Four wolves spun toward us, shock on their faces.

The room was exactly what we'd hoped for—maps covering the walls, documents scattered across a large table, weapons stacked in the corner. A command center.

"What the—" one of them started.

My shadows slammed into him before he could finish, pinning him against the wall. Maya moved fast, her blade at another wolf's throat.

"Don't," she said coldly. "Don't move. Don't shift. Don't even breathe wrong."

The remaining two wolves, a grey haired woman and a younger man raised their hands slowly.

"Smart," Maya said. "Everyone on the floor. Now."

They obeyed.

Then the grey-haired woman smiled.

"You're too late," she said calmly. "He already knows you're here."

Before i could ask who, the windows shattered.

Wolves came in—six, seven, eight of them, all massive and trained fighters. More came through the door behind us. We were surrounded.

"AMBUSH!" Maya shouted. "DEFENSIVE FORMATION!"

Everything happened at once.

    We walked for five hours almost completely in silence.Ash led the way through the darkest parts of the forest. I followed behind, moving as quietly as I could, listening for every snapping twig and rustling leaf.Kael walked behind me, close enough that I could hear his breathing. Despite whatever had been bothering him earlier, he was completely focused now. As dawn came, Ash raised his fist. We stopped immediately.He pointed ahead, and through the trees, I saw it.The fortress.It wasn’t a big castle like I imagined. It was a three-story mill, made of stone and wood, surrounded by a wooden fence. Guards walked along the walls. Lights lit the place.And at the east side, just as the prisoner had described, a smaller entrance for supply deliveries.We carefully moved to a rocky spot Ash had scouted earlier. From there, we could see the fortress clearly but stay hidden.“We wait here,” Maya whispered. “Watch them. Learn their schedule.”“How long?” I asked.“As long as it takes.”We

    The day before the fortress mission began with Kael acting strange.He'd been distant at breakfast, he barely spoke and seemed lost in thought. When I asked if he was okay, he just nodded and walked away.Now, at the training ground, he stood on the opposite side from me while Maya went over the final instructions."Something's wrong with Kael," I whispered to Zara.She glanced over at him, then back at me with an odd expression. "You really don't see it, do you?""See what?""Never mind." She shook her head. "Focus. Maya's talking."Maya explained today’s plan: one last full practice of the fortress mission. Every step, every backup plan, no breaks until we did it perfectly.“Selene, you’re with Ash on the approach,” Maya said. “Kael, you’re with Lyra as backup.”I noticed Kael's jaw tighten, but he said nothing.We spent the morning running the scenario over and over. By the tenth run, it went smoothly—in, gather information, out. No mistakes.“Good,” Maya said. “Take an hour to eat

    Training started with drills meant to wear us out.Maya made us run through the forest at dawn. We carried full packs and weapons, moving fast but quietly. The goal was to build our strength for the fortress mission and to learn how to move together as a team.I tripped over a tree root for the third time, but Ash grabbed my arm before I hit the ground.“Focus,” he whispered. “Step where I step. Follow my exact path.”I nodded and tried to copy his movements. Ash was amazing at this. He moved through the forest silently, like he barely touched the ground. Every step was planned. Every branch avoided.Behind me, Kael moved just as smoothly, even though his leg was still healing. Lyra and Maya followed behind us, both looking way too comfortable with the harsh pace.We ran for two full hours before Maya finally told us to stop.I leaned against a tree, breathing hard, my legs burning.“That was awful,” I said between breaths.“That was acceptable,” Maya replied. “We’ll do it again tomor

    The next morning, I woke up and saw that Kael was already gone.His bedding was folded neatly, and there was a small note written on a piece of bark beside me: Training with Maya. Eat breakfast. Rest your shoulder. – KI couldn’t help but smile. He was always looking after everyone except himself.Outside, the camp was quiet. Most of the wolves were still asleep after everything we learned yesterday about the Alpha King. Only two guards were awake, watching the area. Everything else was calm.I went to the fire pit, where someone had left a pot of warm porridge. As I ate, Zara walked over. She looked like she hadn’t slept well.“Morning,” she said, dropping down beside me.“Morning.”“You believe it?” she asked. “The whole second bond thing?”Straight to the point. That was Zara.“I don’t know what to believe anymore.” I kept stirring my porridge. “Part of me thinks it’s just a story. Something people hope is true. But another part of me…”“Feels something?” Zara asked.I nodded. “It’

    Sunlight came through the cracks of the shelter when I woke up, and Kael was still holding my hand.He had fallen asleep sitting next to me, his head leaning against the wall in a way that would definitely hurt later. But he stayed there all night.The nightmare felt distant now. Less real.I carefully pulled my hand free and sat up, wincing as my injuries ached. My shoulder was healing faster than normal because of my wolf, but it still hurt.Kael woke up, blinking. “Morning.”“Morning. Your neck’s going to be in pain.”He rolled his shoulders and winced. “Worth it. Did you sleep better?”“A little.” I stretched. “Thank you.”“Always.”Before we could say anything else, urgent voices outside made us tense.“—she needs to hear this now—”“She’s resting—”“This can’t wait!”Then Maya’s voice cut through: “What can’t wait?”Kael and I exchanged a look and stepped outsideA wolf I didn’t know stood in the middle of the camp, older, tired, like he’d been running all night.
