Evelyn’s POV

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I noticed was that the blanket wasn’t over my head anymore. The morning light poured softly into my room, it was golden and warm. I sat up slowly, blinking away sleep, trying to convince myself that the man I saw in the garden was nothing more than a shadow of my imagination. I was also trying to convince myself that I didn't see a man, gazing into my eyes before I passed out. How in the world did I pass out when I was afraid? Am I that weird?

Before I could gather my thoughts, the doors burst open and a group of maids rushed in, their steps light but hurried.

“My Lady, it’s time for your bath,” one of them said with a cheerful smile. Behind her, another carried a silver basin filled with rose petals and glistening beads of honey. The air quickly filled with the scent of lavender, crushed jasmine, and a touch of wild mint, a fragrance that made my wolf, Sylvara, hum in delight.

“Are you preparing me for a royal feast or a ceremony?

    The ground trembled under the weight of clashing power. Kaela’s dark magic burst in red-black waves as she fought the goddess’s soldiers, Rhydian’s sword glinting beside her like a streak of lightning.I stood still before the barrier. It glowed in golden light and I felt like it was watching me like a living thing, waiting for me to make my decision. The air thickened around me, the scent of divine magic biting at my skin, warning me to turn back.Kaelith stirred within me.“You know the Moon goddess is watching,don’t you?” his deep voice rumbled in my head, low and ancient.“I am very much aware,” I whispered, my eyes locked on the rippling glow. “Our mate waits beyond that wall,” Kaelith growled, his tone edged with primal hunger. “Her soul still hums for us, even if her mind does not remember. Find her. Mark her. Make her ours again. No one— not goddess, not Alpha, not mortal, will stop us.”My lips curved into a shadowed smile. “You forget, Kaelith… I am a beast, same as you.”H

    The words hung in the air like a curse.For a long moment, I said nothing. The night wind howled across the cliffs, carrying the taste of magic and betrayal. My gaze fixed on the barrier, its light reflecting in my golden eyes,then I chuckled. “She truly thinks she can chain me,” I said at last, my tone quiet, almost dangerous. “I wonder what she's thinking now, that I will come and beg?.” I scoffed.“Preposterous,” Kaelith growled.Rhydian growled low. “The goddess has gone too far this time. She’s afraid of what you are, my Lord.”Kaela’s jaw tightened. “She’s not afraid,” she said bitterly. “She’s spiteful. The Lycan blood reminds her of her failure,the beings she created but couldn’t control.”I tilted my head slightly, studying the threads of power weaving through the barrier. It shimmered with divine essence…the kind that burned at my touch. Kaelith stirred deep within me, he was restless,and he snarled against the magic pressing down on us.“She’s severed my connection,” I murmu

    Dylen’s POVThe barrier shimmered before me,a thin veil of light stretched across the valley, pulsing with strange energy. It was supposed to be steady, calm, but now it felt alive, unstable… and hostile.I narrowed my eyes, my senses spreading like shadow tendrils through the space between realms. Something was wrong. The pulse wasn’t natural,it carried the taste of divinity. Of her…The Moon Goddess. Of course it did,she created it. But something felt off.“She's watching…” Kaelith whispered.My jaw clenched. Of course she was watching,she always does. I guess she's watching to know if I would back down.Then a movement caught my eye. Shapes… faint, blurred… crossing through the barrier. I took a step forward, the night stilling around me. It was them.A group of wolves. Among them, an older male,broad shoulders, hair streaked with gray. Hold a second, that's Evelyn's father and in his arms, was a girl. Her head rested against his chest, her hair catching the pale glow of moonlight.

    The willow swayed gently above me, its silver-green tendrils brushing the grass like fingertips stroking a harp. I sat beneath it, before a wide mirror that reflected me and the soft veil of mist curling through the air. The stillness around me was almost scary. There was no wind, no sound, just the faint murmur of my own breathing.Then… a sensation.A faint warmth trailed through my hair, like fingers parting each strand.I froze.My reflection didn’t move, she just sat there, perfectly calm, while I felt it.A hand. It felt real and warm.Sliding slowly down my hair to my shoulder. For some reason,I couldn't look back.My heart stuttered. “Who’s there?” I whispered, my voice swallowed by the mist. No one answered. Yet through the mirror, I could feel his presence behind me,it was close enough that his breath grazed the shell of my ear.Then his voice came, low and deep.“Avelynne…”My pulse jumped. No one had called me that name, not even Sylvara.“You look so gorgeous…”The words w

    A burst of white light swept through the courtyard, flooding every corner with divine brilliance. The force of it knocked the breath from my lungs, and for a moment, all I could do was shield my eyes. When I finally dared to look up, the world had shifted, the heaviness that had pressed upon us moments ago was gone.The Alphas, who moments before had been crushed beneath Dylen’s aura, gasped in unison, their bodies trembling as the divine energy cleansed the space. The Moon Goddess’s magic had washed over the courtyard. What a relief.Every Alpha dropped to their knees. Heads bowed low. No one dared to look at her directly.“Blessed be the Moon,” they whispered in unison.I followed their lead, lowering my head as my heart raced. I could feel her power which felt smooth and infinite. It was as though the stars themselves had descended to stand upon our earth. Her presence was gentle, yet heavy enough to make Sylvara whimper softly inside me.Footsteps echoed softly,the ground responde

    Everything happened too fast for my mind to keep up.Raya, the one beside him changed too. The faint golden light that had touched her body pulsed once more, and her aura thickened like a storm cloud. The air warped around her, her eyes glowing faintly crimson. Every Alpha around the courtyard dropped their heads lower, trembling as her presence clawed at their strength. She wasn’t the calm and kind Raya I had seen earlier, this one looked lethal. A being carved for war.And still, none of them could raise their heads.The Alphas were on their knees. Their wolves whimpered. Even the strongest of them dared not breathe too loudly. I stayed frozen where I knelt, my heartbeat pounding so loud I could feel it in my throat.Then he moved.The man — no, the creature — began to walk toward me slowly,his steps were unhurried. Each step carried weight, each movement deliberate, echoing against the quiet like thunder. The courtyard floor cracked slightly beneath his feet. And even though his
