SEVENThe territory erupted before I even had time to understand how quickly Mikka's plan had worked. Wolves poured out from the different paths around the main grounds, some carrying weapons, others shifting halfway as they ran, their growls mixing with angry voices and the sound of feet striking the earth. For the first time since I had returned to my father's territory, I was not looking at a group of wolves waiting to see whether I was worthy of their respect. They were moving with purpose, and many of them were moving toward me. I stood at the front with my wolf pushing against my skin, but I knew I was not the one controlling this battlefield alone.Mikka was behind the first line of fighters, moving from one group to another with two trusted wolves beside her. She did not carry a weapon, yet she looked more dangerous than some of the wolves holding blades because she was watching everything. Her eyes moved across the grounds, counting numbers, checking positions, and noticing e

SEVENThe false Alpha shifted his weight again, and I knew exactly what he was about to do. His left foot turned slightly, his shoulder dropped, and his eyes locked onto my chest as he prepared to charge. A few minutes ago, I might have met him with everything I had, but Mikka's voice was still clear in my head, telling me to watch him instead of rushing him. I kept my eyes on him and waited, forcing my wolf to stay behind me even though it was already pushing hard against my control. The false Alpha suddenly roared and came at me with all his strength, and I waited until the last possible second before moving.His fist passed close enough to my face for me to feel the wind from it, but I stepped aside instead of blocking it. The false Alpha lost his balance for half a second because he had put too much power into the attack, and that was all I needed. I turned quickly and drove my fist into his left side, exactly where Mikka had told me to strike. The sound of the impact was loud in

MIKKAThe howl continued to echo in my mind long after the sound had disappeared into the mountains, and even when the wolves slowly returned to their celebrations, I could not bring myself to smile. Everyone was trying to act as if nothing had happened, but I had seen the way their faces changed when the second howl came, and I knew I was not the only one who felt that something terrible was approaching. Seven stayed close to me, his fingers often brushing against mine as if he could sense the questions running through my head. His father, however, had barely spoken since the sound, and whenever someone mentioned the mountains, his face became even more troubled. I wanted to ask him what he knew, but before I could find the right words, a group of exhausted wolves hurried into the clearing."Alpha Seven!" one of them called, stopping in front of us with his chest rising and falling. "We have a serious problem."Seven immediately straightened."Tell me."The scout looked at Seven's fa

SEVENI returned to the territory with the map folded beneath my arm and more questions in my head than I had answers. The journey back from the abandoned settlement felt longer than the journey there, perhaps because I could no longer look at the trees and mountains without wondering what my father had been hiding from me. His handwriting was on those records, and the future date beside my territory was not something I could pretend I had misunderstood. Someone had been tracking the Alpha families, recording their movements, and waiting for something to happen, and I needed to know why my father's name was connected to it. By the time the pack's main buildings came into view, my anger had grown almost as strong as my fear.I found my father in the room where the elders had been meeting, studying a collection of old papers spread across the table. He raised his head when I entered, and the moment he saw the map beneath my arm, his expression changed. He did not ask where I had found i

SEVENThe moment I arrived at the council hall, I knew I was walking into a fight that had nothing to do with claws or teeth. The room was filled with powerful Alphas, their advisers, and warriors who stood behind them like silent warnings, while the air carried the heavy feeling of people who had already decided how the meeting would end. I kept my shoulders straight as I walked toward the seat reserved for me, refusing to show how much their cold stares bothered me. I had reclaimed my father's territory, but these people had decided to treat my return as if I had committed a crime. If they wanted to challenge my right to lead, they would have to do it openly instead of hiding their intentions behind polite words."Alpha Seven," an older man said as I sat down. "We appreciate your willingness to appear before this council.""Then I hope you are equally willing to hear the truth," I replied.A few Alphas exchanged looks, but the man only gave me a thin smile."We are here to discuss y
