Her blood ran cold as she continued reading: “The end of the bloodline will be at the crossroads. One path is redemption; the other path is ruin. Only the one who carries the gift of the Onyx wolf shall be the words of this choice. “Either they will rise a hero or fall a tyrant.” The book felt heavy in her hands, the words blurring, while her mind was racing through. Each sentence almost whispered, calling her toward something she didn’t know if she was cut out for. She flipped a few pages and her hands shook with uncertainty.

“Let’s all boycott Lincoln Enterprise and stop buying their stuff. I’m sure they’ll go bankrupt soon. Maybe they should taste some hardship for once!” One voice rallied another until people started throwing things at me. They were playing on the crowd’s resentment of the rich. Regardless of the truth, most would take Vanessa’s side. I hated trouble, so old me would have paid to make it stop. Luckily, I had been through this chaos in my last life due to my father’s death and knew how to handle it. One phone call, and he arrived with bodyguards, parting the crowd to get to me. He held up a stack of papers. “Everyone, don’t be fooled by this old woman.

Wolves had centuries of blood and memory recorded here—wars waged and won, treaties brokered, betrayals etched into ink. For them, knowledge was power. For Bella, it was survival. Her fingers traced across the worn spine of a heavy volume. Silver letters shimmered faintly against cracked leather. The Wars of the Blood Moon. The words tasted foreign on her tongue as she whispered them aloud, but she savored the sound. The parchment inside was rough and thick, the script elegant but cramped, the edges of some pages worn by generations of claws. She carried the tome to a long oak table near the tall windows, where gray light spilled across the wood like a veil. Settling onto the bench, she open

The sounds of the bones crushing as the blade speared through to his heart filled him with satisfaction. Soon enough, the king was dead with wide eyes of shock.

Elena Moretti, the fragile civilian attachment, was dead, and Elena Luciano, the cold, calculating counterweight to two dynasties, was about to be born. I dismissed the Moretti doctor—a man who represented a complicity I could no longer tolerate—and made my way not toward the penthouse security of my old life, but toward the estate’s private armory. This cavernous space, a sanctuary of calibrated lethal force, was where Marco and Santino had taught me the family trade: how to survive. It was here, surrounded by racks of gleaming steel and heavy ammunition, that I had first learned what true power felt like—the weight of a cold Beretta in my hand, a skill my intellectual, civilian parents cou

I woke with a gasp. The room was dark. The fire in the hearth had burned down to embers. The window was black with the night. And the Book of Blood, which had been locked in the council hall, was open on my bedside table. I sat up slowly, my heart pounding. My hands were glowing faintly silver, just like Mirren's had when she first discovered her spirit-wolf. The light pulsed once, twice, then faded. The Book was open to the first page. The names of the bloodlines glowed faintly in the darkness, and I could feel them. All of them. The families who had been waiting. The survivors. The lost.

Blood dripped through the man's hands, which held the book's spine, slick with his own blood. “Tell me it was worth it,” whispered this man. “There was never a version of this where it wasn’t,” Lucifer whispered.

Not with a vibration of power or a flash of illumination. Just a presence, an absence that filled the space. The man caught in Lucifer’s grip shook as blood dripped from his fingers, seeping into the pages before disappearing as if devoured.

Instinctively, my hand rested on the hilt of my sword as I stepped beside him. He picked up the first book on the stack: The Compendium of the First Blood. It was a book so old its pages were made of cured vellum that should have lasted ten thousand years. I watched as he opened it and gasped. Cold rushed through my veins—the book was mutilated. "This is the chapter about the ancient evils," Orion commented as he flipped the pages. It seemed like something, or someone, had reached into the book and torn off the pages with claws. I suppressed the anger bubbling to the surface at such damage done to something so historical.

“You’re impossible. Do you know that? You would rather damn your soul and live an eternity of being tortured than accept the fact that you were wrong.” “The people you kill don’t deserve it like you believe they do. They’re human. They may sell their soul to the devil, but that’s their choice. What you do is take it when they can’t pay their debts.” A growl escaped my lips as I looked at her. “You have no idea why I do what I do. Those people I have killed deserve more than they get. They signed their lives away the moment they pulled a trigger or set a trap. Do you know how Grandpa Bloodstone actually died?” My anger now boiling over and spilling out like lava.
