Cassian's POV

I’d noticed Kira being captured via Elara, deeply and painfully and intimately, which was one of the reasons I hated her tag-along so much: she still talked through matings; they were a part of our lives that never stopped. She took a sudden breath and clutched my arm with agonizing desperate strength that would leave bruises.

“Something is wrong,” she said in an urgent voice. Her face had gone pale. "Something horrible happened at the Goddess Circle. One of them is in agony. I ca

    Lyra's POVI sounded the alarm from Grandmother Thea straight away in both the Goddess Circle and Pure Packs leadership by emergency channels. This couldn’t wait for proper diplomacy or careful political maneuvering. The stakes were too great and the timeline too short.When I told Rowan about the Malachai connection in detail at our emergency meeting, she was truly horrified. His immediate reaction showed me beyond the shadow of a doubt that he genuinely hadn’t known about this dire side effect. His face drained of color as he processed the implications.“We can adjust the ritual,” he insisted instantly with frantic urgency. “Redirect the scattered power to a safe? place, not towards Malachai’s seal. There has to be a way we can regulate where the energy is going."But magical scholars from both factions, collaborating for the first time in this crisis, confirmed that the problem was much deeper than simple modification might be able to address. They spent days combing through the ri

    Draven's POVThe Goddess Circle convened an emergency session to vote on allowing the territorial referendum that could end their existence altogether. The meeting was in the ancient stone circle where the Circle had originally come together when Lyra had made her desperate gamble, which seemed grimly appropriate given what we were now discussing.The fight was fierce and intensely personal from the start. These were not figments of abstract philosophical speculation in comfort. These were life-and-death choices of whether to gamble everything they had come to be.Those who had experienced the brunt of the former Council's tyranny viewed an extension of the vote as a tribute to the basic principles they had stood for. Mira sounded in not a little articulate on denying wolves choice would turn them into precisely what they’d got rid of.“We fought for autonomy,” she said clearly. “For the right of wolves to choose their destiny free from power over them from above. If we take that choi

    Cassian's POVI did everything I could, working frantically and desperately against the clock to avert full on war between divine and non-divine factions of all religions as it became clear that all hell was breaking loose with the speed of nature’s most terrifying momentum. Packs of all kinds were mobilizing forces throughout the territories. Taking noticeable differences based on core beliefs. Bracing for violent conflict that threatened to destroy all we had painstakingly constructed in months of reform.My own Silverfang pack was profoundly and painfully split on the key issue at stake. Some wolves sided completely and unequivocally with the Goddess Circle, considering divine power to be true protection and blessing. Others were much more sympathetic to the Pure Packs Alliance, seeing their cause as valid opposition to authority that had never been voted on in the first place.Elara did her best to keep the pack united, but the philosophical rift was too profound and foundational

    Lyra's POVI scrutinized Astrid’s intelligence myself and closely, needing to confirm the assertions before making any decisions that might lead to war. The evidence was deeply troubling but maddeningly not definitive in any straightforward sense. Communications that could be read in various different ways depending on your conclusions about intent. Reports from intermediaries whose credibility I could not judge without revealing our own intelligence networks. Intelligence obtained through enchanted surveillance that could have been compromised, or purposefully warped, to prompt precisely this kind of reaction.It could be actual evidence of Pure Packs treachery and prospective aggression toward the Goddess Circle. Or it might be cherry-picking by Circle members who, at heart, were opposed to any co-existence with non-devine wolves and simply wanted rationalization for military action first.I extended my Guardian senses and reached carefully into the Pure Packs territories myself. At

    Draven's POVFrom there I traveled directly to the southern territories to have a firsthand look at the Pure Packs Alliance. I had to determine whether this was simple rebellion or something more serious and potentially threatening to everything we’d built over the past months.What I discovered was anything but straightforward. This wasn’t just angry traditionalist wolves trying to prevent change they feared and didn’t understand. It was a real ideological movement with consistent principles, an organized structure that reminded me, uncomfortably, of my own rogue days.The Alpha leader of the Alliance, a fellow named Rowan, was more principled and thoughtful than tyrannical or reactionary. When I asked to speak with him, he agreed to meet me at once. Were transparent about what the Alliance wanted to do and why not in a cover up fashion or evasively.“It’s not that we are against reform or progress,” Rowan said carefully on our first interview in his modest territory headquarters. “W

  • Now, The Alpha Wants Me Back   116

    Cassian's POVDespite desperate early efforts to keep it from getting out, Thalia's confession about the visions was swiftly leaked beyond the Goddess Circle. Such explosive and theologically disturbing information there was no way it could possibly remain a secret in a world of interlocking pack networks, telepathic connections between Circle members who regularly spoke to their own packs and families.Eager to know the truth about these revelations, I immediately investigated the claims. I drew from ancient texts locked away in archives that had been forgotten by most wolves for centuries. And talked a lot to the oldest wolves in the territories who told me carefully maintained oral histories that spanned generations. Consulted with obscure scholars who specialized in divine history and mythology instead of practical pack governance.What I found haunted me deeply, if not fundamentally. There was a great deal of credible evidence that the origin story of the Moon Goddess had been sa
