Across the territory, in Edwin's war room, Ralph relayed Miles' message with cold urgency."Are you sure that Miles can be trusted, Ralph?" Those were the first words that rolled out of Edwin's mouth."I have observed him for a few days, my lord. And I can now boldly tell you that he is now a changed man," Ralph said, boldly vouching for Miles."I really do know that you are right, Ralph." Edwin muttered, almost inaudibly. "I really hope so because, if not, we will be putting everything that we have managed to gather to risk. Our lives and loved ones included," "I assure you, my lord, but I will also make sure to do my own findings and confirm that he has told me nothing but the truth." He assured Edwin."The ball is in your court now, my friend." Edwin said, sounding uninterested in Miles. " But if he is telling the truth, what do you think?" "I think that Miles was telling the truth considering the fact that clearing his house is the best he could do for himself at the moment," Ra

Garrett's study was unusually quiet. No fire raged in the fireplace. No guards lingered by the door. It was just father and daughter, Garrett and Vanessa, who were standing in silence over a spread of papers and scrolls scattered across the table.*What do you think, Luna?* He finally said, breaking the silence."What do you mean by what do I think, father?" She answered. "I thought that you were the one calling the shots here," "Vanessa," he softly called. "You and I both know that this is not the time and place to start coming at each other or being sarcastic. At this point, we have very limited time, and it will be ideal for us to maximize it to our advantage," he said with a serious tone." Fine!" She grudgingly replied."Great!" He exclaimed. " So back to what I think, I think...." he said, shaking his head. " I know that she is nothing short of a liability," Garrett muttered, pointing at a record bearing Marah's name. "And if she testifies, it is really over for us. We will be

The great hall of the Dark Moon Pack's council chambers had never felt so suffocating. The space was full to the brim. Every elder, high-ranking warrior, personal guards, healers, and representatives from allied packs sat in silence, with the weight of anticipation pressing on every shoulder.At the head of the long, arched chamber which was a little above ground level sat Alpha Edwin, who was dressed in jet-black attire, flanked by Ralph, and a few other trusted guards. Together with the neutral elders, Marah sat close to him.His face was expressionless, but his fingers tapped slowly on the stone armrest of his chair. A gesture which was a signal: a show of readiness, go-ahead and anxiety.On either side of the room, the rest of Edwin's best guards stood alert. Ralph, stood right behind Marah's chair, kept his gaze sweeping the crowd.At the far back, Vanessa and Garrett sat together. Garrett's smile was too wide, too confident. Vanessa, however, watched the proceedings with arms cro

In the cold stone chamber of Ashbane's war hall, Garrett and Alpha Kael stood over a large table, looking down at a rough map of the Dark Moon Pack sprawled across its surface. Several key locations were circled in dark ink. The council of elders chambers, training grounds, supply routes, and guard posts.Alpha Kael's sharp claw traced along a narrow path that etched into the northern border."This is where they are weakest. The forest trails near the old mill are barely guarded at night. We should slip in through here."Garrett nodded, his expression taut with calculation. "You are indeed a man whose calculations are unpredictable," he commented.Alpha Kael scoffed. " I did not rise to this position by being meek or following the usual trend,""Right!" Garrett nodded. "Once we are able to infiltrate the place, the seed of chaos is sown. We should start with small acts at first. Sabotage their armories, burn whatever supplies they have and finally whisper lies into the ears of wavering

The war tent in Ashbane's border camp was stuffy and suffocating with tension. There were maps, scrolls, and battle markers scattered across a large table. Outside, the Ashbane's warriors sharpened their blades, loaded supply wagons, and whispered rumors of the Dark Moon's growing resistance amongst themselves.Garrett paced like a caged wolf, his face darkened with fury. Across from him, Vorn, the Ashbane Alpha, lounged in his chair with a grin that did not reach his eyes spread on his face."The last two spies are yet to report back," Garrett snarled. "I thought that they were your best." He shook his head."And what is that supposed to mean?" Alpha Vorn snapped at him. "Are you doubting my strength and men?" "I do not think that I have made any statement that belittles you, but I am sorry if my words were harsh," Garrett grudgingly apologized. " But what I am saying is that, even the ones who have managed to report back to us have all been silenced.""At this point, I do not think
