“It’s been a long time, Lila.” The voice made Lila’s body tense up.

She stared at the figure before her, her eyes wide. It couldn’t be. Yet the face hadn’t changed. The way he stood. The sound of his voice. Even the cold gaze Lila had always known. Everything was the same.

“No…” Lila shook her head slowly. “It can’t be you.”

The man stepped out of the shadows. The candlelight finally illuminated his face.

Lila held her breath. “Darren…”

Darren. One of the Silver Pine Pack guards who often patro

    Silver Pine had never felt as quiet as it did that night. Ryder stood in the middle of the conference room with his fists clenched. A wooden table in front of him lay in disarray. Several documents had fallen to the floor, while a glass lay shattered in the corner of the room.“Failure.” His voice was low but full of rage. “All those plans have failed.”No one dared to answer. Ryder paced back and forth. Aurora hadn’t returned. Lila had been rescued. Darren had been captured. The information he’d given to Black Crescent had been exposed. And worst of all, Aurora had now truly chosen Moonveil.“Aurora should feel guilty,” Ryder muttered. “She should realize Silver Pine needs her.”He kicked a chair nearby. It slid across the floor with a loud thud. “She should come back!”Beta Damien, standing a few steps away, remained silent. Ryder turned to look at him sharply.“Why aren’t you saying anything?”Damien took a deep breath. “Because there’s nothing left for me to say, Alpha.”“Nothing?

    A few days after it was all over, Moonveil finally returned to calm. No more midnight alarms. No more reports of intruders. No more Black Crescent symbols found around the palace. For the first time in weeks, Aurora could wake up without feeling like she had to brace herself for something.That morning, she was in the palace’s back garden. In her hand was a small book: MY BAKERY PLAN. Aurora sat on a wooden bench, jotting down some new ideas, menu names, oven sizes, estimated ingredient costs, even the interior colors she wanted to use.She was so focused she didn’t notice someone approaching from behind. “You’re taking this way too seriously.”Aurora turned around immediately. “Cassian.”Cassian stood a few steps away from her. “What are you planning?”“A bakery.”“Again?”Aurora nodded. “This is important.”Cassian smiled. “I know.”Aurora closed her book. “Why?”“I want to show you something.”Aurora furrowed her brow. “What is it?”Cassian held out his hand. “Trust me.”Aurora loo

    The forest suddenly felt silent. There were no more sounds of battle. No more Black Crescent members were attacking. Only the sound of the breathing of people who had just escaped danger. Yet the document in Gareth’s hand made it feel as though everything wasn’t quite over yet.Cassian read the last page once more. Then he looked up. “Ryder.”The Silver Pine Alpha stood a few meters away from them. His face was pale. “I can explain everything.”Cassian handed the document to Gareth. “Explain.”Ryder looked at Aurora. As if he hoped she would help him. But Aurora remained silent. Ryder finally took a breath.“A few months ago, I started receiving reports about problems at Silver Pine. Supplies were dwindling. Trade routes were disrupted. Some pack members started getting sick.”He clenched his fists. “After Aurora left, everything got worse.”Aurora didn’t deny it. She knew conditions at Silver Pine had indeed deteriorated. But that didn’t mean she had to go back.Ryder continued. “I f

    Darren stood among the trees. Behind him, several members of the Black Crescent surrounded Lila. Lila looked exhausted, but she was still conscious. As soon as she saw Aurora, her eyes widened.“Aurora!”Aurora instinctively started to step forward. But Cassian immediately grabbed her arm.“Don’t.”“But, Lila...”“I know... just wait a moment, okay?”Cassian glared coldly at Darren. “Let her go.”Darren smiled. “If it were that easy, we wouldn’t have had to bring her all the way here.”Kaelan had already drawn his sword. Gareth and the Shadow Warriors spread out, forming a protective barrier around Cassian and Aurora. Meanwhile, Ryder was still standing a few steps behind. His face was pale. His gaze was fixed on Darren.“You said you wouldn’t touch her.”Darren turned his head. “I never promised you that.”Ryder clenched his fists. “Darren.”“Don’t act so surprised, Alpha.” Darren chuckled. “You’re the one who paved the way for us.”Aurora froze. She immediately shot a suspicious gla

The man Lila had seen several times delivering reports to Ryder. The man who had even delivered supplies to the kitchen. All this time, Lila had never suspected him.Darren gave a faint smile. “I’m glad you still remember me.”“Why?” Lila’s voice trembled. “Why are you doing this?”Darren didn’t answer right away. He walked over to the table and set down a bottle of water.“Drink this.”“I don’t want anything from you.”“If I wanted to hurt you, you’d already b

    The Moonveil underground passageway descended into chaos. Soldiers were running in every direction. The door to the detention room stood wide open. And the Black Crescent man who had been inside just a few minutes ago had vanished without a trace.Aurora stood in front of a stone wall. Her eyes were still fixed on the three words written in red ink. AURORA IS THE KEY.Her hands felt cold. “What does it mean that I am the key?”Gareth examined the room carefully. “There’s no other way out.”Cassian didn’t answer. His gaze remained fixed on the writing. Then he turned away.“Search all underground access points.”“Your Majesty?”“All of them.” The tone of his voice made every soldier spring into action immediately.“Check the old corridors, the storerooms, the drainage channels, all the way to the tunnels beneath the palace. I want to know how he got out.”Gareth nodded. “All right.”Aurora was still standing where she was. “Cassian.” Cassian turned to her. “I want to know why they call
