Chapter: Part two: Chapter 545Marabella POV“I’m not going to make it through tonight,” I whispered breathily, sitting between Jayden and Brax. Across from me sat Jordan.The carriage was taking us to the vampire’s castle. We were almost there, but I was sure this was a bad idea.My stomach churned with desire as I eyed them.Each one of them was dressed in black—black pants, shirts, vests, and cloaks. Their masks were black too, but each was unique.Jordan wore a black mask with black detailing in swirling vine patterns. Jayden’s was adorned with black roses. Brax’s mask featured black waves. These designs represented their respective territories, making them look intimidating. And hot.The only color they wore was teal. A single teal feather was nestled amongst a handful of black ones on each of their masks. The teal matched my dress.“You’re telling me. You’re going to be very distracting tonight, Spitfire,” Brax said, licking his lips as his eyes roamed over me.I was in a full dress, one of the fanciest ones

Chapter: Part two: Chapter 544Marabella POV To Luna Marabella Valarian and the Alphas of the Werewolf Territory, Jordan, Braxton, and Jayden.You are cordially invited to the annual masquerade ball held in the castle of Vampire Territory. You may bring as many wolves as you like.Please dress in formal attire. Masks are mandatory.Arrive by carriage at six o’clock.Food and drinks will be provided.Hope to see you there,Lucien.I frowned down at the beautiful black parchment. Silver cursive was neatly written across it with our invitation. I had never heard of this ball.Apparently, they held it every year.“I think you’ll find this is just the first year that anyone else has been invited, Spitfire,” Brax said, leaning back in a chair in the library.He had his foot up, resting it on one of the other chairs as I wrote in my notebooks.Jordan was reading over by the window and looked up, his eyes on the letter that had been delivered by Anetta.“And we have been invited this year?” Jordan asked.I held up the inv

Chapter: Part two: Chapter 543Marabella POV My head snapped up, my eyes clashing with hers. She had a damp forehead, her hair sticking to it as she ran in, pausing with wide eyes.“We’re going to get him.”“No, as in you have to. They have to stay together. It’s… I can’t explain it, but you need to get them back together.“They aren’t like you and your brother. Their shadows, they’re joined or connected or something, and it has to be fixed,” she said, clutching her stomach before dropping to her knees.“Where’s Cain?” Jayden demanded, helping her stand again, her face pale.“He’s healing Pearl. She was drained, stuffed in a closet,” Beanie breathed. “Marabella, you have to get Zale and Enzi together. Whatever Silas does to one affects the other, and we can’t let him.”I walked forward. She knew something, had seen something, and maybe she wanted to keep that a secret, but when it came to my children, I didn’t care.I pressed my hand against her face and reached my shadows inside her to hear or see what she couldn

Chapter: Part two: Chapter 542Marabella POV As soon as they touched, I sucked in a breath, an image popping into my head.It was the same one that had been haunting me since I had touched the border.Silas, standing in my village surrounded by dead bodies, blood, and carnage everywhere he smirked at me.But this time was worse because I could feel the emptiness inside me knowing my mates were dead. Tears fell from my eyes as my chest tightened, trying to hold my heart together.Silas looked directly at me as I stood in the snow, the darkness of night still making him a shadow in the burning flames of my village.His smirk pulled up, and he stepped out of the shadows, his hand resting on the shoulders of a little boy. With white eyes.“No,” I breathed, choking on the pure fear that gripped me. “Zale,” I gasped out, holding my stomach, but the boy said nothing, blood dripping down his chin, his canines out.He licked his fingers before looking back up at Silas. “Her too?” he asked the monster, and Silas smirked, no

Chapter: Part two: Chapter 541Marabella POV I had a restless sleep. I couldn’t close my eyes without thinking about the vampires and Adrenna breaking in while I was sleeping and taking the twins.I sat up, my head against the headboard as I looked out the open doors at the night that was a constant thing at the moment.The twins were asleep. I could feel that my shadows were checking in on them every few seconds, but it made me nervous being away from them.Mom had reassured me that it was normal, but I couldn’t shake the feeling.“Sleep, Little Luna. You’re going to need it,” Jayden said, his eyes still closed next to me, his hand on my stomach, rubbing it tenderly.“I’m still adjusting,” I said, and he smiled in his half-sleep.“You’ve got an entire childhood to stress about them, probably adulthood too. Let tonight be the night you don’t.”“If only it were that easy,” I murmured back, running my hand through his hair, playing with the dark strands.“We clearly didn’t tire you out enough.” He chuckled, peering

Chapter: Part two: Chapter 540Marabella POV Brax claimed me like a savage, making sure we both knew who we belonged to, and I devoured every part of it.I let my body do what it needed to, felt everything he gave me until the pleasure became too much, the connection too strong.Our shadows took over inside. The mating link shone so bright, I was blinded by it.And then it hit: the orgasm that stole my breath, my heart, my thoughts.It was just him, like I had been held back for so long that now the dam had broken, my soul was satiating its starvation.A steady diet of alpha was exactly what it ordered, and the second Brax was fully mine, the mating complete, my mind opened.I sucked in a breath, clutching my chest as he pulled out of me, breathing just as hard, pulling me up to stand with him, Jayden, and Jordan.“Welcome to our pack, Little Luna.” Jayden kissed my cheek, his lips helping everything pile in.Every emotion that ran through every wolf in the pack poured into me, every voice they had asking what the

Chapter: Chapter 128: And So, We LoveKane's POVI stand at the threshold of our newly rebuilt home, the sun casting a golden hue across the frame, warm light spilling through the open windows like a blessing showers It’s not the grandeur that moves me, it’s the soul of it. The laughter will echo from the rooms from today onwards. The footprints that will be imprinted in the fresh earth. The scent of wood and pine and hope.And love.So much love, it threatens to spill out of my chest.Avery steps up beside me, eyes shining as she takes it all in. The years, the storms, the wars, none of it broke us. It forged us. Every scar became a foundation stone. Every tear watered the soil from which this life now blooms.Without a word, I bend and scoop her into my arms.She gasps and lets out a sstartled laugh, wrapping her arms around my neck. “Kane! You know I can walk just fine.”I grin down at her, heart thudding with that familiar ache of devotion. “I know,” I murmur. “But this is how it’s meant to be. One last time, for old

Chapter: Chapter 127: The Winter BondAvery's POVThe air is cold, but it’s the kind of cold that wakes you up, that sharpens every sense and reminds you that you’re alive. The Winter Solstice is only days away, and I can feel its sacred weight in every heartbeat of the land. The earth is quiet beneath the snow, resting. WaitingJust like we once did.Our pack moves with purpose today. Fires crackle along the edge of the central clearing, and smoke curls into the sky, carrying the scents of pine, cedar, and slow-burning herbs meant to cleanse the air and ward off shadows from the old year. Every sound, every movement feels like a promise, a celebration of what we’ve endured and what we still have.I walk through the the csmp wrapped in a heavy cloak, my fingers brushing against the edges of wreaths and hand-carved ornaments hanging from the low branches. Everywhere I look, there are signs of hope. Ribbons in red and silver flutter from trees. Children laugh as they shape wooden talismans to hang on the sacred stones late

Chapter: Chapter 126: Guiding StarsKane's POVThe moonlight spills through the tall windows of the council hall, soft and silver, like it is listening. Watching. The fire at the hearth crackles, its warmth touching the faces of the wolves seated around me, my Beta, my Gamma, the elders, and all the warriors who’ve stood through war and ruin beside me.I stand at at the head of the table, but tonight, I don’t feel above them. I feel.… grounded. Equal parts leader and brother. And for once, the weight of being Alpha doesn’t press heavy on my shoulders, it settles easy, like it finally belongs.“We’ve come a long way,” I begin, letting my voice carry low but steady. “We’ve weathered betrsyal, bloodshed, and more loss than I care to count. But we didn’t just survive. We built something. We came back stronger.”There was a quiet stillness, the kind that tells me they’re listening.“I’ve been thinking a lot about legacy,” I say. “What we leave behind, not just land or power, but the stories, the strength, the love that live

Chapter: Chapter 125Avery's POVThe morning sun filters gently through the canopy as I move through the village, the rhythm of the pack pulsing around me like a living heartbeat. There’s no ceremony, no grandeur today, just purpose. And it feels…. right.My hands are stained with the scent of crushed lavender and rosemary as I kneel beside the pack healer, helping sort the bundles of herbs laid out in woven baskets. She speaks little, letting me learn through motion and instinct. I’ve found a steange peace in this kind of service, in understanding what our people need, not just in battle, but in their quiet suffering, their healing.“These ones,” she says, holding out a few silver leafed sprigs, “are for calming the mind after a shift. Especially for the young ones. They often struggle with rest.”I nod, pressing the knowledge into memory.Later, I join the young pups in the training fields. Their energy is wild and untamed, limbs flailing, giggles echoing through the clearing as they attempt to control

Chapter: Chapter 123: Harvest MoonKane's POVThe morning air is crisp, carrying the scent of pine and damp earth as I lead my son through the forest on our patrol. The golden light filters through the canopy, casting dappled shadows on the path ahead. Each step we take is a rhythm, a heartbeat in tune with the land we've vowed to protect.My son walks beside me, his small hand occasionally brushing against mine. His eyes are wide with wonder, taking in the towering trees and the rustle of leaves stirred by the gentle breeze. I point out the ancient oaks and whisper tales of their strength, of how they've stood sentinel for generations."How do you know where the trees are sacred, Papa?" he asks, his voice soft but filled with curiosity.I kneel beside him, placing a hand over his heart. "It's in the heartbeat of the land," I explain. "The land speaks to those who listen closely. As an Alpha, it's my job to hear it."He nods solemnly, and we continue our walk, the silence between us comfortable and profound. The fores
