Chapter: chapter fifty seven: catch me if you can Aria……I smiled softly and nicked Kaelen's ear teasing him,“Catch me if you can, big guy.”He growled and I ran as fast as I could,head down, legs pumping. Instead of running down the pack house I decided to run toward the forest. I'll have an easier time losing him in there.I heard an ear-splitting roar sound from behind me and grinned, knowing his control had finally snapped. Ahead of me there was a grassy field, the border of the forest on the other side.I glanced behind and spotted Kaelen at the edge of the Forest standing, watching me with eyes that had turned black. I definitely didn’t imagine that, then. Every muscle was bulging, and he had an eerily calm expression on his face.Fear and anticipation clenched my gut as I realized he wastoying with me. Letting me get farther away before hunting me down. I had just unleashed a predator. Was i ready for this?Too late to turn back now.I ran faster toward the forest, scanning the trees for a low branch. He might be big an

Chapter: chapter fifty six: Strategy of wolves Aria’s POV The moon hung low over the camp, casting the clearing in a soft, silvery glow. Fires burned in tight circles, warriors gathered around them like moths to light, their faces grim but determined. The night smelled of steel, smoke, and wild resolve — the scent of wolves preparing for war.I stood beside Kaelen at the heart of the clearing, the map of our lands spread across a rough wooden table. Pins, lines, and notes marked every border and possible ambush point. Around us, the leaders of each allied pack stood waiting — Damien, Lyra, Kael, Matilda, and the new Alpha of the Red Hollow pack, the amber-eyed woman who’d arrived that morning.Kaelen’s voice was steady, commanding, every word laced with quiet authority that silenced even the most restless warrior. “The Evil King has divided his forces. Half of his army is holding the southern ridge — the other half is stationed at Blackmarsh, near the ruins of the old fortress. If we attack head-on, we’ll be crushed.”Lyra folded

Chapter: chapter fifty five: The rising moon Aria’s POV ....The morning broke with a pale silver light that seeped through the thin fabric of the tent. My eyelids fluttered open, and for the first time since my escape, I felt… still. Not healed, not whole — but still.The air smelled of pine and smoked meat drifting from the campfires. Warriors murmured outside, footsteps thudding, children crying, elders whispering. There was urgency everywhere. War was coming.But for now, I had a few breaths of quiet.I stretched slowly, wincing at the soreness that rippled down my spine. Matilda’s healing salves had worked wonders, but exhaustion had settled into my bones like frost. If I stayed still too long, I might fall apart. If I moved too fast, I’d crumble.Kaelen slipped into the tent just as I pulled on a clean tunic. His hair was damp, jaw clenched, eyes shadowed by the weight of the morning.“You’re awake,” he said softly, but the concern in his voice was sharp.“Yes,” I breathed.He crossed to me in two strides, his hands warm a

Chapter: chapter fifty four: The Luna's return Aria’s POV ……..The forest finally gave way to the familiar scent of home — pine, steel, and faint traces of magic that only existed around the Royal Pack’s borders because of me. My paws faltered when I saw the first torchlight.Home.The word ached in my chest. My legs trembled, exhaustion creeping through every vein. I shifted back to human form before crossing the final ridge. My skin was smeared with dirt, blood, and soot, my dress torn and clinging to me like second skin. But none of it mattered — because I could smell him.Kaelen.Warriors on patrol saw me and let out a howlThe scent of storm and frost and something deep, something that always found its way to my soul.I stepped into the clearing. Guards stiffened immediately, eyes widening as they recognized me.“Luna—” one whispered, voice cracking. “She’s alive.”Before I could respond, a howl broke through the camp. Loud. Raw. Familiar.Kaelen.He came through the shadows like a force of nature — eyes glowing molten gold,

Chapter: Chapter Fifty Three: The Moon's Wrath Aria’s POV....The moment dawn crept through the cracked walls of the dungeon, I was already awake. My body ached from the bruises Serena’s rage and bitterness had left, but pain no longer mattered. Not when I’d overheard what I did last night.The guards had spoken carelessly near my cell, boasting about the ritual — a blood offering under the Red Moon to strengthen the Evil King’s hold over the rogues. But what struck me most wasn’t the ritual itself… it was the name they’d whispered.Serena.Not as a servant. Not as a victim. But as his daughter.She was made from th dark magic and was sent to spy on us all this while.My heart had stopped in that instant. Serena — the one who had fought beside us,and betrayed us — was the Evil King’s blood. She hadn’t been corrupted by him. She’d always belonged to him.Now I understood everything. Her sudden loyalty, her cold smirk when she watched me beaten, the way the Evil King looked at her with approval instead of suspicion. It all made sens

Chapter: Chapter Fifty two: The Hollow Hunt Kaelen’s POV — .....The forest was silent. Too silent. The kind of silence that crushed your chest and filled your veins with dread.My wolf snarled restlessly beneath my skin, pacing, clawing, raging. Mate. Find her. She’s out there.I’d been hunting for days — nights, too. Sleep meant nothing now. Food was tasteless. The moon offered no light worth following. Every path we took, every trace we found, led to nothing but ashes and fading scents.Damien trailed behind me, his breath heavy, his eyes grim. “Kaelenl, you’ve been at this since dawn. You need to stop for a moment.”I turned on him, eyes flashing gold. “Stop? While she’s out there? While rogues drag her gods-know-where?” My voice broke mid-sentence, sharp and raw. “I can feel her, Damien. She’s hurting.”He looked at me the way one looks at someone breaking apart — helplessly. “And you think killing yourself out here will save her?”I didn’t answer. My fists clenched. I could still smell her faintly — that soft mix of moonf

Chapter: chapter forty nine: The truth Lily’s POV Andrew didn’t speak for a long time.I looked at our entwined hands.He stood in front of his mother’s grave the way a boy stands before a locked door—wanting to go in, terrified of what waits behind it. The breeze tugged at his hair, his suit, but he didn’t move. I waited, silently, not breathing, not wanting to break whatever was unraveling inside him.Then finally—“I should’ve protected her.”His voice cracked.Not the polished, controlled, ruthless tone I was used to.No.His voice broke.I stepped closer, but not too close. I didn’t want to scare him back into silence.He swallowed, staring at the marble. “My father… he destroyed her. Piece by piece. Day by day. He turned our house into a battlefield and her into a casualty.”His hands curled into fists at his sides.“I was twelve when I realized the bruises weren’t accidents. He used to push her, corner her, belittle her. And she’d smile at me afterward and say, ‘I’m clumsy, sweetheart.’”I felt my throat tighten.H

Chapter: chapter forty eight: I deserve the truth Lily’s POV...I woke up still tasting him on my tongue.No—God, no. Not him.Not Andrew Sterling.Not the Silver Mask.Not the man who had carried me over his shoulder like some barbarian and called it “saving me.”But still… my mood was lighter than it should’ve been.Lighter than the three weeks of hell should’ve allowed.I put on my outfit, tied my hair up, put on lip balm, and actually—ridiculously—smiled at myself in the elevator mirror.Work.Normalcy.Air.That was all I needed.When I walked into the office, Jenna lifted her eyebrows. “Why are you smiling like a girl who got kissed in a dark hallway?”“I’m not smiling,” I lied, keeping my voice steady and my cheeks cool. “I’m just… better.”She gave me a side-eye that could slice through my hair , I chuckled at the thought.I walked to my desk, settled my bag, and powered my computer, ready to pretend life wasn’t a storm of masked billionaires, toxic exes, and deep-voiced men who ruined my mental balance.It lasted exactly twe

Chapter: chapter forty seven: Almost sex Lily's pov…..“Go home Lily” Andrew says Instead of leaving, I pull to him and kiss him lightly on the mouth.He pulls me roughly through the door and pushes me up against the hard wall, closing the door behind us with his foot. The room’s almost completely dark, lit only by soft moonlight that spills in through a smallwindow high on the wall. The pounding of the dance music penetrates the door easily, but I hardly hear it. Every one of my senses zeroes in on Andrew.He stands close, his large bulk looming over me, tall and powerful.Taking my wrists, he pulls my hands up over my head, easily pining both to the wall with his left hand. I suppose I could struggle, but I only watch, letting him position me. I want what he wants.“Jesus, you look so fucking hot like this lily”l His confident smirk is barely visible in the darkness, but it melts me inside. Heruns his other hand along the line of my jaw, angling my face up towardshis. “Keep your ass touching the wall.”I press b

Chapter: Chapter forty six: Control Andrew’s POV ……The bass throbbed through my ribs the moment I stepped inside Obsidian. The neon lights flickered beneath the haze, bodies swaying in shadows, secrets moving between beats. Adrian was already waiting at our usual private booth, swirling a glass of something dark.I needed the noise.I needed the chaos.I needed something that wasn’t the suffocating silence inside my head.He raised an eyebrow as I slid into the booth. “You look like hell.”“Canada,” I muttered, leaning back, undoing the top button of my shirt. The leather couch felt cold against my spine. “And days without sleep.”He nodded, lips tightening. “You got what you needed?”“More than I expected.”Less than I wanted.Everything I didn’t know how to handle.Adrian watched me for a moment, and he didn’t push. He never pushed. That was the problem. Tonight, I needed a distraction before my brain ate itself alive.“So,” he said finally, “are you going to tell me what’s actually bothering you, or do I need to dra

Chapter: chapter forty five: The truth Andrew’s POV …The wheels of the plane hit the tarmac with a violent bounce, jerking me forward in my seat. I exhaled slowly, knuckles cracking as I flexed them. Eight hours awake, a corporate war brewing, Lily’s silence slicing at me, and now… this.Canada.Cold air slapped my face the moment I stepped out of the airport. A harsh, biting chill that cut cleaner than anything I’d felt in days—and it still felt gentler than her ignoring me. I shoved that thought down and focused on the one thing that mattered right now. Lucas.Adrian had given me an address scribbled on a folded sheet of paper. A small town outside Vancouver—quiet, remote, tucked into the side of a lake. The kind of place you go when you need to hide… or when the world has taken everything from you.The taxi ride took an hour. Snow powdered the ground. Pines stretched endlessly to either side of the narrow road. And with every curve the driver took, the pit in my stomach tightened.I didn’t know what I was expecting.A

Chapter: chapter forty four: knight in shining armor — Lily’s POVThe week had stretched like a bad dream.Andrew was gone.The office felt emptier than ever — quieter, colder, like even the walls missed his footsteps. For someone who claimed to hate chaos, he’d somehow managed to fill every corner of my day with it. Without him, time moved slower… and heavier.Ryan's constant prescence in the office did more harm than good, Andrew said he'll be back soon, this is like a week already.By Wednesday, my headaches had returned.So had my father.He’d shown up at my door uninvited, slouched against the frame, the familiar stench of cheap alcohol hanging around him like a curse.“Open up, Lily. Don’t act like you don’t hear me,” he slurred.I froze for a second before unlocking the door. The look in his eyes told me this wasn’t a reunion — it was a transaction.“Dad,” I whispered, stepping aside.He didn’t wait for permission. He pushed past me, taking in the living room with the same disdain he always carried.“You’ve been busy. Fancy apart
