Amber and Aldrake dragged Livia back to the Moonlight Pack. The moment they reached the pack grounds, Aldrake shoved her to the ground without hesitation.
Dust scattered as she landed hard, her palms scraping against the cold floor.
Amber immediately raised her hands, whispering a spell under her breath. A dark, shimmering barrier spread across the entire pack house, sealing it with a powerful enchantment.
A trap.
A fortress.
A place Aldus and the Elders would not breach easily.
"F*ck you!!!" Livia screamed, pushing herself up—but Amber cracked a whip made of pure darkness, striking her across the back.
Livia cried out, her body thrown several feet away by the force of Amber's magic.
Amber walked toward her with slow, taunting steps. With another flick of her wrist, the black smoke formed again into a whip, and she lashed it across Livia's body.
Livia raised her arms, summoning a shield around her. Light shimmered around her in a desperate barrier—but Amber only laughed.
