Nobody moved after that, the pages continued turning on their own.

The sound of the pages was almost gentle, yet it filled the entire sanctuary. Every soft rustle echoed through the chamber until it was impossible to tell whether it came from the Codex or from the darkness itself.

Rynese was the first to take a step back. "I don't like this."

No one laughed, not even Valkyrie.

Kael stood perfectly still, his eyes fixed on the open book. The silver in his irises had become strangely bright, ref

    The pages stopped turning just like that.The soft rustling faded until the sanctuary was silent again, leaving only the distant roar of the underground river.No one spoke. Zara stared at the Codex, unable to shake the feeling that it was alive.Kael stepped out from behind the pillar first. He didn't go straight to the pedestal, instead, he walked to the entrance of the sanctuary and listened until he was sure the two Belmar guards had gone."They're gone," he said quietly, "but just for now"Rynese finally let out the breath he'd been holding. "I honestly thought one of them was going to turn around.""So did I," Zara admitted."They were close enough to hear us breathe."Valkyrie crossed the room and relit the lantern, warm light spread across the chamber once more, chasing away the shadows."We don't have much time," she said. "If those men report back to Eveline, she'll know someone else is down here."Kael nodded."Then we find out why Wisteria took the first page before they re

    Nobody moved after that, the pages continued turning on their own.The sound of the pages was almost gentle, yet it filled the entire sanctuary. Every soft rustle echoed through the chamber until it was impossible to tell whether it came from the Codex or from the darkness itself.Rynese was the first to take a step back. "I don't like this."No one laughed, not even Valkyrie.Kael stood perfectly still, his eyes fixed on the open book. The silver in his irises had become strangely bright, reflecting the pale glow that now seeped from the pages.Zara looked at him before she looked at the Codex, he wasn't blinking."Kael."There was no response. She reached for his hand, the moment their fingers touched, he flinched as though waking from a dream."What happened?" he asked."You were staring into space.""At what?""The Codex."He frowned. "I don't remember staring into it."A knot formed in Zara's stomach because he genuinely didn't remember.* * * * * *The glow faded eoon after it

    No one spoke, not after what they had just seen.Zara couldn't take her eyes off the words carved into the stone.*Don't trust the voice.*She traced the letters again with her fingertips. The grooves were still rough around the edges."They're fresh," she murmured.Valkyrie crouched beside her, examining the carving more closely. "I'd say less than a day."Rynese looked from the message to Kael."So... Wisteria knew about the whispers?"Kael didn't answer, he was still staring at the chained book in the center of the sanctuary. His expression was unreadable but Zara noticed something the others didn't.His jaw was clenched so tightly that the muscles in his neck stood out beneath his skin.She walked over quietly. "Kael."He didn't respond to her, she touched his arm. Only then did he seem to return to himself."What?" He said, turning to look at her. "You drifted."He frowned a bit. "For how long?"She hesitated before speaking. "Long enough that I had to call your name twice."Hi

    The climb ended on a narrow ledge carved into the cliffside.One by one, they dropped onto solid ground, boots scraping against damp stone. The roar of the underground river filled the cavern, loud enough that they had to stand close to hear one another.Zara wiped the moisture from her face and looked up, the doors were even larger from this angle.They had been cut directly into the rock, their surface worn smooth by centuries of dripping water. Moss clung to the edges, and pale roots snaked across the stone like veins, no symbols covered these doors or grand carvings.Only a single crescent moon sat in the center, it was so weathered that it was almost invisible.For the first time since entering the tunnels, Kael looked uncertain."I've never seen anything this old," he admitted.Valkyrie stepped forward, running her fingers along the stone. "It predates the northern kingdoms.""How can you tell?""The tool marks." She pointed to the edges, "They're different."Rynese leaned close

    Kael's hand tightened around the hilt of his sword. His expression remained calm, but Zara noticed the subtle shift in his posture. He was listening, looking at the distance, trying to determine how much time they had."How many?" Rynese asked quietly."Too early to tell," Kael replied.Valkyrie walked to the entrance of the chamber and knelt beside the stone floor, her fingers brushed lightly over the dust."They're moving fast."She looked up. "At least six."Rynese sighed."I was hoping you'd say two.""I know... I know.""He gave a weak smile. "I appreciate your honesty, even when I hate it."Despite everything, Valkyrie's lips curved into a small smile."We don't have time." Kael said, crossing back to the pedestal one last time, scanning every inch of it."If this wasn't the real vault, then whoever came here was searching just like we are searching."Zara frowned. "But Lady Eveline left with something.""The pendant proves she was here." He said, still examining the vault."Eve

    No one spoke as they approached the bridge.The underground river flowed silently beneath them, black as ink and smooth enough to reflect the faint glow of the crystals overhead. Zara glanced down only once before looking away, there was something unsettling about the water. It wasn't just dark, it felt bottomless.Kael stepped onto the bridge first, the old stone didn't creak beneath his weight instead, it held his weight on it. One by one, the others followed behind himRynese looked over the edge and frowned. "I can't even see the bottom.""I don't think we're supposed to," Valkyrie replied."That's good.""There's nothing good about this."Despite himself, Rynese chuckled softly.The sound eased some of the tension that had settled over them since leaving Wisteria's hidden room. When they reached the other side, everyone stopped. Up close, the doors looked even larger.They stretched nearly twenty feet high, carved from a single slab of gray stone. Of the details on it has faded o

    Kael ran as fast as he possibly could. For a Lycan, that meant faster than the speed of light.Zara was still hurt from the former battle, and her exhausted body gave out midway through their escape. He had no choice but to carry her on his back to avoid losing any more time.She was slipping in an

    Her knees gave out beneath her.Zara collapsed hard into the blood-soaked dirt.No.No, this could not be real.The world around her became muffled and distant. The survivors blurred together into meaningless shapes while the mutilated body before her remained horrifyingly clear.Alpha Tyrone stepp

    Zara closed the book abruptly when she couldn't take it any more. She struggled to keep her emotions in check but her frail heart betrayed her. She kept the book back in place, knowing it was fate that had made her to come across the book. She stormed back into the chamber beneath the Moonstone Pa

    "Have you lost your damn mind, Zara?!" Denice screamed at the top of her lungs. She had been awakened rudely that morning by low groans that seemed to be coming from Zara. The deep graons didn't sound lady like and Denice had to quit her sleep to find the source of the endless groans that kept her
