Mona's POV

The shadow-thing wearing Father's face reached for me, and I couldn't move. Couldn't breathe. Couldn't think past the terror of a thousand beatings, a thousand nights huddled in corners while his rage painted our walls with Mother's blood.

Derek's lightning threw it back, his body shielding mine before my paralysis could break. "That's not your father," he growled, but I felt his uncertainty through our bond. The thing looked exactly like Marcus Blackstone. Moved like him. Even smell

  • The Phoenix Wolf's Awakening    Chapter Seventy-Four:

    Mona's POV The Academy's great hall had never looked more magnificent, draped in silver and gold banners that caught the afternoon light like captured stars, but all I could see was the mark on Rose's shoulder that we still couldn't explain."Stop obsessing," Derek whispered, his hand finding mine as we took our seats. "Sophie said it could be a birthmark that's just becoming visible.""Sophie's lying to make us feel better," I whispered back, watching Aria take the stage one final time as Academy Director. She moved slower now, her hair completely silver, but her presence still commanded absolute attention."Today marks an ending and a beginning," Aria announced, her voice carrying to every corner of the packed hall. "Forty years I've served this Academy. I've trained thousands of wolves, watched the world change, sometimes helped change it myself. But time comes for us all, and it's time I passed this responsibility to younger hands."The crowd murmured appreciatively as her chosen

  • The Phoenix Wolf's Awakening    Chapter Seventy-Three

    Mona's POV The wheel hit another pothole, and Rose bounced in my lap, still somehow sleeping through the jolt that made the rest of us wince."How does she do that?" Lyra asked, peering at her little sister with genuine curiosity. "We've been traveling for three weeks, and she's slept through everything—storms, wolves howling, even Cassian's snoring.""I don't snore," Cassian protested, his seven-year-old dignity offended."You do," Derek said from beside me, his hand finding mine across the cramped carriage space. "Like a bear cub with a cold."We were somewhere between Crimson Fang and Moonwater Pack, on roads I'd once traveled barefoot and bleeding, running for my life. Now I rode in a diplomatic carriage, wearing Alpha robes, with three children who called me Mama and a mate who'd loved me through death and back. The contrast made my chest tight with emotions I couldn't name."Tell us again why we have to visit every single pack," Cassian groaned, his lightning sparking faintly w

  • The Phoenix Wolf's Awakening    Chapter Seventy-one

    Mona's POV Naia's next words made my blood turn to ice: "If an adult sings the lullaby, the price isn't memory—it's something you value more than your own life."The room went silent. Sera gripped Kael's hand so tight her knuckles went white. Thane stood frozen by the window, his scarred face unreadable. Yvenna sat perfectly still in her chair, watching the sleeping children with eyes that seemed to hold centuries of sorrow. Rose slept peacefully in my arms, unaware that we were discussing prices too terrible to name."What kind of loss?" Sera asked, her voice barely a whisper."Different for everyone," Naia said, her child's voice carrying weight it shouldn't possess. "For a parent, it might be the ability to protect their children. For a warrior, their strength. For a healer, their gift. The lullaby takes what defines you, what makes you who you are at the deepest level.""Then we can't—" Kael started."I'll sing it." Yvenna's voice cut through the room like a blade through silk.E

    Mona's POV The pregnancy test fell from my trembling fingers, clattering against the bathroom floor as I stared at the second pink line that had just rewritten our future."Mona?" Derek's voice carried through the door, concerned. "You okay?"I opened the door, holding up the test like it might explode. His eyes went wide, tracking from the stick to my face and back again. "Is that...?""I'm pregnant." The words felt surreal. The twins were four, finally sleeping through the night, finally past the stage where everything could kill them. And now—Derek swept me into his arms, spinning me around the bathroom while I half-laughed, half-cried into his shoulder. "Another baby. Another miracle.""Just one this time," I said quickly. "I can feel it. Just one."Sophie confirmed it the next morning, her hands glowing soft silver over my still-flat stomach. "A girl," she said, smiling. "Single pregnancy, perfectly healthy. Due in spring.""A girl," I repeated, thinking of Lyra bouncing off wa

  • The Phoenix Wolf's Awakening    Chapter Sixty nine

    Mona's POV Elder Marcus stood in our great hall at dawn, speaking words that made my blood freeze: "I formally challenge the Alpha's bloodline and demand the twins be removed from succession."Derek's growl shook the windows. I grabbed his wrist before he could lunge, feeling his muscles coiled tight as steel beneath my fingers. Marcus had waited until the twins were at the Academy, until we were alone except for the required witnesses for a formal challenge. He'd planned this perfectly, the coward."On what grounds?" Derek's voice was lethal quiet, the kind that preceded violence."They are abominations," Marcus said, his weathered face twisted with disgust. "Phoenix-touched. Unnatural. They shifted at three years old—that alone proves they're not true wolves. Nightshade needs pure blood to lead, not these... experiments.""Choose your next words very carefully," I said, surprising myself with how calm I sounded when inside I was screaming. "You're talking about my children.""I'm t

  • The Phoenix Wolf's Awakening     Chapter Sixty eight

    Mona's POV Lyra's scream shattered the morning peace, but it wasn't pain—it was pure, wild joy as her tiny body exploded into flame-tipped fur.I dropped the breakfast plate I'd been carrying, eggs splattering across the kitchen floor as I ran toward the nursery. Derek was already there, frozen in the doorway, watching our three-year-old daughter complete her first shift. She was impossibly small, a wolf cub no bigger than a house cat, but her fur—God, her fur burned with edges of phoenix fire, orange and gold flickering at the tips like she'd been dipped in sunset."Mama, look!" she yipped, her voice somehow still hers even in wolf form. "I'm fuzzy!"She tried to run toward me but tripped over her own paws, tumbling head over tail across the carpet. The furniture didn't catch fire—her flames were warm but not destructive, controlled even in her innocence. She rolled to a stop against my legs, peering up with eyes that glowed amber-gold."Cassian, look! Look what I can do!" She bounc
