Damon moved quickly through the forest, his partially shifted form allowing him to navigate the treacherous terrain with speed and precision. The rain had finally started to ease, but the ground was still slick with mud, and water dripped steadily from the canopy above.Every now and then he paused, planting his feet and lifting his head to search the air for any scent that could be Callie's or Autumn's. His lycan senses strained to their limits, filtering through the overwhelming smell of wet earth and vegetation, searching for that one familiar thread.He had long lost Autumn's scent. The rain had washed it away completely, leaving no trace of her passage. But there was something else… a faint scent of Callie that lingered in the air like a whisper. It was diluted by the storm, broken into fragments, but it was there.Damon knew they must have passed through this side of the forest. The certainty of it drove him forward.The scent kept getting stronger and stronger, and Damon only r

Lysa watched with barely contained excitement as the powers from the stones surged into Korran. She could see it happening… the seven beams of light that had been shooting skyward were now bending, curving inward, flowing into Korran's body where he lay on the altar. His skin seemed to glow from within, pulsing with each wave of power that entered him.His breathing changed, becoming deeper, stronger. His chest rose and fell with a rhythm that seemed synchronized with the stones themselves. The scar across his face gleamed silver in the multicolored light, and his mismatched eyes moved rapidly beneath closed lids, like he was dreaming something intense.It was working. By all the ancient gods, it was actually working.Lysa had studied that ritual for months, poring over the old texts until her eyes burned and her head ached. She'd traced the prophecy back through three different translations, cross-referenced it with half a dozen sources, all to make sure she had it exactly right. Bec

Damon tore through the forest, his partially shifted form moving with a speed and grace that would have been impossible for his human body alone. He could feel himself getting closer and closer to Callie with every leap. Her scent was getting stronger now, cutting through the smell of damp earth and torn leaves.But it wasn't just her scent that told him he was close.The raw power he could sense ahead was tightening more and more around him, like invisible bands wrapping around his chest and making it harder to breathe. The air itself felt thick, charged with energy that made his lycan's fur stand on end. Whatever ritual Korran was performing, it was massive. Ancient. The kind of power that hadn't been called forth in generations.Damon forced himself to slow down as he got closer. His instinct was to charge in, to crash through whatever stood between him and Callie like a battering ram. But charging in blind was a good way to get killed… or worse, to get Callie killed.He dropped si

Damon closed his eyes, and when he opened them, something shifted in his vision. He could see his sister standing in front of him, but she wasn't the woman she was now.  Instead, he saw her younger form… around eight or nine years old, with messy hair and scraped knees, grinning at him with that gap-toothed smile she'd had before her adult fangs came in. The girl who'd been his best friend, his partner in crime, his protector. The memory hit him like a physical blow. But Damon closed his eyes again, forcing the vision away. When he opened them this time, he saw only the threat in front of him. Not his sister. Not family. Just an obstacle between him and what needed to be done. Without thinking, without l
