Chapter: Tossed5.AuroraI tossed and turned about on my bed as the event of the day replayed in my mind.I shivered at the way Titan had flung the man off me like he weighed nothing more than paper. The man had lost consciousness instantly. Titan had held my hand and took me out of the place. I sighed as I remembered how I had shamelessly got aroused for him again just from holding hands.Whether he noticed or not, he didn't say anything to me.When I asked him what he was doing at the hotel, he had just looked at me like I was asking the wrong question, so I kept mute.Mother was in the living room when we returned. When she saw me, she knew that there was no way I would have returned that quickly if the man had succeeded in his motives. However, she didn't say anything. Probably because she saw me with Titan.And of course, I tried to please my saviour for the rest of the day. I took water to him, prepared food for him, and was on standby just in case he needed me. He hasn't said anything to me y

Chapter: Increased fear4.AuroraThe place Mother wanted me to follow her to happen to be a hotel at the downside of town. The place was so remote that even if someone was being murdered brutally, no one would know about it.The hair on my body rose, and I felt this urge to turn back and race off."Come on, hurry up now!" Mother yelled at me.I saw that I was a lot behind her and struggled to meet up with her. I didn't know what she planned but I could tell that whatever it was, it couldn't be good.We got to the reception of the hotel. Mother went straight to the receptionist and muttered something to the young lady who seemed to be around the same age as me. Her eyes flickered to me, and I saw something like a pity reflected in them.My fear increased, and I began to step back, ready to bolt. Mother must have gotten whatever kind of information she needed from the lady because she turned back to me. Her eyes pinned me with a hard stare, stopping me in my tracks, and she motioned for me to follow her. I li

Chapter: Gazes3.AuroraFor days after that, I did my best to make sure I steered cleared off the paths of the three brothers. For all it was worth, I could tell that they were doing the same with me.As usual, Mother made sure I worked until I almost dropped dead even in the new house. And of course, I made sure I stayed away from everybody, including the servants.It wasn't until long before they began to call me the cold queen even in the pack.That didn't bother me anyway. What was more important to me was staying out of trouble.I swiped over the surface I was cleaning once again. The place sparkled, and I smiled to myself for a job well done. I got up from my crouching position and stretched, only to see the three brothers all staring at me like hawks. I staggered backward a little from how hot the intensity of their gazes were.A small part of me told me that Titan must have told his brothers about our little encounter, and they must be here to see how true it was.My fears compounded when I

Chapter: Thankful2.Aurora.Thankfully, I managed to overcome yesterday's ordeal without getting on the wrong side of my mother. Now, we were on our way to the camp of the werewolves.I couldn't understand why my mother, a human, had decided to marry a supernatural man this time.Imagine my shock when I got to know that the werewolves that were supposed to exist only in fairytale truly exist? I couldn't help but think if demons, witches and wizards, dragons, and every other supposed fairytale beasts were, in fact, not just fairy-tale.I took my mind off it as I saw Alpha Townsend, the man my mother was marrying, walked into the large hall where the wedding and vow exchange was going to be taking place.Beside him were three men who looked identical yet different in their eyecolors and body builds.The first one was very handsome with his thick, silky black hair and deep blue eyes and broad shoulders. His eyes looked very cold as he regarded everyone in the room. Even I shivered from the intensity of t

Chapter: Aurora1.Aurora.Thirty minutes later, I was done with taking my bath and ready to start the day. I was currently walking down to the kitchen to fix something for myself to eat. As soon as I got to the kitchen, I winced to myself.Perhaps I was not ready to start the day as I thought that I was.I looked around as I saw many people running helter-skelter in preparation for the wedding that would be taking place the next day.Whose wedding? You might be wondering?It was the wedding of my mother. Oops, sorry, I meant the third wedding I've witnessed the woman going through in all my eighteen years of existence.I couldn't figure out, for the life of me, why the woman never stayed with a man. But I couldn't blame her since she was someone who lived and breathed for the sake of money alone.The rumour from the death of her last husband came to my mind, and I couldn't help but shudder that I was associated with this kind of woman. A woman who was rumoured to have been the one who killed the man

Chapter: The Final Eclipse Mara’s POV The sky above the Crescent pack was a burning canvas, the sun swallowed by shadows as the elder’s power twisted the natural light into an unnatural dusk. Every gust of wind carried whispers, threats, and the scent of fear. My heart pounded, my wolf snarling beneath my skin, thrumming with every pulse of danger. The pack was on high alert, but the unease ran deeper than simple caution. We were facing the ultimate reckoning. Dresden’s hand found mine, fingers tight, grounding me in the storm of chaos. His amber eyes were blazing with resolve, fury, and love, every glance a reminder of our bond, of everything we had fought for. “Mara,” he whispered, voice low, dangerous, “this ends today. No more shadows, no more lies. We finish this… together.” I nodded, feeling the surge of power ripple through me. My wolf roared, fierce and unyielding, every muscle coiled, every sense sharpened. We had prepared for this, trained for this, but nothing could have readied me for the elder’

Chapter: The Edge of shadows Mara’s POV The aftermath of the shadow attack left the pack house eerily silent. The once-bustling corridors were now lined with whispers of fear and exhaustion. Every pack member moved cautiously, wary of invisible eyes, of hidden threats. My wolf prowled beneath my skin, tense, restless, alert to every flicker of shadow. Even after the initial assault, I could feel the elder’s energy lingering, like smoke in the air—intangible, but suffocating. Dresden walked beside me, steady, unyielding, but I could see the strain behind his amber eyes. The attack had shaken him, perhaps more than he let on. I reached for his hand, intertwining our fingers, grounding both myself and him. “We need to know where he’s hiding,” I murmured, voice low, barely audible above the soft hum of tension that clung to the pack house. He nodded, jaw tight. “He’s fractured, but clever. He won’t attack openly again. He’ll strike where we least expect it, and he’ll exploit anything—any weakness. I can feel it.

Chapter: Fractured Shadows Mara’s POV The night air was heavy with the scent of scorched stone and lingering magic. Even after we escaped the vault, my wolf didn’t calm. The pulse beneath my skin was unrelenting, a steady reminder that the elder was not gone, only fragmented. Every instinct screamed that he was already plotting his next move, lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike when we were most vulnerable. Dresden walked beside me, silent but alert, amber eyes scanning the horizon. His grip on my hand was firm, grounding me, but I could feel the tension coiling in his muscles, the barely suppressed rage simmering beneath his calm exterior. We had survived the vault, yes, but at what cost? I swallowed hard, heart pounding. “Dresden… what if he comes back stronger? What if he… finds a way to control the pack from the shadows?” He stopped, pulling me close, his forehead resting against mine. “Then we’ll be ready. Mara, you’ve seen what we’re capable of together. Nothing can break this bond—not him, not

Chapter: Shadows of the partMara’s POV The air was thick with dust and heat, swirling like ghosts of the battle that had just ripped through the vault. My lungs burned, each inhale tasting of scorched stone and shadow, my claws still tingling from the energy I had unleashed. I sank to my knees, trembling, and the wolf inside me growled, still riding the adrenaline, still aware that the danger wasn’t truly gone. Dresden knelt beside me, his hand steady on my shoulder, grounding me. “You did it, Mara,” he murmured, amber eyes soft but alert. “You struck him at the core. That’s what matters.” I shook my head slowly, wolf snarling low in my chest. “Did I… really stop him? Or did I just delay the inevitable?” My voice was hoarse, but the question burned brighter than any pain I felt. Dresden’s jaw tightened. “No one can say for sure. But you faced him, Mara. You reached deeper than you ever have, and you survived. That counts for more than anything else.” I let out a shaky breath and felt him draw me into hi

Chapter: The vault's reckoning Mara’s POV The vault was trembling, a living thing now, responding to the presence of the shadowed elder as though it were his heartbeat made flesh. Dust choked the air, and the acrid scent of scorched stone clung to my skin. My wolf howled, vibrating inside me with the fury and anticipation that I could not control. Dresden’s hand remained tight on mine, grounding me, anchoring me in a storm I had never imagined could exist in this world—or any world. “I can feel him,” I whispered, teeth gritted, claws scraping against stone for balance as the fissures on the floor widened. “He’s not just retreating—he’s… he’s preparing.” Dresden’s amber eyes flared brighter in the dim light. “Yes. He’s evolving faster than we expected. Every strike we made, he adapted, learned, and now… he’s dangerous beyond anything we’ve faced.” His voice was calm but undercut with the tension that made my wolf purr and snarl at the same time. The shadows were everywhere now, creeping along walls and floors l

Chapter: The Edge of shadows Mara’s POV The air was thick with smoke, the scent of scorched stone and the tang of blood overwhelming my senses. Every nerve in my body was on fire, every heartbeat a drum of warning. My wolf surged beneath my skin, raw and untamed, her claws itching to tear, to defend, to annihilate. I could feel Dresden’s presence behind me, solid and unwavering, a shield that radiated strength, but even he was tense, his amber eyes burning as he tracked the shadowed elder’s movements with lethal precision. The vault quaked again, the stone floor cracking beneath the force of the elder’s attacks. Shadows rippled along the walls, moving as if alive, tendrils reaching for us, twisting and writhing, eager to consume. Daisy shrieked, ducking behind a shattered column, and I lunged forward, catching her shoulder and pulling her into my side. “We have to move, now!” I shouted, wolf snarling, fangs bared. My claws scraped against stone as I pushed us forward, every step an effort against the tremors
