ALBA'S POV The royal estate wasn’t a house. It was a fortress. Black stone walls. 10 feet high. Armed guards every 20 feet. Wolves patrolling the perimeter in both forms. Ares didn’t say a word the whole drive. His hand was on my thigh. Thumb moving in slow circles. Grounding me. Grounding himself. “Level 10 threat,” he said finally. “That text means Kieran’s desperate.” “What does desperate Kieran do?” “Stupid things,” he said. The gates opened. Inside: more guards. More cameras. And in the front hall, waiting, was a woman. Blonde. Tall. Red dress. And she was looking at Ares like he was hers. Ares’ jaw ticked. “Alpha King,” she said. Sweet. “I came as soon as I heard. You shouldn’t be dealing with this alone.” Ares didn’t introduce her. “Serena,” he said. Cold. “What are you doing here?” “I live here,” she said. Then her eyes landed on me. “Oh. The Luna.” She said Luna like it was a dirty word. --- My room was on the 3rd floor. Next to A

Alba's pov The word cut through the room. Ares said it, and the whole estate moved. Guards. Phones. Maps. Marcus was yelling orders. Veronica escaped 2 hours ago. With page 47. With the only copy of the second half of the prophecy. "She’s going to Nightfang," Marcus said. "Last tracker ping was 30 miles out." "Then we go," Ares said. He was already loading guns. "Now." He looked at me. "Stay here." "No," I said. "Alba—" "No," I said again. "She took something that’s about me. I’m coming." He stared at me. Jaw tight. Then he nodded once. "Fine. But you stay behind me." --- The drive was 40 minutes. Silent. Ares didn’t let go of my hand the entire time. Nightfang territory. The gates were broken. Rusted. Inside: empty. Abandoned. "She’s not here," Marcus said. "Then where?" Ares said. My phone buzzed. Unknown number. Video. Veronica. In a basement. Candles flickering. A knife on the table. And page 47 pinned to the wall wit

ALBA'S POV The Council room smelled like old stone and blood. 12 chairs. 12 alphas. And me in the middle. Standing. No chair. No Ares. No protection. I shoved my shaking hands into my pockets so they wouldn't see. If they saw me shaking, they'd take it as proof. Proof that I was unstable. Proof that I was exactly what they said I was. _Contained. For the safety of all packs._ That's what the letter said this morning, slipped under my door in that heavy cream envelope with the Council seal. Contained meant a cage. Contained meant chains. Contained meant Nightfang all over again, that cold cell, that damp smell that never left your clothes. I wasn't going back. I would rather die. "Where is the Alpha King?" Elias asked. Head alpha, 60 years old, eyes like ice. His voice echoed off the stone walls. He didn't even look at me when he spoke, like I wasn't worth eye contact. "He'll be here," Marcus said from the back, near the guards. But his voice was tight. Too tight. He kept glan

ARES' POVClaws in the dark.Aiming for her throat.I moved before I thought. My body has always been faster than my brain when it comes to her. I shoved Alba behind me with one arm and took the hit full force on my left shoulder.Pain exploded across my back. Four lines. Deep enough that I felt them hit bone."Alpha!" Marcus yelled from the top of the crypt stairs, his gun already out."Stay back!" I roared, my voice not human anymore. My wolf was right at the surface, teeth bared. "Nobody comes down!"The emergency lights flickered on. That sick yellow light that makes everything look like a horror movie.And there he was.Kael.My brother. My twin brother who we buried ten years ago.Same face. Same height, same build. We used to be impossible to tell apart as kids unless Mom put us in different colors. But his eyes were wrong. My eyes are gold when my wolf is close. His were black. No gold. No wolf. Just empty, like something had been scooped out and never put back."Miss me?" he

ARES POVI can feel it leaving mePain. That is the first thing. Fire under my skin. Gray spreading across my shoulder. And her screaming.I tried to say ALBA, but it came out as a whisper.The floor was cold under me. Her hands were on my face. Shaking. Stay with me. Please do not leave me. I cannot do this without you.I wanted to tell her I was not going anywhere. That I promised. But the wolfsbane was already in my blood.I could feel it. My wolf. Screaming. Clawing. Get it out. Get it out.I cannot, I told him. It is too late.Get him up, Alba yelled. Someone help me.Kael was laughing.You did this, she screamed at him. You monster.Me? Kael said. He jumped. That is love, baby.I opened my eyes. Saw him standing there watching.Rage hit me. I tried to move. Nothing. My limbs were heavy like stone.Get him to the car, Alba said. Her voice breaking. Now.Strong arms under me. Marcus. Got you, Alpha, he said.They carried me out. The cold hit my skin, and it felt good. Numb.Alba w
