POV: Mina (Age 18 - Dawn, Council Attack) I don't run. The alarms scream across the Academy grounds, students scrambling for defensive positions or simply fleeing, faculty shouting orders that no one follows, chaos spreading like wildfire. And I stand at the window of the Oracle chambers watching fifty Council hunters spread through the grounds with military precision, silver weapons glinting in the dawn light. Fifty trained killers versus one newly awakened Oracle who's had her power for less than twelve hours. The odds should terrify me. They don't. Through the bond I feel the Trio's immediate violent response. Their wolves surging forward with a need so overwhelming it drowns out everything else. Not a choice. Not a decision. Just absolute imperative. Protect mate. Jax is alrea
