When alone and unoccupied, the Great Hall was a different place.

The stone tables, all long, the banners, the frozen fire at the extreme end of it all—everything of it seemed diminished somehow, as though the chamber had drawn breath since the pack had swept away.

The fingers of Rollins were still interwoven with mine. Neither of us stood up to take his departure.

    When alone and unoccupied, the Great Hall was a different place.The stone tables, all long, the banners, the frozen fire at the extreme end of it all—everything of it seemed diminished somehow, as though the chamber had drawn breath since the pack had swept away.The fingers of Rollins were still interwoven with mine. Neither of us stood up to take his departure."We would sort it out," he said. I did go on turning that over in my mind, and troublesome it was to feel how heavy a stone I was not convinced it would be. Together. Like it was simple. As though I had not just gone in the presence of our whole pack and told them I was a thing none of them thoroughly knew yet."You shaking yet?" Rollins asked in a low tone.I hadn't noticed. I peered down at my hand that was free, and he was right—there was a gentle trembling, though hardly noticeable."I’m fine," I said."Emily."Just my name. Nothing else. But the manner he did it stayed the lie out of me."I am not fine," I replied. "But

    Dawn came whether I was ready for it or not. Most of the night, I had been sitting still as I watched the fire in the hearth diminish to a low amber and listened to the sound of Rollins breathing beside me. Steady. Even. It was the type of rest that would be afforded by a man who understood how to bear the burden of the world and nevertheless get rest under it. I envied that. My mind was like a wheel that could not be turned off by the words of Marcus, the looks of the pack watching me, and the name of Everett that was in my heart like a rock that had no mind of moving. Pale light was filtering through the slender window in our room when I was already standing, clad in my plain linen gown and standing in front of the hearth with my arms crossed across myself. The coals were nearly cooled down. I stirred inaudibly and saw the dim sparkles commence and expire. "You didn't sleep." The voice of Rollins had been low and slow and it had been behind me. I did not wheel round. "I

    The stroll to Ironclaw took longer than it ought to. By the time I looked over the tree line, which divided Shadowcrest and open country, the moon was rising, and the cold had made teeth chatter. I drew my cloak still warmer round, my feet sinking in the frost-bitten ground. Marcus said something to me that followed me like smoke that I could not escape. “You are the key to something bigger than getting packs together.” I did not want to become a key. I did not want to be a weapon, a prophecy, or a load in a lineage of blood. But I was accustomed quickly to the sensation of being desired, of belonging somewhere, even before the ground ceased being under my feet. Before I could reach the outer wall, the torches at the gate of Ironclaw were lit, and the flames were being blown about by the night wind. As I went under the sentries on the parapet, they looked down. One nodded. The other turned a blind eye. I noticed that. The manner in which eyes drifted off me now in uncertainty,

    Marcus’s words lingered long after he walked away. “There are things you don’t understand yet.” What could he possibly know about my powers or my heritage that I didn’t? It gnawed at me as I paced back and forth in the clearing, the cool evening air doing little to calm the storm inside. Rollins had left to handle pack business, leaving me alone with my thoughts—a dangerous thing, given the weight of what had just transpired. I couldn’t get Marcus out of my head. His offer to train me, the intensity in his eyes, and his cryptic words—it all pointed to something more. Something he was holding back. And I hated that. I hated the feeling of not being in control, of not knowing the full picture. I needed answers. Now. The night air was cool as I stepped into Shadowcrest territory, my heart pounding in my chest. The memories of rejection and humiliation haunted every step I took. Bu

    Emily’s POV: My breath hitched as Liam’s words sank in. The weight of them felt like a boulder crashing onto my chest. “Everett…” I whispered, my voice trembling. “No…” I had never met him, but Mia had told me enough. Everett had been loyal to Cassandra, a part of her schemes. He wasn’t innocent, but still… I killed him. I stared down at my hands again, my fingers trembling. How could something that came from me, something that I couldn’t control, take someone’s life? I felt Rollins step closer, his warmth trying to soothe me, but it wasn’t enough to chase away the dread growing inside me. "Emily," Liam's voice was soft, but there was something uneasy in his tone. "He wasn't one of us. Everett's betrayal... he deserved what came to him. But still, this power you have..." I swallowed hard, blinking away the tears forming in my eyes. “I didn’t mean to. I didn’t want to kill anyone.” Rollins took my hand, his grip firm but gentle. “You didn’t know, Emily. You were trying to

    Marcus's POV The moment Emily’s power surged through me, I expected agony. But instead, the pain that had once gripped my body began to fade. My wounds, which had seemed so severe, were closing, the skin knitting itself back together as though the injury had never existed. I could feel it her power, coursing through me, not as an attack but as something else entirely. Healing. As Leon and the others helped me back to our territory, I was already standing on my own, walking steadily beside them. They exchanged glances, clearly puzzled by my sudden recovery, but no one dared say a word. When we arrived back at the pack, the others stared in silence, their eyes wide with both relief and uncertainty. I could feel their confusion their Alpha had returned, seemingly unscathed, but something had shifted. It wasn’t just the wound that had healed; there was a palpable tension in the air, a sense that everything had changed the moment Emily had intervened. Leon was the first to break the si

    Later that evening, I found myself pacing around my small apartment, my mind racing with everything that had happened. My conversation with Mia earlier hadn’t exactly calmed me down. She had been supportive as always, but there was something in her eyes, a mix of worry and curiosity that made me eve

    Emily's POVThe rogue’s grip tightened painfully on my arm, and his sneer grew wider as he leaned closer. “What’s the hurry, little wolf? There’s no need to be shy.” His voice was a mixture of mockery and menace. He brought his hand up, tracing a finger down my cheek, and I recoiled, but he only tigh

    After breakfast, I found myself standing outside the Alpha's quarters, my heart pounding in my chest. The events of the morning had left me on edge, and now, as I waited for Rollins, the tension coiled tighter inside me. I couldn't stop replaying his words in my mind, wondering what he could possibl

    “I want to help,” I said, surprising even myself with the firmness in my voice. “I will like to start training with the others.” Rollins’s eyebrows shot up in surprise, and for a moment, he just looked at me, like he was trying to figure out if I was serious. “Emily, you’ve been through a lot. You n
