The moonlight reflected off the accusing eyes of the Grey Hollow pack as murmurs rippled through the assembly. The revelation of Eli’s deal with Zara had sown discord among the council and pack members alike. Lena stood in the center of the storm, her pulse thumping in her chest, as whispers of treachery blended with the crisp night air."You've lied to us, Eli." One of the elders, a grizzled wolf named Aldric, snarled. “How long have you plotted against your own pack? Against the bloodline you swore to protect?”Eli’s calm façade crumbled as he clenched his fists, his voice sharp with desperation. “Do not be swayed by the words of a traitor,” he spat, glaring at Damon. “He serves no one but himself.”“And what about you?” Lena interjected, stepping forward. Her voice rang clear, cutting through the chaos. “You’ve manipulated this pack, weaponized their fear of me, and for what? Power? Control?”Eli turned to her, his eyes blazing. “You think your strength will save you, Lena? Power w

The fire crackled softly in the center of the camp, casting dancing shadows on the wary faces of the Grey Hollow pack. Though Lena had claimed victory over Eli and solidified her place as their leader, the unsettling warning from the shadowy figure lingered like a cloud. Even the night seemed heavier, the wind whispering ominously through the trees.Lena sat at the edge of the gathering, her back straight but her thoughts restless. Across the fire, Kaden watched her closely. His sharp, golden eyes softened only for her, but his posture remained alert. He was no stranger to threats like the one they’d received, and he knew better than to dismiss it.“I can feel your worry from here,” Kaden said, his voice low.Lena looked up, the corner of her mouth twitching into a faint smile. “I’m trying to focus. The pack needs me to be steady.”“You’ve earned their loyalty, Lena. Don’t let doubt cloud that.”Her gaze flickered to Damon, who sat apart from the others, sharpening a blade with slow,

The moon was a silver blade cutting through the night sky, casting an ethereal glow over the Grey Hollow pack lands. Deep in the forest, Lena stood on the sacred ground, her heart pounding as the pack surrounded her in a tight circle. Every wolf’s eyes were on her, expectant, eager. This was her moment, her first shift.It was meant to be the most proudest night of her life. She was meant to become the Luna of the Grey Hollow pack because she was the heir to a very powerful bloodline, fated to become the Luna of the Grey Hollow pack. Her parents, Alphas of great strength and repute, had groomed her for this moment. Their legacy ran in her veins, and tonight, it would show itself.Lena could feel the weight of her bloodline in her bones, the pull of the wolf that was supposed to be waiting just beneath her skin. Yet, as the minutes stretched and the tension in the air thickened, nothing came.Her breath hitched, fear creeping into her chest. She concentrated harder, willing the shift t

The chilly air stunged Lena's skin even as she followed Kaden farther into the forest, the sound of their steps muted by the thick underbrush. The weight of the night was pressing down on her shoulders, and every stride felt heavier than the one before. She didn't even know why she had agreed to follow him, less alone where they were heading. She only knew that she couldn't return to the shame she had left behind or to the pack that had rejected her.Kaden's broad frame cut through the darkness like a stealth predator as he moved forward. He moved with a grace that belied his stature. His senses were acutely aware of their environment. Oftentimes he would turn back to look at Lena's face, his expression neutral, but there was a hint of evil in his eyes.Lena had several questions, but the one that was burning inside of her was the most important: Why was he helping her? The Alpha of a rival pack had no reason to involve himself in her cursed fate. But here he was by her side, guiding

Lena sat at the hilltop of the pack, gazing down at the swarm of wolves below, the sky still flecked with blue and purple hue. The mist in the forest enveloped the trees at dawn, shielding the world from the harsh reality that awaited them.Lena wrapped her arms around herself in a bid to protect herself from the fear that was consuming her. Her destiny as the Luna of the future was to be sealed on this day. Standing by Damon's side, the pack would see her power as she transitioned into her wolf for the first time. For as long as she could remember, she had dreamed of this moment because she thought it would confirm her position and worth.But now, all those dreams suddenly appeared brittle, like glass perched on the edge of a cliff. Her thoughts were all over her head.She had spent the last week in the company of Kaden, facing threats she could never have imagined. Yet, despite the danger and fear, there had been a strange solace in their growing bond. Kaden had become someone she r

Lena's mind was racing as they rushed through the woodland. She was aware that Damon was after her and would not give up until he got her. In addition to being a slight to his feelings, his rejection had been a power move. By casting her aside, he had positioned himself to take control of the pack without her.But there was something more to it. The hatred in Damon’s eyes when he had rejected her… it had been personal. He didn’t just want to rule, he wanted to see her broken, destroyed. And now, as the wolves continued to pursue them, Lena knew that Damon’s obsession had grown into something darker.“Why would Damon do this?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. “He rejected me and now, he wants me dead.”Kaden glanced at her, his expression grim. “Damon’s not acting alone. He’s working with Zara.”The name sent a chill down Lena’s spine. Zara, the sorceress responsible for her family’s curse. The one who had manipulated their bloodline for centuries. If Damon had allied himse

Lena woke up as her heart pounded in her ears. She observed her current environment closely as the cold air hit her skin. Above her was the thick forest with leaves rustling in the breeze. Her entire body hurt, and she had a persistent feeling that something had changed inside of her.She struggled to sit up, trying to steady her thoughts. All she could recall was Zara's enchantment, Damon's treachery, and Kaden's frantic appeal for her. Everything felt different now, as if her consciousness had expanded beyond its bounds and her senses had become more acute.Her wolf.It was there, she could feel it, no longer silenced by the curse. It hummed beneath her skin, not fully awakened but waiting, a coiled force ready to be unleashed. But the awakening hadn’t brought clarity, only more questions. What had Zara done? And where was Kaden?A sudden snap of a twig caught her attention, and she twisted around, her heart racing. Kaden emerged from the shadows, his face pale and drawn, his eyes s

Lena stood in the open area staring blankly at the charred remains of her family's home. She stood there with a lot on her mind, though the chilly breeze rustled the leaves beneath her boots making small noises, she was lost in thought. Her family's home used to be a warm, inviting space where people laughed and loved one another, but now it's just a horrible memory, a harsh reminder of what she had lost. Her parents, the most powerful alphas in the history of the Grey Hollow pack, had passed away. The passing of them had destroyed the very core of her existence.She had always carried the burden of the past, but now it was overwhelming, engulfing her in feelings of guilt and uncertainty. Her grip on the necklace from her mother tightened, the last tangible bond she had. Her expectation was that this place would provide some form of resolution, but instead, it intensifies the emptiness within her.Lena's thoughts went back to the evening when everything took a turn. The pack had assem

Lena stood in the center of the storm, her pulse thumping in her chest, as whispers of treachery blended with the crisp night air."You've lied to us, Eli."

The moon hung high as Lena and Kaden arrived at the moonlit clearing. Shadows danced among the ancient trees, their branches twisted and gnarled, casting an eerie silence over the assembly gathered around. Council members stood in a tight formation, their expressions cold and calculating as they watched Lena and Kaden approach.Eli's presence towered over the group, his eyes shining with an odd sense of delight despite his expressionless face. He raised a hand and the murmurs that echoed across the throng were silenced."Lena," he yelled, his voice resonating in the silence. "You've been called here to make a decision as well as to answer for the threat you pose. Accept the council's protection, step aside, and give up the power you cannot control, or suffer the repercussions of disobedience.The words hovered over the atmosphere, it's weight heavy with unspoken meaning. Lena clinched her hands, rage bubbling beneath her skin as she gazed out over the faces of people who had once swor

The quiet of the night settled heavily over Grey Hollow, a stillness that felt both welcome and unnatural. Lena had barely managed to catch her breath since Zara’s retreat, yet she knew this was only the beginning. There was a new threat lurking, one Zara hinted at with her parting words, and Lena couldn’t shake the feeling that this dark force was more insidious than any curse.Her thoughts drifted back to her family, to the whispers of the ancient bloodline her mother had spoken of once, something she barely remembered but felt strongly was connected to her. In that moment, she made a silent vow: whatever new darkness was coming, she would face it. This was her world to protect.Beside her, Kaden’s gaze softened. “You look ready to take on an army by yourself.”“Maybe I am.” She tried to smile, but her mind was elsewhere. “There’s so much we don’t understand yet, Kaden. Zara was only one piece of the puzzle. Whatever she was hiding, I think it’s connected to what happened to my pare

The moon hung low over the Grey Hollow pack’s sacred grounds, casting long shadows across the forest. Lena’s heart thumped with a mixture of apprehension and fury. Kaden walked by her side, his gaze sharp, his posture tense. She could feel the anticipation rolling off him, each step heavy with unspoken words.They were drawing closer to the heart of the curse, closer to Zara. Lena’s instincts flared; she knew this night could change everything.“What are you thinking?” Kaden asked, his voice a low rumble that broke the silence between them. His hand brushed against hers, offering reassurance and something else… trust.Lena took a breath, grounding herself. “I keep feeling like we’re missing something. Zara is too powerful, too calculated. It’s as if she wants us to come to her, like she’s waiting for this.”Kaden’s jaw tightened. “I’ve sensed it too. But she doesn’t know everything, Lena. She doesn’t know your strength or ours.”Their bond was unspoken yet undeniable. And Lena couldn’

As Lena stood in the starry clearing, her pulse reverberated in the silence, her heart thumping. After word of Jarek's upcoming challenge traveled swiftly, an anxious clan throng had assembled, their features obscured by the darkness. There was a mixture of fear and excitement in every look and every utterance.The only thing keeping her grounded was Niko's solid hand, which was firmly grasping hers as though he were urging her to be brave. She could sense the tension behind the warmth and power in his palm. She would have to watch as he fought for her hand in marriage with the man she was being forced to consider.A tall man in the distance walked with deliberate steps. Jarek appeared out of the shadows, his face icy and unblinking, his eyes narrowing when they saw Niko beside her. There was a distinct gleam of possession in his eyes, his features were hardened, and his jaw was tightened with purpose.“So, this is the great Niko I’ve heard so much about,” he continued, his voice as c

Lena paced her quarters, the weight of her obligations and the latest disclosures weighing heavily on her thoughts. Even though the room seemed claustrophobic, she dared not leave because she felt like someone was watching her. Tangled in a web of obligation and expectation, she had started to feel like a prisoner in her own house. The silence was oppressive, nearly oppressive, until a soft knock pierced her mind.With a hint of fatigue and excitement in her voice, she said, "Come in." She was shocked to see Niko standing there when the door creaked open. His eyes were steady and familiar, yet there was a hint of something softer, almost vulnerable, in them now."I hope I'm not intruding," He said, as he entered and softly shut the door.Niko stood up as Lena shook her head and motioned for him to sit down. He folded his arms, leaned against the wall, and said, "You look… troubled.""It's not quite trouble," she replied, smiling slightly. "Niko, it's everything. I'm still putting ever

The atmosphere in the meeting hall felt like a powder keg as Lena gazed at Zara, whose battered body was proof of a violent confrontation. Zara's warning reverberated throughout the hall like a bell's toll. Lena's first instinct was to question her old mentor, but there was no denying the terror in Zara's eyes.Damon took a step forward, mistrust squinting his eyes. “You expect us to believe you after everything you’ve done? Why would we follow a warning from someone who nearly destroyed us?”Zara surveyed her surroundings, addressing each stare with a mixture of indignation and surrender. "Because you won't survive to see the next day if you don't. The leader I served is coming for us all, even though I know you have no reason to trust me. And he won’t stop until every one of you is dead.”Lena’s heart pounded as she studied Zara, searching for any hint of deception. There was a look of desperation there, something she’d never seen in her former mentor before. Against her better judg

Lena’s breath hitched as she took in the advancing figures clad in dark robes, their weapons drawn and gleaming under the moonlight. They were deadly silent, yet the weight of their intentions was deafening. With a quick glance at Zara, Lena saw her former mentor’s expression twist with a rare flash of fear.“Did you really think you could control them?” Lena whispered harshly, the anger in her voice barely concealed.Zara’s jaw tightened, her eyes flashing with a blend of defiance and shame. “I didn’t think they’d turn so quickly,” she muttered, casting her gaze away.With no other choice, the two women stood side by side, their long standing rivalry temporarily overshadowed by a more immediate threat. In that moment, Lena felt the sharp, bitter irony fighting alongside the very person who had brought her family to ruin. Yet here they were, two opposing forces now forced to battle as one.“We won’t survive if we keep at each other’s throats,” Lena said, her voice steady but firm. “Ca
