Chapter 21: Humming of the Bone

The journey from the Sunken Crag to the jagged foothills of the Iron Peaks was filled with heavy breathing and the sound of snow crunching beneath their paws. Now that the barrier of "Elyra" had fallen away, the silence between them felt alive.To Elara, the bond she shared with Kael felt like a guitar string that had been stretched too tight for years and was finally plucked. It resonated deep within her, a low hum that revealed how hard Kael was breathing and when the cold bit at his ears. This overwhelming sensory experience caught her off guard.They turned back into their human forms when they reached a narrow cave mouth, concealed behind a frozen waterfall. The air was thin, biting, and carried the scent of ancient stone.Kael started to build a fire, moving with efficiency but stiffness. His strong Alpha demeanor seemed burdened by some invisible weight. He paused every few minutes, tilting his head as if he were listening to something only he could sense."You feel it, don't y

Chapter 22: Iron Fortress

The climb to the Iron Peaks Fortress felt like a journey through a graveyard of forgotten power. As they went higher, the air not only turned colder but also heavier, thick with the static of ancient wards that made Roric's hair stand on end.The fortress rose sharply, a jagged crown of black basalt piercing the sky. It had been empty for centuries since the great collapse of the Old Packs, but the stone still hummed. To Elara, with her sensitive healer's touch, the walls felt like a sleeping heart, waiting for a spark to revive its beat. "Volkov's drones are circling the base of the ridge," Roric reported while checking a small, cracked handheld device he'd taken from a Stonepeak scout. "They're unsure. The magnetic interference from the fortress is messing with their signals, but they'll recalibrate soon. We have about two hours before the ground teams start the climb."Kael stood at the edge of the fortress's ruined courtyard, his silhouette a dark shape against the moon. The disc

Chapter 23: Reckoning of the Peaks

The air on the Iron Peaks wasn't just cold; it felt heavy, like a physical weight. A purple-black energy pillar shot up from the Battery, tearing a hole in the sky. And through that hole, something old and hungry was coming back into the world.Elara stood in the middle of the silver grate. Her hair whipped around her face like a dark, silky halo. Her hands weren't just glowing anymore; they were see-through, showing the bright purple energy of her core inside. She could feel every drone in the valley below, not like machines, but like annoying, high-pitched mosquito buzzing in her head.Elara, it's too much! Roric yelled, his hands flying over the silver altar as sparks flew from the etched symbols. The Battery can't handle this much power. If the Tulpa gets any bigger, it'll ground itself through the fortress-and through us!Let it come, Elara whispered, her voice sounding strange, a bit metallic.Below them, the fight had truly begun. Volkov's ground teams weren't just shapeshifter

Chapter 24: Traitor's Confession

The Iron Peaks Fortress was quiet. Kael's purple-black armor shimmered, looking like a second skin, showing how well Elara could control the very darkness meant to destroy them. Torvin hung in Kael's grip, kicking wildly, his face turning purple, matching the storm's fading light above. The power... Torvin gasped, his eyes wide as he stared at Kael's glowing body. It should have broken you. No wolf... no wolf can handle that much power and stay sane.I'm not doing it alone, Kael growled. He didn't squeeze harder; he didn't need to. The strong Alpha vibe coming off him was enough to hold Torvin against the stone.Behind them, Elara stayed put at the Battery grate. She looked like a ghost, her skin almost see-through, sweat on her forehead as she fought to keep the old energy of the fortress from flowing back into her. The stone under her was cracking, unable to handle the huge amount of power she was sending to keep Kael safe.Kael, she choked out, her voice tight. The seals are breaki

Chapter 25: Arrival of the Architect

The quiet after the battery died was scarier than the storm's noise. It felt empty, like something bad was about to fill it. Above the sharp mountains, Volkov's Vultures-those black helicopters-weren't just circling. They came down like careful hunters, pretty sure they'd already won.Kael stood at the courtyard's edge, his boots crunching on broken glass from the drones. He felt raw. Without his purple armor, the cold mountain air bit his skin, and the Beacon in his chest felt like a sore, sensitive spot. Next to him, Elara looked like a ghost. She leaned against a big basalt pillar, her hands shaking so much she had to hide them in her cloak.Roric, get Torvin into the lower cells, Kael ordered, his voice rough but firm. And stay with the archives. If Volkov wants 'results,' we'll make sure all he gets is us.Roric nodded, dragging the passed-out traitor into the shadows just as the first transport landed. Its spinning blades kicked up a swirl of snow and ash, the sound a steady bea
