Ava’s POVThe pack house felt different the morning after the attack. Everyone was moving quickly as if danger still clung to the walls. There were warriors with bandaged arms and bruised faces walking down the halls, their voices low but urgent. Healers hurried past with herbs and cloths, still tending to the wounded. The air smelled of blood and fear hung over everything.But more than that, it carried determination, they were readying for war.I should have felt relieved knowing the pack was strong and prepared but instead I felt the nagging ache of helplessness.Ella, my wolf paced inside me, restless, We cannot sit idle, Ava. We are not made to be weak, we should be fighting not hiding behind them.I clenched my fists at my sides, she was right. I had promised myself that I would grow stronger, that I would no longer let myself be treated as a burden. I wanted to fight beside Kane, Zack, even Lucas if it came to that. I wanted to be more than the fragile girl who had to be protec

Kane’s POVThe long oak table stretched before me, covered in maps, scrolls and open books. Wax from the half-melted candles had dripped onto the wood, leaving pale streaks across the surface. The flames were burning low.I had been staring at the same map for so long that the borders and inked lines seemed etched into my vision. My eyes burned but I couldn’t look away. The eastern border was the weak point, if the enemy struck again, that would be where they hit first.The couriers had already ridden out at dawn, carrying my summons to the neighboring packs. Though the council had approved it and more than that, had encouraged it. It didn’t ease the weight pressing down on my shoulders. Approval was easy but convincing every Alpha to set aside their pride and fight as one? That was harder.Zack stood at the far end of the table, his arms crossed tight against his chest, his gaze following every move I made. My Beta, Elias, stood close at my side, pen ready, waiting for orders like th

Kane’s POVThe war room was finally silent.The moon was high, pale light spilling through the war room windows. The table was still littered with maps and scattered notes but the council had gone hours ago, leaving me alone in silence.It had been another endless day of strategy and talks of border strength. I should have been relieved that it was done but I wasn’t, my body was restless, my wolf was pacing inside me. Rafe hadn’t been calm in days.She’s hiding something, he growledI rubbed the back of my neck. I didn’t need him to say it, I already knew.Something about Ava had changed in the last few days. She carried herself differently, her steps sharper and her eyes steadier. The little flinches and hesitations she used to have were fading. Even her gaze has changed.And then there was her scent.Every time she passed me in the halls, it stuck to her differently, it was familiar but layered with something faint, something wrong. My wolf tensed every time he caught it, showing hi

Ava's POVEverything was moving too fast. One moment Lucas's lips were on mine and the next Kane's voice tore through the night, loud and commanding. Now chaos had taken over the training groundThey were moving too quickly for my eyes to follow, they were like two storms colliding. Fists, claws, the crushing of bone, the ripping of fabric. Their growls were shaking everything around me.I couldn't breathe, I couldn't think and worse of all my feet refused to move.All I could do was watch as Kane and Lucas tore into each other like enemies, not brothers."No!" My voice cracked as I stumbled forward, hands out, useless. "Stop it! Please!"Neither of them stopped, they didn't even look at me.Lucas swung first, his fist smashing into Kane's jaw with a loud crack. Kane staggered back half a step but his eyes were full of anger, his claws moving fast as he struck across Lucas's chest. Blood splattered, soaking the ground."Kane!" I screamed but it was like yelling into a storm.We have t

Ava's POVThe door slammed shut and the sound echoed inside me was loud.Kane didn't look back.His footsteps faded down the hall, each one carving into me until I could no longer hear them. Only silence remained, it was heavy and suffocating. I stood there frozen, my wrist still tingling where his hand had gripped it.It didn't hurt. No...Kane would never hurt me but the memory of his strength stayed, the way his fingers had locked around me, pulling me away from the fight like I was a prisoner, like I wasn't strong enough to stand on my own.Maybe I wasn't.My body trembled. I pressed a hand to my chest but my heartbeat wouldn't slow down.The images kept replaying. Lucas's bloodied smirk, Kane's claws digging into him, the crack of bone. The smell of blood, it was hot, sharp, clinging to the night air until it burned the inside of my nose.And me.Standing between them, screaming, crying, useless.I sank onto the bed but the mattress didn't steady me. My legs still shook as if the
