"Josie, your brother just tried to shift and he blew up the soup," old healer yelled from war room kitchen, holding smoking pot and baby Caelum covered in carrots and honey with tiny silver-white wings flapping proudly, "he is four days old and he already tries to shift like you did at five and destroyed yourself from inside."I ran in with Lira and Mara and Tali and Nessa and little Jo, five new girls with silver hair who came yesterday because old packs cut them off and called them cursed for waking at twelve too early, and we all stared at Caelum in soup pot giggling."Mine, shift, like sister," Caelum said, his fourth day words getting longer, and he shot tiny mirror-light beam from tiny hands and soup pot that was smoking stopped smoking and became clean.My mom Gwen inside my chest laughed so hard platinum light tickled my ribs, "Xavier, look, our son tries to shift at four days, Josie tried at five and burned and destroyed herself from inside and we had to call Xavier to pour b

"Gwen, are you there, can you hear me through Josie," Cole shouted from outside east gate at sunset, his voice thin and tired and no truce banners and no armed warriors and no new Luna Candice and no son Liam now, just him alone kneeling in dust where he once knelt with renounce papers when I made him sign that I am Josie Holt-Vance not Vance and no claim to mines, "I waited outside all day like Josie said, I sent three more silver girls to your gates like Liam asked, Lira's cousin and two others waking at twelve too early and cut off like you were, please, Gwen, let me speak."I stood on wall with baby Caelum in arms, he was six days old now and flying short flights from war room kitchen to courtyard with soup pots and honey-bombing Malakor's iron mask every morning and healing little Jo yesterday when she shifted at ten and got stuck as wolf pup and shot mirror-light beam and made her shift back, and five new girls Lira and Mara and Tali and Nessa and Jo stood below wall with Queen

Caelum floated to Tree trunk and put tiny hands on bark and said, "Tree, Mama Papa want bodies, help, like you helped sister seal rift."Tree of Dawn hummed and bark opened like door and inside hollow trunk glowed soft light, and Queen Astraea whispered, "Tree remembers Gwen at twelve when she first shifted and crystal wall bowed and Tree bowed too, Tree will help."I stood before Tree with hands over chest where Mom and Dad breathed inside me for seven days, and I said, "Mom, Dad, if you become flesh again will you still breathe inside me or will you leave."My mom Gwen whispered inside me, crying happy tears, "Josie, we will breathe beside you not inside you, we will hold you with real arms like when you were five and burning on couch and I held you while you destroyed yourself from inside because wolf and dragon woke too early, and Xavier poured blood into your veins, we will be family with no boundaries and no rules but with love and real arms."My dad Xavier whispered, "Star chil

"Josie, full moon tonight, first full moon since Mom and Dad got real bodies, first full moon for fourteen new girls, first full moon for Caelum and he is only nine days old," Malakor shouted from watchtower at dusk, his iron mask finally clean after nine days of honey-bombs and soup-bombs, "and River Pack Alpha who cut off Lira is still outside east gate with Cole messenger, they hear wolves howling already, what do we do."I stood on Luna balcony with Mom and Dad, real flesh now, not lights inside my chest, and fourteen silver-haired girls below in courtyard, Lira, Mara, Tali, Nessa, Jo, Mira and her four sisters plus three midnight girls plus five girls Cole brought this morning, all thin and scared but humming warm now after Caelum's mirror-light beams at eight days old and cure vial from Tree of Dawn.Mom's real platinum hair glowed under rising moon, her Divine Silver Dragon wings out real for first time in eighteen years since she was star in higher ethers holding Dad's hand wh

Josie's POV"Josie, they are here, Mountain Pack warriors, not just Alpha, fifty warriors with torches and they brought fifteen silver girls in chains, not as daughters but as cursed wolves to burn, and Cole and River Alpha are running ahead of them with empty cure box," Malakor shouted from watchtower at dawn, his iron mask dirty again because Caelum ten days old soup-bombed him at midnight and said more sisters coming, Tree whispers fifteen in chains.I jumped from Luna bed where Mom and Dad slept with real bodies third night after eighteen years as stars and Caelum floated eleven days old now and bigger, talking like twelve year old and shooting mirror-light beams in sleep.Mom and Dad woke fast, real flesh, real Luna and Alpha."Mountain Pack Alpha who tried to burn cure vial yesterday and chased Cole and River Alpha when they carried Tree's cure made from my old blood that council drained and buried under east wall and said cursed," Mom said with real voice, not light inside me,
