The silver eyes between the trees did not move.Celine could barely breathe.Her mother's fingers tightened around hers."Don't look at him," she whispered.Celine's eyes remained fixed on the darkness."Who is he?"Her mother didn't answer.Damon stepped forward, placing himself between them and the trees."Everyone stay behind me."Beta Wolverine raised his weapon.The Silvermoon warriors formed a defensive line.For several seconds, nothing happened.Then the silver eyes disappeared.Celine's pendant stopped glowing.The forest became strangely quiet.Damon frowned."Where did he go?"Her mother shook her head."He doesn't need to come closer."Celine looked at her."What does that mean?""He knows where you are now."Celine's stomach twisted.Before she could ask another question, a howl sounded from far behind them.Then another.The Blackfang warriors were moving.Damon turned toward Wolverine."We have to leave."Wolverine nodded."Take the eastern trail.""No," Celine's mother

The howl beneath the sanctuary shook the stone beneath Celine's feet.She tightened her grip around Damon as he struggled to remain standing.Blood stained the side of his shirt, and his breathing was uneven, but his eyes remained fixed on the silver-eyed stranger.“You know him?” Celine asked.Damon didn't answer.“Damon.”The stranger stepped closer.“You should have stayed in exile, Blackwood.”Damon's jaw tightened.“And you should have stayed buried.”Celine looked between them.“What is happening?”Damon finally looked at her.“He's the reason I lost everything.”The stranger's expression remained calm.“You lost everything because you were too weak to protect it.”Damon's eyes flashed.“You murdered my pack.”“I destroyed a threat.”“You killed innocent people.”“I removed those who stood against the old blood.”Celine felt her stomach turn.“What old blood?”The stranger looked at her.“Your blood.”Damon immediately stepped between them.“Don't listen to him.”The stranger la

Celine stood completely still.The baby's cry echoed through the chamber.Once.Twice.Then silence.She stared at the ancient cradle in the center of the room, unable to understand what she was hearing.It was empty.Yet the cry had sounded real.Her mother stood behind her, trembling.Damon remained close to Celine, his attention moving between the walls and the open doorway.“What is this place?” Celine whispered.Her mother didn't answer.Celine turned.“Mom.”Her mother looked at the cradle.“This is where everything began.”“What began?”“Your life.”Celine's eyes narrowed.“I know I was born.”Her mother gave a sad smile.“You were born here.”Celine looked around.“This sanctuary?”Her mother nodded.“Not inside the room you're standing in. Beneath it.”She pointed toward the floor.“There used to be a chamber below this one.”Celine touched the wall.“And the cradle?”“It was prepared for you.”Damon looked at the inscription.“Who carved her name?”Her mother lowered her eye

The sound beneath the sanctuary came again.A deep, dragging growl.The stone floor trembled beneath Celine's feet.Every warrior in the chamber went still.Even the Blackfang leader had stopped smiling.Damon tightened his grip around his weapon.“What is down there?”Lucien's eyes remained fixed on the cracked floor.“Something that should have remained asleep.”Celine stared at him.“You said this sanctuary was built to protect the Moonborn.”“It was.”“Then why is there something underneath it?”Lucien didn't answer.Her mother did.“Because the Moonborn were never the only ones being protected.”Celine felt a chill run through her.“What does that mean?”Before her mother could explain, another tremor shook the sanctuary.Dust fell from the ceiling.Several Silvermoon warriors stumbled.One of the Moon Guard shouted, “Everyone away from the center!”Celine stepped backward.The stone floor cracked wider.Damon immediately moved in front of her.“Stay behind me.”Celine shook her

“At last... I have found you.”The voice echoed through the chamber.Celine couldn't move.It wasn't loud, yet it seemed to come from everywhere at once.From the walls.From the floor.From inside her own mind.Damon immediately stepped in front of her.“Stay behind me.”The black mark beneath Celine's feet widened.A thin crack raced across the stone floor, stopping only inches from Damon's boots.The guardian's roar thundered through the sanctuary above.Celine's mother grabbed her arm.“Celine, don't answer it.”Celine stared at the darkness beneath the crack.“Who is that?”Her mother shook her head.“I don't know.”Lucien's expression hardened.“You do.”Everyone looked at him.Celine's eyes narrowed.“You know who it is.”Lucien remained silent.Damon stepped toward him.“Tell us.”Lucien looked at the black mark.“I thought the seal would hold longer.”Celine's mother suddenly released Celine's arm.“Lucien.”He turned toward her.“You knew this would happen?”“I knew there wa
