2025-06-21 13:50:04The sun hadn't fully risen when Lesley stood on the marble balcony of the Star Blood Pack estate, her gaze fixed on the dark forest that ringed the palace like a sleeping beast.
A light breeze stirred the hem of her satin robe, but her mind was far from the wind. Her fingers clenched around the message she’d read again and again throughout the night. “Tell the others nothing. I’ve found her. I will explain when I return – Ryder” No royal seal. No detailed briefing. Just that. Her chest tightened with each reread. 'Found her'. So casually declared. After years of waiting, of preparing, of knowing he would be hers. Lesley could still feel the chill from the council chambers when they'd first whispered about Ryder's destined mate. She had alway

*Inside The Temple*One moment, the altar was covered in pale fire light spilling around the stone.Next, the runes around the altar glowed faintly. The light moved outward in a circle, catching each of them in its glow… Ryder, Ethan, Alia, Luca, Thalia, Darius, Evren and Crystal herself.Darkness.It wasn't night yet, but the entire world had been swallowed.Crystal staggered back but found no ground beneath her feet. When she blinked, the others were gone.*Crystal’s VisionThe forest stood before her. She was standing on Moonlight Pack’s clearing, familiar yet distorted. She heard a sharp and cruel laughter. George stood there, his arm wrapped around Amy. His lips curled in the same sneer he had on, the day he rejected her.“You were nothing,” he spat. “Not even worth a mate bond.”Crystal’s chest tightened, but before she could answer, the vision changed. George and Amy blurred into Ryder… except not her Ryder. His golden eyes were cold.“You were just a weapon. That is all you e

The path was thinner as the group ascended the final ridges. Crystal’s legs ached, but the sight before them made every step worth it. The temple stood atop the peak, carved from stone, ancient and awe-inspiring. Its walls were covered with runes, glowing faintly in the early morning light, and paintings of wolves, and flames intertwining in ways she could not fully comprehend. The carvings seemed to stare back at them. Crystal’s chest tightened at the history, a mixture of reverence and an unspoken warning threading through her thoughts.Ryder moved at her side. Every now and then, he would glance at her, his golden eyes piercing her. The others followed closely behind, Darius and Evren leading the way, their steps confident over the jagged rocks. Crystal felt the unity of the group, and the unspoken reliance on one another.As they reached the temple entrance, Crystal gasped. The doorway was framed with carved flames, twisting upward, and the stone beneath her fingers as she touc

*Northern Mountains, Early Morning*The wind was strong as the group moved up the jagged path, frost crunching beneath their paws. Crystal stayed close to Ryder, feeling the warmth of his presence.Alpha Darius led the way, his dark cloak flapping lightly in the wind. Beside him, Evren scanned the cliffs and slopes with careful eyes, alert to any sign of danger.Every few steps, Darius paused, glancing back over his shoulder to ensure the group followed.Crystal noticed the ease with which he moved over the rocks, certainly this was not his first time.Her ears twitched. Any branch that snapped, made her senses flare. Behind them, Ethan walked silently, his gaze flicking between the cliffs and Crystal. He seemed tense, and uneasy. Alia walked close, matching his pace. Her eyes scanned the terrain, alert, but a faint smile softened her features. Ethan’s hands held the strap of her backpack, loaded wi

*Starblood dungeon, deep night*The dungeon was silent now, the echoes of broken chains and shouts had long faded. The cold bit through her thin clothing, but Lesley barely noticed. The chill made her skin tingle, sharpening her senses. Lesley sat on the cold floor, one wrist still marked by the faint redness of silver scars, the other free after snapping the chain the other time.Her still violet eyes glowed softly in the dark. Her wolf prowled inside her, restless, hungry, its energy tangled with her own anger and Elira’s lingering influence.She had survived the chaos, had been held only by sheer force of will and the guard’s desperate hands. She remembered the look of fear on their faces, the way their knees had wobbled when she had unleashed even a fraction of her strength. That fear, that realization of her power, made a dark smile curl across her lips.But now, in the quietness, she heard the whispers return. N

*Shadow pack, Night*The hall had quieted after the meal. Crystal sat stiffly, her fingers tapping lightly against the table as she tried to steady her nerves. Though the murmurs from earlier had subsided, the pack members scrutiny still lingered.Ryder leaned back in his chair, eyes scanning the room. Even in the silence, his body radiated readiness. Every muscle, every movement betrayed the alertness he kept even when speaking politely. Crystal could feel the tension in him as though it were a current running between them. She swallowed, wishing she could keep herself calm.“Stay close,” Ryder murmured, brushing his fingers against hers. Crystal nodded.At the far end of the hall, Alpha Darius watched them from his seat. His dark eyes were sharp, unreadable, like a predator sizing up its prey.Next to him sat a tall, broad-shouldered man with close-cropped dark hair, his stance rigid, posture perfect. This was the Alpha’s Beta

The journey went on for hours. The winter forest seemed endless. Starblood wolves padded in silence most of the way, their breath misting in the cold. Crystal walked beside Ryder. Ethan and Luca trailed just behind, Alia and Thalia close to their mates. No one spoke much after the last rest stop… the weight of where they were going was immense. At last, Ryder slowed. His nostrils flared. “We are here,” he said quietly, his voice loud enough for the group to hear. The Shadow Pack’s borders stood ahead. No grand gates or banners but with a natural barrier… jagged black pines pressing close together, almost choking out the light. A thin mist curled along the ground, clinging to their ankles. The land itself felt different. Crystal’s ears twitched. She could hear faint pawsteps moving in the mist, circling. The air carried scents of moss, and smoke.
