LOGINKAEL'S POVThe war room had never been so full.Every commander in the pack stood around the massive wooden table while Liam marked locations across the map with pieces of charcoal. Scouts came and went every few minutes, bringing reports from every corner of our territory.No one spoke above a whisper.The disappearance of my mother had shaken the pack.Her escape had given them hope.But hope alone wouldn't win a war.I looked around the room."They're expecting us to panic."Liam nodded."They're expecting us to charge straight into the Coven.""And that's exactly why we won't."The witch doctor folded her hands inside her robes."Seraphine has already prepared her strongest defenses.""She's waiting for you."I looked at the map again."If she's waiting...""...then we'll make her come to us."One of the warriors frowned."Alpha, how?"A slow smile spread across my face."We give her something she can't ignore."The room fell silent."The twins?"Liam asked.I shook my head."No."
KIARA'S POVThe moment the golden light entered the nursery, every candle in the room extinguished at once.Darkness swallowed everything.Only the tiny orb continued to glow, floating silently in the air.Kael immediately stepped in front of me and the twins, his wolf growling deep inside him."What is that?" Liam asked, reaching for his sword.The witch doctor suddenly raised her hand."No."Her voice was barely above a whisper."Don't touch it."Everyone froze.The golden light hovered above Rowan's crib before slowly drifting toward the center of the room.Then...It stopped directly in front of me.I stared at it, my heart pounding."I... I think it wants me."The witch doctor's eyes widened."It recognizes your magic.""My magic?"She nodded."Reach for it."Kael immediately grabbed my wrist."What if it's a trap?"The witch doctor shook her head."It isn't.""I've seen this only once before.""When?" Kael asked.She looked at the glowing orb."When your mother was young."My bre
OLIVIA'S POVThe witches believed I was weak.That was their first mistake.For years, I had hidden my magic.Not because I feared it.Because I feared what others would do if they discovered it.The enchanted chains around my wrists burned every time I moved.They were designed to suppress witches.Designed to keep us helpless.But whoever forged them had never met someone from my bloodline.I slowly opened my eyes.The dungeon was quiet.Only two witches stood guard outside the iron door.Perfect.I closed my eyes once more.Not to sleep.To remember.My mother had once told me, "The strongest magic is the one your enemy never knows you possess."Seraphine believed she knew every spell I could cast.She was wrong….Very wrong.I slowly pressed my thumb against the palm of my hand.A tiny drop of blood appeared.Instead of falling...It floated.The crimson droplet hovered in the air before glowing with soft golden light.The chains around my wrists trembled.One of the guards looked toward
KAEL'S POVThe hardest battle I had ever fought was the one where I wasn't allowed to fight.The sky was still dark, but dawn was slowly approaching. Every instinct inside me screamed to gather my warriors and storm the Coven. Every second that passed made me imagine my mother chained inside that dungeon, waiting for a fate she did not deserve.Yet I remained standing on the balcony outside our room.Because of her.Because she had trusted Kiara enough to reach her through a vision.And because I trusted my mother.Behind me, I heard the nursery door creak open.Kiara stepped outside quietly."You're still awake.""I couldn't sleep."She walked beside me, wrapping a blanket around her shoulders against the cold morning air."You were thinking about going.""I still am."She looked at me sadly."I know."Kael rested both hands on the stone railing."My father always told me an Alpha protects his family."He laughed bitterly."Today I don't even know what that means.""If I go...""I lea
KIARA'S POVSleep came unwillingly.My body lay beside Kael, but my mind refused to rest. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Olivia bound in chains, Seraphine's cold smile, and the silver bowl that would steal away her magic by sunrise.Kael hadn't said much after reading Seraphine's message.He had only held our sons for a long time before placing them gently in their cribs.Then he stood at the nursery window for hours, staring into the darkness.I knew exactly what he was thinking.If he surrendered Rowan and Ryder...He would lose his sons.If he refused...He might lose his mother.There was no choice a son should ever have to make.Eventually, exhaustion claimed me.The darkness around me disappeared.When I opened my eyes again, I wasn't in our bedroom.I was standing in a field covered in silver flowers.The sky above me was neither night nor day. It shimmered with stars, while a full moon hung impossibly close above the earth.The wind carried whispers I couldn't understand."Kia
KAEL'S POVThe entire pack was awake.No one had slept since my mother disappeared.Warriors searched every inch of our territory while scouts ran messages from one patrol to another. Every passing minute tightened the knot in my chest.They hadn't come for Rowan.They hadn't come for Ryder.They had taken my mother instead.The witch doctor stood over the large map spread across the council table."They planned this."Liam nodded grimly."They used Olivia to distract us."I slammed my fist onto the table."They're trying to force my hand."The witch doctor looked at me."Yes."Before anyone could speak again, one of the guards rushed into the room."Alpha!""What is it?""A raven."He held out a black raven perched calmly on his arm.Tied to its leg was a rolled piece of parchment sealed with black wax.The seal bore the symbol of the Coven.Seraphine.I tore the message free and unrolled it.The room fell silent as my eyes scanned the page.My blood ran cold."What does it say?" Kiara

KIARA’S POVThis trip was never ending. It felt like we had been driving for days and I was getting really tired of it. One day was like the other. We would stop at gas stations, drive on highways and stay in motels that smelled like dust. All of this was for one person. Kael.We almost found Kael
