The forest swallowed them whole.

Xavier slowed as the treeline thickened, the night air vibrating with the thrum of rotors overhead. The choppers circled low, close enough that branches snapped and leaves tore free, the canopy churning violently above them. Wolves pressed in around him, shadows between shadows, Malik’s men exactly where they had been ordered to wait.

Hidden.

Ready.

One stepped forward as Xavier and the others emerged, posture snapping into rigid respect.

“King Xavier,” he said

  • CHASING MONSTERS   249 - EVER AFTER

    (Pandoras Pov) TWO YEARS LATER Evergreen was quiet in a way that felt earned. Not the brittle silence that followed violence, nor the careful hush people kept when they were afraid of being overheard, but the deep, breathing calm that settled over land at the end of a long day. Fields stretched wide beneath the lowering sun, cicadas threading sound through the air. The earth itself seemed to loosen, as if it had finally exhaled after holding its breath for too long. Pandora stood at the kitchen window and told herself this was enough. The farmhouse crouched low against the land, weathered and imperfect. Paint peeled along the edges where the wind worried at it year after year. One porch step dipped slightly on the left side. Ethan had fixed it last winter, hammering until his hands blistered, muttering apologies when it didn’t come out straight. It still held. So did he. Pandora wiped her hands on a cloth and leaned her hip against the counter, bone-tired in a way sleep never

  • CHASING MONSTERS   248-FOREVER

    Sophie nearly laughed as they slipped down the corridor.“Come on,” Xavier murmured, glancing over his shoulder like a mischievous boy instead of a king. “We’re going to be late.”“Late for what?” Sophie whispered back, clutching Kaon closer as he wriggled happily in her arms.Xavier’s mouth curved. “You’ll see.”They moved quickly, ducking through side passages and lesser-used doors, avoiding the main halls where they could avoid people they knew. No one would miss them. Not for a little while.They had almost made it to the outer arch when a familiar voice stopped them cold.“And just where do you think you two are sneaking off to?”Betsy stood with her hands on her hips, eyebrow arched, clearly having clocked them the moment they tried to slip past.Sophie bit her lip to keep from laughing.Xavier straightened, schooling his expression into something serious. “Important Wolf Nation business.”Betsy’s eyes flicked to Kaon, then back to Xavier. “Is that so?”“Very important,” Sophie

  • CHASING MONSTERS   247-TWITCH

    (Magi’s Pov)Magi climbed the narrow spiral of the Mage Tower slowly, one hand resting against the stone wall as she ascended. The tower was old, older than most of the written histories, its steps worn shallow by centuries of careful feet. The air grew thinner the higher she went, not colder exactly, but charged, as though the tower itself listened. She had called the mages and Aurora away from the celebrations as they had a task to perform.She carried the stone wrapped in a simple cloth.Even concealed, it pulsed faintly, a steady warmth against her palm, patient and watchful.At the top, the chamber doors stood open.Fintan sat at the small round table near the window, pouring tea with deliberate care. Amara leaned back in her chair, eyes half-lidded in thought. Aurora stood near the balcony, gazing out across the Wolf Nation lands, sunlight catching in her hair.“You’re late,” Fintan said mildly.Magi smiled faintly. “Time has been strange since Wildbourne.”Aurora turned as Magi

  • CHASING MONSTERS   246-SAFE FROM MONSTERS

    The world was finally quiet.Not silent. Never silent. But softened, as though the land itself had exhaled after holding its breath for far too long.From the open window of their chambers, the sound of celebration drifted upward from the courtyards below. Music carried on warm air. Laughter rose and fell like waves. Voices were lifted not in command or fear, but in joy.The Wolf Nation was celebrating.Sophie sat on the edge of the bed, exhaustion heavy in her bones, watching Kaon lie in his cot nearby. He was awake, fists waving lazily, cooing as if narrating a private story only he understood. Every so often, he kicked one tiny foot against the blanket and looked immensely pleased with himself.She smiled despite herself.Xavier stood beside her, loosening the formal clasp at his collar. The king, the warrior, the Lycan, all of it had finally eased. What remained was simply the man she loved, looking as worn and human as she felt.She leaned into him, resting her head against his a

  • CHASING MONSTERS   245-HAPPINESS

    The great hall of the castle had never sounded so alive.Laughter bounced off the high ceilings. Music wound through the crowd like something warm and playful. Everywhere Ronan looked, wolves and former hunters stood shoulder to shoulder, drinking together, arguing good-naturedly, clapping one another on the back as though they had always belonged in the same room.After everything they had endured, it felt almost unreal.Shiloh walked beside him, her hand tucked firmly in his. She looked lighter tonight, as though some invisible weight had finally slipped from her shoulders.Her eyes moved across the room, bright with interest.“Oh look,” she said, tugging him gently to a stop. “There they are.”Ronan followed her gaze to one of the long tables near the far wall.Fintan sat deep in conversation with Ryder. Magi leaned close beside him, animated and smiling. Aurora laughed at something Kofi had said. Agatha and Betsy were already on their second round of drinks, both of them glowing w

  • CHASING MONSTERS   244-GHOSTS OF THE PAST

    Shiloh knew something was coming the moment Ronan took her hand.Not the easy way he usually did, playful and warm, but careful. Intentional. Like he was holding something fragile and dangerous at the same time.The throne room was still echoing with laughter and celebration behind them as they slipped out into a quieter corridor, leaving Sophie and Xavier wrapped in well-earned joy.Shiloh tried to smile up at him. “Are we escaping official duties already?”“Something like that,” Ronan said.There was a seriousness in his voice she didn’t often hear.They walked a little farther, away from the noise, away from the crowd, until the stone walls felt cooler and the air steadier.Ronan stopped.“We have someone in custody,” he said carefully. “Someone you might want to meet.”Shiloh blinked. “Another hunter?”“No.”His thumb brushed over her knuckles.“You can do this on your terms,” he went on. “There’s no rush. No pressure. But I wanted you to know the option is there.”Her chest tight

    Malik left before sunrise again. No kiss. No explanation. Just another clipped, “I’ll be back,” before he shifted and disappeared into the trees.Veronica stared at the empty space long after he’d gone, jaw tight. The distance between them grew a little more each day

    Shiloh brushed against my arm as we slipped between groups of people, keeping our heads low and our pace casual. No one questioned us. Everyone was distracted by the celebration. Good. That was the whole point. She leaned in, voice barely a whisper. “Do you think anyone suspects?” “Not unless the

  • CHASING MONSTERS   188-UNITY

    They dressed with the easy familiarity of two people who’d shared both battlefields and beds. By the time they made it down to breakfast, the palace already felt different. Lighter. Servants moved with an air of anticipation rather than dread. Wolves and hunters shared tables instead of eyeing each

  • CHASING MONSTERS   187-BREATHLESS

    Sophie woke to warmth and weight and the familiar feel of Xavier’s arm curved over her waist. For a few slow heartbeats, she stayed perfectly still, eyes closed, letting herself drift between sleep and waking. His chest moved steadily against her back, his breath soft at her neck, his palm spread w
