LOGINChapter 185 : The Night of Reckoning(His POV)The air was thick with tension — a silence that felt alive, vibrating under the surface, waiting to explode. One moment, there was disbelief and fear in the crowd… the next, the first growl shattered the stillness like glass.The rival Beta’s voice thundered, raw and venomous.“Seize them both! The Alpha has lost his mind — he brings corruption upon this pack!”And just like that, the world broke apart.Wolves leapt forward, teeth flashing under the pale light. The courtyard that had once been a place of ceremony became a battlefield drenched in chaos. The air filled with snarls, snapping bones, and the metallic scent of blood.I could feel the pull of the mate bond in my veins — burning, thrumming, screaming her name. Nora stood in the center of it all, her eyes glowing with untamed power. Lightning cracked behind her, splitting the sky as if the heavens themselves had chosen sides.The earth trembled.Wind howled through the trees.Some
Chapter 184 — The Trial of Truth(Axel’s POV)The moment should have been peace.It should have been reunion, forgiveness — the long-awaited end of exile and pain.But peace was a fragile thing in this pack.The courtyard was still echoing with the fading hum of our bond, that golden pulse that had silenced the night when I knelt before her. Nora stood tall beside me, radiant and trembling, her hand warm in mine. The moonlight seemed to bend toward her, and for a single heartbeat, every wolf — every soul — watched her in reverent silence.Then came the first voice.“Seize him!”The words broke the spell like shattered glass.The council’s elders rose from their seats, robes sweeping the dirt. Their faces twisted with anger, fear, and disbelief. Behind them, a few guards hesitated, glancing at one another, unsure whether to obey.“He is a traitor!” one of the elders roared, pointing at me with a trembling, gnarled hand. “He broke the sacred laws! He murdered his Luna and returned from
Chapter 183— The Alpha’s Return (Axel’s POV)The growl ripped from my throat before I even realized it. It wasn’t a sound—it was a storm. A raw, guttural, feral sound that shook the trees and made the birds scatter into the night. The forest trembled beneath my paws, roots cracking, branches bending as I ran. Every muscle in my body screamed, every wound burned, but nothing could stop me now.Her heartbeat. I could hear it. Feel it.She was alive.Each stride sent shockwaves through the earth. The scent of home, of the pack, of betrayal and blood, filled my nose, but above it all—there it was. Her scent. Wild, soft, familiar. Like rain after a thousand years of drought. I growled again, louder, the sound echoing through the valley like thunder announcing a god’s wrath. The silver that had burned into my flesh glowed faintly beneath my fur, searing with pain, but it didn’t matter. The pain meant I was alive, that I could reach her.The pack would hear me long before they saw me. They
Chapter 182 — The Return of the Alpha (Her POV & Foreshadowing Axel)The gates loomed ahead, massive and silent, the iron cold beneath my fingers as I pressed my hands against the smooth, dark metal. My heart hammered like a war drum, not from fear — no, not fear — but from the raw surge of power and purpose that had carried me this far. Every step I had taken from the hidden cave, every fight against the shadows, every whisper of the wind through the trees, had led me here. Home.I took a deep breath, letting the scent of the pack land flood me. Familiar. Dangerous. Betrayal and deceit clung to the air, and yet beneath it all, a fragile thread of loyalty still remained. My eyes scanned the walls, the sentries, the gathering of wolves outside — some curious, some terrified, all frozen as my figure appeared from the shadows.For a heartbeat, silence fell. It was a silence that pressed against my ears, filled with shock and disbelief. Whispers rose like timid sparks in a dry forest: “I
Chapter 181— Her Return (Nora’s POV)The moon was silver and cruel that night, its light spilling across the lands I once called home. My pack. My heart. My ruin.I stood at the border for a long time — the same border I had once crossed to find Axel. My heart pounded like a war drum in my chest, each beat echoing with the memory of his pain, his cries, the way his eyes had looked when I last saw him — wild, desperate, drowning in guilt he did not deserve.The forest whispered around me, rustling as though even the trees remembered my scent. The air itself trembled when I stepped forward. My aura — no, our aura — surged with life, light, and something ancient. I had not meant to awaken it, but it pulsed through me like fire in my veins, as if the universe itself knew I had come back to reclaim what was stolen.The guards at the border froze when they saw me. One of them dropped his spear; another stumbled backward as though he’d seen a ghost.“Luna…?” one of them breathed, his voice
Chapter 180 — The Moon’s Hidden Flame(Nora’s POV)The air was cold and heavy when I opened my eyes. Damp stone pressed against my cheek, and somewhere above, water dripped rhythmically from the jagged ceiling. For a moment, I couldn’t move — every muscle in my body trembled, as though I had fought a thousand battles and lost them all. My chest burned with shallow breaths. My head throbbed.Then came the memories — blood, smoke, screams… Axel’s roar, his pain, the blinding flash of silver. I gasped and tried to sit up, clutching my stomach. The child. My child. Our child.A faint pulse answered from within me. Weak, but steady. Alive.My trembling fingers moved instinctively over my belly, tears stinging my eyes. Somehow, against all odds, we had survived.The cave was dimly lit by a strange blue glow coming from the walls — faint veins of crystal embedded in the stone, pulsing like living hearts. I realized, then, I wasn’t entirely alone. A shadow shimmered at the edge of the cave —
