The scream didn’t come from the battlefield.

It came from inside the walls.

I turned before anyone else moved.

“Mira.”

Kael was already running.

I followed.

The courtyard blurred as we pushed through rushing wolves and shouting guards. The roar from the broken ground outside still echoed across the valley, but something else cut through it.

Fear.

Sharp.

Young.

Mira stood near the center of the courtyard, hands clenched at her sides.

Her eyes glowed.

Not softly.

Not controlled.

Wild.

    The arguing started before the blood dried.“You don’t get to decide this alone!”A chair scraped hard across stone as an elder stood.“We follow order, not fear,” another snapped.“And what you saw out there was not order.”I stood at the center of the hall, silent.Let them speak.Let them show themselves.The council chamber of Frostveil felt smaller than usual. Too many leaders. Too much tension. The air held the weight of what they had witnessed outside.Power.Mine.And they didn’t know where they stood with it.Rowan leaned against a pillar, arms crossed. Watching.Darian stood near the doors, blocking any quick exit. Also watching.Mira sat quietly beside him.Listening.Learning.Kael stood apart from the main circle.Not at my side.Not among the elders.Somewhere in between.That alone told them everything.Elder Varik slammed his fist against the table.“We cannot allow one person to hold this much control!”A murmur spread.Agreement.Fear.Support.All mixed.Another eld

    The second creature didn’t hesitate.It burst through the broken ground and slammed into the outer wall before anyone could react.“Positions!” Rowan roared.The impact shook the tower beneath my feet.“More coming,” Mira said, her voice tight.I didn’t look away from the ridge.Shapes moved under the snow.Fast.Too many.Kael stepped beside me. “We can’t hold this line if they all surface at once.”“We don’t let them,” I said.Darian barked from below, “Gate team ready!”I turned. “Open halfway. Funnel them in. Same formation.”Rowan glanced up at me. “Again?”“Yes.”“That worked once.”“It will work again.”Kael’s jaw tightened. “You’re risking yourself every time you step into that lane.”“I know.”“That’s not a plan.”“It’s the only one that gives us control.”The gate creaked open.A second creature lunged forward immediately.Faster than the first.Sharper.It didn’t pause at the threshold.“Brace!” Rowan shouted.Spears met its charge.It slammed into them, snapping two shafts

    The gates cracked before I gave the order.“Hold them!” Rowan shouted.The iron bars shook again, a deep impact from the other side. Snow fell from the arch. Wolves braced their shoulders against the wood. The roar outside rolled through the valley like thunder.“Not yet,” I said. “Wait.”Darian glanced at me. “You want them inside?”“I want them close.”Kael stepped to my side. “Risky.”“Yes.”Another hit. The hinges screamed.Mira stood behind us, steady now, her eyes clear. “They’re testing the barrier,” she said. “Not the gate.”I looked past the wood, past the fear, and felt it. Something pressed against the wards we set into the stones. Not claws. Not teeth. A slow push. Curious. Hungry.“Rowan,” I said, “pull the left flank back ten paces. Open the inner lane.”He blinked. “You’re making a corridor?”“Yes.”“For what?”“For control.”Darian grinned. “I like where this is going.”“Move,” I said.They moved.Wolves shifted into position, forming a narrow path from the gate to the

Move!”Darian stepped beside me.“What’s happening to her?”“I don’t know.”But I felt it.The bond.Not mine.Theirs.Kael slowed as he approached Mira.“Mira,” he said carefully.She turned toward him.And for a second, I saw it.Recognition.Then confusion.Then something deeper.“You,” she said.Her voice shook.Not weak.Unstable.Kael stopped a few steps away.“Yes.”Her gaze shifted to me.Then back to him.“Why doe

    The council doors slammed open before anyone could announce me.Every voice in the room stopped.I walked straight to the head of the table.No hesitation.No permission.Rowan leaned back in his chair and muttered, “Well… this should be interesting.”Darian crossed his arms.“Looks serious.”Mira stood near the window, watching quietly.Kael remained near the far wall.Still present.Still distant.I placed both hands on the table.“We’re done reacting,” I said.Silence answered me.“From this moment, we plan long term.”Rowan raised an eyebrow.“Define long term.”“Beyond the hunters.”Darian frowned.“And the monsters under the ground?”“Both.”Mira nodded slightly.“Good.”I pointed to the map spread across the table.“We’ve been fighting battle by battle. That ends now.”Rowan leaned forward.“So what’s the new plan?”I took a breath.“We build something that lasts.”Darian let out a short laugh.“You mean a kingdom?”“No.”“What then?”“Structure.”Mira’s gaze sharpened.“Explai

    The ground trembled beneath my boots.Not from hunters.From something deeper.I froze in the middle of the courtyard.Around me, warriors rushed toward the southern wall after Rowan’s warning. Snow scattered under their feet. Steel clanged. Voices rose in sharp orders.But the vibration under the stone floor lasted only a moment.Then it stopped.Darian noticed my pause.“You feel that?” he asked.“Yes.”Rowan turned.“What?”“The ground,” I said.He stomped once on the stone.“Feels normal to me.”Mira stepped beside me.Her eyes narrowed slightly.“No,” she murmured. “She’s right.”Rowan frowned.“You felt it too?”“Yes.”Kael moved closer to the wall, his gaze sweeping the mountains around the valley.“What kind of tremor?”“Short,” I replied. “But strong.”Darian shrugged.“Maybe one of the hunter wagons hit a rock.”“No,” Mira said.“That felt different.”The wind pushed through the courtyard gate, carrying the sharp scent of silver from the distant camps.Rowan sighed.“Great.

    The enemy king smiled like he already owned the ground beneath their feet.Black banners cut through the snow behind him. Hundreds of wolves stood at his back, silent, disciplined, waiting.On the Frostveil wall, warriors shifted, uneasy.Lyra stepped forward first.“I will handle this,” she said,

    “Do not take another step.”Rowan’s blade flashed into the narrow space between Kael and the child.The steel did not touch him, but it did not need to. The message landed just as sharp.Kael stopped mid-stride, his eyes darkening.“You are pointing a weapon at your Alpha,” he said quietly.“I am p

    “Stay away from me in the fight.”The words left my mouth before the war horn finished echoing across Frostveil.Kael stopped mid-step, his brows drawing together. Around us, wolves shifted into formation, the air thick with the metallic scent of fear and coming blood.“That is not a request you ge

Frostveil warriors lined the walls above, arr
