CHAPTER 33LONGER NIGHT.ELARA'S POV He slowly moved down to my legs, gently spreading them with his hands. His lips brushed against my skin, starting from my stomach and trailing down. I couldn't stop trembling. His eyes never left mine.Before I could take another breath, his full lips were right between my thighs. His tongue circled my clit, slow and warm.I gasped, searching for air.“Elijah, I can't breathe…”I whispered, my body shaking. I felt him smile against me, and it only made everything worse. Or better. I didn’t know. I just knew I was falling apart under his touch.My body trembled the moment his tongue touched my clit. He moved slowly at first, circling it like he had all the time in the world. My breath hitched. It felt like he was tasting every drop of me, savoring it like a starving wolf finally getting his prey.His left hand found my breast, kneading it softly, then firmer, like he knew exactly how to pull every sound from my lips. I moaned helplessly, lost in hi

CHAPTER 32ELARA'S POV USIt was night. Quiet. The only sound was the distant howl of wolves. The Alpha had ordered calm in the pack and hadn’t left his room since. No one spoke. Even the warriors moved with silence, their steps soft and slow.Rory still hadn’t woken up.My sister. Always sweet. Always selfless.A small smile broke on my lips, and then tears followed, falling fast.“I’m so sorry about your sister,”A soft voice spoke from behind me. I turned quickly. It was Mira, Alpha’s youngest mistress.“Thank you,” I said quietly, turning back to the moon.“We loved her,” she said.I nodded slowly. “I know.”She stepped closer and gently placed her hand over mine.“I wish she didn’t have to die that way…”“What?” I turned sharply, pulling my hand away from hers.“My sister isn’t dead.”“She’s been like this for three days. Everyone says she’s gone.”“And you think that means she’s dead?” I snapped, my voice hard.“You all hated Rory…”“You think I hated her?” Her voice shook a li

CHAPTER 31ELARA'S POVFEAR.“You killed my sister!”I screamed at Alpha Renzo. No one else dared to speak to him like that. But I didn’t care. I had waited for this moment. Waited to finally say it to his face.Rory lay still on the bed. Her eyes were pale, her chest barely rising. Ayla, that strange woman and Renzo’s sister, sat beside her, checking her like she understood anything.“She’s dead because of you!”I shouted even louder. My voice cracked as hot tears rolled down my cheeks.For a second, I saw it. Pain in Renzo’s eyes. Fear, even. But then it disappeared. Just like that.“You need to act like a wolf and stop screaming like a human.”He said it coldly and walked closer to Rory.“You can say that because you don’t know what it means to love someone.”I snapped back.He looked at me. His eyes were red, glowing like fire. But he said nothing. He just looked away.I turned back to Rory and knelt beside her. Her hand felt cold in mine. My heart ached. I didn’t understand why s

CHAPTER 30 The Challenge RENZO'S POV The night air was thick with tension. Every werewolf in the pack stood gathered in the clearing, their faces drawn with unease. The torches flickered, casting restless shadows over the assembled crowd. Zike stood at the center, shoulders squared, his gaze sweeping over them like he already owned them. "Our land is threatened," he declared, his voice ringing through the air. "Renzo can no longer protect us!" A murmur of agreement rippled through the pack. I clenched my jaw. "And you can?" I stepped forward, my voice steady. Zike smirked. "At least I won’t let our enemies walk right in. Or have you forgotten? The vampires came because of you." A growl rose from the crowd. My wolf stirred beneath my skin, ready to strike. "Watch your tongue, Zike," I warned. "You speak of betrayal, yet it was the witch who revealed the truth—you let them in." Zike’s expression didn’t falter. "Lies. I would never endanger my own pack." I glanced at Rory. Sh

Chapter 29FracturesRORY’S POVIt was late at night, and the castle was eerily silent except for the distant howls of wolves. The air was thick with the scent of damp stone and burning torches. Elara wasn’t in the room. I could hear Renzo humming softly from his chambers—calm, at ease, as if he hadn’t just tried to break me.A pang of something sharp twisted inside me. I shouldn’t let him control me. And yet, no matter how hard I tried, my wolf refused to obey me. She craved something I refused to name.I needed to clear my head.Pulling my cloak tighter, I wandered through the dimly lit halls until I reached the study.Inside, Ayla sat with Zike. She was laughing at something he said, her expression light and carefree. For a moment, I hesitated. It was rare to see Ayla so happy.Still, I stepped forward.“Hi,” I greeted, my voice careful.Zike’s expression soured instantly. He leaned back in his chair, regarding me with open distaste. “You should excuse yourself. This is a family di

CHAPTER 28TouchRENZO'S POVThe witch stood in my chambers, her face hidden under a dark hood. She smelled of earth and something old, something unnatural."You called for me, Alpha?" Her voice was rough, like dried leaves in the wind.I folded my arms. "I need a barrier around my pack. One that keeps everyone out—humans, vampires, anyone who doesn’t belong."She tilted her head, a slow smile spreading across her lips. "That kind of magic isn’t simple. It comes with a cost."I stepped forward. "Name it."She lifted a thin finger and traced strange symbols in the air. A heavy energy filled the room, raising the hairs on my arms. The walls seemed to breathe, shifting ever so slightly. Then, she stopped. Her eyes darkened, as if she had seen something terrible."Your brother," she whispered.A cold feeling settled in my chest. "What about him?"Her voice dropped lower. "He let them in. The vampires. The humans. Zike."The room felt smaller. Tighter. I clenched my fists as Rory sucked in
