Malrick’s POV The moment I stepped out of Sage's cell, I didn’t hesitate. I didn’t breathe. I didn’t allow the chill that crept into my spine to settle. I marched straight down the corridor and summoned the guards.“Wake the council,” I barked. “Tell them I’ve called an emergency session. Now.”They didn’t question me. They obeyed. I had cultivated that fear well.Within the hour, the council chamber was alight with torches and whispers. Elders filed in wearing hastily donned robes, some were still bleary-eyed from being roused in the dead of night. The storm outside echoed the turmoil I had been feeding them for days.Elder Myra took her seat last. Her sharp gaze found mine immediately. “This better be worth our time, Malrick.”I stood at the head of the table, postured tall. “It is. Sage is slipping. Fast. I’ve just come from his cell.”Murmurs rose.“He spoke,” I said. “Clearly. Coldly. But not as our Alpha. As something else.”Myra narrowed her eyes. “Are you saying the curse is

Sage POV The torchlight flickered as footsteps echoed down the narrow corridor leading to my cell. I didn’t lift my head at first. It was probably just another round of guards coming to gawk at the cursed Alpha in a cage. But the steps were light and cautious."Psst," a voice whispered. "Alpha. Get up."My eyes snapped open. A young guard stood at the bars, hood pulled low over his face. His hands trembled, but his voice held something I hadn't heard in days.Loyalty."What did you just call me?""Alpha," he repeated, firmer this time. He glanced over his shoulder before pulling a set of keys from beneath his cloak. "I don’t have long. The council thinks I’m on watch duty at the west gate."I rose slowly, the chains around my wrists clinked. "You realize what you’re doing could get you executed.""So would stay quiet while Malrick destroys everything you built."The lock clicked, and the cell door creaked open. I didn’t hesitate. As soon as I stepped out, I caught the guard by the sh

Bella’s POV The moon was high. Silver light rippled across the lake, and I could feel it in my bones—that tug, deep and ancient, growing stronger by the second. I stood at the edge of the forest, my arms wrapped tightly around myself as if I could somehow hold the restlessness inside.June’s hand brushed my shoulder. “You don’t have to go through this alone.”I turned to look at her. Her eyes were soft, steady. “I know. But I’m starting to think that maybe I do.”She frowned. “What are you talking about?”Harper stood a few feet behind her, arms crossed, her silhouette sharp in the moonlight. “She means she’s tired of running. Aren’t you?”I didn’t answer right away. My mind was a tangle of old fears and new truths. Malrick. The blood rites I never asked for. The rogue in the woods. Everything was catching up to me.“I can’t keep hiding like this,” I finally said. “If they want me that bad, they’ll find me anyway.”June stepped closer. “Then let them come. We’ll fight.”“You don’t ev

Bella’s POV After walking for hours, I finally arrived at a small town. The town looked like something out of a painting—quiet, still, and wrapped in morning fog. I hadn’t even known its name when I arrived, only that it was off the main highway and surrounded by mountains thick with trees. The kind of place you could disappear in.Perfect.I used a name that wasn’t mine—Leah Ward. I lied that I was just passing through, maybe staying a few weeks. No one asked too many questions, not here. I could breathe again, kind of.I looked around and I spotted a cafe. The café was small and warm, tucked between a bookstore and an old barber shop. I saw the sign—Wolf Pine Café—and something in me stilled. I almost turned away, but my stomach growled louder than my instincts. I stepped inside.The bell above the door jingled.A man behind the counter glanced up. Dark hair. Slate-gray eyes. His jaw ticked when he saw me, like he was trying not to react too quickly. He looked me over, not in the w

Bella’s POV I jolted awake, heart racing, sweat slicked my back. The garage was still. My leg ached, but the bleeding had stopped. The dream clung to me, the whisper of my father’s voice echoed in my mind.I sat up slowly, pulling the thin blanket around my shoulders.And that’s when I heard it.Liam’s voice. Low. Steady. From just outside the door.He was on the phone.“She’s here,” he said. “I’m sure of it.”There was silence and then, softer: “No. She hasn’t said anything yet. But I’ll keep watching.”My heart dropped. He wasn’t just a café owner. And I wasn’t just a runaway anymore.I didn’t say a word about the call, nor did I flinch. I didn’t ask questions either.When Liam stepped back inside and saw me wide awake, I let my eyes drift shut again, pretending to sleep. He didn’t say anything. He just watched me for a moment before turning off the light and walking away.I laid there till morning, heart pounded so loud I was sure he’d hear it through the walls.But if he suspecte

Bella’s POV “Say it,” I snapped. “You think I’m that wolf?”His silence was all the answer I needed.“You’ve been watching me like I’m a threat.”“No,” he said finally. “Like you’re a target.”I narrowed my eyes. “That supposed to make me feel better?”He stepped closer, and I instinctively took a step back.“I didn’t know for sure at first,” he said. “But the way you fought that rogue… the way you healed. Something’s different about you.”“You don’t know anything about me.”“I know your scent changed the moment you crossed into this town. I know there’s power humming under your skin that most wolves don’t carry. And I know others are looking for you.”My chest tightened. “Who?”He didn’t answer.I turned sharply. “We’re done here.”“You need to be careful,” he said. “If they find you first—”“I said we’re done.”I shifted before he could say another word, bones snapping, fur bursting through skin as I let the wolf take over. My wolf didn’t hesitate. She bolted through the trees, hea

Harper’s POV The dream didn’t feel like a dream. It started like falling—only slower. The room around me disappeared. The sound of the wind outside the lake house faded into a strange, pulsing silence. I was no longer lying on the couch but standing in a forest I didn’t recognize, shadows weaving between the trees like smoke. The sky was a dull red, the kind of color that came right before disaster.Then I saw her.Bella.She was in wolf form, her fur slick with blood, eyes wide and wild. She stumbled, clearly injured, but kept running, limping through a thick underbrush. Something followed her—something fast, something not entirely solid. I couldn’t see it clearly, only the way the trees seemed to recoil when it passed. Then I heard a voice, older than anything I’d ever known.“The marked wolf cannot hide. The hunt has begun.”The image flashed, and Bella’s human face appeared—eyes pleading, lips trembling. She reached out, mouthing something I couldn’t hear—I jolted awake, gaspi

Bella POVI woke up choking on smoke. My lungs felt clogged as I shot up from the floor, coughing and swiping at the air. The mattress I’d been sleeping on was torn to shreds, and the front window was shattered. Moonlight illuminated the room—right onto the three snarling wolves standing in the middle of the room. I didn’t think so. I shifted.Bones cracked and skin split, and the pain of the transformation barely registered. My wolf hit the ground running, claws scrabbled across the wood as I dodged a lunging gray brute with scars across his snout. One of them managed to land a slash along my side. Fire raced through my ribs. I howled, more in fury than pain, and leapt through the broken window.I ran as fast and hard as my legs could. Branches tore at my fur as I barreled through the trees. Behind me, paws thundered. They were following me. Of course they were.But I knew these woods now. I veered hard left, ducked under a fallen log, and doubled back. It threw them off just enoug

Bella’s POV The next morning, June was already up when I stepped into the kitchen, pacing in her new black flats and whispering something under her breath. Her blazer sleeves kept slipping past her wrists, and she didn’t bother fixing them. Her hair was frizzing at the ends from nerves, and her coffee sat untouched on the counter.“You’re going to chew a hole in the floor,” I said, stifling a yawn as I reached for a mug.She turned, eyes wide. “Do I look like a secretary? I feel like a toddler playing dress-up.”I grinned. “A very professional toddler. You’ve got this.”She laughed—barely—and took a shaky sip of coffee. “I keep thinking they’ll take one look at me and realize I have no idea what I’m doing.”“That’s what starting anything feels like,” I said, patting her shoulder. “Just smile and pretend you know exactly where you’re going. That’s ninety percent of any job.”June’s nervous energy buzzed around the apartment, but it was a good kind. The kind that came from a normal day

Bella POVThe smell of strong coffee hit me before I even opened my eyes.Harper’s blend—bold, nutty, with just a hint of something sweet—wafted from the kitchen. Somewhere in the apartment, Liam was butchering a pop song, his voice cracked in the hallway like an off-key siren. June was mumbling something about not having anything to wear, and the kettle whistled in the background.This morning, I didn’t wake up reaching for a weapon. Didn’t wake up braced for screaming. Or smoke. Or blood.I stretched slowly, the sheets tangled around my legs. My bones didn’t ache. My wolf didn’t whisper warnings. I just... existed. In the softness of the morning. In the warmth of our apartment."Coffee’s hot, toast is questionable!" Harper called out."I swear if it's burnt again, you're banned from the toaster," I replied, dragging myself upright and walked barefoot across the wooden floor.Liam stood shirtless by the sink, flipping the toast like it was a pancake and grinning like a kid. “Perfectl

Sage POV I didn’t move for hours. Could’ve been a trap. Probably was. But the food didn’t rot. It stayed warm. Clean, no flies, no magic stink. Just food.And I was starving. I didn't realise when I rushed to the food and ate it. The meat was rich, real—flavored with something faintly herbal. I devoured it before I could think too hard about the consequences.She came again the next night. Same time. Same place. Same food. No words. No questions. Just her.I watched from higher up in the trees that time, cloaked in shadows. She sat longer. Sang a different song. This one was... sad. My wolf leaned forward in my head, ears perked.She smelled like memory. Like something I should know.It kept happening. Dusk after dusk. She never brought fire, never wore shoes. Her breath fogged in the cold, but she didn’t shiver. The forest began to settle around her. Birds followed. Deer peeked from the edges of the trees. Even the cursed places began to slow their spread.She was changing somethin

Sage POV Something felt wrong the moment I stepped into the clearing.It wasn’t just the cold or the silence—this quietness ran too deep. The kind that seeps into your bones and warns you you’re not alone. My paws sank into the frostbitten soil as I crept forward in beast form, every muscle tensed. The scent hit me a second later.Rot, decay and worse—blood magic. I froze instantly. The trees ahead weren’t just dying—they were blackening. The bark split and blistered, oozing dark sap like blood. Leaves had withered mid-branch, and the ground was slick with a sickness that pulsed through the earth. I growled low in my throat.Someone was poisoning the forest. Not randomly—no, this was deliberate. It must be a message.Malrick. It had to be him. Who else would twist the land like this just to force me out of hiding?I should’ve turned around. Everything in me screamed to leave. But this was my territory. Mine. I’d hunted here. Bled here. Howled under a hundred moons. I couldn’t just w

Sage POVThe snow is deep tonight, it clung to my fur like frostbite waiting to happen. I move low to the ground, my body slink between trees that creak with cold. Every breath foghed the air. I haven’t shifted back in months—not since the dungeon. Not since Malrick.My beast form keot me safer out here. More muscle, better speed. The downside? I’m losing pieces of myself. Human thoughts came in fragments now—disjointed, buried beneath the instincts that snarl louder with each passing day.A branch snaps up ahead causing me to freeze, every muscle locked tight. My ears twitch. A low rumble builds in my chest, a warning to the night. I heard another snap, it was softer this time. Just wind or something watching?I sank back into the shadows. The patrols have been thicker lately. Malrick’s voice—his commands—they ride the wind like old songs I can’t stop hearing. I don’t know how many men he’s sent. Five? Ten? More? Doesn’t matter. I stay out of sight. Always watching. Always moving. Th

Bella’s POV The morning after I got my first A, I woke up to the smell of cinnamon and burnt toast.“Who let Liam near the stove again?” I called from the stairs.“I resent that,” Liam’s voice echoed up. “I’ll have you know this is a controlled culinary experiment.”“Controlled by what? Gremlins?” June giggled.I walked into the kitchen, rubbing sleep from my eyes. June was perched on the counter in mismatched socks, waving a spatula like a conductor’s baton. Liam stood proudly beside a skillet full of what looked like... slightly-charred pancakes shaped like wolves.“Are those ears or legs?” I asked, squinting.“Both,” he said without hesitation.“Harper, you’re seeing this, right?”She entered from the hallway in her oversized cardigan, her eyes were still soft with sleep. “I’ve learned not to question Liam’s methods before coffee,” she said, reaching for the pot.June held up a plate. “These are for you. Nurse Bella needs fuel.”“They’re actually really good,” Liam added quickly.

Bella’s POV The sky was ash when I found her again—June, leaning against the porch railing, a wool blanket wrapped tight around her shoulders. She didn’t look up when I stepped outside, just sipped from her mug like the world hadn’t tried to break her.“You’re gonna freeze out here,” I said, nudging her lightly.“I like the cold,” she replied.I didn’t have a response for that, so I just stood beside her and let the silence settle between us. Sometimes that was better than pushing. And lately, silence didn’t feel so heavy.Inside, Harper’s laughter drifted from the kitchen. She and Liam were cleaning up after dinner, arguing over who forgot to defrost the chicken. It felt normal. Safe. Like the council hadn’t carved messages into our door or hunted us through ancient forests.But even in that peace, a small ember inside me kept burning—restless, searching, quietly desperate for something more.I didn’t tell them right away.Weeks passed since we decided to stay. Weeks of healing, adj

Bella’s POV We left the house to a hotel to spend a few days and not raise any suspicion. The air in Ålesund felt different the moment we returned. The ferry ride back had been quiet—too quiet. June barely spoke, and Harper’s silence was thick with tension. Even Liam, usually steady, kept glancing over his shoulder like something was breathing down his neck.Now, standing on our front porch again, everything felt wrong.The snow hadn’t fallen naturally. It clung to the trees in odd clumps, too heavy, too still. The ravens had returned in droves, black feathers scattering across the drive like a warning. One perched on the porch railing, staring straight at June until she shooed it away with a flicker of energy that crackled in the air.“Don’t,” Harper said, voice sharp. “They're watching.”“They?” I asked.“Not just the Council. Something older. Something waking up.”Inside, the house was just as we left it, but colder. I could smell unfamiliar scents mixed into our own—cologne, swea

Bella’s POV The pendant flared white-hot. The ground beneath her feet cracked. Trees bent back like something had exhaled violently. Birds scattered from the branches, screaming into the sky.Liam lunged forward, grabbing her shoulders. “June! You have to control it!”“I don’t know how!” she screamed.Wind howled. Real wind. Not the kind from storms, but something summoned—something born.Harper raised her hands, murmuring an incantation. Runes lit beneath her fingers in sharp blue flickers. “Bella, keep her steady!”I rushed forward and grabbed June’s hand. She was trembling violently, her breath coming in gasps.“I don’t want this,” she cried.“But it’s already yours,” I said. “Let it in. Or it will tear you apart.”The pendant cracked down the middle, releasing a pulse of energy that knocked all of us back. I landed hard in the snow. When I sat up, June was on her knees, her chest was heaving—but calm. For now.The snow around her had formed a perfect ring of frost, etched with ru
