As they placed him in the car, they exchanged solemn glances with Liya and whizz, their unspoken support a testament to the bond they shared. Liya and whizz moved to the car, their steps heavy as they climbed in. The grief in the air was palpable, the reality of the situation sinking in with every passing moment. Whizz's hands gripped the edge of the seat as he took a deep, shuddering breath. Liya rested her head against the window, her tears staining the glass as she stared out into the distance. The car's engine roared to life, the sound a stark contrast to the somber atmosphere within. As the car pulled away from the scene, the soldiers who remained behind exchanged solemn nods, their hea

“I never wanted to leave this pack. I…I liked you. I wanted to stay here and be your friend.” There was a war, it seemed, one raging in both my head and body. I didn’t know which side was which, or who had won until it was too late. The walls around me melted, their fresh paint peeling and speckled with blood. A red plastic bucket sat in the corner against the far wall, rancid from human waste. I’d live with that bucket a thousand times over if it meant wiping away the blood and grime that coated my body like a second, third, and fourth skin.

I mean, they all looked like 'the walking dead! “State your business here,” the guard said, and I almost burst into laughter. “I want to see him,” saying this, I took a step forward, wanting to push the door open when my hand was blocked by that of the guards. “You cannot see him. He is busy,” the other guard chipped in, and I felt like smacking both their faces. “Let me see him,” I yelled and charged towards the door with the guards hands outstretched trying to restrain me. Things happened and in the blink of an eye, I pushed the door open and to say my breath seized would be an understatement.

"You think just because you have your men surrounding this building, you're going to walk out of this alive?" Something similar to an electric current, slithers down my back. I recognize it as a forewarning or foreshadowing, call it whatever you like, but that feeling of a dark omen slams back inside me. I stifle a whimper and watch as the gun in my hand wavers. Ash's men are too confident of him, and they won't do a damn thing to intercept this fight because he willed it, he gave them the order to step away.

A mountain ash when connected to a link will form a transparent barrier where only the insider could see the outside while anyone from the outside could barely see it even if they were in their werewolf forms.

They were the same shards from the champagne flute I had crouched down to pick up for Ingrid at the banquet that day. He had somehow found that trash and treasured it like a priceless heirloom. Wayne called out to me excitedly, "I picked them back up, Hillary! I got them back for you!" The glass shards had sliced his hands open until they were bloodied, but he still refused to let go. As he looked at me, his eyes were filled with utter despair and obsessive longing. "Take me with you! Or just kill me! Just don't leave me alone in this world!" he cried.

Every pack, every favor, every debt owed in the last ten years—consider it called in. Ashworth Memorial Hospital. One hour. Theron wants war? He just declared it on the wrong damn pack.

I closed my eyes, letting the heavy, rhythmic thump-thump of the earth's Deep Nodes lull my racing heart. We had survived the fire, and we had held back the tide. The Architect’s grid was complete. But as I sat shivering in the boat, I knew the truth about walls. They don't end wars. They just force the enemy to find a new way to break in.

Probably because I needed answers. She looked impossibly small in my bed as I stared down at her. I still couldn't get my mind past the fact that she was here. The ash barrier was designed to trap my demons inside during the red moon — to prevent them from leaving the castle and massacring half the pack and at the same time, no one from outside could step in.
