Chapter: Chapter Hundred and Five: Into the darknessDamien’s POV(Years Later)Power changes how people look at you.As a boy, they looked at me like I was dangerous.As a man, they looked at me like I was necessary.Alpha Damien.War leader.Executioner.The wolf who never hesitated.They never knew the truth—that I was still that terrified boy by the river, scrubbing blood from his hands and begging the night to swallow him whole.I learned early how to survive.Control the narrative.Control the fear.Control everyone else—before they controlled you.By the time I met Serena, I was already half hollow.I first saw her at a border gathering.She wasn’t loud. She didn’t fight for attention. She stood just behind the others, draped in dark red, eyes sharp and assessing like she was measuring souls rather than wolves.She felt… familiar.Not comforting.Not safe.Familiar in the way a wound feels when you press on it too hard.My wolf stirred uneasily.Danger, it warned.I ignored it.I always did.She noticed me staring and smiled—not

Chapter: Chapter Hundred and four: Killing the AlphaDamien’s POV……(Years Ago)I was seven years old when I learned that strength could be a curse.The night smells like rain and iron. Even now, years later, I remember it too clearly—the way the wind rattled the wooden shutters, the way the hearth fire flickered low, the way my mother’s breathing came in short, terrified gasps.I was awake because I was always awake.Because when your house is quiet for too long, you learn that quiet is only the breath before the storm.My father’s voice cuts through the walls like a blade.“Don’t look at me like that.”The sound of something shattering follows. Clay. A bowl. Maybe the cup my mother treasured because it was the only thing her own mother left behind.Then her voice.Soft. Pleading.“Please. Your son is sleeping.”I press my hands over my ears.It never helps.Footsteps thunder across the floorboards. A sharp crack—skin against skin. My mother cries out, and something inside my chest twists so hard I can’t breathe.My father, the most f

Chapter: Chapter Hundred and Two: The EndAria’s POV…..The dawn arrives slowly, as if the world itself wants to savor this day.I wake before the bells ring, before the palace stirs, before the pack gathers beneath the great silver banners. Caelum is already awake in my arms, his dark eyes following the shifting light that spills through the windows. He makes a soft sound—curious, thoughtful, far too wise for someone so small.Today, the world will know his name.Today, my son will be dedicated to the Moon Goddess and announced as royal heir.My chest tightens as I hold him closer. Not from fear. From the weight of everything that led us here.Once, I stood before this same window drenched in blood and fire, wondering if I would live long enough to see peace. Once, I feared this child would never take his first breath. Once, I chose to die so the world could live.Now I am here.Alive. Whole. Human in ways magic never allowed me to be.And Caelum is warm in my arms.“You don’t know how loved you are,” I whisper to him, brush

Chapter: Chapter Hundred and two: RejectionLouis’s POV…..The pool was supposed to be empty.That was the entire point.I’d waited until the sun climbed high enough that most warriors would be on patrol or buried in reconstruction work. The camp had settled into a rhythm lately—hammering, hauling, arguing, healing. Noise everywhere. Movement everywhere.I needed quiet.I needed water.The natural pool sat hidden beyond a curtain of willow trees, fed by a slow underground spring that kept it cool even during the warmest days. Smooth stones lined the edges, worn soft by time. This place had always been mine—my escape long before I became Alpha, before war, before bonds and blood and fate tangled my life into something I barely recognized.I glanced around once more, senses stretched.Empty.Good.I stripped quickly, folding my clothes neatly on a flat rock. The breeze kissed my bare skin, cool and daring, and I sighed. For one brief moment, I was just Louis again—not Alpha, not leader, not mate-to-be to a man I wasn’t ready to a

Chapter: Chapter Hundred and one : What remains, what risesDamien’s POV….Rebuilding a pack was harder than destroying one.I learned that the hard way.The land stretched before me—charred earth slowly giving way to green shoots, the scars of fire and battle still visible if you knew where to look. This was what remained of my territory. Not the grand halls or stone walls I once ruled from. Just earth, trees, and wolves who had chosen to stay.Aria's parents stayed behind with her, so I had no beta or gamma.Wolves who had every reason to leave.I stood at the edge of the clearing at dawn, hands clasped behind my back, breathing in the cold air. It smelled like ash and rain and something new trying to be born. Around me, my pack moved quietly—no laughter yet, no careless joy. Just work.They were watching me.I could feel it.Once, they had looked at me with unquestioning loyalty. Then with fear. Then with disappointment.Now?Now they looked at me like a man who had something to prove.Good.I deserved that.“Alpha,” one of the younger warr

Chapter: Chapter Ninety nine: Where roots beginLouis’s POV……Morning came softly in my new territory.Not with alarms or shouted orders or the crack of weapons—but with birdsong and the distant murmur of wolves waking to another day that did not involve running for their lives.I lay still for a moment, staring up at the rough wooden beams of the cottage ceiling, listening. The land breathed differently here. Calmer. Younger. Like soil that had never known blood.Beside me, little Aria shifted in her bed,a small sound escaping her lips—a soft, half-formed whine that tugged at my chest instantly. I rose without thinking, crossing the room barefoot, lifting her carefully into my arms.“Good morning, my moon,” I murmured, pressing my forehead to hers.Her eyes blinked open—dark, curious, far too observant for a child so young. She wrapped her tiny fingers around one of mine with surprising strength, and I smiled despite myself.You’re going to be trouble, I thought fondly.Outside, the camp was already stirring. My pack—my pack—was l

Chapter: Chapter ninety one: Not over yetLily’s POV…..Time doesn’t move.It fractures.The gunshot doesn’t arrive as a sound first—it comes as a vibration, a violent ripple that tears through the air and into my bones. The world slows, stretches, like someone dragged reality through thick honey.Glass shatters.Not all at once. One pane explodes outward, shards catching the light as they spin like diamonds suspended midair. I watch them fall in lazy arcs, hear nothing, feel everything.Andrew’s hand tightens around mine.He’s still standing.I’m still standing.For a single, terrifying heartbeat, I don’t know if that means we’re alive—or just haven’t realized we’re dead yet.Ryan hits the floor.It’s not dramatic. No villain monologue, no final words. His wheelchair tips sideways, metal screeching against tile, his body collapsing in an ugly sprawl. Blood pools fast, spreading beneath him, dark and unreal.I stare.I don’t feel triumph.I don’t feel relief.I feel… empty.Then the world rushes back in all at once.Shouting.

Chapter: Chapter Ninety: Red means dangerLily’s POV…..The red dot appears first.It blooms on the marble floor like a drop of blood that hasn’t happened yet—small, precise, unforgiving. My breath catches so hard it hurts. For a second, my brain refuses to understand what I’m seeing. Then instinct slams into me.Sniper.“Andrew,” I whisper, my voice shaking.He sees it at the same time I do.In one smooth, terrifying movement, he steps in front of me. His body blocks my view of the dot, blocks me from it, like he can erase danger by sheer force of will.“No,” I gasp, grabbing his arm. “Don’t—Andrew, move.”He doesn’t even look back at me. His shoulders square, his stance widening, solid and unyielding.“Get behind me, Lily.”“I won’t,” I snap, panic clawing up my throat. “If anyone’s getting shot, it’s not going to be you.”That gets his attention.He turns then, eyes blazing, jaw clenched so tight I swear I hear his teeth grind. “Don’t be stupid.”“I’m not being stupid,” I say fiercely. “I’m being realistic. You’re a bigger

Chapter: Chapter Eighty nine: ComaAdrian’s POV………Hospitals have a smell.I never noticed it before—never really felt it—but now it’s everywhere. Sharp. Sterile. Too clean for the amount of blood it’s seen. It clings to my clothes, my skin, my lungs. Every breath tastes like fear and disinfectant.I’m pacing.Back and forth. Back and forth.The waiting room tiles are white, but in my head they’re stained red. I can still see it when I blink—Sophia’s blood soaking through her dress, her body going limp in my arms, her lips going pale as I begged her to stay with me.Stay with me.“Sir, you need to sit down,” a nurse says gently, like she’s afraid I might break.I turn on her so fast she flinches.“Don’t tell me to sit,” I snap. My voice cracks on the last word, raw and ugly. “She was shot. She was bleeding out in my arms. You people took her away and no one is telling me anything.”“I understand you’re upset—”“No, you don’t,” I cut in sharply. “If you understood, you’d be running instead of walking.”The nurse presses

Chapter: Chapter Eighty eight: Kill for meLily’s POV…..One thing about anger is that it made us do stupid things.I should have stayed where Andrew left me.That was what my mind kept repeating as I stood there, frozen among flashing lights and frantic voices, police officers ushering guests away, paramedics shouting coordinates into radios. I should have listened. I should have been obedient, safe, protected—wrapped in the bubble Andrew always tried to build around me.But fear does strange things to love.And love does reckless things to fear.The moment Andrew stepped away from me—his shoulders stiff, his jaw locked, his eyes tracking something I couldn’t see—I felt it. That shift. That instinct that had saved me more times than I could count.Something was wrong.“Andrew,” I whispered, but he was already gone, disappearing through the side corridor like a shadow peeling away from the light.My heart slammed violently against my ribs.I looked around. Everyone was distracted—police giving instructions, guests crying, Aria

Chapter: Chapter Eighty seven: Let's end thingsAndrew’s POV…..The world after the gunshot felt like chaos—like the air itself had fractured.Police lights washed the wedding hall in violent shades of red and blue, sirens wailing, officers shouting orders in sharp, clipped tones. The joy that had filled this place minutes ago was gone, replaced by panic and the metallic taste of fear at the back of my tongue.Lily was shaking.I had my hands on her shoulders, steadying her, anchoring myself to the warmth of her body because everything else felt too close to slipping out of control. Her dress—our wedding dress—was stained now, a thin red line where the sniper’s laser had burned into the fabric before the shot. I couldn’t stop staring at it.Her friends blood all over her dress.She should have been bleeding.She should have been the one on the stretcher.Instead, Sophia—I clenched my jaw hard enough that my teeth ached.“Andrew,” Lily whispered, fingers curling into my jacket like she was afraid I might disappear if she let go. He

Chapter: Chapter Eighty six: Don't leave meAdrian’s POV……The sound of the gunshot didn’t register as noise at first.It was more like the world cracked open.One second, everything was chaos—voices overlapping, Lily crying, Andrew shouting orders, Eleanore screaming like a broken siren—and the next, time slowed so violently it felt like my chest had been ripped open from the inside.Sophia moved.Not fast.Not dramatic.She simply stepped forward.And then she was falling.“No—!”My body reacted before my mind caught up. I was on my knees beside her before I even remembered crossing the distance. Blood bloomed through the fabric of her dress, dark and spreading, soaking into the white like a stain that would never come out.Sophia.My Sophia.Her eyes were wide, unfocused, lips parted like she was trying to speak but couldn’t find the air.“Hey—hey, hey, baby, look at me.” My hands shook as I cupped her face, forcing her gaze to mine. “Stay with me. Stay with me, okay?”My heart was pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears
