ASTRIDI let out a slow breath, feeling the blood Celia had given me work through my body. My strength was coming back, little by little.Celia watched me, arms crossed. "You look better."I nodded. "I feel better. But it wonโt last long."She frowned. "Then we need to keep doing this."I shook my head. "No. You need to stop. If Ariel finds out, sheโll kill you.""I donโt care.""You should."She sighed, running a hand through her hair. "Then tell me how we kill her."I stiffened. "We donโt."Her eyes darkened. "There has to be a way."I hesitated, then sighed. "There is one person who can do it. Sierra."Celia frowned. "Sierra? The wolf?"I nodded, keeping my voice low. "Sheโs the only one strong enough to take down Ariel. But once sheโs done, sheโll come for us too."Celia scoffed, shaking her head. "Sierra is looking a lot more reasonable than Ariel right now."I shot her a sharp look, my voice firmer. "Be careful what you wish for."She frowned, but I pressed on. "Ariel might be c

ASTRIDI canโt move. My legs feel like theyโve turned to stone, but my whole body is shaking.Celiaโs on the floor, gasping, choking on my blood, her hands clawing at her throat. Her eyes are wide, wild. Blood is spilling from her mouth, her nose, her ears, God, her eyes too.I stumble back, my heart hammering.โWhatโฆwhatโs happening?โ My voice cracks, but Ariel just watches with this twisted grin. Like she planned this. Like she knew.Celia screams, her body writhing, twisting in ways that donโt make sense. Her bones snap, loud and sickening, like branches breaking under heavy weight. Her arms contort, bending in the wrong direction. Her skin stretches, growing impossibly thin, almost translucent like something inside is trying to rip free.She shrieks, the sound splitting through the air like a knife, raw and desperate. Her fingers claw at her own skin, raking deep, bloody lines down her face, like sheโs trying to tear herself apart from the inside. Her body convulses violently, sla

ASTRIDI walked back to the others, my legs shaking. My clothes were still sticky with Celiaโs blood. My hands wouldnโt stop trembling. My heart pounded so hard I could barely hear anything else. The others were waiting. Watching. Their eyes were full of questions I couldnโt answer.โAstridโฆ?โ someone whispered. I didnโt know who. I couldnโt even look up.โWhereโs Celia?โ another voice asked.I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. I tried again. Still nothing. I couldnโt say it. I couldnโt even think of it. Celia was gone. Blown apart. Justโฆ gone.A murmur rose among them. Confusion. Fear. It was thick in the air, pressing down on me.โAstrid, say something!โI shook my head. I couldnโt. I justโฆLaughter. High, sweet, delighted.Ariel.She appeared as if she were floating, her grin wide, her eyes bright. She clapped her hands together, bouncing on her heels, looking absolutely thrilled.โOh, Astrid, you poor thing! You look absolutely terrified!โ she giggled, twirling a strand of he

SIERRAI glanced around at the faces of my pack and my family. Their eyes were filled with uncertainty, and their muscles tensed with hesitation. I knew what they were thinking before any of them said a word.They didnโt want to stay.Honestly, I couldnโt blame them. This town reeked of death and secrets. The air was thick with unease, a constant reminder that we didnโt belong here. And now that it was time to leave, they werenโt just reluctant to stay, they were desperate to follow me.โSierra,โ Liam started, stepping closer. His voice was low, careful, but firm. โYouโre really going back?โI exhaled slowly, looking past him toward the darkened horizon. Home. My packโs land. Safety. โYeah,โ I said, voice steady. โItโs time.โA few murmurs spread among them, the uncertainty thick in the air. They werenโt just worried about staying behind; they were afraid of what they were leaving behind. Or worse, what theyโd be leaving me to face alone.โWe should go with you,โ Caleb spoke up, arms

SIERRAI stared at Ariel, my heart pounding, my hands clenched into fists. The invisible barrier behind me loomed like a silent threat, a cage I couldnโt see but could feel pressing down on me.โWhat do you mean we canโt leave?โ My voice came out sharp, demanding. I didnโt care. I wasnโt in the mood for Arielโs games.Ariel smiled, tilting her head as if I had just asked her something silly. โExactly what I said, Sierra. Youโre not going anywhere.โZane stepped forward, his body coiled tight like a spring ready to snap. His eyes flashed dangerously. โAre we under arrest or something?โAriel giggled, the sound as light as air yet carrying an underlying weight that sent a shiver down my spine. โOh, no, no, no. Nothing so formal.โ She waved a delicate hand, dismissing the idea as if it were ridiculous. โI just like to know where everyone is. Canโt have people sneaking off and plotting against me, now, can I?โI scoffed, crossing my arms over my chest. โWhy would anyone plot against you?โ

SIERRAI watched Ariel giggle as she turned away, her heels clicking against the ground like she had all the time in the world. My fists clenched, nails digging into my palms so hard it hurt. She was enjoying thisโwatching us struggle, watching me struggle. Like we were just pieces in her twisted little game.This wasnโt over. Not by a long shot.My breath came sharp and uneven, but I forced myself to stand taller. I wasnโt going to let her see even a hint of weakness.โSierra,โ Dane called, his voice tight with urgency. โBreak the spell.โThe others murmured their agreement, their desperation thick in the air. Some were pacing, some just standing frozen, their eyes darting between me and the shimmering barrier that trapped us. Even the strongest among them looked shaken.Fear clung to them, and I could feel it crawling up my own spine, cold and heavy. But I shoved it down, refusing to give it power.I wasnโt about to let Ariel win.I stepped forward, placing my hands against the invi

SIERRAI groaned as I tried to push myself up, but my body refused. Every limb felt heavy, and my energy was completely drained. The boys hovered over me, their faces tight with worry. Ariel stood a few feet away, arms crossed, smirking like she was enjoying every second of this.โWow, Sierra,โ Ariel cooed, tilting her head. โYou look terrible.โI glared up at her, too weak to do much else. โGo to hell.โShe laughed, the sound light and mocking. โNot my problem, sweetheart. You have until sundown to figure it out. After that, whatever happens isnโt on me.โ She spun on her heel, sauntering off like she had all the time in the world.Dane cursed under his breath. โWe need to get you home.โZane nodded, kneeling beside me. โCome on. Iโll carry you.โI wanted to protest, but I knew I couldnโt walk on my own. With a sigh, I let him lift me, my head resting against his shoulder as exhaustion pulled at me.By the time we got back, Mom was already calling. Kane answered for me and put her on

SIERRAโI said I was going,โ I snapped, pushing past Dane and Zane. My legs felt like jelly, but I didnโt care. โThat boy needs help, and Iโm not sitting around while he dies.โโSierra, stop.โ Dane grabbed my arm, his grip firm but careful, like he was afraid Iโd fall apart. โYouโre barely standing. You canโt go.โโIโm fine.โ I shook him off, even though I wasnโt. My head spun, and my entire body felt like it had been through a blender. My legs trembled like they might give out any second, but I gritted my teeth and took a step toward the door anyway. โIโm going.โโNo, youโre not.โ Zane stepped in front of me, blocking the door. His stance was firm, unyielding. His jaw tightened, and his eyes blazed with that unmistakable alpha authority that made my wolf bristle in defiance. His gaze held an unspoken command, daring me to challenge him.I glared at him, fists clenched at my sides. โMove.โโNo.โ His voice was low, dangerous. There was no room for negotiation in that single word. โYou

SIERRA"Then itโs settled," I said firmly, standing up straighter, lifting my chin with determination. "Iโll learn. Iโll transfer the bond to an animal. Something harmless. A rabbit or a bird, anything."For a moment, the warlock just stared at me. Then he let out a loud laugh, an honest, surprised, borderline mocking kind of laugh that made my stomach twist."Your lack of magical understanding is quite admirable," he said, still chuckling, wiping the corner of his eye with a bony finger. "You truly are brave, I'll give you that. But no, Sierra. You canโt just toss a blood bond onto a bird like itโs a coat. Thatโs not how this works."My eyebrows furrowed as the bubble of hope that had been fluttering in my chest deflated completely. "Butโฆ why not? Why canโt I? I donโt understand."He shook his head and folded his hands over his lap. His voice turned softer now, more like a teacher speaking to a stubborn student. "Because blood bonds require something animals donโt have. A soul capabl

SIERRAI stormed into the warlock's study, my chest tight with frustration and my fists clenched at my sides. The room smelled like old paper and burnt herbs, the air thick with the scent of magic and mystery. He looked up from the book he was reading, his brows already furrowed as if he knew why I was there."Tell me everything you know about blood bonds," I said without wasting a second. My voice was sharp, determined. I didnโt care how it came out. I needed answers.The warlock paused, his long fingers lingering on the weathered pages of the book he had just been flipping through. Slowly, almost dramatically, he closed the book and leaned back in his wooden chair. The silence between us stretched a little too long.โWhy do you ask?โ he said at last, his voice calm, but I caught the tension under it."Ariel mentioned it," I replied, trying to stay calm. "She said what she has with my sister is a blood bond."The moment the words left my mouth, I saw his expression shift. The color d

SIERRAI stood frozen, my eyes wide and my stomach turning. The rabbits werenโt moving anymore. The white one had stopped twitching first, then the brown one slumped beside it. My hands were still outstretched, fingers trembling as the energy from the failed spell faded into the air like smoke.The silence that followed was unbearable. It was as if the whole world had paused to judge me, to make me feel the weight of what I had just done. I couldnโt breathe. I couldnโt even blink. All I could do was stare at what my magic had done.The warlock didnโt say anything at first. He just walked up to the small wooden pen, stood over the lifeless bodies, and looked down with a heavy sigh. His face gave nothing away, no anger, no sadness, just quiet acceptance of the outcome. Then he slowly turned to face me."This," he said, his voice low and sharp like a blade slicing through still air, "is what would have happened to your sister and Ariel if you had jumped into this blindly."The words hit

SIERRAI had just finished spending time with my mates. My body still felt warm, and for once, my mind was quiet. I was finally beginning to feel like myself again.But then I heard shouting from outside.My heart jumped. I threw on a robe and rushed out.I barely made it past the hallway before I saw everyone gathered in the courtyard. And in the middle of it allโฆ Ariel. Screaming. Crying. Holding a knife.โWhat the hell?โ I whispered under my breath, my eyes widening.โI said let me in!โ she yelled, her voice cracking. โYouโre not the only one who loves them! I deserve to be in there too!โShe was pointing the knife at her own chest, trembling like she was seconds away from doing something stupid.I didnโt even think twice.I raised my hand and whispered the first protection spell that came to mind. A shield burst around her in a dome of blue light. The moment it closed around her, the knife fell from her hand and clattered to the floor.She looked around in confusion, then rage.โW

ARIELI paced the hallway, scowling, my arms folded tightly across my chest. For the fifth time, I tried to step forward, right into the damn hallway, and for the fifth time, it felt like Iโd slammed into a wall. But there was no wall. Justโฆ air. Heavy, invisible, and impossible to pass through."What the hell is going on?" I growled, pushing again, harder this time. Nothing. It was like the space itself refused to let me through. My breath hitched as anger flared in my chest. I wasnโt someone who got denied things. Not rooms. Not people. Not Dane.I turned on my heels and stormed down the hallway, heading straight for Mayaโs quarters. If anyone knew what kind of stupid magic trick was being pulled, it had to be Sierra. I knew her mother was always around the others. Always listening. Watching, and I needed to see her, and I asked what the hell was going on.When I got to her door, I didnโt knock, I kicked it. Hard.โAriel?โ Mayaโs voice called out, soft and hesitant. She opened the d

SIERRAThe warmth of their arms around me made it easier to breathe. The tension that had wrapped around my chest like a tight rope was starting to loosen, bit by bit. Zaneโs steady heartbeat under my cheek, Daneโs arms around my waist, and the calmness in Kaneโs eyes, everything felt safe here. I felt like I was finally home.But it wasnโt just the comfort. It was the way they looked at me. The way they held me was like I was the most precious thing in the world. Like theyโd fight the stars if it meant keeping me safe. I hadnโt realized how much I needed them until this moment. I needed to feel wanted, needed to be touched, loved, needed to feel alive again.โIโve missed this,โ I whispered, glancing up at Zane, my fingers gently resting on his chest.โWeโve missed you more,โ he replied softly, brushing his lips over my forehead.โI donโt like seeing you this stressed,โ Dane murmured behind me, nuzzling into the crook of my neck. โLet us help you relax.โKane was kneeling beside me ag

SIERRAI ran out of the room angrily and frustrated. I didnโt want to talk to anyone. I didnโt want to explain how I felt, not even to Alpha Thane. I just needed to get away, to let the frustration and fear out in a way that made sense. And thatโs why I shifted.The air felt cold on my fur as I ran, my paws pounding the earth beneath me, my mind barely able to process anything except the need to escape. My heart was racing, and the adrenaline pumping through my body only made the anger and fear swirl together like a violent storm.I ran deeper into the woods, ignoring the world around me, just focused on the rhythmic pounding of my paws. The trees blurred by in a mixture of green and brown, the earth beneath me firm and solid. But even in my wolf form, the worry gnawed at my insides, and all I wanted was for the weight to lift, even if just for a moment.Eventually, the tension in my body started to ease just a little, but I wasnโt running anymore. I slowed down and then stopped, my b

SIERRAI walked into the room, my mind racing with questions. The man, the warlock, was standing by a table covered in books and strange artifacts. His eyes flickered up when I entered, and I could feel the weight of his gaze. He knew why I was here."You are here," he said, his voice calm but heavy with something I couldn't place.I didn't waste time with pleasantries. "I need your help," I said bluntly. "I need to learn how to use my powers. And I need to do it fast."The warlock raised an eyebrow, his expression unreadable. "Binding spells," he said slowly, almost to himself, "are tricky. Especially one like the one you're asking for."I didnโt have the patience for his caution. "I donโt care about how tricky it is," I snapped. "I need to stop her. Ariel is... sheโs going to ruin everything. I canโt let that happen. I just need to know how to make it work."He looked at me, the seriousness in his eyes growing. "Binding spells are not something to take lightly. They tie you to someo

SIERRAI could feel my whole body burning with anger as Arielโs voice cut through the garden like a sharp knife. She just stood there, smirking at us like she hadnโt just interrupted something important, something real.I turned to her, fists clenching at my sides. "Donโt you have anything better to do than irritate me?" I snapped, my voice louder than I intended. Dane shifted uncomfortably behind me, but I didnโt care. I was tired of her games.Ariel just giggled like I had told her a joke. "Nope," she said with a sweet shrug. "Turns out, irritating you is way more fun than I ever thought it would be."I wanted to slap that smug smile off her face. I really did. But I held myself back because that's exactly what she wanted, to push me until I broke.Then she turned her full attention to Dane, her smile softening in a way that made my stomach twist in disgust. "I miss Dane," she said in a whiny voice. "I want him to stay with me for a while."I stepped protectively in front of Dane w
