MINE BEFORE THE BLOOD MOON
The silver mark had spread beyond my wrist, glowing in intricate patterns up my arm.
Behind me, a luminous wolf made entirely of moonlight slowly emerged. She stood taller than any living wolf. Her silver eyes were ancient, wise, powerful. She looked at me. Then at Kael. Finally, she raised her head toward the moon and released a haunting howl that echoed across every mountain in the North. Far away, beneath the Fang, the First Wolf lifted his weary head. In the shadows, the Hollow King slowly rose from his throne. And for the first time in a thousand years, he looked afraid.
