Then Draven went rigid. I felt the change before I saw it. A faint silver-gold glow appeared beneath Anaiyah’s skin. It began near her ribs, then moved toward her heart. The light pulsed beneath the surface, too steady to be leftover energy from the battle. Anaiyah inhaled sharply. “Do you see that?” “Yes.” The glow concentrated directly over her heart. A thin line traced across her skin, followed by another intersecting mark. The lines formed an intricate symbol neither of us recognized.

ASHINA’S POV The clanging of footsteps shattered the suffocating deadlock. It began as a faint, almost imperceptible rumble, like a distant storm murmuring across the plains. Gradually, it intensified, becoming the steady, deliberate pounding of boots marching in harmony, vibrating through the soil and into our bones. I held my breath while Alpha Knight paused mid-motion, sword suspended in the air, his gaze snapping sharply towards the growing noise. Then, out of the shadows, they appeared. It was the warriors clad in deep midnight blue, their faces adorned with the sacred patterns of my bloodline. Their presence was like a surge of memory brought to life.

But if I’m to be honest, it isn’t Muna I’m looking forward to impressing this time. I am reaching for peaches when I see Ahana down the aisle, examining two tins of canned fruit, trying to make a selection. A smile curves my lips as I watch her read the labels of both tins, her brows furrowed in a focused frown. She is still dressed in the over-sized, navy blue pullover over jeans that she was wearing this morning, but even with the loose clothing masking her curves and her face devoid of any makeup, I am unable to take my eyes off her. As if sensing my gaze, she looks up and smiles when she sees me. My heart lurches as brown eyes twinkle at me, and I walk in her direction. “Fancy seeing you

The off-shoulder neckline bared her delicate collarbones, glowing under the lantern light. For the first time in a long while, Anana sat before her mirror and applied her makeup. A gentle touch of color to her cheeks, a shimmer to her lips, a soft kohl to define her eyes. She gathered her hair into a sleek low bun, weaving silver threads through the strands. A diamond pin, delicate yet commanding, gleamed at the nape of her neck. She gave a small spin, chuckled at her own reflection, and whispered, “Not bad at all.”

I'll see what I can do," she nods toward Alpha Blue. Suddently Beta Abir is next to me and staring at Ana like he wants to eat her up. He takes her hand and bows low over it, "Ana," he says, kissing it, his lips lingering. I notice goosebumps rise on her flesh and her cheeks blush mauve against her pale blue flesh. She snatches her hand away. "My name," she says, "is Anahita." She stalks off. Ana can be a real bitch when she wants to. But I'm not sure what exactly is happening between her and Abir. I may be mateless but that doesn't mean I can't recognize the scent of a potential mating. Abir of course is gone again as soon as she is.

I turn to see Acre, Sky, my mother and father and grandma Beth all standing around us, the latter three had burn marks around their necks from where the silver collars were, "Ocean, hold tight to Desert, only you can channel her powers, the rest hold hands" We all do as Lanna has instructed us and Lanna starts whispering words that sound like a chant as we stood watching the battle before us, the noise starts to dim, a light above the battle starts to decend and eventually we can see or hear anything, until a sweet voice hums a tune, calming us, then it whispers, "You have done so well, the bond of family is strong, remember to be as one",

She jokes and I sense her anxiety but decided not to let her know and just smile at her. “With the power and faith entrusted to me, I present you, Pandora.” Selene announces raising her hands to the night sky and everyone cheers. The dome that raised when the ritual began was coming down in little snowflakes of light. I was amazed at everything around me. It was like I had another way to see life.

She came towards me and extended her hand. "Hi, myself Noori the youngest and cutest girl here " she smiled. "I can guess that. I have heard about you from Anam. I am Ayan. her friend and colleague " wow Ayan you just friend-zoned yourself I blocked my inner voice, which was right. I shake hands with the little girl and returned the smile. she gave me a knowing smile and sat on the bed beside anam. Stroking her head, she looked a little upset about Anam.

At the first one I knock on, I’m greeted by a women. “Who are you?” She asks immediately. It’s occurs to me, that this is Alpha Noah’s assistant. I’ve seen her make appearances on televisions before, but she’s much prettier in person. She has the sleekest, longest brown hair I’ve seen in my life, and deep brown eyes so large and searching, it’s unnerving. “I’m here to deliver a message to Alpha Noah,” I tell her, trying not to be intimidated by the glistening jewellery around her neck and in her ears.

The humongous woman left with a sarcastic laugh together with her men. Ara felt her life coming down. But she's not going to stay still. She approached the most calm of all girls with her. She saw a yawning girl who's casually going to go back to sleep in her bed as if she's done this before. "Hey, can I ask you?" "Argh, same old shit," the girl probably a few years younger than Ara mumbled. "What the hell do you need?" Ara knelt beside the girl's bed. "My name is Ara. Where are we?"
