LOGINCaelrix’s POV"Go alone?" I echoed, my voice flat as my mind refused to believe a word. It rather tumbled over the words, trying to make sense of what Commander Vane had just suggested. "Abandon my own Pack on the eve of a massive invasion to go hunting through the woods by myself?" I asked at once."Are you completely out of your mind, Vane?" Exovyn interjected, stepping between us with his hands raised in frustration. "He's the Alpha, if Zoriven arrives and finds out Caelrix isn't standing on the battlements, he'll tear this entire fortress apart brick by brick!""Listen to me, both of you," Vane said, his voice steady and calm despite the tension burning between us. "Zoriven is coming here driven by a single, blind obsession, he wants a duel, one worthy of his rage.”He paused and looked between us. I signaled to him to go on.“He wants to face Caelrix, conquer him, and take his Luna back. If Caelrix is standing at the gates, Zoriven will focus every single warrior, every catapul
Zoriven’s POVThe large table in the office room rattled as I slammed both palms onto the surface, the map of the valley blurring before my eyes, replaced by a burning, red-hot haze of rage. My wolf was tearing at my insides, howling for blood, completely on the edge. I didn't want to look at logistics, didn't want to calculate distances. The only thing keeping my heart beating right now was the mental image of my claws ripping Caelrix’s throat completely out of his neck."Alpha, please, just look at the border layouts for one second," Kaelon pleaded, his voice raspy from hours of trying to get through to me. He pushed a piece of parchment towards my hands. "If we rush the main gates without establishing a full support, we are leaving the western flank totally exposed.”He paused and began flapping through papers, not aware he lost me at gates.“We need a logical, stepped approach. We don't even have a solid scout report confirming Seravyn is inside their walls just yet,” he added.
Caelrix’s POVZoriven? Here? The words echoed in my quiet bedroom, completely freezing the blood in my veins. My first instinct was to listen for the chaotic sounds of battle, the howling of enemy wolves, or the heavy clash of blades outside my windows. But the Black Stone packhouse was entirely silent, not even the slightest hint of a sound of war, no alarm bells ringing through the courtyard, and frankly, no shouts from my men. Zoriven had come all the way to my territory, but he hadn't brought an invading army with him.That felt wrong in the worst possible way.I stood frozen in the center of the room, my brows coming together as I struggled to wrap my mind around it. "What do you mean he's here?" I demanded, turning my sharp gaze toward Exovyn. "If he didn't bring his warriors to tear down our borders, what is he doing standing in our main hall?"Exovyn shook his head, his expression just as baffled and anxious as I felt. "I'm just as confused as you are, Caelrix. He arrived
Zoriven’s POVThe stack of Pack alliance papers on my desk sat completely forgotten. For the past three hours, my pen hadn't touched a single page. Instead, my mind was entirely consumed by a whirlwind of guest lists, security details, and ceremonial traditions. I was secretly speeding up the preparations for our wedding, pushing the elders to move the date up as fast as possible. I've kept it from Seravyn so far, hadn't told a single thing about it yet just to keep her pumped up. And truly, ever since the doctor confirmed she was carrying my child, a strange, deep feeling I couldn't explain had taken over my soul. All I knew was that I needed her officially sealed as my Luna as fast as possible.Finding out that Seravyn was pregnant had completely rewritten my entire world, I will be a father. A deep sense of pride spread through my chest every single time I pictured our future child. My love for her had grown into something massive, a heavy and beautiful weight that made my wo
Seravyn’s POVMy hands were shaking so hard I had to sit right back down in the armchair, the echo of Caelrix’s voice still vibrating inside my head, leaving a cold, tingling sensation behind my ears. I squeezed my eyes shut, pressing my palms against my head as if I could physically block out the memory of his voice. How that was even possible? I kept asking myself the same thing.I barely even communicate with my own wolf, and we aren't even in the same Pack any longer, yet his voice had cut through the distance like we were standing right next to each other.A sudden wave hit my chest, making it hard to even breathe. I had actually agreed to meet him, agreed to go see him tomorrow night.I had agreed to go beyond the northern border, to meet him at the old creek. What on earth was I thinking? I clawed at the fabric of my trousers, my mind spinning into a dark web of thoughts asking the same question but in different tones.I should have cut the connection the second I heard his
Caelrix’s POVHer voice, really her voice.It didn't echo in the dusty air of the spooky hut. It echoed deep inside the small holes of my own mind. It was soft, shaky, and completely real. The exact same perfect voice I had fallen in love with those beautiful years.The voice that had kept me clinged for years, that beautiful melody rang through my ears again.For a split second, my heart stopped beating, a cold wave of nothing but fear shot through me, giving me that illusion that for a split second, I was just imagining things. Then it moved to the fear that if I breathed out just too loud, the connection would snap and leave me in that total darkness again. But then, the warmth of her presence flooded my soul again, a wave of shaky, breathless relief washed over me."Seravyn!" I cried out in my mind, my mental voice loud and desperate. "Yes, it's me. It's Caelrix. Please, don't close your mind. Just hear me out. Please!""Caelrix?" Her voice came back, sounding completely shocke
Seravyn POV“What is this girl doing here? Her intense stare unsettled me more than anything else.“Why don’t you just ask her? She’s the one who stole our mate’s affection,” Naryvex, my wolf, said. I quickly pushed her out of my mind. I really didn’t want her claiming that Thessaly had actually w
Seravyn POVIt felt like the final chapter of my life had already been written.I still couldn’t understand why Caelrix would betray me like this. He had made me a promise. How could he change so drastically? What was he thinking, allowing the woman responsible for my parents’ death to become his
Seravyn POV“Why, Caelrix?” I whispered, hoping he would be honest with me. “You can’t just reject me without any explanation,” I added.“I already told you the reason. Omega, you need to face reality and accept it. I can’t and won’t be with someone as weak as you,” he said. I had meant those word
Seravyn POV“Caelrix…” I let out a moan, his name slipping from my lips in a breathless whisper.I could feel Caelrix inside me. I loved the way he touched me, the way he kissed me. He made me crave more with every second. I looked up at his face, which seemed a little blurry, but I knew this was
