~AMARIS There was nothing.No sound. No light.No ground beneath my feet.I opened my eyes, but it made no difference. Darkness stretched in every direction, so complete that I couldn't even tell whether my eyes were actually open.Where was I?I tried to move, but my body felt strangely weightless.“Hello?”My voice disappeared into the darkness, echoing around me.No answer.I turned slowly, searching for anything that could tell me where I was. A wall. A door. A light. Anything.Nothing.Then I felt it.A pull.It started somewhere deep inside me, so faint at first that I almost mistook it for my imagination.Then it grew stronger.Something was pulling at me but not my body.It was pulling at something deeper.My soul.I stumbled backward, trying to resist it.“What is happening?”The force became stronger.I planted my feet against nothing, desperately trying to hold myself in place, but whatever had found me was far more powerful.It dragged at me again.Harder.I reached into

~AMARIS That night, my mind refused to quiet. I hadn't gotten another chance to speak with Willow after she left earlier that day, and without her, I had no one to help me make sense of the questions that had been piling up in my head. What should have been a hopeful discovery had somehow left me more unsettled than before. I lay awake in the crook of Varg's arm in the darkness, staring at the ceiling, my head on his chest. Varg was asleep beside me, his breathing deep and steady. Each slow breath vibrated faintly through the silence, completely at odds with the chaos inside my head. I envied him. How easily he could surrender to sleep while I remained trapped inside my own thoughts. My fingers tightened around the edge of the blanket. What had happened earlier kept returning to me, not as a comforting miracle, but as a question I couldn't answer. Why? Why was this happening to me? I had spent so long believing that Silver Decay was slowly taking everything from me. The pai

~AMARIS “Relax baby, you'll find out soon enough.” I stared at the back of Varg as he continued down the hallway. Relax? That was easy for him to say. I tightened my fingers around the strap of my small handbag and followed him, my thoughts already running in several different directions. Something was different this morning. I had noticed it the moment he woke me. The breakfast on the terrace. The way he had been unusually deliberate about everything. Even the way he had looked at me when I came out of the bathroom had felt different. Varg wasn't a man who did things without a reason. If he wanted something, he usually said it. If something needed to be done, he gave an order. So why was he keeping this one thing from me? I glanced at him again. He walked ahead of me with his usual confidence, his black clothes making his already imposing figure seem even more severe against the pale morning light spilling through the tall windows. “Varg?” He looked over his shoulder

~AMARIS By the time the healer arrived, the sun had already begun its slow descent toward the western mountains. I had spent most of the afternoon waiting. Waiting had never been something I was good at, but that day it felt almost unbearable. Every passing minute seemed to stretch the uncertainty inside me even further, especially because I had no idea what answer I was hoping for. Part of me wanted the healer to tell me that I had been overthinking everything. That there was a perfectly ordinary explanation for what had been happening to my body. That the strange relief I experienced whenever Varg touched me was nothing more than coincidence. Another part of me was terrified that she would tell me the exact opposite. That something was terribly wrong. I sat near the tall windows of the Alpha's private sitting room, watching the last traces of sunlight spill across the floor. My fingers were intertwined tightly in my lap, and every few moments, I found myself glancing toward

~GRAY I was halfway down the eastern corridor when I saw her. A woman I had never seen before was walking toward me from the direction of the Alpha's wing. I slowed. My brows pulled together, my steps slowing instantly as I watched her pass. She carried a worn leather bag against her side, her clothes unlike anything the women of Iron-Howl usually wore. The long, layered fabric, the strange markings embroidered around the sleeves, the small collection of ornaments around her neck... everything about her looked completely foreign. A spiritual healer. She looked strongly like one of them. I had heard that some packs still relied on them. But that wasn't what bothered me at that moment. What really bothered me was … What was one doing here? More importantly….Why was she coming from his wing? I turned my head slightly as she continued down the corridor. My instincts immediately sharpened. Something had happened. Definitely. I just didn't know what it was. I continued toward th
