Chapter 63: Silver Fire
Omniscient POV
Lily’s Triple Moon mark burst like a star being born.
Silver fire exploded from her wrist and spread across her entire body, turning her into a blazing figure of pure light. The power was so intense that everyone in the Sacred Grove had to protect their eyes. Even Morrigan, floating in the air with her stolen wolf bonds, stumbled backward from the burning heat.
"What’s happening to her?" Caleb screamed, trying to reach Lily but unable to get close to the silver flames circling her.
Elder Iris’s voice was filled with awe and fear. "She’s burning herself out completely. Using every drop of Triple Moon power at once."
Around the world, wolves felt the change quickly. In a small house in Canada, a father suddenly remembered why he loved his daughter and pulled her into a fierce hug. In a hospital in Japan, a new mother looked down at her baby and felt overwhelming love fill her heart. In Germany, an elderly pair reached for each other’s hands as sixty years of memories came rushing back.
But for every link that snapped back into place, Lily grew dimmer.
"Stop!" Morrigan screamed from above. She tried to pull the links back under her control, but the silver fire was too strong. "Those bonds belong to me now!"
"They never belonged to you," Lily’s words echoed from within the flames, though her body was barely visible anymore. "Love can’t be bought. It can only be given freely."
The silver fire spread outward like ripples in a pond, touching every corrupted link Morrigan had tried to steal. Pack bonds snapped tight again. Mate connections blazed back to life. Family ties strengthened and glowed with fresh warmth.
Aiden gasped as he suddenly felt his brothers’ presence in his mind again. "Brock! Caleb! I can feel you both!"
