Mag-log inKillian gently guided Rose back to her chambers. Closing the door to shield her from the rest of the pack house, he looked down at her pale face and ordered softly, “Now, rest for a while, and then I will take you back to the pack doctor.”“There's no need,” Rose whispered, a single tear spilling over her lashes and dropping down her cheek.Killian sighed heavily, his expression softening as he stepped closer. “Stop crying for that bastard, Rose.”Rose’s lips trembled, but she nodded in bitter agreement. “You’re right. I thought... I thought he could change after seeing the destruction of his own kind with his own eyes. But no. He will never learn from his mistakes." She covered her face, her shoulders shaking. "But I feel so helpless, Killian. I can’t bear to watch everyone of my blood die just like that.”“Rose, look at me,” Killian coaxed gently, lifting her chin. “I am here.Your brother. You have Father, and you have Isabella. You are not alone.”“Arthur is the last piece of Mother
“Maybe. But you need to be more careful and gentle this time,” Isabella murmured, shyly biting her lower lip.“I promise that I will be more gentle and careful. Let me worship my stunningly gorgeous pregnant wife,” Killian replied softly.He pulled her firmly onto his lap, her legs draping over both sides of his hips as she straddled him. Shedding the heavy burdens of the day along with their clothes, Killian held her as if she were the only thing that mattered in the world. He made love to her the whole night through, their bond offering a quiet sanctuary from the darkness of the battlefield.The morning arrived, bringing with it a mixture of new challenges and fragile hope. Killian pulled himself away from the warmth of their bed to face the grim tasks ahead. His first duty was to speak to his father, James, about Grace’s death and Arthur’s current imprisonment.However, James was already heartbroken. The exact moment Grace had drawn her last breath, his wolf had felt the shattering
Killian and Ethan led the exhausted army back toward the Blood Moon pack territory, but not before launching a thorough sweep of the battlegrounds. Once they confirmed the surrounding land was cleared of any lingering threats, Killian ordered the borders sealed tightly to ensure a secure perimeter for further investigation.Throughout the entire journey back, Ethan remained steadfast by Rose’s side, carrying her unconscious form in his strong arms and protecting her fragile form. Arthur, heavily bound and guarded nearby, fumed with a silent, toxic rage. He glared at Rose the entire trek, his chest heaving with fury, though the tight grip of the guards kept him from uttering another word to his sister.Upon arriving at the pack lands, the captured Blue Wolves were immediately marched down into the underground prisons for interrogation.Meanwhile, Killian and Ethan took Rose—who still hadn't gained consciousness—straight to the safety of the Alpha's pack house. Waiting anxiously for the
Rose felt the blood drain entirely from her face, a cold numbness washing over her as if she had just been caught red-handed committing a terrible crime. But she had been backed into a corner. She had to use those powers. It was the only way to save everyone—her pack, her mate, and her half-brother, Killian. Though a part of her deeply wished she could have saved her mother and Arthur too, she knew not everything in life goes as planned. The situation had demanded that lethal force be turned against Grace, and as destiny would have it, that final clash took her life.Now, looking at the destruction around them, Rose’s only remaining wish was that she could somehow still save Arthur from the executioner's block.“Rose, I am asking you something!” Killian pressed, his booming voice cutting through her spiraling thoughts. He noticed her sudden, absolute silence, and the fact that her tears had stopped flowing. He read it then in her silence that she was hiding something, buried deep in he
But before the corrupted black energy could fully release and spread into the air, Rose acted. With a sharp, decisive motion, her hand lifted, sending the shimmering ball of raw energy floating just above her palm.Instantly, a blinding, pristine white light erupted from her gleaming sphere. The brilliant torrent of pure magic surged forward, cutting through the shadows and colliding violently with Grace’s dark witchcraft mid-air. The impact sent a shockwave through the clearing, the contrasting forces of light and dark snapping and crackling as they fought for dominance.“No, Mother!” Rose screamed, her voice carrying a heavy weight of exhaustion and raw emotion that echoed over the magical static. “Just stop this bloodshed right now! Our kind doesn't deserve this!”The collision of their powers shook the very foundations of the clearing. Grace’s dark witchcraft twisted like starving serpents, violently pushing back against the pristine light, desperate to consume it. Seeing the pure
Killian’s massive black wolf flashed a savage, bloodthirsty grin at his Beta before leaping headfirst into the fray, effortlessly tackling four attackers at once and ripping them to shreds mid-air. A profound wave of gratitude washed over Ethan. Having the absolute, crushing weight of the Alpha's personal army crashing into the battlefield changed the entire gravity of the fight.Through the newly restored pack link, Ethan could instantly feel the overwhelming rush of relief bleeding from his fifteen battered warriors. They were no longer a forgotten scouting party waiting to die in isolation.The tables had turned, and the sudden shift painted a visible stroke of panic across Arthur and Grace's faces. Grace, who had been smugly hiding behind her mystical wall of flesh, was now visibly seething, her fists clenched in impotent rage as the Blood Moon vanguard tore through her front lines.Yet, the core nightmare of the ambush remained completely unsolved.Even with Killian's army throwin
Isabella had always been told that Maya had saved Killian’s life and that it was the reason he was so protective of her, why he cared for her, and even promised to marry her. But no one had ever told her the details—how or where Maya had supposedly saved him.Now, as Maya’s words echoed in the dark
Isabella glanced at Rose, who shot her a mischievous grin, her innocent eyes sparkling with a secret thrill. Rose gave a playful wink and a cheeky nod toward the front seat, making Isabella shake her head subtly. She knew she had no choice—she had to go and sit beside that infuriating, yet magneti
Killian drew a deep, shuddering breath, trying to subdue the sharp edge of his frustration. An alpha’s ego was as vast as Everest, and he was the Alpha king.The next moment, he leaned his forehead against hers, letting her touch soothe the heat simmering through him. His voice was low, rough, and
“Alpha Killian,” George said in his still-sleepy voice as he tied the knot of his robe. “Is everything alright?” He asked in confusion.Killian didn’t bother to answer. He strode straight into George’s room and asked in a sharp and authoritative tone. “Why is my wife staying in an Omega’s quarters?
