SELENE

I turned down the car ride because I felt ill. Walking was better anyway, it let me see more. Following the guards quietly, I didn’t mind. We passed pack members who had already left the tournament grounds.

Some waved, their faces full of awe. Others cowered back. A small smile touched my lips. I waved back with my bloody hand at a little girl, then let my hand fall back to my side, staining the big black shirt.

The shirt smelled like raspberries. I liked it. The Alpha had ordered them

    SELENEHe loves me.He said it. He said it clearly, without hesitation. Those words burned quietly in my chest and made everything feel alive again.Looking out the window, I watched the pack grounds. The trees swayed gently. The air smelled clean and alive. These were my people. My family. The family I had built through destiny. I had so much to protect, so much to care for, and suddenly, it all felt lighter because I knew they were here, safe.The door slammed open, and the sound made me start. Alpha Orion Cyrus was first. Behind him, my children came in, one after another, smiles bright, eyes full of joy. I barely noticed my hospital gown. I barely noticed anything but the fact that everyone I loved was alive.My knees gave out. I fell forward and let my hands hit the floor. Tears came uninvited, hot and fast.Nothing had been lost. No one was gone. I could see every face that mattered. My family. My heart ached with relief and happiness.Warm hands grabbed mine. A touch sparked thr

    ORIONFour days had already passed since waking up.Waiting for her felt heavier than the battle itself. Time moved slow in this room. The light changed, the healers came and went, but her eyes stayed closed. They had cleaned her and dressed her the same way they had done to me. At first, that made my chest tighten. Fear crept in when the flower crown was placed on her head. The sight felt wrong. It felt too close to farewell. Calm only returned after the healers explained that she loved the soft pink scent. Hearing that eased something inside my ribs.Draven had been answering the pack's questions for me. Being stuck here did not matter. Sloane had gone home the day before. That was missed, but her bed was where I belonged. There was no better place to be.That peaceful face always pulled memories forward. Younger days came back. Back when she tried so hard to smile, even when life pressed down on her shoulders. Those small smiles had always stayed with me.The door opened softly f

    ASHA slow smile stayed on my face while the world seemed to fade around us. The ringing in my ears softened. Nyx stood close, breathing hard as she finally let her rocks fall back to the ground. They hit the earth with dull sounds. Dust lifted, then slowly settled. For a moment, everything felt still, like the land itself was taking a breath with us.We had done it together. Long days, long nights, bruised hands, tired legs, and quiet fear that never fully left our bones. All of it had led here. Every order, every plan, every silent prayer. We had pushed ourselves so Selene and Alpha Orion could step into the fight as the true Eclipse Circles. They had stood their ground. They had not failed. They had not fallen back when it mattered most.“He is out cold too,” Elara said.Turning back, rock floated in the air, carrying Alpha Orion. His body did not move. His chest rose slowly, steady and alive.“They did it,” I said. “We won.”The words felt strange in my mouth. Heavy, but good.N

    SELENEThe river was still unconscious, and the sight of it drove me close to madness.Fire moved inside my chest. It did not stay quiet. It pressed and spread, sharp and restless, as my eyes locked on the monster standing before me. Her eyes were open. Fear lived inside them, thin but clear.Tongue and heart.That was the target.Heat rolled through my body while I stepped closer. The fear on her face twisted into open disgust. A low growl left my throat. Smoke slipped from my mouth, the kind that comes when thoughts burn too fast inside the head.A scream cut through the air.More wolves rose from the ground around her. Stone pushed up with them. Rocks lifted and slammed down before they could rush toward me.“That’s not fair,” she said. Her voice carried worry and anger at the same time. “This isn’t that kind of battle. Tell your friends to stay out of it. And the wolf form isn’t fair either.”Confidence held for a moment. Then it broke at the end of her words.Her eyes shut. Red a

    ORION Reaching my mate should have been the only thought in my head. Nothing else should have mattered. But the witch gave no space. No pause. No mercy.A sharp tear burned across my back. Something ripped through skin and muscle. A broken sound left my throat before I could stop it. Fingers tangled in her hair and pulled hard, forcing my body to turn.A white wolf was on my back.Weight crushed down. Hot breath hit my neck. Rolling hard, claws drove straight into its throat. Bone cracked. The body dropped and slid across the dirt.There was no time to breathe.Elara was already moving again.She ran toward Selene, who lay in her human form in the center of the river. Water moved slowly around her legs. Ariel stayed close to her. Elara’s hands glowed with a deep green light that pulsed like a living thing.The moment Ariel reached the bank, cold rushed through my body. Eyes flashed icy blue. Sharp ice tore out of the ground. Long spikes rose along the river edge and locked the space

    ORIONThe explosions alone should have been enough to pull me in. If they were not, then nothing else could have missed my attention. Still, it was my wolf that truly warned me. Selene's scent had grown faint, stretched thin in the air, which only happened when she was weak and close to danger.While running with Ash, we were ambushed by a pack of white wolves. Each of them had something shining on their foreheads, catching the light as they moved. They slowed us down, but they also showed me the direction I needed. Ash stayed behind to deal with whatever followed, and I pushed forward, already carrying injuries by the time I found her.The sight of Selene nearly broke something inside me. She was on the ground, barely holding on. The witch's claws were inches from her chest. One clean strike there would have ended everything for me.Thought disappeared. Ice surged through my veins, sharp and fast. Power snapped free, and my body followed it. The impact sent the witch flying off Sele
