Chapter: Chapter 268AURELIAN POV:I stood there, breathing heavily. The car was smoking, and it was about to explode.Then I heard engines approaching. I turned and saw several black cars coming from the direction of the mansion. They must have heard the crash. They stopped a short distance away, and the doors opened. Men stepped out, their eyes moving from me to the destroyed car, then to the empty truck. Their faces were confused.I walked toward the nearest car and opened the back door."Back to the mansion," I said.The men exchanged glances and nodded. I climbed into the back seat, and the driver pulled away, leaving the wreckage behind. I leaned my head back against the seat and closed my eyes. My body was still aching from the crash, but I forced myself to ignore it.The car moved through the streets, and the mansion gates appeared ahead. They opened as we approached, and the car drove through. It stopped near the front steps, and I stepped out.Stephen rushed out of the front entrance before I co

Chapter: Chapter 267IRIS POV:The door groaned as it was pushed open, and I was dragged across the threshold. My feet scraped against the floor as the men pulled me forward, their grips tight on my arms. I stumbled and nearly fell, but they held me up and kept moving.Then I looked up and stopped struggling. The inside of the building looked nothing like the outside. The exterior had been cracked and crumbling, covered in vines and decay. But inside, it was clean and well-furnished. The floors were polished. The walls were painted a deep, rich color. Soft lighting came from lamps placed on tables and shelves. There were chairs and couches and rugs. It looked like someone lived here, like someone very rich.The men dragged me across the room and pushed me down onto a couch. The fabric was soft beneath my hands. Rowe was pushed down next to me. His head lolled to the side and his eyes were half-closed. I looked around the room. There were no windows. The walls were lined with bookshelves and paintings. A f

Chapter: Chapter 266AURELIAN POV:I kept walking along the empty road. The sun was higher.My clothes were still torn and stained with dried blood. Every few steps, I glanced back over my shoulder, but there was nothing there. Just the road stretching behind me, empty and silent.Then I heard an engine approaching. I turned and saw a black car coming toward me. It slowed as it reached me and stopped. The window rolled down, and a familiar face looked out. One of my drivers."Sir," he said. "Stephen sent me."I opened the door and climbed into the back seat. The driver pulled away, and the car moved fast through the streets. I leaned back against the seat and closed my eyes for a moment. My body was still aching. The wound had healed, but the memory of the pain remained.We reached the mansion gates and drove through. The car stopped near the front steps, and I got out. I walked toward the entrance and pushed the door open.The house was quiet. I walked through the entrance hall and up the stairs.I reach

Chapter: Chapter 265IRIS POV:I was pressed against the back seat of the black sedan with my hands tied behind my back. The rope was tight and rough against my wrists, and I could feel it dig into my skin with every bump in the road.Two men sat on either side of me. They didn't speak. They just stared straight ahead with cold, empty eyes.The car moved fast through the dark streets.I tried to look out the window, but the glass was tinted too dark to see anything clearly. I could only catch glimpses of trees and streetlights passing by in blurred streaks.I pulled against the rope, but it only tightened. I stopped and tried to breathe.Then I heard a sound next to me. I turned my head.Rowe was sitting on the other side of the back seat. His head was slumped forward, and his eyes were closed. Blood was still drying on his forehead from where he had hit the steering wheel. His body swayed with the movement of the car.He groaned again, and his eyes fluttered open. He blinked a few times and looked around

Chapter: Chapter 264AURELIAN POV:I took a step closer to the scarred man. He was still holding the gun. His hand was shaking. He raised it again and pulled the trigger. The bullet left the barrel and I felt it hit my chest, but I didn't stop. I kept walking.He fired again. Another bullet hit me, this one struck my shoulder. But I kept walking. He fired a third time. A fourth. The shots came faster now, one after another, and the other men around him began firing too. The night filled with the sound of gunfire, loud and relentless. I could see the flashes from the muzzles, bright and quick, and I could smell the gunpowder.I raised my hands and shielded my face. The bullets tore through my clothes. Each one stung and burned, but I didn't fall.My eyes burned gold and I released my aura outward, a wave of invisible force that spread through the air around me. The men froze and slowly, their arms dropped to their sides and the guns hung loosely in their hands. Their eyes turned white. One of them raised h

Chapter: Chapter 263AURELIAN POV:I held onto her hand as we walked out of the room. The hallway was dark. Our footsteps echoed in the silence as we made our way toward the front entrance.Rowe was standing near the car when we stepped outside. The night air was cool and the sky was dark. A few stars were visible above the treeline."We're going back to my father's," I said.Rowe nodded and opened the door for Iris. She climbed into the back seat and I followed her. Rowe closed the door and walked around to the driver's side. The engine started with a low hum and the car pulled away from the mansion.Iris leaned closer to me and rested her head against my shoulder."Your father," she said quietly. "Does he know about me?""I told him about you. About the baby."She looked up at me."What did he say?""That's the reason he offered to help me. He was angry at first. But he's always been slow to warm up to people."She smiled slightly."That sounds familiar."I laughed softly."I don't know what you're talk

Chapter: Chapter 204: Alpha RonanRONAN (4 years later):I sat behind my desk in the home office, papers spread out in front of me. The afternoon sun came through the big windows. Across from me, Elder Marcus, one of the senior advisors, leaned forward, pointing at the map we were discussing.“...and if we shift the southern patrol route here, we can cover the new border with fewer men,” he was saying.I nodded, about to reply, when the door burst open.Amara ran in like a little storm, four years old, dark curls bouncing, brown eyes sparkling with mischief. She laughed so hard her whole body shook as she raced straight to me.“Daddy! Daddy! Look what I found!” She held up a shiny rock like it was treasure.I couldn’t help it, I smiled big. The meeting was forgotten for a second.Elder Marcus chuckled softly and leaned back in his chair. “Alpha Ronan,” he said warmly, “Amara is all grown up now. Look at her, running the pack already.”Amara climbed onto my lap without asking, still giggling. “The rock is magic, Daddy!

Chapter: Chapter 203: The third matingLYRA:I stood in front of the big mirror in my room. The white dress felt soft against my skin. It was long and flowed like water. Tiny silver beads sparkled when I moved.Mira, my little twin sister, climbed on a stool so she could reach my waist. She tied a blue ribbon carefully. Her small fingers worked fast. She giggled. “You look like a fairy queen, Lyra!”Mary, the one who resigned after being my personal guide when I first arrived at the Moonshadow pack, stood behind me. She pinned white flowers into my hair one by one. She smiled big. “You are the prettiest bride today,” she said softly.Madeline from Aldric’s pack brushed the dress to make it smooth. She hummed a happy song while she worked.Mara stood close too. She fixed my veil so it fell just right. Her eyes were wet with happy tears. “After everything we went through,” she whispered, “you deserve this beautiful day.”I looked at all of them in the mirror. My heart felt full. “Thank you,” I said. “All of you. I couldn’t d

Chapter: Chapter 202: Where Lyra ReturnedRONAN:“Did it work?” Silas asked quietly.I stared at Lyra, waiting for any sign, a breath, a finger moving, anything. But she stayed still. My heart hurt so bad. Tears fell again.I reached slowly to pick up the baby.“Leave her with me, Ronan,” Lyra said softly. Her eyes opened. She smiled weakly. “She’s my baby.”My whole face changed. My eyes went wide. My mouth opened. Then a big, happy smile spread across my face. I laughed through my tears. I couldn’t stop smiling. The whole room felt bright suddenly. Everyone looked up with hope.Silas started crying happy tears. Cole smiled so big his cheeks hurt. Jerome wiped his eyes fast and laughed. Mara stood up, her sobs turning into happy gasps. The other woman clapped her hands softly.Lyra sat up slowly. All the pain in her body was gone, like magic. She felt strong again. She looked at me with those beautiful eyes.I rushed to her. She threw her arms around me. I hugged her tightly. We both cried and laughed at the same time. The b

Chapter: Chapter 201: My greatest joyLYRA:I opened my eyes slowly, seeing myself back in a bright place. No sky, no floor, no walls, no nothing, just light.“Where am I?” I whispered to myself.“You don't recognize it?” I heard from behind me.That voice sounded too familiar, impossible not to remember.“Aldric?” I said, turning back. There Aldric was, standing behind me with a smile on his face.I rushed to hug him. He hugged me too.“I miss you, Aldric…” I said.“I miss you too, Lyra.” Aldric smiled, tears in his eyes.I looked past him and noticed a huge door, about the size of a building, rising out of the white space.My dad walked out, my mom by his side.I ran to them, hugging them tightly. Aldric stood there, smiling.“I thought I would never see you both again,” I cried as I let go slowly.“But then what does this mean?” I asked.“You're not in your body anymore,” Aldric answered.My eyes went wide. “What of Ronan? What about my baby?”“You want to see them?” Aldric asked.“Yes… I’d love to see them.”Aldric no

Chapter: Chapter 200: Hoping for a miracleRONAN:“Just tell me you're crying because the baby is cute. Please don't say anything else,” I cried, my voice breaking.Jerome reached out slowly and took the baby from my arms, holding her like she was made of glass. His hands shook a little as he cradled her close, almost like he was trying to shield her from whatever pain was coming next.“Lyra, please clean up and come out,” I said again, louder, tears running down my face. “We don't have much time.”Silas put a heavy hand on my shoulder. His eyes were red, full of tears he was trying to hold back. “I'm sorry, bro,” he whispered.“Sorry for what, Silas?” I asked, pretending to be confused. My voice cracked. “Sorry that I'm holding my child? What is there to be sorry about?”I pushed myself up to my feet, trying to act like everything was okay. But my legs felt weak. My chest hurt like someone was squeezing my heart. Mara slid down the wall and folded into herself, sobbing quietly into her hands.“Lyra!” I screamed at the top of

Chapter: Chapter 199: I'm a father.RONAN:I spotted the hut from far off through the trees. I shifted back to human form. Cuts and bruises burned across my body, but none of it mattered. I ran faster, bare feet pounding the dirt path, my heart slamming so hard I thought it would burst.As I reached the door, Mara stood there holding something small wrapped in soft cloth. The most beautiful sound in the world hit me, the thin, strong cry of a newborn baby. Fresh tears flooded my eyes instantly. My legs almost gave out.It was my baby. I’m a father.The alpha arrived right behind me, breathing hard. When he saw the tiny bundle in Mara’s arms, a wide, proud smile broke across his face. He said one soft word in their language.“Sulome.”Mara looked at me with gentle eyes and translated. “He said… congratulations.”“Thank you,” I managed to choke out. My voice cracked. I dropped to my knees in the dirt, blood and sweat and tears mixing on my skin. “Can I hold her?”Mara stepped forward carefully and placed the baby in my ar
