In the days that followed, the newly expanded pack settled into a routine, with the freed wolves seamlessly integrating themselves into the daily life of the compound. Vivi watched with a sense of pride as they found their footing, their initial wariness slowly giving way to a growing sense of belonging.

Ava, in particular, had become a constant presence at Vivi's side, her calm demeanor and keen insights proving invaluable as they navigated the challenges of their newfound alliance. Vivi found herself drawn to the other woman, her curiosity piqued by the subtle power that seemed to emanate from her.

As they walked the perimeter of the compound together, Ava turned to Vivi, her green eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief. "So, Vivi, tell me – what do you know of the Starfire?"

Vivi felt a jolt of surprise at the unexpected question, her steps faltering momentarily. "The Starfire?" she echoed, her brow furrowing. "Well, I know it's a powerful force, one that's connected to me in a way

    Later, as they retreated to the privacy of their cabin, Vivi broached the subject with her mates, her voice laced with concern."Did you notice the way Ava was looking at Xander tonight?" she asked, her brow furrowed.Kane and Dax exchanged a glance, their expressions guarded."We noticed," Kane replied, his dark eyes somber. "It wasn't just Xander, either. There were moments when she seemed... fixated on all of us."Dax nodded, his storm-blue eyes narrowed. "It's almost like she's sizing us up, trying to figure out our weaknesses."Xander's jaw tightened, his ice-blue gaze hardening. "Whatever her game is, we can't let our guard down. We need to be prepared for anything."As they huddled together, the bond between them thrumming with a mixture of wariness and determination, Vivi couldn't shake the feeling that they were teetering on the edge of something momentous, a shift in the delicate balance of power that had existed within their pack.Ava's true motivations remained shrouded in

    Ava paced the dimly lit chamber, her boots clicking against the stone floor with each agitated step. The cavernous space was illuminated only by flickering torchlight, casting ominous shadows that danced across the walls.In the center of the room, three figures lay bound and unconscious – Xander, Dax, and Kane. Ava's eyes burned with a mixture of triumph and trepidation as she studied them, her mind racing with the possibilities that lay before her.She had taken a tremendous risk in confronting Vivi and her mates, but the potential rewards had been too great to ignore. For too long, her pack had been forced to exist on the fringes, their knowledge and connection to the Starfire a closely guarded secret.But now, with these three powerful wolves in her grasp, Ava had the chance to unlock the true depths of the Starfire's power – and to claim it for herself.A low groan broke the silence, drawing Ava's attention to Xander as he began to stir. His ice-blue eyes fluttered open, confusio

    "You see, I've spent years studying the intricacies of the Starfire, unlocking its secrets one by one. And now, with you three as my captives, I can finally put that knowledge to the test."She began to pace, her boots clicking against the stone floor with each agitated step. "Your bond is strong, I'll give you that," she conceded, her voice taking on a thoughtful tone. "But even the strongest bonds can be... reshaped, molded to suit one's needs."Dax's eyes widened, realization dawning in their storm-blue depths. "You want to break our bond with Vivi," he breathed, his voice laced with a mixture of horror and disbelief.Ava's lips curved into a predatory smile, her teeth glinting in the flickering torchlight. "Not break, per se," she purred. "More like... redirect. Reshape it to suit my own purposes."Kane snarled, his dark eyes burning with fury. "You're insane if you think we'll let you do that," he spat. "Our bond is unbreakable, a sacred trust that you could never hope to unders

    The chamber echoed with the eerie chanting of Ava's pack, their voices rising and falling in a haunting rhythm as they called upon ancient forces. Xander, Kane, and Dax huddled together, their bond thrumming with a mixture of defiance and unease as they braced themselves for the ordeal to come.Ava stepped forward, her green eyes glinting with a predatory light as she surveyed her captives. "You see, gentlemen," she purred, her voice dripping with false sweetness, "the path to true power is paved with sacrifice. And today, you will be the ones to make that sacrifice."She turned to a figure cloaked in shadows, nodding her head in a silent command. The figure stepped forward, revealing itself to be an elderly woman with weathered features and piercing eyes that seemed to bore into their very souls."This is Maeva, our pack's shaman," Ava explained, her lips curving into a cruel smile. "She has mastered the art of manipulating the bonds that tie us all together – bonds of love, loyalty,

    Vivi paced the length of Kelda's cabin, her footsteps heavy with the weight of her anxiety. The older woman watched her with a mixture of concern and understanding, her ice-blue eyes tracking Vivi's movements."You must remain calm, child," Kelda said, her voice gentle but firm. "Letting fear and desperation cloud your mind will only hinder our efforts."Vivi paused, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. "How can I be calm, Kelda?" she asked, her voice trembling with emotion. "Ava has taken my mates, my family. And I can barely feel the bond between us anymore."Kelda nodded, her expression grave. "I understand your distress, Vivi. But we cannot allow ourselves to be consumed by it. Ava's magic is powerful, but it is not unbreakable. And you must think of the baby as well."Vivi's hand rested on the barely rounded gaze flickered to the array of crystals and herbs laid out before Kelda, their surfaces shimmering with an otherworldly light. "Can these truly help us find them?" she

    The weight of her mates' absence pressed down on Vivi like a suffocating blanket, the bond between them little more than a flickering ember in the back of her mind. She paced the length of her cabin, her fingers clenching and unclenching as she fought against the overwhelming sense of helplessness that threatened to consume her.A soft knock at the door broke through her spiraling thoughts, and she whirled around, her heart pounding with a mixture of hope and trepidation."Come in," she called out, her voice strained.The door creaked open, and a familiar figure stepped into the dim light – Kai, one of the wolves who had been freed from Ava's pack. His eyes were downcast, his expression one of hesitation and unease."Kai," Vivi breathed, her brow furrowing. "What is it? "Kai shook his head, his lips pressed into a thin line. "I, um, I think I may have information that could help find your mates."Vivi's heart leaped in her chest, a flicker of hope igniting within her. "Anything, Kai.

    Vivi strode out of the cabin, her steps fueled by a renewed sense of purpose. She scanned the bustling encampment, her eyes searching for the familiar figures of Gunnar and Kelda. The weight of Kai's revelation still hung heavy in her mind, but it was overshadowed by the burning determination to rescue her mates from Ava's clutches.She spotted Gunnar first, the burly warrior deep in conversation with a group of his fellow pack members. His eyes widened slightly as he caught sight of Vivi approaching, and he excused himself from the group, his brow furrowing with concern."Vivi," he rumbled, his voice laced with a mixture of caution and curiosity. "What's happened?"Vivi drew in a deep breath, steeling herself for the task ahead. "I may have a lead on where Ava has taken Xander, Kane, and Dax," she said, her voice ringing with conviction.

    Vivi exhaled slowly, willing her body to relax despite the simmering frustration coiled inside her. The training ring was quiet except for the sound of Kelda’s measured footsteps circling her. The elder witch’s sharp gaze tracked every movement, every subtle tremor of hesitation. “Again,” Kelda instructed, voice steady and unrelenting. Vivi swallowed, muscles aching with the effort of holding back—no, not holding back, containing. The fire that lived within her was there, waiting, but it wasn’t bending to her will the way she needed. It churned beneath her skin like a restless tide, too volatile, too uncertain. “I don’t have control over this,” Vivi finally admitted through clenched teeth, her breath coming fast. Kelda arched a brow, unimpressed. “Then you’ll die.” The bluntness of the statement landed like a slap. Vivi’s fingers twitched. She knew Kelda wasn’t saying it to be cruel—only to be truthful. She couldn’t afford to fail. Vivi drew in a slow, steadying breath a

    The fire flickered, casting restless shadows as the weight of the revelation settled over them. Another Starfire. Trained. Conditioned. And wielded as a weapon by the High Council.Vivi clenched her hands into fists, the burn of her own power simmering beneath her skin. A cold knot of fear curled in her stomach, but she forced herself to stay calm. This was no time for hesitation. Across from her, Xander stood locked in a silent battle of wills with Ronan, his golden eyes smoldering with fury and disbelief. His jaw flexed, his muscles tight as if he were restraining himself from lashing out.No one spoke at first, the weight of what they were facing settling heavily over them. The crackling fire in the hearth was the only sound breaking the suffocating silence.Then Kane exhaled, rolling his shoulders as though shaking off the tension pressing down on them. “We can’t afford to stand here in shock,” he said, his voice steady, unshaken. “If they have a weapon trained against us, time is

    Ronan stood at the perimeter of our stronghold, his expression calm yet heavy with unspoken weight. Even in the dim torchlight, I could see the years etched in his sharp green eyes, the ghosts of a past that lingered between him and my mates—especially Xander. Xander hadn’t moved since Ronan had spoken those words. His breathing was measured, but fury coiled beneath his rigid stance like a beast waiting to strike. "You’re lying," Xander said finally, his voice gravel-rough, dangerous. Ronan gave a slow, tired sigh and crossed his arms. "Would be a hell of a long way to come just to tell you a fairy tale, don’t you think?" Xander’s hands flexed, like he wasn’t sure whether he wanted to grab Ronan by the throat or turn away altogether. Dax shifted beside me, his stance deceptively relaxed but every muscle primed. Kane’s grip on my waist tightened slightly, drawing me closer. I swallowed, pushing down the unease curling in my stomach. "Tell us everything. Now." Ronan’s gaze f

    The High Council’s messenger was gone, but her words had left behind a heavy weight pressing over all of us. My heart still pounded, the echo of our confrontation thrumming through my veins."Then we prepare for war," Kane repeated, his voice steady, final.Xander exhaled, running a hand through his hair. It was a rare thing to see him uncertain, but this was uncharted territory. "Do you really think it will come to that?"Kelda, standing a few paces away, let out a weary breath. "It’s not a matter of 'if,' Alpha. The High Council moves with purpose. Their decision is made. You think they’ll let her remain here, unchecked? With that child growing inside her, they’ll see Vivi as a potential threat until she proves otherwise.""Which we won’t do," I interjected, my voice firm. "Because we know exactly what proving our innocence looks like to them. They want control. They want me locked away, my daughter studied like some relic of ancient power."Dax cursed under his breath and scrubbed

    The fire crackled softly in the hearth, casting a dim, flickering glow across the chamber as I curled deeper into Xander’s embrace. My body still ached, bone-deep exhaustion settling into every limb, but I was here. I was alive. And I wasn’t alone.Kane sat beside me, his fingers threading gently through my hair, while Dax rested against the edge of the bed, his hand over mine, thumb tracing slow, grounding circles against my skin. Each of their touches whispered reassurance—silent affirmations that I was safe, that they were here with me."You should rest," Kane murmured, though his voice was tight with worry. He smoothed his fingers over my temple, an unspoken plea in his touch."I'm afraid to close my eyes," I admitted quietly. Any time I shut them, the images rushed back—Ava's twisted magic, my mates under her control, the way our bond nearly shattered. The fear clawed at my chest, thick and suffocating.Dax sighed, then dipped his head, pressing a lingering kiss to the back of my

    The chamber remained eerily silent after Ava’s chilling words. The fire in the hearth crackled softly, casting flickering shadows across the stone walls, but the warmth it usually provided felt distant, hollow. Xander’s grip on Vivi’s hand was fierce, his fingers curling tightly around hers as if he could anchor her in place with nothing more than his touch."You don’t matter anymore," Vivi had rasped, yet Ava’s smirk remained, full of dark amusement.Kane stood rigid, his fingers flexing at his sides like he was restraining himself from launching forward. "Explain," he demanded, his voice low and dangerous.Ava tilted her head, her emerald eyes gleaming—not with fear, but with something far worse. Certainty. "You think because you’ve won this battle, you've won the war," she murmured. "But believe me, darling, the war is only just beginning."Xander’s fingers clenched. "I swear, Ava, if you—"Kelda’s voice cut through the tension, steady and unwavering. "Enough." She knelt beside Viv

    Xander held Vivi close, his long strides barely hindered by her weight in his arms as he sprinted toward Ava’s former stronghold. Kane ran just a step behind him, his voice sharp with urgency as he called ahead for Kelda. Dax stayed close, his body tense, his eyes scanning the darkened forest for any lingering danger. "Hold on, Vivi," Xander murmured, his voice thick with desperation. Her body felt too light, her skin too pale, her breaths coming in ragged gasps. Their bond pulsed erratically, like a failing heartbeat, and the jagged edges of their broken connection had yet to fully mend. The moment they burst through the stronghold’s door, Kelda was already moving. Incense and earth filled the air as she worked, spreading out various ritual tools. Shadows danced across her face, weathered and wise, as she turned to face them. "Lay her down," Kelda ordered, her voice steely and assured. Xander lowered Vivi onto the bed of furs near the fire, his grip reluctant to release her.
