“They’re… wolves, aren’t they?” His gaze softened. “Yes. And so am I.” My lips parted slightly, but I couldn’t speak. He tilted his head, studying me like he could read thought of mine. Then two men appeared behind him. Marcus came in and smiled gently, and another man I hadn’t seen before. His hair was dark, his eyes kind. “This is Darius,” Aiden said, glancing between us. “And that’s Marcus, my Beta.” Darius gave a small, easy smile. “Welcome, Elara. I hope we’re not too frightening.”

It builds between us with each shared glance, each casual touch, each moment in each other's presence. And as I watch Dawn—our Dawn—contemplating us over the rim of her goblet, her heterochromatic eyes reflecting the firelight, I know with bone-deep certainty that our centuries of running from destiny have come to an end. The light witch has found her dragons, whether any of us are ready to admit it or not.

Glowing steady. And in that light— The images came alive. Luna stood at the entrance to the archive and looked at the walls. At the story inscribed in them. From floor to ceiling. Wrapping the entire chamber. A continuous narrative pressed into volcanic ash by hands that had not lived for three thousand years. Demon wolves. In their forms—both human and wolf. The Firegate as it had been. The mortal world as it had been. And in the center of the narrative— A thin place.

The archway loomed before them, the wind howling across the plateau, the Frostspire a defeated adversary, the sanctum a final battlefield. The pack stepped through the archway, the air shimmering with dark magic, the ground trembling beneath their feet, the wind howling behind them, the frost swirling around them, the sanctum’s interior a cavern of ice and bone, its walls glowing with blue light, the marrow god’s presence a suffocating weight, the chill a constant threat, the pack’s unity a warmth that would carry them through, the Lunar Legacy poised for its final, climactic chapter in the heart of the Frostspire.

Their hands, clasped around the artifact, glowed with an intense, ethereal light. A colossal blast of light, fueled by the twins' unity, shattered Archon's form. The monster's roar turned to a deafening scream as his body disintegrated. His infected minions crumbled to dust, their dark energy banished from the land. Archon's defeated roar echoed through the ruins, a haunting reminder of the horror that once was. The battlefield fell silent, the only sound the twins' heavy breathing. Tristan and Rosalind stood victorious. The Shadowstone's power faded, its task complete.

"Upon their visage, the countenance of the celestial orb, completed by the sacred sigil upon the union with their fated's mark." Thinking about the prophecy makes my skin crawl. Any time I think about ashes, I see my home, burnt to the ground. I hear howls of pain, remembering that they came from me as I held my baby brother's burnt body. Who needs screaming birds when I have already seen the hell that The Darkness hides.

I sat upright in a hurry that my vision swirled a bit. Livia has a worried look. “Are you alright?” “Yes, yes,” I nodded, patting Livia’s hand that had supported me from the shoulder as I sat. “You said your mother was the luna of the pack? Then your father must be -?” “Uh huh. Alpha Ruthor Daedrich - the last Shadow Rune leader.” My mouth hung open in astonishment. No wonder Tristan’s wolf was so massive! No doubt he would have inherited the alpha title if the tragedy against his pack did not happen…

THE sun was just beginning to rise on the east when Prince Archer, disguised as Theobald the son of a smith, and Aurora began their journey to find the fruit of bastion. They each have a burlap sack containing provisions. Both are carrying a sword, and Archer also has his bow and arrows with him. He was about to mount his horse when Aurora stopped him. “The trail is too narrow for a horse,” she explained. “We would have to walk to get to the Heart.”

“Seth…Seth has done terrible things, Lucas. Things that I never wanted you to be a part of.” “Like I don’t know, just look at this damned place.”, Lucas interrupted. “This is nothing, Lucas.”, Clovis shut him down. “Years ago, there were two packs. Seth used to be the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack.”, Lucas looked up, confused. “That’s right. Eloy Ahearn was the Alpha of the Moonlit pack, and the Alpha of Alphas. He was kind, and a good leader. I was proud to be his Gamma. Then one day, Seth and the Blood Moon pack attacked us. Seth was blinded with greed and had made a pact with the humans. The weapons these humans had were terrifying, Lucas. They killed or wounded almost everyone from the Bl
