The Ironwood delegation arrives at dawn. That tells me everything I need to know about Donovan’s state of mind. Desperate men come early. Confident ones make you wait.

I stand in the great hall when they enter. The same hall where, four days ago, Donovan tried to turn my grief into a power grab. The same hall where I have barely slept since, coordinating reconstruction, managing refugees, and pretending my chest does not feel like it is caving in ever

    “They won’t move fast enough,” I cut in. “We probably have six months before Crimson Moon becomes a real threat. In that time we strengthen the kingdom, crush Ironwood, and prepare to bring Alaric home safely.”“Six months,” Martin repeats. “You want us to win a civil war, hold our allies, and break into a cursed realm in six months?”“Yes,” Kael and I answer at the same time.The room goes quiet for a beat. Then Theron leans forward.“So what’s the actual plan?”We spend the next two hours hammering it out.Ironwood comes first. They’re the immediate fire. We either pull them back in line or finish them. No more half measures.Second, we fix our alliances. Shadowpeak is slipping, but other packs are still watching. We need to show strength without looking like tyrants.Third, Erica tracks Crimson Moon. Her Sight will watch the Black Realm for any magical

    “Tell me more about her,” I say. “About Seraphine. What else did your source reveal?”I feel Kael relax slightly behind me. “He said she wasn’t always the Bloodmoon Prophet. Long ago she was just a powerful magic user who wanted to help. She dreamed of bringing peace between wolves, witches, and every other magical kind.”“What changed her?”“Her methods.” Kael’s voice stays low. “She decided that understanding wasn’t enough. Some people needed control for their own good. When others pushed back and rejected her ideas, she dug in deeper instead of backing off.”“And now?”“Now she believes real peace only comes through total control.” His tone turns darker. “For decades she’s worked to tear wolf society apart. Every fight, every border clash, every pack war—she either started it or kept it burning. All to prove we can’t ru

    “I realize the timing was terrible.”“The timing was shit, Kael!” My voice echoes off the walls. “Roderic is dead because I picked the wrong fight. Shadowpeak just slammed the door in my face because they think we’re weak. Four packs have already joined Donovan, and the rest are ready to jump ship. All of that happened while you were gone. So whatever you have to say, it better be worth abandoning me for three days.”Kael sets his glass down slowly. “I went north to meet someone who might have real answers about our true enemy.”“Crimson Moon?”“Bigger than Crimson Moon.” He looks me straight in the eyes. “The Bloodmoon Prophet. Seraphine.”The name hits me like cold water. We’ve suspected her hand in everything, but we never understood why.“What about her?” I ask.“There’s a man who knew her before she became the Prophet. Before

    Lydia freezes. “From everyone?”I feel something inside me crack. “From Crimson Moon. From the Bloodmoon Prophet. From anyone who wants to use him as a weapon or a bargaining chip. He’s only six, Lydia. He shouldn’t have to carry a prophecy on his back. He shouldn’t be a pawn. That’s why I’m keeping his location secret. The second anyone finds out where he is, he becomes a target again.”Lydia exhales slowly. “I get it. I really do. But you have to see my side too. I can’t send my wolves to war based on secrets and half-truths. I need real honesty.”“And if I give you that honesty, how long before it leaks to Donovan? Or Crimson Moon? Or whoever else wants to hurt him?” I shake my head. “I can’t take that risk.”“Then you can’t have my loyalty.”“There has to be some middle ground,” I say. “Some way we can work toget

    She’s younger than I expected. Around forty. Sharp eyes and dark hair with silver streaks.Lydia watches me walk up. I can see her weighing every step I take.“Luna Sophia,” she says. “Welcome to Shadowpeak.”“Alpha Lydia.” I stop right at the base of her platform. I don’t bow. “Thanks for meeting me.”“I didn’t think I had much choice.” She gives a small smile. “Not after what happened to Giga when he turned you down.”“Giga chose war. I gave him every chance to surrender.”“And when he refused, you broke his pack and took his wolves.” Lydia leans forward. “You’ll understand why I’m not excited to negotiate.”“That’s precisely why I’m here.” I glance at the

    If I knew where Alaric was, I’d be gone already. Kingdom be damned.“I hate it,” I mutter. “I hate that he’s right. I’m stuck here fighting a war I might lose, while my boy sits locked away in that cursed place.”“You’re doing everything you can,” Erica says softly.“What if that’s not enough?”She stays quiet. We both know the answer. If my best falls short, everything collapses.“My Sight showed me something,” she says after a long pause. “Pieces of a future. I still don’t get all of it.”“Tell me.”“I see you standing at the edge of the Black Realm. Two paths. One leads to Alaric, but you’re completely alone. The other brings you back here. After that… everything goes dark. Something blocks me.”“When?”“Soon. It could be days. It could be weeks.

    That night Kael found me in our quarters staring at the maps.“You’re supposed to be resting.”“I’m sitting. That counts.”“You’re strategizing. That’s the opposite.”He moved behind me and pressed his hands to my shoulders, working the tension out.“Talk to me.”“About what?”“About why you’re loo

    I found Erica that evening near the training grounds, sitting on a fallen log, her gaze fixed on the section of camp being hastily erected by Silverpine wolves. The sounds of unfamiliar voices and the sight of their banner—a pine tree against a silver field—made my own stomach clench with old ghost
