Kieran’s POV“What!” Caspian and I yelled at the exact same time.Nalani didn’t flinch.She stood with her palms planted firmly against the strategy table, eyes steady, she’d prepared for this.We hadn’t.“You’re going to say that again,” I growled, voice shaking despite every effort I made to control it. “Carefully.”Caspian’s jaw ticked, golden power simmering beneath his skin, his wolf already prowling restless and angry inside him. The air thickened with the pressure of two Goldmoon Alphas barely clinging to control.Nalani swallowed once but didn’t back down. She never backed down from us.“I said,” she repeated slowly, “that the person I met told me something about Daniel… and Alyra. Something she never told either of you.”My heartbeat slammed against my ribs.Alyra.Even hearing her name after all this time twisted something cruel and sharp inside me. My sister. The one who used to wedge herself between me and Caspian, complaining that our tempers were the reason she’d never h
Nalani's POV The days after the revelation about Alyra’s death had passed in a blur of thought, planning, and quiet unrest. I could feel it in the way the Ashwood pack moved around me, in the cautious glances cast toward me from both pack members and warriors. Everyone knew I was a Lynix now. Everyone understood the danger I carried, the power that set me apart, and the value that made me a target. It was exhausting just to breathe freely in my own home… well my mates home really.Thane and I had thrown ourselves into the investigation. Every day we pored over scraps of intelligence, cross-referencing everything the rogue spy had relayed with what Thane’s underground informants could dig up. The rogue’s message about returning to the Black Moon pack hung over us like a storm cloud, unresolved and menacing. He was essential to understanding the enemy, but sending him back was a gamble, one we still didn’t fully trust.“This leads nowhere,” Thane muttered for the third time that mornin
Nalani’s POV The morning light filtered weakly through the tall windows of the Ashwood strategy room. The world outside was wide and waking, but inside the room felt small, boxed in by tension. Caspian paced in a clean, tight line near the table, while Kieran leaned against the wall with crossed arms, jaw set, shoulders drawn taut. Stan, Kieran’s beta, stood beside the table, eyes taking in every shift of expression.I had just stepped in when Caspian spoke, his voice low but urgent.“The rogue sent another message,” he said without preamble. “He says he has to return to the Black Moon pack. The contact feeding him information is starting to doubt him. He claims he can only get deeper intel if he goes back.”Kieran’s expression darkened instantly. “That’s exactly what I knew would happen,” he growled. “Sending him back is a mistake. If he’s compromised, we’re screwed. If he chooses to run home, we’re screwed. And worst of all, he now knows about Nalani. About what she is. “But they
Nalani’s POVThe silence after my blindfold fell was not still at all. It thickened like the air before a lightning strike.Then the whispers rose again, sharper this time.SilverLook at her eyesThose are Lynix eyesNo wayThat… girl… what is sheThe tension spread like smoke, curling into every corner of the arena. A single voice from somewhere in the crowd broke through the murmuring, trembling with nerves stretched too thin.Did you hear what they said about Ziglar?Someone said they found silver in his bloodMore voices joined, overlapping, rising pitch by pitch.SilverShe has silverHer bite wouldNo no those things are mythsBut she was the last one with him“I heard she was found with her teeth deep in Ziglar’s neck” another said twisting the truthWhat if she?The announcer tried to regain control, but even he was shaking. His voice cracked like breaking glass.We ask the crowd to remain calm…No one stayed calm.Fear spread through the rows like a contagion. People covered
Nalani's POV The noise hit me first. A roar of panic, outrage and disbelief that swelled through the arena like a crashing wave. I felt it roll over me even as my vision blurred around the edges and my knees weakened beneath me. Kieran’s arms were already around my waist, steadying me, and Caspian at my other side, his expression carved from something dark and strained. The sand beneath my feet felt unstable, as if the world itself had tilted sharply off its axis.I barely heard the shouts from the officials as the crowd surged against the barrier, demanding answers. The moment the masked man shot that arrow, everything stopped. The match halted mid movement. Every spectator forgot how to breathe. My senses were still chasing the moment the sharp whistle cut the air and instinct made me move, taking the shot in Caspian’s place. The impact still burned through my ribs. Both impacts did.Caspian lifted me before my legs could give way completely. The crowd erupted again, their uproar e
Kieran's POV Just for a heartbeat.Just long enough.The strike was going to hit.And it was going to kill her.My body moved on instinct, but I was too far. The arena wall, sun-bleached and harsh, stood between us. Rules held me back. Distance betrayed me.Nalani lifted her arm to block, but the attack came with brutal precision. I hurled my blade instinctively, not at the opponent, but toward the sand near her feet. A last desperate attempt to give her something to defend herself with.But it wouldn’t reach her in time.Her opponent’s strike slammed down with unrelenting force. She tried to dodge. She was not fast enough.In that instant, the world collapsed into sound and light and fear.I realized something with brutal clarity. I was about to watch the woman I loved die.The strike connected. Not a glancing blow. Not a scratch. A full, devastating impact. The sound tore through my chest, echoing like bones snapping under stone.Nalani’s body whipped backward. Sand exploded around

Nalani’s POVThe trees blurred past as I drove away from them, I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces as my mother’s voice rang in my head."Damn it, I thought there was a chance I had dreamed it all, but no, the moon goddess must hate me." First Ryker denied me, then my parents hid that I
Nalani’s POVI followed the tall stranger away from the pulsing lights and thumping music of the ceremony. He led me through a shadowed garden path until the noise faded to a distant hum. We stopped in a secluded alcove hidden behind tall hedges, moonlight filtering through the leaves in silver shar
