Sophia POV

I stood by the window, my fingers gripping the cold frame as I stared outside. Elena and the others were walking down the path, their figures slowly fading into the distance. I didn’t blink, I couldn’t. My chest felt heavy, and my throat tightened as I watched them leave, each step they took pulling something from deep inside me, something I didn’t know I still had. By the time they were out of sight, I felt hollow.

I hadn’t even realized that my vision had grown blurry until a tear slipped down my cheek, warm and uninvited. I quickly wiped it away with the back of my hand, but it was too late. More followed, spilling down like a dam had broken inside me. I drew in a shaky breath, trying to force myself to stop. I couldn’t cry, not me, not Sophia, the girl who always acted like she had no weaknesses. But the truth was breaking me apart piece by piece.

A sudden knock on my door startled me. My heart jumped into my throat, and I quickly stepped away from the window, w

    I watched Elena as she sat, her posture poised yet alert. Her eyes scanned the room, settling momentarily on Lykan. The intensity in his gaze suggested she had confided in him about the strangers. A silent understanding passed between them, unspoken but palpable. Seeing Elena fully back with us was a joy that overflowed. Her presence brought a sense of completeness we hadn't felt in days. I couldn't wait to share the good news with Cael, he has been asking about her incessantly, wondering if she had forgotten him. But the joy was tinged with unease. The way Elena and Lykan looked at the strangers, there was a tension, a silent recognition that sent a chill down my spine. I knew it was time to inform the Alpha and Elena, but Elena would be the perfect person. I leaned toward Elena and whispered, Can we talk outside? She nodded, rising gracefully. We stepped into the cool evening air, the distant hum of the city a stark contrast to the silence between us. Hi, Elena, I began,

    Lykan POV The journey back to the Black Mountain Pack was quiet, but there was a powerful energy in the air, one I could feel in my bones. It wasn’t just the relief of being home, it was the anticipation, the tension of what awaited us. As we approached the pack’s borders, the sight that greeted us made me slow my steps. The road ahead was lined with people, our people standing in rows, their faces filled with joy, pride, and something that went beyond simple loyalty. They weren’t just welcoming us back, they were celebrating a victory, a homecoming that carried the weight of survival and hope. Alpha Lykan, voices called out from all directions, rising like waves crashing against the shore. Some were shouting my name, others calling Elena’s, their cheers blending into a chorus of gratitude and love. Palm fronds were scattered across the road, a traditional gesture of honor, and many of the younger wolves had flowers in their hands, throwing them into the air as we passed. I gl

    Elena’s POV The journey leaving the Northern Range Pack back to our own felt heavier than I expected. There was silence, thick and unbroken hanging over us like a cloak. Even though we had achieved everything we came for, the weight of all we had seen, all we had endured, clung to our souls like shadows. Perhaps it was the memories of that cold land, or perhaps it was the faces we left behind, but none of us spoke for a while. Each hoofbeat of our horses against the dirt sounded louder than usual, like a slow drumbeat marking time. Strangely, the journey home seemed faster, as if the roads themselves were eager to see us leave that place of trials and return to familiar ground. Or maybe it was my heart, yearning for home, for the warm scent of the forest that belonged to us. The tall trees began to change around us, signaling the edge of the enchanted forest. And then I saw them, Scarlet people and the other witches waiting where the trees formed a natural archway. I blinked

    Elena’s POV The palace grounds felt unnaturally quiet that morning, as though the walls were whispering their goodbyes to me. We were preparing for the long journey back to our Pack, and every step I took through the corridors felt like a farewell to a chapter of my life, one filled with pain, revelations, and victories that had changed me forever. The Elders had gathered at the grand courtyard, their silver hair catching the gentle rays of the early sun. Their eyes, wise and filled with a strange mix of pride and sorrow, followed me as I approached. They had always been a presence that felt unshakable, rooted like ancient trees, guardians of traditions and truths too deep to be fully understood. When they spoke, their voices carried the weight of the gods whispers. We will pray for you, child, one of the Elders said, her wrinkled hand lightly brushing mine. Your path is heavy, but it is guided by the goddess herself. May the winds of the earth bear you swiftly home. I bowed my h

    Lykan’s POV For the first time since we arrived in the Northern Range Pack, I felt truly at ease. No enemies lurking in the shadows, no constant weight of war pressing on my shoulders. Tonight, we were treated like royalty, rooms with soft beds, warm fires, and quiet that felt like a luxury. The war was over, and for once, the world around me didn’t demand blood or strategy. Elena was stretched across my lap, her dark hair spilling like silk over my legs as I stroked it gently. Every time my fingers slipped through those strands, I was reminded of the moments I feared losing her. The battles we fought weren’t just for the pack but for this woman, this mate, this heartbeat that kept me sane. I’m happy we’re done with our mission, I murmured, my voice low, a mix of relief and pride. I placed my hand over her stomach, the gesture unthinking but full of meaning. And my little baby is still here. Her lips curved into a soft smile as she looked up at me. That smile alone could melt me
