Lunar Lake 145
145 (Tyler’s POV) The war room was empty when I walked in. The long oak table stretched before me, scarred with the marks of knives, claws, and time. Maps still covered the walls inked lines marking patrols, red pins for sightings, black ones for the dead. I didn’t sit. Not yet. I needed them to walk in and see me already here, already waiting, already ready. An Alpha doesn’t wait for his circle. His circle gathers around him. The silence hummed with tension, like the moment before a storm cracks the sky. I set my hands flat on the table, leaning forward, studying the map of our borders. The pins had multiplied too quickly these past weeks. Jaxson was moving faster than I liked. Too fast for coincidence. The door opened. Camerin stepped in first, as I knew he would. His eyes swept the room, sharp, assessing. He didn’t speak, just gave me a short nod and moved to my right, taking his place like it had always been meant for him. Micah came next, his jaw set, his movements tighter

144 (Tyler’s POV) The war room emptied one by one Camerin with his usual stiff nod, Micah already muttering logistics under his breath as he left. Only Kate lingered. She waited, silent, while I gathered the last of the papers and slid them into the drawer. Her eyes never left me. I motioned toward the hall. “Come on. It’s late.” We walked in silence through the dim corridors, the quiet heavy after hours of sharp voices and the smell of strategy still clinging to me like smoke. I thought maybe she’d let it go for once. But Kate never lets anything go. Halfway up the stairs, she caught my arm. “You’re not telling me everything.” Her voice wasn’t accusing it was steady. Certain. That was worse. I turned, meeting her gaze in the lantern glow. “You heard everything that mattered.” Her hand tightened. “Don’t lie to me, Tyler. Not after what we’ve already been through. I can feel that you're planning more than you’re saying.” I exhaled hard through my nose, jaw tight. I could out-st

143 (Tyler’s POV) I slammed the door behind us, the heavy oak rattling on its hinges. Camerin was at my side, silent but steady. Kate followed, her face pale from the vision, but her chin lifted, stubborn as ever. Micah arrived last, closing the lock and pulling the blinds. No one else would hear this. No one else could. I planted both hands on the table, leaning forward, my voice cutting through the silence. “Jaxson thinks he has an army. He thinks fear will carry him. He’s wrong.” My growl shook in my chest, low and sharp. “It’s time he learned what a real army looks like.” Micah folded his arms, watching me carefully. Camerin’s eyes narrowed, waiting. Kate eased closer to the table, like she already knew I wasn’t just venting. “We don’t fight him here,” I continued. “Not on our land. Not where our people sleep. He’s watching us waiting for us to slip. That ends now. While he’s watching our patrols, we go behind his back.” “Behind his back… how?” Micah asked. I straightened,

142 (Kathryn’s POV) The training mats still smelled faintly of sweat and leather, but the house itself was quiet. Tyler was leaning against the edge of the bed, arms crossed, watching me pace the room. I’d changed into something simple leggings, a fitted long-sleeve, my hair tied back but it wasn’t the clothes I couldn’t stop tugging at. It was the weight of what I’d agreed to do. “You’re burning a hole in the floor,” he murmured, his voice roughened by long hours without sleep. “I’m fine.” The words came out sharper than I meant. I stopped pacing, pinching the bridge of my nose. “I just… What if I touch him and I see nothing? What if I fail, Tyler?” He pushed off the bed and came to stand in front of me, close enough that I could feel the heat rolling from him. He caught my chin gently, forcing me to meet his eyes. “Then you try again. And again. Until the truth shows itself. That’s what we do. We don’t stop until we have what we came for.” I searched his face, looking for any

141 (Kathryn’s POV) I wasn’t looking for anything. Honestly, I just wanted to thank Camerin. He’d been running himself ragged, chasing leads, holding the line so Tyler didn’t burn himself out completely. When I spotted him in the hall, I caught his arm on instinct, meaning only to stop him for a second. The moment my skin brushed his, the vision slammed into me. Stone walls. The stench of blood and ash. A body wrapped in canvas on a cellar floor, lifeless. Tyler standing over it, fists clenched, fury in every line of his body. Camerin beside him, voice grim: “They’ll all be marked, Tyler. Any spy we catch will end the same way.” I gasped, jerking my hand back. The vision faded, leaving my heart pounding in my chest. Camerin’s face drained of color he knew what I’d seen. “You didn’t tell me,” I whispered, anger and betrayal tangling in my throat. “You and Tyler, you kept this from me.” “Kate…” he started, but I cut him off. “You let me walk through the ranks, touching everyone,

140 (Tyler’s POV) The name left Kate’s lips, and it was like the room shrank. Camerin swore again under his breath, pacing a tight line across the war room while I kept my gaze fixed on the map. Not the markers. Not the borders. Just the space in between. If one traitor could slip so close, how many more had we overlooked? Kate’s hand was still beneath mine, her pulse quick and sharp. She had done her part. More than her part. Now it was up to me and Camerin. “He can’t know we suspect him,” I said, my voice low, even though the room was empty but for us. “If he thinks we’re onto him, he’ll either bolt or act before we’re ready.” Camerin nodded once, still pacing. “We can’t just drag him out in front of the others. Word will spread too fast, and we’ll have panic. Or worse others still hidden might try to cover their tracks.” “Then we take him quietly,” I said. “Patrol rotation. He goes out tonight. We make sure it’s with our men, no chance of him slipping through. Once he’s outsi
