Zara’s POV

The pack meeting was over, but the air still crackled with tension.

I had done what needed to be done. I had told them the truth about my son, shut down their doubts, and made it clear that no one would question me again.

But despite my victory, I couldn’t shake the unease settling in my bones.

This wasn’t over, Not by a long shot.

I barely made it halfway back to my house before I heard footsteps behind me.

I sighed. “What do you want, Ryker?”

He fell into step beside me, hands in his pockets, green eyes sharp. “You didn’t hesitate, did you?”

I glanced at him. “Why would I?”

He scoffed. “Most people would have softened the blow. Given the time to process.”

“I’m not most people, Ryker,” I said simply.

His lips quirked up slightly. “No, you’re not.”

We walked in silence for a few moments before he spoke again. “I meant what I said back there, Zara. I won’t push you to tell me where he is.”

    Calyra’s POVBeing marked as Thorold’s mate didn’t come with a ceremony. No gold thread. No howling chorus. No firelit circle of celebration.I heard whispers everywhere i turn in the pack, Some loud and bold enough for me the hear and some were being ome careful.At first, I thought they were just curious — the other she-wolves in the pack. Their glances lingered a little too long, their questions edged in something I couldn’t quite name. But curiosity is clean.Especially from lucy a girl in the pack who carries herself with suprimacy, i heard people calling her lucy and their future The first time I saw her, I didn’t know who she was.She wore her power like perfume—overpowering and sweet, the kind that made your teeth ache.

    LAUREN'S POV Sitting on the towel I've laid by the river of a deep forest close to my pack, I consider this hideout place my paradise. This is the only place I can be myself without the fear that someone will find out my true identity. I like to spend my quiet time by the river in the forest, not too far from my pack. I often visit the beautiful forest to clear my head from the day's stress. When the thought of a dream I had a day before crossed my mind, the moon goddess appeared to me again. "My child, it is time." Her message to me was clear, but I asked still, “Am I prepared?” Am I prepared to take back my father's throne from the traitor, who killed my parents and took over our pack? It was just one sentence. She smiled at me and then vanished. The first time she appeared to me, I was just thirteen years after I first shifted into my wolf form. That was also the day I met my companion and my wolf Jada. “She’s gone, Lauren.” Jada said and then added, “She’s so incomparab

    Thorold’s POV I had forgotten what laughter sounded like — real laughter. Not the kind that hides wounds or buys time between battles, but the kind that spills from a wolf’s chest effortlessly, without purpose, just because the sun is warm and the air no longer smells like death. I stood at the edge of the clearing near Stormfang’s lake, watching pups splash in the shallows, their fur soaked and wild, their howls sounding more like songs than calls to arms. This was the pack I had only heard about in stories. Now, I was a part of it. It had been weeks since Mia disappeared into the forest with what remained of her army. No more shadow-wolves. No more traitors. No more blood in the halls. Just quiet. And peace. We didn’t trust this peace completely. But we allowed it in because we were tired and needed to believe that survival could mean more than just the absence of war.
