CARLOS POV"Carlos," Nora called. "Is that really you." I was filled with joy. My heart danced in excitement as I heard Nora's voice. I was so glad that I fpinally "Nora! Yes, it's me! Are you okay? Are the twins with you?""Carlos!" The relief in her voice was palpable. "I can hear you! I've been trying to reach you!""Where are you?" I asked desperately. "Are you hurt? Are the twins safe?""I don't know where I am," she answered, her mental voice trembling. "Some kind of Ancient realm. They have our children, Carlos. They're using them to threaten me."Rage flared inside me. "Have they hurt you? Or the twins?""Not yet," she replied. "But they want to know who cursed my blood. They can't drink it it kills them. That's why they took the twins, to force me to tell them.""Listen to me," I said urgently. "You hsve to find out where..."Before I could finish, her voice came again, panic-stricken. " I have to—"And then silence. Complete, devastating silence."Nora?" I called frantica

NORA POV"Carlos?" I called out mentally, my heart racing with hope. "Carlos, is that really you?"The sound of his voice in my head nearly brought me to tears. After days in this prison, cut off from everyone I loved, hearing him felt like finding sunlight after an eternity of darkness."Nora!" His relief was palpable even through our mental connection. "Yes, it's me! Are you okay? Are the twins with you?""I can hear you!" My hands trembled with emotion. "I've been trying to reach you!""Where are you?" The desperation in his voice matched my own. "Are you hurt? Are the twins safe?"I pressed my hands against the cold wall of my cell, as if I could somehow reach through it to him. "I don't know where I am. Some kind of Ancient realm. They have our children, Carlos. They're using them to threaten me.""Have they hurt you? Or the twins?""Not yet," I told him, trying to keep my voice steady. "But they want to know who cursed my blood. They can't drink it—it kills them. That's why they

Nora My lungs hurt really bad from the way I had screamed Carlos name. "WAIT!" Elder Silvarum shouted. "Stop! I'll do it. I'll remove the curse."Elder Alaric froze. "You'll remove it? All of it?""Yes," Elder Silvarum said, defeat evident in his voice. "But I need to be unbound. And I need King Callum's assistance."Elder Alaric studied him for a moment, then nodded to the guards. "Release them. But only those two. And if you try anything..."He let the threat hang in the air as the guards cut the ropes binding Elder Silvarum and King Callum. The daggers remained at their throats as they slowly stood."Bring them to the girl," Elder Alaric ordered.The guards pushed Elder Silvarum and King Callum toward me. As they approached, I caught King Callum's eye. Even now, when I started at him, I could see the message he was trying to pass in his eyes. Last night. The voice in my head hadn't been a dream. It had been real."Trust in the moon, daughter. Trust in yourself."Not only had I

Third POVNora lunged toward the Ancient, both fighting in their wolf form. The Ancient's fur was ash-gray, matted with blood and dirt, while Reika's blue flames licked across her midnight black coat. Their massive bodies crashed together with the force of two trucks colliding.The Ancient snarled, yellow fangs gleaming as he snapped at Reika's throat. She dodged, twisting her body in a fluid motion before countering with a slash of her claws. They tore through the Ancient's shoulder, sending droplets of dark blood spattering across the marble floor. The two circled each other, muscles coiled tight, ready to spring. Reika's eyes burned with blue fire, reflecting the rage that consumed her. The Ancient's eyes were cold, calculating, centuries of battles evident in his measured movements.They crashed together again, a blur of fur and fangs and fury. The Ancient's jaws clamped down on Reika's foreleg, and she howled in pain before retaliating with a brutal slash across his muzzle. Bloo

Third POVKing Callum was carried by his warriors and they all made their way back to the Eagle Pack. Six of the strongest men bore his body on their shoulders, their faces solemn as they marched through the forest. Behind them followed the rest of the surviving warriors, battered and bloodied but victorious.Nora walked alongside her uncle's body, her hand occasionally reaching out to touch the cloth that covered him. Carlos stayed close to her, carrying one of the twins while Nora held the other. Neither spoke. Words seemed inadequate in the face of such grief.Elder Silvarum led the procession, his staff lighting their way through the darkness. The journey was long and silent, broken only by the occasional howl of mourning from one of the wolves.Back at the pack, Nora was still shaken by her Uncle's death. She sat alone in the council chamber, staring at nothing. The twins had been taken to rest by one of their nannys, and Carlos had gone to check on Griffin's condition.When Elde
