Didi’s POVThe voice coming from the other side of the doorway had my face, my voice, and a kind of desperation that made my chest ache in a way I could not explain. I stood before the enormous opening beneath the mountain, staring into the darkness while the golden light beneath my skin flickered in response to every trembling word. Somewhere beyond that darkness, someone had been waiting for me since the day I was born, and the memory of the little girl in the hood kept returning to me with painful clarity. I could still see her small hand slipping from mine, her shoulders shaking as she begged me not to leave her behind.I had promised to come back for her.The thought frightened me more than the creature's threats because I could not remember making that promise, yet something deep inside me recognised it as truth. How could I have forgotten a person I had loved enough to make such a promise to? What had happened before my first death that could have left me standing in this lif

Jay’s POVThe moment I raised my weapon toward Didi, I realised that remembering my oath was far more painful than forgetting it had ever been.My hand trembled as I stared at the woman standing in front of me, her eyes wide with disbelief while Luca pulled her closer to his chest. The silver mark beneath my skin burned fiercely, spreading from my chest toward my throat as the voice beneath the mountain continued to echo through my mind. I could feel something ancient pressing against my thoughts, searching through my memories and forcing me to relive a promise made by a man whose blood I carried but whose choices I had never understood.I had been brought into this life to protect Didi, yet the oath I had inherited appeared to demand that I become the very thing I had spent my childhood promising never to be."Jay, put the weapon down," Didi said, her voice trembling as she took a cautious step toward me.Luca immediately tightened his hold around her waist. "Stay back, Didi. We do

Didi’s POV"I chose to die."The words came from my own voice, yet I could not understand how I could have spoken them or what kind of person I must have been to make such a choice. I stood beneath the black moon, staring at the younger version of Jay as he struggled to reach me, while the three enormous wolves surrounding me watched the sky with the alertness of soldiers preparing for their final battle. Everything felt familiar in a way that frightened me, as though I had returned to a place my soul remembered even though my mind had never seen it before."Why would I choose to die?" I whispered, looking at the golden markings glowing across my arms. "What happened here?"The younger Jay finally reached me, grabbing my shoulders as though he feared I might disappear if he loosened his grip. His face was different from the one I knew, younger and less burdened by the memories he carried in this life, but the fear in his eyes was unmistakable."You promised me you would find another

CHAPTER 31Didi’s POVThe Moon Goddess's words remained inside my mind long after her presence faded, leaving me staring at the broken staircase with a question I was almost afraid to ask. I had spent my entire life trying to understand who I was, and every answer I discovered seemed to lead me toward another secret that someone had decided I was not ready to know. Now I was being told that I had lived before this life, that something beneath the mountain had tried to kill me before I was born, and that the only way to stop it was to remember the person I had once been.How was I supposed to remember a life I had never known?"Luca," I whispered, turning toward him as his arms remained securely around me. "What if remembering who I was changes who I am now?"He studied my face for a moment before gently tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. "Then we will face that change together. I fell in love with you without knowing the truth about your birth, Didi, and discovering that truth h

Didi’s POVFor several seconds, I could not move, speak, or even convince myself that I had heard the voice correctly. The enormous white eyes beneath the staircase remained fixed on me, and the words they had spoken continued to echo through my mind with a cruelty that made everything I had learned about my birth feel suddenly insignificant. I had spent my entire life believing that I had been an unwanted child, a disappointing daughter, and a girl whose existence somehow made her less deserving of the love everyone else received. Now something ancient beneath the mountain was telling me that I had been killed before I was even born, and the worst part was that it sounded as though it remembered doing it.Luca's hand tightened around mine, pulling me closer to his side as his wolf pushed against his skin. Luke and Leo moved in front of us, their bodies tense and their eyes fixed on the opening beneath the staircase, while Jay stood a short distance away with his weapon raised. Ev

Luca’s POV The moment Didi declared that the Order of the Hollow Moon would have to come through all of us before reaching the chamber beneath the mountain, I felt the ancient power surrounding her respond to her determination. Golden light spread beneath her skin, illuminating the markings on the walls and forcing several of the shadows gathered around the broken doorway to retreat. I had seen Didi frightened, confused, angry and heartbroken since the beginning of this journey, but there was something different about the woman standing beside me now. She was still afraid, and I could feel that fear through our bond, yet she was no longer allowing it to determine what she believed she could do. I tightened my grip around her hand, bringing her attention back to me before the approaching enemies could distract us. "You do not have to prove your strength by standing in front of every danger that comes our way," I told her quietly. "You can trust us to fight beside you withou
