Brynn Hollis' POVThe cave walls blurred around me.Grandmother. The Shepherd's sister was my grandmother. Morwen—not the seer, not the enemy—family."I don't understand," I said. "Elena never mentioned a mother.""Elena didn't know. Selene wiped her memory, just like she tried to wipe yours." Morwen sat across from me, her silver hair catching the torchlight. "I was young when I had her. Too young. The Shepherd—my sister—convinced me to give Elena to a foster pack. She said it was safer.""Was it?""No. Selene found her anyway. Used her. Manipulated her. By the time I realized, it was too late."---I touched the locket."You've been watching me my whole life.""Not watching. Hoping. I couldn't intervene—Selene's spies were everywhere. But when you killed the Shepherd, when you broke the Council, I saw a chance.""A chance for what?""To finally end this. Selene. The prophecy. The cycle of wolves trying to control other wolves.""And you want my help.""I want to give you the tools t

Brynn Hollis' POVThe winter solstice arrived with a blizzard.Snow swallowed the world. The gates of Silver Creek were barely visible. The wolves on the walls stood like statues, their fur crusted with ice.Selene's army came at dusk.Not through the gate—through the storm itself. Wolves emerged from the white, silent, their eyes glowing red. Hundreds of them."She's using the blizzard as cover," Farrah said."Then we use the bond."I closed my eyes. Reached through the stone.Every wolf in Silver Creek felt it—my voice, my warmth, my direction.Hold the line. Protect your families. We will not fall.The pack howled.---Selene walked through the gate.She didn't need to hide. She wanted to be seen. White fur, white cloak, white eyes. Beautiful and terrible."Daughter," she called. "Come out. Let's end this."I stepped onto the wall."I'm not your daughter.""You share my blood. You carry my power. You will join me or die.""I will neither."She laughed."So like your father. Stubbor

Brynn Hollis' POVKaelen stayed.After the Council fell, after Selene was imprisoned, after the Circle voted on justice, he remained in Silver Creek. Not as a prisoner—as a guest. Morwen vouched for him."He's loyal to me. And I'm loyal to you.""That doesn't make him loyal to me.""It makes him loyal to the same cause."I watched Kaelen from across the training yard. He was sparring with Farrah—silent, efficient, never smiling."Does he ever talk?" I asked."Only when necessary.""And now?"Morwen smiled. "He thinks you're going to ask him to be the Circle's ambassador to the northern territories.""Is he right?""He hopes so."---I called Kaelen to my study that evening.He sat across from me, still as stone. The scar on his hand caught the firelight."Morwen thinks you want to be ambassador.""I want to be useful.""The Circle needs someone in the north. Someone the remaining packs trust. Someone who knows the terrain, the politics, the wolves.""I know those things.""I also need

Brynn Hollis' POVThe locket led us to the valley.Not the Moonshadow ruins—somewhere deeper, hidden between mountains that didn't appear on any map. Morwen guided us, following a trail she'd walked only once, decades ago."The third mother," she said. "Selene wasn't the only one. The Shepherd wasn't the only one. There was another. The one who started everything."I rode beside her, Dax on my other side. Farrah and Lyssa scouted ahead."Who was she?""Her name was Seraphina. She was the first Luna of Many Faces. And she's still alive."---The valley was hidden by a waterfall.We rode through it—cold, drenching, the horses skittish. On the other side, a paradise. Green grass, wildflowers, a lake so clear it reflected the sky.And at the lake's edge, a cottage.Smoke curled from the chimney."She's expecting us," Morwen said."How do you know?""Because she sees everything."---Seraphina opened the door before we knocked.She was old—ancient—but her eyes were sharp. Gray hair, wrinkl

Brynn Hollis' POVThe cycle was broken.The prophecy was fulfilled. The Shepherd was gone, Selene was imprisoned, the Council was scattered. We had the stone, the medallion, the bond.But the Silence was still out there.Not the quiet of peace—the wolf. The seventh member of the Council, the one with no face, the one who could erase wolves from memory. He had vanished after the Council fell. No one knew where.I should have been relieved.Instead, I was haunted.---The nightmares started a week after we returned from the cave.I dreamed of wolves I didn't recognize, their faces blurred, their voices fading. They called my name, but I couldn't hear them. They reached for me, but I couldn't feel them.Waking, I remembered nothing.But the stone around my neck was cold."The Silence is near," Morwen said. "He's trying to erase you from the minds of those who love you.""He can't erase me from the bond.""He can try."---Dax noticed the change first."Brynn, you've been distant. Distrac
