(Tyler’s POV)

Kate landed another sharp strike against the pad I held, sweat beading along her temple, eyes blazing with determination. I was about to call for one more round when the mind-link buzzed against the back of my thoughts, a pulse of urgency from the northern perimeter. Trouble.

I froze mid-step, and Kate immediately picked up on it. “What is it?” she asked, wiping her brow with the back of her hand.

I didn’t answer right away. Another mental report came through, fragmented but clear enough: Movement along the new borders. Unknown wolves. Not close enough to engage yet, but… watching.

I dropped the pad, my voice sharp. “Training’s over.”

Kate blinked at me, confused. “Tyler…”

“No arguments.” My tone left no room for debate. “The borders are being tested. I want you back at the packhouse until I know what’s going on.”

She scowled but didn’t push back like I half-expected. Maybe it was the edge in my voice or the tension vibrating off me in waves.

    125 (Third party POV) The creature’s words had barely faded before the wards split apart like glass under a hammer. Flames erupted along the barrier lines, black and gold colliding in a shower of sparks as Lena and her sisters screamed their incantations to keep the circle from collapsing entirely. The air turned thick with power, metallic and sharp, and the scent of ozone burned in everyone’s throats. Dozens of Jaxson’s wolves, their eyes glowing the same sick crimson as the creature’s, slammed into the gap that tore open in the wards. Tyler’s warriors met them with steel and claws, the sounds of battle rolling through the clearing like a storm. Snarls. Screams. The crunch of bone. The creature itself hasn't entered yet. It circled the edge like a predator testing the cage, watching as chaos tore through the pack. Every time the witches patched one part of the wards, another piece splintered apart under a fresh strike. Kate ducked as a wolf lunged for her, only for Tyler to inte

    124 (third party POV) The entire pack stood frozen for the first time since the fighting began. Smoke curled from the edges of the circle where the witches knelt, their chests rising and falling too quickly, eyes still glowing faintly as they held the wards together with sheer stubbornness. One of them, the youngest, was slumped half-conscious in Lena’s arms, her face bloodless, magic burned nearly out of her. The wolves had formed up again, shoulders heaving, claws dripping, eyes glowing gold in the dying light. Camerin limped back into the line, one hand pressed to his ribs, but he didn’t fall back. He refused to. Tyler stalked the edge of the circle like a caged storm, jaw tight, eyes darting from the wards to the dark tree line where the creature lingered. It hadn’t shown itself yet but everyone felt it. The air was wrong. The forest, silent. Even the wind held its breath. Kate moved toward Tyler but didn’t speak. Her hand found his arm, anchoring him as the pack held the lin

    123 (third party POV) It came like a drumbeat. One deafening thud that rippled through the wards like a crack in glass. Every wolf on the perimeter froze mid-breath, ears twitching toward the trees. The witches inside the glowing circle flinched but didn’t falter their chant rising higher as Lena hissed, “Hold it. HOLD it!” Another thud. This one left a visible ripple across the barrier, the golden light shuddering under the blow. Tyler was already shifting mid-step, his voice a mental bark through the pack link: “Positions NOW!” Wolves poured toward the edges, forming ranks where the wards trembled. The air was thick with anticipation, tails lashing, paws digging furrows in the dirt. Then the third hit came and the wards screamed. The glow flickered, the whole barrier bowing inward like it would snap. The witches’ voices rose to a near-shriek as they poured power into the lines. Sparks jumped off the runes carved in the earth, burning the grass in smoking circles. “Not yet… not

    122 (Tyler’s POV) Camerin didn’t knock. He stormed into my office, mud still on his boots, his jaw tight. That alone told me whatever he found wasn’t good. Kate was perched on the edge of my desk, arms folded, refusing to leave even though I’d asked her twice before the door opened. Camerin shut it behind him and stood stiff as a post. “We caught a wolf on the border. He was sent.” I straightened slowly. “Sent? By Jaxson?” Camerin nodded once. “He came with a message. Said Jaxson’s watching. Said he’ll come for what’s his.” Kate’s voice was sharp from beside me. “What does that even mean?” Camerin hesitated before speaking, eyes flicking to her, then to me. “The wolf said the land. The pack. The Luna. The baby.” His tone was flat, but there was a weight behind the words, a promise of violence coming our way. Kate went very still. I felt her tense through the bond before the anger followed, hot and fast. “He doesn’t get to threaten my child.” I turned back to Camerin. “Anythin

    120 (Tyler’s POV) The sound of fists hitting the heavy bag carried down the hallway as soon as I stepped into the gym wing. I paused just inside the doorway, jaw tightening. Kate was in the far corner, sweat darkening her tank top, her punches coming fast and sharp against the bag Micah had bolted into the floor weeks ago. She wasn’t going easy either. Each strike cracked through the room like she was trying to drive the thing into the wall. My first instinct was to shut this down right here. She was pregnant. Our child was inside her. The idea of her taking even the smallest risk had Goliath on edge. But then she shifted to the weights, breath coming hard, moving with that same precision and focus I’d seen in every fight she’d ever won. She didn’t look reckless. She looked like a soldier refusing to sit on the sidelines while the war wasn’t over. “Are you planning on telling me you were down here?” I asked finally, voice low but sharp enough to carry. Kate froze mid-lift, then
