Korra stood alone, shaking so hard she could barely breathe. And as she collapsed to her knees, her heart pounding in her ears, she didn’t know what to believe anymore.

The cold earth struck her palms and seeped through her bones. Her breath came in short, broken bursts, fogging in the night air. The world around her blurred, and the trees melted into shadows.

She clutched her stomach, curling forward until her forehead nearly touched the grass.

“No… no,” she whispered, her voice cracking raw and small. “He’s lying… he has to be lying…”

A sob tore from her chest, violent and uncontrollable.

Lucien’s words echoed in her mind. “Your mother’s death was no accident.

She was hunted.”

She squeezed her eyes shut so hard they ached.

Her mother’s face rose behind her eyes, warm brown eyes, soft smile, hair pinned back loosely as she prepared herbs in their old wooden bowl. Her mother had always been gentle, soft-spoken, and warm.

Korra remembered sitting in her lap by the fire, the feel of h

    Korra found Kael in their chambers, studying the maps of Eastern Ridge territory. He looked up when she entered, his expression softening immediately."There you are. I was starting to worry." He crossed to her, pulling her into his arms. "Are you feeling better? You looked pale during the meeting.""I'm fine," she said, then caught herself. "Actually, that's not true, I'm not fine. I'm terrified and overwhelmed, and I have something I need to tell you."Concern flooded his face. "What's wrong? Is it the curse? Did something…""I'm pregnant."The words came out in a rush, barely coherent. Kael froze, his hands still on her shoulders, his eyes wide."You're... what?""Pregnant. With your child, our child. The prophecy child, probably, given the timing and the way Thalia's test reacted." She was babbling now, the words tumbling out faster than she could organize them. "I know the timing is terrible, with the summit and my father and everything else, but I thought you should know, and I

    PRESENT DAY"I should have killed him," Rhyker said, slamming his fist on the table. "The moment he attacked our territory, the moment he tried to sell his own daughter. I should have ended him then and there.""Why didn't you?" Korra asked quietly.Rhyker looked at her, and for the first time, she saw something like regret in his eyes. "Because Kael asked me not to. Because you had already lost so much, and he thought... we both thought maybe you would need closure, need to confront him yourself someday." He shook his head. "I was weak, sentimental, and now he's coming back with an army.""Then we fight," Kael said firmly. "We have beaten him before; we will beat him again.""With two hundred rogues?" Vera challenged. "We are strong, but not that strong. Not if they coordinate properly.""We call for aid from our allies," Seline suggested. "The Northern Peaks, the River Valley packs…""Who are already stretched thin dealing with their own border issues," Rhyker interrupted. "Issues t

    Three weeks after Harkin's arrest, peace seemed to have settled over Moonhowl. The cursed mark was gone from Korra's hand, replaced by the silver healer's sigil that gleamed faintly whenever she used her magic. The council had grudgingly accepted her position as Luna candidate, but it was the black feather on the windowsill that haunted her dreams.She had shown it to Rhyker the morning after it appeared. He studied it with grim recognition, then ordered it burned and the ashes scattered. "A calling card," he said. "Someone wants us to know that they are watching.The third conspirator was still out there, and now, three weeks later, a new threat was emerging from an unexpected direction.Korra stood in the war room, studying the map spread across the table. Red markers indicated recent rogue attacks, five in the past two weeks, all coordinated, all targeting Moonhowl's outer territories."They are testing our defenses," Vera said, pointing to the pattern. "Probing for weaknesses.""

    "No," Korra breathed. "That's impossible.""Is it?" Lucien's voice was soft. "Harkin was one of the three your mother identified in her journal. One of the original conspirators who started selling healer information to hunters thirty years ago. Castor discovered the connection, confronted Harkin privately, and paid for it with his life."Harkin's face had gone deathly pale. "This is a fabrication, some trick…""The crystal doesn't lie," Lucien said. "And neither does this."He threw another item onto the table, a bloodstained knife with Harkin's personal seal on the hilt."Found in the hidden compartment of your chambers," Lucien said. "Along with payment records, communication crystals linked to known hunter groups, and a very interesting ledger detailing every Silvercrest healer you helped capture over the past three decades."Harkin lunged for the door, but Kael was faster. He slammed the elder against the wall, his hand at the older wolf's throat."You murdered Castor," Kael snar

    He kissed her, swallowing the rest of her words in a desperate, consuming kiss. His hands moved to her waist, pulling her closer, and she went willingly, eagerly, pouring everything she couldn't say into the kiss."I love you too. So much it terrifies me sometimes. The thought of losing you…""You won't," Korra promised, even though they both knew it was a lie. The curse, the conspiracy, the hunters, any of it could take her away. But she refused to let fear steal what little time they had.She kissed him again, this time slower, caressing his tongue with her lips as she enjoyed the way he tasted of coffee and cinnamon. His hands tangled in her hair, loosening the braid until dark waves spilled over her shoulders."Korra," he murmured against her lips. "We should stop. You're exhausted, and with the curse…""I don't want to stop," she said, surprising herself with the certainty in her voice. "I'm tired of waiting, tired of letting fear control my choices. I want this… I want you."She

    Korra's hands shook as she read and reread the words. Her mother had known and had tried to expose the conspiracy, and had died running from it."So Castor wasn't just investigating current corruption," Kael said slowly. "He was following a trail that went back decades. A conspiracy your mother discovered before she fled Silvercrest.""And someone killed him to keep it buried," Thalia finished.Rhyker's eyes blazed with cold fury. "Which means we have a murderer in this pack. Someone with enough power and access to frame Korra, kill Castor, and hide in plain sight.""Verran's in the cells," Mara pointed out. "It can't be him.""No," Rhyker agreed. "But he wasn't working alone. We need to find his accomplices before they kill again."A commotion outside drew their attention. Raised voices and the sound of struggle.They rushed to the windows to see warriors dragging someone across the courtyard, a young man in council robes, fighting every step."That's Aldric," Kael identified him.
