Lunar Lake 79
79 (Tyler’s POV) The knock came just after sunrise. It was too precise three short raps, evenly spaced. Not urgent like a warrior reporting for duty. Not casual like a servant. I was already on my feet when the door creaked open and Carson stepped in, holding a sealed envelope between two fingers like it might bite him. “You have a problem,” he said flatly. “Or maybe we both do.” Kate sat up behind me, wrapping the sheets around herself. “What is it?” Carson walked to the desk and dropped the envelope there. It was black. The wax seal is blood red. Jaxson’s pack symbol, warped and jagged, stamped into it like a scar. “No one saw who delivered it,” Carson said. “It was left on my office desk. No scent. No sound. Like it just appeared out of thin air.” I already hated it. I broke the seal. Inside was a single piece of thick paper, the ink so dark it looked like it had bled from the page itself. You brought her into this world. You marked her as yours. You made her a target. S

78 (Kathryn’s POV) I found them in Carson’s war room, an actual war room. A long table with maps, digital screens showing movement reports, and ranked wolves stationed around the perimeter, all watching closely as Tyler and Carson leaned over a marked-up map of the bordering territories. They both looked up when I walked in. Tyler’s eyes found mine instantly. He didn’t smile, but something in his shoulders eased. He stepped around the table to meet me halfway, stopping just short of touching me. “How’s Scott?” “Alive,” I said. “But just barely.” Tyler nodded. “I’m sorry.” Carson cleared his throat gently. “He was lucky. One of our patrols happened to be sweeping that part of the road. The truck was upside down, crushed. If they’d been five minutes later…” “I know,” I cut in, my voice steadier than I felt. “Thank you, Alpha. For getting him out.” Carson’s gaze sharpened, assessing me differently than before. I wasn’t the shaky human mate in the corner anymore. I felt it, too. S

77 (Kathryn’s POV) The trees changed as we crossed into Carson’s territory denser, darker, as if even the forest knew something had gone wrong. The drive was silent, except for the hum of tires on the road and the occasional crackle of the radio. Tyler hadn’t said much since we left. He didn’t need to. The storm was already brewing in both of us. Jake drove fast, but not recklessly. The kind of speed that said Alpha orders, no delays. My fingers twisted in my lap as we pulled through the gates of Alpha Carson’s packhouse. Warriors met us immediately, ushering us toward the main building where Carson stood waiting, dressed not like an Alpha today, but a man who’d been running damage control for hours. He didn’t waste time. “Tyler, Kate come with me. I’ll explain on the way.” We followed him down the hall, past curious eyes and solemn nods. The place was buzzing, but with a kind of grim efficiency. No chaos. Just quiet, hard purpose. “Scott was found this morning on the west highw

76 (Kathryn’s POV) Tyler didn’t return until well after midnight. I was still awake, curled in the window seat in our bedroom, watching the woods for any sign of him. When he walked in, he smelled like smoke and death. I rose to meet him. “You found something.” He nodded. “Jaxson’s not just regrouping. He’s already set the board.” My throat tightened. “Did he leave a message?” He stepped closer, cupping my face in his hands. “Only one.” He leaned down and kissed me—fierce, burning. When he finally pulled back, he whispered, “We see your Luna.” I didn’t flinch. I met his eyes with calm steel. “Then he’d better be ready. Because your Luna sees him, too.” I walked over and quietly shut the door. When I turned around, Tyler was already peeling off his shirt. I winced at the sight of his wounds. He paced the edge of the bed, shirtless, his skin streaked with fresh gashes and half-healed bruises. His fists clenched and unclenched, his jaw tight with unspoken rage. Though the retali

75 (Kathryn’s POV) They brought Leo into the lower war room, the one without windows, where even sound didn’t travel unless allowed. I watched from behind the two-way glass, heart tight in my chest. He looked so young. His wrists were bound, not cruelly, but firmly. His clothes were torn and scorched. His mouth was cracked and healing where he’d bitten through his own lip. But it was his eyes that hit hardest. They were wide not with fear, but with a kind of hollow obedience. Like someone had scooped the fire out of him and left just enough to walk and speak. “Is he under compulsion?” I asked. Camerin stood beside me. “Not anymore. It broke the second he crossed the border. He’s lucid. But fractured.” “What did Jaxson do to him?” Camerin didn’t answer. He didn’t have to. Leo sat motionless in the center of the room, unflinching when Micah entered. The door clicked shut behind him. “Leo,” Micah said, voice low and even. “Do you know where you are?” A pause. Then a hoarse whispe

74 (Kathryn’s POV) The hallway leading to the cells beneath the packhouse was cold. Colder than I expected, not in temperature, but in energy. The deeper we descended, the more it felt like the weight of old shadows pressed against my skin. Tyler walked ahead of me, silent and focused. Two warriors flanked us both in partial shift, claws ready, eyes glowing faintly gold. They didn’t speak, but I felt the tension rolling off them in waves. Camerin waited at the cell block entrance, arms crossed. “He’s stable,” he said as he unlocked the gate. “But barely. Looks like he tried to fight more than just us before we got to him. Whatever Jaxson’s doing to his wolves… it’s not training. It’s torture.” I swallowed hard and nodded. “I won’t go in. Just look.” The cell was dimly lit, and the scent hit me first blood, sweat, and something burnt. Like singed fur.The rogue sat slumped in the corner, his breathing ragged. One eye was swollen shut, and there were angry, mottled bruises down his
