*” Daire said, heat finally cracking through. “There’s a difference.

    They put a chain on her before they opened the door.Not for security.For optics.***The shackles on Elowen’s wrists were clipped to a thin length of silver that looped to a ring at her waist—just enough slack for her to walk, not enough to lift her hands free The metal hummed with a low, constant drain.“Don’t trip,” the escort on her right murmured. “They’ll play it in slow motion.”She didn’t answer.The doors to the High Howl Tribunal hall swung inward.Light hit her like a slap.Tiered rows of benches rose in a steep crescent, packed with wolves in tailored suits and polished crests—pack elites, covenant delegates, buyers who’d come to watch a high‑value case. Cameras nested like carrion birds along the walls; tiny red recording runes blinked from every angle.At the far end of the room, the Senior Tribunal bench curved in a high arc—judges seated in a row, robes dark, faces composed. The presiding judge, a grey‑muzzled wolf with thin lips and sharp eyes, sat dead center.Crowe

    Waking hurt.Not in the sharp, clean way of injury.In the slow, crawling way of wrongness.***Elowen’s first awareness was heat around her wrists.Burning, steady and precise, like someone had wrapped live wires around bone.She tried to move her hands.Metal bit down.Her eyes snapped open.The ceiling above her was a pane of dull, reinforced glass, faint script etched along its edges—a tribunal design pretending to be decorative while broadcasting control to every rune in the room.She lay on a narrow bench bolted to the wall of a transport cell. The space was too small to pace, too big to ignore. Cold bars formed one side; the other three were solid composite, a muted grey that sucked light.Her wrists were bound in silver shackles.Not plain metal.Lunaris script crawled along them like tiny, burning veins—her own language turned into a siphon. Every time her power stirred, even slightly, the restraints flared, drawing it off in thin, painful threads.“Assessment cuffs,” a too‑c

    Daire didn’t ask for time.He extended his hand.***The silver blade was colder than it looked.He took it from Soryn’s fingers, the metal humming faintly against his skin—recognizing Lunaris authority, rejecting his.“Palm,” Soryn said.He turned his hand over.For a brief, treacherous second, pride whispered that this was madness. That bowing to a foreign House, binding himself to another’s law, was one more cage.Elowen in a tunnel, wrists in chains, killed that whisper.He drew the blade across his palm.Pain flared, bright and clean. Blood welled up, hot against the cold silver.The wards in the hall tightened, attention sharpening.“Kneel,” Soryn said.He dropped to one knee, bleeding hand held up between them.“Repeat,” she said, voice taking on a cadence older than any Tribunal oath. “I, Daire of Nightmoor, called Vhaloren, bind my strength to the protection of Elowen a’Lunaris.”He swallowed copper.“I, Daire of Nightmoor, called Vhaloren,” he said, “bind my strength to the

    The tunnel swallowed Elowen.The wards stopped Daire.***He ran alongside the hill as far as stone and lungs would let him, tracking the faint hum of the moving platform under his feet. The Lunaris waypoint looked like nothing from above—a gentle rise, a scatter of white rock, trees breathing peacefully around it.Underneath, it was a vein of stolen gold.“Nyra!” he shouted. “There has to be another entrance.”She dropped from a nearby branch, landing in a crouch, eyes already scanning the slope.“There isn’t,” she said. “Not one we can reach before she’s halfway to the complex. These tunnels were built to move our own in secret. We never thought we’d need to drag them *back.*”He slammed his fist into the earth.Wards bit his skin even there, a warning shock that snapped up his arm.“Careful,” Nyra snapped. “You hit the hill too hard. You wake every old defense it has. Some of them don’t care whose side you’re on.”He forced himself to unclench his hand.“Track it,” he said. “Show m

    For a heartbeat, Elowen thought she could still walk back out.The door was open. The air beyond it smelled like trees and Daire and ordinary fear.Then the runes woke up.***Lines of Lunaris script flared along the threshold—sigils she recognized in shape but not in sequence, braided with sharper, foreign strokes. The shimmer thickened into a pane of invisible glass shot through with silver.Elowen’s instincts snapped like a whip.“Stop,” she commanded, voice edged in Lunaris authority, pushing the word into the runes the way Mae had taught her.They flickered.They did not obey.Instead, the script brightened, threads of light coiling tighter, latching onto the signature of her blood like it had been waiting for her to speak.“Shit,” she breathed. “It’s keyed to me.”Of course it was.Someone had taken Lunaris bedrock—her own bloodline’s language—and twisted it into a lock only she could close around herself.Behind her, Daire slammed into the unseen barrier.The air cracked.His b
