The footsteps of the small group echoed softly against the damp stone walls as they moved deeper into the subterranean passage.Clara walked closely by Elena’s side, her flashlight beam cutting through the dim fog of the tunnel. Up ahead, Jax and Leo kept a sharp watch like quiet little hunters, while Maya held tightly to her mother’s hand.Clara walked beside Elena, holding a small flashlight she had found in her jacket pocket. Jax and Leo walked at the front of the small group like silent little hunters, their small boots making almost no sound on the smooth floor. Maya walked right beside Elena, her hand held tight in her mother's grip."How much farther, El?" Clara asked in a soft whisper, her arms brushing dry stone dust from her jacket."We are almost at the end," Elena answered, her voice calm and steady. "The tunnel goes up right behind the old stone mill at the northern border line.""And the silver wolves?" Clara asked, looking back over her shoulder into the dark passage.E

The cold mountain rain continued to pour through the shattered window frame, hitting the old oak floorboards with a relentless, heavy patter. The cramped interior of the keeper’s cottage smelled suffocatingly thick, a nauseating mixture of burnt gunpowder, wet wool, copper blood, and the acrid, chemical stench of sizzling Wolfsbane oil.Elena knelt on the wet floor, her hands pressing brutally hard over the gaping hole in the left side of Julian’s chest. The black, venomous fluid laced within the refined silver round was reacting violently with his royal bloodstream. Under his pale skin, thick black veins crawled outward from the entry wound like living spiderwebs, twisting up his throat toward his jawline. Every time he tried to draw a breath, a wet, rattling sound echoed from deep within his lungs."Don't die on me now, Julian," Elena spat, her voice cold and sharp as cracked glass. She grabbed him by his collar, shaking him slightly. "You don't get off that easy. Your life belongs

The wind coming off the high mountain pass carried the sharp smell of cold pine and wet iron. Rain drizzled over the mud, but the stranger standing at the tree line didn't even blink as water ran down their nose.Elena didn't let go of the leather reins. Her knuckles turned white against the wet straps. Behind her in the cart, Clara immediately pulled Jax, Leo, and Maya behind her skirts, her hand reaching down to grab a heavy iron bolt lying in the hay. The silver wolves spread out in a silent half-circle, their teeth bared, muscles tense and ready to spring.The stranger didn't draw a weapon. Instead, they took three slow, steady steps forward into the flickering red glow of the dying Council war flare.As the dark hood fell back further, the faint light caught a thin, silver scar running from the stranger's left eyebrow down to their jaw. It wasn't an old man. It was a woman, her dark hair braided tightly along her skull, her silver eyes glowing with the exact same cold energy as E

The underground room was shaking so hard that stones fell from the high ceiling. Water splashed everywhere. Small white drops sprayed into the air like ice-cold rain.Elena pulled her knife out. She wiped wet dark hair away from her eyes. In front of her, giant stone men were walking closer. Their heavy feet made a loud THUD, THUD, THUD sound against the wet floor. Their big purple eyes burned in the dark room.Behind her, ropes slid down from the big iron drill machine. Bad men in black leather suits dropped down the ropes one by one. They landed in the shallow river with sharp splashes, pulling out long swords and silver crossbows."Take them down!" Gideon shouted from high up on the metal drill. His voice sounded like rolling thunder inside the cave. "Kill the traitor Alpha first! Do not let him speak! Execute the human and the brats!”"Garrick! Kaelen!" Elena called out to her silver guards, using their names over the mental link as she stepped into a fighting stance. "Hold the re

The iron blade felt freezing cold in Elena’s hand. Black smoke rolled through the gap in the giant doors, thick with the smell of sulfur and burned fat. Outside, Chief Elder Gideon was screaming orders, his loud voice bouncing off the high stone ceiling like iron hammers."Set the third charge!" Gideon yelled. "Blow the hinges off! Bring me the woman alive! Kill the rest!"*BOOM!*The iron doors groaned. Bright orange sparks shot across the white marble floor, lighting up the glowing glass cases. Dust fell from above, coating the kids' hair in fine white powder."Elena!" Clara screamed, grabbing Leo and Maya by their coats and pulling them further behind the stone pillar. "Don't do it! Don't cut yourself!""Queen, step back!" Vanya barked, her broadsword raised high as she stepped between Elena and the altar. "We can hold the door gap! Garrick and Kaelen can choke the hall!""We can't hold thirty men and a drill machine, Vanya!" Elena shouted back over the roar of the smoke. Her eyes
