Drake's rebirth energy blazed brighter than I had ever seen, silver flecks dancing through the ice-blue like stars. The dual bond between us hummed with impossible power—not romantic like what I shared with Zack, but something equally profound. A connection forged across timelines, preserved by death itself."You should not be standing," Marcus said, though uncertainty crept into his voice. "The damage from containing her entity should have kept you unconscious for days.""Should have. Would have. Could have." Drake stalked forward, his presence radiating lethal intent. "But you forgot something crucial, Marcus. I have died and returned more times than you can count. Pain is just information now. Death is just a transition. And you—" his smile turned savage, "—you are just a dead man who has not stopped breathing yet."Marcus's dark magic flared defensively. "Brave words from a rogue playing at being important. You are nothing but—""Her mate from another timeline?" Drake interrupted.

The void between realities was not empty.I plunged through layers of existence, each one a different version of the world I knew. In one, I saw myself still mated to Zack in our first timeline, happy and unaware. In another, I watched my parents alive and ruling the Moonstone pack. Dozens more flickered past—infinite variations of lives I could have lived.Then I hit something solid.A consciousness so vast it made my integrated void-power feel like a candle against the sun. It crystallized around me, forming a space that was neither real nor unreal. A meeting ground between dimensions."Impressive." The voice came from everywhere and nowhere. "Most who attempt direct contact fracture into madness within seconds. But you—you barely flinched."A figure materialized before me. Not human, not wolf, not anything I had words for. It shifted constantly, as if unable to maintain a single form. One moment an ancient woman with eyes like dying stars. The next, a young man with void-black vein

The rogue territory was worse than I imagined.We arrived at dawn, emerging from the forest into what had once been the Blackwood pack lands. Three years ago, their Alpha had gone mad, slaughtering half his pack before the survivors tore him apart. Since then, no pack claimed the territory. It became a haven for rogues, exiles, and things that preferred to hide from Council oversight."This place stinks of death," Zack muttered, his hand never leaving the small of my back. Our bond hummed with constant vigilance, his Alpha instincts on high alert."That is the point," Iris said, leading us toward a compound built into the mountainside. "The Council does not patrol here. Too many variables, too much chaos. They would rather pretend this place does not exist."Drake moved on my other side, his rebirth energy constantly scanning for threats. Since we had merged our powers against Thorne, the three of us moved in unconscious synchronization. When one shifted position, the others automatic

Week three of training, and I woke up not knowing whose dream I had been experiencing.The memory lingered—running through snow-covered forests, hunting something that smelled of pine and blood. But I could not tell if it was my memory, Zack's, or Drake's. The partial merge we maintained even during sleep had started bleeding our subconscious experiences together."You were dreaming about my first hunt," Drake said quietly from beside me. He was already awake, ice-blue eyes tracking my confusion. "I felt you experiencing it. Felt your emotional response to my memory.""That should not be possible," I whispered, panic fluttering in my chest. "Dreams are supposed to be private. Individual.""Nothing about us is individual anymore." Zack's voice came from my other side, rough with sleep and something darker. "I spent half the night experiencing both of your memories simultaneously. Watched Drake's original timeline through his eyes while also feeling your emotions about your parents' dea

The ritual would have to wait.We were halfway to the chamber when three wolves burst into the compound, their scents marking them as Silvermoon pack messengers. Blood matted their fur, and their eyes blazed with urgency."Alpha Zack," the lead messenger gasped, shifting to human form. "The Northern Coalition has mobilized. Five packs under Alpha Darius's command are marching toward Silvermoon territory. They will reach our borders in three days."Zack went completely still, his Alpha presence expanding until the air itself felt heavy. "Darius chose now? With everything happening?""He knows about Aria," the messenger said grimly. "Knows about the power she wields. The Coalition claims you are harboring a dimensional threat and demands you surrender her for containment. If you refuse, they will take her by force and destroy Silvermoon pack as collaborators."Through our bond, I felt Zack's fury colliding with tactical assessment. Five packs meant at least two thousand warriors. Silver
