Lana’s POVDawn pale light seeped into the sky a gentle hush that disturbed the night and a whisper that didn’t want to wake anyone. For a while, I lost track of time unaware of the darkness fading. The city’s hum outside had quieted into that strange, waiting stillness that only comes before morning fully arrives…before traffic begins, before people remember to exist again.The room was hushed a deep silence that seems to vibrate with anticipation. The soft glow began to seep across the floor, casting a warm glow on the glass walls, the furniture, finally resting on the edge of the bed ,where he lay.Max lay exactly as he had all night. The blanket had shifted down his chest, the rise and fall of his breathing slow, uneven but steady enough to count. I’d been counting it for hours.Every inhale. Every exhale. The rhythm had become my anchor, the only thing that convinced me the world hadn’t ended while I was too busy watching him not wake up.I didn’t sleep. I couldn’t. I felt weak m

Lana’s POVThe sound filled the space…that faint, rhythmic rise and fall. That was the only thing keeping me stable. With each rise of his chest, it kept pulling me back from the edge. Every minute it fell, I had to catch my breath, waiting for the next.When he spoke again, his voice was low. “Do you know what scares me the most?”I looked up, expecting some grim strategic answer, something about the rogues or the council. Instead, he said, “How quiet it’s been. The entire pack feels like it’s holding its breath. No one wants to make a move until Max wakes up — but that silence? It’s not peace, it’s pressure. It’s the kind that cracks things.”I turned toward Max. He looked so tired it made my throat ache. His skin looks pale, and exhausted.“He was the one always holding everything together,” I said quietly.“And now that he’s not…”“Everything’s starting to crumble,” Ethan finished for me.“He never talks about how much it costs him,” I said. “All the control, the leadership, the fi

Ethan’s POVI slowed down, my eyes still on the courtyard and the training grounds. Every little movement and every flinch of a tail or ear, told me something. The wolves were restless. Nervous and Confused. I could feel it in the air, like electricity before a storm.My wolf turned inside me. Normally, he would stay calm, waiting for my orders. But now, he seemed to notice that something is wrong.The younger wolves passed by me lowering their heads when they saw me. Some Of the wol es decided to calm and greet, but the fire in their eyes was erased justLike that. Fear had been the one to replace it. the runners looked different…pawing the ground nervously, glancing over their shoulders, sniffing the air as if they could smell danger that wasn’t there yet.I closed my eyes for a moment and inhaled slowly, letting my senses reach outward. I tried to feel everything at once… the courtyard, the fence, the trees, even toward the northern border where we had last seen the rogues. Some

Ethan’s POVI was standing there for a while, I couldn’t move i allowed the silence to fill the room. I heard the sounds of the city far away from the forest,the trees…cars honking, people shouting, music playing somewhere…but it felt distant like the world was moving without me.The council office was quiet but the air was still heavy. Like it was holding its breath. Even with the Alphas gone, the room still carried their voices, their worries. The sound of their footsteps still echoed on the stone floor, soft but sharp. It made me think about how the things we decided here never really left this place.My wolf stirred under my skin, uneasy. I felt it pacing inside of me, smelling for danger, growling low. The air was suffocating ,It was the kind of feeling that made your heart beat faster even when nothing happenedI walked back to the large table and touched the map with my finger. I circled the northern border slowly, thinking. The patrols would be doubled there, just like I said

Max’s POVI woke up feeling a warm hand holding mine, I lay still, didn’t move. I just listened. To the sound of the city below, the quiet sound of breathing close to me, the faint sound of sheets when someone shifted. My body was heavy, sore, but alive. That was the strange part…being aware again, after being nowhere at all.My chest rose slowly, letting air fill my lungs. It hurt a little bit. I tried to open my eyes,light blinded my eyes, blurred shapes, that familiar scent ,It took a moment before the blur turned into her.I stared at her, her head bent to the other side. Her hair covering her face, she looked amazing but there was exhaustion in her eyes, it was the kind that came from love, not defeat. She looked like she had been fighting for days, I knew she had.“Lana,” I said. My voice still hoarse, low and rough, like I haven’t spoken in years.Her eyes opened immediately. Relief came over her like a storm breaking, her lips moving before she even spoke. “You’re awake.”I t
