Amelia woke to chaosalarms blaring, wolves howling, the unmistakable sounds of battle erupting at the northern border. She was dressed and out the door before fully processing what was happening. Carlos was already in the main hall, barking orders, coordinating defense. He turned when she entered, relief and fear warring on his face.

I think that the Nightwalker might fall if Amoux and Damon managed it, and I felt pity for their pack members. “I don't want the Lycan to rush towards here in my pack. You both can leave us now!” I didn't wait for them to react so I immediately went out into the room that Amous was using. I went to my office, and I informed Almera to search for how we will save Alpha Brandon in that mansion. I saw the two big books on the table, and I took Richelle's book. I took a pin and then used it on my finger. When I saw my finger had small blood, I touched the book and its glow.

The scraping of his leather soles against the marble floor made a sharp squeak. "Sir? Are you all right?" Albus sounded deeply concerned, taking a step back as he saw his master's jaw clenched shut. A strange pain suddenly struck Ronan's temples. His head was assaulted by a brutal flash of memory when he first found Alice. She lay on the blood-soaked ground, her body covered in horrific cuts. A thick silver collar wrapped around her neck, burning her skin. And amidst her ragged breaths, Alice stared into Ronan's eyes, muttering hoarsely that she would kill herself... after she finished killing them all.

She cleared her throat before she spoke. “Listen, Warrior Witches has infiltrated our territory, okay? The bombing and explosions are just a stint to drive away the Warrior Witches so we could escape and evacuate. Lane and his team will arrive but I need you to calm down first, okay?” “They’re coming? Lane?” She nodded slowly. “Yes.” Relief invaded my system. Amara guided me to the cabin. I slumped my body on one of the beds. Even after drinking Amara’s blood, the energy it fueled my body only lasted for minutes. Now, I feel my body weakening and aching again.

I wonder if Shane is trying to collect pack members from other territories now. "I am Elenor Miner, future Luna to Colin Winter of the Seneca-Cayuga pack. This is Amber Monroe, the current female beta of the Knight Moon pack. We are just here to see our friend. We will be out by the end of the evening. You may have your Alpha call Alpha Lawrence and Alpha Brandon for confirmation." "No need Luna. Welcome to the Blue Crest pack. Enjoy your visit with your friend." We nod our thanks and they let us pass. I'm going to talk to Colin about our own border patrol and make sure that they are as good and trained as this packs.

She opens the book and a roach crawls out. I shriek, jerking my knees to my chest. Esme raises a brow. “You’re a wolf, and you’re scared of a roach?” “What’s a wolf without a wolf?” My smile is bittersweet. “Don’t do that,” she scolds. “You wolf will return. Now, when the rumours came, I consulted the books and some friends.” I try not to let my own thoughts scare me. “What did you find?” “You know, I’ve lived through almost seven decades, and I know a bloodline that had white hair. Moonblood.”

Ashley's pov I needed a moment–no two to fully process what my cousin sent to him, subconsciously taking in a shaky breath. She texted “Oops, my fingers slipped! These pictures were for someone else but I guess the cats are out of the bag now!” A cold chill ran down my spine as I scrolled through raunchy pictures of my Alpha husband and my sister. My phone slipped out of my hand, falling to the floor so suddenly that a cracked screen was left as a souvenir from the impact of the fall.

Those few seconds stretched out longer than any kind of torture could've. It was over. I was finished. Three years of planning—every careful move, every kill, my flawless escape. And now, it was all ruined… because I lost control for one freaking second. But Alex didn't call me out about Sharon Goodman right away. Instead, he pulled a clear evidence bag out from a drawer. My gaze locked on it instantly, a sick weight crashing into my stomach. Inside was a photo—a small, worn, colored photo. It showed a girl standing on a hillside covered in wildflowers. She wore a white cotton dress, her smile so bright and pure. It was as if the sunlight had chosen her.

“Adrian wouldn’t leave me. He wouldn’t—” Nina rolled her eyes. “Oh, please. You think one night matters? Once he heard you were cursed, everything changed.” She brushed imaginary dust off her sleeve. “I guess the Moon Goddess finally chose correctly.” My heart hammered painfully against my ribs. “You’re lying,” I said, but the denial felt weak, fragile, desperate. Nina scoffed loudly. “I don’t have time for pointless arguments. My Alpha awaits.” My Alpha. She said it proudly, like she had earned the title.

“How is it easy? I don't see it.” “You are blind.” “Maybe I am, but the question still stands, how?” “He didn't leave us for gold or riches; he left us for firm breasts.” “Are you sure?” “Yes.” “You saw that Postar girl?” “I have.” “She is something.” “True.” “We must have a reserve plan,” Hamil appeared from the group. “True,” said Nezamaikov, “any options, gents?” “We must prepare for the worse,” a gunner said.
