LOGIN“It's all in the past now, let's move on…” Charles's eyes softened at her words but hers were nothing but dead cold. “I want to make up for everything…” “Just go!” She cuts in. Charles looked at her one more time as tears trickled down his cheeks. “Is this what you want?” He asked but got no reply. Seeing how deadly serious she was, he turned and left. *** She's just a poor, beautiful orphan, and he's the heir of the most powerful pack, and they're both best of friends. Anne had a crush on Charles since they were still kids but Charles saw her as nothing but a good friend, one every good person should have. Anne lived with her feelings unrequited until Charles came home drunk one night, and both had sex. They both agreed to leave the one-night stand aside and move on with their lives, but what happens when Anne finds out she's pregnant and Charles finds his mate? Would she still be able to move on?

Some with hope, some with fear, all unaware of the weight in my throat, the knife-edge of destiny balanced inside my hands.I looked at Charles.At the man I once loved in silence.At the man I tried to forget and failed.At the man I might lose forever.His eyes never left mine, not once, not even when pain flickered behind his calm expression like lightning behind clouds. He was afraid. But he stood firm.For me.For his father.For this moment.My voice came out soft and trembling.“I will take the fourth path.”Gasps erupted around the chamber. The healers froze where they stood. The King’s eyes widened, filling with grief and gratitude at the same time.Charles stepped back as if the words had struck him physically.“No,” he whispered, almost breathless. “Anne, you said you would not sacrifice y
Chapter 24Before the Moon DecidesAnne POVI could not sleep.Not for a second.The moment the words I love you left my lips, everything inside me twisted into a storm that refused to rest. The night stretched endlessly ahead. Every hour felt like sand slipping through my fingers, faster than I could hold.The moon would reach its peak soon.And when it did, I would have to choose.The room they gave me was warm, the bed soft, the air faintly perfumed with herbs from the healer’s gardens. Yet I lay awake staring at the ceiling, counting my breaths the way doctors do to steady trembling hands.My heart had never listened to such logic.If I save the King, I risk losing Charles to death.If I save Charles, his father dies.If I save both, I lose my memories of him.Every laugh. Every pain. Every night. Every look.And the fourth option sounded like the cruelest blessing ever given.The room door creaked softly.I turned.Charles stood there without armor, without a title, only a man wi
Chapter 23A Choice With No EscapeAnne POVI gasped when my eyes flew open. The chamber burst back around me like a world rebuilt. The Alpha King lay breathing on the bed, his pulse faint but steady. Charles staggered beside me, one hand gripping the headboard to stay upright. Sweat clung to his forehead and shadows bruised the space beneath his eyes.We were back.Alive.But my heart felt like a torn page.I remembered every word the Seer spoke. Every path. Every price. Every thread I might have to cut.Charles looked at me the moment he regained balance. His voice was hoarse, stripped raw.“Do not choose that option. Do you hear me?”I swallowed hard, unable to answer. The pendant he gave me still rested in my palm, warm like living metal. Like his heartbeat made solid.The Alpha King opened his eyes weakly. “You saw her.”“Yes,” I whispered.“Did she give you the answer you needed?”A tremor ran through my body. “She gave four answers. None of them painless.”Charles’s fist tighte
Chapter 22The Fall Between Light and ShadowAnne POVFalling had no beginning or end. It felt like being pulled through water and air and fire all at once. There was no ground beneath me, no ceiling above me, nothing to grasp but Charles’s hand in mine. His grip was the only real thing in the collapsing world of smoke and broken magic.My heart battered my ribs. The rush of wind roared in my ears. I could not breathe. I could not think.Then everything stopped.Not slowly, but suddenly, violently, like crashing into silence.I opened my eyes.We were no longer inside the curse.We were somewhere deeper.A place neither light nor darkness claimed.It looked like a vast endless field of white mist stretching forever, like walking inside the heart of a dream. The world was too quiet. Too clean. Too still. My breath fogged the air even though it was not cold.Charles stood beside me, still holding my hand. His chest was rising fast, but his eyes were sharp, alert.“Do you know where we a
Chapter 12The Truth I Never WantedAnne POVI do not know how long I sat in that hallway. Minutes felt like hours. My hands wouldn’t stop shaking, and my heart kept slamming painfully against my ribs. Every time I tried to breathe, it felt like someone was tightening a rope around my chest.I buri
Chapter 11The Alpha King’s WishAnne POVThe room was dim, lit only by the faint glow of a lantern resting on a nearby table. The air smelled of herbs, smoke, and something far heavier. Something that clung to the back of my throat and made my heart tighten with each breath.I stood frozen at the

Chapter 7The Midnight KnockAnne POVThe moment I closed the bedroom door behind the kids, I finally allowed myself to breathe. My legs felt weak, like someone had poured sand into my bones.
