Dying Was Easier Than Loving Him Chapter 121
Lucas’s POVThe cold wind coming off the northern peaks smelled of rain and ozone, but beneath the weather lay the metallic tang of burnt silver.I kept one hand on the stone battlements of the eastern gate, watching the distant treeline where the signal flare had vanished into the low clouds. Amelia stood next to me, her knuckles white where she gripped the icy parapet.Without her wolf, her skin was cool to the touch, lacking the quiet heat that every shifter carried beneath their pulse. It made my chest tighten with a sharp, feral rage I had to keep locked down under a surgeon’s discipline.“She walked right through,” Amelia said softly, her breath clouding in the night air. “Gabriella didn’t break the outer wards. Someone pulled the iron pins from the inside.”“We have three guards stationed at the watchtower,” Damien said, stepping up the stone stairs behind us with Serena at his heel. His Alpha aura surged around him like a heavy current, pressing against the atmosphere of the c

Amelia’s POVThe cold air of the hall felt like ice against my skin, but it was nothing compared to the shock freezing the blood in my veins. Theo stood in the center of the room, his hand clamping down around my wrist like an iron band. The quiet, timid young man we had brought in from the coast was gone, replaced by someone whose posture radiated absolute, predatory confidence.His eyes glowed with a brilliant, golden light that burned straight into my soul. Deep inside his chest, a low, murderous rumble vibrated through his ribs... a sound I knew better than my own name. It was my wolf. She was trapped behind his ribs, snarling against the cage of his stolen flesh, desperate to claw her way back home to me.“Let go of her, Theo,” Lucas said, his voice dropping into a dangerous, deadly register as he took a slow step forward. “You have three seconds to pull your hand back before I rip it off your arm.”Theo scoffed and tightened his grip, pulling me a fraction of an inch closer to h
Dying Was Easier Than Loving Him Chapter 119
Lucas's POVDawn broke over the pack grounds with a pale, cold light that offered no real warmth, casting long, stark shadows across the grass where every enforcer in Silverpine stood poised and silent.I waited at the center of the clearing beside Damien, the atmosphere thick with a low, collective hum of nervous tension as every wolf in the pack sniffed the wind for any hint of danger. A few steps behind me, Amelia stood with her hands clenched into fists at her sides, her human scent sharp with unmasked anxiety, stretching the invisible thread of our mate bond taut against my ribs.I had spent my entire life walking into dangerous rooms alone, refusing to let anyone share my burdens, yet the strangest part of this morning was how badly I wanted to pull her behind me and how clearly I knew she would refuse to stay there.After Aldric's warning in the archive, none of us had slept properly. The thief was inside Silverpine's walls, wearing a face we trusted. Every familiar voice, eve
Dying Was Easier Than Loving Him Chapter 118
Gabriella’s POVThe diner was dead quiet at closing time, save for the rhythmic squeak of my sponge moving back and forth across the sticky formica tabletop.My golden hair had long since been cropped short and dyed a dull, mousy brown to blend in with the greasy atmosphere of a coastal town two states away from Silverpine. My hands were rough, blistered and perpetually smelling of industrial dish soap and stale coffee... a life of honest physical labor that the old Gabriella would have sneered at with venomous contempt. I didn’t look at myself as a redeemed soul and I certainly didn’t think I was a good person. I was simply tired, carrying an exhaustion that went straight down to my bones. Yet, delivering that frantic warning to Amelia at the pack border months ago remained the single thing I had ever done that served zero selfish purpose. The strange, quiet hollow in my chest since that night was the closest thing to peace I had ever known.“You’re burning the midnight oil again,
Dying Was Easier Than Loving Him Chapter 117
Amelia's POVI barely noticed the scent as I stood in the doorway with my mother's hand still warm and trembling in mine.Aldric studied me with an aching tenderness, looking at me the way a man might look at someone he had waited three long centuries to meet. He didn't rush his words, choosing instead to let the heavy silence settle over the room before he spoke.“Your wolf was never taken by the Hollow,” Aldric said plainly, his golden eyes steady as he crossed his arms over his chest.A sharp breath caught in my throat. “What do you mean?” I asked, my fingers tightening around my mother's wrist. “The guardian said the price had to be paid.”“The Hollow's price was paid in full the exact moment the doctor took the keeper's seat,” Aldric explained, shaking his head. “What happened afterward had nothing to do with the mountain. It was theft. In the precise instant the seal closed, a thread of your wolf's spirit was pulled out through the fissure in the earth.”He paused, pressing a ha
Dying Was Easier Than Loving Him Chapter 116
Damien’s POVThe gray, pale light of pre-dawn hung over the ancient grove like a shroud of wet wool as I stood at the perimeter with every enforcer in Silverpine lined up at my back.My wolf was bristling aggressively right beneath my skin, scratching at my ribs with a restless panic that made my hands twitch against the hilt of my blade. The fissure in the earth, which should have been locked tight after Evans paid the debt, was glowing with a blinding, ethereal silver radiance. A tall, gaunt figure staggered out of the rising mist, its skin as pale as polished bone and its eyes burning with the soft, endless gold of the founders’ spirit wolf.It moved with the clumsy, careful uncertainty of a newborn deer learning how to use its legs for the very first time. Each step seemed to demand an effort it barely understood, as though its body had forgotten the simple act of walking during centuries of confinement.My animal instincts screamed that it was a threat, a parasite crawling out
