Rhys: "If I can't sell the pack, I'll delete the world that hosts them. The Hunt ends in one hour, Elara. Make it count." The city’s power grid began to hum a familiar, terrifying tune: the Sovereign-Whistle, now played by the entire world’s infrastructure.

It was a small whistle, intricately designed with a wolf's head on top. "Tiffany, look," Hailey whispered, pointing at the whistle. "Maybe that's what's causing the noise." Curiosity outweighing their fear, Tiffany carefully picked up the whistle. It felt cold and strangely powerful in her hands. She examined it closely, noticing an inscription on the side that read, "The Lycanthrope's Whistle." "What should we do with it?" Hailey asked, her voice filled with uncertainty. Tiffany hesitated for a moment, contemplating the consequences of their actions. However, a sense of adventure and the desire to uncover the mystery compelled her to make a decision.

My wolf clawed at me, desperate to join, and so I tipped back my head and howled. The sound ripped from my throat, raw and broken, carrying every piece of my soul with it. My howl was not just mourning; it was agony, fury, loss, and love all tangled into one. The pack’s voices swelled around mine, but still I felt alone, screaming into a void where Riven should have been. The council lit the torches at the base of the pyre. Flames caught quickly, orange and gold leaping into the night sky. The scent of burning wood mingled with flowers and herbs, a sacred smoke meant to carry his spirit to the Moon.

The tattoos sticking out of his neckline extended to his face as his eyes completely turned black. The werewolf slowly got up with a cut on it's face, blood dripping down as it lowered it's head in a painful whine. The man gave a low and long growl and the werewolf quickly dashed into the woods. Hilda couldn't take her eyes off the man with the white hair and weird face painting. “I know who you are!”

he added before walking away, disappearing into the crowd like he’d never been there at all. Ari’s legs felt like lead as she watched him go. Her chest ached with the weight of a desire she couldn’t name, couldn’t fight, and maybe didn’t want to. And then she heard it: a low, mournful howl that rolled over the city rooftops, echoing through the alleys and streets. It wasn’t human. It wasn’t animal. It was something in between. Ari’s blood ran cold. The city, the danger, the man she shouldn’t want—it was all connected. And she had a feeling she’d just stepped into a world where the rules didn’t apply.

Xavier*** The howl still echoed through the trees, not just a sound but a memory clawing its way through time. It wasn’t the cry of a beast—it was grief made sound, ancient and unforgiving. It reverberated through the trunks, rattling leaves like whispered names of the dead. It was deeper, older, as if the very bones of the earth were mourning something long lost and half-remembered.

Jagged cracks of violet light tore through the salt-flats, and from those cracks, they emerged. They weren't bright like the Moon Goddess’s light. They were shadows made of ash and memory. Thousands of them. The ghosts of every wolf the Council had "harvested" across four centuries. They didn't have faces, but they had teeth. They didn't have voices, but they had a rhythm. The Fourth Door was open. The Salt Sentinels recoiled, their obsidian eyes flickering with the first taste of true fear. Even the Widow, Sarka, took a step back, her red cloak fluttering like a wounded wing.

The howl that rose from the city that night was unlike anything heard before. Wolves from every pack, every lineage, every generation—they howled together, their grief echoing off the mountains, carrying Kael's spirit to the ancestors. The sound was primal, ancient, heartbreaking. It rose and fell like waves, each howl blending into the next, a chorus of loss that seemed to shake the very foundations of the earth. Vampires stood in silent respect, their ancient faces grave. Hybrids wept openly, clutching each other. Love seekers dimmed, their light flickering like candles in a storm. The entire city mourned.

the strange man asked. Next move? I tensed, straining to listen. “Soon,” Holly replied smugly. “Tonight I’ll let Sid take in enough of my scent to make sure I have absolute control over him. Then tomorrow I’ll have him hold a meeting and announce to all his members—Emerald Howl Pack officially belongs to Ironclaw Pack!” WHAT?! I could barely believe what I was hearing.

It shrieked—not a howl, but a static screech, like a broken radio tuning into pain. Vin shot two tranqs into the third’s neck, but it barely flinched. Riley’s eyes blazed silver. She shifted. Not fully, just enough to tap into her primal speed. She dropped to all fours for a second, dashing past the snarling hybrid to sweep its legs. It collapsed, twitching violently. They stood in silence as the last creature twitched on the ground, then lay still. Jaxon’s breath was ragged. “Lorne’s not just experimenting anymore. He’s manufacturing.”
