Before the shadows came, Before the Veilborn crossed into their world.
There was power.
Ancient.
Controlled.
Absolute.
And at the center of it stood the Alpha King of the Obsidian Moon Pack.
The summons came just after sunrise.
A warrior approached Selene with his head lowered respectfully.
“The Alpha King requests their presence.”
The atmosphere shifted immediately.
Even Kael straightened slightly.
Rowan noticed.
“…Okay, that title alone sounds terrifying.”
Kael glanced at him.
“He is.”
Rowan swallowed.
“…Great.”
Adrian remained calm outwardly.
But he noticed it too.
The subtle shift in every wolf nearby.
Respect.
Instinct.
Submission.
Not forced.
Natural.
Which meant only one thing—
The Alpha King was powerful enough to command loyalty without demanding it.
