When Jennifer woke up, the air was thick with blood and damp stone. Torches sputtered against jagged cavern walls, their light flickering over the bodies that moved in the shadows, vampires, pale and hungry.

Jennifer’s wrists were bound in silver chains, the silver burning her skin, making her weak. But her eyes were clear now, sharp, steady.

They didn’t know the mistake they had made.

A figure stepped forward from the shadows. Familiar.

Her breath caught.

“Elion…!”

The Beta King smirked, the firelight casting harsh angles across his face. “Surprised to see me, Queen Jennifer?”

Jennifer’s stomach twisted. “You’re… with them?” She couldn't believe her eyes. He was betraying his own people, his kin but why?

Elion's smile darkened, edged with bitterness. “Don’t act shocked. You of all people should know what Reis cost me. My sister.” His voice cracked like a whip, filled with years of venom.

“She’d still be alive if it weren’t for him. If it weren’t for you.”

Jennifer’s heart pounded, b

    Peace had finally returned to the Ironcrest Palace. The vampires had been shattered, Elion cast into the dungeons, and for the first time in many moons, the pack could breathe without the shadow of war looming over them.Jennifer stood on the balcony of her chambers, the morning sun spilling across the horizon. Her hand drifted unconsciously to her stomach, where new life stirred, a secret she had kept close to her heart for weeks.She turned when she heard footsteps. Reis entered, his dark hair damp from training, his golden eyes softening the moment they met hers. His presence still made her heart race, even after everything they had endured.“You’ve been smiling to yourself all morning,” he teased, crossing the room to wrap his arms around her waist. “Should I be worried?”Jennifer bit back a laugh, pressing her forehead to his chest. “Not worried. Surprised.”Reis leaned back, searching her face. “Surprised?”Her eyes shimmered as she took his hand and placed it against her belly.

    The battle’s echoes had barely faded when Elion tried to flee.His dagger clattered to the stone as he staggered toward a shadowed tunnel, ash clinging to his clothes, his face pale with desperation. But Reis was faster.The Alpha’s hand closed around Elion’s throat, slamming him against the cavern wall. His golden eyes blazed with betrayal.“You sold your soul to leeches.”Elion spat blood, snarling. “You took everything from me! My sister died because of you. You deserved to lose Jennifer, just as I lost her!”Reis’s grip tightened, but his Jennifer’s voice cut through the cavern, steady, commanding.“Don’t kill him.”Reis turned, shocked. Jennifer’s blade still glowed in her grasp, her eyes like stormlight. She stepped closer, her voice ringing with cold authority. “Death would be too easy. Let him live with the weight of what he’s done. Lock him in the dungeons for the rest of his life.”Elion’s eyes widened with fury, but his voice trembled. “You… you’ll regret this.”Jennifer le

    The first ripple of unease came the night Reis returned from the city.His car screeched to a halt on the moonlit road, tires skidding against gravel. A figure stumbled into his path, arms flailing before crumpling in front of his headlights.Reis slammed the door open, heart pounding.“Damn it!” He rushed forward, crouching low.A woman. Human!Her face was pale beneath streaks of blood, clothes torn, and her body bore deep cuts as though she had clawed her way through thorns or worse. Her lips trembled, muttering broken syllables, before she collapsed completely.Without hesitation, Reis scooped her into his arms. Her skin was cold, trembling like a leaf in a storm.“Hold on,” he muttered through clenched teeth, pressing her closer as he raced back to the car. “You’re not dying here.”“To the pack hospital.” Reis ordered his driver and the driver started driving rashly to reach the hospital before it's too late. He was already frightened after hitting the girl. The palace hospital

    That night, long after the council’s decree and Sabrina’s execution, Jennifer finally drifted into sleep in Reis’s arms. His steady heartbeat and warmth should have been comforting, but her dreams were anything but peaceful.Darkness spread before her like a veil. The forest she knew well Ironcrest’s sacred grounds stood cloaked in blood-red mist. The moon above bled crimson, dripping light onto the earth.A voice whispered through the shadows, ancient and heavy with sorrow.“Child of destiny… the war has only begun.”Jennifer turned, searching for the source, and there she stood, the Moon Goddess, shrouded in silver light. Her eyes glimmered with both compassion and warning.Jennifer’s chest tightened. “Why show me this? Sabrina is gone. Her betrayal ended.”The Goddess’s expression softened, yet her voice resonated with undeniable truth.“Sabrina was only a thread in a greater weave. Darkness clings to her choice, and from it, more will come. You carry the mark of fate, your blood h

    The courtyard was hushed long after Sabrina’s execution, as though the very air grieved. No one dared to speak loudly, not even the warriors dispersing from their posts. The banners of Ironcrest fluttered softly, carrying with them the weight of betrayal, blood, and loss.Beta King Elion, her brother remained by the block long after everyone else had left. His hands trembled, fists clenched so tight his knuckles turned white. Tears streamed down his cheeks unchecked. He had once dreamed of standing proudly beside her at court, of their family’s loyalty strengthening Ironcrest’s throne. Now all he had left was ashes of that dream.Jennifer lingered nearby, her chest heavy with conflicting emotions. Relief at Sabrina’s end warred with the memory of her broken laugh and desperate eyes. For all the venom Sabrina had spewed, she had once been family to them.Reis’s arm curled around Jennifer’s waist protectively, anchoring her as much as himself. His voice was low, hoarse from silence. “Sh
