I could still hear that name ringing in my head like thunder.

Azrael?

I didn’t know where it had come from, or why it felt like a thread pulling at the core of my soul. But there was no time to unravel it. The wind howled through the shattered ruins, stirring the remnants of ash and dirt left behind by Christopher’s vanishing wolves.

Logan pulled me by the wrist swiftly. “We need to move. Now.”

“But that howl—” I said.

“Exactly why we don’t want to stick around. We don’t know who or what it was.”

We slipped out the side of the temple, sprinting through the trees, dodging roots and debris as the cold night pressed against our skin. My breath came in ragged gasps, but I kept moving.

Until I couldn’t.

I stumbled severely when my foot hit a low-hanging root. My palms touched the floor but before I could get up, I felt it.

A pull in my chest.

Like a wire had snapped loose and was now whipping wildly inside me.

“Logan…” I croaked, trying to rise.

He stopped mid-stride and turned back—but th

    The gathering had ended, but the weight of it hadn’t lifted off from me. Everything was replaying back in my head. The words. I walked through the quiet corridors of the pack, my mind replaying every word, every glance from the pack members, and of course every doubt cast on my name. Questions filled my mind, yet I couldn't get a response. The doubts that had built up in me.A traitor’s daughter.I tightened my hands at my sides.My father was many things, but a traitor? No. That was a lie. There had to be. I nearly ran into someone as I rounded a corner too abruptly.Kelvin.He reached out and took hold of my arms to support me. He touched me too warmly. Where he held me, my skin pricked, and the familiar tug of our link hummed in the air between us. I wanted to pull away from him, get his hand off me but he held me tightly.“You’re burning up,” he murmured, gently pulling off from me. I pulled away fastly, ignoring the way my body protested against it. “I’m fine.” I replied sharply.

    I was surprised to see how many people there were. The gathered wolves were bathed in golden light from the torches that dotted the clearing's perimeter. Alphas gathered in groups, followed closely by their Betas, while warriors dotted the edges, keeping watch like sentries. I had grown up seeing gatherings like this from afar—when my father was still alive, still Alpha. But I had never stood at the center of one. Until now.Logan stood at my right, steady as ever. On my left was Kelvin, who was more subdued but just as powerful. Both of them remained silent despite the tension between them crackling like a live wire. Not here. Not now.Alpha Gareth, the Ironclaw pack's leader, appeared out of the crowd. He was old enough to have known my father, yet his face was one of mistrust mixed with curiosity rather than friendliness.He shouted, his voice echoing over the crowd. "You survived. And not just survived—changed.”There was no question. I looked him in the eye. “Yes.”There were mu

    Before the sun rose, the murmurs began. The weight of invisible eyes and the wary feet of scouts who believed I would not detect them following me were things I felt more than I heard. They whispered my name in the wind, as though uttering it too loudly may call forth something they were not prepared to deal with.Rachael survived.Rachael changed.Some said it like a prayer. Others like a warning.I kept my hood up as we walked toward the gathering site, the morning mist curling around our boots. Logan walked on my right, Kelvin on my left, their steps measured, quiet. They weren’t speaking to each other, which I supposed was a mercy. The last thing I needed today was them tearing into each other when the entire supernatural world was already deciding whether I was a savior or a threat.Ahead, a massive clearing stretched out, packed with wolves. Alpha Erik stood at the center, his silver hair glinting under the pale sun, his posture stiff with something I couldn’t quite read. He was

    Kelvin's hands were warm against my flesh, at the touch and he was kind as he put a moist towel over the cut on my shoulder. I mourned silently, the pain from the cut and, other than his steady breathing and the distant crackle of the fire, the cave was silent. The night was quiet outside. It seemed odd, as if no one else knew what we had lost. I should have pulled away. I should have told him no. However, I didn't. I let him touch me, let him clean the wounds I barely felt anymore. My body ached, but my heart ached worse. And the hairpin he gave me sat heavy on my lap, a fragile piece of silver that had somehow survived the flames when everything else had turned to ash.Kelvin dipped the cloth into the bowl of water again, his expression unreadable as he cleaned my wound.“Did you keep it all this time?” he asked, in a low voice. I swallowed hard. “Yes.” As he lifted my wrist, his fingertips stroked my arm, removing the dried blood from the area around my knuckles. I should have been

    I stared at the silver hairpin in my hand for what felt like hours. It was cold now, dulled with ash, but the edges still shimmered faintly when moonlight touched it. Even after everything... it had survived. Just like me. Logan sat on a rock which was a getaway, watching the trees like he expected something to leap out at us. Maybe he was giving me space. Or maybe he just didn’t know what to say. Neither did I.The ruins of the Crimson Moon estate surrounded us—jagged stone, broken beams, scattered bones of a place that once made me feel small. Now it just looked tired. Like even the earth had exhaled after holding its breath too long. I closed my fingers around the hairpin. He left it for me. Kelvin. Why? Why now?"You okay?" Logan’s voice was low, careful. I didn’t answer. I just stood, slipping the pin into the pocket of my cloak and brushing ash off my sleeves. My body still ached from the power burst, and my ribs felt like glass, but I could move. I could breathe. That was enoug

    It didn’t feel empty—not like sleep or silence. It felt thick, like smoke curling around my lungs, like drowning in fire. I couldn’t move. Couldn’t scream. Couldn’t breathe. Only float. Memories drifted by like ash in the wind. A child’s laugh. A cliff. Silver chains. Kelly’s smile—sweet and twisted. Mike’s voice, calm like poison. And the light. The light inside me that had turned everything to chaos.“When you wake, there will be nothing left of the girl.” “Only the Ghost.” I wanted to scream. To fight it. But there was nothing to fight. Only me.I gasped. Air tore into my lungs like I hadn’t breathed in days. My whole body arched on the surface I was lying on. I wasn’t in chains anymore. I wasn’t on a cold marble floor. It was—Soft fabric beneath me. Warmth. A flicker of firelight. My eyes blinked against the haze, shapes sharpening slowly. A small room. Stone walls. Candles. And someone was kneeling beside me.“Rachael.” Logan called out dryly. His voice broke when he mentioned m
