The golden dawn of the Blackwood territories should have felt like a benediction, but to Ellie, the air felt unnervingly still. The war was over, the Fracture was sealed, and the High Magister was a memory scattered to the void—yet as they crossed the threshold of the pack house, the silence was too heavy. It wasn't the silence of peace; it was the silence of a held breath. Roman didn't leave her side for a second. His hand remained locked in hers, his thumb tracing the line of her knuckles with a rhythmic, possessive intensity. He was the Alpha who had looked into the abyss and dragged his mate back from the edge, and the primal need to keep her within reach was a physical ache in his chest. He could smell the lingering scent of the void on her skin, a metallic, ozone tang that he wanted to wash away with his own musk, his own mark. They had won, but the cost was etched into the very masonry of the manor, in the way the younger wolves looked at them with a mixture of reverence and ab

The victory over the Archivist of Bone had cast a wary peace over the Valley of the Five Kings, but inside the fortress of ancient stone, the air still shimmered with charged tension.

The gold glow of their bond pulsed between them—alive and defiant against the gathering dark. Ellie tore herself away from the kiss first. Not because she wanted to, but because something in the trees shifted. There was no sound—Vanguard fires still crackled, wolves patrolled the camp, Marcus’s voice drifted from the far side of the clearing—but the forest behind Roman had gone unnaturally still.

The air chilled sharply. A subtle ripple ran through the camp—horses shifted uneasily, a wolf snapped its head toward the shadows. Marcus stepped forward, scanning. He felt it too. Ellie’s magic flared beneath her skin—aler
