The horn echoed again.

Low. Ancient. Final.

It rolled through the mountains and into Lily’s bones, vibrating in places she didn’t know existed. Luna whimpered inside her, instincts screaming pack summons. There was no mistaking it, this wasn’t a request.

It was a command.

Derek released Lily slowly, his hands lingering for half a second longer than necessary before he stepped back. His face had gone hard, the mask of the alpha heir sliding into place.

“Go pack a bag,” he said.

Lily stared at him. “A bag? For what?”

“In case they decide not to let you come home.”

Her chest tightened. “You said they wouldn’t lock me away.”

“I said Kane wouldn’t,” Derek replied grimly. “The council is a different beast.”

Fear surged. “Then don’t take me.”

“They’ll come for you if I don’t,” he said. “And that won’t end well for anyone.”

She swallowed, nodding shakily. “Okay. Okay.”

She hurried to her room, hands trembling as she shoved clothes into a backpack without really seeing what she grabbed. Luna p

    The horn echoed again.Low. Ancient. Final.It rolled through the mountains and into Lily’s bones, vibrating in places she didn’t know existed.

    Sleep didn’t come.Lily lay awake staring at the dark wooden ceiling, every creak of the cabin sounding too loud, every rustle outside making her heart jump. The forest that had once felt like protection now felt like a ring of watching eyes.Luna paced restlessly inside her, emotions bleeding through the bond, unease, alertness, a low, constant warning hum.We’re being hunted.“I know,” Lily whispered into the darkness.Down the hall, Derek’s door was still open. Light spilled faintly across the floor, and she could hear him moving, restless too. Somehow, that knowledge both comforted and unsettled her.After a long moment, Lily pushed herself out of bed.She padded quietly down the hallway, bare feet silent against the wood. She stopped at Derek’s door, hesitating.This is a bad idea.She knocked anyway.“Yeah?” Derek’s voice came instantly, sharp with awareness.“It’s me.”A pause. Then, “Come in.”She opened the door.Derek was sitting on the edge of his bed, shirt discarded, a ba

    The knock on the cabin door wasn’t a knock at all.It was a command.Three sharp strikes, heavy with authority, reverberated through the wood and into Lily’s bones. Her breath caught. Outside, multiple heartbeats thundered, wolves, many of them, disciplined and alert.The pack had arrived.Derek released her hands instantly, the spark between them snapping but not disappearing. Lily still felt it humming under her skin, unstable and bright.“Listen to me,” Derek said quietly, his voice all control and urgency. “You don’t say a word unless I ask you to. No visions. No power. Nothing.”“What if they ask me directly?” Lily whispered.“They won’t.” His jaw tightened. “They’ll ask me.”Another knock. Harder this time.“Alpha Kane,” a voice called. “Open the door.”Lily’s heart lurched.My stepfather.Derek exhaled once, steadying himself, then turned and opened the door.The night air rushed in, cold and sharp. Alpha Kane stood on the porch, flanked by four enforcers in pack jackets. His p

    The forest was too quiet.Lily felt it the moment she stepped out of Derek’s truck. No birds. No insects. Even the wind through the pine needles had stilled, like the entire mountain was holding its breath.Something was wrong.Derek noticed too. His body went rigid, every instinct sliding into place.“Get inside,” he said quietly.Lily hesitated. “What about Luna,”“Now.”She obeyed, heart pounding as she hurried toward the cabin. Luna pressed close inside her chest, restless and growling.Before Lily could reach the door, a sound ripped through the air.A howl.Not a pack howl.A ragged, broken cry that scraped against her bones.Lily spun around.In the treeline, shadows shifted.Three figures emerged, wolves, but twisted. Their fur was patchy, their eyes glowing a sickly red. Rogues.Derek stepped forward instantly, positioning himself between Lily and them.“Stay back,” he ordered.The lead rogue sniffed the air.“Found her,” it rasped.Lily’s blood went cold.“Run,” Derek whispe

    The moment Lily stepped out of the records room, she knew something had changed.The hallway felt heavier. Not louder, not busier, just tenser, like the air itself was holding its breath. Her skin prickled, instincts screaming even though she couldn’t explain why.Derek noticed immediately.“You felt it too,” he said under his breath as they walked.Lily nodded. Her head still throbbed from the vision, flashes of fear echoing in her chest. “Someone’s watching.”“Good,” Derek replied. “That means your instincts are waking up.”“That’s not comforting.”“It should be.”She shot him a look. “You have a strange idea of comfort.”They rounded the corner toward the main stairwell. Students crowded the space, laughter bouncing off stone walls, lockers slamming. On the surface, everything looked normal.Underneath, it wasn’t.Lily felt it, threads of attention tugging at her from every direction. Wolves scenting weakness. Curiosity curdling into hunger.Her steps faltered.Derek shifted closer

    The school loomed like a fortress.Silver Creek High sat at the edge of town where the forest crept close, ivy crawling up its stone walls like nature was slowly reclaiming it. The building was old, older than the human town itself and Lily could feel it the moment she stepped out of Derek’s truck.Power lingered here.Pack power.Her stomach twisted.“This is where you stop pretending you’re invisible,” Derek said quietly beside her.Lily shot him a glare. “I’ve never pretended that.”“Yes, you have,” he replied calmly. “You’ve survived by staying small. That ends today.”Students were already gathered in clusters across the wide courtyard. Some laughed. Some shoved. Some stood stiff and alert, eyes sharp, postures dominant.Wolves.Lily could feel their gazes slide toward her like knives.Then Derek closed the truck door.The effect was immediate.Conversations stopped. Heads turned. Whispers spread like wildfire.“That’s Derek Stone.”“The alpha heir.”“Who’s the girl?”“She smells
