Three days after the battle, we gathered to honor our dead.

Seventeen pyres.

 Seventeen lives lost to Aldric's betrayal and ambition.

Marcus's pyre stood at the center. 

The largest. 

Not because he was more important than the others—every life was precious. 

But because he was Beta. Because his sacrifice had saved us all.

I stood before it, with Alaric bundled peacefully against my chest in his wrap.&nbs

    I looked at Kael and nodded. Just then Erica ran into the room. Worry marked her face. “Mom, my Sight saw it. Many injured. A kid is trapped under a beam. You need to come now.”Her voice caught in her throat.I pulled her into a hug. I knew her Sight brought pain when it showed lives slipping away. Kael glanced at me, then at Erica. “I will coordinate the rescue. Do not worry.”Not long after Kael left, Helena arrived at our door. “Luna, a barracks is about to collapse. People remain inside. The snow weighs too heavy. Can you come with me and use your Moonbane power to hold it steady? We must get everyone out.”I looked at Alaric, still asleep in his crib. “I will return soon,” I told Erica. “Watch your brother.”Erica nodded with force.The east wall had become a wreck. An entir

    “Are you crazy?” Theron said. “That place devours wolf souls.”“I know,” Kael answered. “But my ally is different. He can move between realms. He has a way to make Alaric’s wolf soul dormant instead of destroyed.”“Dormant?” I asked, confusion rising. “I have never heard of such magic.”“Because he is not a pure-blood wolf,” Kael explained. “He is mixed. Half wolf, half vampire. During my exile I saved his life. He swore an oath to protect my bloodline.”I stared at Kael. Two hundred years of wandering, and he had spoken little about those days.“Are you sure he can protect Alaric’s wolf soul?” I asked.“I am sure,” he said without hesitation. “The Darklands are the perfect hiding place. No wolf would da

    The snow had stopped for three days. From sunrise to sunset, the training grounds at Blackriver stayed filled with footsteps and the clang of weapons. The new refugees now kept pace with basic moves. They still moved with some clumsiness, but the terror that once filled their eyes had begun to fade.I stood on the wall and watched them below. Kael occupied the center of the field. He demonstrated a side block. His movements came so fast that details blurred, yet every step landed with precision. Theron worked on the other side. He coached the younger warriors. His voice carried across the open space. “Keep your feet steady. Do not just throw punches.”Kids chased each other along the edges of the training grounds. Their laughter rose on the wind. The scene looked peaceful from above. I knew better.Helena climbed the stairs. She carried two mugs of hot tea. “How long have you been stand

    The very next morning everything shifted faster than I expected. Three separate groups arrived at our borders. Messengers from neighboring packs stood waiting. They had heard what we offered—refuge for those who fled talk of standing together against common threats. Now they were keen to join the effort.One messenger spoke for Alpha Cassia of Riversong. “She offers full alliance. Warriors, if you need them. Food stores. Anything required to hold the line.”Another came from Ironwood. “We lost strong wolves to the Crimson Moon’s promises. Lies pulled them away. We cannot face this enemy alone anymore.”The third represented Clearwater. “Together we stand. That is what we have always believed. Now we put action behind the words.”I looked at Theron and Kael. Hope rose hard in my chest. This was truly happening. Packs that once kept dist

    Three months had passed since the battle that changed everything. Winter arrived in Moonstone with a gentle touch. Light snow covered the ground. The cold nipped at cheeks but never dug deep enough to freeze bones. It felt as if the world had decided to grant us space. Time to draw breath. Time to mend what had broken. No sudden storms arrived to test us further.Alaric had reached three months of age. Each day brought new surprises. He could sit upright on his own. His small back stayed straight as though he practiced in secret moments. He reached for toys with clear purpose instead of random swings of his arms. Soft cooing sounds left his mouth. They carried hints of real words forming underneath.One morning sunlight streamed through the window. I sat rocking him in the quiet light. He turned his head and fixed those large, knowing eyes on me. Then the word came, clear and steady. “Mama.”

    The lantern flame flickered between us, casting soft shadows across the tent walls. I kept my hand on his chest, feeling the steady beat beneath my palm while Alaric slept soundly nearby. The weight of everything he had already shared lingered, but I sensed the hardest part was still coming.“Aldric returned as the full Lycan King,” Kael said. “He stood at our border with an army behind him. He looked harder than I remembered, colder. He called me by name like no time had passed at all. He said he wanted to make an offer to our Alpha. One look at his face told me everything. He wanted you. He wanted Alaric’s power. He wanted control over everything we had built.”I remembered that day clearly. The memory still sent a chill through me.“I watched you step forward,” Kael continued. “You asked him to get lost. No hesitation. I was proud as hell in that m

    We walked out together, the rest of the council following close behind.The pack formed a loose circle around us as Aldric stopped twenty feet away."Brother," Aldric said. His voice was exactly like Kael's but rougher, worn down by guilt and poor choices."You've got balls showing your face here,"

    The sky was still dark when three forces moved out of Black River territory. My heart pounded as I watched Kael's force disappear into the trees, knowing I wouldn't see him again until this was over—one way or another.I couldn't see it, but I felt it through our bond—Kael leading fifteen hundred

    "And if the code's been changed since you left?" Liana pressed."Then we improvise." Julia's smile was grim. "I'm good at improvising."Erica spoke up from her corner, her voice quiet but confident. "I can sense corruption through the walls. If there are guards nearby, I'll know.""Good." I marked
