Aéron's Point of ViewI stood beside the bed for several long minutes after Elara lay down. She had curled herself into one side of the mattress, facing away from me. Her breathing gradually became slower, and if I hadn't known her well enough by now, I would have believed she had already fallen asleep.But I knew better. She wasn't sleeping. She was hiding from the guilt. So many things have turned butter for her. Elara was afraid of Emily's screams and the questions none of us have answers to.I quietly walked to her side and gently brushed a loose strand of hair away from her face. Even in sleep—or at least the illusion of it—her eyebrows remained knitted together."I'll bring her back." I whispered so softly that only the moon could have heard me. "I promised you and I don't intend to break that promise."She didn't respond. I pulled the blanket over her shoulders before turning toward the door. Just before leaving, I looked back one last time. "Rest tonight. I'll carry this burde

Elara's Point of ViewI burst out of Aéron's room without stopping to think. Nyra's words echoed relentlessly inside my head. "She isn't waiting for medicine... She's waiting for you."Every instinct inside me screamed that I was already too late. The corridors blurred as I ran through the pack house. Warriors called my name, but I ignored them. My heartbeat thundered louder with every passing second until I finally reached the underground dungeon.The heavy iron gate stood wide open. My chest tightened. "No... This doesn't seem right." I whispered.The moment I stepped inside, the metallic scent of blood struck my nose. My eyes widened. The two guards assigned to Emily's cell lay unconscious against the stone walls. Their armour was torn apart, claw marks stretching across their chests. Blood pooled beneath them, though thankfully they were still breathing."Oh my God..." I hurried toward them. "What happened?"One guard slowly opened his eyes, groaning in pain. "Luna..." His voice

Elara's Point of ViewThe world disappeared in thin air. There was no pack or forest and definately, no fear. There was only the pounding rhythm of my heartbeat... and the enormous brown wolf standing several feet away from me.I saw Emily or perhaps... Whatever remained of Emily beneath that terrifying new wolf.The moonlight poured through the clearing, reflecting against my pristine white fur. I could feel every leaf beneath my paws, every movement of the wind, every heartbeat echoing across the forest. My blazing blue eyes never left Emily for even a second.Nyra's calm voice resonated inside my mind. "She is no longer fighting you... She is fighting herself.""I know but..." My heart couldn't accept it."Then why are you hesitating?" She asked."Because that's my best friend." A tear escaped from my eye.Emily lowered her head. A guttural growl rolled from deep inside her chest. The sound wasn't familiar. It carried pain... Confusion... And unbearable hunger. Her black eyes fixed

Aéron's Point of ViewThe forest had fallen eerily silent. Even Fenrir, who had been snarling inside my mind moments ago, suddenly went still. Across the clearing, Henry White stood with his hands casually tucked behind his back, the faintest smile lingering on his lips. He didn't look like a rogue who had invaded another Alpha's territory. He looked like a man who had already won.I tightened my grip around the hilt of my dagger, refusing to let his confidence shake me."This fight isn't yours," I warned, my voice carrying through the restless wind. "Leave while you still can. More of my warriors are already surrounding this forest. The longer you stay here, the fewer chances you'll have of walking away alive."Henry's shoulders trembled. He was laughing. Not loudly. Not mockingly. The kind of laugh a teacher gives an overconfident student before proving him wrong."You still don't understand, do you, Alpha Blackwood?" he murmured, slowly beginning to circle me. "You think I crossed y

Elara's Point of View"Emily!" The name tore from my throat before I even realized I had spoken.The instant her fingers tightened around mine, my heart nearly stopped. I jerked upright, staring at her face with wide, tear-filled eyes as if I were terrified that blinking would make the moment disappear. Her eyelashes fluttered weakly before her eyes slowly opened, unfocused at first, wandering across the infirmary ceiling. She looked dazed, her breathing uneven, as though she had just awakened from an endless nightmare.For several long seconds, she simply stared into space. Then her gaze landed on me. "Elara..." she murmured hoarsely, her voice barely above a whisper. "Why are you... crying?"A broken laugh escaped my lips. Without thinking, I threw my arms around her carefully, afraid that even the slightest pressure might hurt her. Tears streamed freely down my cheeks as relief crashed into me all at once."You idiot..." I choked out, my shoulders trembling. "You scared me to death
