Silverwood Lodge rises from the Montana wilderness like something out of ancient history.
Massive stone structure. Three stories. Built over a century ago specifically for gatherings like this. Neutral territory owned by no pack. Maintained by a trust. Used only when all the Alphas of North America need to meet.
Which happens once a year. Every year. Without fail.
The Winter Gathering.
Our convoy pulls through gates guarded by neutral enforcers. Wo

THE DORMANT LUNA Book 1 CHAPTER 176
POV: LiamThe coordinates lead to hell.An abandoned industrial complex. Thirty miles from Iron Valley. Rusted warehouses. Broken windows. Concrete cracking from decades of neglect.Perfect for an ambush. Perfect for a trap.I hate everything about this.The alliance forces are positioned three miles out. Hidden in the forest. Fifty Alphas. Three hundred warriors. All waiting for my signal.Theo coordinates from the mobile command center. A modified RV packed with surveillance equipment. Screens showing every angle of the complex.Jax has snipers positioned on high ground. Thermal imaging tracking movement. Drones overhead providing aerial coverage.We've planned for every contingency. Every scenario. Every possible way this goes wrong.But watching Neah walk into that complex alone still feels like torture.She's a quarter mile from the designated meeting point. Moving through empty buildings. Following the path
THE DORMANT LUNA Book 1 CHAPTER 175
POV: NeahThree days feels like both eternity and an instant.I use them to say goodbye. Just in case.The first morning, I find Diane at the studio. She's teaching a class. Eight women. Mixed human and wolf. Learning defensive techniques. Building confidence.She sees me in the doorway. Smiles. Dismisses the class early.We train together. Like we used to. Before everything got complicated. Before hybrids and Alphas and wars.Just mother and daughter. Moving through combinations. Laughing when I miss a block. Correcting each other's form."You're getting sloppy," she teases. "Too much relying on golden energy. Not enough fundamentals.""I've been a little busy surviving assassination attempts.""Excuses."We spar until we're both breathless. Sweating. Remembering why I fell in love with this. The simplicity of movement. The clarity of physical challenge.Afterward, sitting on the studio floor, I say it. "I

POV: LiamThe Council chamber is silent when we enter.Twenty-four hours of deliberation. Twenty-four hours of Elders debating behind closed doors while we waited. Wondering. Preparing for every outcome.Now it's time.The five Elders sit at the head table. Their expressions reveal nothing. Ancient wolves who've mastered political neutrality over centuries.Elder Sienna speaks first. "The Council has reviewed all evidence presented. Heard testimony from witnesses. Deliberated extensively on the charges against Elder Marcus."My hand finds Neah's. Through the bond, I feel her tension. Her hope. Her fear.This vote determines everything. Marcus's fate. The hybrid program's future. Whether justice exists for those he's harmed."The charges are severe," Elder Kael continues. "Funding illegal experimentation. Creating corrupted hybrids. Violating the sanctity of human life. If proven, they warrant removal from the Council and trial under pack law."Marcus sits calm. Confident. Like he's al
THE DORMANT LUNA Book 1 CHAPTER 174
POV: NeahThe war room is packed beyond capacity.Fifty Alphas. Their Betas. Key warriors. Micah, Sera, and Maren representing the hybrids. My mother and Diane standing with the Iron Valley leadership.And Liam. Beside me. Hand on my lower back. Grounding me through the bond.Theo plays The Architect's message again. The distorted voice echoing through the space."You have one week to decide. Come willingly. Or watch everyone you love die."Silence when it ends. Heavy. Oppressive.Then chaos."It's a trap," Caleb says immediately. "Obviously. They want to isolate you. Make you vulnerable.""Agreed," Marcus adds. "The Architect doesn't want to study Neah. They want to eliminate her. Remove the one variable they can't control."Alpha Brennan stands. "We cannot allow the Luna to surrender. She represents the future of our species. The bridge we need to survive what's coming."Other Alphas voice agreement. Loud
THE DORMANT LUNA Book 1 CHAPTER 173
POV: LiamThe battle is over but the war room feels heavier than ever.I stand at the window overlooking Iron Valley. Watching warriors clear rubble. Extinguish fires. Carry bodies to the medical wing or the morgue depending on which is needed.Five dead. Fourteen critically injured. The packhouse damaged beyond immediate repair. Civilians traumatized. Children screaming in their sleep.We won. But the cost is visible in every face I see.Jax enters without knocking. "Status report. Medical wing is at capacity. We're setting up overflow tents. Shadow Peak is sending additional supplies and healers.""Casualties?""Five confirmed dead. Three more who might not make it through the night despite Neah's efforts. She's with them now. Trying everything."I nod. "What about the reverted hybrids?""Sixty-three total. All human again. Confused. Terrified. Most don't remember what they did while corrupted. Neah's offered the
THE DORMANT LUNA Book 1 CHAPTER 172
POV: NeahI see Iron Valley burning from a mile away.Black smoke rising into the dawn sky. Fires consuming the west wing. The home I chose. The pack that became my family.Burning.Through the bond, I feel Liam's rage. Kain howling for blood. Demanding we move faster.But I'm already running.The convoy screeches to a halt at the territory border. Alphas pouring from vehicles. Warriors mobilizing. Preparing for coordinated assault.I don't wait for coordination.I run straight toward the packhouse. Golden energy erupting. Not controlled. Not careful. Pure power flooding through every cell.The corrupted force sees me coming. Sixty enhanced hybrids. Eyes glowing purple. Weapons drawn.They form a line. Blocking my path to the packhouse. To my family.I don't slow down.The first hybrid raises a weapon. Assault rifle. Military grade.I walk straight at him. Golden energy radiating in waves.

NEAH"What do you mean he's asking for me?"I was already pulling on my sneakers with one hand and holding the phone with the other. My heart was hammering so loud I was sure Theo could hear it through the line."Exactly what I said. He crossed the border bleeding and half conscious. Shane and Mile

LIAMThe girl was staring at me like I had lost my mind. Maybe I had. The last seventy two hours were a blur of blood and running and a pull in my chest that wouldn't stop no matter how far I pushed my body.My wolf, Kain, had gone insane three days ago. Right in the middle of a council meeting wit
