Kieran had to take an action because Seraphina is already weak and down.

The decision was made before dawn.

Kieran stood in the main hall, already dressed, already prepared, his expression set with quiet authority. Around him, a small group of trusted warriors waited, chosen not for numbers but for loyalty.

The air carried tension, not fear.

But caution.

Sarah stood beside him, her gaze steady.

“She will not wait long,” she said.

“I know.”

Kieran’s voice was calm.

“She barely sleeps,” Sarah con

    There was unease in the room and the message is really shocking.Five days??It was not enough.It would have to be.Kieran’s gaze remained fixed on the map, his mind already moving ahead of the moment. Routes. Distance. Weak points. Unknowns. Every second now carried weight.“We leave before nightfall,” he said.No hesitation.No delay.One of his warriors stepped forward.“My Alpha, the distance alone will take.........”“We cut through the western ridge.”“That terrain is dangerous.”“It is faster.”Silence followed.No one argued again.Kieran turned slightly.“We travel light. No unnecessary numbers. Speed over force.”Rhyden would have said the same thing.The thought passed briefly through the room without being spoken.Seraphina stood at the edge of the table, her hands resting lightly against it, her eyes fixed on the marked location.Five days.Her chest tightened.Too close, very little time on their side.“We need more than speed,” she said.Kieran glanced at her.“Explain

    The moment Seraphina saw him her father, everything else disappeared.“Father…”Her voice broke before she even reached him.He turned at the sound of her voice, his body still weak, supported by one of Kieran’s men. But the moment his eyes found her......“Seraphina…”She ran straight into his arms.The impact nearly unbalanced him, but he held her anyway, his arms wrapping around her tightly as though he would never let go again.She broke instantly.Tears came without restraint, her body shaking as she clung to him.“You are alive…” she cried. “You are alive…”He held her just as tightly, his own eyes closing briefly as emotion overtook him.“I am here,” he said softly. “I am here.”She pulled back just enough to look at him, her hands trembling as they moved over his face, his shoulders, as if making sure he was real.“You are hurt…”“It is nothing.”“It is not nothing,” she said, her voice breaking again. “You look…”She could not finish.Because the truth was too clear.He looke

If we delay too much, she will leave on her own.”“That will not happen.”There was no doubt in his tone.Then Sarah asked quietly,“Do you believe the report?”Kieran did not answer immediately.His gaze shifted slightly.“I believe something happened,” he said at last. “But I do not believe everything we were told.”Sarah’s expression sharpened.“You think it is incomplete.”“Yes.”“Or false?”Kieran exhaled slowly.“I think it is convenient.”That was enough to under

    The silence that followed Seraphina’s fall was heavy.Too heavy.Sarah knelt beside her immediately, her hands steady despite the sudden panic that tightened her chest.“Seraphina… wake up.”There was no response.Kieran stepped closer, his expression dark, controlled, but not untouched.“Call the midwife.”Elowen was already moving.Within minutes, the room filled with quiet urgency. The midwife arrived quickly, her movements quick as she checked Seraphina carefully.“She has fainted from shock,” she said after a moment. “Her body is overwhelmed.”Sarah nodded, her hand still resting gently over Seraphina’s.“She must not be stressed further.”Kieran’s jaw tightened.“That may not be possible.”The midwife looked at him.“Then you must control what you can.”Seraphina stirred slightly, her breathing uneven before her eyes slowly opened.For a moment, she looked confused and lost.Then..........It came back.Her body tensed instantly.“…No…”Sarah leaned closer.“Seraphina…”She shook

    One week passed.Seven days of silence.Seven days without another attack.Seven days where nothing happened.At first, it felt like calm.Then slowly, it began to feel like relief.Darius stood at the edge of the training grounds, watching as warriors moved through their drills with renewed strength. The tension that had gripped the pack after the first attack had begun to loosen. Guards still remained doubled, patrols still strict, but there was a steadiness returning.Control.Order.The way it should be.Rhyden walked up beside him, his posture relaxed for the first time in days.“They have not made another move,” he said.Darius nodded slightly.“They will.”“Maybe not soon.”Darius’s gaze remained forward.“They are waiting.”Rhyden exhaled.“Or they are reconsidering.”Darius did not respond.But for a brief moment, even he allowed the possibility to exist.That perhaps the worst had passed.That perhaps whatever had been building had paused.It was a mistake.The attack came a

    The night left something behind.Even as the sun rose over Darius’s territory, casting light across the grounds, the air did not return to what it had been before. The attack had done more than break through the borders.It had unsettled the foundation.Guards stood sharper at their posts. Warriors trained harder, faster, as if trying to outrun the unease settling beneath their skin. Every movement carried a quiet urgency.Darius stood at the edge of the training grounds, his arms folded across his chest, his gaze fixed on nothing in particular.From a distance, he looked the same.Unshaken.Untouchable.But Rhyden knew better.“You have not slept.”Darius did not respond immediately.“I do not need it.”Rhyden stepped beside him.“That is not true.”Darius exhaled slowly.“It is enough.”Silence settled between them for a moment.Then, unexpectedly.....“I am starting to doubt that.”Rhyden turned to look at him fully.Darius rarely said things like that.Rarely allowed even a fracti

    The southern fields stretched wide beneath the morning sun, golden and endless.Sarah moved through them alone.Her hands were blistered from gripping the scythe. Sweat clung to her brow. Dirt stained the hem of her dress. Wolves passed occasionally, some watching, some whispering, none offering he

    The air in the pack house was heavy long before the council assembled.The scent of blood still lingered in the wind from the night before. It clung to the stone walls, to the guards’ armor, to the very breath of the wolves who had carried their fallen brothers home.Seraphina stood beside Darius a

    The request spread through the compound before the sun had fully risen.Alpha Theron had asked for a private audience with the Luna.Not with Darius.With her.Seraphina stood before the tall window of her chamber, watching the pale gold light spill over the training grounds. Wolves were already aw

    Darius had faced enemies stronger than himself.He had faced rival Alphas, blood-soaked battlefields, betrayals that could have shattered a weaker leader.But standing in his chamber with Seraphina looking at him like that, hurt already forming in her eyes, it felt worse than any battlefield.“What
