The only light comes from a single candle in the corner. And beside it, sitting cross‑legged, her hair streaked with red and black, her face older and tired but unmistakable, Delaney. Raven’s mother. She turns toward me slowly, eyes full of sorrow. “You should have listened to my warnings,” she says softly. “You should have stayed with Raven.” My throat tightens. “Delaney… where am I?” Delaney’s eyes stay fixed on the candle flame, her voice barely above a whisper. “You need to find a way out,” she says. “The Hallow will come soon. And when it does… it will take from you.”

Black light erupted from the spreading fractures overhead while ancient symbols across the chamber ignited violently. And then the truth flooded outward. The Heart had once attempted forced convergence itself. Long before the sanctuary existed. Long before the founders. It had created the original synchronization catastrophe trying to eliminate emotional suffering forever. The Forgotten One had not corrupted convergence. The Heart had created it. Silence crashed across the chamber. Even the converged wolves hesitated. Kael stared upward slowly. “You are telling me the giant emotional god-eye caused the original apocalypse?” The Heart’s voice trembled now. I sought peace.

"And that's not all. Every Ascendance Group member on our list has gone dark simultaneously. It's as if they received some kind of signal." "They're activating their contingency plan," Sonia realized, her expression growing distant again—the same look she'd worn when connecting to the building's systems. "Project Chrysalis." "What's Project Chrysalis?" Eliana asked. Sonia's eyes refocused with frightening intensity. "The rebirth.

Creating chaos they could emerge from as saviors."

I sighed. "The alpha of the enemy pack...and my sister..." I thought out loud. I had promised dad that I would protect mom, Astra, and the entire pack and do all I could for them. But Astra was now connected to Jay. I knew deep down that no matter what we do, Astra should not be going against the moon goddess herself. I still clearly remembered how terrifying it was to face the moon goddess. I did not want Astra to go through it. Astra and Jay were deeply interconnected, no matter how you looked at it and there didn't seem to be a way that could separate them and change the destiny that the moon goddess had given them.

We do not have time to indulge ourselves in our sexual needs. Tempted to give in, with want burning me from the inside out, but I can’t. I need to find it before all ends, before I can cause more despair in this world. I have already unleashed some of it into the world, for I am Apocalypse.

A violent storm suddenly swept through the western side of the city. At both the hospital and the Cartwright Group headquarters, the electrical systems began malfunctioning over and over again. The wiring was brand new, yet the power would short-circuit out of the blue. Entire buildings would fall into darkness before the electricity was restored minutes later.

"In the event of a catastrophe, the whole Sanctuary is set to collapse. It will make it much harder for the enemy to gather data."

She collapsed into her chair, her chest rising and falling in an unnatural rhythm as she looked around the room, and at the wolves who were now staring at her. King Tobias’s body filled with rage, and his soul felt as though it plunged into the depths of the icy lake of the Underworld as he realized what had just happened in his dining room. The gods and goddesses gave a prophecy, a warning, to the royal coven, a prophecy that seemed to threaten to unravel everything that he had worked for over the years.

A Kaiphyn. “Oh, this is bad…” They’re supposed to be extinct. The last time anyone saw one was years ago in the mountains. You can’t outrun them!
