RAIDEN’S POV

The night air was cold against my skin, but it did nothing to numb the storm inside me. I stood on the balcony of my room, hands gripping the railing so tightly my knuckles turned white. Below, the castle grounds stretched into darkness, torches flickering in the distance like dying stars. Everything looked so calm, so still—so different from the war raging in my mind.

My father’s words echoed inside my skull, relentless, unforgiving.

Find Seraphine. Kill her.

The same Seraphine who had always saved me. The same woman who had given up everything for my sake.

A bitter laugh escaped me, ragged and broken. He wanted me to kill her? To hunt her down like a traitor?

My chest ached, the weight of it all pressing down until I felt like I couldn’t breathe.

I reached for my phone, my fingers trembling as I dialed her number. The ringing stretched endlessly before the call went straight to voicemail. Again.

My throat tightened.

I redialed.

Straight to voicemail.

    SERAPHINE’S POVThe morning light filtered through the curtains, painting soft golden lines across the room. I blinked against the brightness, inhaling deeply as I stretched, the lingering remnants of sleep slipping away. Today was Eliana’s birthday. Her nineteenth birthday. And for the first time in her life, she was waking up with me under the same roof. A quiet, shaky breath left my lips as I sat up, my gaze falling to the nightstand where my phone lay, dark and silent. My fingers hovered over it, hesitating. I needed to talk to Raiden. But turning it on meant risk. What if Maddox called? What if he had already found out? I swallowed, my throat tight. I had no way of knowing whether Raiden had kept his word or if he had told his father everything—the truth about Lena, about me, about the life I had hidden away. If Maddox knew, if he even suspected, turning on my phone could mean disaster. I couldn’t afford to be reckless. With a quiet sigh, I pulled my hand away, pushing th

    LIANA’S POVThe night was suffocating, thick with shadows that stretched and curled like living things. My breath tore from my lungs as I ran, the sharp slap of my bare feet against the damp earth echoing through the endless forest. The air was cold, biting, but sweat clung to my skin. My heart pounded, a frantic drum against my ribs. Something was chasing me.I didn’t know what it was. I couldn’t see it, only feel its presence—a suffocating weight pressing against my back, its energy crackling through the trees, wrapping the very air around me. Every time I thought I gained distance, the sensation would surge closer, a breath against my neck, a whisper in my ear. “Please,” I sobbed, barely able to get the word out between my ragged gasps. “Leave me alone!”The only answer was the rustling of leaves, the snapping of twigs under an invisible force. I didn’t stop. I couldn’t stop.Branches clawed at my arms, tearing into my skin, but I barely registered the pain. The full moon above

    REED’S POVI woke up to the soft glow of dawn filtering through the curtains, the warmth of the sheets still wrapped around me. The air was cool, crisp, the kind that makes you want to stay in bed for just a little longer. And then, there she was. Eliana. She was still curled into my side, her body relaxed, her breathing deep and even. The golden rays of morning painted across her bare skin, highlighting the delicate slope of her shoulders, the soft curve of her lips. I had never seen anything more beautiful in my life. God, I was in deep.I watched her, unable to look away, my chest tightening at the mere sight of her. Last night had been… different. She had surprised me, moving with a confidence that hadn’t been there before, touching me in ways that made my head spin. It wasn’t just about pleasure—it was about her, about us. The way she looked at me, like I was the only thing that mattered, like she had chosen me as much as I had chosen her.And I had. I had chosen her. I trace

    SERAPHINE’S POVI barely felt my feet touch the ground as I ran up the stairs, my heart slamming against my ribs. The world around me blurred, sounds dulled by the sheer terror screaming through my veins.Not again. Please, not again. I burst through the door to Reed’s room, and the sight that greeted me made my breath catch in my throat. Liana lay still on the bed, her body unnaturally motionless, her face too pale. Her lips were parted slightly, her breath barely visible, like a wisp of smoke on a cold morning. But it was her eyes that sent a bolt of fear straight to my soul. They were closed, but not in sleep.Not in peace.Her body was cold. Ice-cold.I staggered forward, my hands trembling as I reached out, brushing her hair from her face. “Liana?” My voice cracked, and the sound of it was foreign to me—desperate, lost. “Baby, wake up.” No response. I shook her shoulder gently. “Eliana. It’s your birthday, sweetheart. Come on, open your eyes.” Nothing. A strangled sob tor

    RONAN’S POV The sun was high, a gloomy eye staring down at me through the now defrosted-coated window. I leaned against the ledge, my fingers tightening around the glass of untouched whisky in my hand. Outside, the trees swayed under the morning breath, whispering secrets that only the wind could understand. But I wasn’t listening. My mind was elsewhere. On someone so precious. Her. Eliana Blackwood, or better still Eliana Moonblood.She was a Moonblood after all even though she has not been introduced to the entire pack.I exhaled slowly, the weight of her name pressing against my ribs like a fist. Today was her nineteenth birthday. A significant day. A dangerous day. It’s going to be a full moon tonight and the full moon on her birthday screamed danger. I ran a hand through my hair, tension coiled in my muscles, making it impossible to stay still. I should have taken her last night in the woods. I should have been faster, stronger—should have gotten to her before he did. Reed

    REED’S POVShe wasn’t waking up. Eliana lay motionless on the bed, her chest rising and falling in shallow breaths, but she was gone. Somewhere I couldn’t reach her. My hands clenched into fists at my sides.Seraphine’s words wouldn’t leave my head.“If her gate is opened, they will come for her.”Maddox. Kade. Others I didn’t even know about, like the shadowed one from last night. Enemies who had been waiting for her powers to awaken, waiting for the chance to hunt her down. If we brought her back, if we unsealed whatever power had been locked away inside her—she wouldn’t be safe. And what if I couldn’t protect her? The thought sent ice through my veins. I wasn’t afraid of a fight, but this wasn’t a battle I could win with claws and fangs alone. This was something bigger. Something I barely understood.And if I failed? If she came back and I couldn’t keep her safe? I forced a breath through my nose, staring down at her pale face. She looked fragile like this. Vulnerable. It f

    KADE’S POVLila stood before me, fidgeting under my stare. She was trying to lie to me. Again.I leaned back in my chair, fingers steepled beneath my chin, watching her carefully. The office was quiet except for the rhythmic ticking of the clock on the far wall. Sunlight streamed through the tall windows, painting sharp streaks of gold across the dark wood floors. And yet, despite the warmth of the morning light, Lila shivered. She wasn’t cold. She was afraid, a habit that our child picked from her. “Tell me again,” I said smoothly, tilting my head. “How far have you gotten with the mission of getting me the Silver Blade?” She shifted on her feet, pressing her hands together like a nervous child caught stealing. “I—I haven’t gotten it yet,” she stammered. “The security at the vault was increased after my last attempt. It’s been difficult.” A lie. An obvious lie. She was trembling. The lie lived in the flicker of her lashes, in the slight hitch of her breath. I knew her too we

    MADDOX’S POVThe night had been long. Agonizing. Sleep had refused to claim me, leaving me trapped in the suffocating weight of revelation. Seraphine Gray is not Seraphine Gray. Kade’s words had rung in my head like a cursed mantra, each repetition hammering deeper into my skull. Aurora Blackwood. The name alone was a storm. I had heard the stories. Everyone had. In fact I had witnessed the disaster that befell then Blackwoods. The Blackwoods were more than legends—they were myths made flesh. An extinct bloodline, wiped from the face of the earth, their wolves unlike anything the world had ever seen. And yet, for nineteen years, the supposed last of their kind had been under my roof. In my pack. In my bed. I had been sleeping next to a phantom, a relic of a forgotten power. And I had never known. I sat behind my desk, fingers pressed together in a tight steeple, the wood groaning beneath my grip. The office was dark, the blinds drawn shut to keep out the rising sun. A single c

    CALLUM’S POV “Reed!” The moment he hit the floor, I knew something was wrong. Not wrong in the way a person stumbles or faints. Not wrong in the way that exhaustion finally takes over. Wrong in a way that sent ice straight through my chest. Because the moment Reed collapsed, the temperature in the room plummeted. Asher lunged first, dropping to his knees beside him, his hands already reaching, already grabbing—but the second his fingers brushed Reed’s skin, he flinched. I saw it. I saw the way he jerked, the way his breath hitched, the way his hands started to shake as he held Reed’s unmoving body. And then—he pulled back. “Cold,” Asher choked out, staring at his hands. “He’s—he’s so cold.” Something sharp and unnatural twisted in my gut. I took a step forward, my body moving on instinct, but the second I got close—I felt it. The air wasn’t just cold. It was wrong.It was the kind of cold that didn’t belong in the living world. The kind of cold that seeped beneath the sk

    REED’S POV The world tilted. I barely had time to steady myself before the ground swayed beneath me, the weight of exhaustion dragging me down like lead in my bones. My knees buckled.Shit.A firm grip caught my arm before I could hit the door. Then another.“Whoa, whoa, hold on,” Asher muttered, his voice sharp with concern. His grip tightened around my shoulder, anchoring me. Callum was at my other side, his hand clamped around my forearm, keeping me upright. “You good?” Callum asked, but his tone already told me he knew the answer. I wasn’t. Not even close. Cold seeped into my skin, a slow, creeping chill that coiled in my chest and wrapped around my spine. My body felt wrong, like it wasn’t mine anymore—like something had shifted deep within me when I stepped into that other realm.I clenched my jaw and forced my weight onto my feet, willing my legs to stay steady. Asher murmured something under his breath to Callum. I caught fragments—“too pale,” “he’s freezing,” “somethin

    ELIANA’S POVSilver light. That was the first thing I saw. It pulsed behind my eyelids, soft at first, then blinding. It filled my veins, humming beneath my skin, crawling up my spine like liquid fire. My body felt weightless, floating between words, between existence and something… more.I sucked in a sharp breath and sat up. The air around me was thick—too thick—pressing down on my chest like an invisible force. The room was dim, shadows stretching long and distorted against stone walls. The bed beneath me was unfamiliar, the scent of aged wood and herbs clinging to the air. I blinked once. Twice. The world flickered. For a moment, I was nowhere. Everywhere. The walls shimmered, rippling like water. The bed, the room—all of it felt distant, unreal. Something wasn’t right.I lifted a hand, my fingers trembling. My skin glowed. A faint, silver luminescence bled from my veins, wrapping around my arms like smoke. My breath hitched. I turned my hands over, palms up, watching as t

    RONAN’S POVThe hall reeked of desperation. The huge curtains were drawn to cover the entire room in darkness. Thick candle smoke curled toward the rafters, mixing with the sweat and fear clinging to the walls. Shadows flickered along the rough stone, stretching over the gathered Elders like grasping hands. Their voices clashed—some loud, some hushed, but all of them whispering the same name. Eliana. The girl. The key. The one they feared, yet needed.I stepped into the hall, and the room fell into silence. Eyes turned to me, wary, expectant. I was no Alpha. But I was the closest thing they had. I walked forward, slow and deliberate, until I reached the long table at the center of the room. The Elders sat rigid in their chairs, their robes pooling around them like shadows. They had aged poorly—wrinkled faces lined with worry, eyes sunken from years of exile. This was not the Moonblood Pack I had grown up in. This was a broken assembly of ghosts, clinging to the past, fearing the
