POV: Bea Sharpe

The pack meeting continued for another hour.

Questions about my training, my control, my intentions for the future. Some pack leaders wanted me to undergo formal evaluation to determine if my abilities posed threat. Others wanted me to train younger wolves, passing on skills that might help them manifest similar powers.

"I'm not a teacher," I protested. "I barely understand my own abilities."

"Then learn to understand them. With proper guidance and study." My mother's tone was firm. "You don't get to have unprecedented power without accepting responsibility for it."

"I didn't ask for this power."

"Nobody asks for their abilities. But once you have them, you choose how to deploy them. Choose wisely."

The meeting adjourned with agreements that I'd work with pack healers to better understand my Luna manifestation. That Ben and I would undergo evaluation to determine if proto-bonding existed. And that our relationship would be monitored to ensure it served pack stability

    POV: Bea SharpeFighting beside Ben felt like breathing.We moved as one unit. His strategy covering my aggression. My strength protecting his vulnerabilities. Eight years of rivalry had taught us each other's patterns so completely that we didn't need words anymore.Ian's remaining guards attacked from three sides. Professional killers following their final orders.Ben went low. I went high. We cleared the first wave in seconds."Left!" Ben called.I was already moving. Blocked the strike meant for his ribs. Countered with an elbow that dropped the attacker."Behind you!"Ben ducked under my swing. Took out the guard who'd been circling for my back.Perfect coordination. Like we'd been fighting together our whole lives instead of against each other."We're good at this," Ben panted."We always were. Just pointed at the wrong targets."Another wave of guards. More desperate. More willing to use lethal force.We met them together.I'd spent years believing Ben was my enemy.The golden

    POV: Ronan MontagueIan held the detonator like it was a trophy.I assessed the situation instantly. Twelve students bound in silver. The ritual chamber structurally compromised from earlier fighting. Explosives planted throughout the facility. Everyone exhausted from hours of combat.And Ian standing in the center of it all, holding our lives in his hand."Nobody moves," he repeated. "Or everyone dies."The mate bond's ghost ached in my chest. Juliana had died in a place like this. Sacrificed to fuel someone else's ambition. I'd failed to protect her.I wouldn't fail these students."Ronan." Bea's voice was low. "He's bluffing. Has to be. Blowing the facility kills him too.""He doesn't care. Look at his eyes. He's past self-preservation."Ian heard us. Smiled. "Your Alpha is correct. I'm perfectly willing to die if it means proving my point. That mercy is fatal. That trying to save me instead of kill me gave me this opportunity.""So what's your endgame?" I asked, buying time. "Kill

    POV: Ian GrecoThey thought they'd won.I watched from the shadows as students celebrated their supposed victory. Lady Macbeth captured. King Alexander retreating. The conspiracy exposed.Fools.They didn't understand that I wasn't part of the conspiracy. I was the conspiracy. Every manipulation. Every death. Every broken bond was my art. My masterpiece.And they'd tried to destroy it.Tried to prove that love was stronger than psychology. That truth mattered more than carefully constructed lies. That their pathetic resistance could overcome decades of perfected technique.I was going to show them how wrong they were.The ritual chamber was exactly where Lady Macbeth said it would be.She'd made a deal with me during our brief overlap in custody. My freedom in exchange for completing her ascension ritual. She'd provide the framework. I'd provide the sacrifices.Perfect symbiosis between ambition and methodology.The twelve students Emilia had "saved" were already gathered. Not in the

  • Star-Crossed Wolves: Silver Moon Rising   "Redemption's Price"

    POV: Emilia GrecoMy brother was a monster.I'd known it for years. Watched him destroy people with calculated precision. Seen him take pleasure in others' pain. Recognized that the charming façade he showed the world hid something fundamentally broken.But I'd stayed silent. Enabled him. Let my fear of family loyalty override my moral obligation to stop him.Now I stood in front of the assembled pack leaders, students, and Council representatives who'd converged on Moonrise Academy. All of them waiting to hear what I knew about the conspiracy.And whether I deserved to live."State your name for the record," Vincent Capulet said. He'd taken charge of the impromptu tribunal after King Alexander's withdrawal. His grief made him merciless."Emilia Greco. Sister of Ian Greco. Daughter of Council Chairman Victor Greco.""And your relationship to the conspiracy?""I knew about it. Not all of it. Not the full scope. But I knew Ian was manipulating students. Knew my parents were involved in

    POV: Ferdinand KingMy father wanted me dead.I'd known it was coming. Known that defying him, choosing Miranda over duty, helping expose the conspiracy would have consequences.But hearing Lady Macbeth confirm the assassination order made it real."Ferdinand." Miranda caught my arm as we climbed the stairs. "We can hide you. Get you somewhere safe until this is over.""There's nowhere safe. Not while my father controls the Southern Alliance military." I helped her navigate the steps despite her injuries. "And I'm not hiding while everyone else fights.""Then what do you do?""I face him. Publicly. Force him to either back down or execute his own son in front of witnesses."Prospero shook his head. "That's suicide. King Alexander doesn't care about public opinion. He'll kill you and spin it as justified.""Maybe. But it'll expose him. Show everyone exactly what he values more than his own child." I met his eyes. "Your daughter just risked her life to transform the supernatural world.

  • Star-Crossed Wolves: Silver Moon Rising   "Father and Daughter"

    POV: Miranda ProsperoPower was eating me alive from the inside.I could feel it burning through my veins like liquid fire. Too much. Too strong. The energy I'd been channeling for hours demanding release or destruction.Dad stood beside me, his hand on my shoulder, his magic intertwining with mine."Let me help," he said quietly."You can't. This much power will consume you too.""Then we'll be consumed together. Better than watching you burn alone."I'd spent my whole life watching my father from a distance. The mysterious groundskeeper who was secretly one of the most powerful mages in North America. The exile who'd sacrificed everything to keep me safe.Now he was offering to die with me rather than let me face this alone."I don't know how to let you in. I've never shared magic with anyone except Ferdinand.""It's like any other connection. You just have to trust me." His magic touched mine gently. Testing. Waiting for permission. "Let me carry some of this burden, little star."
