Chapter eleven DEMINDemin couldn't recall the path back to the palace.The forest just seemed to vanish around him as he ran back along the path taken to arrive there, his wolf pushing him forward with an urgency he had never felt before. He didn't know what compelled him to, but he had a sudden feeling that something was wrong with Rein and that he needed to find her.He reached the palace and ran through the halls, his heart pounding in his ears.Then he saw her.Rein stood in the centre of the hallway, a hand pressed against the wall as if to steady herself. Her head was lower than normal, and her usual lively expression was gone. Even from where he was, Demin could tell she was exhausted."Rein?"She looked up at the sound of his voice.Demin quickly ran up to her side, "What's wrong?"She opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came. Her eyes fluttered shut, and her body swayed.Demin caught her just before she hit the ground."Don't," he muttered, pushing her off, "

Chapter thirteen DEMINThe night air was nipping at Demin's skin as he crouched behind an imposing set of trees that shielded the view ahead of him. Six guards lingered behind him, waiting for the signal. Their weapons were out and prepared; the target was within the compound ahead.It was not an entire pack. Not a war.Just one man.A man who had been hopping around territories with a heavy amount of protection and was now causing trouble for Ravenclaw.Demin raised two fingers. The men shifted."Stay behind me....not a sound."A few seconds passed, and he was already moving. Two of the guards took a route to come up on either side of the eastern gate while Demin charged straight through the middle of the compound.The first wolf barely had time to react before Demin knocked him out of the way. Another charged him, but Demin only caught the wolf and sent him tumbling into the earth.The rest quickly followed; within minutes, the compound was silent.Demin walked through th

Chapter fifteen REINRavenclaw had never looked this crowded.By midmorning, the palace courtyard had filled with wolves who had travelled from the neighbouring packs for the Moonbound Trials. Different pack colours snaked through the crowd, banners waving from the stone walls as usual order in the palace was forgotten in favour of conversations, laughter, greetings and the occasional argument between warriors who had apparently decided to start competing before the actual competition began.Rein stood on the upper balcony with her camera pushed up against her face, desperately trying to capture everything before she missed it.A group of younger warriors posed beside one of the pack banners until they happened to notice her pointing the camera in their direction.One immediately straightened.His friend shoved him."Stop showing off.""I wasn't.""You've been flexing for five minutes."Rein laughed behind the camera, and she captured the picture anyway.Kiara leaned again

Chapter Seventeen REINThe palace was still carrying the energy of the Moonstone Hunt the following morning.The visiting packs had settled into their temporary rooms, but the halls remained busy with wolves discussing the previous day's results. Every few minutes, Rein caught pieces of conversation as she passed arguments over which contestant had made the smartest choice, complaints about the decoy stones, and exaggerated retellings of how close some of the wolves had come to breaking their necks in Ravenwood.Back in her room, she sat near the window with her camera resting against her thigh, going through the photographs she had taken during the trial.She had captured far more than she remembered.The contestants appeared in different stages of the competition: crouched beneath trees, climbing over fallen trunks, searching around exposed roots, returning to the clearing covered in mud. Some photographs were almost too ordinary to keep, while others captured expressions she had c

Chapter NineteenDEMINDemin awoke before the sun had risen and knew immediately that he had not caught any sleep.He had been reliving the events of the Iron Trial in his head most of the night, though as soon as he reached the end of it, his mind refused to go any further.Kanem had been beneath him. Someone's hands had been in the air, shouting. His body had been moving almost instinctively as it always was when fighting, until something deep inside of him had forced him forward with enough force that it took his breath. His eyes had changed colour. He knew they did. Kanem had seen it. Waseber had seen it. Kuafa had seen it. Demin could still feel the strange darkness that had been beneath the skin of his forearm, crawling along his skin and fading away before he could do anything to stop it. If he had not felt it move, he would have believed it to be a trick of his mind.Demin sat down on the edge of his bed and looked down at his bare arm.Nothing was different about it. He
