Hyperion had sat in his son-in-law's chair behind the desk while Cronos and Crius sat on the sofa against the wall across from the desk. Bib motioned to the loveseat beside the couch, "Have a seat, please. Do the two of you need anything to eat or drink? I know you have had a long journey."Both s
The stories started as whispers—rumors passed between packs like secrets carried on the wind. Over the past two weeks, entire packs had vanished, leaving behind only silent, desolate lands. Nobody knew where they had gone. Attempts to approach the missing packs’ territories were futile; it was as th
From the very beginning, I have watched over them—the ones destined for something greater. I remember when they were scattered, oblivious to one another, unaware of the higher purpose that bound them. Time has a way of weaving destinies together, and now, as I gaze upon my granddaughters, I see the
After my father informed me that Grandmother wanted to see me in Demon’s room, I turned to Nathan, my mate. His light grey eyes softened as they met mine, and I leaned in, pressing a lingering kiss to his lips. His warmth, his scent grounded me for a moment before duty pulled me away.“I won’t be lo
Sweet Katia, one-half of the Moon Goddess, watches over all her wolves, but none more closely than me. Most wolves are fortunate. They bond seamlessly with their human halves, sharing thoughts, instincts, and purpose. Together, they thrive within their packs, honored and cherished, whether as powerf
The voices are relentless, echoing through this void that holds me captive. They whisper, taunt, and question me incessantly. Why have I not joined the rest? Why am I still sleeping? I have no answers for them. I am trapped—trapped in this suffocating abyss of nothingness. Darkness stretches in ever
The stories began as whispers—rumors drifting between packs like secrets on the wind. At first, they were easy to dismiss, just tales meant to stir fear or wonder. But over the past two weeks, the whispers grew into something darker. Entire packs had vanished without a trace, leaving empty dens and
I couldn’t help but smile as I watched the young lady’s face twist in terror. Her mouth opened and closed like a fish gasping for water, her big brown eyes darting wildly, searching for something she couldn’t find. A shiver ran down her spine, and I saw the involuntary shudder that followed. She gra
The barrier drops, and Demon is there to help us through and keep the idiots out. Once we are all through and the barrier is back in place, we head to the pit. The fire is barely ever out anymore. The bonfire has become the center of our pack. It is where we end up for everything, no matter the weat
Walking the last few miles toward what was now my new home with my mate, family, and pack, I watched Katia. Something had changed in her, Selene, her sister, and my mate. Whatever it was, it weighed heavily on our Alpha Luna. Her mate Nathan kept glancing back at her, his brow furrowed. I could feel
We sat there for what felt like an eternity, the silence pressing against my ears like a scream held too long. Time blurred in the heavy stillness, broken only by the quiet sobs and the rustle of leaves under careful steps. We mourned lives we had barely known, souls who had barely brushed our world
Mark was right behind her, but he froze, his eyes locked on the fire as realization dawned. He moved to help, tearing away the burning debris with shaking hands."Oh, Goddess… no."I threw my hands over the mother’s ears, trying to shield her from the sounds, but her eyes were rolling back when I lo
*Trigger Warning-Death of mother and pups. Please read at your discretion. This chapter is written to further the book, and I mean no disrespect to anyone who has lost a child*"No," I whispered, my voice barely louder than a breath, but the anguish behind it clawed at my throat. Then, as the horror
“No,” Agnes said softly, a tear slipping down her cheek. “She wasn’t crazy, Alpha. She was doing everything she could to keep her babies alive. She fed them what little milk her body could produce and kept them quiet and safe.”I couldn’t stay quiet anymore. The weight of it was too much.“They were
I had no idea how long we had been running. The cool air rushed past me, carrying the scent of damp earth and the ever-present forest musk. The steady sound of paws pounding against the ground echoed through the trees as we followed the river, its shimmering surface guiding us. My heart hammered in
I watched in awe as she stood unyielding yet filled with love before her mate. Alpha Nathan’s jaw clenched; his eyes filled with reluctant acceptance. "Fine," he grumbled, but his voice was affectionately laced. "But if this weakens you… I’m not carrying you back.""Yes, you will," she whispered wit
"How can you be sure it’s her you feel and not something sinister trying to lead us into a trap?" Alpha Mark's voice was low but filled with concern, his piercing gaze locking onto mine. His words echoed through my mind, making my stomach twist in uncertainty. But I knew. I felt it deep within my so
