Emily couldn't breathe.Her father sat motionless on the stone throne.His face was older.His hair was streaked with gray.There were scars across his face that Emily had never seen before.But it was him.She knew it.Every part of her knew it.And yet the thing looking out through his eyes was not her father."Dad?"His head tilted slightly."Emily."The voice sounded almost normal.Almost.She took a step forward.Kael caught her hand."Wait."Emily looked at him."That's my father.""I know.""I have to go to him.""Not yet."Her father's eyes shifted toward Kael.The blackness inside them seemed to deepen."You."Kael stiffened."Me."Her father smiled."You are the problem."Kael stepped forward."If you're really Emily's father, tell me something only he would know."The man on the throne stared at him.Then he said quietly,"She used to hide underneath the kitchen table whenever her parents argued."Emily's heart stopped.He continued."She'd sit there with her knees pulled a

Emily and Kael ran side by side.The battlefield seemed to slow around them.Wolves moved through the smoke.Silver arrows cut through the air.The ancient kingdom shook beneath their feet.But Emily could only see one thing.Her father.He stood inside the black mist, his body fighting against whatever had taken control of him."Emily!"His voice broke through the darkness."Don't come any closer!"She didn't stop."Dad!"Kael glanced at her."What's your plan?""I don't know!"He actually laughed."That's comforting.""I'll figure it out!""That's more like you."They reached the creature.It swung one enormous arm.Kael shoved Emily aside.The blow struck him instead.He went flying."KAEL!"He crashed against the stone wall.Emily spun toward him.He was already getting up."I'm fine!""You are absolutely not fine!""I'll explain later!"The creature roared.Emily turned.Its black eyes locked onto hers.You cannot save them both.Emily's silver eyes flashed."Watch me."She reach

Emily couldn't move.The woman standing before her looked impossibly familiar.Not because Emily had ever seen her before.Because something inside Emily recognized her.The silver crown rested against the woman's dark hair. Her eyes were the same unusual shade of silver as Emily's. A crescent mark sat beneath her left eye, identical to the one Emily had carried since the night the bond awakened.Kael stepped closer to Emily."Who are you?"The woman smiled."I already told you."Her eyes never left Emily."I am the first Moonblood queen."Emily swallowed."And you said I'm your daughter.""Not in the way you mean."Emily frowned."Then what do you mean?"The woman stepped closer."You are my bloodline."Emily stared."My ancestor.""Yes."Emily glanced at Kael."Then why does she look my age?"The woman laughed softly."Because this isn't the present."Emily's stomach dropped."What?"Kael looked around.The battlefield was gone.The hidden kingdom was gone.Her parents were gone.Th

The word echoed through the kingdom.War.Emily stood frozen.Thousands of wolves had their heads lowered.The ancient Alpha stood at the center of them all, his golden eyes fixed on her and Elara.Kael's hand tightened around Emily's.She could feel his wolf pushing against his skin.Not fear.Not exactly.Something deeper.A warning.Emily looked toward her grandfather."You said you're my grandfather."The ancient Alpha nodded."Yes.""Then why does everyone look terrified of you?"A faint smile crossed his face."Because they remember.""Remember what?""What I did."Emily glanced at her father.He looked away.That told her enough."What did you do?"Her grandfather's expression became unreadable."I built this kingdom.""That's not what I asked."Silence.Emily stepped forward."What did you do?"The ancient Alpha's eyes narrowed."I ended a war."Her father finally spoke."No."Everyone turned.Emily's father stepped forward, still weak but standing."You started one."The anci

The kingdom went completely dark.Not dim.Not shadowed.Dark.Every silver lantern disappeared at once.The glowing rivers beneath the kingdom stopped.The castle windows went black.Even the moonlight vanished.Emily couldn't see Kael.She couldn't see Elara.She couldn't see her parents.But she could still feel them.The bond.Kael's heartbeat.Elara's fear.Her father's racing heart.And beneath all of it...Another heartbeat.Slow.Ancient.Boom.Emily's breath caught.Boom.Kael whispered from somewhere beside her."Emily.""I'm here."His hand found hers."Don't let go.""I won't."Elara grabbed Emily's other hand."I'm here too."Emily squeezed both of them.The darkness seemed to notice.Something moved beyond them.A whisper slid through the kingdom.Three bloodlines.Emily's skin prickled.One bond.Kael's wolf growled.Then a woman's voice came from the darkness.And one mistake.Emily turned toward the sound."Who are you?"A laugh answered.Soft.Beautiful.Terrifying.
