It was old, its leather cover cracked and worn, with no title on the spine. Curious, I pulled it from the shelf and opened it, the pages brittle beneath my fingertips. As I turned the pages, I realized this wasn’t just any book. It was a journal—filled with the scrawled notes and observations of someone long gone. The handwriting was messy, the ink faded, but the words were clear enough to make out. The hidden chamber lies beneath the roots of the ancient oak, where the first Alpha of Silverwood made his vow. My breath caught in my throat. The ancient oak—that was the tree near the edge of our territory, the one that had stood for centuries, long before the pack was even founded. I’d always

“When she gave you the ability to hide your scent, where did you go to ask her for help?” The woman glanced at Oliver, who looked as equally as baffled as she was. “That old oak tree.” She pointed to a large majestic tree, that sat directly at the edge of the clearing, we walked over to it and noticed a pattern carved deeply into the bark… “it’s the lunar cycle.” “The Luna oak!” Oliver quickly dropped to his knees in front of the tree out of respect. “I’ve only ever seen pictures… It’s said that the original lycans planted it, in respect of the goddess herself.” It was the perfect place for me to attempt to make contact again.

Sure I'd been able to make enough to pay off the rent but I could still feel the strong fingers clutching my arm like a vice.

Was he among the crowd or had he been eaten by a specter on his way to seek adventure into the world? When the crowd arrived at the river, the sky began to laden slowly and the ambience became fell signifying a terrible battle. The sky had been clear and it was a wonder to see dark nimbus clouds gathered low. The men crossed over to the other side of the river where the Long-lasting tree stood elegantly. They stood in silence staring at the tree. It was very huge and green and its roots spread down to the waters. The ground appeared just as sacred as it had been many years ago and a fragrant smell seemed to stem out of the tree. They gazed at each other, each of them fearing to start the cut

_ Meanwhile, above the sea of trees surrounding the Village of Erana, Owl and Yvonne had been surveying around. The thing is, tonight's survey was much more... different. The two had always been the polar opposites of one another. But when it comes to their jobs, they were never complacent. With their brows furrowed, they both looked at each other as if telling themselves that something was very... very wrong. The atmosphere, the temperature, even the usual sounds of crickets were nowhere to be heard. "What the hell is going on?" "Something isn't right." The two's eyes then fixed upon the distance, when suddenly she found a man lying under a large oak tree with his red cloak.

Rowan said, pointing through the trees. Kael rested his hand on the hilt of his sword. "We stay together." Nobody argued. We followed the sound. The forest changed as we walked. The pines gave way to older trees. Their branches spread so wide that the sunlight barely reached the ground. The air smelled of wildflowers. Then... I saw it. An oak tree. Its trunk split into two before reaching the branches. The same tree from my mother's drawing. "The orchard," Elias whispered. No one moved.

It will rest where the Moon once made a vow to the land, where roots remember what wolves have forgotten, and where the oldest watcher still stands in silence. Seek the place where the ground bends but never breaks, where the leaves have heard more secrets than any wall, and where the moon's shadow lingers longest. The Stone waits. "The oak tree holds mysteries you could never think of." A familiar voice drifted back to me from reading. I turned and saw Kyren. It seemed he had been reading with me while I didn't notice. He left before I could respond. The Oak Tree? How do I find that? "Dumbskull." I heard Scribbit say, and I rolled my eyes. "I'll find it."

I let go. "Go." I opened my mouth as if to speak, but my mind worked in silence.. I couldn't think of anything that would be relevant to the situation I was in. So I went. The dead oak rose out of the mist like a drowned giant, hollow and black, its split trunk wide enough to hide a cart. A horse stood under it, a roan with a white blaze on its nose, and beside it, in a Ravenmark grey cloak with the hood pushed back, a lean, sandy haired man with a face like weathered leather.

“Hold on to me. Don’t let go, okay? Just like before. Do you remember?” She nodded and held on. The branch beneath my feet cracked as I shimmied back toward the trunk, lowering one foot down to the next. But the one I was going to put my foot on fell away before I could touch it, sending up a plume of sparks. Nora coughed and buried her face in my hair. I looked down, gauging where to put my feet. The base of the tree was burning properly now, bark peeling back from the heat, the roots going black. The branch split another inch under my feet. Nora’s hands tightened around my neck.

The accumulation of fifteen years of being together had made the arrangement more fully itself, not less. They stood under the oak. The June light came through the full canopy in the specific quality of the filtered summer light — green and warm and particular. The oak's trunk was wide — wider than Ernest could reach around, wider than two people could reach around together. The bark was rough, the texture of the old oak, the specific pattern of ridges and crevices that had formed over decades. The roots spread out from the base, some of them visible above the ground, the evidence of the tree's underground life.
