Chapter: Chapter 31: Herdless GroupJust like Zeus promised, after everything was done, I was on my own. He spent the remainder locked up in his office, which I found this morning. Zeus is probably getting back up on all things herd-related and took me to go on my tour of the house. I liked to explore. On my way to the library, I passed by a door that Zeus still needed to show me. I was swept away by my curiosity. After my inner battle about whether I should enter, I decided to see what was there for myself. Zeus hadn't warned away from any areas, so I assume proceeding is fine. When I opened the door, I quickly found a pair of steps behind it that led downward into the basement. I followed it until I reached the bottom. I was surprised to see an infirmary down below. It resembled a local clinic in my town. The infirmary in my old pack was nowhere this large; in fact, it tripled the size of this one. I imagine all the excess beds were for those injured during a battle. They must have had a conflict in the past if th

Chapter: Chapter 30: Getting to know the Lands"I met Emerald when I was at my mom's old pack. I was just a kid then. She was not exactly a pack member back then but her father and her half-sister were," Zeus told me while walking. "She was the product of a one-night stand if you can call it that. Their mother, an omega from another pack decided to raise her and sometimes, she would visit her father and stay in the pack for a few weeks, but later on, Emerald stopped coming over and stayed with her mom's pack for good," he said.I watch him closely, studying every reaction his face shows."Emerald and I were friends when we were kids. She's smart, strong-headed, and mischievous. She changed, maybe because of her mother's strict rule. And when I saw her visiting her father one time after many years, and I was probably around 18 and was in expected to move out due to my dragon part being stronger than the wolf side, I knew Emerald was my mate, but she was already with Knox and madly in love.To summarize, she rejected me even if sh

Chapter: Chapter 29: Mating ProcessNovember’s Point of View"I heard you weren’t still ready to retake the Alpha position?" I asked Zeus as he was going through some paper. I heard he has been pushing his herd to be officially registered to the Shifter Authority. His herd was not all Dragon kin, it was mixed. He basically accepts every homeless shifter though most of them are halfbreeds or hybrids. I immediately felt welcome here, unlike my old pack which I felt unappreciated. "Very soon," Erix nodded. " I need to get in touch with the herd first. And reorganized everything like before."“Before,” I said. It was not a question. "Well, I messed up before, couple of years ago. I was selling Wolfnip," he stated. “Uhm, why are you asking? Do you want to offer help?” He said smiling. "Yeah."“Sure,” Zeus said. “Help me sort these papers first.”As we worked, I noticed that the Zeus that sold Wolfnip was far different from the Zeus handling his herd. He was a serious type yet still playful sometimes, a carefree Alpha.Aft

Chapter: Chapter 28: A little too lateKnox’s Point of view (The day November set to leave with Zeus)I stood at the top of the grand staircase, the polished wood cool beneath my fingers as I gripped the banister. Below, my pack was gathered, murmuring, laughing, drinking, all part of the illusion I spun. We have a celebration, a late party from my wedding with Emerald. She was late as always. Maybe from doing her make or her hair. Five years together and she still ran on her own clock. I used to find it charming, the way she defied the world’s rhythm with her own quiet rebellion. Now, I found myself counting seconds with the precision of a man about to rewrite his life, about erasing completely the thing I should have. I heaved a sigh. My hand slipped into my pocket and closed around the velvet box inside. Cool. Weighty. Alive with promise and dread. I had checked it a dozen times already, but I needed to feel it again, to anchor myself, to remember what this night was meant to be. It was my family heirloom, a ring. I

Chapter: Chapter 27: Herd is not a packThe first place I want to see is the kitchen. For me, the best part of a house is the kitchen. Why? Because magic happens in the kitchen. And since Zeus is nowhere to be found, I'll tour myself.Coming to the bottom of the stairs, I tried to remember which way the kitchen was in this enormous house. It was last night when Zeus showed me the way, but now, even in my more conscious state, I couldn't remember. I was too tired last night to even keep the kitchen's location in my mind.Looking to my left and then right, I decided to go to my right, the exact opposite way we went last night to meet the pack. The kitchen would be on the other side of the house and needed a bigger space than any other room, especially in this kind of house.I knew I was right when I passed by a few familiar doors. I remember passing Zeus spacious office on the way to it. I took a moment to stop and look in now that I could study it better.The dark wood interior gave it a look of importance and elegance. A fe

Chapter: Chapter 26: Bubbly teenager"Sorry if I startled you," Zenia said, smiling. "I came here to check if you are already awake." I giggled. "It's fine. I was surprised to see you still here. Don't you have school today?" She shrugged. "I went to school, but classes are suspended. So I went home and decided to come and see you. You know, for catching up," she replied before making herself comfortable on Zeus' bed. "Oh, alright. Wait for a sec and let me freshen up," I answered before walking back to the bathroom and doing my business. It took me half an hour before I finally exited the bathroom, ready to talk with Zenia. "Shall I take you to my room? I made some breakfast there when I returned from school," she invited me. "Okay, lead the way," I smiled at her. Zeus won't mind if I leave without telling him, right? Zenia must have guessed what was in my mind. "I told Ace to tell Zeus that I'll kidnap you and return to him when I feel like I want to," she said, grinning at me. I laughed at what sh

Chapter: EpilogueDarkness took me the moment I saw him. My legs gave out. My vision blurred. The last thing I saw before everything faded was the silver flame in his eyes, Seven, and then… nothing.And then warmth. That was the first thing I felt.Not the biting cold of the forest, or the damp chill of night, but a slow, steady warmth that wrapped around me like a cocoon. I shifted, confused by the softness beneath meth, e velvet-like bed, the silk brushing against my arm.And then the scent, it hit me. Lavender. Oak. Something faintly metallic.It was familiar, too familiar.My eyes shot open. The room was dim, the windows covered by long, heavy curtains that danced in a soft breeze. A candle flickered beside the bed. The walls are stone, regal, and carved with intricate patterns. And the ceiling…My breath caught.I knew this place. I had been here before. Lived here for weeks and months, disguised behind someone else’s name. Someone else’s face. This was the castle where I had pretended to be Sabrin

Chapter: Chapter 179: SavedI don’t remember when Amber slowed down.Only that, when I opened my eyes again, we were no longer crashing through the endless forest. The air was calmer, the scent of rot and blood faded into earth and pine.We’d stopped.I blinked, disoriented, my body sore and stiff. We were tucked between a jagged outcropping of stone and the thick roots of an ancient tree, a natural hollow, hidden from all sides unless you were practically standing on top of it. The brush above masked the space like a cocoon.A safe zone.Amber had shifted back, crouched nearby, her chest rising and falling in uneven bursts. She was breathing hard, drenched in sweat and rain, but she was watching the trees like a soldier on her last thread of strength. She heard me stir and turned her head. Her eyes softened when she saw I was awake.“We’re stopping here. Just for a bit,” she said, voice hoarse.I tried to sit up, groaning as my body protested. “Where... are we?”“Still deep in the forest,” she replied, handing

Chapter: Chapter 178: Never give upThe rain didn’t let up. It fell in heavy sheets, soaking the forest in silence and steam. We followed the trail from the map for hours, pushing through underbrush and ducking under fallen trees, our legs aching, our bodies barely holding on.But we didn’t stop.We couldn’t.Amber glanced back every now and then, her hand never straying far from the blade strapped to her thigh. I didn’t need to ask. I felt it too. That pull. That invisible thread tugging at my spine, warning me that something was wrong. Again.By midday, we stopped near a thicket to catch our breath, our clothes clinging to our skin, breaths misting in the cold air.That’s when Amber stiffened.She didn’t say a word. She just turned slowly toward the northeast, toward the path behind us. I followed her gaze.Nothing. Just trees and fog. And then I smelled it. Rot. Wet fur. Blood.My throat tightened.“No,” I whispered.“It’s them,” Amber said, her voice sharp with disbelief. “How? We’ve been running for days. We masked o

Chapter: Chapter 177: Chase 2A soft hand shook my shoulder.“Kayah.” Amber’s voice was low, but urgent. “Wake up. They’re gone.”I blinked hard, my brain slow to catch up. The dampness of the soil, the cold seeping into my bones, the overwhelming stench, it all came rushing back.“Gone?” I croaked.Amber nodded. “They stayed a while. Sniffed around. I thought we were dead for sure. But they gave up. Probably confused by the rot or lost our scent.”She offered her hand. I took it, groaning as I pulled myself from the shallow grave.“We need to move,” she said. “Opposite direction. If they circle back, we can’t be here.”We didn’t waste time. We shifted, our tired bones snapping back into fur and muscle, and we ran. Slower than before, sore and sluggish, but we moved. The trees blurred past in streaks of green and brown, the world quieter now. Still dangerous. Still hunted. But quiet.After an hour or two, the forest thinned, and we found it, a river. The sound of rushing water was the sweetest thing I’d heard in

Chapter: Chapter 176: The ChaseNo man’s land stretched wide and endless before us, untamed forest, broken earth, and shadows that whispered of the past. It was wild, yes, but free.We moved cautiously for two days, always in silence. Always watching. No patrols. No signs of trackers. Just trees and wind and the echo of our own breath.And for a brief, foolish moment, I let myself believe we’d made it. That maybe Axel hadn’t noticed. That maybe, just maybe… he didn’t care. But that night shattered the illusion.We’d made a tiny camp, just enough to rest and eat. Amber built a small fire, careful to shield it with rocks and branches. It barely flickered, barely glowed. Still… it was too much.The growl ripped through the forest like thunder. Low. Deep. Wrong. My blood turned to ice. Amber froze mid-bite. Her eyes met mine. We knew that sound.Ferals.Not rogue. Not Alpha.Ferals.An abomination of wolf and rage and madness. Creatures so far gone even the moon goddess had turned her back on them. Axel’s personal dogs.

Chapter: Chapter 175: Run awayI didn’t take clothes. Just stuffed everything into a plain black backpack. Something I could throw over my shoulder and run with. Clothes didn’t matter. Freedom did.I hid the bag in a loose panel behind the dresser in my room, then cleaned everything. Every step. Every breath. Every fingerprint.By the time night fell, I almost let myself believe this might work.Until I heard the door. I froze.The scent hit first, his scent. Axel. No. No no no..He wasn’t supposed to be here. Not yet. Not tonight. I shoved the panel back into place, threw myself onto the bed, and forced my body to go limp just as the door opened. He stepped in slowly, the weight of exhaustion dragging at his frame. His shirt was dirty, blood-streaked. His hair matted from sweat. He looked like he’d been through hell. But all I felt was fear.He looked at me.I smiled. Soft. Tender. Practiced.“You’re back,” I said gently, rising to my feet. “I was worried.”His eyes softened just a little. “You stayed up?”“I always
