ログインSolara stood frozen on the training ground, staring at the golden light spreading across her shoulder.Her silver mark had changed.For years, it had been a sign of the strange power she carried. Now, golden light moved beneath her skin, forming lines that looked like the branches of an ancient tree.Luna approached her first.“Solara, are you all right?”Solara shook her head slowly.“Someone called my name.”Storm looked toward the northern mountains.“Was it the Hollow Alpha?”“No.” Solara pressed her hand against her shoulder. “It sounded like me, but it was not my voice. It came from somewhere far away.”Shadow studied the golden mark.“Could it be connected to the ancient kingdom?”Nyx emerged from the palace entrance. The old wolf had been watching them from a distance, and his expression changed when he saw Solara’s shoulder.He lowered his head.“The golden mark has appeared again.”Ariana stepped closer.“What does it mean?”Nyx did not answer immediately. He looked at Solar
Ariana POVThe chains tightened around Damian’s wrists as the darkness reached deeper into his body. He gritted his teeth, refusing to give the Hollow Alpha the satisfaction of hearing another cry.His wolf struggled beneath the dark magic. Every attempt to reach it ended in pain, but Damian refused to surrender.“You cannot break me,” he whispered.The Hollow Alpha watched him with cold amusement.“Every wolf breaks eventually, Alpha Damian. Some simply take longer than others.”Damian raised his head. “Then you will be waiting a long time.”The king smiled before turning away.“Enjoy your courage while you still have it.”The door closed behind him, leaving Damian alone with the darkness.Far away in Blackridge, Ariana stood in the damaged training hall, staring at the map spread across the table. The eastern gate had been destroyed during the last attack, and several warriors were still recovering from their injuries. Some allied packs had already withdrawn their support.The kingd
Ariana POVKael stood before the black door beneath Blackridge, listening to the voice on the other side.For several moments, neither of them spoke.Then the Hollow Alpha laughed softly.“You have brought me many promises, Kael. Yet the Flame remains beyond my reach, and the First Fang is still not mine.”Kael tightened his fingers around the black stone in his hand.“I have not forgotten our agreement.”“Have you not? You once promised to restore Moonshadow. Then you promised to bring me the four heirs. Now you arrive with excuses.”“I need more time.”The darkness behind the door moved.“Time is the one thing I no longer have.”Kael lowered his head, hiding his anger.For centuries, he had waited for the chance to restore his kingdom. He had endured the curse that prevented him from aging normally. He had watched his followers become creatures that survived by stealing power from other wolves.He had sacrificed everything for Moonshadow.Yet the Hollow Alpha treated him like a serv
Ariana POVAt the back of the chamber, Solara discovered a map carved into a silver plate. Four locations were marked across the territories, each connected by lines leading toward the northern mountains.“The four magical stations,” she whispered.The map showed how the stations fed energy into the First Fang network.“If we destroy them,” Storm said, “we can stop him from controlling the pack bonds.”“Perhaps,” Shadow replied. “But the stations may also protect the seal. We need to know what happens if all four are destroyed.”Solara turned over the silver plate.A final message had been carved into its underside.It was a warning from the Moon Goddess.The seal was not meant to imprison the Hollow Alpha forever. It was created to give future generations the chance to decide whether the ancient king could be restored or must be destroyed.The decision would belong to those who understood the cost of both choices.Luna read the words again.“They did not leave the decision to a ruler
Ariana POVThe news that the western territories had fallen spread through Blackridge like wildfire.Ariana stood before the large map in the council room, studying the marked territories. Several black stones had been placed across the western region to represent the packs that had lost control of their armies.Thousands of wolves were now moving under the Hollow Alpha’s command.If they reached the allied territories, the damage would be terrible.“We cannot wait for them to reach our borders,” Damian said. “If we allow that army to move freely, more packs will fall before we understand what is happening.”Ariana looked at him.“Those wolves are not our enemies. Their minds have been taken from them.”“I know,” Damian replied. “But we cannot allow them to destroy innocent lives while we search for a way to save them.”“Then we will find that way on the battlefield.”Damian studied her face for a moment before nodding.He understood her decision, even though he knew it would make the
Ariana POVKael stumbled backward as the chains around the ancient throne began to shake. One after another, the locks holding the prisoners beneath the ruins shattered. Their cries of surprise echoed through the tunnels as the dark magic holding them weakened.Solara stood in the center of the chamber, her hands glowing with controlled silver energy.She did not feel afraid of her own power.She could feel the magic moving through the room, searching for the chains that connected the prisoners to the ancient throne. Instead of releasing a wild blast, she guided the energy toward each chain, breaking them one by one.Kael stared at her.“You have learned more than I expected.”Solara kept her eyes on him.“I learned that my power belongs to me. Not to you. Not to the Hollow Alpha. And not to anyone who thinks they can decide my future.”Kael’s expression darkened.“You still do not understand what you have done.”The ground shook beneath their feet.A deep voice rose from the throne.

Ariana Valenti POVThe moment Ariana stepped past the Black Ridge border, she felt it.Evil eyes, staring at bitterly, and evily.Not just Damian’s, but many others watching from the dark. The forest that had felt silent moments ago now carried a low tension, like a breath being held for too long.
