*Shadow Pack — Alpha’s Quarters, Night*

Crystal had grown used to the constant hum of wolves patrolling outside, but tonight even that seemed distant.

She lay beside Ryder, tracing idle patterns over the hard lines of his chest. Each line of scar beneath her fingertips was a story of battles survived, friends lost, and promises kept. She followed them slowly, until her hand rested over his heartbeat. His golden eyes had finally closed. For a moment, she let herself believe in the fragile peace they had fought for—two warriors, scarred and stubborn, finally at rest.

Aelira stirred uneasily in the back of her mind. Something is wrong.

Crystal tensed, lifting her head. At first, there was nothing—just the pop of embers in the hearth. Then came a sound so soft it might have been imagined; the faintest scrape of metal against wood.

She slipped from the bed in one fluid motion. Her wolf’s senses sharpened, heart pounding with shallow breath. Th

    *Moonlight Territory — Outer Gates, Night*The forest around Moonlight Pack was supposed to be quiet under the winter moon. But the night cracked open with a single, shuddering howl—low, broken, and wild.Two guards at the outer gates stiffened. One raised his spear, the other sniffed the air. “Did you hear—”The words ended in a wet choke. Something moved faster than their eyes could follow. The crunch of snow was drowned by the snap of bone. A body hit the ground, lifeless, before its partner even had time to shout.The second guard barely turned before claws ripped across his chest. Blood splashed bright against the snow, steaming in the frigid air. The moonlight caught on amber eyes—feral, gleaming with something far more dangerous than rage.George.The Beta who had once walked Moonlight’s halls with a smile was gone. What stood in his place was the ruin of a wolf, taller and more savage than he had ever been, his fur streaked with old scars that told the story of failed bargains

    *Starblood Dungeon – Night*The Starblood dungeons had grown colder with the changing of the moon. Water trickled down the stone walls, settling in the rough grooves below. Chains rattled softly whenever Lesley moved—a restless, predatory sort of pacing even though she could barely take two steps before the silver bit her skin.She had counted the hours by those drips. Counted the days by the rotations of guards. Counted every whispered rumor she overheard as they passed, piecing together the mood outside these walls. Wolves were growing uneasy. Silver Fang had been too quiet. The Flame’s power was growing. And Ryder—Ryder was absent more and more, consumed by duties beyond Starblood pack.She smiled faintly to herself. Absence was fertile soil for doubt.From the far corner, Aria watched her, legs curled beneath her like a cat. The maid’s once-soft hands were blistered from menial tasks, but her sharp tongue was as quick as ever. “You are smiling again,” Aria murmured. “Planning anot

    *Shadow Pack Borderlands — Night*Greenwood’s runners had returned with grim reports, and Shadow Pack’s scouts swore they saw Elira’s sigils burned into the snow.Luca tightened the straps on his bracers. Beside him, Thalia sharpened her twin blades on a whetstone. Sparks flickered in the dark between them.“You are grinding too fast,” he said without looking up.She didn’t pause. “Maybe you are too slow.”A few warriors nearby exchanged wary glances and drifted farther away. No one wanted to get caught between the Starblood Beta and Greenwood’s fiercest orphan warrior when they were in this mood.“You never listen,” Luca said. His voice was low, but the edge was there. “That charge you pulled in the last battle could have gotten you killed.”Thalia’s blade froze mid-stroke. Slowly, she lifted her gaze. “And if I hadn’t pulled that charge, Ryder and Crystal would have been flanked.”“There were other options.”“You mean your options.” She stood, sliding one blade into its sheath with

    *Starblood Pack, Morning*Ryder stood at the head of the table, shoulders squared. Luca flanked him with arms crossed over his chest. Thalia stood nearby, her jaw tight, while Ethan and Alia lingered on the far side, their expressions grim. Crystal moved quietly among them.The evidence was laid out plainly… a patrol schedule that had gone missing, a false rumor planted, and another ambush by rogue scouts from Silver Fang that had been too precise to be coincidence. Someone had been feeding their enemies.Luca’s voice was low. “The leak is inside. No outsider could have known those movements.”Ryder’s gaze swept the room, landing briefly on each face before returning to the sealed silver emblem placed at the center of the table—the same sickle-shaped fang Kade had used to mark the message. His fingers flexed once against the wood. Aiden stirred restlessly inside him, a low, warning growl that vibrated in his chest. His wolf wanted blood.Alpha Thorne of Greenwood had sent word at dawn

    *Moonlight Territory – The Southern Border*The Silver Fang pack had sneaked into Moonlight territory for an attack but were shocked to find the High Alpha and the Flame there. This wasn't what the spy had told them. Now, they had to face them head-on. Their war cries shattered the silence of the forest.Crystal’s boots sank into blackened soil as she landed beside Ryder, her flame wreathing her hands in a halo of light. Sparks hissed against her skin, bending toward her as if drawn by a magnetic pull. Ryder’s golden eyes cut through the chaos. “Hold the southern flank,” he commanded, voice clipped but calm. Aiden’s power rolled off him in waves, Alpha authority thrumming in the air. “Luca… take the east ridge! Ethan, with me.”The warriors obeyed without hesitation. Ethan and Alia darted toward the tree line, their movements swift. Luca and Thalia vanished uphill, the clash of steel and teeth already echoing where they met the enemy.A Silver Fang wolf lunged from the smoke, fangs b

    *Starblood Pack – Dungeon, Deep Night*Lesley sat with her back to the wall, her silver chains still wrapped tight around her wrists. The metal had rubbed her skin raw over weeks of captivity.Above her, she could just barely hear distant sounds of the pack—guards exchanging shifts, the faint creak of gates. But down here, the world was small. Small enough that her memories and her hate could take up all the space they wanted.She stared at the ceiling, whispering under her breath. “Crystal… always her.” The name tasted like acid. “The rejected girl who became Flame, queen, mate. And me—Lesley of Starblood—forgotten.” Her laugh cracked, hollow. “But not for long.”The torch sputtered, its flame bending sideways as though a sudden breeze had slid through the stones. A shimmer moved through the corner shadows, first just a flicker, then a tall figure coalescing from the dark. Queen Elira.Lesley’s heart leapt even as she forced he
