Chapter 6

Penulis: Peachy
Caden's POV

I didn't go to the Council.

Let them wait.

Let the Enforcers wait. Let the entire wolf world wait.

Only one thing mattered now.

I had to find her.

Bones snapped. Fur exploded from my skin. I was the wolf.

I tore through the night, a black-furred missile aimed at the mountain.

My paws hammered the frozen earth, devouring the distance.

The Ancient Altar was on a peak at the edge of our territory. A sacred place, blessed by the Goddess.

It was also the final stop for souls leaving this world.

But I wouldn't let her leave.

I couldn't.

The path was steep and treacherous. The snow made every step a struggle.

But I didn't stop.

Not when sharp rocks cut my paws.

Not when my blood dripped onto the snow, stark red against the white.

She was weaker than me.

She was gravely injured.

How did she make this journey?

The thought of her, dragging her broken body up these rocks alone, tore my heart to shreds.

Two hours later, I reached the summit.

The ancient stone circle stood silent, m

    Caden's POVI looked at Lyra’s crying face in the crystal and felt nothing but cold disgust."Caden, please, listen to me. The evidence is fake, I would never—""Enough."My voice was so calm it surprised even me."What?" She froze, tears still clinging to her lashes."I said enough, Lyra." I stood and walked to the window, my back to her. "The show is over.""Caden, what are you talking about? I don't understand—""You don't understand?" I turned to face her, looking her straight in the eye. "What about the memory stones? The recordings of dying screams you saved? The image of you standing on that hill, enjoying the slaughter?"Her face went pale."I...""And the treaty you signed. In your own name. With your own blood. Every filthy condition spoken in your own voice."Her mouth opened, but no sound came out."Eight years, Lyra. You lied to me for eight years." My voice turned to ice. "You used my feelings for you to make me your accomplice. You made me betray the Goddess's gift and h

    Caden's POV"You've ruined everything!" the Matriarch's voice boomed. "That outsider curse is finally gone, and you're going to defy the entire Council for her?"The crystal trembled in my hand."Do you have any idea what you’ve done to Lyra?" she roared. "That poor girl was falsely accused! She nearly lost her pup because of this stress!""Mother—""Don't call me Mother!" her voice grew shriller. "A real son—my son—would never hurt the woman he grew up with. Especially not for some outsider who is already dead!"Already dead.The words shot through me like silver."Lyra is carrying a pup. She needs your protection. She has loved you her whole life, suffered so much for you! And what did that Selene bring you? Nothing but shame and disaster!"I stared at the snowflakes outside the window. Each one was a reminder of what I had lost."It's over now. She chose to die, and it's a relief for everyone. You should be thanking her, not trying to avenge her!"Thank her?Thank her for ending thi

    Caden's POV"A Farewell Ritual?"My voice cracked. It was a raw, foreign sound on the empty balcony.The brilliant northern lights suddenly meant nothing.The surprise I’d planned for her felt like a sick joke. A mockery of my own stupidity."Where is Selene? How is she?"It was the first thing I asked.Not about the Council. Not about their so-called proof. Only her."Alpha, you need to calm down—""Answer me!" My roar shattered the flowerpots on the balcony. "Where is she?"Marcus's voice turned to stone."The Ancient Altar. She went alone, three hours ago. Our Betas found her, but it was too late. The ritual has begun. She's… fading from this world."My legs gave out."Three hours ago?" I gripped the railing, my knuckles white from the strain. "What the hell was I doing?"Silence."What was I doing?" I roared again."You were… talking to Lyra," Marcus’s voice was a dead whisper. "About the pup she’s carrying."The memories came flooding back.I did talk to Lyra. For a long time.Abo

    "Is there a problem?"Caden’s voice wasn't loud, but it cut through the murmurs like a blade. His Alpha command slammed down, and the entire hall fell silent.His arm was a steel band around my waist, his dark eyes scanning every face in the room.The wolves who had been whispering just moments ago now bowed their heads."No one was bothering me," I said, stroking his chest, playing the part of the fragile mate in need of protection. "Everyone was just concerned about me.""You're pale," he said, his brow furrowed as he studied my face. "Did the crowd make you uncomfortable?""A little. It's so many people. A bit overwhelming.""I'll take you to the sitting room to rest."He gave no one a chance to object, steering me through the crowd toward a small door off the main hall."Caden," the Matriarch's voice called from behind us. "The elders are still waiting to discuss—""Later," Caden said without looking back. "My mate needs me."In the sitting room, a warm fire crackled in the hearth

    "Really, Caden, it's fine. I shouldn't go to the First Snow Festival."It was Lyra's voice, laced with her usual fragile, wounded tone."Why not?" Caden's voice was softer than I'd ever heard it."It would only hurt Selene to see me. After all... our packs were neighbors. I couldn't bear to remind her of what she's lost."Neighbors?More like butchers and their victims."You don't need to sacrifice your own happiness for anyone," Caden said firmly. "You have every right to attend any pack celebration.""But looking like this..."I heard the rustle of fabric and could picture her caressing her swollen belly."You're beautiful," Caden whispered, his voice thick with an emotion he never used with me. "You're glowing."My stomach churned."I should stay home. This festival is for Selene. After everything she's lost... I couldn't bear to be the cause of even a moment's sadness for her."What a masterful, selfless performance."Wait."I heard a drawer slide open."Take this.""What is it?""
