The scream ripped through the night like a blade, cutting through every ounce of calm the pack had built over the past few weeks.By the time Lucas, Alex, and I burst from the pack house, wolves were already flooding into the clearing. Doors flew open. Lanterns flickered to life. Confused voices mixed with hurried footsteps as warriors rushed toward the source of the disturbance.A third scream echoed from the western side of the settlement.This time I recognized the voice.Mira.Fear shot through me.Without hesitation, I broke into a run."Scarlett!" Lucas shouted behind me.I ignored him.The bond between us pulsed with alarm as I raced through the darkness, weaving between buildings and startled pack members. Branches snapped beneath my boots as I crossed the training grounds and headed toward the storage huts near the forest edge.By the time I arrived, several wolves had already gathered.Mira stood in the center of the clearing, pale and shaken.Beside her lay the body of a sc

The letter remained clenched in my hand long after Alex and Lucas stopped speaking.For several moments, the world around me seemed distant, as though I were standing behind a wall of glass, watching everything unfold from somewhere far away. The council hall, the worried faces, the sound of wolves moving outside, all of it faded beneath the weight of one impossible truth.My brother was alive.Not a memory.Not a ghost.Not a dream my heart had invented because it could not bear the loss.Alive.The realization settled over me in waves, each one stronger than the last.For years, I had carried his death like a wound that never fully healed. Every choice I made after that day had been shaped by grief in one way or another. I had accepted his loss because there had been no body to find and no answers to chase. Everyone had told me the same thing.He was gone.And eventually, I believed them.Now that certainty had shattered.Lucas remained beside me as the silence stretched between us.

The forest seemed different after Rachel's confession.Not because the trees had changed or because the wind carried a different scent. It felt different because every certainty Scarlett had held onto for years had begun to crack beneath her feet.The journey back toward the pack house passed beneath a sky covered in heavy clouds. No one spoke much. The silence between them was not peaceful silence. It was the kind that settled after wounds had been opened and everyone was still trying to understand how deep the damage truly went.Scarlett walked beside Lucas, though her thoughts remained far away.Rachel's words refused to leave her mind."I never wanted it to go this far."The confession echoed through her thoughts again and again.For years Rachel had stood beside her.She had comforted her.Encouraged her.Supported every decision she made.Now Scarlett could no longer tell which moments had been real and which had been carefully crafted lies.Lucas watched her quietly as they cro

The corridor erupted into motion the second the young warrior finished speaking.Shock flashed across every face gathered there, but it lasted only a moment before instinct took over. Warriors rushed toward the lower levels while others headed outside to secure the perimeter. Orders flew through the hallways as fear spread through the pack house faster than wildfire.Lucas's expression hardened immediately."Lock every entrance," he commanded. "Nobody leaves the territory without my approval. Double the guards at every watch post."The warriors moved at once. Scarlett stood frozen for half a heartbeat, her mind struggling to process what she had just heard."We're already inside." Those words felt far worse than any threat delivered from outside their borders. Because if the message was true, then the danger wasn't approaching. It was already here. Lucas turned toward Ethan."Come with me." Ethan nodded sharply."Already moving."The four of them hurried toward the holding cells bene

The words struck Scarlett harder than any blow she had ever taken.For a moment, the entire clearing seemed to disappear around her. The wolves, the trees, the cold wind moving through the branches, everything faded beneath the weight of those three impossible words.Hello, little sister.Her chest tightened painfully.The man standing before her looked nothing like the boy she remembered. Time had carved sharp angles into his face. His dark hair brushed his shoulders, and scars marked the exposed skin of his neck and jaw. Strength radiated from him in quiet waves, the kind that came from surviving battles most people never lived through.Yet his eyes.Those eyes stopped her heart.Emerald green.The same shade as hers.The same shade as their mother's.Lucas immediately stepped forward, placing himself between Scarlett and the stranger."Stay where you are," he growled.The man's gaze shifted toward Lucas, though his expression remained surprisingly calm."I didn't come here to fight
