"The main point here, Gali, is about Malek's mother!""I don't care about your 'main point.' You don't get to talk about my child! And like I said before, I don't know who Malek's mother is! You can threaten me all you want with your pack authority, but I can't tell you what I don't know! I've been living out in Frostfang Hollow for years, barely knowing you or Malek, let alone her! So drop it about Malek's mom and don't you dare threaten my pups! Try me, High Alpha, and see what happens!"My throat burns from screaming, my claws itching beneath my skin as my wolf snarls at his towering presence in the dark gazebo.Gali Blackmoor looms over me, his broad shoulders heaving, his dark golden eyes flashing with a predatory, lethal fire. "Sandra! Why the hell are you shouting at your Alpha?!""Jerk! Why the hell are YOU shouting at me?!" My voice echoes off the frosted stone pillars, louder and sharper than his."Jerk?" Gali’s jaw clenches hard, a muscle twitching near his ear as he takes

"I do not care about your 'main point', Gali! You do not get to dictate my life or speak over my children! And as I have sworn a thousand times, I have no knowledge of Malek's birth mother. Threaten me with your Alpha rank all you wish, but I cannot give you answers I do not possess! I have spent six winters hiding in the Frostfang countryside, knowing nothing of your Keep or your personal affairs. So drop your interrogation about Malek's mother and do not ever threaten my boys again!"My throat rasps from shouting, my wolf thrashing frantically against my ribs as I glare into the dark, silent shadows of the Grand Temple gazebo.The night wraps around us like a freezing shroud, the pale moonlight reflecting off the frosted stone pillars. They say the higher your expectations rise, the more brutal the crash when reality strikes.Tonight, Gali Blackmoor's hopes had soared to the heavens. He was convinced I had torn open his tunic because I recognized his ancient mark. He was convinced I

"Precisely, what is our next maneuver then?" the enforcer's dark voice crackles through the shadow-glass. "We have been trying to reach the High Alpha with zero success. Without his explicit command, we hold no leverage to bring down Gali Blackmoor. My Lord, did you not state that if we could establish contact with the High Alpha, you were certain he would forge a blood-pact with us? Why not use what you hold in the vault as bait? Let us throw the bait toward his territory!"Gideon Bradford narrowed his dark, reptilian eyes, taking a sip from his goblet before shaking his head. "We establish contact through the shadow-channels first.""Understood, My Lord. Furthermore, after the ancestral rites, the elder council of Myhill CrestHALL has been howling with increasing fury. Their disdain for young Malek Thorncrest grows by the hour! They blame the entire wolf-faint on Malek's broken spirit, vehemently opposing his right to inherit the High Alpha throne of Blackmoor Cresce

"Voice without a face? Ghosts, maybe? Did you see a phantom, Sandra?"Blossom’s eyes were practically bulging out of her head as I finished recounting the chilling incident in the Grand Temple courtyard."If it were just a phantom, that would be a relief," I say, my throat tight as my claws dig into my palms. "The terrifying part is that he knows! He knows about Moonveil International Port! He knows Kairo, Leori, and Evan carry Gali Blackmoor’s blood!"Blossom froze, her face draining of color. "How could any soul know? You never spoke a word of that night, not even to me or Winona! There shouldn't be a third person alive who knows! Wait, wait... have you truly confirmed that the High Alpha of Myhill CrestHALL is the one from chamber 101?"I nod slowly, the memory of his bare skin burning behind my eyes. "Aye. The mysterious voice sent me a blood-audit parchment, and I verified the crescent bite mark on his shoulder with my own eyes. There is
