Chapter: Chapter 61: Take meNovember's POV The door closed behind us with a quiet click. “Nov, look. Marking is not the same as wolves. Dragons are very particular in that thing. We can be possessive, dominant, anything you can imagine. We unleash our primal instinct.” “I don’t care,” I said, looking directly at Zeus. “I’m yours and you’re mine. If there’s someone who can claim me, it's you…” I saw Zeus’s facial muscle twitch but he never dared to speak again. The silence was between us. He stood close enough that I could feel the warmth rolling off him, his dragon and he’s. Neither of us spoke. His gaze dropped to my lips, then lifted again to my eyes, like he was weighing something he didn’t trust himself to say out loud. My heartbeat picked up, fast and unsteady. “November…,” he said painfully like he was trying to control himself. I didn’t stop. I want this. I want him. If someone out there wanted me, I want Zeus to take me, make me feel how mates feel when they become one. I stepped closer. And that

Chapter: Chapter 60: This I promise youNovember’s POV“I’m sorry,” Zeus said as he took me somewhere private after I felt uncomfortable with what he said. The room Zeus brought me to was small and quiet, tucked away from the rest of the herdhouse. It has a single window overlooking the distant glow of rivers cutting through the dark stone below. The light should have been comforting but it wasn’t.I stood near the window with my arms wrapped around myself, trying to make sense of what had been said at the table, of what Crux wanted. The words repeated in my head no matter how hard I tried to push them away.“I’m sorry, November. H-he sees through you,” Zeus said, sadness in his voice. “He wanted us! Like something valuable and useful. Something to take. We would rather die than him taking us! We only belong to Zeus, he’s our mate. If not him, we rather choose to die and bring the blue fire with us,” Iris said, Selene was nodding along. “Our mate is Zeus. I will make sure to stay with him no matter what.”Zeus closed th

Chapter: Chapter 59: Right here by your sideNovember's POVNovember’s POV“Zeus!” Angel screamed as two of the Dragon king’s men arrived with Zeus on stretchers. I ran towards him and shoved everyone away. I kneel down and touch his cheeks. He was pale and there’s a lot of wounds and bruises all over his naked upper body. “What happneded?” I asked Mykel as Iris and Selene whined. “The prince had a fight with his father. The King arrived just in time,” he explained. “Heal him! Heal our mate,” Iris screamed at me. “Not here. We need to take him inside,” I replied. “Please take him inside,” I said. “He needs to be in the herd clinic,” one of the herd members said. “No,” I gently answered. I need him to be in my room. I can heal him “Angel and the king nodded. “She can heal him,” the King commanded. “Take my grandson to her room and I order neither of you to come in or disturb them,” The king said which everyone immediately nodded. Mykel and the other man took Zeus inside my room. They positioned him in a comfortable po

Chapter: Chapter 58: An honor to protectZeus's POVFather was pushing me too far. “And when November accepts me instead of you, I’ll make love with her through the night, Zeus. I’ll make sure you won’t remember you and just the extacy from how I will fuck her,” he said, smiling. “Fuck you!” I screamed. The bastard pushed me too far that my control snapped like thin glass.Red fire burst under my skin. My bones stretched, cracked and reshaped. My claws tore through my hands. Scales climbed up my arms and across my chest in jagged black patterns, glowing faintly with red heat.I shifted. Fully.A roar exploded from my throat, shaking the walls and cracking the floor beneath me. My black and white wings tore out with a violent snap with edges glowing with red flame. My snout lengthened, lined with teeth sharp enough to rip metal. My wolf’s presence fused with the dragon’s body giving my frame more power, more weight, more speed than any pure dragonling should have.My tail slammed down hard, shattering a table behind me.I

Chapter: Chapter 57: Protect herZeus’ POVI didn’t move, not a muscle. The nerve of this woman who doesn’t know rejection.Aurellia’s hand slid up toward my collarbone.“Zeus,” she murmured, voice soft and intimate, “you can push me away all you want, but I think you and I could be-”“No,” I said.Flat and final.Aurellia blinked, but she didn’t step back. She tilted her head instead, her smile returning. Clearly, this woman wasn’t used to not having her way. “You’re just being stubborn,” she said lightly. “Most men need time to warm up to me.”“Aurellia,” I replied, voice quiet but sharp, “this isn’t about warming up. I don’t want you.”She eased closer, ignoring the meaning entirely.“But you haven’t even tried to know me,” she whispered. “You don’t know how soft I can be. How loyal I can become. How-”“I’m not interested.”This time, my voice didn’t lift or crack. It stayed calm. Simple. Unshakable.Aurellia’s smile faltered for the first time.I continued.“You’re beautiful. And confident. And you know how to g

Chapter: Chapter 56: RefusedZeus's POVThe room felt tight the longer I stood there, the bastard Knox was beside Aurellia like he belonged at her side. But it wasn’t Knox who made my body tense.It was my dragon.Aurellia’s scent reached me again, something inside me snapped.A deep, rumbling growl rose in my chest, silent to everyone else, but thunderous inside me.My dragon refused her. Completely.He pushed against my ribs, heat flooding my veins.“Not her, he roared.Never her. November. Only November. I won’t accept anyone but her!”His voice resonated through every part of me, stronger than any order Crux could give. Stronger than fear. Stronger than duty.November is my second chance mate. The she-wolf who healed the parts of me I thought were long dead after Knox took Emerald away. The woman who gasped beneath my forehead kiss, who looked at me with hope even after everything.My dragon had chosen her.And I felt the truth of it stubbornly settled inside my chest.I lifted my chin. My decision was alread

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
