AUREN"Elara, I need more yarrow, hurry please."I didn't look up from the patient's arm, the discoloration had spread overnight. Not as fast as before, but faster than I wanted.Elara didn't move, I glanced at her.She stood by the herb shelf, her back to me, reorganizing jars that didn't need reorganizing."Elara?""I heard you before, I am not deaf." She snapped.She pulled down a jar, walked over and set it on the table beside me."You need to crush it first," I said quietly. "It won't absorb otherwise.""I know how to prepare yarrow. I started healing before you thought about it.""I didn't say you didn't Elara."She said nothing and walked back to the shelf. I ended up crushing the leaves myself.***The morning passed without my knowledge, patients flowed in and out of the healing wing. Word had spread faster than I expected, Villagers from neighboring settlements had begun arriving. Not just from Emberfall, from places I had never heard of, places I couldn't find on any map.

"Dear healer Maelis"A palace servant bowed at the entrance of the Healing Wing."The Alpha requests yours and Auren's presence in the Great Hall."I looked up from the herbs I was grinding. "Now?""Yes, Healer."I wiped my hands on my tunic. "Did he say why?""No, Healer."I glanced at Maelis. She was organizing the supply shelf, her back to me. “What could he need us for?” I asked, dismissing the servants.“I don't know unless we find out”She wiped her hands clean and directed an apprentice to watch over the patients "We will be back soon."I followed Maelis through the corridors.The palace was different tonight. Lanterns burned brighter than usual, servants rushed past with silver trays, musicians tuned their instruments near the main entrance.Noble families walked through the halls in their finest clothes.I turned around, taking in the colorful surroundings. Everything was arranged with perfect precision, as though every piece belonged exactly where it was."Maelis, what is g

MELVIN "Your pulse is steady, Alpha." Old Yarrow's fingers pressed against my wrist. Her eyes were fixed on the wall behind me, avoiding my face. I sat on the edge of her examination table, the room was small, cramped. Herbs hung from the ceiling in dried bundles, dried flowers filled every shelf. A single window let in pale afternoon light, dust motes floated through the air. I had collapsed during training. I told myself it was exhaustion, even told my Beta the same thing and the guards who rushed to my side. "I'm fine," I had said. "I am just tired." Now I sat in Yarrow's chamber, and she hadn't spoken in three full minutes. She walked toward her worktable. Her back turned to me, she picked up a vial, turned it over in her hands and set it down, she picked up another. "Your bloodwork suggests otherwise Alpha," she murmured. I frowned. "Suggest what? How do you mean?" She didn't answer, I saw her eyes shift into shock, she busied herself with the vials. Arrangin

RONAN'S POV"Captain Edrik recommends reinforcing the southern crossing."Beta Kael's voice cut through the war chamber. I stared at the map spread across the table, markers indicated recent rogue activity, livestock disappearing, two border patrols attacked, survivors describing unusual shadows.I heard the words but my mind went somewhere else, a different voice echoed in my mind, Auren's laugh flashed in front of me, the way she had smiled in the garden."...Alpha?"I blinked. "I'm sorry, what did you say?"Kael paused, his eyes flickered toward me. "Captain Edrik recommends reinforcing the southern crossing."I pressed my palms against the table, the wood was cool beneath my fingers."Ok then, do it."Kael nodded slowly. "I'll assign the rotation immediately."The head scout leaned forward. "The attacks are becoming coordinated, Alpha. This isn't random. Someone is directing them."The border captain added, "We have tracked movement patterns, they are avoiding the main patrol rout

Melvin's POV The darkness didn't make me sleep. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, my body still but my mind refused to stay quiet. Nile since a long while stirred beneath my skin, restless, pacing, something was wrong. “West” Nile’s voice echoed, I pushed it away. I pressed my palm against my chest, my heart beat steady beneath my fingers, I felt a pulse I couldn't understand. Nile didn't settle, he hadn't settled in weeks. I sat up and swung my legs over the edge of the bed, the floor was cold beneath my bare feet, dawn hadn't broken yet, the room was still wrapped in shadow, the only light came from the dying embers in the hearth. I reached for my tunic and dressed, my fingers moved sharply, I had done this a thousand times. Then my eyes drifted toward the desk, the physician's report sat there, folded, locked away. I hadn't opened it again, but I remembered every word. “Alpha... there are only two possibilities. Either the Moon Goddess has performed a miracle
