The rest of the prophecy was found just after midnight. Matthew found it. Of course he did. The Beta had refused to sleep, refused to leave the archives, and refused to stop digging until every sealed box, hidden drawer, and false shelf had been examined.

By the time he burst into the temporary command room with a stack of ancient documents under his arm, every Alpha present knew it was important. Matthew only ran when he found something worth running for.

    131 For the first month, the pregnancy had been easy to hide. Loose sweaters. Heavy jackets. A careful choice of clothing. Most wolves already suspected, but there was still enough uncertainty to keep anyone from saying anything publicly. By the second month… That became impossible. Werewolf pregnancies moved much faster than human ones. Five to six months from conception to birth. Twins moved even faster. Lotty stood in front of the bedroom mirror one morning, turning slightly to the side. Her hands rested naturally beneath the small curve of her stomach. There was no denying it anymore. She was showing. Not dramatically. But enough that every wolf in Dark Mountain would recognize exactly what it meant. She smiled softly. "Our boys." Behind her, Decker looked up from the chair where he was pulling on his boots. He crossed the room without saying a word. His hands settled gently over hers. "Our sons are making themselves known." She leaned back against his chest. "I think it's t

    130 By the time the Alphas left the regional retreat, the place no longer belonged to the council. Not really. A consolidated guard force remained behind. Warriors from every pack, working in rotating teams to watch over the council members, guard Elara, and protect the archives while every hidden record was copied, cataloged, and reviewed. No single pack controlled the evidence. That had been the final decision before departure. No more secrets held by one set of hands. No more sealed rooms. No more history buried where only the powerful could reach it. The ride back to Dark Mountain was quiet. Lotty leaned against Decker’s side, one hand resting over her stomach. Their sons. She still wasn’t used to thinking that. Sons. Two boys. Decker had barely let her out of arm’s reach since Alden told them. At first, she thought it was sweet. By the time they reached Dark Mountain territory, it was becoming a problem. “You know I can walk from the car to the packhouse,” she murmured when

    129 By morning, the summit no longer felt like a summit. It felt like the beginning of a trial. The Alphas gathered once more in the central hall, but the mood had changed. The old regional council members sat along the far wall under guard, not at the front of the room where they had once belonged. Their robes looked less official now. Less powerful. More like costumes. The prophecy pages sat copied and sealed in folders before every Alpha.The evidence of council manipulation sat beside them. No one could pretend anymore. Morgan was the first to speak. “The regional council cannot continue as it is.” No one looked surprised. Even Rasmus, seated with the remaining council members, closed his eyes as if he had expected the sentence. Malric leaned back in his chair. “You want to dissolve it.” Morgan’s gaze moved calmly to him. “I want to replace what has failed.” Calder gave a dry laugh. “Pretty words for the same thing.” “Then let me be clear,” Morgan said. “Yes. The current r

    128 The evening meal ended much differently than anyone would have expected when the summit first began. No shouting. No accusations. No threats of war. No council records slammed onto tables. Just tired wolves who had spent days uncovering secrets that stretched back decades. For one evening, the Alphas agreed to stop digging. The archives would still be there in the morning. The council would still be fracturing. Elara would still be under guard. The prophecy would still exist. Tonight, they needed a few hours to breathe. So the Alphas drifted toward the retreat's study while the Lunas disappeared into the moonlit gardens. Decker watched Lotty leave with Selene, Rowan's Luna, and several others. The sight still surprised him. A few months ago, Lotty had been an outsider to most of these wolves. Now the Lunas naturally gathered around her. Not because of the prophecy. Not because of the twins. Because they genuinely liked her. The thought settled warmly somewhere inside him. Un

    127 Alden waited until the meeting finally broke apart. The Alphas had questions. Dozens of them. Morgan wanted details about the prophecy. Matthew wanted sources. Tony wanted proof. Jacob wanted names. Helena wanted timelines. But Alden answered very few. Instead, he stood slowly from his chair, leaned on his walking stick, and looked directly at Decker. "I would like to speak with you and your mate. Alone." The room immediately grew suspicious. Decker's eyes narrowed. "No." Several wolves looked surprised by how quickly the answer came. Alden merely smiled. "I expected that." Lotty sighed. "Decker." "No." "Decker." The old Seer actually looked amused. "You are going to hear that word often in your future, Alpha." A few wolves hid smiles. Decker did not. "What information?" Alden's expression became serious. "Information intended specifically for the parents." That got everyone's attention. Especially Lotty's. Alden's gaze drifted toward her stomach. "I have waited a long

    126 The summit had changed. What had begun as a meeting to expose old agreements and hidden betrayals had become something much larger. The regional council was cracking. Not publicly. Not yet. But the fractures were there for anyone paying attention.Council members who had stood united two days ago now argued behind closed doors. Some demanded full transparency. Others wanted the archives sealed again. Several quietly denied knowing anything about the prophecy. A few were already discussing resignation. And somewhere among them, a wounded councilwoman named Elara sat under guard while the foundations of everything she had spent her life protecting slowly crumbled around her. The old order was breaking. Everyone could feel it. No one knew what would replace it. The Alphas had gathered once more in the main conference chamber. Not for a formal session. Just discussion. Trying to make sense of everything. Trying to fit together pieces that refused to cooperate. The completed proph

    101 Jacob didn’t sleep. He stood outside Varric’s cell long after the last torch burned low, long after the guards rotated twice, long after the rest of Silver Claw settled into uneasy quiet. Inside the cell, Varric sat slumped against the stone, wrists chained, face swollen and bloodied from hou

    100 The letters reached both Alphas before sunset. Not through servants. Not through council hands. Not through convenient channels where messages could be delayed, copied, or quietly buried. Directly. That was Decker’s order. And that was how the first crack became public enough that no one could

    99 Tomas found Ellis because Ellis was arrogant enough to keep doing the thing that made him useful. He picked up messages himself.Not every time. Not carelessly. But often enough. Often enough to prove he didn’t fully trust runners. Often enough to make him believe that if he controlled the fina

    98 Adam did not let the prisoner rest long. The wolf was dragged into Edgewater’s holding room still bleeding from the fight, his broken leg splinted only enough to keep him from passing out. Matthew stood behind him, arms crossed, eyes flat and furious. Adam sat across from him. Bandaged shoulde
