But my gaze is fixed on Abby, laying motionless in the corner. “I’m here, Abby,” I think to myself. “I won’t let these fuckers hurt you.” Time seems to slow down as I prepare mentally for the impending fight. The scent of pine and snow fills the air, along with the metallic tang of adrenaline. My heart races, and my muscles tense, ready for battle. One of the men lunges at me, teeth bared, trying to bite my throat. I swiftly dodge to the side, narrowly avoiding his attack, and snap my jaws at his side, biting into his fur and flesh. He lets out a pained yelp.

After everything we had been through, I should have known better to think that we could avoid a fight. “I see your little wizard managed to make a spare.” The streaks of silver against his dark hair shined brightly in the moonlight, making you believe he held divine favor. It was his eyes that really gave him away. The darkness in them was like staring into an abyss you knew you would not be able to find your way out of. His hand flicked, shattering the crystal in Raya’s arms. It was as if the crystal exploded from the inside, causing the shards to lodge themselves inside of each of us. The pieces were many and small, making it hard to pick them out and heal. This was nothing to me, having h

Ryder’s thumb traced idle circles at her hip, a small, unconscious gesture that soothed the worst of her fear. Ryder pressed a kiss to the crown of her head, lingering there. “We have bought ourselves time, but Silver Fang won’t stay silent. Not after everything.” His gaze followed hers to the storm clouds. “Open war is coming.” She turned slightly in his arms to look at him. The faint scar at his temple… left from the temple fight, caught the fading light. “Are you ready?”

Ryan! Sending out an urgent link, I call all my warriors. They arrived quickly but many of them were not in a good condition, they were drunk after celebrating Simon’s wedding. Thankfully there were still a few who were due to come on shift so they were sober. “PREPARE FOR WAR!!” If Ryan thinks he can take my mate this way, I will show him what a true takeover is like! My warriors gather weapons quickly. Returning to their place in front of me as they await their next order.

" Cole shot Burke a disdainful glance before signaling his teammates to discuss their battle strategy. Soon, the hour passed. Cole’s team and Windsor’s team entered. As the countdown ended, the battle erupted with a roar. On Windsor’s side, two burly tank-like figures charged forward like moving armored vehicles, firing their rifles as they advanced. Windsor followed closely behind, a light purple energy forming a tailored suit of armor on her slender frame. She moved gracefully like a jungle nymph, enchanting with every movement. "We go!" Cole barked, charging forward with Burke and Rui.

At my side, Ruby breaks the neck on one enemy, and immediately engages the next one. ‘Xander, outside. We are outnumbered.’ I mindlink my mate. I feel him move, and concentrate on my next target. I plant my knife in his side, slicing his throat when he goes down, as someone growls behind us and shakes the ground. The guys ram into the enemies with a squad of warriors, finishing the rogues. We nod to each other, some of the warriors going with me and Ruby as she still insists on coming along. I hand her a knife, and I grins a wolfish grin I never knew my sweet twin could produce.

It releases me with a yelp. I stumble backward, clutching my bleeding arm. The rogues regroup, getting ready for another attack. I'm losing. I know I'm losing. My vision is starting to blur from pain and blood loss. My partial shift is slipping because I can't concentrate. The rogues sense weakness. They move in for the kill. I brace myself, claws out, ready to go down fighting. Then a blur of movement crashes into the largest rogue from the side. Ryder. He's fully shifted, a massive dark wolf with amber eyes. He's easily twice the size of the rogues.

The shift in the flow of Grey’s power, how it disappeared, and then reappearing but this time, the confident spirit oozed from his back—he felt it all. Ryder used his steel wristband to guard himself against Grey’s knife. The weapon clanged against his wristband made of lightsteel. With his free hand, he used it to stop Grey’s deadly punch packed with glowing energy. There was surprise in Grey’s expression but he was not giving in.

Determination painted her expression and even from my vantage, I could see her nails extend into claws. The Alpha of Red Stone ordered his soldiers to attack, but as his men lept in her direction, it was clear that they were no match for the dark-haired warrior. Roxy was so swift that she was like a shadow. She maneuvered around the soldiers and attacked them so deftly that they didn’t even have a chance to shield themselves. They fell prey to her attacks and died immediately when she ripped apart their necks in one easy motion.

I thought the right words had probably been waiting in me for longer than I had been willing to admit, and that the door to the war room was probably going to open before I finished deciding how to begin, and that Derek would look up from whatever he was doing and look at my face and know before I said a single word that something had changed. I thought, "This is the most frightening thing I have ever walked toward." I thought, "I am walking toward it anyway." What I did not know, what I had no way of knowing as I turned the corner toward the war room corridor, was that Derek would not be alone. Rhys would be in that room. And the letter Rhys was holding would change everything that had been
