"You need to pause all physical training immediately, Luna."

Dr. Thorne stood at the foot of the examination table, holding his metal clipboard with a firm grip. He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, offering a stern, uncompromising look.

Sitting on the edge of the paper-lined mattress, a frustrated sigh escaped my lips. I pulled the hem of my loose shirt down over my swollen stomach. "I just started getting my stamina back. I cannot just sit in a chair all day while this pac

    AUTHOR’S POV10 MILES AWAY. “Hold the eastern gate!”Alpha Torv screamed the order until his throat bled. Standing in the center of the Ashwood pack courtyard, he gripped his heavy iron broadsword with both hands. Rain poured from the pitch-black sky, turning the dirt beneath his boots into a slick, treacherous paste.Around him, sheer chaos reigned.Ashwood was a small, proud pack nestled deep in a rocky valley. They survived harsh winters and rogue attacks for generations. Tonight, none of their ancient defenses mattered. The wooden barricades still stood intact. The iron gates remained locked. Yet, death walked right through the walls.Pouring over the northern ridge, a massive wave of pure, faceless darkness flooded the valley. It did not roar. It did not sound war horns. The shadow moved with a silent, unnatural grace, swallowing the moonlight as it crept toward the packhouse.“Archers!” Torv bellowed, pointing his sword toward the creeping dark. “Fire!”Dozens of flaming arrows

    LARISSA"You need to pause all physical training immediately, Luna."Dr. Thorne stood at the foot of the examination table, holding his metal clipboard with a firm grip. He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, offering a stern, uncompromising look.Sitting on the edge of the paper-lined mattress, a frustrated sigh escaped my lips. I pulled the hem of my loose shirt down over my swollen stomach. "I just started getting my stamina back. I cannot just sit in a chair all day while this pack prepares for a war. I need to run drills. I need to keep my muscles active.""Your muscles are fine," the doctor countered smoothly. "But the sudden spike in amniotic pressure you experienced yesterday was a severe warning. Your body is adjusting to a Lycan pup possessing its own magical aura. Running laps and practicing combat maneuvers will only trigger another pressure drop.""So I do nothing?""You rest," Thorne instructed, pointing a pen at me. "You eat. You sleep. You allow your body to

    GODRIC“Lock down the eastern ridge and double the perimeter watch.”Stepping out of the armored transport, I threw my heavy leather coat to a waiting guard. Freezing rain lashed across the main courtyard of the West Pack fortress, turning the gravel into thick, gray mud. Silas fell into step beside me instantly. His scarred face remained rigid, but his eyes searched mine for answers.“Are we under attack, Alpha?” Silas asked, his boots crunching heavily against the wet stones.“Not yet,” I answered grimly, wiping the cold rain from my jaw. “But hell is marching toward our borders. The Silver Pine pack is gone. Four hundred wolves wiped off the map without a single drop of blood spilled.”Silas stopped dead in his tracks. A seasoned warrior who had survived decades of brutal warfare, my Gamma looked genuinely horrified. He gripped the hilt of his broadsword, his knuckles turning stark white.“Gone?” Silas echoed, his voice dropping to a rough whisper. “How do we fight something that d

    GODRIC“They did not even have time to scream, Alpha.”Looking down at the young scout, my expression remained perfectly blank. The boy trembled uncontrollably. His metal armor rattled against the hard stone floor of the war room. Fear rolled off his skin in thick, sour waves, filling the enclosed space with the scent of prey.“Explain the scene,” ordering him with a low, steady voice.Swallowing hard, the scout pointed a shaking finger at the large parchment map spread across the oak table. “We tracked the rogue trail deep into the neutral valley. We expected to find a heavily guarded camp. Instead, we found absolute silence. Three hundred bodies were scattered across the dirt. Nobody was holding a weapon. Some were sitting around dead campfires with food still in their hands. They just dropped dead where they stood.”“Did you find any tracks?” Silas asked, stepping out of the shadows. The Gamma rested his hand on the hilt of his broadsword. “Paw prints? Boot treads?”“Nothing, Gamma

    LARISSA “Are the cramps gone?”Godric’s deep voice cut through the quiet hum of the medical machinery.Opening my eyes, my vision slowly adjusted to the harsh fluorescent lights of the trauma room. He stood at the foot of my hospital bed. His broad shoulders blocked out the doorway, casting a long shadow across the white linoleum floor. Dark circles framed his storm-grey eyes, proving he had not slept a single minute since bringing me here.Shifting my weight against the pillows, a dull ache radiated through my lower back. The blinding, terrifying agony from the courtyard was gone, replaced by a lingering soreness.“I survived, if that is what you are asking,” replying with a sharp, defensive edge to my voice.Stepping closer, he did not take the bait. He dragged a plastic chair to the side of the mattress and sat down. His massive frame made the hospital furniture look like a fragile child's toy.“Dr. Thorne said the medication worked,” Godric noted, resting his thick forearms on hi

    AUTHOR’S POVGodric stood over the massive oak table in his war room.Flickering torchlight cast long, dancing shadows across the detailed maps of the continent. He traced a finger along the western river boundary, calculating the exact route Ryan’s hired mercenaries used to breach his defenses earlier that week.Silas stood nearby, sharpening a hunting knife with a whetstone. The rhythmic scraping sound filled the quiet room.The heavy iron doors swung open.Jax walked into the war room, his boots leaving wet tracks on the stone floor. He stopped a respectful distance from the table, bowing his head sharply."Alpha," Jax greeted. "The perimeter is secure. First watch is completed without any major incidents."Without looking up from the map, Godric acknowledged the guard. "Define major incidents.""A single rogue approached the western gate an hour ago," Jax reported, keeping his posture rigid. "He was unarmed and frantic. We searched him for explosives. He was clean.""Where is he n
