Chapter: CHAPTER 69AURORADamon jerked upright with a harsh breath, his chest heaving. For a heartbeat, he looked around wildly, like a predator still trapped in a hint. Then his gaze found me.“Aurora,” he gasped.I barely had time to react before he pulled me into his arms, holding me tightly. My ribs ached. His face buried in my neck, his breath coming in ragged bursts.“You came for me… I thought I’d lost myself.” he said.My hands threaded through his hair, pulling him closer. “I will always come for you, Damon. Always.”He leaned back just enough to search my face, his eyes glistening in the moonlight. “You went into my head. You saw…”“I saw everything, I saw the man you really are, beneath all of it. You are not your darkness, Damon.” I admitted softly.His hands framed my face, trembling. “I’ve done terrible things in the past…”I pressed my fingers in his lips, silencing him. “You are my mate, my king, the man I love. That’s all I care about.”He pulled me against his chest again, burying his

Chapter: CHAPTER 68AURORAI lay awake long after Damon’s breathing had steadied beside me. The moonlight spilled across his face. Even in his sleep, there was a tension in him; his brow furrowed.I reached out and brushed my fingertip against his cheek. My warrior, my king. The father of my child, now haunted by ghosts I couldn’t see.My mind wandered to Trinity pack, Lyon had told me stories like this; of how warriors finding it hard to move on from certain battles.Some even drink themselves to numbness. Lyon had told me about a seer, who lived in the northern mountains; in a place no pack claimed the land.The seer can walk through a warrior's mind and pluck out the roots of fear and grief as if tending to a garden.I rose silently from the bed, padding barefoot across the room to the small chest where I kept my travel cloak.I ran my finger over the fabric, feeling the weight of my choice. “Forgive me, my love. But I can’t stand and watch you drown in this.” I whispered, glancing back at his sleepin

Chapter: CHAPTER 67 DAMONA loud knock disrupted me from my quiet time with Aurora. I stood abruptly and opened the door.Standing there was a guard. His head bowed. “My king, a messenger dropped this; this letter was found among Alpha Eden’s things. It’s addressed to you.”I took the letter, my heart thudding as I recognized the handwriting. I close the door behind the guard.I sat on the bed, staring at the folded parchment before finally breaking the seal.“Damon,If you are reading this, then I am already dead. There is no excuse I can give you, no words that can undo what I have done to you, and to Aurora.I was angry, jealous, and blind… but most of all, I was weak. I let my father poison my mind until I couldn’t tell my own thoughts from his commands.You were always the better Alpha, Damon. Same as your father. That’s why he hated you and your family. He couldn’t destroy your father, so he thought he could destroy you; by using me.If there’s anything left of the bond we once had, listen to me n

Chapter: CHAPTER 66 AURORAI had been restless all day, pacing the palace grounds like a caged animal. Still no word from Damon.Aaron’s reassurances echoed in my head, “He’s fine, he will win this battle.” but my spirit refused to settle.My eyes scanned the courtyard, the aftermath of war laid bare before me. The stench of blood lingered in the air.Bodies of Moonshadow warriors lay alongside the fallen rogues who dared invade.So much loss, too much. I whispered a silent prayer to the Moon Goddess that it would end now; I couldn’t bear more.“My queen,” a voice came from behind.I turned sharply and met Daisy’s gaze. Her eyes were swollen from crying, her face pale with exhaustion.But I felt nothing for her; not pity, not forgiveness. I had given my compassion too freely in the past, and it had nearly cost me everything.Now I had a family to protect, and there was no room for weakness. Daisy stepped forward, her voice trembling.“I’m leaving, my queen. I can’t stay here… not after what I’ve done. P

Chapter: CHAPTER 65DAMONMy voice cut through the tension, low but sharp. “Tell me, Eden… did you betray me for your ambition, or for this?”Eden’s glare darted to me. “Stay out of this.”“Oh, I'm very much in this, two years you’ve been running from me, Eden. All that time, you thought you were playing your game; but really, you were just a pawn in his.” I said, leaning against the restraints.Eden’s jaw clenched.Fabian scoffed. “Don’t listen to him, Son. He’s trying to…”“Trying to what? Open his eyes? Remind him you fed him lies, turned him against me? You promised him Moonshadow, but you never intended to give it to him. You wanted it for yourself.” My tone was almost mocking.Eden’s breathing grew heavier, his fist tightening at his sides.“You see it now, don’t you? He doesn’t care about you, Eden. You’re just his weapon for a meaningless revenge.” I pressed.Fabian stepped forward, “That’s enough.” his voice a dangerous growl.But I wasn’t done. My eyes locked on Eden’s. “You and I know betrayal

Chapter: CHAPTER 64AURORAI sat at the window of our chambers, Declan curled up asleep in my lap. The sun was dipping low, casting long golden shadows across the courtyard, but my heart felt anything but calm.Something was wrong. I had been restless since Damon left, pacing, glancing toward the gates as if sheer willpower could bring him home faster.As I stroked my son’s hair, a sudden, sharp ache gripped my chest. Oprah entered quietly with a tray of tea, but paused mid-step.“My child, are you well? You look pale.”“Something is wrong, something’s happened.” my gaze fixed on the horizon.Oprah set the tray down, frowning. “You don’t know that for sure…”“I do,” my voice was low, certain. I moved to the balcony after dropping Declan on the cushion. Scanning the distant forests. A cool wind swept in, carrying with it a faint scent of blood and steel.Not literally, but as if my bond with Damon was whispering it to me.“Damon,” I whispered, gripping the railings until my knuckles turned white.At that

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVENSARAEvery moment stretched like an eternity. The palace felt like a tomb, silent and still, as if holding its breath along with me.Days passed, and still, the Alpha remained in his deep sleep, unmoving. The pack sensed the unease, whispers of the Alpha’s condition spreading like wildfire, filling the air with a sense of impending doom.My heart ached with every passing hour, the emptiness of his absence growing like a chasm in my soul.I spent my days at his side, watching over him, praying silently for a miracle. While Aldo handles the affairs of the pack.Each night, I listened to Fisher’s chants, his voice a distant echo of hope. But the more time passed, the more my hope began to waver, replaced by a cold, creeping fear that I would never see my mate’s eyes again.The palace staff moved quietly, their faces drawn and pale, as if reflecting my anguish. Aldo, too, hovered nearby, his expression dark with worry, ready to support me, even as he grappled with his own grief over Eden’s

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX ALPHA KING EDENThe air in the room was thick with tension, the flickering light from the candles casting shadows across the walls. I stood in the center, my gaze steady as I watched Fisher prepare the ritual.I had sent Aldo a message to Fisher for this ritual, as it was the only way to save my daughter and the pack from the prophecy. Aldo protested but I told him I had made up my mind.The chronos amulet that had been in Fisher’s possession after using it to remove Sara’s curse was my only option.The chronos amulet, an ancient relic known for its power to alter fate, lay on a small pedestal before us. Its gemstone pulsed faintly, as if alive, resonating with the power it held.Fisher’s eyes clouded by age yet sharp with wisdom, turned to me. “Are you certain about this, Alpha? The consequences could be grave.“The prophecy is not something to be taken lightly. This could cost you your life.” he asked, his voice gravelly, echoing with years of knowledge and forewarning.My jaw tig

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVE SARAI stood at the pack ground watching the Alpha address the pack, I felt a renewed sense of hope. He stood tall and confident, his voice commanding the attention of every wolf gathered around him.I recalled how I sat at the chamber, lost in thought after storming out of the throne room. Eden had come to me later in the night, his expression a mixture of determination and apology.He hadn’t let my anger push him away. Instead, he’d held me close, his hands gentle as he brushed away my tears.We talked for hours, sharing fears and hopes, finding common ground in our love for our children.Eden had promised me, he would find a way to ensure our daughter’s safety without resorting to drastic measures.He had asked me to trust him, and I trust him. His resolve had reassured me, and the walls between us crumbled.We kissed then, with a tenderness that spoke of forgiveness and understanding. The intensity of our emotions had quickly ignited into passion, a need to reconnect and affirm

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOURALPHA KING EDENSitting in the throne room as Fisher stood with his eyes on me. He had arrived in the early hours of the morning.His elderly figure draped in a layer of ceremonial robes, stood in the throne room. His eyes, clouded with the wisdom of countless years.He spoke softly, yet his words carried the weight of ages, echoing through the room like a quiet, unbreakable command.“Alpha, your daughter’s powers are unlike any we have seen in generations. They align with the prophecy of the old, a prophecy that foretells the rise of a child born to end the era of wolves.“Her abilities are growing, and without proper guidance, they will become uncontrollable. He said, his voice as steady as stone.I tensed, my jaw clenching as I listened. I had feared these words, yet hearing them aloud made my blood run cold. I exchanged a glance with Sara, whose eyes were filled with worry and desperation.Fisher continued. “There is a way to protect the pack, but it is a hard path to walk. Your d

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREESARAEden and I lay nestled together in our bedroom, the warmth of our embrace a comfort after a long day for both of us on our various pack duties.The soft glow of the candlelight cast a soothing light across the room, and the rhythmic sound of our breathing filled the space with a sense of peace.Eden ran his fingers through my hair, pressing soft kisses against my forehead. Our hearts beat in sync, a silent reminder of our bond.Just then, a sharp knock sounded at the door. Eden sighed, reluctance weighing on him as he pulled away from my embrace.He walked over to the door, his posture stiffening as he opened the door and found Aldo standing there, his face pale and etched with worry.“Alpha, It’s… it’s about Elena. Her powers…” Aldo said, his voice strained.Before he could finish, Eden’s eyes widened in alarm. Instinctively, I sat up in bed, sensing the change in the atmosphere.Without another word, Eden and I bolted from the room, our hearts racing with fear and urgency. We b

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHTY-TWO ALPHA KING EDENI held Sara as she cried, my own emotions were kept in check for her sake, my resolve solidifying with every tear she shed.Minutes turned into what felt like hours, her sobs slowly quieting down, replaced by the soft sound of her breathing.I continued to hold her, whispering soothing words, my hands never ceasing their gentle, comforting motions.Eventually, the exhaustion of the day took over, and Sara’s eyelids grew heavy. Her breathing became slow and even, and she drifted into sleep, cradled in my embrace.I remained still, staring out into the darkness beyond the windows of my study, my thoughts racing even as my heart beat steadily.I looked down at Sara, her face peaceful in sleep despite the tear stains on her cheeks. I brushed a strand of hair away from her face, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead.At that moment, I made a silent vow. Whatever it took, I would protect my family. I would not let a prophecy dictate the fate of my children. I would seek an
