POV: LunaThe next morning, Professor Cael announced a mandatory class on mate bonds."Perfect timing," Nova muttered. "Right before we do a dangerous ritual.""Maybe it'll help," I said."Or make you more nervous."We filed into the classroom with the other students.Professor Cael stood at the front, looking serious."Today we're discussing one of the most important aspects of wolf life. Mate bonds."Students shifted uncomfortably. This was always an awkward topic."First, let's clarify terminology," Professor Cael continued. "There are two types of bonds. True mates and chosen mates."She wrote them on the board."True mates are rare. Perhaps one in a thousand wolves. The bond forms automatically when two compatible souls meet. It's instantaneous. Undeniable. Unbreakable."I felt Liam's eyes on me. Through our bond, his emotions swirled. Pride. Happiness. Love."Chosen mates, on the other hand, are deliberate. Two wolves decide to bond. It requires ritual and mutual consent. The bo

POV: LunaThe next few days passed in uneasy calm.No more traps. No more attacks. Just quiet tension.It felt like the calm before a storm.Selene had been training harder than ever. Pushing herself to master the defensive magic I'd been teaching her."Again," she said, breathing hard."You need to rest," I told her. "You've been at this for hours.""I need to be strong enough to protect myself. So you don't have to risk your life for me.""That's my job.""It shouldn't be. I'm not helpless.""I never said you were."She threw a magical orb at the training dummy. It hit dead center, burning through the target."Better," I said. "Your aim's improving.""But it's not enough. These little light balls won't stop a real threat.""They'll buy you time. That's all we need."She wasn't satisfied. I could see it in her violet eyes."What's really bothering you?" I asked."I'm tired of being the damsel. The prize everyone fights over. I want to be the fighter.""Then fight.""I don't know how!

POV: LunaThe medical wing was overflowing.Beds lined every wall. Cots filled the aisles. Injured students everywhere.Some from Victoria's ambush. Others from the various It-Girls traps over the past weeks.All of them exhausted. Scared. Hurting.I sat beside Nova's bed. She'd taken a nasty hit during the fight, breaking two ribs."I'm fine," she kept insisting. "Just bruised.""You have broken ribs," I pointed out."Details."Across the room, Aria was getting her arm bandaged. A rogue had clawed it during the ambush.Sienna was treating minor cuts with healing salves. Lyric had a black eye but refused to admit it hurt.And scattered among my pack were students I barely knew. From different cliques. Different social circles.All brought together by shared trauma."This is surreal," a girl from the tech club said. She was in the bed beside Nova. "I never thought I'd be fighting rogues. I'm not a warrior.""None of us thought we were," Nova replied. "Until we had to be.""Are we even

POV: LunaThe attack came at midnight.Just as the moon reached its peak.The wards shattered simultaneously. All of them. Every defensive measure we'd put in place.Someone had the override codes. Inside knowledge. Complete access."They're here!" the alarm systems blared.I was already shifted. Already moving toward the threat.My pack followed. Liam beside me. Aiden close behind.We burst outside and stopped.The grounds were covered in rogues. Hundreds of them. More than I'd ever seen.And leading them, wearing Council robes, were five figures.The architects."Luna Eclipse," the center figure said. Male. Old. Voice like gravel. "Thank you for making this easy.""Who are you?""We are the Keepers of the Seal. The original guardians. The ones who created the prison that your bloodline was supposed to maintain.""You created the seal?""Centuries ago. To lock away power too dangerous for this world. But we've evolved. Grown beyond our original purpose. And now we want that power bac
