An hour later,

The council chamber of the Blackthorn Tribunal was a cathedral of spectacle, not justice. Carved into the volcanic cliffs of Stonevale, its walls breathed smoke and shadow, while spectral flames floated in sconces that never burned out.

Chains etched with runes coiled along the stone like serpents waiting to strike. And above the central dais, three colossal horns of judgment hung suspended, relics of a time when verdicts were followed instantly by executions.

Xander stood in the ring below.

Froststeel cuffs locked his wrists, their runes biting cold into his veins, suppressing every shred of wolf within him.

His body bore scars and blood from torture, but his spine remained unbroken, his chin lifted, his eyes sharp with defiance.

He was accused of treason, of consorting with outsiders, and protecting her... it was Evangeline they truly feared. But they had him instead.

And Evangeline was already here.

    The storm hadn’t broken when they reached the old cathedral. It split open now, directly above them.Thunder cracked, a sound like God’s own fist hitting granite, rattling the remaining stained glass. Rain hammered the stone roof, filling the hollow space with the raw, metallic scent of wet ash and cold iron. Evangeline’s candlelight flickered in gasps, casting their shadows long and grotesque against the broken altar.She finished the last of the blood-and-ink rune, the copper taste of power sharp on her tongue.Xander watched her, still as a statue but coiled like a spring. His expression was a storm she couldn't name: reverence, primal hunger, and a deep-seated fear — not of her, but of the abyss she was willingly stepping into. Of the creature she was allowing herself to become to survive.She opened her mouth, a simple word of thanks already forming - and the wards shattered.Not hers, but theirs.A wave of concussive pressure rolled through the cathedral, sharp and invisible as

    Moments later,They fled under a sky braided with rain—the city’s lights streaked into rivulets of gold and blood as the pack ran. Sirens chased them from the edges of the valley to the dark bones of an abandoned cathedral that had once meant sanctuary. Now its stained glass gaped like shuttered eyes, vaults yawning into a ceiling of stone and memory. Statues of saints had been knocked askew, their faces smudged with soot; ivy had braided itself through pews like slow, patient fingers.They slipped inside through a side door - Lucien went first, cat-quick; Cassius covered the rear with the steady vigilance of someone who had memorized danger. Marrow’s boots struck the stone with a metronome of tension. Virex moved like a shadow that obeyed no gravity, his coat brushing sculptures as if to wake them. Emma trailed, pale glow-orbs drifting from her hands; they cast soft, unreliable light that trembled over broken altars and scriptural ash. Selene’s eyes cut the dark into slices, the o

    At the same time,Dr. Vela Ainsworth’s dressing room smelled faintly of lavender powder and antiseptic, a chilling blend that carried the cold precision of her profession. The walls were lined with immaculate gray suits, each pressed to perfection, each identical in cut and shade, as if her very clothing was a ritual of order. A sleek vanity sat in the corner, its glass polished to such clarity that the flickering light of the single bulb seemed doubled, giving the impression of two rooms overlapping.It was here that the pack had gathered, though they did not belong in such a space. Cassius’s broad frame leaned against the wardrobe, arms folded like iron bars, eyes burning with impatience. Lucien had pulled out a chair from the vanity, turning it backward to sit with his forearms resting on its back, his expression carved from quiet calculation. Selene stood near the door, her posture deceptively relaxed but her gaze sharp, measuring the lock as if memorizing every angle of its mecha

    Moments later,The cell door groaned open, the sound echoing through the sterile chamber like a warning bell. Xander lifted his head with effort, his body trembling from blood loss and strain, his eyes still burning with the stubborn fire of someone who refused to break. He expected more blows, another instrument of pain from Elias Vaughn’s arsenal, but instead the prosecutor’s expression had changed. For the first time since Xander had seen him, there was no sneer curling his lips, no cruel glimmer of satisfaction in his eyes. Vaughn’s face was set, unreadable, and his movements were sharp with urgency.“Untie him,” Vaughn ordered. His voice was clipped, colder than before, but devoid of the theatrical cruelty he usually draped over every word.The guards hesitated, exchanging uncertain glances. One finally stepped forward, fumbling with the chains that bound Xander to the chair. The iron restraints clattered to the floor, leaving angry red welts in their wake. Xander then slumped

    An hour later,The air was heavy with iron, thick with the stench of blood... his blood. Shackled in a chair bolted to the floor, Xander’s head lolled forward, his chest rising and falling with shallow, ragged breaths. Every nerve in his body screamed as though set aflame, but Elias Vaughn’s voice cut sharper than any whip, cruel and deliberate in its calm precision.“You wolves… you think you’re gods of flesh and fang. You believe your existence is a gift to this world.” Vaughn leaned in, eyes glinting with obsessive fire. “But I will peel that lie from your bones. And you, Xander, will confess before I’m done with you.”Xander raised his eyes slowly, his vision blurring and splitting into fragments. He tried to laugh, but it came out as a choking rasp. “Confess to something I didn’t do? That’s your style, isn’t it?” His lips cracked into a bloody smile. “Fabricating justice, because real justice isn’t enough for you.”The Elias' backhand was swift, snapping his head to the side.
