The other rogues howled. "What are they doing, Rylan?" Maya cried, tears streaming down her face. Her distress distracted me as I tried to focus on the rogues. How in the Moon Goddess's name will Shadow Brook Wolves accept her? She was already falling apart at the sight of a gun. "Get them!" the leader barked. "Rylan!" Maya screamed. "Enough!" I snapped, allowing Ryker to take control. The rogues froze, their leader struggling as his hand hung midair.

“I understand. And what other powers are there?” “Well, there are the healers, the empaths, the psychics, the ones that make people hallucinate, and the shields. Those are really rare.” I frown and say, “What do shields do? and why are they rare?” “They are rare because the gift is rare. Those who possess it can protect anyone and prevent them from attacking them with magic. In the guard, of 250 members, only 2 are shields.” We are at the climax of our conversation when I feel someone next to me say, “I see your point, Parker. Now, can you leave me alone with Alice?”

She let the memory of the circle flood her—not just the fear, but the laughter after long training days, the bonds forged in fire and forgiveness, the warmth of hands clasped in unity. She forced herself upright, her voice low at first, then gaining strength. “You’re right—I have failed. I’ve lost before. But I have also loved. I have chosen to hope again, every single time. That’s what you cannot touch. My scars are mine. My hope is mine. And I do not stand alone.” The Shield Holds She reached for Xander’s hand, for her daughter’s, for Mira’s trembling fingers and Rowan’s steady grip. The unity magic surged—blue-gold light flaring outward in a dome.

Please leave my daughter alone. I lean in and whisper “you never should have stolen from me, it’s such a shame.” I stand up straight and turn to my right hand man, “he didn’t tell me the pin on time and delayed my new club opening. Guess that means we still do what we please with his daughter.” “No please! Please! Spare her! Ple— “ I stab him straight in the heart and twist it, watching him lose his life.

“He told me that. He admitted I reminded him of you at first.” “And you believed him when he said that changed?” “Yes.” “Why?” Kai’s voice was quiet. “Because I wanted to.” The man’s expression softened slightly. “I’m not the villain here, Kai. I’m trying to save you from making my mistake.” “What mistake?” “Trusting him. Believing he’ll protect you.” The man crouched in front of Kai’s chair. Eye level. “He won’t. When it matters most, he’ll choose himself. His guilt. His need to be the hero. And you’ll be the one who pays.”

A sharp gasp of pain left my throat as blood trickled down my collarbone. “Stop!” Raguel snapped as his pride crumbled. With the visible agony of a mighty man forced to surrender, he dropped to his knees with a heavy thud before Heath. “Look how the mighty have fallen,” Heath laughed hysterically, stepping into Raguel’s space and looking down at his bowed head. “The legendary Lycan King, cowering on the floor like a poor human because of a woman.” Heath reached into his pockets, pulling out a power shield. He threw it onto the floor before Raguel’s knees.

It wrapped around me like a shield. "He told you his name," Richard said. His voice didn't sound human. It was a low-frequency vibration that rattled the glass water pitchers on the Council table. "Get your hand off him, Richard!" Silas yelled. He was sweating now. "You are one Alpha against twenty. You cannot shield him forever." "I'm not shielding him," Richard said. He looked at me. He nodded. I realized what he was doing. He wasn't just protecting me. He was opening the door. He was giving me his strength to use as a conduit.

She offers me a soft, profoundly protective smile,an expression that strikes a deep chord within me, mirroring the exact way my own sister used to look at me whenever I was broken. For the very first time since I was dragged back into this luxurious prison, I feel the icy armor around my heart begin to soften. I feel myself slowly, tentatively letting go of my defenses. The paranoia and deep-seated doubt are still very much alive inside me, but a fragile, microscopic spark of trust for the woman standing before me is finally beginning to break through the surface. "I am right here by your side. Think of me as your Ate Yolly from now on. I am going to help you, Miss Raegan."

“There are three who shield him. Three whose loyalty cannot be bought or threatened. Kaela, the blade who never misses. Sira, who speaks to the moon in light. Raelin, who guards him with war in her bones.” Malrick’s eyes lit with understanding. “You want to break the pack.” Verain nodded. “Divide the shield, and the thread unravels. Not by force. But by doubt.” A long silence followed. Then Malrick spoke again, his voice like flint. “Then begin.” ---

"I'm not whatever you think I am." "A shield," Lyra continued like I hadn't spoken, "is someone who can hide things. Protect things. Make them invisible to supernatural senses. They can block out sounds and scents and even supernatural tracking. They're like a blank spot in the world. A void that nothing can penetrate." My hands were shaking now, I pressed them flat against the diary to try to steady them. "That's not me," I said. "That can't be me." "You call things to yourself," Lyra said. She sounded certain.
