Book 5: "Chains of the Demon King""

Summary
Riley endures life under Ravok's oppressive rule, driven by her need to protect her young pup, Kael. Constantly under the watchful eye of Kalthor, Ravok's menacing guard wolf, she suppresses her defiance, fully submitting to ensure Kael's safety. Ravok demands her complete loyalty, threatening Kael to maintain control. Despite her outward compliance, Riley secretly holds onto a flicker of hope and resolve to resist.

Her struggles intensify with the birth of her second pup, a fragile spark of life in the shadow of Ravok's tyranny. The labor is harrowing, taking place under Kalthor's cold supervision as Ravok ensures she remains under his control even in this vulnerable moment. Despite the bleakness of her circumstances, Riley's heart swells with fierce love for her newborn, whom she names Daemon. The child becomes another source of strength, a reason to endure and fight for the freedom of her family.

As Ravok's power grows and the war between wolves and demons devastates the land, he commands Riley to lead her pack into his army, a choice that forces her to betray her people or risk both Kael's and Daemon's lives. Though crushed by the weight of her decision, Riley vows to fight back when the time comes, willing to sacrifice everything for her pups, her pack, and their freedom.
