FAZER LOGINCeleste POVThe machines had finally stopped screaming.That was the first thing I noticed.Not the voices.Not the movement.Not even Kharl still sitting there with the line attached to his arm.Just—Silence.Not complete silence.But the kind that felt… steadier.The kind that didn’t sound like something was slipping away.I stood where I had been the entire time, unmoving, my eyes fixed on Blaze.His breathing was still slow.Still uneven.But not as bad.Not like before.The doctor stepped back after checking the monitors again, her expression softer this time.“He’s stabilizing,” she said quietly.The words hit me slowly.Stabilizing.Not safe.Not awake.But—Not dying.I let out a breath I didn’t know I had been holding.My knees felt weak, but I forced myself to stay standing.I had to see him.I had to be sure.I stepped forward slowly, stopping beside the bed.My hand hovered over his before I finally placed it gently on top of his.Warm.Still warm.Tears burned behind my
Kharl POVThe moment I saw him—Everything else disappeared.The room.The people.The tension.All of it faded into the background like it didn’t matter anymore.Because there, lying on that bed—Was my son.I didn’t need anyone to tell me.I didn’t need proof.I didn’t need confirmation.I knew.It hit me like something deep and instinctive, something older than reason, something my wolf recognized before my mind could even process it.Mine.The word echoed inside me, loud and undeniable.He looked small.Too small.His skin was pale, his body too still, his breathing uneven in a way that made something in my chest tighten painfully.And yet—Even like this—I could see it.The resemblance.The shape of his face.The faint line of his jaw.The way his brow creased slightly even in unconsciousness.Pieces of me.In him.My throat went dry.For a second—Just a second—I couldn’t move.Then everything snapped back into place.“Alpha,” one of the doctors said urgently, pulling me out o
Celeste POVThe room felt colder today.Or maybe it was just me.I sat beside Blaze, my hand wrapped tightly around his, afraid that if I let go—even for a second—I might lose him.His skin was hotter now.Too hot.His breathing had changed.Slower.Heavier.Like each breath was a struggle.“Blaze…” I whispered softly, brushing his hair away from his damp forehead.He didn’t respond.Not this time.My chest tightened painfully.No.No, no, no…Not like this.The door opened quietly, and the doctor stepped in.I didn’t need to look at her face.I already knew.Still, I forced myself to lift my head.“Tell me,” I said.My voice sounded calm.Too calm.She hesitated.That was enough to confirm everything.“His condition is worsening faster than we expected,” she said gently.Each word felt like a blade.“We are running out of time.”I swallowed hard, my fingers tightening around Blaze’s hand.“How long?” I asked.The doctor’s silence stretched for a moment.“Hours,” she finally said.The
Kharl POVMy men and rode through the silent morning. I left as early as dawn.The forest grew quieter the deeper we rode.At first, I didn’t think much of it. The path we had taken was one of the lesser-used routes between territories, cutting through dense woodland and uneven ground. It was faster—but riskier.Normally, I wouldn’t have chosen it.But today wasn’t normal.Every moment mattered.Every second brought me closer to Golden Sky.Closer to Celeste.Closer to my children.The thought alone made my wolf restless beneath my skin, pacing, alert, almost impatient.Faster, he urged.I tightened my grip on the reins.“We push through,” I said to the captain riding beside me.He nodded.But I saw it in his eyes.He felt it too.Something was off. The air shifted and the hair in my body raisedI heard a faint rustle and then a asnap of a twig.Then—“Alpha!”The warning came too late.They dropped from the trees.Rogues.At least a dozen of them.Maybe more.They moved fast.Too fa
Lydia POVI didn’t sleep that night.Not even for a second.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the same thing.Kharl standing in front of Celeste.Looking at her.Looking at those children.The way he used to look at her before everything changed.The way he had never looked at me.My nails dug into the armrest of the chair as the thought replayed again and again.If he reached Golden Sky…If he saw them…Everything I had built would be gone.Not slowly.Not over time.Instantly.Because those children were not just children.They were heirs.True heirs of Blood Moon.And the moment Kharl acknowledged them—My place would disappear.Just like that.No argument.No negotiation.No second chance.I stood abruptly and began pacing the room.“No,” I muttered.“I will not allow this.”Stopping him.That was the only solution.The Seer had been right about one thing.Delaying wouldn’t help.As long as Kharl was alive—As long as he had the chance to meet them—The truth would come out.And
Celeste POVThe hospital room felt quieter than before.Too quiet.The kind of silence that made every small sound stand out. The steady beeping of the machine beside Blaze. The soft rise and fall of his chest. The faint hum of movement from the corridor outside.I sat beside him, my hand wrapped gently around his, watching every breath like it mattered more than anything else in the world.Because it did.Blaze stirred slightly, his brow creasing as if he was uncomfortable even in sleep.“Mom…” he murmured weakly.“I’m here,” I whispered immediately, brushing his hair back.He settled again, but not fully.Not like before.My chest tightened.The doctor’s words echoed in my mind.One day. Two at most.I closed my eyes briefly.No.I couldn’t think like that.I had to stay strong.For him.For all of them.A soft knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts.Before I could respond, it opened slowly.Rune and Alora stepped inside.Dad stood behind them, but this time he didn’t stop t
Celeste POVRyan presented me to the elders without ceremony, and that alone told me everything I needed to know.There was no dramatic announcement, no raised voice demanding recognition. He simply stood at Alpha Ryker’s side during the council session, waited for the murmurs to fade, and said, “F
The pain didn’t come all at once.It began as a tightening low in my belly while I was sitting in the garden, the late afternoon sun warming my skin as I watched the children chase one another between the trees. I had grown used to discomfort these past weeks—the weight, the aches, the constant awa
A month changed everything.I stood by the tall window of my room, one hand resting on the curve of my stomach, watching the late afternoon sun spill over Golden Sky Pack like a blessing. My belly was unmistakably round now, stretching the soft fabric of my gown, heavy and warm beneath my palm. Som
Celeste POVFive years.Sometimes I still wake up and have to remind myself that it has truly been that long. Five full years since the night my world split open and remade itself in the clinic, since three tiny cries rewrote everything I thought I knew about life, about myself, about love. When I
