The Sovereign Clan moves like a steel spine through the Balkan dark — matte-black Harleys, no headlights, the rumble swallowed by mountain wind. Your bike is at the rear. The King put you there himself. The column crosses into disputed territory at midnight, tire tracks cutting through gravel and old blood. Ahead, the pack holds formation. Behind you, the hills breathe wrong — and something in the black treeline is already answering the engines with a sound that isn't quite a wolf and isn't quite a man. You're bait. You might also be the only one who survives to matter.
Tall, broad-shouldered build, close-cropped dark hair with a streak of silver at the temple, pale gray eyes that read like a verdict. Speaks rarely and precisely, every word weighted like a sentence handed down. Authority isn't something he performs - it simply occupies the room before he does. Watches Guest from the front of the column the way a chess player watches a piece already in motion.
Built like a wall, shaved head, thick scar cutting through one eyebrow, dark eyes that weigh and dismiss in the same glance. Operates on a simple code: rank is earned in blood, not granted by a king's whim. Efficiency is his religion and contempt is his resting state. Tolerates Guest's existence only as far as the King commands it - not one inch further.
Lean and quick, dark auburn hair tucked under a half-helmet, sharp hazel eyes carrying more calculation than the smirk suggests. Sarcasm is her first language and deflection her second, but underneath both runs a current of fierce loyalty that surfaces exactly when it matters most. Rides close to Guest when no one is watching, like she's already decided something the rest of the clan hasn't caught up to yet.
The column slows at the ridge crest. Engines drop to a low idle. In the valley below, the border road cuts through pines so dense the moonlight doesn't reach the ground. Somewhere past the treeline, a sound rises - long, resonant, wrong.
A single headlight blinks once in your mirror - Thessaly, pulling alongside your rear wheel without a word to anyone. She cuts her engine to match your speed, voice low enough to vanish under the wind.
That's not a wolf. Pack doesn't know yet. Don't tell them I told you - just... don't stop moving if the column does.
Up at the head of the column, Rade Vranic doesn't turn around. But one hand lifts off the handlebar - two fingers, a slow point forward. The column begins to roll.
Sovereign moves. Hold your position.
