"Is it? She's spent two centuries collecting pieces of ancient magic. Studying the First Wolves. Learning how they created the packs. She wants to undo that creation. Reshape it in her image."

"How do we stop it?"

"The ritual requires three things: Moon's Tear. Royal Blood. And a thousand wolf sacrifices." She looked at me. "You have the Tear. Kael has Royal blood. And she's been collecting wolves for years. She has almost everything she needs."

"Almost?"

"She needs them all in one place. All at once. During a specific celestial event. Moonfall Eclipse."

Thea, who'd joined us partway through, gasped. "That's in three weeks."

"Yes. And she'll come for you before then. Try to take the Tear. If she succeeds..."

Julia shook her head. "If she succeeds, everything ends. All free will. All choice. Just her. Forever."

The weight of that settled over us like a shroud.

"Then we don't let her succeed," I said.

"How?" Julia asked. "She's too powerful. Too prepared. You can't—"

"I can try. We can

    Before I could respond, Thea's voice carried up from below. “LUNA! We've got a situation!”Kael and I exchanged looks.“There's always a situation,” we said in unison.The War CouncilThe council had expanded to include representatives from the allied packs. The room was packed, tension thick enough to cut with a knife.Thea stood at the map, her face grave in a way that made my stomach drop. “My divination detected massive magical activity three days ago. I've been tracking it since.”She pointed to a location on the map—deep in the Shadowpeak Mountains, far beyond where the old fortress had been.“Here. Seraphine's new stronghold. It's hidden by powerful glamour, but during my last scrying session, I caught a glimpse inside.” Thea's hand shook slightly. “She's rebuilt. And it's worse than before.”“How much worse?” Marcus demanded.“She has maybe four hundred warriors. Plus constructs—dead, raised, and bound to her will.” Thea pulled out a scroll covered in her sketchy drawings.

    We moved out together—two hundred Black River warriors forming up at the border. Whatever was coming, we'd face it together.The Crescent Moon Pack approached slowly, their alpha—an older woman named Mira—at the head. She looked exhausted, haunted, like she'd been running for days.I stepped forward to meet her, Marcus and Helena flanking me. “Alpha Mira. This is unexpected.”“Luna Sophia.” Mira's voice was heavy with grief and exhaustion. “I'm coming seeking sanctuary.”“For what?”“The Cult found us.” Mira's hands clenched into fists. “Three days ago. They attacked at dawn. We fought, but...” She gestured to her pack behind her. Many were wounded; all were terrified. Children clung to their parents. The Warriors looked ready to collapse. “We barely escaped. Lost half our pack in the retreat.”“I'm sorry.”“I heard what you did at Shadowpeak. How did you free the prisoners? Destroyed their fortress.” Mira met my eyes, and I saw desperation there. “My daughter is one of your war

    Kael stood at the border of Black River territory the next morning, and a small group assembled to see him off.Aldric was beside him, along with five warriors for protection.I'd argued about not going with him.We'd actually fought about it—three times.But someone needed to hold the pack together while he was gone, and we both knew it had to be me.Didn't mean I liked it."First stop is Ironwood Pack," Aldric said, checking the map."They're the most vocal critics. Convince them, and others will follow.""No pressure," Kael muttered.I approached with a small bundle."Supplies for the road. And this." I pulled out a communication rune."Check in every night. I mean it.""Yes, ma'am.""I'm serious, Kael. If I don't hear from you—"He silenced me with a kiss, and for a moment, nothing else mattered."I'll check in. Promise.""And don't let Aldric get

    Marcus approached, looking more serious than usual. "We've got a situation. Council meeting in ten minutes."I sighed. "There's always a situation.""Welcome to leadership," Marcus said dryly. "It's all situations, all the time."He wasn't wrong.The war room was packed. Garrett, Marcus, Liana, Helena, Thea, Erica, and, surprisingly, Aldric. The former—or was he still current? Lycan King had made himself useful over the past week, and people were slowly starting to trust him.Very slowly."What's the emergency?" I asked, taking my seat at the head of the table.Thea stood, looking troubled. "I've been doing divination work. Tracking Seraphine's movements since the battle.""And?""She's gone to ground completely. No magical signature, no communication with remaining Cult cells, nothing.""That's good, right?" Erica asked hopefully. "Means she's scared?""Or planning," Aldric said grimly. "Seraphine isn't scared. "I'd been hoping to be afraid of.Thea nodded. "There's more. The Moo

    Chaos erupted. Black River forces grabbed freed prisoners and ran. The corrupt prisoners attacked their own rescuers. Cult warriors closed in from all sides.Seraphine laughed, the sound carrying over the battlefield. "You can't run from me forever, little Luna! I'll find you! And when I do."A massive explosion cut her off.The Moonbane charges that my team had planted throughout the fortress detonated simultaneously. Silver-white light erupted from a dozen locations, and the fortress's dark magic defenses collapsed.The blast wave knocked everyone off their feet. In the confusion, Kael's forces made their break.Brock carried me.Helena supported a wounded warrior. Marcus and his Beta Force provided rear guard. Liana picked off pursuing Cult warriors with perfect accuracy.Erica stayed close to me, her sight guiding them through the chaos. "Left! Go left! The right path has an ambush!"They followed her guidance, twisting thr

    But not the Leighton I remembered. Not even close.His corruption was complete—his eyes solid purple, his skin pale and stretched tight over his bones, dark veins visible beneath the surface like cracks in porcelain.He looked at me with zero recognition. Nothing. Just... emptiness."Vessel," he said, a dead voice that made my skin crawl. "Priestess said you'd come."Alarms blared throughout the fortress."It was a trap!" Marcus's voice crackled through the communication rune, sharp with panic. "They knew we were coming! Fall back!""Can't!" Kael responded, and I felt his fury and fear through our bond. "They're boxing us in!"In the prison, the horrible truth crashed over me like ice water. The prisoners weren't just corrupted—they were wired to the fortress itself, connected to its defenses.My breaking in had triggered every alarm, every trap, every defense at once."Sophia!" Helena grabbed my arm hard enough to bruise. "We need to go NOW!"But I was staring at Leighton, at the hun
