Chapter 70

HARLEYThe morning came slowly, dragging its gray light across the sky like paint on a faded canvas.I hadn’t slept.Not because of nightmares—but because I was afraid of what might happen if I dreamed.Ever since that night in the woods… since the wolf in the mist… the air around me had changed. I felt it in the way the shadows stretched just a little farther around my footsteps. In the way wind would sometimes curl toward my ear like it was whispering secrets.Magic.It lived beneath my skin now.And it didn’t like being ignored.I stood barefoot in the kitchen, watching the kettle hum. Steam twisted up into the air in soft, haunting spirals. My fingers tingled, that now-familiar ache pulsing at my palms. The warmth was back—gentle, coaxing. Like it was calling me to open the door I’d only just begun to crack.I pressed a hand against the wooden table.“Show me,” I whispered.At first, nothing.Then—softly—a tremor beneath the grain.It was small. Delicate. The wood groaned as if si

HARLEYBy the time the sun dipped behind the horizon, the field behind the house no longer looked like the same place I stood in earlier.Torches flickered along its edge now, their flames swaying with the evening wind.

SHANEThe moment I heard that howl, I stopped thinking like a man. And started thinking like a wolf.It wasn’t just a warning call. It was a declaration. A challenge. A line being crossed.I crouched low, claws forming, bones shifting subtly beneath my skin—but not fully. Not yet. Caspian was at the surface, ready to take over, but I wasn’t giving him control. Not unless I had no choice.My eyes flicked around the circle.Harley stood behind me, her face pale but calm. Her hands still glowed faintly, like embers not yet cooled. The brothers had instinctively taken formation—Connor to the left, Kade to the right, Jasper a step behind Harley, shielding her like he would his own blood.That’s what we were now.Not just fighters.Pack.“I count five,” Connor muttered, his voice barely audible, sharp as a blade. “Maybe six. Can’t see beyond the brush.”“Roy wouldn’t send just a handful,” Jasper said. “This is a test.”“A message,” Kade growled.No one needed to say it aloud. We all knew wh
