Soraya's Pov

I was sitting in the garden two days after the pack meeting trying to clear my head. Everything felt overwhelming lately with Matteo being weird and threatening and my seal getting weaker and Darius dealing with pack problems. I just needed some quiet time to think and the garden was the only place I felt peaceful.

I was reading the book Mira gave me when I heard footsteps on the path behind me. I turned around expecting to see Irene or Chanterelle but instead there was a young wom

    Darius's PovI went to pick up Soraya and we drove back to the pack in silence. I kept glancing over at Soraya to make sure she was really there. Part of me still could not believe she had survived the ritual and was sitting here beside me alive and well."Stop staring at me," she said with a small smile. "I am not going to disappear.""I know. I just cannot believe you are really okay. When I left you with Elder Nahara I was convinced I would never see you again.""I almost did not make it. There were moments during the ritual where I wanted to give up. But I kept thinking about you and the pack and everyone counting on me to be strong. That is what kept me going.""You are the strongest person I have ever met. Most people would have given up or accepted Kieran's offer. But you refused to compromise your values even when it would have been easier.""I am not that strong. I am just stubborn.""Stubborn is good. Stubborn keeps you alive."We pulled up to the mansion and I saw pack memb

    Darius's PovI drove like a maniac through the night and arrived back at the pack mansion just as the sun was coming up. What I saw made my blood run cold. The entire east wing of the mansion was destroyed and there were bodies everywhere. Pack members I had known for years were lying dead on the ground."No," I whispered and jumped out of the car. "Please no."I shifted into my wolf form and ran toward the mansion. I could hear fighting coming from inside and I knew the battle was still going on.I crashed through what was left of the front doors and found Dante and about twenty other pack members cornered in the main hall. They were surrounded by Kayla's fighters and two massive hybrids that were even bigger than the ones from before."Darius!" Dante shouted when he saw me. "You came back!""Of course I came back. I am your Alpha."I jumped into the fight and went straight for the nearest hybrid. It was huge and powerful but it was also slow and clumsy. I dodged its attacks and went

    Soraya's Pov Elder Nahara woke me up after what felt like only a few minutes of sleep but she said I had been resting for eight hours. My body still felt terrible but at least the room was not spinning anymore when I sat up."How are you feeling?" she asked."Like I got hit by a truck. But I am alive so I guess that is good.""More than good. You survived the most dangerous part of the recovery. Now we can begin the second phase of the ritual.""The second phase? What does that involve?""Extracting Kieran's spirit from your consciousness completely. During the first phase you severed the connection to your wolf which weakened Kieran's hold on you. But he is still present in your mind as a separate entity. We need to remove him entirely and send him to the spirit realm where he belongs.""How do we do that?""You will enter a trance state and confront Kieran directly in a mental battle. You will need to convince him to let go of his rage and accept the peace you offered him. If you s

    Soraya's PovI woke up to the sound of Darius talking on the phone. His voice was tense and worried and even through my foggy mind I could tell something was very wrong. I tried to open my eyes but they felt so heavy like someone had placed weights on my eyelids.I forced my eyes open and saw him sitting beside me with his phone pressed to his ear. Elder Nahara was across the room preparing something at her worktable."Darius," I whispered and my voice came out hoarse and weak.He looked down at me with surprise and relief. "Soraya you are awake. How are you feeling?""Terrible. Everything hurts and I feel empty inside. What is happening? Who were you talking to?""It is Dante. The pack is under attack by Kayla and the traitors. They need help but I cannot leave you right now. You just completed the first part of the ritual and Elder Nahara says you need constant care for the next twenty four hours or you might die."I tried to sit up but my body would not cooperate. "How bad is the a

    Darius's PovI was sitting beside Soraya watching her sleep when my phone rang. It was Dante calling for the fifth time in an hour and I knew something must be seriously wrong."Dante? What is going on? Why do you keep calling?""We are under attack. Kayla and the traitors are assaulting the mansion with at least thirty fighters including three hybrids she created using the Patriarch's research. We are barely holding them back and I do not know how much longer we can last."My blood ran cold. "How bad is it?""Bad. We have multiple casualties and the hybrids are about to breach the mansion. If they get inside we will not be able to stop them from killing everyone."I looked at Soraya lying unconscious on the floor. She had just completed the first part of the ritual and Elder Nahara said the next twenty four hours were critical. If I left her now she might die without anyone to care for her.But my pack was under attack and they needed their Alpha. They needed me to lead them and prot

    Dante's PovThe first hybrid lunged at me and I barely dodged out of the way in time. Its claws raked across my side and pain exploded through my ribs. I spun around and bit into its leg but it did not even flinch."They do not feel pain," Eliza shouted from somewhere behind me. "You have to take them down with lethal force or they will just keep coming!"I went for the hybrid's throat but it caught me with a powerful backhand that sent me flying across the room. I crashed into the wall and felt something crack in my shoulder.The hybrid advanced on me slowly like it was enjoying the hunt. I struggled to get back on my feet but my legs were not working properly.Then Thomas jumped on the hybrid's back and sank his teeth into its neck. The hybrid roared and reached back to tear Thomas off but three more pack members joined the attack. Together they managed to bring the hybrid down and one of them bit through its spine.The hybrid stopped moving and I felt a small surge of hope. They co
