“It means the ancient enemy stirs because it senses what has awakened. It means war comes whether we wish it or not.” My mother’s lips curved into a victorious smile, like she’d just won some kind of lottery. She turned those blind white eyes toward me, and somehow I knew she was seeing more than I was. “He who carries lycan blood shall lead when darkness falls.” She started reciting something that sounded like it had been written in a language that was old when Latin was new. “When moon bleeds silver, the wolf born twice shall rise… and war will follow in his shadow.”

The headline painted me as the center of it all. I didn’t realize I was shaking until I tried to grab my mouse. “They know,” I whispered. "Someone wants war" Dean exhaled through his nose. He didn’t curse. He didn’t explode. But his voice turned to ice cold "if its war they want its war they're going to get" If we do go for war I just hope I end up on the winning side

“War is inevitable.” The declaration settled over them like an inescapable truth. “And I will have my revenge.” Another wave of pressure surged forward. Some Elders gritted their teeth, fighting to keep their footing. Others bowed instinctively, heads lowering. I watched them struggle. “For what they did that day…” I exhaled, voice dropping into something almost intimate. “…I will drown them in their own fucking blood.” “Lord!” they cry in unison. A growl rumbled from deep within my chest, a slow, guttural sound that sent vibrations through my ribs. The air felt thick, suffocating. My wolf stirred beneath my skin, its presence coiling around my mind like smoke, intoxicating and inescapable.

Wet and bleeding on the inside. Memories swarmed me like vultures. I remembered the way Lucian's gaze didn't waver as I collapsed and how Maya's lips curled into the faintest shadow of a smile. The sound of my last breath still rang in my ears, not as silence, but as a tearing, final release, and now, I was back, alive, trapped in her skin. My hands clenched into fists under the water. "This isn't mercy," I whispered to the empty room. "This is war."

Then their daughter, Ruby Grayson, suffers a sudden heart attack. While the doctors try and fail to save her, Claire is off taking care of h

Vincent's wound wasn't critical. By the next day, he was awake. "Thanks for saving me." Despite everything, seeing him hurt because of me left a strange weight in my chest. "This is what I owe you," he murmured. "I've thought it through. I won't bother you anymore." I froze. He let out a bitter laugh. "Losing just a little blood made me cold, dizzy... I thought I was gonna die. Only then did I get it—what I put you through. I stole your blood. I deserve to die..."

Then someone from the crowd shouted; "Send us! Let's us die a brave death!" "Oh you gotta be kidding me" Mercury uttered. Then another voice from the crowd shouted; "I feel useless staying here while the war ensues." So many affirmation came from the crowd as ninety percent of the people shouted in support. "I am so proud of you. Now go and get ready!" We all left to dress up and get equipped. The bulls also joined us. "Oh my God, this is not happening." Mercury said as she was visibly shaking. I went to her and took her hands in mine.

Her words dripped with venom. "Let this be a lesson to you all," Meredith continued, her gaze sweeping over the gathered wolves with a look of pure, unadulterated loathing. "The path we walk is not an easy one, nor is it without its sacrifices. But it is sacred. Ordained by forces greater than any of us can comprehend." Then she turned her piercing stare on Serena. Her eyes bored into the younger woman with an intensity that seemed to strip away every last vestige of her defenses and false bravado.

The only sound was the dull tick of the clock on the wall. Then I looked up at her. “I don’t want to be the villain in this story,” I said. Her eyes softened. “You’re not.” I gave a short, humorless laugh. “Maybe not yet.” And then I said the words that had been building in my chest since I walked out of that penthouse. “But if they want war…” I breathed, gaze hardening. “…then war is what they’ll get.” ---
