Emma's small body rose from the chair, floating three feet above the ground. The crimson glow in her eyes intensified, casting red light across the tower room. Her voice, when she spoke again, carried the weight of centuries.

"You dare bind a child under my protection?" The Primordial's voice came from Emma's mouth, resonant and terrible. "You dare corrupt the gift I helped create?"

Anastasia stumbled backward, her confidence evaporating. "This is impossible. You can't possess someone. Primordi

    Emma's small body rose from the chair, floating three feet above the ground. The crimson glow in her eyes intensified, casting red light across the tower room. Her voice, when she spoke again, carried the weight of centuries."You dare bind a child under my protection?" The Primordial's voice came from Emma's mouth, resonant and terrible. "You dare corrupt the gift I helped create?"Anastasia stumbled backward, her confidence evaporating. "This is impossible. You can't possess someone. Primordials don't have that power.""You know nothing of what I can do." Emma's body turned, those crimson eyes fixing on each person in the room. "I have been patient. Watch your corruption spread. Allowed the Old Pack to play their games. But you crossed a line when you took us as human anymore, Stewart. We're something else. Something the world doesn't have a name for yet."Nadia appeared in the doorway. "It's time. Sienna's pack is moving into position. We need to reach the river entrance before her

    The war room at Nadia's compound was cramped with bodies. Stewart, Claire in human form wearing clothes Helen had provided, Nadia, Sienna with three of her strongest wolves, Strand checking his weapons, and Lily spreading her hand drawn map across the table. Danny stood on a chair to see better, his golden eyes studying details no one else could perceive."The fortress has three levels," Lily began, her voice steady despite visible trembling. "Ground level is barracks and training facilities. Second level is administrative, where they keep records and plan operations. Third level, underground, is where they perform bindings and keep hostages.""How many guards?" Strand asked, marking positions on a tactical overlay."Twenty rotating shifts. Ten on each shift. Plus Anastasia and Sarah, who are always there." Lily pointed to the underground level. "The binding chamber is here, in the center. Reinforced walls. Silver lined. Only two entrances, both heavily monitored.""Surveillance syste

    Stewart returned to Helen's house just before dawn, exhausted and bloodied. The Primordial's crystal pendant hung around his neck, warm against his skin, pulsing with gentle power. He needed to get it to Claire immediately.Helen met him at the door, her expression grim. "She's awake. And she's not alone."Stewart's blood went cold. "Who's with her?""Someone who claims to be her sister. Showed up an hour ago with proper identification and childhood photos. Says her name is Morgan."The name hit Stewart like a physical blow. Morgan. The same name Claire's fractured personality had used during the binding ritual. But Claire had never mentioned having a sister.He took the stairs three at a time, bursting into the bedroom. Claire sat on the bed, looking exhausted but alert. Beside her sat a woman who could have been Claire's twin. Same dark hair, same facial structure, same eyes. But where Claire radiated warmth despite her trauma, this woman felt cold. Calculating."Stewart," Claire sa

    Stewart and Nadia's pack ran through the night, moving with supernatural speed through forests and abandoned industrial zones. The coordinates led them north, away from the city, into wilderness where the supernatural world operated without human interference."How far?" Stewart asked, keeping pace with Nadia."Five miles. Maybe less." Nadia's amber eyes glowed in the darkness. "But Stewart, you need to understand something. If Sarah has the Primordial trapped, she's not alone. The Old Pack doesn't hunt Primordials with small numbers. She'll have twenty, maybe thirty warriors.""Then we're outnumbered.""Significantly." Nadia glanced at him. "But Primordials are nearly impossible to kill. The fact that he's calling for help means something worse is happening. They might be using binding magic. Trying to trap him rather than kill him.""Why would they trap a Primordial?""To study him. Extract his essence. Use his power to create stronger bindings." Nadia's expression darkened. "If the

    Stewart carried Claire through the broken streets, her body limp in his arms. She was unconscious now, her breathing shallow but steady. The interrupted binding ritual had drained her completely, leaving her vulnerable in ways that made his wolf pace restlessly.He couldn't go back to Strand's house. Sarah knew that location. The Old Pack would be watching it. He needed somewhere safe, somewhere unexpected. His phone buzzed. Strand."Stewart, where are you? I heard the explosion at the church. Police and fire are converging on the location.""I have Claire. She's alive but unconscious. I can't come back to your place. Sarah knows it.""Then go to the backup location. Margaret's sister runs a boarding house on the east side. 412 Maple Street. I'll call ahead. She'll be expecting you."Stewart changed direction, moving through alleys and side streets. His enhanced senses stayed on high alert, scanning for pursuit. But the streets were quiet. Too quiet. It felt wrong, like the calm befor

    Claire's massive white wolf form stood in the clearing for only a moment, silver eyes blazing with power that made every predator present instinctively back away. Then she turned and ran, disappearing into the forest with impossible speed."Claire, wait!" Stewart tried to follow, but Rowan blocked his path."Let her go," Rowan commanded. "She's unstable. The ritual broke the binding but didn't give her control. She's dangerous to everyone, including herself."Stewart's wolf surged forward, claws extending. "Get out of my way.""Or what? You'll fight me? You'll die, and then who protects your children?" Rowan's eyes flashed gold. "Your wife is gone, Stewart. Accept it."Anastasia recovered from her shock, screaming orders to her pack. "Find her! She cannot be allowed to escape!"The Old Pack scattered into the forest, hunting. Rowan's wolves followed. Within seconds, the clearing emptied, leaving only Stewart, Strand arriving from his position, and Sarah limping back in human form, blo
