I remain silent, taking advantage of Sebastian’s tactics, waiting patiently for her to continue speaking. I feel that this is just the beginning of something I don’t want to be a part of at any cost. “They are called eagles,” she announces. “They seek out everyone with rare DNA and bring them in.” She clenches her teeth for a moment. I see pain and fear in her eyes. “I don’t remember how old I was when they found me. As a matter of fact, I don’t remember anything that happened before I got to Eagles,” she admits in a trembling voice. “You have no idea what we h

She grinned, “Just like I promised on the day we parted.” I felt my skin stand up, “Oh God…” I whispered, “Y-you remember?” I couldn’t believe it. Was I jumping to conclusions? “How?” I noticed the light outside shift and my gaze transferred there. That’s when I understood what had happened. A big white elk stood on the terrace, it’s silver body patterns shining softly along with its silver beautiful and majestic horns. The Holy Elk was here. I gulped and looked back at Maya but I was so happy and flustered and confused I couldn’t think straight. Did this really happen?

“They only live along the northern border. That’s a full day’s ride, and even then, they hide deep in the mountain passes. Most hunters never find one.” “I know,” I said softly. “But we need it. The goddess said its blood holds ancient energy—pure and wild. It’s one of the few things strong enough to anchor the barrier.” He rubbed a hand over his face, muttering a curse. “Of course it is.” I reached for his arm. “We don’t have time to hesitate. Kael and Draken are moving faster than we think. If the elk is rare, that means we have to hurry even more.”

All the males shake their heads, and Rodric, our oldest packmate, rouses himself from a doze and shouts, “What did Alpha say?” “He wants to know if anyone has seen elk,” Max shouts back. “No need to holler,” Rodric grumbles, poking his finger in his ear to emphasize the point. It’s a joke that he’s been telling since I was a pup. He’s fully aware that he’s deaf as a doorknob. “I heard there’s elk up by the lake.” “Oh, you heard, eh?” Max snorts. “Which lake?” I ask. “A big bull,” Rodric confidently answers the question I didn’t ask. “Fourteen points between both antlers.”

She was dusted in frost, her long dark hair tied back in a messy braid, her sharp hazel eyes scanning the yard as she killed the engine. "Look at the haul!" Eli shouted, practically sliding down the ladder from the gate tower to inspect the game. Terra hopped down from the truck cab, pulling off her heavy leather hunting gloves. "The elk was trailing two miles south of the timber line. The herds are moving down into the basin." Her smile faded slightly as she noticed the quiet atmosphere hovering over the courtyard. Ronan and Dutch were already standing near the rear of the truck, their faces grim and respectful. "What happened?" Terra asked softly, looking between us.

The Shadow Wolf was barely ahead of Elara, confirming Kael's worst fear: the enemy was fast, driven, and closing in. The First Obstacle By late afternoon, the trails led Kael to a sheer cliff face overlooking the Black River gorge. This spot was known for being a dangerous crossing between the Pack territories and the wildlands. Elara's human scent stopped abruptly at the cliff edge. He noticed subtle signs of her climb: a few tiny, nearly invisible scrapes on the polished rock and a single, discarded knot of climbing rope, cut cleanly. She had chosen to ascend the cliff face, deliberately slowing her pursuers.

"What are you doing down here? I thought you were safe in the valley!" "Not really. Dexter’s men almost had me but Caleb saved me. I was really worried about you.” Kate said at once without breathing. Then she pointed a shaking finger toward the door where Fenrir had just vanished. Elara…What was that? That giant thing... It was a wolf. A massive, giant wolf with red claws. And it was holding you! I told you there were more of them in these woods, I knew I was right, but this is…this is insane!"

He swept a hand at the room and managed to include both lion and the rug. “Who am I to you,” I asked Elky, not looking away. “Wife? Weapon? Warranty? Tell me before the lion gets bored.” “Elky,” Andros crooned, like a bad angel with a sweet voice, “give the nice lady the truth. Tell her she’s negotiating collateral, not marriage vows.” Elky took the hit and didn’t bleed where anyone could see. “You’re the line I don’t cross,” he said quietly. “And the line that changes the map.” He swallowed. “I will burn the bloody routes. I will rot the docks. I will—”
