"Speaking of which, I've always wondered," ancient Lord Cassian walked over. "I heard your Chief Hematologist is a human? Quite an unexpected choice." Before Bastian could answer, Ophelia's shrill voice cut in.

I hate early morning alarms! Especially the 5 O'clock ones I set for myself so I can wake up on time for school. They always ring every time I'm just getting very snuggly under my bedcovers and enjoying the second round of tranquil sleep. It doesn't help that I always read a book when I'm supposed to be in bed. Yeah, I'm a nerd and I know it. I bet you are too, ha ha.

He stood, his hollow, soulless eyes sweeping over the endless expanse, taking in the sight of his fallen forces, each bone a testament to his past dominion. His frail form looked fragile, as if a mere gust could scatter him like the dust at his feet, but he was no ordinary being. He was the dark lord himself, not a mere user of magic but its very essence, the embodiment of power that coursed through his withered frame. With a slow, deliberate motion, he bent down, his bony fingers trembling slightly as they scooped up a handful of dry, crumbling dust from the ground. He lifted his hand, his movements precise, and blew the dust into the air, his breath a faint, rasping sound. The breeze caugh

"The Great Vault of the First King. My sensors are flatlining, Elena. According to the instruments, there’s nothing in front of us but a hole in the universe." The transport banked, the floodlights cutting through the freezing mist to reveal the Threshold. It wasn't a door. It was a massive, circular archway carved from the living bone of a prehistoric titan, etched with runes that bled a faint, dying silver light. Beyond the arch, the ground simply ended. A bridge of solid starlight stretched across a chasm so deep that even my enhanced vision couldn't find the bottom. And there, at the center of the bridge, stood the Bone King.

Underneath their boots, the floorboards trembled. Just once. A heartbeat in the bones. And they all knew: the dreams were only the beginning. Something old had noticed them. And it had started to listen.

The family elders, too, were put off by her harsh words and quickly filled me in with their overlapping explanations. That's when I found out that Rosa was blowing through the company's cash over the past ten days. Then, we could not cover the billion-dollar penalty for bailing on the arms deal with the Romano family, and our business partners were bailing left and right, demanding payback. Sebastian was already up to his neck in trouble. If they could not settle those debts, the other families would close in on them. So, it was a big deal after all. No wonder he was freaking out.

His tone dripped with arrogance as he said, "Chloe, you're an outsider. Don't think too highly of yourself. The council has always decided how supplies are distributed." I looked up at him, my gaze icy. "Eddie, pack supplies belong to all members. They are not the elders' private property. According to pack law, anyone caught stealing communal resources loses three months of privilege. Repeat offenders are exiled to the borders." He hadn't expected me to defy him, and his expression darkened instantly. "How dare you threaten me!" "I'm only following the rules," I replied, tossing the ledger in front of him. "Here are 20 snow leopard pelts, 15 vials of Moonlight Elixir, and ten pounds of wolf

With his voice lowered, he said, "If you have something to say, say it directly. Beating around the bush isn't your style." Daniel replied, "What I mean is, Kristen is already dead. So, whose bone marrow are you planning to use to save your sweetheart this time?"

Dawn growled, her golden form alert, tail high, the red light glinting in her eyes, the bone shards crunching, the air crackling, Tess’s loyalty a shield, the hollow’s heat a crucible. Vrynna’s staff slammed into the ground, the runes flaring, the curse’s hum rising to a deafening roar, the ground splitting beneath the altar, red light erupting, bone golems rising from the cracks, their forms jagged, eyes glowing red, the heat spiking, the stalactites shattering, crimson liquid raining down, the hollow trembling violently, the battle for the pack’s legacy erupting in a storm of fire and shadow, the crescent moon’s light a distant hope above.
