Behind Luna, Aurora slowly stood. "May I say something?" Everyone looked at her. Aurora approached Helena on unsteady legs. "You keep speaking of wolves as if we've been waiting generations for someone to rescue us from humans." Helena's expression shifted. "You were bound."

“Because I am her.” Stunned silence followed. It was so quiet, I could hear the rustling of clothes as a few adjusted their positions. “The prophecy speaks of a she-wolf who will rise to unite humans, hybrids, and werewolves,” I continued. “Not through domination. Not through war. Through unity. Through shared purpose.

She built an empire of fear because she didn't know how to build anything else. I understand her. I don't forgive her. But I understand. One month. Then we fight. I hope I'm ready. I hope we all are.

“The real sheep were those women! They’re not humans. They are shape shifters!” “You mean sheep shifters,” Sasha bit back a snort as the adult black sheep stood in the front yard, looking innocent. The door creaked open, and one black sheep trotted to the door, bleating at the visitor who delivered a letter. The sheep gently took the letter in its teeth and butted the door with its head, closing it. Once the mailman was gone, the adult sheep quickly transformed into women who resumed their chores. It finally made sense why the shepherd needed high fences to prevent anyone from peeking into his secret. The unusual “feed” he purchased every morning was food for humans more than sheep. Now that

"We honor the Shroud you gave us. But the humans... they are taking the Marrow without the pain. They use the lights we power. They eat the grain we protect. Why should the wolf share his kill with the sheep?" The crowd of warriors murmured in agreement. The "Too Much" energy in the room began to spike, the lavender mist turning a bruised, violent purple. The old instinct—the need to be the Apex of the Ledger—was resurfacing. "Because the 'Sheep' are the ones who taught us how to be Human, Gunnar," I said, my voice carrying the weight of a hundred and ninety chapters.

You will watch. You will understand what you've tried to control. What you've tried to chain." She addressed the gathering of supernatural beings. Thousands of them now. More arriving every minute.

But when has submission ever earned respect? When has making yourself small ever kept you safe?"

“But… thanks for having my back today. You’re someone I can trust.” Something softened in Sophie’s chest. A friend. Finally. Quietly, she said, “I felt sick, Shiloh. Slaughtering women and children.
