"I am awakening what has been suppressed," the woman replied, her voice now deeper and more commanding than before. "Preparing you for what is to come. For the choice you must make."

But I couldn’t stop. Not now. Not when every fiber ofthought, every beat of my heart, every bit of strength I possessed was focused on this sole goal --- saving him. ”Axel.”

Yet, as she finished speaking, wiping the tear from her cheek with the back of her hand, something extraordinary happened. The hollow devastation in her eyes didn't linger. It burned away, replaced by that same lethal, blinding light I had seen in the dining room. The fire in her heart, forged in the ashes of her family's betrayal, blazed right back to life. She reached down, unzipped her handbag, and pulled out the thick, leather-bound folder she had retrieved from the hidden safe. She laid it on the coffee table between us, tapping her index finger against the aged leather.

Axel said as he began running small circles on my back to help calm me down. Well here goes nothing I thought, I told them all about the abuse I encountered at the Blazing moon back, how ai had lost my parents and being raised in the pack house by Luna Athena and Alpha Wade. How I was abused constantly by Cain and his girlfriend Sarah, not having a wolf and then I got to the hardest part. Everyone was dead silent listening to me but I could feel the anger rolling off of my mates and the sadness written all over Beta Lex and Ivy’s face. “Cain, well he… tried to rape me and when I turned 18 almost a week ago, I found out that Cain was my mate as I was actively running away.”

Then immediately opened it again. Because now I needed to know what happened next. And more importantly— What the hell went wrong? I turned the page. Katherine’s Manuscript — Chapter 4

I crawl onto the bed, pull the quilt to my chin, and open the book. The pages are thick, cream-colored, smelling faintly of iron and old smoke. No preface. No warnings. Just script that flows like liquid shadow, easy to read even in the dim light. The first chapter is titled simply: *Awakening the Veil*. I trace the words with a trembling finger. Diagrams of circles and sigils stare back at me—some I recognize from Father’s public rituals, others twisted, darker, hungry. Instructions for calling shades. For binding spirits. For raising what should stay buried.

The kind of ache that was both wound and balm. The sound drifted through the streets, slipping into cracks and windows, settling in hearts that had long forgotten rhythm. --- The Awakening The first to stir were the children. They woke from dreams they couldn’t remember, tears on their cheeks, Hearts beating faster.

Tomorrow I'd figure out how to control the power that could kill everyone I loved. But today? Today I'd sleep. And dream of a future where none of us had to fight anymore. *** I woke to screaming. Not in my room. Outside. Distant but growing closer. My eyes flew open. Smoke. I could smell smoke. I sat up too fast and my head spun. More screaming. Howls of pain and fury. Oh goddess.
