AURORA

The roar of fire and stinging smell of smoke brought me abruptly awake.

Dane was up, tugging into his boots with speed and urgency.

“Stay here,” he said without looking round, the line of his mouth precluding further discussion of this.

I was hot on his heels in a matter of seconds, the chill of the night air biting through my thin robe.

The village square was ablaze with chaos as flames engulfed the western communal hall.

Wolves darted in every direction, some carrying buckets of water while others herded frightened pups and elders to safety.

Dane’s voice rose above the din, sharp and commanding.

“Form a line from the well! Move, move!

I saw Piper and Warrick near the edge of the mayhem, directing a group of younger wolves to safety.

Piper’s voice was firm but calm, her hand to the shoulder of a shaking boy.

Warrick, for once, seemed to follow her lead, without any trace of his usual banter.

“Keep moving!” Piper yelled, wheeling to Warrick. “We’ll come back to help once they’re safe.”

Warrick nodded, his face grim. “If they don’t hurry up, I’ll carry them all myself.”

Despite the urgency, their teamwork was smooth, and it brought a flicker of pride amid the chaos.

Trajan appeared beside me, his expression grim.

“Have you seen Rowan?” I asked, my voice tight.

Trajan shook his head. “Not yet. But if he’s anywhere near this, we’ll find him.”

A movement near the edge of the fire caught my eye.

My breath hitched as I saw Rowan standing there, his face. streaked with soot and his hands smeared with ash.

“Rowan!” I called out, moving toward him.

He froze, his eyes wide as if he had been caught doing something.
