Chapter Eleven

Mira's POVI barely sleep that night. Every time I close my eyes, I imagine what my real family looks like. Do I have my mother's smile? My father's eyes? What are my siblings like?And Vivian Stone—the woman who stole me—will be there too. What could she possibly have to say that would "change everything"?At dawn, I give up on sleep and take a long shower. Jessica arrives at seven with a bag of clothes."Amos asked me to bring you options," she says, laying out three dresses on my bed. "He wants you to feel confident when you meet your family."I stare at the dresses—all beautiful and clearly expensive. "This is too much.""No, it's perfect. You're meeting Alpha-blooded royalty. You need to look the part." Jessica holds up a deep green dress that matches my eyes. "This one. Definitely this one."An hour later, I'm dressed and ready. The green dress fits perfectly, hugging my curves without being inappropriate. Jessica helped with my hair, pulling it into an elegant braid with small

Chapter Twelve

Amos's POV"Lock down the entire territory," I command immediately. "No one goes in or out. Triple the guards around Mira and the Stone family. And get me a tracking team—I want Sarah found within the hour."Warriors scatter to follow my orders. My mind races through possibilities. How did Sarah escape? Who helped her? And how does she plan to kill me?Mira grabs my arm, her green eyes wide with fear. "You can't go looking for her. That's exactly what they want—to separate you from protection.""I have to do something," I argue. "I can't just sit here waiting for an attack.""Yes, you can." Alexander steps forward, his Alpha authority matching mine. "Amos, I respect your courage, but rushing into a trap helps no one. We need strategy, not bravado."Before I can respond, Marcus—the young Stone brother, not the former Beta—speaks up. "I can track her. I'm the best tracker in Silver Moon Pack. If Sarah's been here, I can follow her scent trail and figure out where she's going.""Absolute

Chapter Thirteen

Mira's POV"Emma!" I scream, trying to stand, but my legs are too weak from using my power. Amos holds me steady while I stare in horror at my baby sister dangling in Kyle's grip.Catherine shifts back to human form, tears streaming down her face. "Please, don't hurt her. She's just a child!""She's leverage," Sarah says coldly, pressing a silver knife to Emma's throat. "Here's what's going to happen. Nathaniel leaves with Mira, or I cut this little girl's throat and let her bleed out while you all watch.""Never," Amos growls, his arms tightening around me protectively."Then the child dies." Sarah presses the blade harder, and a thin line of blood appears on Emma's neck."STOP!" I shout, my voice cracking. "I'll go. Just don't hurt her.""Mira, no—" Amos starts, but I cut him off."She's my sister. My family. I won't let her die because of me." I look at Alexander, my father, whose face is twisted with agony. "I just found you all. I can't lose Emma before I even get to know her.""

Chapter Fourteen

Mira's POVThe war room is packed with Alphas, Betas, and high-ranking warriors from both Crescent Moon and Silver Moon packs. Maps are spread across the large table, showing our territory and the surrounding areas where Nathaniel's forces might attack.I stand between Amos and my father, trying to focus on the strategy discussion, but exhaustion pulls at me. Using my Alpha Queen power twice in one day has left me drained in ways I've never experienced."The main force will likely attack from the north," Alexander says, pointing to the map. "It's the most direct route and offers the best cover for a large army.""But Nathaniel is smart," Amos counters. "He knows we'll anticipate that. What if he splits his forces and attacks from multiple directions simultaneously?""Then we split our defenses," Marcus Collins suggests. The former Beta has been working hard to redeem himself since his daughter's crimes were exposed. "Place warriors at every possible entry point.""That spreads us too

Chapter Fifteen

Amos's POV"NO!" The roar that tears from my throat is inhuman. I catch Mira before she hits the ground, her body limp and cold in my arms. "Mira! Mira, wake up!"But she doesn't respond. Her chest isn't moving. I can't feel her heartbeat.The mate bond—already damaged from my rejection—shatters completely. The pain is indescribable, like someone tore my soul in half and set it on fire."She's dead," Nathaniel says with satisfaction. "The great Alpha Queen, killed by her own power. How poetic."Titan howls in anguish inside my mind, and I feel him breaking too. Without our mate, we're incomplete. Broken beyond repair."No," I whisper, pressing my hand to Mira's chest. "No, you promised. You promised we'd survive this together."Alexander appears beside me, his face stricken with grief. "My daughter. I just got her back. I can't lose her again."Dr. Chen pushes through the crowd of warriors. "Move! Let me see her!"He checks for a pulse, then immediately starts chest compressions. "She

Chapter Sixteen

Mira's POVThe morning after our mating ceremony, I wake up tangled in Amos's arms in our new shared quarters. For a moment, I just lie there enjoying the warmth of his body against mine, the steady rhythm of his breathing, the completeness of our bond.Then reality crashes back. Seven days. The Pure Bloods gave me seven days."You're thinking too loud," Amos mumbles sleepily, pulling me closer. "I can feel your anxiety through the bond.""Sorry. I can't help it."He opens his eyes and studies my face. "We'll figure this out. Together.""They said I have to come alone.""And you believe ancient werewolves who threaten to kill your family?" Amos sits up, suddenly alert. "Mira, this is obviously a trap.""I know. But what choice do I have? If I don't go, they'll attack everyone I love."Before Amos can argue, someone pounds on our door. "Alpha! We have a situation!"I throw on clothes quickly and open the door to find Jessica looking panicked. "What's wrong?""Nathaniel, Kyle, and Sarah

Chapter Seventeen

Mira's POVI burst through the pack house doors to find complete chaos. Catherine is sobbing in Alexander's arms. Marcus is punching the wall in frustration. Riley sits in the corner looking terrified and helpless.And Amos—my mate stands in the center of the room holding the note Kyle left behind, his face pale with fear and anger."Mira," he says when he sees me, and the relief in his voice makes my heart ache. He crosses the room in three strides and pulls me into his arms. "Thank the Moon Goddess. I felt you running through the bond and I was so afraid something happened to you too."I hug him tightly, drawing strength from his presence. "I'm okay. Tell me everything."Catherine looks up, her eyes red and swollen. "It was my fault. I went to check on Emma around noon, and she was gone. Her window was open, and there was dark magic residue everywhere. They took her in broad daylight while we were all here!""It's not your fault, Mom," Marcus says, though his voice shakes with emoti

Chapter Eighteen

Mira's POV"Mom?" I whisper in disbelief, staring at Catherine as power radiates from her like waves of pure energy.Nathaniel stumbles backward, his face pale with shock. "That's impossible. You've been weakened for years. The poison—""Was never meant to kill me," Catherine interrupts coldly. "It was meant to suppress my true power. But fifteen years in a coma gave me time to heal, to grow stronger, to plan." She steps fully into the mill, and the dark barrier Nathaniel created cracks and shatters like glass. "And now I'm fully awake."Our hidden warriors pour through the broken barrier. Jessica leads the charge, followed by Marcus and a dozen others. They surround Kyle, Sarah, and Nathaniel quickly.But Catherine walks past them all, her eyes fixed on Emma hanging from the chains."My baby," she whispers, and the love in her voice is heartbreaking. With a wave of her hand, the chains dissolve and Emma floats gently down into her arms. "I've got you now. You're safe."Emma's eyes fl

Chapter Nineteen

Mira's POVThe beach house is perfect—a small cottage right on the sand with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the ocean. Amos arranged everything while I was busy with pack business, and when we arrive just after sunrise, I fall in love immediately."It's beautiful," I breathe, stepping onto the porch and inhaling the salty sea air. "I've never seen anything like it.""Neither have I," Amos says, but he's not looking at the ocean. He's looking at me.I blush under his gaze. Even after everything we've been through, he still makes my heart race with just a look."Come on," he says, taking my hand. "I want to show you something."He leads me down wooden stairs to the beach. The sand is soft and warm beneath my bare feet. Waves crash against the shore in a soothing rhythm. The sun paints the sky in shades of pink and gold."This is magical," I say softly. "I can't believe places like this exist.""We have three whole days here," Amos reminds me. "No pack business, no threats, no resp

Chapter Twenty

Mira's POVThe crack in the sky spreads like shattered glass, darkness pouring through. Shadow creatures—twisted forms that look like wolves but aren't—begin descending to earth in swarms."All warriors to battle stations!" Alexander's voice booms through the pack mind-link. "Protect the civilians! This is not a drill!"Chaos erupts. Warriors shift and race to defensive positions. Parents grab children and run for the reinforced shelters. Alarms blare across the territory.Amos grips my shoulders. "Are you ready for this?""No," I admit. "But I don't have a choice."I shift into my Alpha Queen form—massive silver wolf with glowing golden eyes. Luna's presence is strong in my mind, fierce and ready for battle."Together," she growls. "We fight together."The shadow creatures reach the ground and immediately attack the nearest wolves. Our warriors engage, but these enemies are different from rogues. They don't bleed or tire. When you strike them, they dissolve into smoke and reform seco
