"Alpha Black?" "Yes," I said. "You see, Black is already pulling the driver lists. He wants to see every signature for the arriving barrels. He wants to look into the 'leakage' in the pack’s supply. And do you know what that means, Silas?" Silas swallowed hard. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down. "It means I'm dead." "It means you’ll be outed," I corrected. "And do you know what Rain will do?” “No,” he rasped.

He smiled, remarking how that day had replayed in his mind continuously for the past six years. As the witches commenced their chant in an unfamiliar tongue, a sudden wind began to displace items from the table, sending papers into a flurry. The candles, once lit, flickered to black. Krystal urged everyone to retreat, explaining that black candles signify malevolence and expressing her doubts about the ritual. Her mother reassured her, insisting that this needed to transpire for life to progress positively.

But is it really crazy if I get to unlock my wolf and become normal? Silence enveloped the four corners of the chamber until the Highest Priestess opened the black book and began intoning some foreign words that only she, and the other witches, could understand. It was a black spell meant to communicate with the moon and its spirit. The Highest Priestess kept chanting the same phrases, closing her eyes for a brief moment and opening them with her eyeballs rolling back.

More like the color. Black. Fuck!

Returning to the old woman's side, I placed the pot on the table before her, anticipation growing within me. She reached out and clasped my hands with a gentle, weathered touch. Her eyes, filled with wisdom and compassion, locked with mine. "Marco," she began, her voice resonating with ancient knowledge, "this clay pot holds the secrets of our ancestors, a legacy passed down through generations. It contains the key to unlocking your true potential and revealing the hidden truths that will aid the Pack in its struggle."

"I think so. The witch said the horse I first past is the one I forget last. You were the one who first caught my attention." "Well, we'll see. Each of us represents different needs. If you catch the wrong horse, we can't help you. Let me introduce you to my family and you'll have to make a decision based on what suits you. My brother Ishtar. His black coat symbolizes power, elegance, death, evil, and power." Indra's brain is spinning. Damn, that's exactly what I need,she thinks, forgetting that the horse is telepathic and can hear her thoughts.

It's working! Al sprinkled more healing water all over the surface of the black magic circle that locked Keefe's body. The purplish-black mist hissed more and more from the surface of the black magic circle. Al tried to sprinkle healing water on Keefe's body so that his body recovered a little. The pressure from the purplish-black mist rising from the black magic circle that almost broke was getting stronger.

Brenda trembled and asked, "What... what's the black room?" "The black room is a small, windowless room painted pitch black. You'll be locked in a dog crate with no water or food. Who knows what else might be inside—could be rats, spiders, or even venomous snakes..." "No! I don't want to! This is illegal! You can't..." Before Brenda could finish, Cliff kicked her in the chest. "I'm giving you one last chance. Speak, or you'll rot there. I promise, it'll be worse than any death you can imagine."

Black smoke poured out of his chest, thick and oily, coiling in the air above him. Mother Elara thrust the clay pot into the smoke. The green mixture inside started to glow, pulling the smoke toward it like a magnet. The smoke fought, twisting and writhing, but it couldn’t resist. Bit by bit, it was sucked into the pot. Kael’s screaming stopped. His body went limp. “Is he…” Kaden couldn’t finish the question. Mother Elara sealed the pot with a cork and set it aside. She placed a hand on Kael’s neck, feeling for a pulse.

"No more riddles. No more warnings. Why did he call me a miracle? What is the Spark? And why did you look like you wanted to kill him and... and eat me at the same time?" Zayden closed his eyes, a long, ragged sigh escaping his lips. He looked at her silver scar, then back at her face. "Because, Kaelira," he whispered, "you aren't just a girl who happened to be on that road. You’re the fated mate of the Blackmoor Alpha. And in our world, that’s either a crown... or a coffin."
