Chapter 7

Author: Redleaves
When the attendant informed me that Kael was requesting an audience, I was at the rune table, studying a grimoire.

The attendant bowed. "He said it's urgent."

I raised an eyebrow and decided to see him.

Consider it closing the book on the past.

Kael stood at the end of the corridor, his posture as arrogant as ever.

"Mara. Had enough?" He gave me a once-over. "Come back to Blackrock."

I closed the grimoire and looked at him flatly.

"I'm not throwing a tantrum. And I didn't run away."

Kael scoffed

    The moment Ivy's words landed, the square went deathly cold."She's not a white wolf," Ivy confirmed. "She has a rare congenital condition—albinism.""Impossible!" Mother's head snapped up. "Lila was born pure white!""Fur color doesn't prove bloodline." Ivy's voice was ice. "A true white wolf's spirit would never be this weak."Kael stepped in front of Lila. "It was just a fluke! Lila wasn't in good form—that's why she couldn't activate the barrier.""Exactly!" Father jumped in. "A simple mistake!"I didn't argue. I just pressed my hand to the Moon Tower's barrier core.The dormant runes blazed to life in an instant.The pack looked up at the protective barrier—and finally understood.For seven years, the one standing in that core had never been Lila.It had been me.The head elder walked onto the dais, his gaze passing over me and landing on the unconscious Lila."Mara. What is the meaning of this?"This time, no one could stop me from telling the truth.I laid it all out—everything

    Back at Blackrock, the moment I stepped off the carriage—Father's voice cut through like a whip. "Get to the Moon Tower. Activate the barrier. Now."I didn't move. "Post the announcement first."His eyes narrowed. "What announcement?"I whipped my head around and locked eyes with him.Father smiled. He spread his arms wide."Mara. Did you really think this was still the North? This is Blackrock. My word is law."My stomach dropped.The so-called announcement was nothing but bait to drag me back."I'm Mara—but I'm not just Mara. Don't forget—" I held his gaze, word by word. "I'm Mara North. A citizen of the North."The smile vanished from his face."As long as Fenraven blood runs in your veins—you obey me!"Alpha pressure slammed down like a hammer.I staggered—but before I could even brace myself, the six attendants behind me stepped forward at once.They threw back their cloaks. Silver wolf guard emblems gleamed.Six walls of pressure fused into a single barrier—and caught my father'

    Kael didn't leave the North.Instead, the entire Fenraven family showed up.Cyrus asked for my opinion first, then received them with me in the council's winter hall.Father's face was carved from stone, but he gritted his teeth and bowed to Cyrus anyway.Mother came to me first, both hands holding out the gray-blue moonstone."Mara, this is yours." Her voice cracked. "I took it back for you."I looked at the familiar stone. Reached out and took it.When I didn't push it away, hope flickered in her eyes."Mara—you kept it. Does that mean you're willing to forgive me?"I closed my fingers around the moonstone."It was always mine."The hope in her smile froze."I'm just taking back what belongs to me. That doesn't mean I forgive you."Her face went pale—like I'd stabbed her clean through.She looked down at her own hands and whispered, "What else do you want?""Nothing."I looked at her calmly. "You don't owe me anything else. And you don't get to ask me for anything else."Her shoulder

"You left without a word—what else would you call it?""That place wasn't my home."The smirk vanished from his face."Blackrock is where you were born. The Fenravens raised you for over twenty years—and now you're saying it's not home?""Blood doesn't automatically make a home."I held his gaze. "I've formally joined the North. My name is Mara North now."Kael's eyes went dark."Who gave you permission to sever ties without the Alpha's approval?"He stepped closer, letting his pressure bleed

    Lila's POVBy the time they returned from inspecting the silver fir pack, the sky had gone completely dark.Lila sat in the carriage, fingertips tracing the moonstone at her throat, a satisfied smile playing on her lips.The silver fir pack was richer than she'd imagined—two moonstone mines tucked within its borders.Father said that once she took over as Alpha, the land would officially pass into her name.Territory like that—it was only fitting for a noble white wolf.Back at the estate, Mother ordered the servants to prepare dinner.Everyone took their seats. Only when Mara's place stayed empty—did someone finally notice."Where's Mara?" Mother asked.The servant kept their head down. "Miss Mara left this morning with her bags. She hasn't returned."Mother's expression flickered. She rose and went straight to Mara's room.The room had nothing left—just a plain wooden bed and empty shelves.No note.Mother stood by the door, staring at the bare space, a flicker of confusion in her ey

    When I arrived at the North, Cyrus sent me straight to the best healing facility in the city.It normally only treated Northern nobility.Twelve wolf guards stood watch outside. No one got near without clearance.Cyrus even brought in his personal healer, Ivy, to mend my wolf spirit.Ivy pressed her hand over my heart, reading the state of my wolf spirit from the inside.Her face went grim."Your wolf spirit is dangerously weak—severe barrier backlash. You missed the optimal healing window by a long shot."She frowned. "Another half day, and you might never have shifted again."I stared at my palms.At Blackrock's Moon Tower, I'd passed out alone on that cold stone floor.No healer came. No one brought me so much as a pain draught.Lila was too busy soaking up the pack's praise. My parents and brother were too busy guarding her.No one cared whether the one who'd actually entered the core array would wake up at all.They'd even taken the moonstone that could have healed me.But none of
