the cracked earth a silent witness to the coming camage. Overhead, the crimson moon hung low, its unrelenting glow bathing the scene in an eerie light. It wasn’t just a symbol of our pack, it was a challenge, a promise etched in the heavens that we would fight to the last breath.
Our forces were gathering, a defiant line against the shadowed horde advancing in the distance. Warriors from Bloodmoon and our allied packs stood shoulder to shoulder, their armor glinting faintly, their weapons poised and ready. I could feel the weight of their determination, as if each bearbeat resonated with the rhythm of a war drum
From atop my horse, I scanned the horizon. Lorena’s army was a monstrous tide, snarling and shifting as if they couldn’t wait to sink their fangs into us. At the forefront, Lorena stood tall, her dark figure outlined by the glow of torches. Her calm, twisted smile made my stomach turn.
“She wants us to feel this.” I murmured.
Ramon, riding beside me, turned his gaze to

“The fear,” I replied, my voice steady. “She thrives on it. She thinks it will break us.”
“Well, she’s not going to get it, Ivy said sharply, riding up to my other side. Her green eyes burned with resolve, though I could see the faint tremor in her hands as she gripped her reins.

“Positions!” Ramon roared, his voice carrying over the field. Warriors moved into formation, their steps deliberate and precise. Silver blades glinted under the blood–red moon, each one a promise of resistance.
I dismounted my horse, my armor weighing heavy on my shoulders as I joined my brothers on the front lines. Wolf, Cade, Jed, and Seth flanked me, their postures tense but ready. Behind us, the triplets, Castiel, Craig, and Caleb Stood with their swords raised, their young faces grim with determination.
“Stay close.” I said firmly, looking each of them in the eye.
“We’re not leaving your side. Wolf replied, his tone resolute.

Lorena’s forces surged forward like a tidal wave, a snarling mass of claws and teeth. The first clash of metal rang out as our on, the sound tearing through the air like a scream.
My dagger found its first target, a wiry rogue who moved fast but not fast enough. I dodged his swipe and drove my blade into his side, the satisfying crunch of bone reverberating through my arm. He fell, but there was no time to stop, another took his place, and then another.
The world blurred into motion: strike, parry, dodge, attack. My muscles burned, my breaths came in gasps, but I couldn’t stop.
To my right, Ramon fought like a force of nature, his sword slicing through the enemy with terrifying precision, Ivy was a blur of movement, her daggers gleaming as she dared between rogues. Despite our efforts, the enemy kept coming.

Her smile widened, and with a sharp whistle, she signaled a second wave. My heart sank as more rogues poured from the shadows, their howls splitting the night.

Another rogue lunged at me, and I barely managed to block his strike. My vision blurred, the sounds of the battle muffled as I struggled to steady myself.

The transformation was immediate, a surge of power that tore through my body as my wolf form took over. My muscles elongated, my senses sharpened, and the pain dulled to a distant hum
When I opened my eyes, the world came into startling focus. The scents of blood and sweat were sharper, the sounds of the battle clearer. My claws dug into the earth, my teeth bared as I lunged at the nearest rogue.
The beast hesitated, startled by the sight of my wolf form. It was all the opening I needed. I pounced, my claws raking across his chest, my teeth sinking into his throat. He fell beneath me, and I turned to the next.
“Sonia” Ramon’s voice trailed off as he saw me.
“I’m fine,” I growled, my voice a low rumble in this form. “Focus on the fight.”
He nodded, his eyes gleaming with renewed determination.
