Two days later...The Silver Night envoys arrived at Red Claw.The sound of their arrival echoed through the courtyards of the Pack House as warriors stepped aside, allowing the visitors safe passage beneath the towering black banners of the Red Claw Pack.Inside the Council Chamber...Every seat had been occupied.Alpha Darius sat upon the Alpha's seat, calm and commanding.At his right sat Luna Mira.Standing below them were Commander Rogan, Commander Megan, Alora, the Council Elders, the Red Claw commanders, and, farther behind, the surviving wolves of Midnight men and women who had long learned to hide their grief beneath quiet obedience.Among them...Luna Seraphine stood gracefully.Twenty-two years had passed.Time had matured her beauty without stealing it.She remained elegant.Gentle.Composed.Only those who looked closely could still see the sadness hidden behind her peaceful smile.The Silver Night envoy stepped forward before kneeling.He lifted a sealed scroll bearing th

Morning settled peacefully over the small wolf territory.Unlike the great Packs that ruled through Alphas and Commanders...This was an independent territory.No Alpha.No Beta.No standing warriors.Only ordinary wolves who lived quietly beneath the Moon Goddess.Some farmed.Some hunted.Some traded with neighboring territories.Their greatest weapon...Was peace.Children laughed as they chased one another across the open fields.Old wolves repaired wooden fences damaged by the previous night's rain.Until...A loud horn echoed from the entrance.The laughter stopped.Heads turned.Then they came.Nine rogue wolves strode into the territory without permission.Scarred.Armed.Merciless.Their leader dragged an enormous battle axe across the ground, leaving a deep trail in the earth.A cruel smile spread across his face."So...""This is where you've all been hiding."No one answered.The eldest wolf stepped forward, leaning heavily on his walking staff."This territory has no quarr

The Red Claw Pack House had never been quieter.Not because there was peace...But because everyone was busy preparing for the next phase of Red Claw's expansion.Inside the strategy chamber, maps covered the long table.Borders.Trade routes.Territory lines.Patrol positions.Everything belonged to the growing Pack.Alpha Darius stood over it all.Beside him...Jarek listened carefully as his father discussed the latest reports.Selene stood nearby.Quiet.Attentive.Her eyes followed every movement across the map.Then a messenger entered.He bowed."Alpha."Darius looked up."Speak.""The northern forest has become increasingly difficult to patrol.""Several hunting parties have reported strange movements."Darius frowned."What kind of movements?""Unidentified wolves.""Some believe rogues have been crossing the outer boundary."Rogan stepped forward."We should send warriors."Darius nodded."We will."Then his eyes moved toward Selene.She had been studying the map."Selene."S

Varek finally stepped from the shadows.Selene looked up at him through tears.Her eyes burned with hatred."You planned this."Varek's expression remained cold."I planned for your father to suffer."His eyes dropped to Simon's body."And unfortunately...""He brought me an unexpected gift."Selene's hands clenched.A faint movement came beneath her hands.Selene stopped breathing.Simon's fingers twitched.Her eyes widened."Simon?"Nothing.Then…..A shallow breath escaped his lips.Selene stared at him in disbelief."He's alive."The words barely left her mouth.Varek stepped out of the darkness."Of course he is."Selene slowly turned toward him.Her eyes burned."You..."Varek looked down at Simon."I could have killed him."He paused."But that would have been too easy."Selene's jaw tightened."What do you want?""Now you're asking the right question."Varek walked closer."The boy is strong."He glanced at Simon."Stronger than I expected.""He tore through my men.""He broke

Selene remained still.Her fingers were still wrapped around the weakened rope.Then….Something strange happened.Her heartbeat changed.Once.Twice.Her breath caught.She slowly placed a hand against her chest.The sensation was unfamiliar.Warm...Brief...Almost comforting.Her wolf stirred beneath her.Not with fear.Not with warning.Something else.Something she couldn't name.Selene frowned."What was that?"She remained still for another heartbeat.Nothing.The strange sensation had already disappeared.She slowly lowered her hand.There was no time to think about it.Her eyes returned to the rope.She continued cutting.The sharp fragment scraped against the fibers.Slowly.Carefully.She couldn't afford a mistake.Not here.Not inside Varek's territory.Not surrounded by trained rogues who would gladly drag her back the moment they realized she had escaped.Her eyes remained cold.Focused.The rope had already weakened.She only needed one final effort.Scrape.Scrape.The
