MasukLira's POV We traveled through the night. Walking was not easy, but the pain did not feel as strong. Almira stayed close and supported me whenever the path was covered in stones.Alura moved ahead with sharp focus. Her eyes stayed on the forest around us. Even the smallest movement made her turn quickly, her hand going straight to the dagger at her side.It was clear she had not forgotten what happened to her during the war. The fear was still there, hidden under the way she carried herself.Damien kept his attention on the map in his hands. He barely looked up as he walked. No matter how much I tried to see what was on it, the markings made no sense to me.After a short distance, voices began to rise in the air. It sounded like a gathering. There was laughter, distant howls, and the crackle of what felt like a bonfire.Damien lifted his head and listened. Then he turned to us and the carriage rider.“You will take another route to the smaller settlements,” he said. “We meet here on

Lira's POV Salcan took his place at the center of the stage, and I studied him closely. My eyes lingered on his face, his posture, and how carried himself. There was definitely something different about him. The light from the torches reflected off him in a strange way. I thought that was what had caught my attention. But the longer I looked at him, the more I realized it wasn't the lighting at all. The first thing I noticed was his hair. Silver strands had begun to appear among the dark ones. I had known my father my entire life, and in our family, silver hair only appeared in the women. Seeing it on him immediately told me that something had gone terribly wrong. Then there were his eyes. They had always been a deep brown. On every full moon, especially when he drew power from the moon, they would turn gold, just like every other alpha. But now, they were silver. A chill ran through me. I had only seen eyes turn that color once before, and I remembered exactly what had fol

The General's POV I was counting the hours I lay there on the cold floor of my office while my blood soaked through my clothes. My leg was burning, and I could feel my heartbeat weakening. Pain dragged me in and out of consciousness but I didn’t let the darkness overtake me. My throat was dry fr
Damien's POV I slept but it didn't feel like I was resting. I found myself in a hollow room, standing before a figure I couldn't describe. She had no face or form. The only thing I could see clearly was the moonlight that radiated from the place she stood. “It is not finished yet,” she started.
Salcan's POV I always knew the day would come when Damien Blackthorne would finally fall to his knees. I just didn't expect to witness it with my own eyes… and goddess, it was beautiful. For the first time in centuries, Alpha Damien, the great unmoving mountain, the beast who survived wars, betr
Aragon's POV After I ordered the guards to open the gates for Lira to pass, I led Damien to his den silently. Every step we took reminded me of something I had fought too hard not to think about: what happened at the Tarlock border changed everything. The Blackthorne wolves would not take it quiet
