Against All Odds Chapter 96. Destiny bond unfolds
* Cerberus *I didn't believe in omens. Not really. Not after all I'd seen, how often hope twisted itself into a blade. How many times I'd watched prophecy turn to ash in the mouths of those who dared speak it.But that dream...That dream was different.I hadn't told her yet, not all of it. Not the way the forest felt when I walked into it, not how the stars overhead pulsed like heartbeats, not how the wind called my name in the voice of something older than time. And not how the pup looked at me, not like a stranger, but like a son coming home.I stared at the ceiling of the Alpha House, arms wrapped around Zeina's body, the press of her spine a comfort I never thought I'd deserve. The silence around us was rare, so rare it almost scared me. But inside me, the dream still throbbed like the aftermath of battle.His eyes. Stormlight and violet fire. Like hers. And mine.I had never feared death, but the moment I looked into that pup's gaze, I knew fear, not of dying, but of failing. O
Against All Odds Chapter 95. Silver wolf dream
* Zeina *That night, I dreamt.Not of war. Not of fire. But of something older than both, something deeper.I lay curled against Cerberus's chest, our limbs tangled beneath the furs, the warmth of his skin pressed against mine like a shield against the dark. His heartbeat was steady, anchoring, the rhythm of a man who had faced every kind of death and still chose to live. For me. With me.The Western Alpha house was quiet, at last. The wolves who once howled their dissent had fallen into uneasy sleep or left entirely, and the silence left in their wake felt like a lullaby sung by ghosts.And in that quiet, I slipped under. The dream began in silver.Not light, but fur, gleaming like starlight spun into flesh. A small creature stood before me in the clearing, no bigger than my forearm, yet power pulsed from its core like the beat of war drums. A wolf pup. Silver as the moon. Eyes like stormlight and secrets. It stared up at me with a gaze far too ancient for something so small.It did
Against All Odds Chapter 94. Cerberus's Surrendered mantle
* Cerberus *I watched from the shadows of the northern corridor—an old habit I hadn't quite broken, even after stepping down as Alpha. Maybe I never would. Maybe part of me would always be the warhound, the sentinel, the shield in the dark.She hadn't asked me to be there. And gods, that made me want her more.Alpha Zeina was flame incarnate, sharp and steady, burning through doubt like a forge cleans impurities from steel. Watching her face Soren alone, seeing her spine hold beneath the weight of his disdain, reminded me of the first time I saw her walk into fire and come out without screaming. She didn't command with fear. She didn't posture. She didn't roar to prove her dominance.She was dominance. Steady. Certain. Sovereign. But it cost her.Even if she didn't show it, I could feel the heaviness settle into her bones with every step she took away from the table, every cold exchange, every bowed head full of resentment rather than allegiance. They didn't see her yet, not truly. T
Against All Odds Chapter 93. Pack loyalty struggles
* Zeina *By midday, the quiet was gone. The sun had risen with deceptive grace, gilding the jagged edge of the mountains and casting golden fire over the black stone of the keep. It painted everything in beauty, but beneath that gilded mask, unrest festered. Not loud or violent, not yet, but in the low tones of whispered conversations that halted when I entered a room, in glances exchanged too quickly to be casual, and in the subtle way power seemed to pulse just out of reach, like a live wire waiting for a spark.The fires of war had burned away the obvious enemies. The battlefield was silent now, but the true test had only begun. Peace, I was realizing, was more dangerous than war. At least with war, the enemies were clear. With peace came the slow erosion, doubt disguised as questions, dissent wrapped in smiles, fractures too small to call treason but sharp enough to draw blood if stepped on carelessly.Cerberus had been their Alpha. Their war god. Their shield. Their fire.To som
Against All Odds Chapter 92. A romantic evening
* Cerberus *That night, the fires in the courtyard burned low, fed not by the desperation of war, but by the quiet thrum of something steadier, loyalty, rebirth, peace. And yet, beneath all of it, under the pulse of ceremony and the echoed howls, there was another fire still burning. One far older. One that belonged to her and me.Zeina had returned to the war room for a final set of briefings with Beta Kael and Beta Aldin. Donna gave me a glance before she followed, half amusement, half warning. Don't be reckless with her, that look said. But we both knew it was too late for caution. I had claimed Zeina in more than ritual. And tonight, I would show her that nothing in this keep, not title, not legacy, not throne, meant more than the bond between us.The high tower chamber was dark when I entered it. Not empty, not cold. Just waiting. Like the mountain waited for the moon to rise. I shed the cloak around my shoulders, unbuckled the leathers at my waist, moving silently through the r
Against All Odds Chapter 91. A Challenge
* Zeina *Dawn came slow.Not in streaks of gold or fanfare of birdsong, but as a hush, soft and sacred, over the keep. The kind of morning born not from peace, but survival. The kind that only comes after something is taken back with blood and fire. I stood at the window of the high tower, where the old Alpha once ruled, the cold stone beneath my feet warmed by the weight of my choice.This was mine now. Not gifted but claimed.Outside, the banners of the Western Pack stirred gently in the wind, deep navy and silver, stitched with the new sigil Donna had sewn herself, a crescent wolf howling over jagged mountain peaks. No longer Robert's sun and serpent. No longer Alpha King Zed's twin blades of unity.Ours.I could feel them, my wolves. Some still slept in their quarters below, others trained at the southern fields, keeping watch along the borders. But there was something else now threading through them, something I hadn't tasted since I was a girl running barefoot through the fores
