I bound the shadow to the hybrid child, Ravenna, knowing she would one day wake it and become its vessel. I built the prison beneath the mountain to hold the king's enemies and feed them to the darkness. I killed Seraphine, my mate, when she tried to free the bloodline from my control.

A few of the wolves quickly move away, avoiding the silver. I watch as the alpha king go to attack Blake, while Blake's busy killing the wolves.
