Elena POV The chains around my wrists rattled with every jolt of the carriage. Iron cuffs bit into my skin, leaving bruises that would probably never fade. They weren’t silver, but I was still trapped. Shackled. The wooden floor shook beneath me as the horses dragged us closer to Crescent Blood Kingdom, the home of the quadruplet alphas. The kings. My throat tightened. Everyone whispered about them in fear, as if even saying their names might summon them. Four brothers born under the Blood Moon. Four alphas sharing one throne. Together, they ruled the largest werewolf empire in existence.

**The Silent Treatment** Elder Thorne stood beneath the ethereal glow of the moonlight, his heart swelling with both reverence and awe as he faced the moon goddess, a divine figure of unmatched beauty and power. Her silvery robes flowed around her like a celestial waterfall, shimmering gently as the soft breeze rustled the leaves overhead. The moon's radiant light poured forth, illuminating the sacred glade where he had ventured, his spirit filled with hope and purpose, seeking the moon goddess's wisdom to guide Caden, the young alpha, in his quest for a suitable luna.

The perimeter lights ran in a chain along the north wall and bent around the west corner and the gap between them. At midnight the grounds were still. At twelve-eleven they weren't.

The baritone in his voice drops a notch below. “We’ll end him.” I'm about to ask what the plan will be in detail, when my mind drifts to the date of the next full moon. Only a few days away now, the date coincides with… the night of the School's Winter Formal. Shane balls both his hands into fists, inhaling, then stares up at the reddening sky. “Dreadborn will fall on the next full moon. I'll make damn certain of it.”

The sun was just beginning to set as Lukas and Emma strolled hand-in-hand along the peaceful riverbank, enjoying a quiet moment of tranquility in each other's company. They had been dating for several months now, and their relationship had blossomed into something special. Lukas, a shifter, and Emma, a human, had overcome the initial challenges of their different backgrounds and found solace in their love for each other. As they walked, Lukas couldn't help but steal glances at Emma, marveling at her beauty and the joy she brought into his life. He had never felt such a deep connection with anyone before, and he was determined to protect their relationship atall costs.

"Maybe it would be nice if you use white azaleas and baby's breath for the wedding." Ikaros' lips widened into a thin smile. "Good idea," he said. "I like the name of those flowers, azaleas and baby's breath." And if the mental warfare between Ikaros and me were likened to a chessboard, he had just taken down one of my pawns standing in front.

Together, they would rebuild, renew, and create a future that no one could ever take away from them. The moon overhead glowed brightly, its light illuminating the pack in its silver radiance. It was a reminder of their bond, a symbol of the strength of unity, of love, of power. And as the pack howled again, their voices mingling with the wind, Leora's chest swelled with pride. This was her family. This was her future. And she would fight for it. Always.
