Evelyn’s POV

“Let’s play a game!” Nadia suddenly jumped up, cutting through the weird tension

“What kind of game?” Milo immediately played along, sliding his arm around her waist like it was the most natural thing in the world.

“Truth or Dare!” Her eyes lit up with mischief. “We haven’t played in forever, and m dying to hear about all the new friends Evie made at Sentinel camp.

“As long as we can keep drinking,” Elliot raised his glass. “This week’s been hell.”

“Perfect!” Nadia clapped her hands together. “Basic rules – losers get dared by the winners.”

“Why do I have a feeling this won’t be basic at all?” Sophia eyed her suspiciously

“Because you know me too well.” Nadia’s grin was pure evil. “So who wants to go first?”

“I’ll bite. Mark raised his hand. “Sophia, you lost. Dare time tell us about your first kiss.

Sophia rolled her eyes. “Seriously? That’s all you got? Fine. It was Mark himself.

“Wait, what?” I stared at them both.

“Don’t get any ideas,” Sophia waved dismissively. “This was right after we got our Sentinel marks. I was curious about the whole suppression thing, wanted to see what would happen if I tried to push through it.”

“And?” Nadia leaned forward eagerly.

“Like kissing a mannequin. Sophia laughed. “You know something’s happening, but there’s zero feeling. Completely bizarre.”

“That’s seriously depressing. Milo looked genuinely sympathetic. “Two whole years without any… you know?”

‘We’re all used to it by now.” Mark shrugged. “Missions require clear heads.”

The game kept rolling. When Orion’s turn came around, he looked straight at me something uncertain flickering in his eyes.

‘Evelyn, you’re up. His voice was careful. “Your dare is… tell everyone about your first kiss.”

Heat flooded my face instantly. Of all the questions…

That was…” I took a shaky breath. During the Pack lockdown. When you kissed he.”

‘WHAT?!’ Nadia practically shrieked. ‘Orion kissed you? When the hell did this ppen?’

“Hold up, Orion went pale as paper. “That was your first kiss?”

“Yeah.” I couldn’t meet his eyes. “I was always a total outcast at school, then I go the mark suppression the second I hit Sentinel training…

“Jesus Christ. He buried his face in his hands. I had no idea…

“It’s fine.” I rushed to reassure him. “You were helping me.”

‘Helping you? Sophia’s eyes went wide. ‘Okay, now I need details. What exactly went down?”

I saw what was in that box the Luna mark that had been ripped off someone. The memory still made me sick. I completely lost it. Orion kept trying to

get through to me, and finally…”

‘Finally I kissed her.” Orion’s voice was barely audible. ‘It was the only way to snap her out of it.”

Dead silence hit our little circle. The atmosphere turned awkward as hell, but Nadia quickly jumped in to save us.

“Alright, alright, moving on!” She clapped again. “Freya, you’re next!”

We kept playing, the mood gradually lightening back up. Everyone shared embarrassing stories and secrets, laughter filling the air again.

“You know what?” Cyrus pointed at me. “You’re getting off way too easy here. Come on, where are the juicy secrets?”

“Because my life’s boring as hell. I laughed. “Just training and missions.”

“Boring?” Freya raised an eyebrow. “I don’t think so. Remember when you nearly drowned half the training center?”

“That was an accident!” I protested.

Everyone cracked up, and I finally felt myself relaxing. Moments like this were gold – no missions, no danger, just hanging with friends.

Right when everything was perfect, a voice exploded in my head:

Border under attack! All warriors and Sentinels report to northern border immediate! Non-combatants evacuate now!

Sophia, Freya, Mark, Cyrus, and I shot to our feet like we’d been electrocuted.

“What’s wrong?” Magnus demanded.

“Northern border’s under attack.” I was already moving. “Mark, you and Sophia get out there now. Freya’s with me. Cyrus, stay here for communications and keep everyone linked.”

‘Copy that!’ They scattered into action.

“You guys need to alert your dads immediately.” I told the boys. “Northern border assault. Cyrus will give you details.”

Freya and I shifted without another word, racing toward the northern border.

The Sentinel mark’s range is incredible, I thought while running. Regular Pack members are still waiting for word to trickle down, but we got the alert instantly.

The battle was pure chaos when we arrived. At least a hundred wolves tearing in each other, snarls and howls echoing through the trees.

Freya and I dove right in. A rogue wolf lunged at me; I sidestepped and drove myrist into his ribs.

These guys fight like amateurs, I analyzed while dodging claws. Like a bunch of ramas thrown together.

Cyrus, we need eyes in the sky, I called through the link. This cant be the only fish

Already on it, he responded. Watch your backs something’s off.

He was right. These attackers had numbers but sucked at fighting. And I didn’t recognize any of them.

Freya’s scream cut through the noise. I spun to see two rogues on her, one’s clawraking across her head.

‘Freya!’

I finished my opponent and sprinted toward her, but Elliot’s wolf got there first. He threw himself between Freya and the attackers, going after both rogues

with brutal efficiency.
