Chapter: Chapter 189IRIS POV:We had been driving for a long time when the border checkpoint came into view ahead. Two men were standing at the gate and as we slowed down they both moved toward the car. One of them leaned down toward the window and then stopped.He straightened up immediately and saluted."Sir," he said. "I didn't expect you to be moving through here by road.""I'm keeping it quiet," Aurelian said."Of course," the man said. He stood there for a second like he wanted to say something else. "Actually, funny enough, you're not the first one we've said that to today."Aurelian looked at him. "What do you mean?""The Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack," the man said. "He passed through this same checkpoint earlier. Said the same thing, keeping a low profile." He almost smiled. "I don't know what it is about this road today."Aurelian went very still beside me."He passed through here," he said."Yes sir," the man said. "About four hours ago. Had a woman with him in the front seat."Aurelian nodded

Chapter: Chapter 188NICHOLAS POV:"How will he know?"'He may feel it,' Morveth said. 'After all, I was once in him before the curse was passed to Aurelian.'"Hmm."We'd been driving for hours when at last the borders came into view.The border checkpoint was quiet when we pulled up. Two men were standing at the gate and the moment one of them leaned down to the window his eyes moved to my face. And the moment he saw my face, recognition hit his face. He straightened up slightly."Alpha Nicholas," he said. "We weren't expecting you through here. Shouldn't you be on a private flight?""I'm keeping a low profile," I said.He looked at the car for a second then nodded and stepped back. The gate opened and I drove through.'Ask for the Draven mansion,' Morveth whispered inside my head."I'll find it," I said quietly.'Don't waste time, Nicholas. Aurelian is already on our trail, we have to get there fast. Draven is the final meal.'I kept driving.We moved deeper into the territory and the roads got busier a

Chapter: Chapter 187SERAH POV:I was standing at the window when the car pulled in. I almost didn't believe it at first. I leaned closer to the glass and watched the door open and when I saw who stepped out my heart jumped into my throat."Stephen."I turned and ran. I took the stairs immediately, gripping the railing on the turn, and when I hit the bottom he was already pushing through the front door and I didn't slow down at all. I ran straight into him and wrapped my arms around him and held on."You're back," I said into his chest.He laughed and his arms came around me tight."I'm back," he said.I pulled back and looked at his face and then I hit his arm."You kept me waiting," I said."I know," he said, smiling."Don't do that again," I said."Okay," he said.Then he kissed me and I stopped talking.He pulled back slightly and looked at me and then without warning he bent down and picked me up and I grabbed his shoulders as he started walking toward the stairs."Stephen," I laughed.He didn't answ

Chapter: Chapter 186IRIS POV:The gates were already open when we pulled in. Men dressed in black were standing around the entrance of the mansion and my eyes moved past them toward the grounds and I stopped walking."What the hell," I said.Bodies were everywhere. But they weren't fresh bodies and that was the thing that made my stomach drop. They were dried. Every single one of them lying on the ground looked like they had been dead for a hundred years, their skin pulled tight over their bones, their faces sunken, their clothes were still fresh but the people inside them completely hollow.I looked at Aurelian. His jaw was tight and he kept walking forward.We moved closer and the men in black were gathered around one spot near the entrance steps where a man was sitting on the ground wrapped in a blanket, shaking so hard it was visible from a distance.One of the men in black stepped toward Aurelian."He was left alive on purpose," he said quietly. "The killer spared him to pass a message to you."Aure

Chapter: Chapter 185IRIS POV:It's been over two days since the death of the Lycan lady and Aurelian has been in anguish.He's refused to eat anything ever since.“But why not talk to him?” Rowe suggested, looking uncertain.“He's been quiet since we left the mountain, I mean what more can I tell him?”“At least you tried,” Serah said softly.I stood up from the couch, walking towards the stairs.Standing behind the door, I placed my palm on it before moving to the handle slowly.But suddenly, the sound of a ringing phone came from behind the door.I pressed my ear against the door, trying to hear.“Yes, it's me,” Aurelian's voice came from behind the door, filled with grief.I tried to hear what the person on the phone was saying but the voice wasn't audible.Suddenly, Aurelian’s voice thundered from behind the door.“What the fuck do you mean by that?!” he shouted.Then a loud crash followed instantly, like something had been hurled violently across the room. The sound of glass shattering against the w

Chapter: Chapter 184IRIS POV: I stopped the car at the base of the mountain and stared through the windshield. Something was wrong. The fog was gone, all of it. Every single time I had ever looked at this mountain, day or night, there was always fog sitting around it so thick you couldn't see past the first line of trees. Now there was nothing. Just the mountain, clear and open all the way to the top like it had never been covered. "What the fuck," I said quietly. I sat there for a moment looking at it. Then I put the car in drive and started up. The road up the mountain was narrow and rocky and my car moved slowly over it. The whole mountain felt completely different without the fog, wider somehow. I reached the top and parked and stepped out. My eyes found Aurelian immediately. He was digging. A large hole in the ground near the treeline, dirt covered his arms and hands. I walked toward him slowly. Then I stopped, staring at the ground. Two wolves lay on the ground. Both dead, their bodies

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
