LOGIN13Viola's POV My father and I walked for quite a long time, and finally we arrived at the Carpathian Mountains, the territory of the Nightclaw Pack.When we arrived, the snow was the first thing that struck me.Small flakes stuck to my eyelashes as my father and I stepped out of the forest. The wind hit my face like a mourning spirit, its howl echoing between the sharp, ancient-fanged cliffs.This place... felt very familiar to me. Lily shifted inside me with a shiver."Home," she whispered.The word made my chest tremble strangely. I just nodded without answering her.Father walked a few steps ahead of me. His robe fluttered in the mountain wind. I could feel his magic was heavier here, as if the land recognized him. Recognized us.Slowly, torchlight began to appear among the trees. It was followed by the sound of footsteps that were regular, heavy, and cautious"The Nightclaw guards," Father muttered softly. "Don't look down when they inspect you.""Okay, Dad." I held my breath an
12Viola's POVA chill pierced through my bones as my consciousness slowly returned. I didn't know where I was now. There was only the scent of damp earth, juniper smoke, and the whisper of spells swirling around me. The air felt heavy, as if every breath I took swallowed fragments of fog filled with memories and fears.My eyes slowly opened. I stared up at the sky above me. It was no longer the forests of Silvermoon or Winterblood. This forest was dark, dense, with stars that seemed distant and foreign."Dad?" My voice was hoarse and barely audible.Not far from the rock I was leaning against, I saw a gray-robed figure standing near a small fire. His face was illuminated by the firelight, revealing old lines and eyes as sharp as an eagle's. Elder Harry turned slowly."Don't speak yet. You're still too weak," he said calmly.I tried to get up, but my body refused. My stomach felt like it was being squeezed from the inside. Lily whimpered weakly in my mind. My whole body felt shattered
11Evan's POVThe night air pierced my lungs, cold and thick with an unmistakable scent. It was the scent of lavender, a scent that had become very familiar lately.It was Viola's scent!"I know you're here, Viola!" My voice broke into a howl that echoed among the trees.Jacob, my wolf, forced his way out with the power of that roar."Viola, don't do it! Marry me, because you are my fated mate!"However, there was no answer. But I knew she heard me. I could feel it in the faint bond, a subtle vibration that pulled me like a magnet. She moved quickly, trying to get away from me."Reyhand!" I called to my Beta, who was running alongside me. "She's heading for the eastern forest!"Reyhand didn't ask any questions. He knew from the beginning of the night that I wouldn't stop."Alpha, we can cut her off through the rock crevice!" Reyhand said breathlessly."We'll do whatever it takes to find her." I nodded.We ran, letting our feet pound the wet ground. The air was filled with the scent of
Viola's POV Chapter 10I closed my eyes, trying to calm myself and Lily, but she kept shaking. She was nothing like her usual self—no longer the strong wolf that had always stood beside me."Lily, why are you afraid of Danny?" I asked her quietly.There was no answer. Only the pounding of my heart and the rumbling in my ears grew noisier.Then, suddenly, the air around me changed. The atmosphere became colder, as if a black fog was enveloping us."Ahh! What is this?"I suddenly felt my body convulse. Not because of pain, but because of an internal urge.Yes, Lily was rebelling."No, Lily! I'm not ready yet," I whispered with a gasp.However, it was already too late. It felt like my soul was splitting in two. A wild tug dragged Lily out from inside me.I screamed, but no sound came out. The world went mute, leaving only heat and invisible wounds. And that's when I saw it.A flash of silvery light in the corner of the room. The sound of claws hitting the floor hard."Lily," I said soft
Chapter 9Viola's POVThe door to the room opened with a bang. The sound of the door hitting the wall made my heart jump out of my chest. Evan and I turned our heads simultaneously towards the door. My breath caught as a tall, broad-shouldered figure appeared in the doorway, eyes burning with fury.Edward!His jaw seemed to have hardened. His eyes burned sharply like a fire ready to burn everything. The atmosphere in the room was instantly tense. The air turned thick and my breathing began to feel labored."Evan. Get out!" Edward's voice sounded cold, heavy, and threatening.However, Evan didn't move immediately. He still stood beside me. His body slightly covered mine, as if he wanted to protect me."Edward, listen to me first. This isn't what you think.""I said get out!" snapped Edward, his tone of voice louder this time.All at once I saw Nathan standing behind Alpha Edward. His face was grim and his gaze seemed unable to meet my eyes. My chest felt even tighter. I felt almost una
Chapter 8Viola’s POV"Evan, is he here?"He stood there, his piercing eyes locked on me. Ever since we came to Silvermoon, I couldn't take my mind off him. Even before I saw him, I could already feel his presence.His scent hit me like a blade. Sharp, warm, musky, mixed with the scent of pine and something very primal. A scent that used to mislead me in passion and now made my body tremble.The man stood calmly, dressed in black and gray formal attire. But the look in his eyes was not calm. They were sharp and piercing, as if stripping me bare from a distance."Viola?" whispered Edward as he grasped my hand tighter."Your hands are shaking."I was startled and hurriedly withdrew my hand from Edward's grasp."It's the night wind, Alpha. It's a little cold," I whispered softly, trying to calm my voice. "Alright."Edward nodded, but he gave me a long look. I knew that he must be getting suspicious. After that, Edward took my hand again. He even smiled sweetly at me."I'll make you warm
