Chapter: Chapter 170 – The Burden of PowerI couldn’t breathe.The air felt thick, heavy, as though the weight of everything was pushing in from all sides. The bond that had once tied us together now felt like it was unraveling—ripping, tugging, pulling at me in ways I couldn’t understand. It was as if the power had broken something inside of me, and now I couldn’t hold on to it. Not anymore.The pack was on edge, their confusion mixing with mine, and I could feel it—feel them—all of them, in a way I never had before. The bond between us was stretched too thin, too unstable. It was pulsing with energy, but it was no longer something I could control. It was a force, raw and wild, that seemed to be growing with every passing moment. And as I turned to face the pack, I could feel the change in the air. Feel Cian.His presence had always been commanding, but now, it was more than that. It was overwhelming. He was standing at the edge of the clearing, his body tense, his eyes burning with some

Chapter: Chapter 169 – The Weight of FuturesIt wasn’t supposed to be like this.I was supposed to feel grounded, secure in the bond that had always held us together. But the power, the new power, pulsed in me now—unfamiliar, unsettling. It was as if the very fabric of time itself had unraveled beneath my feet, pulling at the edges of everything I had once known.I could still feel the bond between Kieran and me, stretching taut as ever, but it was different. I was different.And it wasn’t just me. The pack was changing, too. There was a palpable shift in the air, the way the wolves seemed to draw closer, the way their eyes lingered on me longer than I was comfortable with. It wasn’t just the bond that had been completed—it was something else. Something more dangerous.Caspian had been watching me quietly since the bond had solidified. His eyes had softened, but there was a new tension in his posture, a wariness in his gaze that I couldn’t quite place. As though he could feel the s

Chapter:
Chapter 167 – The Mating Bond Completes I felt it before I understood it. A shift in the air, something delicate and ancient snapping into place. A pulse of energy that reverberated through my body, so sharp and sudden that it stole my breath away. For a moment, I couldn’t move. I couldn’t think. It was as if the world itself had tilted on its axis, throwing everything into chaos. It didn’t hurt, not at first. But then the pain came. It was like the world was folding in on me, twisting everything that had been whole, bending it until I felt like I was coming apart at the seams. My breath hitched, my chest tightening with the force of something unseen—something strong, powerful, and impossible to ignore. The bond. The bond between me and Kieran—the bond that had been incomplete, weakened by the ritual, torn by choices I had made—was finally, irrevocably, complete. I gasped for air, my hands shaking as I reached out to steady myself. My fingers brus

Chapter:
Chapter 168 – The Weight of PowerIt happened in an instant.One breath I was reeling from the intensity of the bond completing, feeling its raw power searing through me, pushing me to the edge of something I couldn’t even name. The next, everything shifted. The air thickened. The very ground beneath me seemed to pulse in time with my heartbeat, and the sky above felt too close, like it was folding inward.I felt... everything.Kieran’s grip on my hand tightened, his breath shallow as he tried to anchor me, to keep me steady. But it was like a flood had broken loose inside me, and there was no stopping it. I could feel the energy, the force of it, stretching outward, reaching beyond the confines of the room. Beyond the walls. Beyond the earth itself.I gasped, my chest tightening with the force of it, my body trembling under the weight of something so vast, so uncontrollable. It was like trying to hold a storm in my palms, but the storm wasn’t just weather. It wasn’t jus

Chapter:
Chapter 166 – The Weight of the BondI woke with a gasp, my body thrumming with a mixture of exhaustion and raw power that I couldn’t comprehend. The room was still, too still. And yet, the silence screamed at me. My mind felt thick, clouded, like I was waking from a dream that I couldn’t remember clearly, but the sensations—the pain, the pressure, the overwhelming weight of what I had given—remained with me.I barely had time to register the sensation of Kieran’s hand brushing mine, the faint pulse of warmth, before I was surrounded by the voices.“Is she awake?”“Seraphina?”I turned my head, but my limbs felt like they belonged to someone else. I could feel their eyes on me, waiting for me to speak, for some sign that I was still here, still the leader they needed me to be. But I wasn’t sure I could give them that. Not anymore.Caspian was standing just inside the door, his face unreadable. Kieran, still weak, was sitting beside me, his face drawn, his eyes filled with more questions than I

Chapter 165 – The Price of LifeI couldn't breathe.The weight of what had happened crashed down on me, every breath ragged, my body trembling with the remnants of the ritual's power. The room felt too small, too suffocating, as the magic that had coursed through my veins bled away, leaving only the hollow ache of what I had lost.Ronan was gone.The words had been heavy in my mind, but they had never truly settled until I had turned to look at him, to see his lifeless form against the cold stone of the wall. His sacrifice—his life—had been the price to bring Kieran back, to save him. But it had cost me too. And as I sank to my knees, the exhaustion crashing over me, I realized there was no way to turn back. No way to fix the damage.Not even the steady sound of Kieran’s breath, the faintest rise and fall of his chest, could ease the raw grief burning in my heart.I had lost him. The price had been too high.But then, a sound—faint but undeniable—brok

Chapter: Chapter 300The phone call from Robert echoed in my mind long after I had hung up. His voice, smooth and chilling, was a reminder that no matter how far we thought we’d come, the battles we faced were never really over. But this time was different. It wasn’t just about the company. It wasn’t just about the business or the threats. This time, it was about us. About everything we had built, not just as partners in a deal, but as a couple. As a team. As a family.I looked up at Alexander, who had been standing quietly beside me, his presence the steady anchor I needed to keep myself grounded. We had been through so much—more than I had ever imagined, more than I ever thought we could withstand. But here we were. Together.“We’ve been fighting for so long,” I whispered, my voice barely audible in the silence that had descended between us. “But now, I feel like we’re just beginning.”Alexander’s eyes softened, and he stepped closer, his hand gently brushing the side of my face, lifting my chin so that

Chapter: Chapter 299The words Sophie had spoken still echoed in my mind. We’ve found the mole. I had barely processed the enormity of what she was saying when my fingers trembled against the phone, as if I could somehow steady the storm that was gathering inside me. Robert was playing a game on a level I hadn’t anticipated, and now, it wasn’t just about the company or the fight for our future—it was about betrayal.The silent dread I’d felt in the past few moments wasn’t just the weight of the business decisions or the personal stakes anymore. It was the realization that someone close to us had sold us out. They had been feeding Robert information. Our information. And every moment we spent uncovering the layers of this conspiracy, the deeper the pit in my stomach grew.I turned to Alexander, who had been standing quietly beside me, his eyes reflecting a calm I was beginning to envy. He knew the stakes. He always did. But the way his hand reached for mine, the quiet strength in his touch, reassured me. N

Chapter: Chapter 298The moment Sophie spoke, the words themselves seemed to shift the ground beneath my feet. “It’s worse than we thought.”The room seemed to shrink in on itself. I could feel the chill creeping back into my chest, the anxiety knotting up inside me once more. Whatever news Sophie had come to deliver, it wasn’t just business. It was something bigger. Something more personal.Alexander’s hand, firm and steady, still gripped mine, but I could sense the same quiet tension that had been present before. He wasn’t showing it, but I knew him too well. We had faced many storms together, but something about this felt different. More dangerous. More insidious.“I don’t understand,” I said, my voice rising slightly in disbelief. “What do you mean it’s worse? What’s happening?”Sophie stepped into the room, her eyes darting between Alexander and me, searching for some kind of grounding in the storm. “Robert’s been planning this for months. It’s not just about the company anymore. He’s moving into our

Chapter: Chapter 297I didn’t realize how much I had been holding my breath until Sophie’s words settled into my chest. Someone’s been feeding him information. We’ve got a mole.The weight of that statement hung in the air, suffocating any peace I’d managed to find. A mole. Someone on the inside, working against us. I felt the familiar cold clutch of betrayal settle over me, creeping into the spaces between my ribs. Betrayal always tasted the same—bitter, poisonous—but this? This was different. This was a threat I hadn’t seen coming.“Leila,” Sophie’s voice crackled through the phone, dragging me back to the moment. “We need to find out who it is. If we don’t, Robert will have everything we’ve worked for before we can even react.”I swallowed, pushing past the rush of panic that rose in my throat. “Do you have any leads? Any idea who could be involved?”There was a pause on the other end of the line, a brief hesitation that spoke volumes. “Not yet,” Sophie replied, the frustration in her voice palpable. “

Chapter: Chapter 296The buzzing of the phone echoed in the quiet room, sharp and insistent, like a reminder that the world outside was far from the peace we had built inside these walls. I had hoped for a moment longer, just a moment, to breathe, to enjoy the feeling of—of being together without any looming threats or doubts.But then Robert’s name flashed across the screen.My fingers hovered over the screen for a moment before I pressed accept, feeling my heart race as the seconds ticked by.“Leila,” his voice came through the phone, smooth and controlled, as always. “I think it’s time we had a little chat.”I could feel the weight of his words settle over me, his calm, calculating tone making my stomach twist. But I didn’t flinch. I didn’t give him the satisfaction of showing how much his presence still unnerved me. Not this time. Not after everything we had been through.“I’m listening,” I said, my voice steady, despite the storm brewing inside me.There was a brief silence on the other end, then a s

Chapter: Chapter 295The air around us crackled with tension as I ended the call with Sophie. Her words, once a murmur on the other side of the line, now echoed loudly in my mind. It’s not just Robert. We’ve uncovered something else. Something even bigger.I could feel Alexander's gaze on me, his presence like a steady anchor, even though his thoughts were no doubt racing. The moment we had just shared—the promise of a future that wasn’t consumed by the next battle, the next fight—now seemed like an illusion, slipping away as quickly as it had arrived.Sophie had said it. Something bigger. My stomach twisted at the thought. What did she mean by that? And if Robert wasn’t the only threat we faced, who else could be pulling the strings?I turned toward Alexander, trying to find the calm I knew he could give me, but it was harder to find this time. His eyes locked onto mine with the same fierce determination they always had, but this time, there was something else. A flicker of doubt. It wasn’t much—barely n
