~LeviThe moment Madeleine closed the door, leaving Gia and me alone, everything narrowed down to just us.I could feel her. Not just her presence, but the emotions underneath. Her confusion. Her hurt that hadn’t healed yet. Her careful hope. And deep under all of it, that stubborn piece of love she couldn’t push away no matter how hard she tried.“This is strange,” Gia said softly, her hand still on my cheek. “Feeling everything you feel. Knowing your emotions and mine at the same time.”“Strange,” I agreed. “But also… clear. You know I’m not lying. I can’t. Not with this.”“And that means I can’t either.” She stepped back, arms wrapping around herself. “Every doubt I have, every fear, every moment when I want to forgive you but can’t… you feel all of it.”“I do.” I stayed still, giving her space. “And you feel my guilt. My regret. How much I wish I could undo everything.”“Wishing doesn’t change anything.”“No. But maybe this bond can change what comes next.” I motioned between us.

~MadeleineI found Keegan three hours later.Garrett and I had been searching for him since dawn. He’d vanished from the medical wing sometime in the night, and no one had seen where he went.When he didn’t return by sunrise, worry set in. Keegan wasn’t the type to wander off, especially not with Levi still barely holding on.“The old temple,” Garrett had said. “If he went somewhere for… other methods, that’s the only place.”He was right.We found Keegan collapsed on the floor, breathing shallow. His hand was wrapped tight around Levi’s ring, still faintly warm. Like it was the family's heritage. He held it so tightly you'll never believe it wasn't his in the first place.I swept my eyes through the decadent building landing on the runes, etched on the stone, “He performed a ritual," I whispered. The evidence was clear as the fear was“He really did it.”“Did what?” Garrett checked Keegan’s pulse. His brows scrunched downwards. Never a good sign.“Broke the curse. He used Gia’s bloo

~KeeganThe battle was intense. I saw a couple of wolves who broke the arms of their chairs in excitement.Wolves need things to boil their blood. I sighed. Quickening my steps.And the result. I say it's no surprise. Honestly... for me it wasn't. Levi might not be as strong as he was but he's still an Alpha.That's something no one can deny. And on the ground right there he showed them that. When he pinned down Alan who could do nothing but flay his arms like a feeble chicken I scoffed.I would soon be there. He might have secured victory, but it clearly came with a cost The moon was full and blood-red when I made my way to the ancient temple.It sat at the edge of pack territory, half-hidden by vines and years of neglect. Most wolves had forgotten it existed. Those who remembered avoided it, uneasy about the old magic once practiced there.But I remembered. I’d trained here as a young priest, before the pack turned away from the old ways. Before magic became something to fear ins

~GiaWhen the morning came. I couldn't eat. Alan's trial was today. Precisely this morning of Alan’s trial.My stomach churned with anxiety. Not about testifying.I'd tell the truth, no matter how uncomfortable. Even though my throat will close up... But about everything else. The curse. The bond. The fact that I might be living on borrowed time.I wasn't so sure.I sat in my room, staring at blank paper, when an idea struck me.Bryce.He was still out there. Still waiting for the Blood Moon. Still planning whatever ritual he'd intended to use my blood for.And if he thought I was safe, if he thought I'd escaped back to some normal life, maybe he'd stop looking. Stop planning. Give us time to prepare for when he comes again.My hand moved on its own before I even realized, picking up the pen. I Scribbled.Bryce,I know you’re probably wondering where I went…Writing. Slowly at first, then faster.I crumpled one page. Then another.Finally, I settled into a version that felt right—naiv

~GiaI woke to moonlight falling across my bed.For a few seconds, I didn’t know where I was. My body ached everywhere. My side pulsed sharply with each breath. But even worse was the heaviness in my chest.Levi had used me. He had come to me knowing exactly what I was. Knowing what I could do for him. The bond I thought was fate’s kindness had been a choice he made. A plan. A goal.Fresh tears burned behind my eyes.“You’re awake.”I turned. Madeleine sat in a chair beside me. I hadn’t even noticed her.“How long?” My voice was rough.“About an hour. I wanted to check on you.” She stood, poured water, and handed it to me. “Here. Drink.”I did. My throat felt like sand. “What time is it?”“A little past midnight. Most wolves are asleep.” She settled back into her chair. “But there’s news. About Alan.”My fingers tightened around the cup. “What news?”“He’s been arrested. Charged with treason, poisoning Levi, and working with Bryce.” Madeleine’s tone was steady, but I saw the satisfact

~KeeganI stood outside Gia’s door long after she fell asleep, my chest heavy with guilt.She had every reason to be angry. Every reason to feel betrayed. By me, by Levi, by anyone who’d made choices for her and called it protection.I’d hurt my daughter while trying to shield her. Levi had hurt her while trying to save himself.And now she was left dealing with the damage we caused.Footsteps made me turn. Sarah, Levi’s healer, approached with worry in her eyes.“The Alpha is asking for you. He seems upset.”“Tell him I’ll be there soon.”She hesitated. “Healer Keegan… will Luna Gia be alright? Not physically, emotionally. She looked crushed.”“I don’t know.” The truth tasted bitter. “She’s endured more in a few weeks than most wolves do in a lifetime. And now the two men who should have protected her admitted they used her instead.”“The Alpha does love her,” Sarah whispered. “It’s obvious.”“Love that starts with lies still comes from lies.” I started toward Levi’s room. “Even if i

ALARIC.I have lost, but not completely. Gina did come to see me three nights ago, the night I saw her with that weird-looking man. I couldn’t hold it in, seeing my wife walking around with another man trying to protect her, from me. But I am her brother here, that’s what everyone thinks. After the incident with the man, I went back to my room, lit only by two candlesticks. It was dark and so were my thoughts. I waited for her to come just as she had promised and she did.A knock on the door got me flying to open the door and there she was, standing like she had done a perfect rehearsal on how to face me.I didn’t know how to react to seeing her with another man and I didn’t want to do anything wrong anymore. Legally, we are still married, unless it becomes a rumor that she was not Gina, she was Freya. I am getting used to knowing her to be both now. It’s not really all that bad and I might be the worst villain in all these.I wanted her back, I needed her. She didn’t look into my ey

ZACK.I cleared my throat and stood in front of Gina, I felt her heartbeat race the moment she saw the man standing in front of me. He was angry, visibly angry and his eyes were tearing me apart. Gina tugged on my shirt and asked that I not meddle with what was going on.“It is nothing, Zack. He is just my…” she looked at the man and I could swear I saw her suck in a tear. She was trying her best to act…normal.“It doesn’t matter who he is to you, Gina. Hold Kelvin tight. Let’s see, who are you?” I asked again, stepping closer to him. He was about my height but he did not hit the gym like I do. I tilted my head and waited for him to work his frustration out on me then I would be sure to cause a scene.“He is my brother, Zack,” Gina said but remained behind me.“I already said it doesn’t matter who he is to you. He is commanding so much in you. You were almost trembling and your heart raced when you saw him. You are holding back your tears and that is not fine by me. Tell me, is he abu

ALARIC.It’s been a few days and my heart still aches from not seeing Gina…Freya…I sank in my chair in my room right before the mirror. I can never get used to this. Have I done too much now? I don’t even run into her again. She doesn’t come to check me in my room and she never reaches out to me over the phone. Was it that simple to get over someone you have claimed to love?Diane had been a good friend of mine since we came here and I have been using her as a way to get back at Freya, she deserved it. Even though I would not be with her again, I wanted her to feel the pain.Somehow, I know I don’t want to see her with Rowan. Why would she get her life back after ruining mine? My Gina was gone and Freya could have killed her to use her body.But she came all the way to save me while I was in trouble. She probably did it for her interest. I need to see her very fast. I should let her know how worthless she is to me now, or maybe I just wanted to talk to her. She still has Gina’s body a

FREYABetween last night and this morning, there have been notable changes in the way I feel. I went back to my room and picked up my pouch bag. I didn’t know how the day was going to play out but I had a great feeling about it.I hurried back after taking the grey pouch bag and clipping it around my waist. When I got back to Rowan’s room, Beta James was already done with him and was heading outside. “Don’t forget to meet me in the evening, if you owe me one,” Beta James said with a wink. I didn’t know he was serious about meeting me, I thought it was a mere joke and it was all done and gone. I looked inside and saw that Rowan was also about to leave. “Gina, I hope you heard what I just said,” Beta James repeated and I nodded like my head was about to fly off my neck so he could leave me alone. He smiled and tapped my shoulder in a friendly way. I liked how vibrant he was when he was around me.I went inside and saw Kelvin already dressed. I had picked out the complete outfit befor

ROWANI could barely breathe, having her so close to me. Her eyes shimmered in the dark and those glowing eyes looked up at me, wanting, maybe. Oh, I really hoped she felt it too, all the emotions running through me. I couldn’t take it anymore. I leaned forward and closed my eyes raising her chin–“Papa!” Kelvin’s voice got me so scared, I immediately dismembered myself from Gina and gave her some space but it was already too late, the boy was looking up at me, at us, exchanging his glances with Gina and then looking back at me. “Papa?” He said with a lower voice and came to hide behind me, hugging my leg. His cheeks flushed and he was looking at Gina from the space between my legs.“Who is she? She is not Mama,” he said and peeped at Gina again. Gina seemed embarrassed a little bit but looking at Kelvin, her red cheeks disappeared and she was now cheerful, not embarrassed. I sighed and took Kelvin to my bed and tucked him in.“She is the new lady who is going to be taking care of yo

FREYA.Walking into the dining hall, I could feel everyone’s eyes on me, or perhaps I was just overthinking the situation. The chandeliers above glowed with golden light, casting a soft warmth over the tables filled with guests. Everything was perfect—perfectly orchestrated, perfectly beautiful, perfectly suffocating.Again, this is where I grew up and I used to be the mother of the pack. I used to enjoy the songs and the dances whenever it was time for dinner. I always dreamt of staying here with my children and making them learn to blow a flute before they grow too old and seek lives of their own.But those were just dreams, weren’t they? Dreams that would never come true. My legacy would never be passed.I glanced around the room, searching for something familiar, something that would make me feel less like I was drowning in a sea of people who didn’t even know me and at the same time, knew me very well. Then I saw him—Rowan. For a moment, a flicker of hope shot through me, a remi
