تسجيل الدخولTHIRD PERSON’s POV Snow was beating relentlessly against the thick glass of the central war room.Two full days passed since the bloodbath in the eastern swamp, and Blackcrest Castle felt like a cold stone tomb. Down in the quiet medical wing, Halil lay in a deep, silent coma. Machines were breathing for the massive Beta. Every passing hour felt like a heavy physical weight pressing down on the pack.Inside the war room, Kai stood over the heavy oak table. He stared blankly at a sprawling map of the continent. He was not sleeping. He was surviving on black coffee and raw, simmering rage.Heavy double doors swung open. General Gideon marched into the room, followed by three grim-faced border commanders. Gideon carried a thick stack of printed intelligence reports. He threw the papers onto the table."We have a massive problem," Gideon announced.Kai did not look up from the map. "My brother is dying in a hospital bed. I already have a massive problem. What is this?""This is a politic
THIRD PERSON’s POV His massive chest heaved with violent, erratic breaths. His hands shook uncontrollably. The feral adrenaline was crashing hard, leaving a raw, volatile beast far too close to the surface. His golden eyes still glowed with a dangerous, unnatural light.Nora walked across the room. She did not hesitate."Kai," she said softly.He did not hear her. He was watching Dr. Aris pull a bloody piece of silver shrapnel from Halil's chest. A low, menacing growl vibrated deep in Kai's throat."Kai, look at me." Nora stopped right in front of him.He blinked. His glowing eyes snapped down to her face. For a terrifying second, he did not recognize her. The beast was ready to attack anything that moved."It is my fault," Kai whispered. His voice was a harsh, broken rasp. "I was too slow. Aiden was standing right there, and I was too damn slow.""You killed him," Nora reminded him gently. "You saved us.""Halil took the blade for you," Kai choked out. His whole body trembled. "If h
AUTHOR’S POV.Alarms were blaring from every machine. Six royal medics surrounded the steel operating table, their hands moving in a frantic, desperate blur.Halil lay in the center of the chaos. Black blood was spilling from his chest, staining the pristine white sheets a dark, sickening red.Nora stood frozen at the foot of the table. Her white dress was ruined. Warm blood soaked through the thin fabric, clinging to her skin. She was shivering, but she refused to move. While the medical team fought to keep Halil on this side of the veil, her mind struggled to process the sheer volume of violence they just escaped."Push two milligrams of epinephrine!" Dr. Aris shouted over the screaming monitors. He was pressing thick gauze directly into the gaping wound. "The silver is spreading! We need to clamp that artery right now!"A nurse bumped hard into Nora's shoulder. "Queen Nora, you need to step back!"Nora planted her feet. "No.""You are in the surgical field!" Dr. Aris barked. He did
KAIFreezing rain pelted the thick canopy of the eastern swamps. Black water splashed violently against Kai’s gear. He was tearing through the waist-deep mud with brutal, unrelenting force. Thick, rotting vines dragged against his legs, but he shoved them aside . General Gideon and the elite strike team were moving right behind him. They were cutting a relentless path through the dense brush, their heavy boots sinking deep into the freezing muck."Keep the flank tight!" Gideon ordered over the howling wind. "We do not know how many mercenaries are guarding the perimeter! Watch the tree lines!"Kai did not care about mercenaries. He only cared about his wife.Suddenly, the sharp, distinct crack of a suppressed rifle echoed through the storm.Kai froze in the mud.That was Halil's weapon.Before Kai could even key his radio to ask for a status update, a chaotic eruption of automatic gunfire shattered the quiet swamp. The loud, deafening roar of assault rifles echoed from the north."A

HALILHis entire body was numb from the cold, but he ignored the physical pain. His mind was locked on the mission.A lone mercenary was patrolling the outer perimeter. The man was standing near the massive, rotting roots of a dead willow tree. He held an assault rifle loosely across his chest. He was smoking a cigarette. The tiny orange cherry flared in the dark while the guard took a deep drag.Halil did not hesitate. He sank slowly beneath the surface of the freezing water.While the mercenary was exhaling a thick cloud of gray smoke, Halil rose from the muck directly behind him.He wrapped one thick arm around the man's throat. He clamped his other hand firmly over the guard's mouth. Then Halil twisted violently. The man's bone crunched with a sharp, sickening pop.He dragged the limp body straight down under the black water.Bubbles broke the surface for a few seconds. Then, the swamp was still again. Halil moved forward like a phantom.He finally reached the solid ground of th
NORA’S POV. I groaned, struggling to pry my eyes open. “Our Luna decided to grace us with her consciousness.” A stern voice cut across the room. I made to sit up, but all my bones felt like they were crushed under the weight of a boulder. My eyes lingered around the room. It wasn’t like my room i
AIDEN’S POV I did the right thing. I was sure of it. Nora was no good. She couldn’t even bear me a pup, not even a female. Her body was frail, and clearly cannot carry my seed. I tightened my grip around my pen, as I scribbled some words onto the document, my heart in a completely different place
NORA’S POV “Don’t worry, there’ll be no need for that anyway.” I pulled away, as the maid tried to cover the scar on my face with makeup. The maid didn’t say anything, yet the glaring question was all over her face. A soft knock sounded against the door, “I’ll take it up from here, you may leav
NORA’S POV My heart stomped against my chest as I made my way to the lavish waiting area that led to Alpha Aiden’s office. I grabbed my clutch in one hand, my other hand trembled lightly. His secretary walked out of his office, her expression inscrutable. “He’s busy…” Her voice came out indiffere
