He waited for me to fill him in. “His name is Cedar.” I looked at him. He looked so scared. “I can’t leave him.” I said. I wouldn’t leave him so scared. Miles nodded his head. He didn't fight with me about it. We made it back to the living room. He motioned for me to sit down. I took a seat on the plush couch and hoisted Cedar to sit beside me. “Master Cadogen says you will be staying with us until the annual Silver Gala. I need to know a few things about you to help the night go easier. First thing, do you have any formal education?” I swallowed hard.

A ball of water swirled in his palms. “I come in peace.” Water elemental. “Do you know Donna?” The man turned to Kaden. I nodded at Kaden and he took his leg off. “My name is Silver. I am Donna’s uncle.”

“You want this, Delilah sweetie? Both of us using you like the whore you are, tonight?” I swallowed hard, nodding slowly. “Yes… please.” Silver smirked, that devilish grin that had drawn me to him in the first place, under the dim lights of the club where he was known as “The Jackal.” “The party’s waiting, Delilah… you look like you’re so hungry to be fucked.” I nodded again, eager to have them all to myself. “Let’s not waste the night,” Silver said

Johnny taunted her. Silver groaned playfully. "Oh god, why am I always stuck with you?." "Aww I hate you too!." Johnny said placing a hand over his heart sarcastically. "How much longer before I kill this guy?." Silver asked me. "Once we get the file!." I said with my signature smirk. Truth be told, I did enjoy their company, Johnny was dead sarcastic and savage all the time with his bad boy attitude while Silver was witty and playful. They'd be a perfect match.

The wood was familiar, like a continuation of their shared story, and when he opened the box it gleamed—silver and delicate. Trixie’s breath caught. Inside lay a ring: a slender band of rose gold, engraved inside with the words “Luna, forever”. Centered in a pale moonstone that shifted colors in the light, it glowed like hope. He knelt. The wood of the floor was cool under his knees, rough grain pressing through his jeans. He lifted the ring gently and looked at her softer than she’d ever seen him, rawer and more certain.

The air shimmered with latent magic, words hanging like dew. Ari raised her staff, channeling a stabilizing ring of energy. “Listen to me,” she said, her voice steady though her heart pounded. “The world is rewriting itself because the pact we made the Silver Pact was never meant to last forever. It was a bridge between silence and renewal. Iluren has crossed that bridge, and now so must we.” A young adept stood. “And what are we crossing into?” Siran answered for her. “A conversation that has no end.”

He looked at Vhagar with a mix of confusion and pure, unadulterated panic. “Yeah, that is my condition, fight like a human without magic,” Vhagar said to him clearly enjoying the show. Viktor stood there, paralyzed by the realization that he was truly alone in his own skin. He looked down at his hands as if they were foreign objects, then back at Ashley, who was still moving toward him with a quiet, terrifying confidence. Without his magic, he looked older, smaller, and much more vulnerable. The warriors of the Silver Fang began to form a wide circle, their eyes fixed on the two figures in the center. There was no cheering, no shouting—only the heavy, expectant silence of people waiting for

Will he even listen to me right now? My phone buzzes. *Silver: You can come over now. Go easy on him, he looks exhausted.* I get up, weaving through the aisles to where Silver and TJ are on the other side of the library. Slowly, I walk over to meet them. TJ doesn’t notice me immediately; he’s pressing on a calculator, still. Silver clears her throat to get his attention. “Christ’s,” he curses irritably once he sees me. For a second, I think he’s going to bolt again, but he sits still. His face looks pale, almost guilty.

And I was done living like a secret. Done being protected into silence. If the world wanted to hunt the silver fox, it was going to learn something my mother’s bloodline had always known: Silver doesn’t break easily. And foxes? Foxes don’t stay caged.

“Jessica, listen to my explanation...” He fell silent for a few seconds, appearing to recall something. “Lately, I keep having dreams. I dream that the person who completed the marking ceremony with me was you. You were gentle and dutiful, staying in the northern barrens to serve the elders.” He paused, a trace of agony slipping into his voice. “But in those dreams, my eyes held only room for Lilith. I neglected you, I hurt you... I was such a bastard. There was also our son, Lucas. Yes, in the dream, we had a son named Lucas.”
