tallied

She thrust her hands forward, and silver light erupted from her palms. The magic shaped itself into a wall across the valley, not solid, but rippling like water, slowing the rogues' charge to a crawl. They snarled and pushed against it, but the more they fought, the more it drained their strength."It's working!" Thalia said.But Korra could feel the strain. She wasn't just using her own magic; she was drawing on the baby's life force to amplify it. The child's heartbeat thundered through her, lending its ancient power to her defense.Be careful, she thought to the tiny life inside her. We need to last, just a little longer.The archers were doing devastating work now, taking down rogues who were caught in Korra's magical barrier. The valley floor was becoming a killing field. But the sheer number of enemies kept coming, wave after wave.And then she felt him. Her father, pushing through his own forces, making straight for her position."Korra!" he roared. "Face me, you traitorous bit

journey

The carriage ride to Eastern Ridge took two days, each mile stretching Korra's nerves. She was sitting against Kael's side, one hand resting protectively over her still-flat stomach while the other gripped the window frame as they bounced over rough terrain."You are thinking again," Kael murmured against her temple, his arm secure around her shoulders."I can't help it." Korra watched the forest blur past. "Everything feels wrong. Like we are walking straight into a trap."Rhyker, seated across from them, looked up from the documents he had been reviewing. "Your instincts aren't wrong; we probably are walking into a trap. The question is whether we are prepared enough to turn it to our advantage.""That's not reassuring, Father," Kael said dryly."It wasn't meant to be reassuring; it was meant to be honest." Rhyker's eyes flickered to Korra. "How are you feeling? Any nausea?""I'm fine," Korra said, though that wasn't entirely true. The constant motion of the carriage made her stomac

Assassins

Korra woke in the middle of the night to find Kael gone from their bed. She found him on the balcony outside their room, staring at the stars."Can't sleep?" she asked, wrapping her arms around him from behind."Thinking about the baby." His hands covered hers, where they rested on his stomach. "About what kind of world we are bringing them into.""A better one than I was born into," Korra said. "And that's because of you. Because of the pack we are building together.""Are we though? Building something better?" Kael turned to face her. "Because from where I'm standing, it looks like we are walking from one crisis to another. Your father's army, the conspirators, now this summit that's really an ambush." His voice cracked. "What if I can't protect you? What if something happens to you or the baby, and I...""Hey." Korra cupped his face, forcing him to meet her eyes. "Listen to me. We are scared, both of us. But we are also strong, and we are not alone. We have your father, Thalia, Mar

alliance

The summit hall was an impressive space, circular with high ceilings and banners representing each attending pack. A massive round table dominated the center, designed so no alpha sat at the head, a symbolic gesture of equality that Korra suspected was more political theater than genuine sentiment.Alpha Theron took his position first, then gestured for the others to sit. Rhyker settled into his chair with Kael on his right and Korra on his left. The other alphas arranged themselves around the circle: Marcus of the Western Reaches, Chen of the Northern Peaks, Isabella of the River Valley, Dmitri of the Shadowlands, and two others Korra didn't recognize."Thank you all for coming," Theron began. "We face unprecedented challenges. Rogue attacks have increased by forty percent in the last year. Trade routes are being disrupted. Smaller packs are struggling to survive.""Which is why we need to discuss consolidation," Marcus said, leaning forward. "The old model of individual pack territo

conspirator

The next day's summit session was supposed to focus on trade agreements and border disputes. Instead, it was interrupted by the sound of fighting outside.Korra rushed to the windows with everyone else, and her blood turned to ice.Rogues. Hundreds of them, pouring through Eastern Ridge's gates.And at their head, riding a massive black wolf, was her father."Impossible," Theron breathed. "Our defenses... the wards...""Were disabled by someone on the inside," Rhyker said grimly. "The third conspirator has finally shown their hand."Garret's army flooded the courtyard, overwhelming the Eastern Ridge guards through sheer numbers. It was a massacre, coordinated and brutal."We need to evacuate," Chen said, already moving toward the door."There's nowhere to go," Isabella countered. "They have us surrounded."Korra felt something shift inside her. That awareness, the baby's presence, suddenly blazed brighter. And with it came a flood of power unlike anything she'd ever experienced."No,"

"Took you long enough to figure it out." Theron's blade pressed harder, drawing a line of blood. "I have been playing both sides for thirty years. Selling information to hunters, undermining rivals, and building my power base. Your mother suspected, but she died before she could prove it. Castor got close, so Harkin killed him for me. And now I'm the most powerful alpha in the region, with your father's army doing my dirty work and the other alphas too scattered to stop me.""Except the other alphas are downstairs," Lucien pointed out. "Fighting alongside Moonhowl. Your grand alliance is falling apart.""Minor setback." Theron shrugged. "I will adapt. But first, I need to eliminate some obstacles. Starting with the prophecy child."He moved with shocking speed, dropping Rhyker and lunging for Korra with the blade aimed at her stomach.Lucien intercepted him, their bodies colliding with a force that shook the room. They fought with inhuman grace, moving too fast for normal wolves. Korr

against all odds

The healer appeared, her face going white when she saw the wound. "We need to move her; the babies are coming early.""It's too soon," Kael protested. "She's only six months...""Silvercrest pregnancies move faster, remember? Six months for her is like nine for a normal wolf." Thalia was already barking orders, coordinating the other healers. "But this wound... It's too close to the womb. If we don't act now, we will lose all three of them."They carried Korra to the healer's wing, laying her on the birthing bed. The pain was beyond anything she had ever experienced, worse than the curse, worse than any battle wound.Through the agony, she felt the babies' awareness. They were afraid. They were trying to help, their power flowing into her, trying to keep her alive.Mama, one presence seemed to whisper. Mama, hold on.We are coming, the other agreed. Wait for us.Tears streamed down Korra's face. "Tell them... tell them I love them...""Tell them yourself," Kael commanded, his hands gr
