Like a shift in balance that hadn’t yet revealed its source. Raymond walked beside her, his pace steady, his gaze sweeping the grounds without drawing attention to it. Selene joined them moments later, her expression sharper than usual, her posture already set for action. “I’ve spoken to the scouts,” she said without preamble. “Whatever they sensed didn’t cross fully into our land.” Amber glanced at her. “But it came close.” Selene nodded. “Too close.” Raymond didn’t slow his steps. “Direction?” “Northwest boundary,” Selene replied. “But it didn’t stay fixed.

You shall need to walk with darkness to find the light. The blood moon is ascending for you. Choose your path. And then, choose your kill.".

Then he cut the call. The silence that followed was sharp. Heavy. “What is it?” I asked, stepping closer now. Jayden looked at me, his expression set. “Bloodmoon pack,” he said. “They’ve sent men.” My jaw locked. “Where?” “The town carnival.” For a fraction of a second— everything stilled.

His smile sharpened, predatory. “Tell your Alpha,” Felix murmured, “the blood on the wind tonight… isn’t ordinary.” And with that, he melted back into the shadows, leaving

“You can’t fight the storm, boy. You can only drown in it.” Then his body convulsed — and before Kaelira could react, black fire erupted from his skin.
