Sherbourn. Even when Makayla was gearing up to take Stacey down, she was already setting up her next play. Four Pines wasn’t just another forest—it was sacred ground. Endangered species. Fragile ecosystems. And a thorn in the side of any developer with dollar signs in their eyes. Stacey had learned nothing.

I need dates, properties, owners, and aliases.

Rhychard glanced back out at the trees behind his house, oaks and elders with a couple of towering pines thrown in. It was an oasis for him. He could walk into those woods, and the noise of life faded the deeper he went, the churning waters of the river calling him, soothing him.

"Rhychard, to open a Gateway to the Void takes blood, lots of blood."

But if I consume its soul before it draws breath, the curse will complete its cycle — and all the old bloodlines will end. Even the goddess won’t stop me then.

It was no longer pulsing red, but it looked broken, a monument to a family that had tried to be gods and ended up as orphans. ​The Cabin in the Pines: ​Three hours later, the rain had turned to a thick, mountain mist. The SUV groaned as it climbed the unpaved trail toward the highest peaks of the Silverwood valley. Here, the pines grew so thick they choked out the light of the city below.

Remember what the girl’s father did to the pack. Finding her will finally mean seeking revenge for our former Alpha.
