Xion lunged forward without warning, his wooden blade whistling through the air in a swift, clean arc aimed at my right shoulder.Instinct took over before my brain could process the movement. The silver wolf beneath my skin surged into my muscles, lighting up my nerves like live wires. I ducked beneath his blow, the rush of air ruffling my hair, and spun on my heel, sweeping my wooden sword toward his ribs.Xion’s eyes widened in genuine surprise. He barely managed to bring his blade down to block mine, the sharp crack of wood echoing off the stone walls of the training room."Look at that footwork!" Xion grinned, his dark eyes sparkling with delight. He pushed against my sword, forcing me back a step. "You're fast, little wolf.""I had to be," I panted, resetting my stance, a fierce, unfamiliar thrill humming through my veins. "Running was the only thing I was allowed to do for twenty one years.""Not anymore," Xion murmured, his tone shifting from playful to d

The heavy timber door of the Great Archives swung open, releasing the rich, timeless aroma of ancient parchment, leather bindings, and dried rowan wood.High vaulted ceilings stretched overhead, casting soft shadows across towering shelves that held centuries of northern history. A massive stone fireplace crackled warm and bright at the center of the room, illuminating a heavy oak study table laden with sprawling maps, gilded books, and ancient wax-sealed scrolls.Xane stood by the hearth, a thick, leather-bound folio tucked under his arm. He had stripped away his formal Alpha robes for a dark gray tunic, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows to reveal the dense, faint scars running along his forearms—marks of old battles fought for the pack’s borders."Welcome to the Vault of the First Line," Xane said softly, his voice echoing with deep reverence. He pulled out a high-backed velvet armchair near the fire, gesturing for me to sit. "This is where the story of our people is

The mountains belonged to us.As the echoes of our united howl faded into the twilight, Xane broke the formation first. With a powerful leap, his coal-black frame bounded over the crest of the High Overlook, plunging straight down the steep, snow-draped slope.Without a second thought, I gave in to the wild instinct surging through my silver veins. I pushed off the icy stone, my four paws catching the deep powder of the mountain side in long, effortless strides.Freedom felt like cold air rushing through silver fur and the crunch of virgin snow beneath heavy paws.Xion was beside me in an instant, a streak of midnight shadow darting through the towering fir trees. He yipped playfully through our mental bond, a bright, mischievous echo in my head—Catch me if you can, little Luna!—before swerving hard to the left, his heavy tail flicking snow right into my face.I shook my head, my jaw parting in a silent, canine grin. The silver wolf inside me practically thrummed

The morning light filtered through the vaulted bedchamber windows, casting long golden beams across the cedar floorboards. By the time I opened my eyes, the space beside me was empty, though the lingering scent of pine, snow, and ozone kept the cold room warm.When I made my way down to the tactical courtyard an hour later—clad in reinforced leather trousers, fitted dark tunics, and wrapped in a lightweight riding cloak—the three brothers were already waiting.The courtyard was different from the indoor ring. Situated on a raised stone terrace overlooking the valley, it was equipped with heavy iron dummies, archer targets, and a massive map table carved directly from dark granite.Xane stood by the granite table, his long fingers tracing a series of carved topographies, while Xion paced near the weapon racks with a pair of short iron blades. Xenon leaned against the stone balustrade, his arms crossed over his chest, his sharp eyes taking in the entire valley below."

The heavy oak doors of the private tea room swung open with a soft, deliberate click, cutting through the quiet rustle of morning wind outside the Citadel. Sitting in a carved high-backed chair near the hearth was a woman whose presence commanded the room without a single word. She wore a sweeping gown of dark plum wool, her silvery-blonde hair braided into an intricate crown atop her head. Though lines of age and solemn wisdom framed her dark gray eyes, her posture was regal, carrying the effortless poise of a matriarch who had weathered decades of northern storms. This was Lady Vespera—the former Luna of the Northern Ridge Pack, mother to Xane, Xion, and Xenon, and one of the most powerful empaths in the northern territories. I stood in the doorway, my fingers lightly catching the fabric of my dark green dress. Xane, Xion, and Xenon stood just behind me, a wall of protective Alpha energy, but Vespera held up a single, slender hand, her sharp gaze swee
