Dad barked. Mom gasped when she saw me, her hands flying to cover her mouth. "Oh Dante!" she cried, rushing to my side. I attempted to get up, but the pain was excruciating. For some reason, I was healing a lot slower than usual. Something was terribly wrong. Silver! Our mate's claws are infused with silver! Quinn howled. The realization sent a shiver down my spine. How was that possible?

The first attacker swings a blade as I slam into him, jaws snapping. A metal staff meets my teeth and sparks pain through my gums. Star metal. Of course. I wrench anyway and feel the joint give. He goes down hard. The second lunges and I meet him with my shoulder, then my claws, driving him into the leaf litter. The veil slips for a heartbeat when his head cracks against a stone, and I catch his real scent in that instant. Ironclaw. My stomach turns. Not fear. Recognition. They’re bold enough to wear their enemy’s badge in Silverwood, and bold enough to send their hunters onto Bloodmoon soil. What gives them all this bravado?

"Valkyrie Two and Three, deploy Silvermist protocol. Blanket the target area." The other two drones swooped low over the ocean, their wings angling with impossible grace. They released a fine, shimmering mist from their dispersal pods, a glittering cloud that descended upon the churning water. The "Silvermist" was one of Katherine's more elegant and brutal inventions: an aerosolized silver nitrate compound, molecularly bound to a clinging agent. Harmless to humans, but agonizingly, flesh-meltingly corrosive to most supernatural creatures, especially werewolves and the magically summoned beasts they controlled.

It wasn’t macho; it was math. Silver came later, in a windowless room with a table and a locked case, not as a thrill but as a lecture with props. With a gloved hand, Todd laid a handful of objects on a cloth—cutlery, jewelry, a small bar that looked like nothing—and told me the truth: how silver bites wolves, why it does, what it represents to them, and how it turns from defense to cruelty faster than you think if you wield it like a fantasy. He let me hold the bar with gloves, feel the wrong chill of it, then put it away. “Last resort,” he said. “The line that ruins a dinner table if you cross it for sport.” I nodded. I got it. Some power you respect by not touching.

They dumped a bucket of foul-smelling water over my head while laughing. "Look at yourself, Stella! You don't deserve to be in the Cantrell family! Rosie is the actual princess of the Cantrells! Go back to whatever backwater place you came from, you hillbilly! "Next time, we'll strip you naked and show everyone what trash you really are!" Nicole Sanchez shouted and kicked the door hard, making me flinch. I smirked, waiting until they left before emerging from the stall, looking like a complete mess. After that, I grabbed my phone from the windowsill, ended the recording, and sent the video to the principal and Mike.

Click. The flash illuminated the grotesque scene, capturing every detail—the twisted limbs, the unnatural angle of the body, the dark, spreading blood.

He breathes next to my ear. I can smell the hot metal from here. The next minute I feel it searing pain on my skin by my lower back. I wail from the pain and my breath is gone. I see white. He then throws silver powder on my wound to prevent it from closing and healing. I scream louder it burns like hell, he just laughs at me. If it ever heals there will be a scar.

"Seraphina Agni, save our clan and come back safe. We need you, before our clan disappears, please— save the phoenix from crying..."

The edges were as sharp as a knife that can cut through anything. I marveled at their elegance as examined them more. The claws curved gracefully, resembling the talons of some mystical creature from a fantastical realm. Their beauty was captivating, almost hypnotic, and it was impossible to tear my gaze away from them. The contrast between the silvery-blue claws and my own skin made them even more striking. It was as if I had acquired a piece of the night sky itself, crystallized into this exquisite form.

, Rose slightly pinched my cheeks. "Thank you", I said. We continued to chat. After a while, April and Rain joined us. "Wow, girls", Aston said coming towards us. Aston Silver, alpha of the Silver pack. The silver pack was a sister pack of Grey Lake. During my grandfather's time, our pack grew rapidly and the human town near our pack grew into our borders.
