The left side of her body was eliminated white from the moon and her hair looked like silver threads as they hung down her back. Creeping towards the door she shifts and a second later a see a silvery gold wolf dashing across the snow, her body low as she ran.

I retorted. "Hmph! You're just a coward. I am confident, strong, and brave, yet I'm bound by someone as weak, powerless, and foolish as you. It's truly unfair," she continued to criticize me.

Remember our bond! It's stronger than any darkness!" As the chains tightened, drawing the guardians closer to the abyss, Elysia's glow became almost blinding.

And she didn’t know how to hold it all together anymore. ... Rina walked through the gates of Moonlight Pack like a ghost. She had made up her mind. The decision was final. She was going to switch back. Rita was right, this life wasn’t hers. It never was. She had just borrowed it or rather stolen it. And now it was time to return it. In the days leading up to the full moon, Rina poured her whole heart into everything. She kissed Rafaele every chance she got.

She said, batting her eyelashes at my parents. “That’s very nice of you. Sure!” Mom said, looking at Dad, who nodded at the same time. “Oh, I’ll only come if Izobel will come,” Amber said, pouting and fluttering her eyelashes to me. I gawked at her. ‘Come on, Amber! Tomorrow’s full moon. It might be my time to shine! Hello? A little consideration, please!’ “Of course! Um... Izobel should come, too.” She said, hearing her sigh.

Eve’s POV I sat on the old wooden bench behind the infirmary, the one no one ever uses for reasons known to them. But maybe that’s why I chose it, no one will come looking for me here, nobody will get to see the way my hands won’t stop trembling . The moon hung low, swollen and bright it almost looked like he was accusing me. I put my knees tight to my chest instead at the moon, hoping she would offer me some kind of answer but in truth she never did all she did was watch like she was waitingfor me to understand something I didn’t even have the words for.

It was mine. Tonight, nothing felt predictable. The moon had risen huge and white, not soft but stark—like a coin hammered flat and nailed to the sky. Its light made edges cruelly clear. The moss didn’t blur into shadow; it glittered with frost. My breath came out in ghosts. The air was so sharp with pine and damp soil that I tasted it, resin and metal at the back of my tongue. Somewhere far away, water moved. Somewhere closer, something else did.

“She is unhinged. A threat to the Luna.” The warriors who stormed in were men I had led into battle, men who had toasted to my health at the last moon festival. Now, they didn't even look me in the eye. They seized my arms, dragging me out of the office and through the hall, past the stunned, whispering pack members who watched their Alpha’s mate being treated like a rabid cur. The dungeons of the Moonlight Howl smelled of damp earth and old blood. They threw me onto the cold stone floor, the silver chains tightening with every frantic breath I took.

My shadow-self’s eyes widened—surprised, furious, impressed. The Moon’s presence pressed down once more, heavy and final. ACCEPTED. It wasn’t a word. It was a verdict. In the real chamber, the runes on my wrist exploded with light. Heat ripped up my arm. I screamed, and the sound split across both worlds at once. The chains in the first cage jerked. My mother’s chains loosened—sudden, violent relief—like the cage had been forced to release its hostage.

Dark chains of shadow shot from the ground and wrapped around Kael’s arms and legs. Kael struggled, but the chains tightened. Luna’s eyes widened. “Kael!” The general stepped closer to her. “Now, Moonbearer…” He reached toward her. But before he could touch her— A massive burst of silver light exploded from Luna’s body.
