Chapter: Chapter 36The night hadn’t been kind to me, and morning felt worse.I hadn’t even made it two blocks from my building before I noticed them. Two men in dark coats standing near the bus stop. One of them leaned against the post, pretending to scroll through his phone. The other had his hands in his pockets, too casual like he was waiting for someone.I ignored them and kept walking. I told myself it was nothing.Then a van pulled up. Blacked out windows its door already sliding open. My heart skipped a beat.The man with the phone peeled off the post and stepped right into my path.“Elizabeth” He said my name like he already owned it. “You’ll come with us.”“No, thanks,” I muttered already backing up. My voice cracked halfway between sarcasm and panic.The second man’s hand shot out, his iron grip around my arm. I didn’t even get the chance to scream before a blur of muscle and shadow slamming into them. Lucien’s guards.Two hulk looking men in dark clothing stood before shielding me. One man

Chapter: Chapter 35 The night air clung to me as we left Elizabeth’s building. My chest heaved as I walked. Damien kept his silence but I could feel his eyes on me. Natasha’s words replayed in my head like a curse. Alex a wolf who had dared to bind himself to Lizzy, dared to reject her, dared to live afterward when rejection should have killed them both and now, if the witch spoke true,he’d found a way to remake that bond with another. But then again what did this mean. How could Lizzy have been his and now my wolf recognises her as ours. I've never heard of someone having two mates. If not for the witch having daid she'd verified it herself I would not have believed her, but she cares for Lizzy and I believe her words. But still I'd need to conduct my own investigation into the matter. I meeded to know everything given that she was also being targeted by the vampires. Everything seemed to tie back to this Alex. When the car doors shut and the driver pulled us away from the block, I finally spoke.

Chapter: Chapter 33Laughter flooded the room and every head snapped toward Natasha, who was on the floor laughing uncontrollably.Even I was puzzled by her sudden display. The tension in the air had been suffocating only moments ago, and now here she was, bent over, clutching her stomach.“Mate?” she wheezed through the laughter.“Lizzy, I thought you already had a mate.” She finally stood, brushing off her dress and smirking at me as though she’d just revealed the punchline of the century.“And so did I,” I replied dryly, though the corner of my mouth twitched despite the knot in my chest. “How many mates can one actually have? It’s like a reverse harem over here.”That jab got Lucien riled up, his jaw tightening as his golden eyes flared with restrained anger. But before he could lash out, Damien cut in, his tone clipped and cold.“There can only be one mate per individual,” Damien said firmly, like he was correcting a child. “But what do you mean she already has one…?”“My thoughts exactly,” Lucien

Chapter: Chapter 32Day had turned to night now and gratefully nothing had changed as of yet. My watch ticked toward midnight, and still we hadn’t seen the witch come out. I sat with Damien in the vehicle alert to any change that may happen, attentive to any danger that may threaten Elizabeth's safety.“She hasn’t come out yet,” he said finally, breaking the silence. “It’s been hours.”“I know.” My eyes didn’t leave the glow of her apartment windows, faint slivers of light passed through drawn curtains . “I wonder what it is they’re doing in there.”Damien shrugged, though the tension in his jaw betrayed him. “Talking, probably catching each other up on the latest gossip. Women tend to do that.”I almost smirked but didn’t. My gut wouldn’t let me, something about the night had been wrong from the beginning, and when that scream cut through the air. It was unmistakably Elizabeth’s, every muscle in my body went taut.I was out the door before Damien finished cursing under his breath, my boots hitting the

Chapter: Chapter 31The call went unanswered yet again.I frowned at my phone, Elizabeth’s name glowed back at me, then went dark. She always picked up, always and if she didn’t, she called me back within minutes. But last night she never did and this morning… still silence.Which is why I was now behind the wheel, headed toward her place.The closer I got, the more unsettled I felt. The sight of men in reflective jackets working by the roadside only deepened it. A massive tree lay across the road, splintered, dragged halfway aside, sawdust clouding the air. It didn’t look like a clean fall, it was as if something had pushed it overI slowed, my gut twisted, an accident? Maybe.But my instincts said otherwise.I backed up and took a side street, circling around until I reached her apartment complex. I eased into her lot, scanning automatically like I always did. Elizabeth’s car wasn’t in its usual spot. Which was odd. I hesitated, then parked there myself.The moment I stepped out, a prickle ran acro

Chapter: Into the lightThe moment we stepped out of the labyrinth, I thought my eyes were going to burn out of my skull. For days we had been trapped in darkness, running from death at every turn. The sunlight hit me like a hammer, blinding me, forcing me to lift a hand to shield my face. Around me, others groaned and squinted, blinking furiously as we adjusted.We were now back out in the open finally glad to be free from the humid stale air of the labyrinth. Tanaka led the way foward amd we all just followed.As we continued to walk I started to notice that the place was familiar that I'd been here before and that's when I saw the clearing from the night we sneaked out to watch the pack shift.“We're back at school” I said to Rina who looked at me and said “You hadn't noticed?" “It's not like I'm allowed to roam about these parts of the school grounds" I replied.“Good point" she replied.Then I heard it, clapping.At first, I thought my ears were playing tricks on me. After all the screaming, crashing

Chapter: The man beneath the beastThe entire chamber was silent now as the echoes of the witches’ incantations faded.Dust and the stench of blood still hung in the air and every breath felt heavier than the last. The Minotaur had collapsed in the center of the labyrinth, its enormous frame rose and fell slowly indicating that it still breathed.The glow of the altered spell still clung to its skin like threads of light, binding, then releasing, then binding again until it seemed to sink into the creature itself.Alex stood at the front, chest heaving, his hands shaking though he tried to clench them steady. He had been the one to speak it into existence, the truth that had shifted everything. It was never about killing the beast rather It was about freeing its soul and in recognizing that, they had given the monster, no the man inside it something far greater.The Minotaur’s ragged breathing filled the chamber. Then slowly, painfully the bulk of its body began to crack and shift. The horns that had once curled like w

Chapter: The Beast's Plea The chamber shuddered as the last fragments of the witches’ spell shattered. The Minotaur bellowed, the sound reverberating through the labyrinth like the groan of a collapsing mountain. Its massive frame rose to full height, muscles swollen with rage, stone dust rolling off its body. The cuts Damien had made to it's Achilles tendons already healing.For a breathless moment, none moved but then chaos erupted.The wolves were first, Tanaka gave a sharp growl, a signal and Ethan darted forward, his speed carrying him beneath the Minotaur’s guard. Claws flashed, raking across its side, but the creature barely flinched.Nathan followed, aiming higher leaping at its shoulders, but a sweep of the Minotaur’s arm sent him crashing into the stone floor. His cry cut short as he rolled, blood streaking his temple.“Hold the flanks!” Tanaka roared, diving in himself.The werecats slashed from the shadows, Malric and Jenric moving with uncanny precision, but even their speed faltered against th

Chapter: The Minotaur Tanaka had spoken to the other leaders, telling them of the plan. At first there were refusals, scoffs even but in the end everyone agreed. They had no other choice, if they wanted to survive this cursed labyrinth, they would have to bring the Minotaur down together.The duties were set, the wolves and cats would use their speed and strength to chain the beast, dragging it where it needed to be. Vampires would strike from the flanks while the witches prepared the binding spell. Everyone had a role and everyone had to play it perfectly.Alex’s stomach churned. He amd the other wolves had encountered it already as opposed to the others who had only glimpsed statues and murals. They had no idea of what was to come.In the distance, the scouting team waited in the dark of a narrow passage, pressed against the damp stone walls.“I hope this works,” One of the wolves said quietly.“It has to,” another answered, though they didn’t sound convinced.Then a third voice cut in, sharper: “Wai

Chapter: A plan formed They stepped closer to the mural. Torches guttered and threw light over the carved Minotaur. The thing on the wall was small in the comparison to the real thing. The mural depicted carving, the beast trapped under chains. Alex moved towards Kira and Sara. “How’s it been for you so far?” he asked Sara.She pulled her jacket tight, played it cool. “Challenging,” she said. “But nothing I can’t handle.”Alex snorted. “I've got the short straw on this one, I've encountered the Minotaur. The mural doesn’t do it justice.”Sara’s face changed a fraction “It’s much scarier?” she asked.“Indeed it is,” Alex said. “And it reeks of rotting flesh.”Kira glanced around the room, eyes on the mural, then back at the three of them. “Looks like we’re supposed to free it to get out,” she said. “That’s what this is pointing to.”“You think that’s the solution?” Alex asked.“Either we find a way to change it back,” Kira said, “legend says it was once a man cursed by the gods, or we free it from its lif

Chapter: Across the abyssThe chamber shuddered violently as stone ground against stone, the sound a roar in their ears as walls twisted and passages folded in on themselves. Dust rained from the ceiling, and the floor trembled underfoot. Claws scraped stone as people tried to find stability in the shaking chamber, spells lit the dark, and every faction drew tight in formation.“The maze is shifting again,” Selene said in a calm voice but Alex could see that she was just as shaken as he was.“No kidding,” Marcus muttered, bracing against the wall as another tremor rocked the ground as the passages changed and interlocked all around them.Then the floor split suddenly beneath them, jagged cracks racing outward. Then, with a sickening groan, the entire center of the chamber collapsed. Stone crumbled away, plunging into darkness that seemed endless. The pit yawned wide, swallowing the chamber’s heart.“What the hell now?” Ethan barked, fists clenching.From the abyss, slabs of stone began to rise. They hovered
