I stood still staring at the letter until the words blurred. "Seraphine died because she found the truth. Stop digging or you will too." My hands kept shaking. Someone knew I was asking questions about Seraphine. Someone knew and they'd found me. Was it someone inside Frostgale? Or had Draven's spies already reached this far? I couldn't stay here alone. Not with that letter and not knowing who'd sent it. I grabbed the paper and headed out, locking the door behind me even though locks clearly was unlocked. The moon was up, casting everything in silver light. A few wolves were still out, heading home from late patrols or evening shifts. I kept my head down and walked fast. Rowan's cabin wasn't that hard to find . Thea had pointed it out earlier when she'd shown me around. I knocked, hoping he was home, hoping he'd know what to do. The door opened. Rowan stood there in loose pants, no shirt, hair damp like he'd just bathed. "Dian? What's wrong?" I held out the letter. "This

The sound of horns woke me before dawn. Long, blaring sounds that could be heard through miles. Attack horns. I'd heard them in drills back in Shadowcrest but not this real like something was going on. I threw on clothes and ran outside. They were chaos everywhere. Wolves are shifting, running toward the eastern border. Shouting. The metallic smell of blood already in the air even though the fight was still far distant. "Rogues!" someone yelled. "Eastern border! Multiple hostiles!" My heart slammed against my ribs. Rogues. Here. At Frostgale. Hope its not because of me. I ran toward the commotion, not sure what I was supposed to do but unable to just stand there. Wolves streamed past me, warriors heading to fight. I caught glimpses of faces I recognized. Castor, already shifted, racing toward the border. Nola barking orders. Zarek leading a group of fighters into the trees. Then I saw Thea. She was setting up a triage area near the pack house, laying out supplies with quick, ef

All the guards kept changing their position every six hours. I just counted them because i was jobless and lonely.I just sat here and staring at the walls? Two guards at the door. Two more walking circles around the cabin. Always watching.They said its for my protection, buts its funny their protection felt like a cell. On the third day, Castor showed up. The guards moved aside for him without a word. He stood in the doorway like he was thinking if he should come in or not. "How are you?"he let out a fake smile . "Perfect. Living the dream as you can see ." The bitterness leaked out he could see physically. He flinched. "Dian." "What would you have me say? That I'm grateful? That being locked up and guarded like a threat is totally fine?" "No." He ran a hand through his hair. "I know this is wrong. I argued against the guards but Kieran wouldn't listen to me. Said it was necessary." "Necessary for who? Me or them?" He didn't answer. Didn't need to either. I could feel what he

The messenger arrived during morning training.I was practicing shields with Castor when the horns sounded. Not attack horns this time. Just the long, single note that meant time for official business. Everyone stopped to watch as a grey wolf entered through the main gates, a leather satchel strapped across his back.Shadowcrest colors on the satchel. The pack seal stamped on the flap.My heart kicked against my ribs.Zarek dismissed training early. Wolves scattered, heading back to their duties or just lingering to gossip. I stood frozen, watching the messenger shift to human form and speak with Alpha Kieran.Castor touched my arm. "You okay?""That's from Shadowcrest.""Could be anything. Pack business. Trade negotiations." But his voice said he didn't believe that any more than I did.Kieran looked up, scanning the crowd. His eyes found me. He said something to the messenger, who nodded and reached into the satchel.My legs moved before my brain caught up. I crossed the training gr

How could I ever sleep? When Vesper had basically admitted she knew Draven's plot, knew he wanted me, and then disappeared into thin air.The guards still insisted no one had passed them. I'd checked with them three times before giving up.I guess she'd done something to them. Had to have. The question was how.By morning, my nerves were weak. The guards changed shifts and I finally sneaked off my cabin, heading straight for Thea's cottage. She opened the door before I could knock, took one look at my face, and pulled me inside."What happened?"I told her everything. Vesper in the library. Her comments about Kael. The casual mention of Draven. The guards who couldn't remember seeing her.Thea's face went from concerned to furious to calculating in the span of thirty seconds."She manipulated their memories," Thea said. "Just like you did with that guard outside your cabin.""But I didn't mean to do that. I didn't even know I could or how it formed.""Which means she does know. And she
