Chapter: Chapter 180 FLAME UNWRITTENPOV: Nya, Maera, Echo of the Realm.The Mountain Forest—Three Years LaterThe forest breathed around her.No fire. No shadows. Just morning dew and birdsong.Nya walked alone, a satchel slung loosely over one shoulder, her boots softened by pine needles. The trees rose like quiet sentinels, their trunks old, their leaves younger than memory.There was no trail here.And that was the point.She wasn't following.She

Chapter: Chapter 179THE RIVER REMEMBERSPOV: Nya (primary), Maera, The River, and the RealmThe River of Tongues—DawnIt was not the largest river in the realm.It did not thunder like the Glathian Falls, nor cut valleys like the Redwine Gorge. But none of those waters had a voice.The River of Tongues did.And it had not spoken in over a hundred years.Until now.Nya stood at the river's edge, cloaked not in silk or fire o

Chapter: Chapter 178FINAL TRIALPOV: Nya, Ceres, the Circle of FlamebearersThe Ember Veil—Before DawnThe stars above Ember Veil shimmered like a thousand unshed memories.Nya stood barefoot on the obsidian stones that once marked the entrance to the Flameblood sanctum. No sigils glowed. No braziers burned.Only silence.And her heartbeat.Ceres approached from behind; her steps were measured and deliberate. She held nothing in her hands—no crown, scroll, or binding cloth—only her gaze:

Her hand rested on the gatepost, where an inscription had been recently etched in soft amberglass.

Memory-heavy.Xavier stared down at the pair of swords laid across the stone altar before them—his and Ceres’s. Both had ended lives. Both had saved them. Both had nearly cost them the very future they were now trying to embrace.Ceres stood at his side, silent, wind tugging gently at the strands of her hair. Her eye

A warmth that pulsed behind her eyes and curled around her spine like an ancient lullaby.Her ears twitched. Her paws flexed.And then

Chapter: CHAPTER 86The Council’s VerdictThe chains were made of moonsteel.Elena felt them before she saw them — cold, humming, alive with suppression magic that crawled over her skin like frost. Each link pressed against her wrists and ankles, dampening her power, muting the fire that lived in her blood. Not extinguishing it. Never that. Only restraining it, like a beast held by fragile bars.The Council chamber loomed before her, carved from ancient stone and bone, its domed ceiling etched with symbols older than packs, older than alphas. Torches burned with pale blue flames, casting long shadows that twisted along the walls like watching spirits.She lifted her chin anyway.Fear would not save her. Submission would not spare her.The twins stirred inside her, uneasy — sensing danger, sensing judgment. Her hand pressed instinctively to her belly, and a low murmur rippled through the chamber.A warning.“Bring the Luna forward,” intoned the High Arbiter.Luna.The word still carried weight here, even

Chapter: CHAPTER 85The Shadow’s KissThe night had draped its velvet cloak over the pack territory, and the stars hung like distant lanterns in the black expanse. A cool breeze whispered through the trees, stirring the leaves and carrying with it the scent of pine and earth — the scent of home. Yet tonight, home felt foreign to Elena. Her heart was a battlefield of emotions, each beat echoing the chaos inside her.She stood alone on the cliff’s edge, gazing out across the sprawling forest below, the moon casting silver light that shimmered on the dew-kissed leaves. The twins, restless in her belly, moved with growing strength — a constant reminder of the responsibility she bore and the uncertain future looming before her.Zephyr’s voice broke the silence softly, like a promise carried on the wind.“Elena.”She turned slowly, her breath catching as she saw him step out from the shadows, his dark eyes shining with an intensity that pulled at something deep within her.“I shouldn’t be here,” she whispere

Chapter: CHAPTER 84The Alpha’s DesperationThe cold night air clung to my skin as I stood alone on the balcony, overlooking the dark forest that embraced the packhouse. The moon hung high, casting silver light over everything, but it did little to brighten the shadows of doubt and pain swirling inside me.Damien’s footsteps approached quietly behind me. My heart clenched—a storm of emotions rising at the sound of his presence. I didn’t turn around. Not yet. Not until I was ready to face the man who had torn me apart, and yet who still haunted my thoughts with the ghost of what we could have been.“Elena,” he said softly, his voice rough and trembling with an urgency I’d never heard before. “Please… hear me out.”I took a slow breath, forcing myself to stay steady. “Why should I listen now? After all the lies, the betrayals?”His voice cracked. “Because I’m broken without you. Because I know I destroyed everything, but I want to fix it. I want to protect you and the twins, to be the mate I promised I’d

Chapter: CHAPTER 83The Luna’s StandThe first scream tore through the night like a blade.Elena felt it in her bones before the sound reached her ears — a violent ripple through the bond she shared with the land, the pack, the moon itself. She rose from her seat abruptly, heart hammering, one hand flying instinctively to her swollen belly as power surged awake beneath her skin.Attack.The word echoed through her mind as torches flared along the outer walls. Wolves shifted mid-run, armor clanging, weapons drawn. The night erupted into chaos.“Elena!” someone shouted.But she was already moving.They came from the northern pass.Rogue wolves. Mercenaries. Packless killers drawn by rumors of a powerful Luna carrying twins destined to reshape the world. Elena reached the battlements just as the first wave hit.Blood splashed across the snow. Steel clashed against claws.And fear — raw, suffocating fear — rolled through the pack like smoke.She saw it in their eyes.They were waiting for Damien.Waiting fo

Chapter: CHAPTER 82Secrets in BloodThe moon hung low and full above the ancient clearing, its silver light filtering through the skeletal branches, casting long, eerie shadows on the frost-covered earth. The air was thick with anticipation—and dread.Elena stood at the center, her hands trembling but determined. Around her, the elders of the pack formed a solemn circle, their faces etched with worry and resolve. Tonight was no ordinary gathering. Tonight, the forbidden blood ritual would take place, a secret rite said to bind souls and reveal hidden truths.She glanced down at her swollen belly, feeling the twins’ subtle movements—one stirring restlessly, the other eerily still. The air around them pulsed faintly, a silent thrum of power that seemed to echo in her own veins.Zephyr stood close by, his gaze unwavering. Unlike Damien, who paced restlessly at the edge of the clearing, his jaw clenched tight, eyes shadowed with fury and fear. Both men were bound by the ritual, though for different reasons—

Chapter: CHAPTER 81The Betrayer ReturnsI felt him before I saw him.That cold prickle along my spine — the kind that didn’t belong to fear alone, but to memory. To blood. To betrayal long buried and never forgiven.The twins shifted inside me, restless. Uneasy. Something old had crossed into our territory.The war horns sounded just before dusk, their low, rolling calls echoing through the mountains. Wolves flooded the courtyard, weapons drawn, eyes sharp. Damien stood at the front, his presence commanding, lethal. Zephyr took position at my side without asking, his arm brushing mine in silent warning.“Stay behind me,” Zephyr murmured.I didn’t move.“I don’t hide anymore,” I said quietly.The gates creaked open.And then I saw him.Taller than I remembered. Leaner. His hair streaked with silver that wasn’t age but ambition. His eyes — sharp, calculating — flicked straight to me as if he’d known exactly where I would be standing.Kaelen Blackthorn.The name slammed into Damien like a blade. “You,” Da
