Chapter: Chapter seventy seven Thaila – POV The sun was dipping low when I finally reached the hilltop that overlooked my pack’s territory. The carriage had only taken me as far as the border—it always did. Royal carriages weren’t allowed past that sacred line, not even for the daughter of the Beta. Protocol, honor, hierarchy. All those pretty little rules I was supposed to bow to. Screw that. I stepped out barefoot, my heels abandoned long ago when the trail turned into uneven rock and mud. My once pristine dress was stained with dirt and torn at the hem. My hair was a tangled storm around my face, and my eyes? My eyes were war zones—exhausted but refusing to surrender. The walk down the hillside felt longer than it should have. Each step sent sharp little stabs into the soles of my feet, but I didn’t stop. Not even when my ankle twisted and I had to bite down on my lip to keep from crying out. Pain had become a language I understood too well now. It spoke to me in a whisper, said: You’re still alive. Keep go

Chapter: chapter seventy sixMason POV The rogue lunged. I met him midair, claws bared, bones screaming with the impact as we crashed to the forest floor. He was strong—too strong for a random stray. Trained. Calculated. His fangs snapped inches from my throat, breath hot and foul, but I twisted, slamming my elbow into his jaw hard enough to make him grunt and roll off. I didn’t give him time to recover. One kick to the ribs. A sickening crack. Another rogue stepped from the shadows, tall and built like a tank, with scars down his cheek like claw marks that never healed clean. His eyes locked on me—cold and amused. Two more behind him. “Three against one?” I said, spitting blood from my mouth and rising to my feet. “Cowards travel in packs now?” The first rogue staggered up beside them, wheezing. “He’s fast.” “Not fast enough,” Scar-cheek replied smoothly. Behind me, Rufus let out a low, broken growl from where he lay bleeding in the clearing, his hulking wolf form barely holding together. Hi

Chapter: chapter seventy five Isabella POV The door slammed shut like a final verdict, and the echo it left behind clawed down my spine. Thalia was gone. Good. But also… not good. I stood there, staring at the empty doorway, my jaw tight, my hands clenched into fists so tight my manicured nails bit into my palms. She always knew how to strike with words that bruised deeper than fists. Asher still hadn’t moved. Enzo was frozen, eyes still on the spot where she’d stood. “She’ll be back,” I said coolly, smoothing my blouse like I hadn’t just been ready to rip a woman’s throat out five minutes ago. “They always come back when they realize no one out there gives a damn.” Enzo didn’t respond. He just looked… wrecked. “She needed to leave,” I added, quieter now. “Before she took the whole house down with her.” Still nothing. I rolled my eyes, stepping around the room toward the window, watching as Thalia disappeared down the long winding path toward the woods, her silhouette a storm wrapped in leather. Then

Chapter: Chapter seventy four Thaila – POV I stomped through the driveway, each step feeling like a declaration of my rebellion, but I couldn't stop the adrenaline coursing through my veins. My heart was a shattered mess, but my pride was intact, burning hot and alive. I didn’t know what hurt more—the betrayal or the fact that I had to be the one to break away, to leave it all behind. I didn’t look back. Not once. Not even when Enzo called my name. "Thaila!" he shouted from behind, but I kept walking. Every inch of me screamed to keep moving, to never stop, to leave this nightmare behind and never look back. The sound of his footsteps closing in, his frustration growing louder, wasn’t enough to make me turn around. Not yet. The sharp wind cut through the tension, but my skin was still on fire, my body trembling with fury. I reached the edge of the driveway, the darkened woods beckoning. The world felt strangely quiet, as though everything was holding its breath. But then, his hand gripped my wrist. His fin

Chapter: Chapter seventy threeThaila – POVI stared at Alpha Asher and Enzo, then at the stupid Isabella I once thought had enough sense to handle her own issues.What the hell did he just say?You're my sister?The words rang in my head like a slap.My fingers curled tighter around the handle of my bag, my knuckles pale. I wanted to leave. No, I needed to leave. That was the only thought looping through my brain. I didn’t want to breathe the same air as these people.“She’s not going anywhere,” Isabella said with a voice that dripped command, like she owned the damn world.I stared at her, stunned.And then I laughed. Loud. Ugly. Broken.“You must be out of your f*cking mind, Isabella,” I hissed, storming forward like the volcano inside me had cracked wide open. “I came here for peace, not chains. I came here for a visit, and that’s over. Me and my brother don’t belong here. Never did.”But before I could walk past her, Alpha Asher stepped in front of me.Blocking me.Again.This man just couldn’t stop standing i

Chapter: chapter seventy-two …umble, just a little, like a wall cracking under pressure. For a second, I let myself melt into him—into us—because that’s what we had always been: fire and fury, love and war, passion and pain tangled into one impossible knot.But then I pulled back. “No,” I said, softer this time, but no less firm. “Not like this.”Demian’s brow furrowed. “Why not?”Because I’m afraid. Because the past is catching up. Because Enzo isn’t just a nuisance or a freak. He’s a threat. He knows too much. But I didn’t say any of that. I couldn’t.“Because I don’t trust you right now,” I said instead.His expression darkened, the muscle in his jaw ticking. “You don’t trust me?”I nodded. “Not when it comes to Enzo. You’re too close to him, too blind to see what he’s really capable of.”Demian turned away, dragging a hand through his hair in frustration. “You think I don’t know how dangerous Enzo is?” His voice cracked with emotion. “You think I haven’t been questioning everything lately?”“Then act like it

Chapter: Chapter sixty As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow over the kingdom, I felt a shiver run down my spine. The ritual was about to begin, and I was both excited and terrified. Arianna stood beside me, her eyes fixed on the king as he prepared the sacred circle."Kael, are you ready?" the king asked, his voice firm but laced with a hint of concern.I nodded, trying to appear braver than I felt. The power surge earlier had left me drained, but I knew I had to push through. Arianna's hand brushed against mine, a gentle reminder that she was there for me.The king began to chant, his voice rising and falling in a soothing cadence. The air around us seemed to vibrate with energy, and I could feel the power stirring within me. Arianna's eyes met mine, and I saw a spark of encouragement there.As the ritual progressed, the energy built in intensity. I felt myself being lifted out of my body, my spirit merging with the power that coursed through the circle. The king's chanting grew

Chapter: chapter fifty nine I stormed out of the castle, the cool night air hitting me like a slap in the face. The darkness seemed to match my mood, and I felt a sense of liberation as I walked away from the oppressive walls. I didn't know where I was going, but I needed to get away from the castle, from Kael, and from the suffocating expectations.As I walked through the quiet streets, I felt a sense of clarity wash over me. I realized that I had been living in a state of denial, pretending that everything was fine when it wasn't. Kael's infidelity was just a symptom of a larger problem - our relationship was a sham, a duty-bound obligation rather than a love match.I thought about my conversation with my father, and the sacrifice that was to come. Was I truly doing it for the kingdom's sake, or was it a desperate attempt to hurt Kael and Arianna? The more I thought about it, the more I realized that my motivations were mixed. But one thing was certain - I would see this through, no matter the cost.As I turne

Chapter: Chapter fifty eight Arianna povI stood before the king, my heart heavy with the weight of my decision. I had come to offer myself as the key to Alpha Kael's survival, but also to ensure his departure from our lives. The king's piercing gaze met mine, and I steeled myself for the conversation ahead."Your Majesty," I began, my voice steady. "I've come to tell you that I'm willing to proceed with the ritual. Let's begin the preparations."The king's expression turned calculating, and he nodded thoughtfully. "Very well, Arianna. I'll summon the elder and the necessary materials. But are you certain you're prepared for what's to come?"I nodded resolutely, pushing aside the doubts that threatened to creep in. "I'm ready, Your Majesty. For Alpha Kael's sake, and for mine."The king's gaze lingered on me, and for a moment, I thought I saw a glimmer of curiosity. "Very well, Arianna. We'll begin the preparations immediately. The ritual will take place at sundown."I nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over

Chapter: chapter fifty-seven Kael pov As I leaned against the wall, a weight pressed down on my shoulder, and I swallowed hard against the pain. It felt like a thousand needles were piercing my skin, and something was crawling under my flesh. My heart ached as I tried to rise from the couch, but my legs buckled beneath me. I fell hard onto the floor, the impact jolting through my body. Powers long dormant began to stir within me, like a beast awakening from a deep slumber. I could feel it coursing through my veins, burning like wildfire. My alpha instincts were rising to the surface, and I was powerless to stop it. The room around me began to blur, and I felt like I was being consumed by a force beyond my control. The pain was intense, like my body was being torn apart and put back together again. I gritted my teeth, trying to ride out the wave of agony, but it only seemed to intensify. Sweat dripped from my brow, and my vision began to tunnel. I was losing myself to the power, and I knew I had to fight back.

Chapter: Chapter fifty sixElaine’s POV I clenched my fist so hard I felt the sting of my nails biting into my palm. The room was cold—silent—but inside, I was burning. They were doing this in the open now. Flaunting it. Kael, the Alpha—the one I was meant to stand beside—choosing a rogue-blooded stray over me? Over everything we’d built? The alliance. The power. The future. And her—that girl, walking around with his scent, wrapped around her like a trophy, like she belonged here? She didn’t. Arianna didn’t understand what it meant to be part of this pack, this legacy. She wasn’t raised for it. She wasn’t trained. She was chaos wrapped in temptation, with eyes that made even the strongest men forget their purpose. But not me. I didn’t forget. I remembered everything. The years spent preparing. The sacrifices. The smile Kael used to wear when we were younger—carefree, before duty sharpened him into steel. Before she came along and made him soft. And now? Now, the council was slipping through

Chapter: chapter fifty five Kael’s POV The rain was still whispering against the windows when I stepped back into my quarters, the scent of her still hanging in the air—wild rain, warm skin, and something else. Something of mine. She was sitting by the fire, wrapped in a blanket, legs tucked beneath her. Her head turned at the sound of the door, and for a moment, the world just... stopped. Arianna. Goddess, I didn’t know how she did it. How she made me feel like the ground beneath my feet was shaking and solid all at once. One look from her could settle my wolf or drive him into a frenzy. The patrol had been dealt with—quick and clean. A couple of rogues testing the borders, nothing serious. But the entire time I’d been out there, all I could think about was her. The fire in her eyes. The vulnerability in her voice. The way she had looked at me before I left, as if handing me a piece of her and daring me not to drop it. I hadn’t. I wouldn’t. “Did you win?” she asked, eyes glinting with tired amusement.
