Novel & Cerita Sanctuary: A Hidden Pack

"But you do not own the sky. The human military task force... they didn't just launch one missile. Look at the secondary radar display on your terminal." Dominic’s gold-rimmed eyes snapped toward the shattered wall monitor, where a single, backup analogue radar screen was still operational. On the display, a cluster of twelve additional stealth-ordnance signatures had just entered the airspace directly above the South Pacific trench—and their trajectory wasn't aimed at the island fortress. They were targeted at the five largest werewolf pack capitals across the globe. Silas let out a dark, rattling laugh. "The moment my heartbeat stops, Dominic... the coordinates for every hidden sanctuary o

I ask, hoping she'll spill it in the moment of emotions. “If we were near Highway then we would all be dead by now. Sloane called this place a safe sanctuary because it's in the Pack. No one can think a group of rogues is hidden— She gasps, darting her wide eyes at me like she had committed a crime. “Oh, no…no” She panics, slapping a hand over her forehead. I stand up and grab her by the shoulders. “What Pack is this?” I ask sternly. “No… No!” She yells, pushing me away.

"You've got no right to talk about love. A hidden girlfriend? Nah, just my replacement." Anger surged within me. Before I could shoot back, her smile turned cruel. She shoved past me, knocking my shoulder hard. "Know your place." Her footsteps faded, leaving me clutching my chest. The pain was unbearable. Luke failed me, but Karma always came back around. Once I calmed down, I went home. Mike called. "Your fiancé got you an animal biology book with real specimens inside. Pretty cool, right? How are you going to thank me?"

“There’s something I need to show you.” Alice frowned as Mira pulled out a small, leather-bound book, its edges worn and stained. She handed it to Alice, her fingers brushing hers—warm, too warm. “My family’s kept this for years. It’s… history. About the packs.” Alice opened it, her hands shaky. The pages were old, filled with cramped writing and strange symbols—circles, crescents, claws. One word jumped out: Hybrid. Her stomach twisted as she read a line: Born of man and moon, the one who carries both bloods shall break or bind the packs.

The "Sanctuary" wasn't a church or a safe house. It was a brutalist fortress of black glass and reinforced steel, hidden deep in the hills far from the prying eyes of the New York elite. The SUV came to a skidding halt in the subterranean garage. Silas didn't wait for Marcus to open the door. He was out and hauling me with him before the engine had even died. His grip on my hand was possessive, his skin still humming with the silver energy we’d shared in the boardroom.

Sanctuary was the name of the game now, somewhere that rotten magic couldn’t touch. “There.” Lyra jerked her chin at what, honestly, looked like a plain old crack in the cliffs. “The door’s hidden, but it’s calling to me. Family business.” Marcus dragged himself along beside her, limping, still stitched together from the beating and the brawl with the cultists. She could feel his pain echoing in her bones, p (or curse?) of soulmates, but stubborn as ever, he wasn’t about to fold, not with her leading the way.

"We don't have much time. Marc's warriors are getting bolder in their 'assistance' with the border patrol." "Where are we going?" I asked, accepting the pack she handed me. "The mountain sanctuary," Uncle Mateo replied. "It's neutral territory, technically, but has been a haven for the Graystone line for generations. Marc won't dare follow openly without violating ancient compacts." Luna Mara approached, holding a small vial of swirling amber liquid. "This will help mask your scent completely for about twelve hours. Enough time to get you safely to the sanctuary." I took the vial, uncorking it with trepidation. The smell was acrid and unpleasant.

They were Silverbacks who hadn't been warriors, but healers and scholars. Marcus, listening from the front seat, chimed in. He said the Sanctuary wasn't a myth. He told them it was a convent like estate on the outskirts of the Blackwood Forest, about fifty miles east of the city. It had been officially listed as an asylum for "spiritually afflicted" pack members during the purges. He said everyone assumed the inhabitants had been executed decades ago.

“Only those with the purest intentions can enter.” As we passed through the archway, a sense of peace and safety washed over us. The sanctuary was a hidden valley, lush and vibrant, teeming with life. Ancient trees stood tall, their branches forming a protective canopy overhead. A crystal-clear stream wound its way through the valley, its waters sparkling in the sunlight. The werewolves, weary from their journey, settled into the sanctuary with a sense of relief. For the first time in a long while, they could let their guard down, knowing they were safe from Gabriel’s reach.

“But it won’t be easy. According to this text, the sanctuary is protected by powerful wards and only those deemed worthy can enter.” Marinetta felt a thrill of excitement. “Then we’ll have to prove ourselves worthy. Let’s gather a team and set out to find this sanctuary.” They assembled a small, trusted group, including Harley, Brian, and a few skilled warriors and scholars from the council. With Seraphina’s guidance, they set out on their journey, following the clues in the ancient text. Their quest took them through dense forests, across treacherous mountains, and into hidden valleys. Along the way, they faced numerous challenges—traps, puzzles, and guardians that tested their resolve and
