Chapter: Chapter 83: Fake itCheska’s POV.Time kept moving whether I was living my life or not.There was an entire world beyond these walls. There’s sunlight, wind, life and I didn’t know if I would ever see it again. The days blurred together, each one identical to the last. Knox hadn’t spoken to me since the day he told me the truth.That had been three days ago.I knew what he was doing. He was giving me time. Time to think. Time to break. Time to accept the impossible.He had made it clear enough. Do what they want… or die.That was the choice he gave me, even if he hadn’t said the words outright. But the way I saw it, there was only one truth:It was either kill or be killed.I would never willingly mate him let alone be pregnant with Crux's child. Never. I thank the moon goddess for not letting that bastard appear or I would vomit. And I certainly refused to mate Knox. Which meant the only option left for him was to kill me. Unless I could somehow kill him first. Unless Crux got tired of me and wanted not

Chapter: Chapter 82: Always mine“I want the part of my missing soul back when I’m around you,” Knox continued. “That day you showed up at our old pack, it felt like something I’d lost for so long was finally coming back. I knew it was you before I even saw your face.”I shook my head slowly, my heart pounding.“I don’t understand,” I said. “Why tell me this when there’s nothing that can fix it? Why say any of this when it’s already over? You were the one who chose Emerald over me. You were the one who rejected me.”His emotions shifted rapidly, longing flashing in his eyes one second, then anger, then something darker. Something cruel.Who was this wolf? Is this the real Knox? I remembered him as a responsible Alpla not like this. He sacrificed his own pack for his personal gain. Why hadn’t I seen this side of him before?Knox’s expression changed again, his lips curving into something almost pleased.“But that’s where you’re wrong,” he said softly. “Something can be done. There are two ways I can get my soul back.”

Chapter: Chapter 81: SerumThe man screamed again.nIt was a raw, bloodcurdling sound, tearing through the hallway and echoing off the concrete walls. It kept getting louder, sharper, until it felt like it was drilling straight into my skull. Whatever was happening inside his body was invisible, but I could feel it. The agony. The terror. The fear.I couldn’t stand there and watch anymore.“Take me away from here,” I said quickly, my voice shaking as I turned to Knox. I felt like I wanted to vomit. Thi s level of torture was so terrifying. “Please. I can’t stand it.”For once, he didn’t argue.He placed a hand at my back and gently guided me away from the cell. I didn’t look behind me again. I couldn’t. By the time we reached my room and the door shut behind us, the screams were gone.It was too sudden. My stomach twisted.Did that mean it was over? Did they finally kill him?I closed my eyes for a brief second and silently wished the man peace. Whatever twisted mercy that meant in a place like this. No one de

Chapter: Chapter 80: BreakfreeBe strong, I reminded myself.Don’t let him see how broken you are. You can do this.“Zeus?” I whispered, trying the bond again, just like I had in the woods. “Zeus?” I tried once more, desperation bleeding into my voice. “Please. I need you.”Silence answered me. Zeus would have answered me. Knox wasn’t lying when he said Zeus has probably forgotten me. The emptiness pressed harder against my chest, and my heart sank further. I didn’t understand. Why couldn’t he hear me? Was the bond blocked… or was something worse happening?What if he was hurt?What if he was–“He was in an accident orchestrated by Crux. And by the help of a spell, he no longer knows you.’No.I wouldn’t finish that thought. Knox was lying. I knew it. Zeus was alive. I knew it. I could feel it deep in my veins, faint but steady. The bond hadn’t vanished completely. That had to mean something. I clung to it like a lifeline.The door opened.Every muscle in my body tensed as the air shifted. The fine hairs at the b

Chapter: Chapter 79: CooperateAfter handing the cup back to Topaz, I slowly got up and walked toward the table where the food sat. The smell hit me immediately, warm and rich, and my stomach growled traitorously. The last time I ate was before we visited Knox’s old pack and seeing the food before me made my stomach like that. She laughed softly.“Go ahead. Eat. I can get more if you’re still hungry.”I hesitated a bit.“What if this food is poisoned?”Topaz smiled. “No. I assure you that.”I nodded and, without hesitation, sat down and dug in. As I ate, my thoughts spun wildly.How long was I unconscious? The soup was hot and nearly burned my tongue, but I didn’t care. I swallowed it down anyway. Then I moved on to the chicken and vegetable wraps and let out a small, involuntary sound. They were… good, too good.“We eat a steady diet here,” Topaz explained. “Calories are monitored here. Everyone exercises daily, both in human and wolf form. They want you all in your best possible condition. Stronger. Faster. Wit

Chapter: Chapter 78: TopazNovember's POVWhen I swallowed the water, the cold slid down my throat like it was the first real thing I had felt in days. My hands were still trembling from everything. It happened so fast. The girl set the cup back on the small table like she had done it a hundred times before. Like waking up beside a kidnapped Moon wolf was just another morning routine.I watched her closely.Pretty did not mean harmless. She has a soft voice and does not mean safe. I had learned that the hard way.Still, my body was too weak to sit upright without my spine screaming due to the two bracelet-like made of silver and I don’t know the violet lining along with it but it keeps me weak. And my neck burned where they had stuck something into me. Every time I swallowed, I could feel the ache in the back of my throat, like I had been crying in my sleep. Which I probably had.“Better?” she asked.I did not answer right away. My eyes drifted to the corner of the room where the guard stood like a shadow. He

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
