Chapter 10 

Ravenna raised her head, shock bleeding into rage. My dream everything I’ve crafted, every pattern I’ve woven into the moonweave for yearsand you expect me to just hand it over to her?” 

Raw defiance edged her voice. I refuse.” 

Valdrin’s power rippled through the chamber, a warning in the air. It’s a single ceremony

nothing more, winter faces death itself. This small comfort before the ritual would

deny her even that, sister?” 

Bitter laughter caught in Ravenna’s throat. How easily he dismissed her life’s work. As if years of dedication meant nothing before Winter’s whims. As if everything must bow to Winter’s desires

My heart isn’t enough?The words tasted like ashes. Must she claim my sacred craft as well?” 

A flicker of uncertainty crossed Valdrin’s face

Winter’s voice drifted through the stone walls, fragile as morning mist: If you refuse me thisI’ll reject the heart ritual entirely.” 

If death claims me without granting this one dreamA delicate pause. Then let it take 

me now.” 

Their father’s power surged as he rushed to her. Hush, precious one. You’ll have your wish.” 

He whirled on Ravenna, eyes blazing amber with Alpha authority: You WILL yield your place!” 

The Moon Gathering chose ME,Ravenna snarled back, her weakened wolf still showing teeth. My craft, my right!” 

Their father’s power turned deadly. She is your blood! Your own sister! Would you have her death stain your soul?” 

When Ravenna’s defiance held, he pulled out his power crystal, voice dropping to a lethal whisper: Perhaps watching your guild shatter will loosen your grip. I can have your crafthold torn apart before the moon rises.” 

The threat hit like a physical blow. This was her fatherwielding her deepest vulnerability 

like a blade

Valdrin’s voice carried false gentleness: Other ceremonies will come. Let her have this one.” 

Ravenna looked at them all mate, blood, pup a united front behind Winter. A broken laugh escaped her

Take it, then.” 

Her eyes met theirs, dead as winter frost. Does this satisfy the pack?” 

They turned to Winter, victorious

Only Ravenna remained, head thrown back, silent tears tracking down her face as the last 

ember of her spirit flickered and died
