Chapter: Chapter 43Ava and Collins arrived at Silver Bay Pack eventually. The summit had been more or less a success regardless of the few hiccups they had encountered. Ava never thought she’d actually see them there.Their carriage pulled into the palace and stopped at the entry. Collins got out of the carriage first before helping her out as well. She smiled at him in appreciation as she stepped down onto the ground.Her eyes trailed around the palace grounds and at the tall buildings that towered them. It felt good to be back home.“Finally.” Samos cracked his neck before stretching out his arms.“I thought that summit was going to last forever.” Ava joked.“You said it.” Samos blew out a breath.Collins smiled at the easy going conversation between them. He turned to the servants who had immediately gathere

Chapter: Chapter 42Logan blinked dumfounded at Fluer. Had he heard her correctly? Maybe there was something in his ears. Yeah. That was definitely it. He had misheard her.“What did you just say?” He stared at her intently, waiting on what her reply would be.“I’m pregnant.” Fluer repeated.Her eyes looked sore and red. She had probably been crying a lot. He was a bit perplexed by that fact. Normally, this would have been good enough news for her to be all happy and joyful. The Fluer that he was used to would have announced it throughout the pack that she was pregnant. So what was wrong with her now?As she was his betrothed, it wasn’t out of the ordinary that they’d gotten intimate often. Though he liked to make it something he didn’t get too used to. He had to make sure he didn’t get to attached to her. Try as she may, he didn’t love Fluer and

Chapter: Chapter 41The day had gone by before he even realized it and Logan was just about it. He wanted nothing more than to just collapse onto the bed. He’d veered away from approaching his father’s throne room. Call it fear or whatever you may but he preferred not to poke the lion’s tail. No doubt his father would have been angry about the way he had just left the summit. In his defense, he didn’t want to hear about the result of his mate getting knocked up by someone else. Someone that wasn’t him.He fell back on his bed with a sigh. It would be better to completely stay away from his father’s room. Better not to invite the Alpha’s rage with his own hands. He stared at the ceiling various thoughts running through his head.A knock on the door brought him out of the door. He raised his head, his eyes immediately narrowing at the door. Who could it be that would decide to disturb his peace at this moment? The knock came again after some time had passed and he let out an annoyed grunt. “A message my

Chapter: Chapter 40Logan should be used to waking up to a splitting headache by now. He really should be used to it already. Except he wasn’t. He let out a groan as he clutched his head, trying to will the pain back. Try as he may, he couldn’t push back the splitting headache that rocked through his head. He slowly blinked away the sleep. His eyes raked around the whole room. He was in his room. Funny enough, he didn’t even remember getting here. He begrudgingly got up from the bed and slowly made his way to the bathroom.He let out another sigh when he saw his reflection in the mirror. He looked like shit. More so than he normally did. His head hurt even more when he tries to recall the memories of what went on last night.Logan shook his head and splashed his face with some water before making his way back to his room. He sat on his bed and buried his head in his hands.“Fuck.” He muttered.He wished he could at least know why his head was hurting so much but the answer to that seemed implausible eve

Chapter: Chapter 39“I’m so sorry my lady. Forgive me my lady.” Fluer looked down at the man kneeling before her. She had a look of disgust in her eyes as she looked down at him. The man that had served as a Logan’s servant on the trip he’d taken a long while ago. He had been there with him that day. The day that he had been at that bar.Fluer had been restless since the day she’d tried confronting Logan about the woman he’d been searching far and wide for. She knew something was up, and she had been right about it after all. Standing before her was the man who had all the answers to her questions.“I don’t need apologies from you. I want you to give me an answer.”Fluer got up from her seat. She had brought him into her room and had him stand before her. She slowly paced around the man. She could already see him trembling slightly. He was scared. Good. That was actually what she wanted.“I asked you a question, Fenwick. Tell me everything that went down that day. Everything.” He remained silent, not g

Chapter: Chapter 38Eventually the summit had come to an end and most packs had started leaving. Collins took that as their sign to leave as well.“We’d better start heading home.” Collins pointed out to the near empty hall.Ava nodded her head to that thought. Collins reached out a hand to her and helped her up. He was being pretty careful when it came to her due to her condition. He already felt connected to that child and couldn’t fathom the thought of anything happening to her and the child.“Yeah, I’m beat.” Samos let out a yawn.They were still making their way outside when Ava was suddenly feeling pressed. She tapped on Collins’ shoulder to get his attention.“I have to use the bathroom.” She said to him.Collins nodded his head, understanding why she’d need to do so. He was about to offer to follow her when she spoke again.“You don’t have to come with me. I’ll be super quick I promise.” She sent him a small smile before pulling away from him and hurrying towards the bathroom.Once she was done r

Chapter: Chapter 148Dax POVWe moved through the trees like men carrying a secret. The lead box was heavy at my side, its faint hum a steady, small heart. Aya walked ahead, bow ready, eyes cutting the trail. We kept our voices low and our steps slow. The river narrowed behind us and the land weaved into older woods—trees that smelled of ash and old rain.Hollow Oak did not announce itself with a trumpet. It came like a bruise in the earth: the trees went thinner, the air tasted flat, and the ground underfoot was scarred with black lines. At first I thought it was just rot and old fires. Then I saw the stone.A fallen furnace leaned half-buried in vines. Its mouth gaped like a sleeping beast. Around it, the ground was cracked with long, silver lines—gnarled veins cut into rock and earth. Those same jagged sigils I had seen in the ledger flickered on the ash-streaked stones. The hair on my arms rose.Aya stopped and pushed a hand against her lips. “This is it,” she breathed. Her voice sounded small and car

Chapter: Chapter 147Riven POVThe road lay white and long beneath the noon sun, a pale ribbon cutting through low scrub and broken trees. Dust rose behind the convoy in slow, angry clouds. From the ridge, I watched them move: wagons creaking, men shifting on their mounts, the way Keira rode with a slim, guarded steadiness that made my teeth ache.Vayrek crouched beside me, cloak drawn tight, eyes like cold stone. “You’ll jump at the wrong moment,” he said, as if warning me from habit rather than care.“If I wait until the wrong moment, she dies,” I said.He considered that. “So you’ll throw yourself at a crowd.”“I’ll throw myself at the ones who matter.” My voice tasted of old iron and something like promise.We dropped down from the ridge in the heat, the beast beneath me moving slow so as not to kick up suspicion. Below, the convoy wound between low rock faces that would make a thief’s back the perfect place to hide. I’d watched the road for hours, learning its dips and shadows like a prayer. The pass

Chapter: Chapter 146Keira POVThe night smelled of smoke and singed flesh. Even with the fires low, the camp still hummed with restless voices. Men traded stories that grew bolder with every cup of wine. Children whispered beside pots. The whole place felt wired tight — one small spark away from snapping.I kept moving. Sleep didn’t come easy. My hands still trembled from the show. They had seen me. Not the small bits I showed in private, but the thing that bent flame like a wild animal at my call. The knowledge boiled under the skin of the camp now. It changed how people looked at me — not as someone to follow, but as something to use.Vera met me by the water trough before dawn, already awake and sharp as a blade. Thea was with her, rolling her shoulders like she would test them on the field. Nylo stayed near my feet, eyes wide and steady.“You look like hell,” Vera said, blunt and useless as comfort. She handed me a small cup of swamp tea. I drank. The warm bitterness grounded me a little.“We don’t h

Chapter: Chapter 145Riven’s POV The firelight painted the camp in red and gold. From the tree line, hidden among old pines, I watched the men gather shoulder to shoulder. They laughed, shouted, and knocked tankards together. The air smelled of cheap wine, sweat, and smoke. It felt tense—like something ready to explode.Keira stood in the middle.She held her shoulders straight and her chin up, but I could see the tightness in her jaw and the way her hands twitched. Nylo, her small fierce dog, stayed close to her heels, tail stiff and eyes bright. Vera and Thea stood by her, solid and dangerous. But even they could not hide her from the hundreds of eyes watching. The crowd looked hungry, curious, cruel.Kaden stood at the center. He lifted a hand, and the noise stopped as if someone had put a lid over it. He looked calm and heavy, like a statue. Behind him was Gavin, smiling like a fox, sure he had already won. Seeing Gavin made a hard, cold thing twist in my gut.I gripped my sword so tight my hand ache

Chapter: Chapter 144Keira POVWe returned to camp at dawn, blood still drying on our hands, the metallic tang clinging to my skin like a second shadow. The recruits dragged themselves across the yard, hollow-eyed and trembling, but alive. Every eye that landed on us weighed and measured—whispers trailing behind like smoke, curling and twisting into half-truths before they even reached the air. The camp was a beast, hungry for stories, and we had just fed it a feast.I kept my head high, my steps deliberate. Vera and Thea flanked me, silent pillars, their presence a steady anchor against the rising tide of scrutiny. Nylo padded at my heels, tail low, his thoughts thrumming warnings into the back of my mind. Too many eyes. Too many tongues. Be careful. His voice was a quiet growl, sharp and insistent, cutting through the fog of my exhaustion.The recruits peeled away one by one, collapsing near the bunks, their faces pale, their hands still shaking from the night’s ordeal. The torch-boy lingered longes

Chapter: Chapter 143Dax POVThe beast hit the soldiers like a boulder crashing down a ravine, unstoppable and merciless. One swipe of its massive paw shattered a man’s shield into splinters, the wood spraying like broken bones. Screams tore through the gulley, sharp and jagged, as soldiers stumbled over loose shale, their blades clattering uselessly against the stone. The air was thick with dust and the copper tang of blood, the ground trembling beneath the creature’s weight. Its fur shimmered unnaturally, laced with silver veins that pulsed like molten light, casting eerie shadows across the jagged walls of the gulley. No natural thing carried that glow. This was no mere beast—it was a forged wrongness, a walking blasphemy born from some unholy crucible.I ran before my mind could argue, my boots pounding the earth, each step jarring my poisoned lung. The beast’s stench hit me first—a rancid mix of rot and molten metal that clawed at my throat. My sword was already in hand, the worn leather grip slick w
