Chapter: Chapter Thirty-NineSunny’s POV It has been a very long day. My entire body is worn out, Caterina is staying here at the pack house again tonight. As well as Simon, they were going to take the first shift with the twins so that Nick, Izzy and I could rest some. Walking into the bathroom I turn on both shower heads. Izzy comes in behind me with towels. But I don't see Nick anywhere. Iz must have seen the question behind my eyes.“He is tucking Rosie and Blair into bed.” She says while pulling her shirt up over her head. She slips her shorts off leaving her in her underwear. Her skin is pale, her eyes glowing like always. Only now I can see something new there that wasn’t there before. Longing is what I see now, also some guilt. Although she has no reason to feel guilty. My eyes roam down over her body. All I see is perfection, my beautiful mate. She doesn’t even have a scar from the c-section Cas must have completely healed her or Crescenda one. She clears her throat making my eyes snap up to her

Chapter: Chapter Thirty- EightZaden’s POV We had all of the usual greetings, and made small talk throughout the meal. Izzy was nervous and it was showing. Normally she is good at hiding her emotions around people. The tension rolling off of her was very noticeable. Able is watching her with me, she is making him anxious. He starts pacing in my head trying to find out if she knows what we have been doing. He is ready to get back to the pack house, I can’t say that I disagree with him. However, I desperately want to see Rosie. “Izzy, are you okay? You are acting a little off.” I say to her.“Are you finished eating?” She avoided my question. This only made Able more anxious and his anxiety started bleeding into me. Her eyes glaze over not giving me the chance to answer. Not five seconds later a door opens and one of the cooks runs out. She quickly collects all of the dishes, nodding to everyone at the table with a smile. She walks back to their pack house not saying a word. “Zaden, I want to talk to you about

Chapter: Chapter Thirty SevenSunny’s POV Opening my eyes, the room is dark. I can still smell Izzy and Nick but it is faint. So it is probably from the fact that this is their room. I feel for the remote on the bedside table and push a button. The curtains open, making me close my eyes at the sudden intrusion of light spilling into the room. I sit up and stretch and let my eyes adjust to the light. The clock says that it is already eleven thirty. That means I have slept most of the day. Pepper is finally awake in my head and wants our mates, I can't help but agree with her. Sliding out of the bed I go to the walk-in to find something to wear. We were going to move my things last night, but we were all just too exhausted by the time we got all of the kids to sleep. Then Nick and I took turns getting up with her to help with the babies. Down the stairs I hear Izzy, Nick and Caterina talking. They all stop when I walk into the family room. Izzy smiles brightly at me and so does everyone else. The smiles are c

Chapter: Chapter Thirty SixIzzy’s POV Blairs room was done in pinks and purples, you know the typical little girls room. Butterflies were covering the walls. Stepping into her room I turn on the light, and touch her shoulder. “Blair hunny it is time to get up for school. I am going to go wake up Rosie and I will be back to help you get dressed. Grandma is fixing breakfast.” I say. She sits up, yawning big, and rubbing her eyes. “Okay mommy.” She says. Rosie’s room is done in similar colors, but instead of butterflies she has unicorns all over her room. Her comforter is a shade of magenta. I sit on the side of her bed. “Rosie Sweety, It is time for school. You have to get up and get dressed so that you have time to eat, and brush your teeth.” I say while brushing her hair out of her face. She sits up looking confused. “Zaden will be here to see you when you get home from school. Do you know what you want to wear today?” I ask her. “Can I wear a Black dress with roses on it? I want to wear my sparkl

Chapter: Chapter Thirty FiveIzzy’s POV None of us got much sleep last night. I see Sunday’s eyes every time I close my own. I am scared for her. Looking at the clock to see the time. Five in the morning, Sunny and Nick finally fell asleep. I feel for the link to Caterina I need to speak with her. It opens with not much force. ‘Caterina can I speak with you in my office? It is almost time for me to feed the girls and get Rosie and Blair up for school.’ I told her. ‘Do you want my help getting them ready?’ she asks. ‘Yes, that would be great. Meet me in the nursery to help grab the babies, we will go talk and then get started for the day.’ I replied. ‘See you in a few.’ She cuts the link. I try to slide out of the bed without waking either of my mates. Sunny stirs after I stand up. I place a kiss on her forehead, and tell her to go back to sleep. “I am going to feed the babies and get the older girls ready for school. Go back to sleep, I'll be back up in a bit.” I say. She hums at me and I can hear he

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-FourZaden’s POV The office sways around me. The dark amber liquid in my glass is the only thing that dulls the constant ache from Rachel. I flop down in the chair behind the desk. We may not have been fated, but we were chosen. I trusted her, and she betrayed me. Tried to have me killed, tried to have Izzy killed. She kidnapped an innocent child and acted like she was in danger to get me here. I understand why Nick and Izzy had to make sure she was dead. If I were in their shoes and it had been Rosie that had gotten napped, then best believe I would have killed Rachel myself. My wolf Able wanted us to wait for our fated mate. Being rouge I was convinced we would never find her. Rachel and I had been friends for a long time. She was the person I told everything to. She is the person who was there when my mother passed away having Rosie. Rosie, the sister that I couldn't care for right now. I was struggling to care for myself and my new pack. Though after what most of them did to Izzy

What Survived The Burn
Loria thought she was just a normal girl with overprotective parents and a best friend who knew her better than anyone. But everything changes on her seventeenth birthday—when her body shifts into a wolf and the truth unravels faster than she can run. She isn’t human. And she may not even be fully werewolf.
Fleeing home with nothing but instinct and a mysterious amulet, Loria follows a pull she can’t explain and discovers a hidden pack led by the Alpha she’s fated to love. But Simon is more than just her mate—he’s the anchor in a storm she never saw coming.
Inside her, another voice grows louder: Zerina, a powerful wolf spirit with memories of fire, blood, and ancient magic. As Loria uncovers the divine truth of her origins and the depths of the power she carries, she must learn to balance two souls, protect her found family, and decide whether survival is enough—or if she was born to lead.
In a world of wolves, witches, and wars long buried, Loria must embrace who she is... even if it burns everything she thought she knew.

Chapter: Chapter 108Anthony’s POVAfter lunch, we packed everything up and started hiking again.I kept my map tucked into my pocket, but my eyes stayed sharp. The longer we walked, the more I started noticing something—markings. They weren’t all the same, not exactly, but they followed a pattern. Little slashes in the bark, subtle etchings that you wouldn’t notice unless you were looking for them.And I was.I didn’t say anything.Just made sure we always took the trail closest to the marked tree. I kept it casual, acting like I was just picking whichever path looked the most interesting, or scenic. But in my head, I was stringing them together like a puzzle.Mama and Daddy didn’t question it. They were too busy talking in low voices, probably about safety or terrain—or maybe just enjoying being outside again. Moon skipped a little ahead, humming something and twirling a long blade of grass between her fingers.But then the air changed.I didn’t smell it at first. I felt it. Like a pressure drop. Like t

Chapter: Chapter 107Anthony’s POVThe second I stepped past the line of trees, it got quieter.Not like everything stopped—there were still birds calling out overhead and the occasional rustle of leaves—but it felt different. Like the mountain was holding its breath. Like it knew I was coming.I let my fingers skim the bark of the nearest tree as I walked, my juice bottle dangling from the other hand. The coolness of the shade soaked into my skin, and the buzzing under the surface of me—it grew stronger. Not louder exactly, but clearer. Like static turning into a signal.I didn’t go far. Just wandered in a wide arc, staying where I could still see the edge of the picnic blanket if I looked back through the trees. But I didn’t want to look back.I wanted to look forward.Up.Around.The forest here was older than the land around the castle. The trees had a way of standing still that felt intentional, not lazy. Moss covered their roots like velvet cloaks, and lichen clung to their trunks like secrets.And

Chapter: Chapter 106Anthony’s POVMama’s hand was warm in my left, Daddy’s in my right, and Moon clung to my shoulder like always when she was excited and trying to act like she wasn’t. We stood close with all our bags and gear at our feet. The enchanted tent was rolled up tight, tied with rope. Everything was ready.Mama took a deep breath. I felt the shift in the air before I even saw it.It shimmered—like the space around us was breathing. A ripple swept through the clearing and then—We were somewhere else.The castle was gone. The courtyard. The fountain. All of it. Replaced by forest. Massive trees surrounded us, thick trunks and twisting roots and the scent of pine, moss, and something colder… something ancient. I couldn’t explain it, but I felt the mountain under my feet. Like it remembered us.I didn’t say anything. Just dropped my pack at the base of the biggest tree and crouched low, eyeing the limbs above me. Strong branches, good angle, easy grip points.Perfect.I leapt and caught the first

Chapter: Chapter 105Loria’s POVThe next morning…The smell of cinnamon and something sweet filled the air, but I couldn’t taste anything. I pushed a bite of waffle around my plate, pretending I was hungry enough to finish it. Across the table, the kids were laughing and squabbling over syrup, but I was elsewhere—still stuck in the corners of last night’s conversation with Anthony.I hadn’t slept. Not even for a minute.I lay awake, staring at the ceiling, hearing his words on repeat: "I want to go into the mountains. Our old pack ground. The place we were forced out of after the massacre."It wasn’t just the words. It was the way he said them. Quiet. Firm. Like he already knew something we didn’t.And maybe he did.He’s always known things.Even as a toddler, when the only things that came out of his mouth were facts about dinosaurs and the moon phases, his eyes always looked like they saw more than what was in front of him. It used to unnerve Simon, how wise he seemed. Now we just accept it for what it

Chapter: Chapter 104Anthony’s povI swung my legs under the bench in the library alcove, kicking the air softly while I waited.Mama had let me help sort books this morning, but I’d only lasted maybe thirty minutes before I couldn’t focus anymore. My brain felt like scrambled eggs. Not the good kind either—like the runny kind Daddy makes when he’s trying to talk and cook at the same time.It was weird. I didn’t feel sick. I just felt…off.Scattered.Like my thoughts were floating around above my head instead of staying where they belonged.I rubbed the back of my neck and spotted Mama and Daddy coming through the door, both carrying mugs and walking close together like they always did when they were deep in a grown-up talk.Daddy smiled the moment he saw me. “There you are, bud. You vanish faster than Loria when the council calls.”“I wasn’t hiding,” I said with a shrug. “I just wanted quiet.”Mama sat beside me, setting her tea down on the ledge by the window. “You okay?”“I think so,” I said. “Just weir

Chapter: Chapter 103Loria’s POVThis was always my favorite time of year.And the saddest.The golden hour light filtered through the tall arched windows of our bedroom, turning the pale stone walls to molten amber. The breeze coming in carried the faintest scent of blooming lilies from the garden below. Even with all the years that had passed, I never got tired of this place—of what it meant to so many.Our room was quiet for now, the chaos of the day momentarily held at bay behind thick oak doors. The halls beyond were alive with celebration and chatter, students slipping into their best uniforms or chosen outfits, laughter bouncing through corridors as final-year friends made promises of future visits and younger ones compared plans for the summer break.I stood by the mirror, adjusting the simple but elegant clasp at my throat. My gown was deep midnight blue, stitched with silver thread that glinted like starlight. Zerina purred softly inside me, both of us filled with quiet pride.The end-of-year fe
