Ester’s POVThe dawn broke cold and sharp, painting the abandoned village in muted shades of silver and ash. Frost clung to the shattered rooftops, a reminder that winter would not wait, no matter what battles we fought. I moved carefully across the makeshift camp, senses alert, wolf coiled beneath my skin like a taut spring, every nerve humming with tension. William’s presence was a constant anchor at my side, grounding me, tethering me, claiming me silently with the heat of his hand brushing mine.Nut and Hong were already awake, patrolling the perimeter of the village, eyes scanning the forest with the precision of predators. Their movements were synchronized, wolves beneath their skin whispering to each other, harmonizing in low, vibrating notes that I felt even from a distance. The bond between them, freshly claimed, was a living thread now, intertwining with the energy of the rest of the pack. I could sense it, pulsing faintly but insistently, a rhythm echoing alongside my tethe

Ester’s POVThe forest was unusually quiet that evening, the kind of quiet that presses down on the chest and makes every shadow seem alive. William’s hand rested lightly on my shoulder as we moved through the ruins, his presence a tether to sanity, a shield against the unease that had been growing like a storm cloud over the pack.I could feel it even before Nut and Hong spoke. The bond in the air was tense, quivering, like the first tremor before an earthquake. Something—or someone—was coming. And I knew instinctively it wasn’t another rogue pack.Nut’s voice broke the silence, low and cautious. “There’s… something. Something powerful. Alpha-level energy. Close.”Hong’s eyes narrowed, wolf coiling beneath his skin. “I feel it too. Strong… dangerous. And… older. Experienced. Controlled.”The words prickled at the back of my neck, stirring unease I couldn’t place. But it wasn’t just fear. My wolf stirred as well, restless, aware, smelling, sensing. And beneath it all, a pull that I co

Alpha Zane’s POVThe night was alive with whispers, though the forest itself seemed to hold its breath. From the ridge overlooking the abandoned village, I watched. Four wolves moved in unison—Ester, William, Nut, and Hong—but one stood out. That one white coat, glinting even in shadow, shimmered with a light I could feel in my bones. The Moongoddess herself could not have held more power, yet this wolf was something beyond even her—a fragment of her sprite alive in flesh and fur.I let the hunger coil in my chest, a slow, deliberate burn. Most Alphas would seek territory, power, influence. I sought something else. I craved the impossible. That wolf—male, white, immortal in essence—was a weapon, a promise, a legacy I could claim. And I would.The bond emanating from him was intoxicating. I could taste it even from here, a tang of silver fire and raw power that threatened to overwhelm my senses. It was strange, unnerving… and thrilling. Half of her sprite rested in that form, the magic

Ester’s POVThe forest held its breath that night. Darkness draped over the broken rooftops, twisted trees, and shadowed hollows of the abandoned village like a living thing, and every instinct in my body hummed in warning. My wolf twisted beneath my skin, coiled tight and ready to spring, muscles taut as wire, every sense amplified. I could feel William before I even saw him, his presence a warm, steady anchor against the storm of danger, his heat threading through me, tethering my anxiety.Nut and Hong moved silently around the perimeter, wolves coiling and brushing against each other in subtle, intimate gestures that grounded their energy and marked the territory of the pack. Their connection was fierce, quiet, and unyielding, and it strengthened us all. I watched them, my heart swelling with a strange warmth—pride, relief, and desire mingling in a coil that pressed tight beneath my ribs.William leaned close, his lips brushing my temple in a brief tethering touch, grounding me in

William’s POVThe air was thick with the smell of ozone and burning wood. The ridge above our village trembled under the first volleys of Zane’s attack, his Silver Light pack swarming like shadows of mercury, fluid, lethal, relentless. I stood at the center of our defenses, Ester pressed against my side, wolf coiled, heart hammering, senses stretched to their limits. The bond hummed, thrumming, tethering us together, pulsing through every fiber of our beings.“Stay behind me,” I growled, teeth flashing, wolf pressing fully against his. “Always.”He nodded, pulse racing, his white fur bristling as threads of the Moongoddess’ power flickered across his skin—silver light pulsing, raw, untamed. He was magnificent, immortal, divine. And he was mine.The first wave hit, and Nut and Hong surged into action. Wolves coiling, bodies twisting, teeth flashing, energy humming in synchronicity. They moved with lethal precision, marking each other fully mid-battle, wolf energy tangling, tethering, s
