Selene stepped out of the pack house, her mind set on leaving as quickly as possible and making her way to the village without delay.

Her eyes drifted downward, landing on the gown she wore–a regal dress reserved solely for the Luna of the pack.

A deep unease settled in her chest. How could anyone bring themselves to burn an entire village to the ground? What about the people who lived there? Had they managed to escape? Her concern extended beyond the villagers–she worried for the safety of her pack members as well.

“We won’t make it there fast enough if we take the road. We have to run,” Axel said firmly.

Selene turned to look at her brother, who gave her a curt nod before shifting into his wolf form. In an instant, the high–ranking officials of Magnus followed suit, transforming alongside him. Magnus had brought a large force of Nightfall Pack warriors, prepared for battle after hearing rumors of an impending war with the rogues.

As soon as the wolves took off toward the village, Selene closed her eyes and willed herself to shift.

“I don’t feel well today,” Dominic, her wolf, spoke suddenly.

“Why? Kane needs us,” Selene responded, her eyes snapping open.

“I have a bad feeling about our mate,” Dominic admitted.

Selene’s breath hitched. An unsettling sensation crept through her, something unfamiliar yet undeniable. The mate bond felt… off.

“Is he in danger?” she asked urgently.

“I don’t know. I can’t connect with him.”

At Dominic’s response, a shiver ran down Selene’s spine. Without another second of hesitation, she let her wolf take over. Her gown tore apart as she shifted, and the enormous black wolf beneath surged forward. Her paws struck the earth with force as she bolted past the other wolves, leaving them

behind in mere moments.

A gnawing dread clawed at her insides. Something was terribly wrong.

She reached the village in under an hour. Even from a distance, she could see the inferno raging, its bright orange flames licking the sky. The homes of her pack members were engulfed in fire, the surrounding trees reduced to embers.

Skidding to a halt, her claws scraped against the ground. The devastation before her was staggering- everything was turning to ash. Emergency response teams were already on the scene, scrambling to

contain the fire.

“Don’t run into the flames, Selene!” Magnus’s voice echoed in her mind through their link.

But she didn’t listen.

She charged straight into the burning forest ahead, determined to find Kane and the others.

As she sprinted past the collapsing houses, her sharp gaze caught sight of villagers stumbling out,

some covered in burns. Medics from the pack hospital were working frantically to evacuate them. Relief flickered in her heart–they were getting people out

Then, beyond the village, her eyes locked onto the forest. There, a brutal battle raged Wolves tore into one another, their snarls and growls piercing the air. She inhaled sharply–the scent told her all the needed to know. Rogues.

“Storm was right,” she muttered, baring her teeth. Without hesitation, she lunged at the nearest rogue, tearing into the enemy ranks. The fight was in full swing, and soon, her brother joined her, standing by her side as they battled their foes.

Amid the chaos, she spotted Gamma Storm, fighting relentlessly. Other officials were engaged in combat as well–but Finn was missing. And then, a realization struck her like a blow to the chest

Kane wasn’t there.

The way the warriors fought, their aggression, their desperation–it spoke volumes.

Selene pushed through the battlefield, reaching St
