“Because if it is, it would be unwise to take my daughter there. She’s wanted by Ronan Bane, and I don’t want anything to happen to her.” Selene’s hand tightens on mine. “Nothing will happen to me, Mother. We know what we’re doing,” she says, angling slightly toward me. “Draven and I have a plan, and we’d appreciate it if you didn’t ask for details—just like I’m not asking about your new mate.” Maura stiffens, and I almost feel sorry for her. Almost. “This mate is just here to support,” the male behind her finally speaks. “My name is Silas. I’m the Alpha of the Silicon Pack, and your mother’s true mate.”

“So everyone is in agreement then? Riverside will merge with Riverstone, myself and Kara as Alpha and Luna. Varin will be my Beta still and Alaric you will become head of my warriors, Laris will be Gama of the pack still as I don’t have one. YOu’re people don’t have to relocate or leave their jobs, but warriors would be relocated to your territory to help with the protection of the pack.” Silas said as he looked over the final agreement. Alaric and Laris nodded slowly while they listened.

He tapped a crystal carafe on the table, and the sound echoed like a gavel in a courtroom at the end of time. "Sit, Elara," he repeated. "And Silas... do try to keep your 'Shadow-Artifacts' off the upholstery. We just had it rendered in 'High-Fidelity Silk'." Silas didn't sit. He moved like a panther made of ink, circling the perimeter of the floating platform. His obsidian blades were low, humming a discordant note that made the crystal on the table vibrate. "I don't sit for 'Producers'," Silas spat. "I only stand for the 'Director'."

He said and he let go of my hand. “What’s your name, miss?” He asked. “It’s a secret.” Why would he like to know my name? “Ah, your name is secret.” I heard him chuckle. “My name is not secret, it's Eunice.” I calmly said to him and I saw him smirk. “Hmm, I don’t think I need to introduce myself because you already know who I am, right?” I raised my eyebrows. “M-Maybe...?” “Wait, you don’t know me? I think I saw you in the cafeteria early...”

A pulse of light ran through the symbols closest to my body like ripples in water when a stone is dropped. “The stone reacts to body heat,” Silas said without looking up. Calm, casual, like explaining something expected. “It’s luminescent mineral. Common in formations this old. Nothing important.” Perfect lie. Delivered with the ease of someone who had practiced it for weeks. Alaric was twenty meters away, beside a column, speaking with Damián. I saw him turn his head when the runes lit up. Saw him hear Silas’s explanation. Saw his eyes narrow a fraction.

“Silas has declared war. He’ll bring Ridge forces—enforcers, loyalists, maybe rogue scouts. They’re not just after me,they’re coming for North Creek.” Silence fell, thick as night. He let that sink in before continuing. “We have three days. We gather now to plan, prepare, and stand together.” Garrick, lean and hawk‑eyed, rose from the far wall. “I’ll lead scouting parties. We rig pit traps, weave camo nets in the gully, hide spikes under earth and leaf. They’ll think twice or not at all.” “Perfect,” added Seline, voice steady and practiced. “I’ll brew herb‑smoke bombs overnight ferment briar seed with binding roots. Drop them at the edge of the ridge; it’ll suffocate their vision and give us

The silence in the Alpha Suite heavy, cold, and suffocating. "Ten thousand war-golems..." Silas muttered, standing up slowly as his dark timber aura flared in violent agitation. "Vane isn't trying to play politics at the Summit anymore. He knows he lost the legal battle in the arena. He's coming to wipe us off the map before the other foreign packs can ally with Aria."

After the Inferno Guild, the next announcement came from the capital's physician's office, Arcane Sanctum. They had sent various precious medicinal herbs, including a century-old rare herb and snow lily. Following Arcane Sanctum was the Tideborn Guild, which also sent rare treasures. Among them, Mystic Pearls were the most prized. They seemed determined to outdo the Inferno Guild, delivering three jars of Mystic Pearls, along with a variety of gemstones. Their offerings filled three entire boxes.
