Sebastian POVAs I proceeded through the dimly illuminated hallways of the compound, I felt as though a weight was weighing down on my shoulders, and the air became heavier. There was a continual restlessness beneath my skin that caused the fine hairs on my scruff spring up.Something was approaching a dimness that was permeating the boundaries of my area, excluding me. I could taste it on the back of my tongue every time I inhaled too deeply. It was faint, cloyingly sharp. An ill omen that made my wolf instincts uneasy.I moved the corner into the main cave area and used a simple eye to filter the gathered essences of my inner circle. Slumping against the rear wall, Liam's loose limbed indifference barely concealed the wounded hunter lurking just underneath. His icy gaze tracked my movements, no doubt cataloging the subtle surge of pressure running through my shell. Opposite them, slouched over a dispersed group of guides, were Stefan and Rux, doubtless plotting watch courses and sec

Athena POVAfter his dark disclosure, Sebastian's diversion hung over the cave like an oppressive mist. His strong shoulders stayed taut, his chiseled features etched into an unwavering frown, as he studied maps and gave more and more orders regarding security. He was radiating waves of anxiety that hung over the room like a thick cloak, contributing to the unsettling tension that hung over everything. The air itself seemed to be holding its breath in nervous anticipation of something.Every time I got closer to him, my own discomfort increased. It was an odd, irrational sensation, a foreboding of disaster. Whatever it was that was making Sebastian so nervous obviously alluded to something more sinister than a simple territorial dispute.I opened my most recent jewelry sketchbook and sank further into the recliner of the cave, enjoying my third cup of chamomile that morning. Sebastian's increasing fervor was causing me to feel discordant, so I turned to my craft and engaged in the pain

Sienna POVThere seemed to be a tangible energy circulating through the hallways these days due to the hectic undercurrent of barely controlled mayhem rippling through the ranks. I could taste the acidic flavor of fear and bewilderment woven into the air itself every time I breathed in too deeply. Similar to the blissful prelude to a magnificent multi course tasting that whetted my desire for the main dish.My lips twisted in wicked satisfaction as another heavy and stifling tremor of heightened tension swept through the den. With an air of power and stern purpose emanating from every fiber, Sebastian marched into the epicenter and gave orders to his collected minions. No longer the harsh, unyielding ruler keeping a cruel façade of control over his realm. Well, his emerald eyes were haunted by the weight of whatever unknown horror had started to encroach on his cherished domain, and his jaw was clinched. He now appeared tantalizingly disoriented. The erratic movement of his large che

Liam POVThe shadows grew deeper and more intense, almost tangible, as we ventured beyond the relatively secure perimeter of the enclosure, creating the illusion that the forest was encroaching from all sides. A dense, stifling mass that was almost impossible to choke on stuck to the air with every breath."Is that tasteable to anyone else?" Reese rumbled from my side, his raspy rasp having a distinct edge. "Like a fetid and decayed substance that lingers on the tongue,"Our little company of scouts murmured a somber, tightly grouped agreement at his comments. Now even the inexperienced could smell the sickening stink of hideous decay, which was woven into the air itself like a pervasive poison and became thicker with every step.I felt my hackles progressively rise as the wolf snarled restlessly beneath me, its senses picking up on the ever increasing corruption that surrounded us. An overpowering, almost palpable sense of animosity made all of one's deepest instincts growl and make

Rux’s POV The forest I felt like it was closing in on me from all sides, and the shadows were making frightening shapes that danced just out of sight. The air was thick and smelled really bad, making it impossible to breathe. Each breath I took felt heavy, like I might choke. I told my team to spread out in an open half circle, and we searched the area carefully. Every sound, like a snapped twig or rustle in the trees, made my heart race with fear.Something strange had happened in this small part of the forest within our country's borders. I could smell it a mix of rotten meat and burnt fur. As one of the leaders of our group, I could feel danger. I told my team to be cautious. Despite our experience, we trusted each other to face any obstacles together. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced. My senses were suddenly very sensitive. I could feel the stress in the air as we searched for clues. Then, we found it a strange, disturbing odor that seemed to hang in the air like a

Farrell POVIt's probably my fault for not anticipating the visuals. When your family is steeped in filthy heritage, there is some work-related risk. The sight usually emerges when you least expect it, such as amid a furious, no-holds-barred quest to defeat the demonic forces that have just wreaked havoc on your neighborhood. I've never been great at timing my psychic abilities.I am the psychic warrior and guardian of Sebastian's pack. I use my special abilities to detect dangers early on and then go into battle with my packmates to defend our area. This is a combat position that combines frontline combat tasks with psychic foresight.My first hint was that I was ready to have another floating migraine attack. A contraction like a boa squeezing its victim passed across my temples. At first, it was merely a minor pressure that might be dismissed as the normal physical strain of transitioning between wolf and human physiologies. However, the faint ache quickly transformed into a full-f

Dimitri POVYes, I could definitely sense their apprehension. That sweet, sickening smell was the one that made trespassers piss themselves off when they realized they had made the terrible mistake of invading sovereign Moongrave land.I'm Dimitri, and in combat, I'm known for my recklessness and intense strength among my pack. I may be viewed by some as a risk because I let instinct take precedence over logic, but I will always be loyal to Alpha Sebastian and our pack. Even though I sometimes behave rashly, I always act to ensure the life and safety of our pack.Alright. Allow the aroma of their growing terror to permeate each panting breath. It would add to the sweetness of running them down and removing their internal organs from their cavities.As Symoné and I spread out, boxing in the scent trail of the running quarry between us, a feral grin split my snout. When the blood tied knots, the alpha bitch knew what she was doing, despite her dainty, she wolf prissiness.The remainder o

Symoné POVIt was my responsibility as the pack's huntress to keep everyone safe, especially the young ones who will continue our lineage. I had to use my unique psychic powers to identify danger before it affected our pack; I couldn't just watch on.I knew I had to move quickly when those horrible monster creatures entered our territory. The others in the pack were positioning themselves for an attack, but I had a feeling this menace went beyond physical.I used my abilities to surround us with a shield and chanted the appropriate phrases to control the paranormal forces. By blocking their strikes, my shield would stop the aliens from tearing apart reality itself. We had no choice but to stop them there.Immediately, I would like to make one thing abundantly clear: I am not the kind of she-wolf who sits about and waits to be discovered and saved. To any man who believes that I am feeble, I am about to give him an unpleasant shock. I'm not simply going to be here to quiet down and hav

Hendrix POVI stood gravely before the large ceremonial fire, the flickering flames creating dance shadows on the old stones around me. For my family history, this hallowed place carried decades of power and memories. Tonight, I could sense the weight of that legacy heavy with respect and feeling.Raising my arms, I started the hallowed rights passed down over innumerable years. "We come here on this holy equinox to pay tribute to Athena and Sebastian, the fabled founders of our family. Along with building this wonderful family, the mates whose unwavering love and unbreakable friendship shaped the entire path of our lives.As the gathered members of my pack listened with great concentration, my words rang across the quiet forest grove. We gathered together as one on this night, mothers and fathers with babies in arms, wizened elderly with lined faces, raucous younglings hardly able to contain their excitement."Their story is one of huge hardships faced with far more fortitude, of dar

Athena & Sebastian's POV Athena's povI sighed contentedly as I savored the brilliant glow of the fall sunset streaming over the large den windows. I curled in my beloved overstuffed chair while ribbons of blazing orange and crimsons bathed the old timber beams in warm, nostalgic colors.Though my face showed the wrinkles and lines from a very busy life, I felt an ageless tranquility cover me like a gentle, reassuring blanket. Once so brilliant and strong, my piercing blue eyes now reflected a calm ocean of earned knowledge and fulfillment.A faintly familiar smell of cedarwood and spice floated around as two strong, worn-out hands gently rested on my thin shoulders with learned sensitivity. Sebastian bent down to tenderly kiss my forehead, and I reached up to grab his palm. "You look so wonderfully calm, my eternal goddess," he said softly, his voice rasping but preserving that virile tone that still made my heart flutter after all these years. Looking up at him with a gentle smil

Hendrix POVAs I looked at the young people fresh-faced before me, the crackling fires covered the ancient lair in a warm, flickering brilliance. Though soft in years, I could already see the marks of great leaders in their controlled poses and focused eyes.These dogs stood for the birth of a new age to be developed on the hard-earned ideas and visions left to us by my heroic parents, therefore reflecting the future of our combined packs. It was now my great responsibility as Athena and Sebastian's son and Jax my younger brother to educate this new generation those revered values and ancestral knowledge."You all know the significance of why we've convened here this night," I began, letting my rich baritone carry the whole weight of the occasion. "The holy ceremonies to raise you from students to sovereigns over the continuation of our civilization's enlightened precepts."A handful of the younger ones seemed uncomfortable at the gravity of my words. I wore a forced smile on my worn

Anna POVAcross the sandstone walls of the den, soft candlelight danced shadows that appeared to bring the old etchings to life. Scenes of great wars, somber ceremonies, and the otherworldly visues of the ancient ones danced in the dazzling light. I inhaled steadying, letting the holy aura envelop me as I dropped myself onto the soft fur before the ceremonial fire pit. My fingertips gently stroked the strong wood lovingly white oak blessed by Luna Amara herself, drenched in berries. Its airy, cleansing tendrils brushed my flesh like a phantom mist.Since I had formally adopted Alpha's mantle, today was the first full moon. A fresh moon cycle was breaking through a fresh era. One whereby I would guide our unified alliance into an unparalleled period of peace and illumination. No little chore for a young person two decades old. But my spiritual background and the iron will have passed on from my ancestors inundated my very cells with blessed power and conviction. Little footsteps' gen

Athena POVTen Years A flickering in the lifetime of an eternal, but eons appeared to have changed all around me. From the roots of conflict and hardship Sebastian and I had lived, so much had blossomed.The den bathroom mirror flashed back a mature beauty, residual youthful brightness now enhanced by a royal, almost imperial posture. Laugh lines framed whole lips, showing a ten-year history of great happiness. My small, toned body nevertheless turned alpha heads. Sebastian most definitely never gets bored with destroying me every night as lovesick newlyweds do.As I turned the diamond encrusted wedding band around my finger, I felt a gentle satisfaction. Now the perfect unity symbol I had created for that terrible Sienna embodied the purest spousal loyalty. The great light of our love had sterilized her deadly daggers of betrayal and evil. A high pitched shriek pulled me from dream. I grinned, adjusting my summer tunic as tiny feet pounded closer. The door opened and a tiny tornado

Sienna Mother POVMy tending tools' regular clunk against the hard-packed mud floor offered a calm cadence. Every careful cut of root vegetables and herb mixing functioned as a little ritualistic offering to drive out the demons of past misdeeds.I still felt the weight of that darkness weighing down on me, an inky, stifling miasma of sadness, wrath, and misplaced vengeance almost corrupting me beyond redemption even now. The road I had begun down in the name of exacting revenge for my daughter Sienna was one tinged with terrible crimes and sins. But I had been spared completely giving my soul to those horrible depths by the kindness and intelligence of the Nightwalkers and allied packs. My life had been given an improbable continuity, a chance atonement I knew I could never merit.Sometimes even the basic tasks of attending to the spiritual and medical needs of our new haven felt like an unjustified privilege. The mother of a deranged, homicidal monstrosity, how could I be given r

Athena POVOur caravan reached the last mountain pass as the first rays of light were barely peeping over the horizon. A collective silence descended over the worn-out procession of wolves as the jagged forms gave way to the expansive views beyond.This was it the rich valley Hendrix had sought with every deliberate step of our exhausting journey. Virgin and pure like the earth before the embrace of civilization's development, a real paradise unspoiled by human efforts. As we first viewed the panoramic sight, Sebastian's calming presence at my side helped me. From this distance, the promise of refuge emanated from the very ground itself - a rich, earthy scent that piqued my increased lupine senses. Hendrix signaled for the packs to make camp just inside the pass, clearly understanding the need to gather before setting off into our fresh starts. Though tired to the bone, the assembled thrumming masses carried a tangible pulse of relief and expectation."Well!" The austere rumbling of

Sebastian POVOur large pack was leaving the gathering grounds as the first rays of dawn just peaked on the horizon. Though my body had long since given up the vitality of youth, in those first moments an almost electric stream of energy surged through me. This was it, the start of our magnificent journey into hitherto undiscovered territory.My eyes strayed over the line of wolves walking solemnly beside me. So many well-known people, generations of bloodlines and kinships entwined under those lupine pelts. It was a humble sight that sent off a reflexive protectiveness right down in my core.Whatever paths forward, whatever dangers we were destined to face, I would make sure our people came out on the other side intact. Too much had already been given up to let this desperate endeavor fall apart before it could start."You're quite reflective this morning." As Athena dropped into step next to me, her little voice caught my attention. " EVEN for you."I sensed the rueful half-smile of

Hendrix POVI waited in the hole for the packs to react to my suggestion in great silence. The choice of whether to leave our ancestral house felt like a millstone around every lupine throat. It was against every strand of our beings to uproot our whole lives and to turn our backs on the places that had protected us for ages. Still, the hard fact of cold could not be overlooked the human world was invading far too much of our land. If we stayed, exposure and the carnage that would surely follow seemed like an increasingly certain fate. The alphas started nodding their terrible assent one by one. First was Drystan, with his sharp but firm rugged features. The grizzled warrior understood the great need of this circumstance after seeing enough cycles of violence and death. "You make a good point, Hendrix," he rumbled, his rich baritone booming across the hollow. "Much as it hurts, we have to give our packs top priority. If moving is the only way we can guarantee our ongoing safety and
