He didn’t know how should he persuade her. Suddenly, he looked at the little girl’s face after hearing the sounds of her sobbing. With the light of fire, he could see tears were rolling down her eyes ceaselessly. “They said my father has betrayed our country. They said my father is a traitor” She continued sobbing. “They killed my mother, my unborn brother, they killed Xin er. They thought she was me because she was wearing my clothes” Yin Yue was crying her eyes out. “I do not want to live too”

Alpha Xander shakes their hands as he greets them before turning to introduce Luna Leslie and us girls, “This is my lovely mate Luna Leslie, our daughter Marci, Beta Marcus’s daughter, Callie, and Gamma Dave’s daughter, Celeste.” That was our cue to look into their eyes and shake their hands. When I glared into Alpha Callen’s eyes, I instantly felt a pit sink into my stomach. It wasn’t a good feeling either. My wolf, Bree, I knew from that was nervous. He was making her nervous.

At the Shadow pack's Moon Ceremony, the wolfsbane smoke mingled with a metallic stench in the air. The fumes burned my throat until I tasted blood. My wolf, Nina, thrashed inside me, her pale gray form straining so violently it felt ready to rip through my skin. By alliance law, I was supposed to stand beside Cyrus Miller as his appointed mate. Instead, two warriors held me down in the corner, their grips crushing my shoulders. Meanwhile, Cyrus stood rigid. His wolf, Blaze, unleashed an aura so heavy that my knees nearly gave out. Yet, that same aura became a shield for Sophia Grant, who leaned coyly into his arms.

I looked at Aaronsafe for now but darkness was hungry. Lucian touched the Bone King’s crown. "This ends now." The split flared brighterfissures in the realm called. From the gap appeared footsteps not human. A figure soaked in bone and midnight. The Bone King gasped as reality twisted. He fell to his knees. Whispered trembling: “My daughter…” "Papa..." came from the void as a voice. And there, like an image in glass and a horror come true, stood my real sister. She wasn't born of bones, but from a shrine, where flame and shadow met.

Hoooooo-oooool. It was a high, piercing howl. The sentry. Jax froze. His head snapped up, ears straining. Then, a second howl. Deeper. Closer. And then, the smell hit us. It drifted down the tunnel from the entrance—a thick, acrid stench. Not pine and earth. Smoke. Burning oil. And the unmistakable, copper tang of fresh blood. "They're here," Jax said. The lust vanished, replaced instantly by the cold clarity of war. He rolled off me, grabbing his sword in one fluid motion.

Thorin attended to every introduction like a visiting dignitary receiving a briefing on which his life depended, nodding gravely, repeating each name, asking Sir Fluff’s feelings on bugs now. Smoke, the firestone dragon, rode in her other fist the entire tour, already warm with her, already hers. *** The day caught up with my daughter all at once, the way it always did, like a candle pinched out. We found them in the playroom at dusk. The great toy introduction had collapsed sometime earlier into a sprawling game with rules known only to its architect, and its architect lay defeated in the middle of the rug, flat on her back in her wrinkled blue dress, daisy crown askew over one ear, Smoke c

“I know you got my letters. I know you didn’t read them.” I didn’t read them. I burned them. I watched the paper curl in my kitchen sink and felt absolutely nothing. I have been feeling nothing about Richard Hale since I was twelve years old, kneeling beside my mother’s bed, watching her die while he stood in the doorway and calculated how quickly he could bury his wife and get back to his pack. Richard Hale is the Alpha of Iron Ridge, Silver Moon’s blood enemy for three generations. And his only daughter grew up and got herself bonded to the enemy’s son.

“Now you’re almost grown, and almost grown means curious, which means dangerous.” I cross my arms. “I am grown!” I shout. She doesn’t hesitate. “There are bonehounds. Starving, half-dead things with skin stretched tight over broken skeletons. They smell blood and chase it for miles. There are whisperers, creatures that climb inside your head and convince you to walk off cliffs or drink poison. There’s a woman made of smoke who turns into a bird and pecks out eyes with her beak. A man with bark for skin who collects girls and grows them into his tree.”

POV DARLENE The air in the Blood Fortress didn't just smell of snow and stone anymore. It was thick with the scent of ozone and the heavy, metallic tang of molten iron. Following my father’s revelation about my mother’s lineage—the Sun-Walkers, the fire-bringers—the very blood in my veins seemed to boil with a new, directed purpose. I wasn't just a healer anymore. I was a weapon being honed by the mountain itself.

Lucas's jaw clenched. So she doesn’t even know, he thought. She has no idea what she is or what she’s becoming. Alina wasn’t just any girl. She was half-blooded. The daughter of a wolf and a human. A child born of a forbidden union a miracle and a threat. And she was awakening. That’s why she had been seeing him in her dreams. That’s why the nightmares had started. It wasn’t just coincidence. It was the bond. He felt it now stronger than ever, watching her disappear down the road with her mother, angry and confused. And he knew this was just the beginning
