(Kathryn’s POV)

The camp was already tense from the last few days, but when three figures emerged from the treeline just after dawn, the air seemed to thicken even more.

They didn’t walk so much as arrive like the forest had decided to let them through. All three were women, tall, confident, their eyes carrying that same strange, ageless sharpness Lena’s did.

Lena strode forward to meet them, her black skirts snapping in the breeze. “Sisters,” she greeted, clasping each of them by the forearms.

The one with silver-threaded braids looked me over with a slow, assessing sweep of her gaze that felt almost physical. The second, dark curls tumbling over her shoulders, tilted her head slightly, as if she were listening to something no one else could hear. The third… she didn’t even wait to be introduced.

She broke away from the group, her pace deliberate, and stopped directly in front of me. From the folds of her coat, she produced a small paper bag and held it out.

“For you,” she

    147 (Tyler’s POV) The sound of boots and paws blended into one steady rhythm as we crossed into Jaxson’s territory. Mist clung low across the ground, rolling off the trees like smoke, muffling the sound of hundreds of wolves moving as one. My wolves kept tight formation, shoulders squared, eyes sharp. To them, this was still a patrol. To me, it was the start of war. Camerin strode at my right hand, his senses tuned to every shadow and snap of twig. The man was stone, but I could feel the edge in him too, the hunter’s awareness that danger wasn’t ahead of us, it was around us already. Micah ranged a few paces ahead, his unit fanning out as the first line of scouts. Silent, efficient, blades glinting in the morning light. They disappeared into the trees in waves, vanishing without a sound. I trusted him to spot trouble before it spotted us. The warriors behind me shifted their weight, the air vibrating with contained energy. Their wolves wanted to run, to fight, to spill blood. I c

    146 Tyler’s POV Two days. That’s all it had taken. Two days of sleepless nights, whispered strategy in the war room, and the constant shuffle of messengers between our allies’ borders. Rowan and Carson’s packs were already moving into position. The trap was set. Now it was time to move my own pack into place without letting them see what they were truly marching toward. I stood in the courtyard with Camerin, Micah, and Celia flanking me. The warriors had gathered in ranks, their expressions sharp with the focus of wolves who believed they were preparing for just another heavy patrol cycle. Only Kate, standing just off my shoulder, knew the truth. Camerin unrolled the assignment lists and began calling names. “First squad, eastern ridge patrol, you'll rotate in pairs, eyes sharp. Second squad, you’ll sweep the southern sector.” His voice carried like steel, calm, commanding. Micah stepped forward to reinforce. “Scouts will move ahead and report any signs of unusual movement. No s

    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
