He Betrayed Me For A Human Chapter 38: The Silence After Light
The first thing I felt was not pain.It was absence.The world was too still, too bright, as if someone had stripped it clean of sound and color both. I tried to open my eyes, but the light that lingered behind my lids wasn’t the sun—it was something that had burned itself into me, white and relentless, like a scar carved in the soul.My lungs refused to work. Each breath scraped shallowly against my ribs, dry as ash. When I finally managed to move, a soft crack followed—stone breaking, frost giving way—and the sound felt almost foreign. It was the first proof that I still existed.The ground beneath me was cold.Not the ordinary kind of cold—the kind that seeped deeper, as if the earth itself remembered what had happened.When my sight adjusted, the world was wrong.Where there had once been trees, there was only smoke.Where there had been snow, there was glass—shards of ice fused into smooth, molten shapes that reflected the morning light. The explosion had swallowed everything in
He Betrayed Me For A Human Chapter 37: The Frostspire's Heart
The wind died at dawn.No bird sang. No wolf dared to breathe too loud. The world looked carved from glass—too still, too fragile, as if one sound could shatter it entirely.We buried the dead in silence. Snow covered their bodies faster than we could lay them down, as if the land itself wanted to erase the memory of what had happened. Julian led the last prayer, his voice hoarse, while I stood apart from the others, watching the horizon bruise darker with every passing hour.The light from the battle still lived in my veins, faint but restless. Every heartbeat left a trail of silver beneath my skin, like the echo of a star refusing to die.Cassian approached when the last grave was sealed. His cloak was torn, his face streaked with ash, but his eyes—sharp, unyielding—still carried the weight of command."We can’t stay here," he said. "The Frostspire’s close, but not close enough if another one of those things comes."Julian joined us, his armor still scorched. "The packs are shaken.

The howls still hung in the air when the wind shifted.Not just wind—something inside it. A whisper threaded with power, carrying through the valley and brushing against every wolf’s skin like a cold breath.The wolves fell silent all at once. Every gaze turned to me.I could feel it—how the call bound them, not by dominance or command, but by resonance. My pulse was the tether, my breath the rhythm that held them still.Cassian and Julian watched from the ridge, silent. The firelight flickered behind them, painting their faces in gold and fear.The Moon had chosen me once. Now the world seemed to kneel to that choice.I lifted my eyes to the blood-lit sky. "Send word," I said. "To every Alpha left breathing. Tell them to meet us at the Vale before the next full moon."Julian hesitated. "They won’t come. Not all of them. Some still think you died at the Summoning.""Then let them think death walks again," I said. "Maybe they’ll listen this time."Cassian stepped forward, his expressio
He Betrayed Me For A Human Chapter 35: The Echo of Wings
When he finally left to rest, I remained by the fire alone. My reflection flickered in the dying flames, and for the first time since the battle, I let myself unravel.The world had changed. Not just outside me, but within. My senses stretched further than they ever had—beyond the walls of the camp, beyond the forest. I could feel the pulse of distant lands, the grief of packs that didn’t even know my name. It was intoxicating. It was terrifying.This power wasn’t meant to be held by one. The creature had been right.I looked up at the moon, full and merciless, hanging heavy over the world. Its light washed the color from everything, turning even blood into silver."Is this what you wanted?" I whispered. "Is this what your gift was for?"The wind didn’t answer.But the fire flickered violently, as if stirred by something unseen.I stood slowly, my heartbeat syncing with the rhythm of the flames. Somewhere deep in my chest, something pulsed—slow, heavy, like a second heart. It was the
He Betrayed Me For A Human Chapter 34: The Price of Silence
The sky did not break like thunder.It tore—slowly, deliberately—like something alive peeling away the skin of the world.The sound was too vast for mortal ears. It crawled through my bones, vibrating in the marrow, until even my wolf whimpered inside me. The storm spiraled above the valley, swallowing the horizon in light and shadow, as though the moon itself had been devoured and was bleeding silver back into the earth.Around me, my pack howled.Some in defiance. Some in fear.Cassian’s hand closed around my arm, grounding me against the chaos."Elara, we have to fall back!"But there was nowhere to go. The air shimmered with power, raw and magnetic, pulling upward, as if the sky itself had turned into a living thing that wanted to breathe me in."Run where?" I said, my voice breaking under the wind. "There’s no running from this."Julian barked orders, voice half-drowned by the roar of the storm. My wolves formed a defensive ring, but the snow beneath them had begun to glow—thread
He Betrayed Me For A Human Chapter 33: The Moon's Debt
The forest was no longer silent.Something moved between the trees—slow, deliberate, too heavy to be wind, too soft to be beast. The shadows bent with it, swallowing the moonlight until the world turned bone-white and black.Julian’s hand went instinctively to his sword. Cassian’s growl was low, vibrating through the air like the warning of a storm. My wolves shifted around me, tense and restless, their eyes reflecting the faint silver glow above us.I didn’t move.Every instinct screamed to run, to shift, to fight—but beneath the pulse of fear, something else stirred. A pull. Familiar and wrong at once, like hearing a forgotten melody played out of tune.The wind shifted again."Stay back," I ordered softly.The command rippled through my pack. Snow crunched as they formed a defensive half-circle around me. Cassian moved to my right flank, Julian to my left—silent, ready.Then it stepped out of the treeline.Not a beast.Not a man.Something in between.The figure was cloaked in shad
