LilahWe don’t decide in a day.Morwen refuses to let me.“You’re still bleeding,” she says when I first suggest going back. “You’re just learning not to drip on everything.”So we spend three more days in the hollow, with the storm pacing the edges.Jax keeps his distance—mostly. His energy brushes the wards now and then, like a hand tapping glass. Ronan stays on the opposite side, presence heavy and still, not pushing, not retreating.The safehold hums around them.Inside the south house, we argue.“We could stay,” Bella says, fingers wrapped around a mug, steam curling up to brush her face. “Morwen’s wards are strong. Bren and Eira can fight if they have to. You’re getting stronger every day. Jax can’t force his way in easily. Ronan won’t push without your say.”“Safe is relative,” Naomi counters, sprawled on a bench with her boots on the table. “This place is… safer than most. But storms don’t stay at the edges forever. Eventually, someone will push hard enough that even Morwen ge

LilahThe first sign isn’t a scout.It’s the wards.Three mornings after my return, the borderlines start humming on a lower, sharper note. Less warning, more warning shot. The hair on my arms lifts. A faint metallic taste prickles on my tongue, like I’ve licked the edge of a blade. My stomach tightens, instincts bracing for impact.I feel it when I cross the yard toward the council hall—Naomi pacing beside me, Bella keeping close, fingers curled around a satchel strap.“Feels like the land’s grinding its jaw,” Naomi mutters.“Storm front,” I say. “Magic version.”“Jax?” Bella asks.“Jax,” I confirm. “And whatever he’s pulled in behind him.”We don’t have to wait long for confirmation.By midday, a runner barrels into the hall we’re using as a war room—dust‑streaked, breathing hard, eyes too wide.“Alpha,” he blurts, half‑bowing before Ronan can tell him not to. “Scouts at the east ridge saw movement. Armored wolves, not ours. Banners of the Blackridge pack. Jax’s sigil.”Ronan’s jaw

LilahThe alarm sounds at dawn.Not the clean, sharp peel of a training bell. This is lower, uglier—three blunt gongs that vibrate in my bones.War.I’m halfway into my boots before my mind catches up.Naomi tumbles out of her bedroll in the guest room, already reaching for her knives. Bella jolts upright, hair a tangle, eyes wide, hand going for the satchel where she keeps her herb kit.“What—” she starts.“Border,” I say. The wards are screaming at the edge of my awareness—hot, bright spikes along the eastern line. “East outpost. Rogues.”I can smell them even from here.Blood.Unwashed fur.And under it, faint but unmistakable—Jax’s people. More disciplined. Less wild. Like steel threading through rot.We hit the yard at a run.Warriors are already mobilizing, streaming toward the armory in controlled lines. Cassian is in the center of the flow, shouting assignments. Leo is at his shoulder, directing with clipped hand signals.Ronan stands on the raised step outside the hall, confe

LilahMorwen doesn’t wait long to call the council of the damned.She gives me half a night to sleep on her warning—half a night of shallow dozing and staring at the ceiling, feeling the bond coil tighter with each breath of the Moon outside the window.By mid‑morning, she has us all in one of the old stone chambers off the main hall—the kind carved deep into the hill, where the walls still remember older wars.Ronan. Cassian. Leo. Naomi. Bella.And me.We stand around a circular table scarred by decades of maps and bad decisions. Candles gutter in iron brackets. The air smells of wax and stone and the faint, metallic tang that always means Morwen is about to ruin someone’s day.She leans on her staff, gaze moving over each of us in turn.“The curse is done waiting,” she says. No preamble. “The Moon’s been patient long enough. The next full moon will close this cycle. One way or another.”The bond under my sternum gives a low, ominous throb.Ronan’s jaw tightens. Cassian exhales throu

Lilah The pack is too quiet. Not in the way it was when I first arrived—suspicious, simmering. This is different. The quiet of braced muscle, of lungs, held somewhere between inhale and exhale. By sunset, patrols are doubled. Evacuation routes are set. Non‑combatants have been moved to deeper holds under new wards Morwen carved herself. The sky is painfully clear. Stars pricked sharp overhead. The moon is not quite full—but close enough that my skin feels stretched too tight over bone. War drums outside. War drums inside. Naomi and Bella and I hole up in the guest room for a while, pretending we’re just three women killing time, not three threads tied into the heart of a curse. Naomi sprawls on her bed, head hanging off the edge, hair nearly brushing the floor. Bella sits cross‑legged against the headboard, sketchbook open but blank, pencil idle in her hand. I sit on the floor between them, back against the side of the bed, legs stretched out, fingers picking at a lo
