THIRD POV.

It was the middle of the night, and the pack house had long fallen silent.

Alpha Alec sat alone in his office, shoulders tense, paperwork spread across the wide wooden desk in front of him.

Outside the tall windows, the forest lay dark and still, the moon hidden behind thick clouds.

The silence should have helped him focus.

It didn’t.

Alec stared down at the papers in front of him—patrol reports, supply logs, territory maps—but the words blurred together.

He had read the same page three times already, and still nothing stuck.

His mind refused to cooperate. It kept wandering back to Kira.

Back to the stranger lying unconscious in the pack infirmary.

His jaw tightened as the image surfaced again.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t shake it.

The entire situation sat wrong in his gut, heavy and uncomfortable, like a warning.

And what frustrated him the most was not the stranger.

It was himself.

He had been too quiet about it. Too passive. He knew what should have bee

    THIRD POVAlec’s brow furrowed as he listened to the young guard, whose voice carried a mixture of urgency and confusion, the kind of tone that immediately demanded attention, though Alec could already sense the hesitation behind it. “What do you mean? What do you mean something strange happened to the rift?” Alec demanded.“Alpha, something… something strange is happening. I… I don’t know how to explain it, sir. It’s… it’s better if you come see it yourself.” The guard said, breath coming in shallow, uneven bursts.Alec raised an eyebrow, pressing his lips into a thin line as his eyes narrowed at the guard.”“Better if I come see it myself?” he repeated slowly, the irritation in his voice low but unmistakable. “You don’t know how to explain it, so you think I need to waste my time running out here because you don’t understand what’s happening?”The guard swallowed hard, eyes flicking down, then back up at him. “I… I mean no disrespect, Alpha. It’s just… it’s unlike anything we’ve se

    THIRD POV“Silence.”Alec’s voice did not echo this time. It did not need to.Every sound died instantly.The elders froze in place, mouths half open, breaths caught in their throats. Chairs creaked faintly as bodies stilled, and even that seemed too loud. The air itself felt strained, as though it might crack if anyone dared speak again.Alec stood at the head of the table, his hands planted firmly on the wood. His shoulders were squared, his posture rigid with barely restrained anger. Slowly—very slowly—he lifted his head and looked at them.His gaze was cold.“So,” he began quietly, his voice measured, “is this what you called me here for?”No one answered.Alec straightened fully, drawing himself to his full height, his presence instantly commanding the room.“Tell me,” he continued, his eyes sweeping over them one by one, cold and assessing, “did you summon your Alpha so that you could argue like children in my presence?” he asked, his tone sharp with clear annoyance.Still,

    THIRD POVThe council chamber remained heavy with silence after Elder Rowan’s last words, as though the very walls were holding their breath. Alec stood rigid at the head of the table, his jaw tight, his eyes hard with restrained defiance. For a moment, it seemed as though the discussion had reached its limit.Then another elder cleared his throat.He has hair nearly white. Slowly, he leaned forward, resting both hands on the table as he looked directly at Alec.“There is more,” he said quietly.Alec’s gaze snapped to him. “More what?” he asked, feeling more and more irritated by the minute.“More history,” the elder replied. “More reasons we hesitate.”Alec exhaled sharply through his nose but said nothing, gesturing for him to continue even though he didn't want to.The elder nodded once. “Years ago,” he began slowly. “long before you took your first shift, Blackridge hosted a gathering. Not a training. Not a negotiation. A celebration.”Several elders straightened, listening to

    THIRD POVAlec let out a sharp, humorless laugh, the sound cutting through the tense silence that had settled over the council chamber.“So now this is suddenly unprecedented?” he demanded, pushing back slightly in his chair, his hands braced against the edge of the table. “Joint warrior training. Packs hosting other packs. Are we truly going to sit here and pretend this is something new?”None of the elders answered immediately.Alec scoffed and shook his head, irritation pouring freely now.“This has been happening since before I was born,” he continued, his voice growing louder with each sentence. “Before any of you even sat on this council. Packs have always trained together. Alliances were built that way. Strength was tested that way. And now—now that I decide to do it—it suddenly becomes reckless?”He spread his hands out in disbelief. “Now it’s dangerous. Now everyone wants to clutch their chests and warn me to be careful.”His eyes swept across the room, daring anyone to chall

    THIRD POVFor a brief moment after Alec told them to proceed, no one spoke.The elders exchanged glances again, the kind of looks that carried far more meaning than words ever could.The silence stretched, thick, until finally one of the elders cleared his throat.“We have heard… rumors,” the elder began slowly, his tone measured but tense. “Word is spreading through the pack that Night Crescent intends to host the Blackridge pack for joint warrior training.”Alec blinked once.Then he let out a short breath, almost amused.“Oh,” he said casually. “That.”The reaction around the table was immediate. Several elders stiffened. One leaned forward slightly, eyes narrowing.“Yes,” Elder Rowan said calmly, though even he looked concerned. “That.”Alec straightened a little in his chair, folding his arms across his chest. “The Blackridge pack sent a letter,” he explained, his voice even, as if he were discussing something mundane. “They proposed joint training. I considered it, and I decided

    THIRD POVThe moment Alec stepped fully into the council chamber, he felt it.The air was thick—heavy with tension, displeasure, and something dangerously close to open resentment.Every elder was already seated around the long oak table, their backs straight, their hands folded or clenched, their expressions dark and rigid. No one spoke. No one moved. Their eyes followed Alec in silence, and not a single one of them bothered to hide their anger.Alec resisted the urge to scoff out loud.What is wrong with these people? he thought irritably. Did they all wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?He took a few steps forward, boots echoing faintly against the floor, and stopped near the head of the table. His gaze swept over the elders slowly, as if daring someone to speak first.“Well,” Alec said at last, his tone clipped, edged with annoyance. “You requested a meeting.”Silence answered him.Not a single elder responded. A few of them shifted slightly in their seats.One elder s
