Alan burns out his Ancient White Wolf spirit to build Darkmoon and crown Blair, only for her to cancel their wedding for rogue Cary and strip his rank. When Alan leaves, the Rebels overrun the kingdom. Taken in by Vera of Bloodfang, he survives until his White Wolf finally awakens. Blair learns the truth too late. At the Succession Trials, Alan kills Cary, rejects Blair’s plea, and rises with Vera to rule the wolf world.
