Chapter: Chapter 145: The EndDamien's pov….At first, there was nothing.No pain.No sound.No Louis.And somehow, that was worse than death.I didn’t know how long I drifted in that empty, endless dark. There was no body. No heartbeat. No breath. Nothing Then came the cold.It crept in slowly, wrapping around whatever remained of me, pulling me deeper into silence.So this is death, I thought distantly.No fire.No punishment.Just… nothing.Then something flickered.A sound, faint and broken like a scream Louis.The darkness cracked.Memory slammed back into me — the cave, her blade, my blade, her blood on my hands, her eyes when I stabbed her.My heart if I even had one — tightened with a grief so violent it felt like it could tear me apart.Louis, my mate.I tried to move toward her voice, but something held me in place. Thick and Heavy. Like chains made of shadow.And then—Light.Moonlight spilled across the void, pushing the darkness back inch by inch.A figure stepped through it.Tall and radiant.Terr

Chapter: Chapter 144: The hardest choiceLouis's pov…… I walked into the cave , it was dark and smelt like dust and blood. I followed Damien's scent, to a part of the cave . My fingers tightened around my blade as I moved deeper, my boots crunching over the loose gravel. Every step I took echoed too loudly. . The entrance light faded behind me until the shadows swallowed everything. “Damien,” I called. My voice cracked. Silence Then— A scrape of boot against stone. I froze. My wolf pressed forward inside me, restless. Afraid. Ready to fight. Ready to die. “Damien,” I tried again, softer now. “It’s me.” A figure stepped out of the deeper darkness And my heart shattered quietly inside my chest. His eyes were completely black. The darkness inside him had won. He looked perfect. Uninjured. Beautiful in that terrifying, untouchable way he had when he stood before the battle. But there was no warmth left in his face. No irritation. No sarcasm. No Damien. Only something ancient an

Chapter: Chapter 143: Forgive meLouis's pov…..I couldn't sleep, I couldn't even do anything, once I close my eyes all I see is Damien running away from me.He must be in so much pain, “Eliminate the vessel”I sighed and rubbed my eyes I walked out of my room to the pack, everywhere was silent, they all avoided Mt eyes and the healer's den was filled with severely injured wolves. I couldn't deal with their looks of pity and fear, I went back to my room.I sat on the edge of my bed long after the sun had fully risen, staring down at my hands.These hands had held him.These hands had fought him.These hands might have to end him.The thought should have broken me.It almost did.But beneath the grief, beneath the fear, beneath the crushing ache in my chest… something harder had begun to form.Resolve.I heard the moon goddess’s voice again, as clear as the night she spoke it.To end the darkness permanently… the vessel must be destroyed.I had refused then.I still hated the words now.But I had seen what th

Chapter: Chapter 142: The edge of darknessDamien's pov…..Louis was gone, she left the pack to attend to some urgent affairs and I was here alone. I couldn't wash our the guilt I felt no matter how hard I scrubbed I sat on the edge of my bed long after she’d left, my elbows on my knees, staring at the floor without really seeing it. The room felt too small. Too tight. Like the walls were slowly closing in.She knows something.The thought came suddenly My jaw clenched.No. She can’t.I told her it was a rogue. She believed me. She had to.But doubt crawled beneath my skin anyway, coiling around my ribs, tightening with every heartbeat.The darkness stirred.Whispers began at the edge of my mind.You’re lying to her.She’ll leave you.She should leave you.I pressed my palms hard against my temples.“Stop,” I muttered.The whispers only continued, louder than before You already killed one.You’ll kill more.You know you will.My breath came faster.I stood abruptly, pacing the length of the room like a caged animal.“Shut

Chapter: Chapter 141: Kill The vesselLouis's pov…….The moment I stepped into Aria's territory, I almost fainted, I felt so tired from running so fast there and from everything I was carrying in my mind. Guilt, fear and shock, I just hoped Aria had a solution for me. I was still stumbling in when a guard saw me “Alpha Louis?“ He greeted I bowed a little at him and dashed inside I walked into the pack, wolves were working, training, playing games, some waved to me politely and I waved back. I went to Aria's room and knocked She opened the door immediately “Louis” she said hugging me tightly “Aria there's something wrong" I told her my voice cracking She led me inside closing the door behind her “Where is Caelum?“ I asked “He followed his dad for a run”I smiled softly “Tell me what's wrong" “I accepted the mate bond, we mated but Damien still has the darkness, he killed someone” Her eyes widened “But it's not supposed to happen that way” “What do I do please, can I speak to the go

Chapter: Chapter 140: A WitnessLouis's pov……Something had been wrong all morning.I could feel it in my bones.Something was off.The bond between Damien and I was usually steady now—a gentle thread of awareness, warm and constant. I could feel when he was calm. When he was close by, When he was thinking of me.But this morning?It was like the thread had gone taut.Pulled too tight.I paused mid-step outside the council hall, pressing my fingers lightly to my chest.Damien?Nothing.No response. No familiar sense of him nearby.Only a faint, unsettling pressure. Like static under the skin.I turned slowly, scanning the pack grounds.He wasn’t near the training ring.He wasn’t by the healer’s shelter.He wasn’t near the children who usually gravitated toward him when he wasn’t trying to look intimidating.Where are you?A flicker of movement near the treeline caught my attention.I narrowed my eyes.Damien.He was walking quickly—no, not walking.Storming out of the training center.His shoulders were tense,his st

Chapter: Chapter 136: The EndEpilogue — Sophia’s POV……The morning light spilled through the tall windows of the bridal suite, soft and golden, like the day itself was showing its beauty.I stood barefoot on the plush rug, staring at my reflection.The woman looking back at me didn’t look broken.She didn’t look lost.She looked… whole.The dress clung gently to my body, ivory silk and lace, flowing instead of tight—elegant and beautiful.Lily had helped me pick it. She’d said it felt like me, and she was right.My hands trembled slightly as I pressed them to my stomach, breathing in, breathing out.Today, I was getting married.Not because I was running.Not because I was afraid to be alone.But because I had chosen love—again, bravely, after everything.A soft knock sounded at the door.“Come in,” I called.The door opened, and Lily stepped inside, She was wearing a pink dress with baby Ivory nestled against her shoulder. Andrew followed close behind, one hand resting protectively at Lily’s back.Seeing them l

Chapter: Chapter 135: Marry meSophia’s POV……The restaurant Adrian chose sat on the edge of the river, lights reflecting across the water like scattered stars. It was elegant without being intimidating—warm golden lighting, soft piano music drifting through the air, quiet laughter blending with the clink of glasses.It was romantic, and Intimate.Perfect.I smoothed my hands down the emerald dress for the hundredth time as I stepped out of the car, I felt nervous.Adrian was already there, standing by the entrance like he belonged in a magazine cover.He was wearing a black suit without a tie and the top button open.Effortlessly devastating.His eyes found mine instantly—and everything in his expression softened.For me.Always for me.“Wow,” he said quietly as I reached him.I raised an eyebrow. “Wow good or wow I should go back home and change?”He stepped closer, his hand settling at my waist like it had lived there forever. “Wow as in… I forgot how to breathe for a second.”Heat rushed to my cheeks.“Stop,” I

Chapter: Chapter 134: New beginningsSophia's pov…..Few months later….The morning sun spilled through the tall living room windows. Life was better, since I burned down Rick and the house and I had healed from the emotional drama, I was ready to start afresh. I held Lily's baby __Ivory I had kept my promise and named her.Ivory giggled in my arms, her tiny fingers gripping my dress as if I might disappear if she let go.“I’m not going anywhere,” I murmured, brushing a kiss against her soft cheek.She smelled like baby lotion and soft baby powder. I kissed her nose and she chuckled , I did it again and she laughed against, I smiled with tears as I remembered the baby I lost, holding Ivory healed something in me.“Say Mama,” I teased gently, bouncing her on my knee.From the couch, Lily snorted. “Don’t you dare. I carried her for nine months, Sophia.”I grinned. “Okay, okay. Say Aunty Sophia then.”Ivory babbled something that sounded like “Soooo-fia,” and I gasped dramatically.“Did you hear that?

Chapter: Chapter 133: Take my power back Sophia’s POV…….After Rick rushed out to get Lily, I was frozen in fear, all those gunshots, I could only cover my ears and cry.The heavy wooden door creaked open, and I froze. My heart had been hammering for what felt like hours, waiting, dreading, praying for someone to arrive.Then I saw him—Adrian.Everything else faded into a blur. The darkness of the room, the pain in my legs, the terror I’d felt for days—it all dissolved the moment he stepped inside. His eyes locked onto mine, fierce and soft at the same time, and he crossed the distance between us in two long strides.Before I could even process it, he wrapped me in his arms. My body melted into him, and tears that I hadn’t even realized I was holding back poured down my face.“I’m so sorry,” I whispered, my voice cracking.He shook his head, fingers threading into my hair, holding me closer. “Don’t apologize. You did everything right, Sophia. You survived. That’s what matters.”I buried my face against his chest and let the

Chapter: Chapter 132: Stubborn beautiful woman Lily’s POV…..I didn't want toesve Sophia, but one of us had to go get help. So I ran without thinking. My lungs burned, my legs ached, and every nerve in my body screamed that we were seconds away from being caught.The cold night air slapped my face, but I barely noticed. All I could hear was the pounding of my heart and the heavy thuds of Rick’s boots behind me. He was relentless. Every step he took made my stomach twist, and I knew, instinctively, that he wasn’t going to stop until one of us was dead.I kept on running and remembered something, my gun, I checked my blouse and luckily it was still there, I pulled it out and felt the familiar weight of the gun I’d hidden there earlier. My fingers closed around it.“Stop, Lily!” I heard him shout behind me.I didn’t.The psychopath even knew my name.I didn't stop running l, Not until I had enough space between us. I swerved behind an abandoned car, pressed my back against the cold metal, and raised the gun. My hands shook uncont

Chapter: Chapter 131: TeamworkSophia's pov…..Pain was the first thing I felt when I opened my eyes.All I felt these days were pain.I turned my head slowly, my entire body protesting, and saw Lily lying beside me on the cold basement floor. Her lashes fluttered. Her brow furrowed.Then her eyes opened. She looked lost and disoriented then she saw me “Sophia?“ She asked “Yes I'm here lily”She pushed herself up on her elbows, wincing slightly. “Okay, so… I officially hate basements.”Despite everything, a breathy laugh escaped me. It hurt to laugh, but I did it anyway. Because she was alive. Because she was here.“You fainted,” I said softly. “I thought… I thought he killed you.”Her expression sobered instantly. She reached for my hand and squeezed it gently. “Hey. I’m still here. And so are you.”We just looked at each other for a second, something unspoken passing between us. Then emotion crashed over me all at once.“I remember,” I blurted out.Her eyes widened. “You… what?”“I remember everything,” I

Chapter: Chapter Thirty eight: Divide the bedRafael’s POV…..The shower did nothing to calm me down, all I could think about was Isabella in the same room with me, and we have to sleep on the same bed.The water beat against my shoulders, hot enough to sting, but my mind refused to settle down.We were in Miami, there were cameras following us everywhere like some kind of reality show.The room next door filled with people who would sell a story, any story at all for a check. And Isabella—angry, and sharp-tongued, so beautiful in a way that made concentrating a problem.Fuck!!I shut off the water and grabbed a towel, wrapping it low around my waist.When I stepped back into the bedroom, I felt it immediately.Her gaze sharp on my body.Isabella sat on the armchair by the window, her beautiful legs crossed and her lhone abandoned in her lap. She wasn’t trying to be subtle. Her eyes tracked me openly, unapologetically, lingering just long enough to make a point of it, when j saw her eyes trailing to my crotch I almost took if m

Chapter: Chapter Thirty seven: MiamiIsabella’s POV……I definitely didn't plan to go to Miami, but hopefully it would be worth it.I packed my suitcase and it all felt surreal My suitcase lay open on the bed, half-filled with dresses I wasn’t sure I wanted to wear and shoes I didn’t feel like walking in.But I had to act and look like the perfect wife and the perfect heir of the Monroe family. Every outfit felt I packed felt like a costume it spoke of a perfect wife, perfect couple and a woman in control.None of them felt like me.I stared at the mess for a long moment before flopping down beside it with a groan.“Why is this even happening?” I muttered to myself.A soft knock sounded on the door before Aurora pushed it open without waiting for an answer.She leaned against the doorframe,her arms crossed, eyes flicking over the chaos on the bed . “You pack like you don't want to”“I live in exhaustion,” I replied. “There’s a difference.”She smirked and walked in, picking up a silk dress from the bed. “This one’s hot.

Chapter: Chapter Thirty six: Couple of the yearIsabella’s POV……We went back to the club, three jobless ladies on a job.The club looked different in daylight.It was less seductive and mysterious.Neon signs were off, the bass that once rattled my bones was replaced by a dull hum from the generators. The scent of alcohol still lingered in the air, stale and sharp, clinging to the walls it was a club after all.Vivienne walked ahead of us like she owned the place.Aurora was beside me, already in character her shoulders back, and chin lifted, lips curved into a seductive smile.She wore a fitted cream dress that hugged her curves like it was custom-made for distraction.And oh, she knew it.“Relax,” she murmured under her breath as we approached the front desk. “I’ve got this.”The manager looked up from his tablet, irritation flickering across his face — until his eyes landed on Aurora.Then irritation melted into interest i could see him ogling her, they fell for it everytime.“Well,” he said slowly, standing up, “Good afternoo

Chapter: Chapter Thirty five: Safe placeIsabella’s POV……I left my parent's house angry and I didn't want to go back home, so I went to Aurora's place. Aurora was the groups 's safe place she was always there for everyone, whenever we needed her help.It smelled like citrus candles and fresh coffee, the windows were wide open despite the afternoon heat. Music played softly in the background — something slow and moody — but even that couldn’t calm the storm rolling in my chest as I stepped inside.Vivienne was already there, she said she'll meet us there.She was perched on the arm of the couch, her long legs crossed, dressed like she’d walked straight out of a fashion show. Bold red lipstick. Sharp eyeliner. Confidence dripping off her like armor. She looked up the moment she saw me, her eyes narrowing.“Okay,” she said slowly. “Your face says we have someone to kill.”Aurora rose from the kitchen island, concern written all over her face. “Bella? What happened?”I dropped my bag by the door and sank onto the couch, sudd

Chapter: Chapter Thirty four: Make a choiceIsabella’s POV……I woke up early today, and went to the office to work on some files, I worked on the files I was supposed to and ignored Rafael the best I could.The sun hit my face as I stepped outside, I wanted to take a break and maybe go to the spa. I squinted, stopping short on the pavement, fingers tightening around my bag strap.Everything felt too sharp.My phone buzzed.I didn’t need to look at the screen to know who it was. My chest tightened anyway.Dad.I considered letting it ring. For a few seconds — long enough to imagine the peace of not answering — I actually did. Then the buzzing stopped.A second later, it rang again.I closed my eyes and answered.“Hello?”“Where are you?” His voice was clipped, already irritated, as though I’d inconvenienced him by existing.“At the office,” I said flatly. “I had to finish some files regarding the recent project” “And your husband?“ Irritation flashed on my face “He's not my husband ““That’s not important right now,” he s

Chapter: Chapter Thirty three: After effects Rafael’s POV…….The taste of Isabella on my tongue was something I wouldn't forget for the rest of my life. I wasn't supposed to do that, it wasn't part of the plan, we had just fourteen months together, two months were already gone. But when she came into my office like that, I couldn't resist her.I should have stopped it.That was the thought pounding through my head as the door slammed behind Isabella.The echo of it lingered in my office I had acted like a coward, and acted coldly after she just came all over my face and now she stormed out of my office boiling with rage.I stood there for a long moment, staring at nothing, my hands braced on the edge of my desk like the floor might tilt if I let go.Control.That was my thing.And I had lost it.Again, always with Isabella.I dragged a hand down my face, exhaling slowly. My pulse was still racing, anger and something far more dangerous tangled together in my chest. I hated that she could do that to me. Hated that she could
