Chapter 76: Ancient Warnings
Elder Iris POV
I touched the old book, and it caught fire right away.
Silver fire danced across the leather cover, making words appear and disappear like ghostly warnings. I jerked my wrinkled hands back. The book had been tucked away behind other books for seventy years, but tonight it was called to me.
"What are you trying to tell me?" I whispered to the pages that were on fire.
Three words were made out of flames: "THE BOND BREAKS."
My heart stopped. I knew what that meant without a doubt. Lily and Caleb’s mate link, the Triple Moon bond, was in great danger. But how? And why was this old book showing me now?
I grabbed my reading glasses with shaking fingers and leaned closer. The magical fire didn’t hurt the book. Instead, it was showing hidden text that had been invisible for ages. Words written in the old language, the one only the biggest wolves remembered.
"When Triple Moon breaks, shadow wakes," I read aloud, my voice shaking. "Seven generations shall pay the price. The first sacrifice opens the way. The last sacrifice closes it forever."
My blood turned to ice. Lily had already made the first sacrifice three weeks ago when she broke their mate bond to save the pack. According to this forecast, that wasn’t the end - it was just the beginning.
