CHAPTER 10 - ESCAPE AND PAINFUL TRUTH

I ran. My legs moved on their own, as if no longer controlled by my common sense. Breathless, my heart beating so fast it felt like it was going to explode. There was only one word in my head: run. Run from the reality that didn't make sense. Run from the wolf figure with familiar gray eyes. Run from a world that suddenly turned into a nightmare.

Kael shouted my name from behind, but I didn't look back. Couldn't. Wouldn't. His voice sounded desperate, but I didn't care. What I needed now was distance. Distance from all these lies.

Tree branches scratched my arms as I ran through the forest. Protruding roots almost made me stumble several times, but I kept running. Tears flowed heavily down my cheeks, mixed with sweat and dust. I didn't know how long I ran, but when I finally reached home, my lungs felt like they were burning.

I slammed the house door hard, the banging sound echoing throughout the room

    CHAPTER 45 — THE BLOODY RITUALPOV: AuthorIn the midst of a dark valley untouched by moonlight, there stood a hidden ancient stone structure, its interior emitting a faint red glow. The Hunters' base camp was no ordinary war encampment—it was an ancient magic fortress restored through blood, life, and curses. Here, the night dwellers gathered; not just humans, but those who had forsaken their humanity in exchange for power.The eerie atmosphere of the place was shattered by the long creak of the metal door on the north side. The door opened with a deep sound, as if revealing a gap between the world of the living and something darker. And from within the thick black mist of magic, a young woman stepped forward.Luna.Her steps were light, yet each one emanated an aura that vibrated through the air. Her eyes were cold, and her lips were stretched into a mocking smile that didn’t reach her gaze. Her clothes were ragged, covered in remnants of vomit and dried blood—one last act as a vict

    CHAPTER 44 – ON THE EDGE OF AWAKENING.The night sky loomed dark above Silverwood, hiding the stars behind a veil of thin clouds like a gray shroud of time. In the distance, a light drizzle began to fall, gently soaking the wooden rooftops of Kael’s ranch and releasing the sharp, fresh scent of earth and green grass—once trampled by the thousand steps of wolves. There, in the stillness of a night that had forgotten how to breathe, two souls stepped onto the grounds with steady strides.Aria and Kael approached the ranch with heavy breath. The air was cold and biting, but they didn’t shiver. Something colder had touched them already—ever since the news from Blue Stone, ever since Kael’s howl of grief had shattered the silence of the world.The heavy wooden door creaked open as they arrived, met by a wave of warm air from inside and the low howls of the guarding wolves. No one spoke, but every eye followed Aria

    Chapter 43 – THE UNDYING FLAMEPOV: AriaThe night air still blanketed Silverwood in a lingering chill, though not as piercing as the nights before. Something had shifted—maybe because the tension had hardened into resolve, or because the fear within me had found a defined enemy. The road ahead was still dark, but I no longer felt alone.I sat on the edge of an empty bed in the clinic, right where Luna had once lain. The scent of herbs and antiseptic still hung in the air, but there was no stir from the blankets, no breath from the sister I loved. Only the faint trace of her presence remained, incomplete and fading.Then a familiar sound floated in through the open window—soft, yet searing. A long, deep howl full of pain. My body shot up at once.Kael.I didn’t wait. My feet moved before my mind even issued the command. I pushed the clinic door open and froze. There he was—a massi

    CHAPTER 42 — A LIGHT BEHIND THE CURTAINThe night air still held a biting chill, slipping through the cracks in the old wooden walls of Dr. Hayes’ clinic. Even though the hearth in the corner glowed softly and the oil lamp hanging from the ceiling cast a warm golden light, the wind outside still managed to creep along the skin with a gentle but relentless cold. The clinic—usually the safest refuge—felt too quiet tonight. Too fragile.The lamp’s glow sent tiny shadows dancing across the walls and table, as if something alive lurked behind every corner. The scent of herbs and alcohol from the small medicine shelf dominated the air, mingling with the aroma of gently steaming chicken soup from the clay bowl on the center table. Across from me, Dr. Hayes gently pushed that bowl toward me.“Here. Sit. Eat something before your body completely gives out,” he said softly, though there was weight in his voice. It

    CHAPTER 41 — TRACES OF POISON.I don’t remember exactly when I fell asleep.Maybe it was right after we arrived in Silverwood, or maybe it was my body, too exhausted, finally giving in to the toll of the journey and the constant tension I had been carrying.All I remembered was the sound of the river outside the window, flowing gently, and the embrace of the night—comforting, for the first time in a long while.It felt like breathing in a safe place.The air I drew in met no resistance. Not like the nights before, when every breath felt laced with caution.Now, my body finally softened—like fabric slipping free from a hook. For a moment... I could be fragile.I sat in a wooden chair by the window of the tiny bedroom in Dr. Hayes’ clinic.Moonlight filtered through the cracked frosted glass, casting a soft reflection on the tiled floor.I stared at the full moon as it emerged fully

    CHAPTER 40 — ASH BENEATH THE SKYThe night forest had turned into something foreign. There were no hoots from night birds, no rustling from small creatures. It was as if the world held its breath—watching as three shadows streaked through the darkness like black lightning. Only the whisper of the wind and the soft crunch of dried leaves underfoot resonated now and then as sharp claws touched the ground.Kael led the way. His wolf form stood tall, his jet-black fur glistening under the moonlight. His golden eyes burned like embers in the night, speaking volumes without words: anger, fear, and resolve. Marcus, burlier and covered in reddish-brown fur, followed with heavy breaths. Each of his steps pounded like war drums against the cold earth. Behind them, Elena ran in near silence. Compared to the other two, she was sleeker and more agile, her reddish-gray fur shimmering like flames dancing in the wind.The three of them moved as one,
