" Are we really doing this?" Layla asked, pacing the bottom in Tyrrell's war room with a skeptical look.

Tyrrell did n't say a word for a moment, his eyes concentrated to the detailed chart laid out before him, his cutlet tracing the colorful routes that would take his army into battle. His face, generally so calm and composed, was now a mask of determination and something darker, something more dangerous.

" Aye," he eventually said, his voice low, nearly grim." Lord Duncan has forced my hand. He is gathering too numerous allies.However, it's not just the Pack that'll fall, If we do not act now. It's everything." His voice was steady, but the weight of the responsibility behind his words hung thick in the air.

Layla eventually stopped pacing, her eyes narrowed." What if. what if all that could have been avoided?" The catch in her voice stopped any farther words escaping, but still that one judgment she had uttered hung in the air. Eventually, Tyrrell looked up to her, sharp as a razor

    Layla stood by the window, gaping into the darkening sky. The wind had picked up, rustling the leaves outdoors, but outside, the pressure in the room felt far heavier. She could feel her palpitation quicken as thoughts she could not quiet pushed to the van of her mind.Layla," Tyrrell's voice cut through her thoughts, though it sounded so far down, muffled by the weight of everything swirling around her. She did not turn to him incontinently. rather, she let the moment stretch, feeling the cold air from the window against her skin as though that would bring her any clarity." Layla," Tyrrell repeated, establishment this time.She eventually met his aspect , trying to mask the feelings hanging to crack her calm surface." Yeah?"He stepped near to her, his eyes searching her face. His face was set hard by all that had happed." What is going on? You've been distant. I can feel it." There was not any wrathfulness in his voice, yet a sharp bite underscored the words." Is this about the war

    " Something's coming. I can feel it."Layla pressed her back against the cold gravestone wall, heart forging in her chest. The hallway was dimly lit, only the faint gleam of firebugs casting fluttering murk along the edges. She should not be then. She knew that. But when she saw Alexander slip through the narrow hallway, his movements careful, advised — she followed.Now, she wished she had n't.“ You’re sure he wo n’t suspect anything? ” Cassandra’s voice was smooth, edged with a quiet kind of confidence that transferred a bite down Layla’s chine.“ He’s too distracted, ” Alexander muttered. “ His mind is on the war, not on what’s right in front of him. ”Layla’s fingers coiled against the wall, her breath caught nearly between her lungs and her throat. They were talking about Tyrrell. That much was egregious. But the way Alexander spoke — the certainty in his voice — there was something further.“ You’re undervaluing him, ” Cassandra said, voice softer now, like she was considering

    " This does not add up. None of it."Layla rapped her fritters against the worn rustic table, her eyes surveying the faded essay on an old tally. It wasuseless-most of the records had been altered, canceled , or accessibly" lost." The deeper she dug, the more it sounded like someone did not want this history to be set up." You look like you are about to set that book on fire," Aiden's voice cut through the silence, laced with recreation.Layla slightly spared him a regard." I might."He lolled against the doorframe, arms crossed- the usual smirk plastered on his face." Care to tell me why you've been drilled up in then for hours, looking like a madwoman?"Layla exhaled suddenly, pushing the book away." Aliandra."Aiden's boo fled." What about her?" I do not trust her."" That is hardly news," he growled, his voice low, as he moved closer." You've been glaring daggers at her since the moment she arrived."Layla's eyes narrowed." That is because something is not right. And I eventuall

    " I still do n’t trust her. Not fully. But"Layla exhaled sluggishly, watching the fluttering flames in front of her. The fire crepitated in the night air, casting long murk against the trees. Aliandra sat across from her, legs put away beneath her, her expression undecipherable as she poked at the embers with a stick." You’re quiet tonight," Aliandra remarked, not looking up.Layla signed." Not important to say."Aliandra scowled, flipping the stick into the fire." That is a taradiddle . You always have something to say."Layla let out a shriek, rubbing her tabernacles." Fine. perhaps I just do not know how to say it."Aliandra leaned forward slightly." Try me."Layla studied her, trying to judge the sincerity of those gold eyes. She'd spent weeks searching for cracks in Aliandra's address, staying for the moment she would let something slip out and show herself as a fabricator, a trouble. But so far, nothing. Not one slip- up. No overt deception. Just tolerance.And that, Layla sup

    " It's not that I do not trust Tyrrell. It's just"Layla gripped her jaw, gaping into the dimly lit corridor of the Pack house. The walls felt like they were closing in, the air thick with something implied. She had spent the last hour replaying every discussion, every regard, every moment where mistrustfulness had begun to take root.And Alexander — damn him — knew exactly how to water-soak those seeds." You are allowing too important again."His voice was low and smooth behind her, the kind of tone that gave no suggestion whether he was regaled or authentically concerned. Layla did not turn. She did not have to. She could feel him watching her, staying, calculating." I do that occasionally," she murmured.Alexander chortled, stepping near." So I have noticed. And what exactly has you lost in thought tonight? Tyrrell?"Layla blew out a hard breath." Why do you always bring him up?"" Because he is always on your mind."Her fritters flexed at her sides. He was not wrong, and that wa

    " He is changing."Layla let out a heavy sigh, her hands clasping onto the edge of the rustic table as she looked at the half-empty mug of tea before her. The warmth had long faded, much like the certainty that used to live in her toward Tyrrell.The room was quiet; the only sound was the light creaking of the fire. contrary her, Rhea sat with a considered look, running her fingers over the rim of her mug. She had said veritably little as yet. Layla knew Rhea well enough to know how she liked to stay, allowing the silence to push down on a person until the words came more naturally.Layla let out a heavy shriek." He snapped at one of the patrol guards today. Just for asking a question. He is noway done that ahead."Rhea turned her head slightly." And you are sure it's just stress?"Layla lowered ." What differently would it be?"A shrug." People do not break all at formerly, Layla. It happens in pieces. occasionally you do not notice until there is nothing left of who they used to be.

    Layla's fingers shook as she unfolded the brittle parchment. The ink had faded in some places, but the words — those words — sounded to have been engraved into the gist of her bones." To the one who holds my fate," the letter began.Her breath caught. She read on, the coming lines making her twinkle quicken." The immortality that binds the blood of the Blackwood line is no gift, but a curse. A punishment. It's tied to love, to immolate. And should the one bound by fate choose to break it, the price wo n't be paid in blood, but in the heart."Layla swallowed hard as her throat had suddenly gone dry. This could not be real, it had to be some kind of cruel joke, some relic from another time that had nothing whatsoever to do with her.But why was it put away away in Tyrrell's chambers? Why had someone gone to such an extent to keep it from him?A unforeseen rap at the door transferred her jumping. She folded the letter hastily, cramming it into the pocket of her cloak." Enter."The door

    " What if I make the wrong choice?"Layla goggled at her reflection in the small mirror, slightly feting the woman gaping back. Her eyes, formerly full of conviction, now fluttered with mistrustfulness, and her lips bucketed as she rumored out the question to nobody but herself.She gripped the letter in her hands, the edges crumpled from how tightly she had been gripping it. It felt heavier than paper should- like the weight of it carried the fate of everything she held dear.A sharp knock on the door eventually broke her trance." Layla, open up," Rhea's voice was firm but soft." I know you are in there."Layla dithered. She was not ready for this discussion. But it was not going to change a thing by avoiding it.She took a deep breath and opened the door.Rhea stepped outside without an invitation, her eyes surveying incontinently to Layla's face." You look like you have not slept in days."" I have n't," Layla replied, her voice coarse.Rhea folded her arms." Are you going to tell

    "You should've stopped me."Layla's voice pierced the silence of the war room, as sharp as the blade she had just driven into the wooden table. The candlelight danced, casting long shadows across the stone walls, but neither she nor Tyrrell paid it any mind.Tyrrell stood across from her, arms folded, his expression unreadable. "Stopped you from what? Saving what's left of us?"Layla huffed out an angry laugh as she ran her hand through her hair. "No, for making the damned decision in the first place-for sending Samira on that mission, for allowing myself to dream we had something of a possibility to win in this."Tyrrell's jaw clenched. "She knew the risk.""Don't." Layla pointed a shaking finger at Tyrrell. "Don't even dare act as if that does make it easy.Tyrrell let out a slow breath, the weight of the night bearing down on him. "You think I don't feel it? You think I don't hear her screaming in my head every time I close my damn eyes?"Layla's fists clenched. "Then why do you ke

    "You sure about this?"Tyrrell looked up from his blade, running a cloth over its edge one last time. Elias was across from him, arms crossed, brows furrowed. The flickering torchlight in the room lent gravity to the tension between them."We don't have a choice," Tyrrell muttered, sliding the dagger into his belt.Elias let out a slow breath, shaking his head. "We always have a choice."Not this time."Layla stood at the far side of the war room, staring down at the map stretched across the wood table. The enemy's supply lines ran deep-carefully planned, well-guarded. Cutting them off wouldn't just weaken their hold on the siege. It could turn the tide completely.But it had to be done right.Layla dug her fingers into the surface of the table, her mind racing. "Infiltration won't be the hard part," she said finally. "It's getting back out."Tyrrell smirked. "Good thing I like a challenge."Elias wasn't amused. "This isn't a game."Layla raised her head, her gaze sharp. "That's enoug

    " They are out there."Layla did not need Tyrrell to tell her that. She could feel it- the weight in the air, thick with expectation. The enemy forces had moved like murk in the night, girding the fort with ruthless perfection. Now they were staying, watching, tensing the mesh.She stood at the edge of the stone wall, surveying the treeline beyond the open field. The torches lining their defenses flitted, their light slightly pushing back the darkness." How numerous?" she asked, voice low.Tyrrell exhaled through his nose, his expression grim." further than we can count from over then. They have cut off every possible escape route. We are boxed in."A muscle in her jaw ticked." No reinforcements?"Tyrrell shook his head." Nothing. No dispatches getting in or out. They have got runners watching every path. The alternate anyone tries to break through, they'll be torn piecemeal."Layla's fingers coiled into fists. This was not just a siege. This was a slow, deliberate suffocation.A fig

    " You should not be then." Layla's voice was a whip of sword, slicing through the night.The firelight danced across her face as she goggled at the figure standing just beyond its light. The people behind her were tense, ready to attack at her word, but she raised a hand, averting them. This was n't an ordinary enemy.The man before her took a slow step forward, his movements deliberate, as if testing the weight of her words. His dark eyes glistered with something undecipherable, something Layla did n’t trust.“ I came to talk, ” he said, voice smooth, calm. Too calm. “ That is, unless you’d rather continue this war alone. ”Besides her, Tyrrell shifted, fingers twitching on his belt to where his gun rested." You anticipate us to believe you came then just to sputter, Cassius?" His voice had a healthy quantum of doubt trickling from it.Cassius scowled and crossed his arms over his casket." What can I say? I am feeling generous tonight.Layla studied him, her instincts at war with her

    " Move out, now!" Layla's voice cut through the pressure in the camp, sharp and commanding, like a cutter. Her eyes darted over her pack, surveying the faces of those who had gathered. Every one of them stood ready, but she could feel the unease in the air. There was no turning back now.Eerily silent, the camp fell as they came together, importing the storm above them that hung in the air. Everyone knew what was to be gained and lost. Every wolf, every fighter, understood the risk. But there was no fear. Not yet. Layla refused to let in the fear. Not today." Ready?" she rumoured, her voice low but indeed. She scrutinized around, again coming to rest on the figure that stood beside her- Jace deposited himself at her side, was formerly holding his armament, his eyes sharp and focused." Ready as we'll ever be," Jace said, slightly above a murmur in the still air." They are coming. Got to move out."In one nippy stir, Layla gave the order, and the pack surged forward. The earth sounded

    " You ready?" Jace's voice was low, the question carrying an edge to it that had not been there ahead. It was the kind of question you ask when you know the answer is everything.Layla did not say anything right down. She dragged on the strips of her gear, and her fritters squeezed tight around the hilt of the brand hanging at her side. She felt its weight all the weight, really, of everything that had brought them to this point every decision, every fight, every defeat leading up to now. And the storm was about to hit.Just get this over with," she murmured, further to herself than to Jace. But he heard it, and the nod he gave her was slightly distinguishable. He knew what she was allowing, perhaps indeed better than she did.They were standing in the camp, the fire fluttering low, the air thick with tension. A many of the other wolves were scattered around, stropping weapons, agitating strategies in hushed tones. But Layla was not concentrated on them. Her eyes were fixed on the hor

    "Where is he?"Layla's voice cut into the thick, heavy silence like a blade that had been whetted by the weight it carried within this war room. The room itself was dark-the only light an occasional flickering from the low-burning fire, dancing in shadows across old stone walls. Hard, cool eyes stared without blinking at a map laid flat before her; crumpled, yet serviceable. Plans were being rehashed, people regrouped, and answers were needed.The injuries to Tyrrell had been grievous, and still convalescing, he would not be much help in times to come anytime sooner. Finally, out of danger but still with dark circles beneath his eyes and shallow jerks of breath with movement, he did little good for Layla, who was running out of time after all-not with the threat of war looming in every direction.One of her most trusted warriors, Jace, spoke up, his voice low but firm. "Dorian's families holed up at their estate, a few miles to the west. But it's heavily guarded. No one's gotten in si

    Layla felt her instincts kick in as she and her team moved through the dense forest. The air was heavier than it should be, thick with a silence that unnerved her. Even the leaves rustling sounded like they held their breath. She knew something was off, but she wasn't quite sure what. Yet."Something's off," she muttered, scanning around them.Tyrrell, walking a few paces ahead, didn’t respond right away. He was always the more level-headed of the two. “Keep moving,” he finally said, his voice steady, though his own sharp eyes darted to the treeline. “We’ve been through worse.”Layla nodded, but the knot in her stomach constricted. Every part of her was screaming that they were walking right into a trap-a trap she hadn't seen coming, not this one, not from this ally.But with the first chopper sound wave, her thoughts flashed to Dorian-a wolf, one of their staunchest allies who'd fought with them for months-run through her brain. He's the one brought the intel-insisted this route woul

    “You’re sure this is the place” Layla asked, her voice tight with a blend of jitters and determination. She squinched low, her eyes surveying the darkened landscape beyond the trees, where the faintest figure of the enemy's fort impended. The night was still, save for the occasional howl of leaves. The air felt thick, as if it was holding its breath.Tyrrell jounced. His aspect cut through the murk sprucely." The information's good. The rogue wolves we've encountered are from this area. We cannot let them get any further, Layla. We need answers."Layla's jaw tensed, her heart pounding in her chest. also, we take them, she said, her voice firm. We get the answers we need, and we do it presto.Tyrrell's eyes darted to her." Stay focused. We need to move still.She smelled her teeth but said nothing. It had been a long way, and the last thing she wanted was to peril this chance at getting inside enemy home. Every step had been calculated, every moment measured. The enemy's operations wer
