Just settled into himself, like he’d decided the exact amount of space he would occupy, and that was final. His eyes were silver. They moved across the room in a sweep that didn’t look like a sweep. They didn’t stop on me. I turned back to the front. The High Elder called the ceremony to order. The lights dropped except for the column of moonlight through the open ceiling—Blood Moon light, redder than ordinary and thick in a way that made the air feel different. Heavier.

The crowd made a soft sound. Th

—massive spikes of refined silver etched with the runes of the Whispering Woods. "The silver has to be pure, Rhea," Sela warned, over the clang of hammers. "If there’s even a speck of iron or slag, the Phase-Shift will shatter the bolt like glass. We’re using the last of our high-grade ore." "Use it all," Rhea said, her voice gravelly.

It is crafted from a shimmering, matte silver-titanium alloy, intricately etched with faint, glowing runes that hum with a low-frequency magical vibration. "The Legacy Lock," Leila announces, her voice dripping with sheer, absolute satisfaction. "Reinforced with ancient, localized silver to strategically dampen the Alpha's more... aggressive, unstoppable impulses. It’s entirely biometric, and as promised, the release mechanism is synced directly to a heavily encrypted app on my phone. It will absolutely not release unless I input the digital override.

The lab contained rare mountain herbs I'd only read about in ancient texts, their healing properties legendary among werewolf healers. "We'll need silver distillate to bind the antidote components," I explained, carefully measuring ingredients.

The few times Ophelia had gotten upset, something she really took her time to groom, she had done it down to the mud. "How did they find out?" she asked, threading a hand through her hair as she tapped her foot impatiently, her arms crossed. Rodriguez stood still, staring at her as he looked confused. He had no idea what happened, and she wasn't telling him straight up. "What the fuck happened?" he asked. "They found the silver! All of them—there is not a single one left."
