LYRA'S POV
They materialized through dimensional spaces on a cold morning six weeks after divine intervention—twenty-three marked wolves who'd evacuated to preserve autonomy that the Moon Goddess had ultimately secured through means none of us could have predicted.
I sensed them before they fully manifested, consciousness existing across forty-one states detecting dimensional disturbances that preceded their arrival. The Goddess had provided them access to shadow-space travel, allowing movement beyond Council detection while territories adjusted to the new governance framework. Now they were using that divine gift to return home.
