Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and Eleven Hayden POVToday was the day of the general meeting. Since my return two days ago, I have spent it with my twins, organizing every piece of evidence that I had. Compiling the conversation between Abel and Ana, I could still see the look of horror on her face when I pushed Abel out of the car; she looked like she had seen a ghost.No one could escape, as I made sure the boundaries were guarded, and I confirmed that Peter was truly my uncle's son. I told my father about it this morning, and I had to hold him down from rushing to his brother's house.I also told Josh what his father had done and that Peter was his brother. He had been working with me for a long time, so he deserved that much respect.My twin's birthday was coming in a few months, and I could not wait to get all this over and start a new phase with my family."Ready," I said to Alex.She nodded. "More than ever."I grabbed her hand and then pressed the elevator. We had left the twins at home wit

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and Ten"Good morning, soldiers," I said while standing in front of them."Good morning, Alpha," They greeted."Tomorrow, we will save our pack. This is one of the most important missions in our lives, so there is no room for mistakes everywhere. Do you understand?""Yes, alpha.""Good. What I want is your excellence amongst others. No mistakes. Anyone who leaks any information here will die in my hands in the worst way possible. Now let us start."Jim had told him to come to the house; it was near the water. He initially disagreed and gave him another location with the excuse that he could be walking into an ambush. Jim used the same excuse for him, telling him that he might decide to kill him and take every dollar in his account. "The location is the house in the forest. It is not afflicted to any of us, and although he thinks he is smart, we are smarter."I pointed at the hidden cameras that had picked up a picture of a middle-aged woman who came to look around, using detectors and everyt

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and Nine Hayden pov After what we had last night, I had slept off but was woken up by the sound of my phone ringing. It was on the bed stand, but Alex was using my hand as a pillow, and I did not want to wake her up. I looked at the clock, and it was midnight. But then my phone started to ring again. She must have been disturbed by the noise because she turned and moved away from my hand.I tiptoed off the bed and grabbed my phone, then headed to the bathroom after looking around."This better be important, Jim?" I said immediately that I had picked it."Good evening, Alpha. I am calling because you said to call you and to never act on my command.""And?""The dealer messaged me. He says that he has something to do next week and decided to get the job done tomorrow, so I should get him money ready by tomorrow.""What did you tell him?""Nothing. He just sent me the message a few minutes ago. Also, there's a feature in my laptops that makes messages I have rea

Chapter: Chapter One hundred and Eight Alex povWe arrived on our private plane to Paris. This was my first time in Paris, and I was so excited. It is going to be a fun experience for me. I brought out my phone, then found the article about Paris I had downloaded, because I wanted to have a better knowledge of where we were going and where we would be visiting after we had rested well.My interest was piqued when I saw a picture of the Eiffel Tower. We will do that.We were taken to our hotel room by a limousine.The hotel NH Paris Gare de l'Est was famous for its exquisite view and its transport convenience, and I will go see it too.The fact that it was closer to the Eiffel Tower, the train station, and the airport made it an exciting place for tourists and visitors.After we checked into one of the biggest hotels in Paris, which was owned by Hayden, We collected the key to our hotel room, while the baggage porters helped us carry our bags into our room.I did not waste time showering; he want

Chapter: Chapter One hundred and Seven Josh povAs soon as Hayden left, I sat down with Lex, watching her rummage through the wardrobe.She had come to the kitchen, where I was lounging and waiting for them to finish cooking, and dragged me to her room."I need you to help me choose the perfect lingerie to seduce Hayden when he comes back.""Wouldn't Hayden kill me for looking at you?""He won't know unless you tell him, and what he does not know would not kill him. Now come with me."I followed her to the room, but all I wanted was to call Cecelia. I knew that she was in the Alpha's whatever, but I liked her.I remember how beautiful she looked from the back in the tub. She looked like a princess, so I pulled off my clothes and joined her in the tub."What are you doing?" She had asked me."Bathing, Isn't it obvious?" I asked."I thought you said that there was no reason for you to do that, as you will be leaving soon.""I changed my mind," I said, and then I started washing her hair for her."Okay,

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and Six Alex povI felt someone tapping me, and I groaned, then buried my face in the bed. It must already be time for us to leave, but I had stayed all night watching K-drama recommendations because I wanted to sleep more.It had started with Hayden bringing his laptop to bed when I said that I did not want to be alone in the room while he typed. He had agreed, but then the noise from his typing would not let me sleep."Can't you put down that laptop? I can't seem to sleep because of what you are typing." "I can't, but I can get out of bed; I will just be in the living room. You can call me if you need me."I shook my head, then placed my head on his chest. He likes to say that I have been needy these past few days.I had told him that since I almost died, I now knew what I was missing, and he started laughing.I stayed curled up at his side while he worked, but then I saw that it was disturbing him, just that he did not only tell me that he could not type comfor

Chapter: EpilogueELIANA'S POVI never imagined the ruins of my childhood territory could look… peaceful. But a few weeks after the war, as the final touches of the coronation platform went up, I found myself standing in the same clearing where my father once held full-moon gatherings. The trees were taller now. Wilder. A little like me.Kristen stood beside me, quiet for once, hands clasped behind his back. He’d given Blackclaw back to its rightful name without hesitation, and he’d done it with this steady calm I was starting to depend on more than I wanted to admit.“You ready?” he asked.Not really. But close enough.I inhaled, steadying myself. The ceremony wasn’t loud or extravagant. It didn’t need to be. My people were alive. My land was free. That was enough.When the elders placed the obsidian crown against my forehead, something inside my chest eased—like the last piece of a puzzle I’d been carrying since childhood finally locked in.“Eliana Stormwolf of Shadow Pack,” they said, voices rising

Chapter: Chapter Seventy NineELIANA'S POVMy power rose. Not in a wild, uncontrolled surge like before. It felt different. Steady. Purposeful. Like something inside me had stopped pretending to be small.I broke the binding circle with a sharp crack and rolled to my knees.The Priestess hurled a column of fire at me. I raised my hand without thinking. A shield snapped up—silver, shimmering, almost too bright to look at. The flames hit it and scattered like sparks on glass.Her eyes widened.“You don’t even understand what you are,” she snarled.“Maybe not,” I mumbled, “but apparently I’m enough.”I pushed forward. She countered. The cavern roared with light and heat. Stones cracked. The altar split. The flames she commanded twisted, then turned on themselves, swirling like a dying storm.She screamed something—maybe a spell, maybe a curse—but I didn’t stop. Not until the energy around her ruptured, collapsing inward like a star burning out.She fell with a final hiss.The flames sputtered and died.Silence rolled

Chapter: Chapter Seventy EightELIANA'S POVI woke up to voices. Sharp ones.The kind that scrape their way into your skull before your eyes even cooperate.For a second I didn’t know where I was. Everything smelled like damp stone and burnt herbs. My head felt… hollowed, like someone had scooped the inside out and left only the ringing. Then I heard my name. Not spoken. Hissed. Almost like a complaint.“…if you had waited, she wouldn’t be waking this fast.”That was the Flame Priestess. Her tone had that familiar chill that always made my skin stiffen.“And if you hadn’t disappeared for months, none of this would have taken so long.”Karen. Angry.And—not pregnant.My heart stuttered.I blinked until the room came into shape. A cavern lit with red flames. Carvings on the walls that looked like they were made by claws, not hands. And Karen—standing near a stone table—lean, exhausted, hollow-eyed, but definitely no longer carrying a child.Where was the baby?Something inside me shifted, almost like a remembered ins

Chapter: Chapter Seventy SevenKRISTEN'S POVArden sat shackled to the steel chair, head bowed like he’d rehearsed defeat before I even walked in.The interrogation room was small, stone-cold, one strip of light hanging low enough to cut his face in half. I stood on the other side of the table, arms crossed, Eliana’s scent still clinging to my clothes like a ghost.I didn’t sit. I couldn’t. My whole body was locked in a tight, burning coil.“Raise your head,” I said.He didn’t.So I slammed my hand down hard enough to rattle the table.“Arden. Look at me.”Slowly, painfully, he lifted his eyes. They weren’t defiant. They weren’t scared either. Just… hollow. Like something important had been carved out of him.“You’re going to tell me where my mate is,” I said quietly. “And you’re going to do it now.”A twitch cut across his jaw. “I already told the guards. Damon took her.”I blinked once. Twice.Damon?The hell was he talking about?“And you expect me to believe that?” My voice came out low, sharp. “She wasn’t even

Chapter: Chapter Seventy SixKRISTEN'S POVI knew something was wrong the moment I stepped back into the hallway.It wasn’t the silence. Our pack house had quiet corners, especially after long meetings where everyone scattered to take up new orders. It wasn’t the dimmed sconces either. Those were always left low at night.No… it was the air.The terrible stillness in it.Like the whole building had taken a breath and forgotten to release it.I headed straight for our room, half-expecting to see her curled up on the bed, asleep, maybe with her hair spilling over her cheek in that soft way that made me want to touch it.The door was slightly open.A tiny thing. Unimportant to anyone else.But she always closed it.“Eliana?” I pushed inside.Empty.The blankets were untouched. A faint warmth lingered in the air, like she’d been here not long ago. Her shoes were still by the balcony door, coat missing from the hanger.A tightness wrapped around my chest, slow at first… then sharper.“Maybe she’s with the kitchen staf

Chapter: Chapter Seventy FiveELIANA'S POVI should have felt safe when we got back to the pack house. Really, that’s what I kept telling myself on the drive home… like if I repeated it long enough my body would unclench. But the truth sat under my ribs, tight and persistent. Something had been wrong ever since Karen showed up at the resort with that smug little smile and her carefully placed hints about my past.I didn’t tell Kristen everything right away. I couldn’t. Not when his whole face went stiff the second he heard her name. He tried to hide it, but I caught the flicker in his eyes… the same way someone reacts when they realize the enemy has been two steps ahead.“How did she find us?” he muttered under his breath, fingers tightening on the steering wheel. “No one knew we were there. Only my officials.”That word again. Officials. Trusted. Loyalty always sounds beautiful until it snaps like a cheap thread.I kept looking out the window so he wouldn’t see how much I agreed with him. My own thoughts spiraled

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and Eighteen"You guys wasted much more time than I thought you would, but I guess that's thanks to Alix for knowing how to tempt you, Prince Reagan." The seer said, then pointed at the seat.Hot color blasted on my cheeks because when we woke up this morning and finished breakfast, Reagan wanted to leave immediately, but I cajoled him to a quickie before we came here."These places seem so clean, Merida," Reagan answered, then sat down before pulling me too.She smiled and said, "I cleaned it up because I knew you would be here today. I also did it to save some of my glasses."Reagan smiled. "I know. Your place is never this clean. Alix meets Merida. Merida, this is Alix, my mate.""Good morning, Merida, I am Alix. I wanted to ask you some questions about some things," I said with a smile."You mean some questions about the vision you had yesterday?"I nodded, stunned, then she burst into a loud laugh."You look stunned that I know about some flimsy vision. Don't be so surprised; I see everything

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and SeventeenI held my head because it felt like it was breaking into two. I tried to mind-link Reagan, but it felt like something had taken control of my mind.I felt trapped in my head until I was not feeling my body anymore. Instead, it felt like I was in the clouds."I like the necklace, the portrait, the note, and the flower. I love everything." I heard a voice, and when I looked closely, it was my father, Kish Stone, and my mother.He kissed her. "You do not know how happy that makes me. I look forward to these stolen moments, and I wish I could introduce you to my family and my pack.She smiled and said, "Me too, but we can't. Being here with you is already a big risk. I take many measures to be here, so we do not get attacked. My kind has been hunted for ages, so bringing me to your pack will put you guys in danger."He placed his head on her chest and said, "I know, but I would love to show my mate to everyone."She laid on her back and clutched his head. "Me too."He moved over to her, a

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and Sixteen Six months after"Wake up, Alix," I heard Reagan whisper in my ear.I wanted to groan and then sit up, but I decided against it. I turned, then pretended to be still sleeping."You are such a bad actor," he whispered, then slapped my ass gently.I turned and rolled my eyes at him. He smiled, then leaned down to kiss me and then my stomach."How is our peanut?"As if on cue, he started kicking.I grabbed his hand and placed it on my stomach."Your peanut is kicking like he is on a football field."He chuckled. "As he should."I grabbed a pillow and hit him on the head. "I don't blame you. Maybe you should try carrying him for some minutes."He grabbed the pillow from me and placed it on the bed before kissing my nose and lips. He pulled away before I could deepen the kiss and stood up.He pulled off his top and opened the drawer to grab another one."We made breakfast. Come have some before it gets cold." He said then put the top on, but I had another thing o

How can fate be so cruel?" she shouted in anguish. Queen Elizabeth pulled her closer and started leading her to the grave while whispering soothing words to her.The dam in my own eyes broke; I could not believe that Zacky was dead, and he died to save me. Watching his mate cry broke my heart, and as I cried too, I was feeling very faint, if it wasn't for Reagan holding me, I was not sure that I would still be standing.I wish I could turn back the hand of time; I wish I could not rush into that kitchen to eat; I wish I stayed awake to talk him out of coming to save me. Now his child would be fatherless because of me."His family members should step forward too."Reagan carried me to the grave and helped me pour sand inside, then led me back.After the funeral, which was at midnight pack, the king and many Alpha's started le

"I did not see the person's face, but someone was shot.""More reason I should come; I do not want anything to happen to my sister."I stood up and said, "Look, I do not have time for this. Stay with your mate and take care of her. I will bring Alix back. So we can thank you properly because you just saved me once again."I kissed Ashlynn's hand, then mindlinked two guards outside to go in and lead them to my parents' house.When I got outside, Brian, Kingsley, and ten of our men that they had selected were waiting.Kingsley moved closer to me and asked, "Did you find her?""Yes, but why are you here? Should you not be with Kelly?"He shrugged. "She commanded me to go and save her sister; besides, she is at father's house, and Mario is also with them."I nodded, but then I remembered, "What about Dean?""No one has seen him. Maybe he was kidnapped too."I nodded. They must have kidnapped Dean, because I was wondering how they got the password into our first storage
