Luna was three days old, and she'd already broken six cribs.Not through violence or tantrums. Just... existing.Silver light pulsed from her whenever she dreamed, warping the wood, melting the metal reinforcements. We'd finally resorted to laying her on a bed of soft blankets on the floor, surrounded by protective wards the pack's strongest witches had crafted."She's beautiful," I murmured, watching her sleep. Even in slumber, power radiated from her tiny form."She's terrifying," Dante corrected, but his voice was full of love. "Did you see what she did to the bottle this morning?"I had. Luna had been hungry, and before I could even reach for her, the bottle had floated across the room into my hands. Telekinesis. At three days old."The oversight committee arrives tomorrow," I said, changing the subject I didn't want to think about. "Representatives from twelve packs.""Are you ready?""No." I looked at our daughter, so innocent and powerful. "But we don't have a choice."The next

Luna was six weeks old when the first assassination attempt occurred.I was nursing her in our bedroom when I felt it—a wrongness in the air. A presence that shouldn't be there."Dante," I called through the bond, keeping my voice calm despite my racing heart.*I feel it,* his response came immediately. *Southeast corner. Moving toward your position.*I stood carefully, Luna still feeding, and moved to the panic room Dante had installed when I was pregnant. It was reinforced steel, warded against magic, with emergency supplies and weapons.The moment I sealed the door, I heard glass breaking in our bedroom.Through the bond, I felt Dante running, Marcus mobilizing security, Vincent (still recovering but functional) coordinating response teams.But the attacker was fast.I heard footsteps outside the panic room. Then a voice."Silver Luna, I mean no harm. I just want to talk.""Breaking into someone's bedroom isn't how you start a conversation," I called back."I apologize. But I knew

Luna was three months old and already showing signs of advanced development."Mama," she said clearly, her first word coming two months earlier than normal babies.Pride and terror warred in my chest. Pride that my daughter was brilliant. Terror at what that brilliance meant."Yes, baby, I'm Mama." I kissed her forehead."Dada?" She looked around for Dante."Dada's working. He'll be back soon."Luna's face scrunched up—the warning sign before a power surge. I quickly set her down in the reinforced playpen we'd built.Sure enough, silver light pulsed from her. Every toy in the playpen rose into the air, spinning in a slow circle above her head."Luna, gently," I coached. "Nice and gentle."The toys lowered slowly back down. Luna giggled, clapping her hands.It was adorable. And terrifying.Because every day, Luna's power grew stronger. Every day, her control improved slightly. But it was a race—would she learn control before her power became too great to contain?"Luna's getting better

Luna was ten months old when she decided to play matchmaker."Uncle Marcus needs his mate," she announced at breakfast.Marcus, who'd been drinking coffee, choked. "What?""Your mate. She's coming today. You should wear the blue shirt. She likes blue.""Luna, honey, I don't—" Marcus started."She's at the border now. With Alpha Regina's group. Her name is Sophie and she has brown hair and green eyes and she's scared because she's omega rank but she's perfect for you."Marcus looked at me helplessly."Has she been right before?" he asked."Every time," I admitted.Three hours later, Alpha Regina arrived with her monthly oversight delegation. And with them was a young woman matching Luna's exact description.Sophie was indeed omega rank, with brown hair and green eyes, and she looked terrified to be in the Alpha King's presence.Until she saw Marcus.The moment their eyes met, I felt it—the mate bond snapping into place. Both of them froze, the recognition instant and absolute."Oh," So

Luna's first birthday was both a celebration and a reminder.One year down. Four years until the Awakening.We threw a party—half the continent's packs sent representatives, curious to see the prophesied child's first birthday.Luna loved it. She'd developed enough control to mostly prevent accidental power surges, though occasionally a present would unwrap itself or a balloon would pop without being touched."Make a wish!" I encouraged as we brought out her cake—a massive creation decorated with silver wolves and a moon.Luna closed her eyes, her expression serious.I knew what she was wishing for. I could feel it through our bond.She wanted to survive her fifth birthday."Did you make a good wish?" Dante asked, lighting the candle."The best wish," Luna said solemnly.She blew out the candle—along with every other candle in the room. Power surged from her in a wave, extinguishing flames across the entire hall.Everyone laughed nervously. Luna blushed, embarrassed."Sorry," she mumb

Luna was eighteen months old when she started reading.Not picture books. Ancient texts in languages she shouldn't know.I found her in Dante's office, surrounded by books from his private collection, reading what appeared to be Latin."Luna, honey, what are you doing?""Learning about the elements, Mama." She pointed to a passage. "This book says there were originally six elements in werewolf magic, not five. But one was lost during the Great Schism."I sat down heavily. "Where did you learn to read Latin?""I didn't learn. I just... know." She looked up at me, confused. "Don't you?""No, baby. Most wolves don't speak Latin.""Oh." She seemed genuinely surprised. "I thought everyone could read all the languages.""All the languages? How many languages do you speak?"Luna counted on her fingers. "English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Latin, Ancient Greek, Sanskrit, and..." she paused, "something that doesn't have a name. The language from my dreams."My eighteen-month-old daughte

The first piece of Harmony was in Antarctica."Of course it is," I muttered, staring at the map Luna had drawn. "Why would it be somewhere warm and accessible?""Because then it would be too easy to find," Luna said seriously. She'd drawn the map from her visions—a precise layout of an underground temple buried beneath miles of ice.We assembled a team: Dante, me, Luna, Marcus (we needed our Beta), Vincent (recovered and back to full strength), and six of our best warriors."This is insane," Marcus said as we boarded the private jet. "We're taking a toddler to Antarctica.""I'm not a toddler," Luna protested. "I'm eighteen months old and very mature for my age.""She has a point," Vincent said with a grin. "She speaks nine languages. I barely speak one."The flight took fourteen hours. Luna spent most of it reading ancient texts and occasionally predicting minor events ("Vincent's going to spill his coffee in three... two... one...").She was right every time.When we landed, the cold

The oversight committee was not happy about our Antarctica trip."You took a toddler to one of the most dangerous places on Earth," Alpha Regina said, her voice tight with anger. "Without informing us. Without permission.""We don't need permission," Dante said calmly. "We're Luna's parents.""And we're her oversight committee. Appointed by the Council to ensure her safety. This was reckless.""This was necessary," I corrected. "We're finding a way to save her life during the Awakening."That gave Regina pause. "The Awakening is still years away—""Four years. And we need all six pieces of Harmony before then." I showed her the crystal shard, which Luna now kept in a protected case. "This is the first piece. Five more to find."Regina examined the shard, her expression conflicted. "I've heard legends of Harmony. If it's real, if you can reassemble it...""Then Luna survives the Awakening," Dante finished."Or it's a wild goose chase and you're wasting precious time you could spend pre

Luna was two years old, and she was teaching pack classes.Not taking them. Teaching them."The omega ranking system is outdated," she explained to a classroom full of adult wolves who'd gathered to hear the "child prodigy" speak. "It assumes weakness is genetic. But my research shows that omega wolves have the same potential for power as any other rank. They just need proper training and opportunity."She presented charts, graphs, historical data—all compiled by a two-year-old who could somehow access the pack's entire archive of knowledge."She's incredible," Marcus whispered to me. We stood in the back, watching Luna command a room full of wolves five times her age."She's terrifying," I corrected. "No two-year-old should be this smart.""Does it matter? She's using her intelligence for good. Look at them—they're actually listening."He was right. Wolves who'd been skeptical of my omega reforms were nodding along as Luna explained the benefits of merit-based ranking."Furthermore,"

The Amazon rainforest was trying to kill us.Humidity made breathing difficult. Insects swarmed constantly. And the locals warned us about jaguars, anacondas, and poisonous everything."This is worse than Antarctica," Vincent muttered, slapping at a mosquito."At least we're not freezing," Marcus countered.Luna, somehow immune to discomfort, led us confidently through the jungle. "The temple is close. Three kilometers northeast."She'd turned two a month ago, but walked and talked like someone much older. Her physical development hadn't quite caught up to her mental abilities, which created an odd contrast—the voice of a scholar coming from a toddler's body."There," she pointed.Through the trees, I saw it—a stone structure covered in vines, practically invisible unless you knew to look for it."Mayan architecture," Luna said, studying the carvings. "But older. Pre-Mayan. These symbols predate written language.""Can you read them?" Dante asked."Yes. They say: 'Only those who under
