Caius's POV
The building shook as more of the Queen's puppet wolves poured in. I fought with vampire speed, my hands a blur as I snapped necks and tore out throats. These weren't true wolvesjust empty carriers. I felt no guilt.
Through the chaos, I watched Sienna and Ronan moving as one, their newly remembered bond making them dangerous. Fire danced from Sienna's fingers, her Ruby Wolf power burning brighter than I'd ever seen.
Kieran, still in wolf form, tore through foes with savage grace. For once, his curse seemed a blessing.
My phone vibrated in my pocket. In the middle of fighting, I almost ignored it. But the special tonethree short buzzesmade my dead heart skip.
The royal alarm signal.
I eliminated two more wolves and checked the screen.
Court under attack. Rebels led by Viktor. King wounded. Return quickly. Lyra
The words hit me like silver blades. Viktormy unclehad finally made his move. My father was hurt. My home burning.
