The scent of ozone and metal fills the air as ancient magic awakens. Liora moves between us, supporting Dawn's head as she brings the chalice to her bloodless lips. "Drink, light-bearer," she murmurs, tipping the vessel carefully. "Receive what is freely given." Dawn's throat works reflexively as the first drops pass her lips. For a terrifying moment, nothing happens—then her body convulses, back arching off the table, as the dragon blood hits her system. Her eyes fly open, but she sees nothing, pupils blown wide with shock.

I slipped behind a broken section of wall, pressing myself flat against the stone. The footsteps passed. Two guards. Running. Running. That never happens. Guards don’t run. Not here. Not unless something is very wrong. I waited. Counted slowly in my head. Then I stepped out again. But this time… I didn’t go deeper. I turned back. Because something told me— Whatever was happening tonight… I wasn’t ready for it. Thorne POV The first wolf came from the left. Fast. Silent. Wrong move. I twisted just as it lunged, my claws tearing through its throat mid-air. Blood sprayed across my chest as its body crashed beside me.

--- In the morning, Alya woke alone. But the fire had already been lit. And there was tea on the table. Still hot. Lucien had left no note. But he always left warmth behind. --- Far away, deep beneath a ruined fortress, a voice stirred in the dark. “She’s awakening.” “Let her. She’s not ready.” “No… but she will be.” And the bloodlines began to gather. ~~~ The book was waiting for her when she woke. She hadn’t placed it there. Hadn’t even seen it before.

--- Far away, beyond the mountains, in lands still buried in frost and silence, a figure opened an ancient book inked with star-blood. The final page turned. A name glowed at its center: Aria Vale. Beneath it, one word: Balance. And next to it, something new flickered into being: Ruin. The page turned black. The wind howled.

“I want answers, Thorne, and this doesn’t look like something a wolf could give. No one must know of this until we’re sure.” Thornes bowed in respect, “Yes, Alpha. When do I leave?” Before Kael could give a reply, the door to his office flung open. A low growl rumbled in his throat, his eyes narrowing at the panting guard. “You barge into my office now?” “My apologies, Alpha, but there's an uproar.” “What?” “Why?” “Miss Avalyn, Alpha." The guards voice strained with terror, "She’s about to burn down the pack house.”

Varek’s roar echoed faintly in the forest behind them, but none of them looked back. Not yet. — By the time they reached the massive iron gates, the pack was already waiting. Draven wolves lined both sides of the courtyard, bowing their heads as their Alpha stepped out of the Rolls with the Book of Damned tucked under one arm. Violet and Marek followed close behind, both limping from the earlier fight but alive. Inside the estate’s war hall, Kael placed the book on a marble table. A freezing wave of magic rippled outward, dimming candles, rattling windows, making wolves in the corridors stiffen in instinctive fear.

Her parents would never take a chance with one of the cauldron born, even if it was her and she guessed that all of her siblings probably had armed escort. Without another thought about the escort she continued onto the throne room. She was just about to the doors of the library when she noticed a fluttering shadow and one of the alcoves, uncertain if her eyes were playing tricks on her she stopped and turned to stare into the alcove. She was sure she saw something moving in the back of it she turned to get Issy’s attention to see if she saw it as well, but before she could the shadow disappeared.

“The book is written in an ancient language that was impossible to read. When Lorcan showed me the book, I couldn’t figure it out. However, Lorcan could read that book because the language he saw was English. “It didn’t make sense to me, but to him, it did. Lorcan hid that book away, and none of us has thought about it in years. As soon as Lilly fell into a deep sleep, Luther and Lorcan began talking. Lorcan knew that he needed to get back to Dalgaard Mansion to retrieve that book. Lorcan is probably smarter than anyone I have ever known, and he knew just what to do.” Lorcan smirks, and I roll my eyes. All he got from what Leander just said was how smart his brother believes him to be. “When

I was loyal to my king and will forever remain loyal, now, my loyalty also extended to the Luna queen Ava. Although she hadn't been formally announced as the queen, I already saw her as one and would treat her accordingly. I ran my fingers along the spine of an ancient book on the shelf. Dust rose to the air slightly disturbing my nose making me sneeze. Rowan, Draven, Lyra and a couple of enforcers worked alongside me scanning the shelves for anything useful. “This place is a goldmine for knowledge. ” Lyra murmured, carefully removing a thick, leather-bound book from the shelf. She blew away dust from the cover to see it's title. “Guys!” She exclaimed making me rush over
