-Maya’s POV-


    The world erupted into a cacophony of snarls, growls, and the sickening thud of flesh on flesh. Alex’smand echoed in my ears, a death knell shatter

    Then, a cold realization washed over me, sharp and undeniable. This wasn’t a show of force, a fight for dominance. This was a massacre. Alex


    hadn’te here to negotiate peace; he’de here to destroy.


    A frantic voice broke through the haze of terror clouding my mind. “Amaya!” I whipped my head around, searching for the source of the shout. Relief


    flooded me as I saw Ivan pushing his way through the throng of fighting wolves, his face etched with concern.


    Instinct took over. I needed


    to find Natalia and Sarah, get them out of this madness. “Ivan,” I shouted, my voice barely audible over the growing chaos, “Natalia and


    Sarah! I need to find them!”


    He reached me, his grip firm as he pulled me towards a side door leading out of the hall. “We need to get you out of here first,” he yelled, his voice strain


    Panic gnawed at me. I understood his logic, the need to get me out of harm’s way. But I couldn’t just abandon them. “No! I can’t leave them!”


    “Amaya, this is not up for debate!” Ivan’s voice held a steely edge I hadn’t heard before. He grabbed my arm and began dragging me towards

    My eyes darted frantically around the hall, searching for any sign of Natalia or


    Sarah amidst the swirling mass of fur and fangs. Then, in the distance, I saw them. My father and Alex, locked in a vicious light, their wolf forms a tangle


    A primal scream ripped from my throat. They were going to kill each


    other. In that moment, everything else faded away- the chaos, the fear, the need to escape. All I saw was my father, the man who raised me even thoug


    everything, locked in a deadly struggle.


    Before Ivan could stop me, I ripped my arm free from his grasp and bolted towards them. “No!” he roared after me, but I was already in the desperate ne

    My sprint across the blood–slicked floor felt like running through an adrenaline–


    fueled dream. The snarls and growls intensified as I got closer, punctuated by the sickening crack


    of bone on bone. Each step felt like wading through mud, my breathing in ragged gasps that tore at my lungs.


    Just as I reached the outskirts of the fighting frenzy, a massive brown wolf, easily twice the size of any I’d ever seen, mmed into my father,


    sending him sprawling across the ground. My heart lurched, dread twisting in my gut.


    A strangled cry escaped my lips as I saw my father trying to scramble to his feet, his wolf form diminished, ragged gashes marking his gray fur. Suddenly


    tumbled across the floor in a whirlwind of snarling fury, the sound of teeth snapping and ws ripping echoing through the hall, my father forgotten.


    I


    wondered why Alex was helping my father but fear didn’t let me focus on it and it threatened to consume me, but something else, a flicker of my wolf with

    through the cage that had bound her in my head and I did the one thing I hadn’t done in four years.

    The transformation was instantaneous, a wave of searing pain followed by a rush of power surging through my body. My vision sharpened, the world nar

    me an advantage against his brute strength. We danced around each other, a deadly ballet on the blood–


    soaked floor. I darted in and out, nipping at his nks, trying to draw his attention away from the fight with Alex


    However, the wolf was no fool. He anticipated my attacks with surprising speed, his yellow eyes gleaming with predatory intelligence. Each missed attac

    Taking advantage of the distraction, I scrambled to my feet. My shoulder throbbed with pain, and blood dripped from the wound. But the adrenaline cours
