ログインRose’s POV“We found you.”The voice didn’t fade.It didn’t echo and disappear like the others.It stayed.Cold.Sharp.Alive.My knees hit the ground before I could stop myself, the impact barely registering as a violent pressure crushed against my chest. It wasn’t physical—no, this was deeper, far more dangerous. It felt like something had reached inside me and grabbed hold of whatever lived there.My breath came out in a broken gasp.“They…” I choked. “They found me…”“Who?” the Lycan King demanded, already moving closer, his presence instantly suffocating the space around us with power.But I couldn’t answer.Because the moment I tried—Pain exploded inside my head.Not sharp.Not quick.But overwhelming.Like something was forcing its way through a door that had been sealed for years.My wolf howled inside me, not in anger—In warning.They’re coming.The voice inside me—the one—was no longer calm.No longer amused.For the first time…It sounded tense.You need to move.My finge
Rose’s POV“I’m… here.”The words left my mouth, but they didn’t feel complete.Not wrong.Just… incomplete.Like they only told half the truth.Because even as I knelt there, breath unsteady, body trembling from the force of everything that had just happened—I could still feel it.That presence.Quieter now.Watching.Waiting.Not gone.Never gone.The Lycan King dropped to one knee in front of me, his hand hovering near my face like he wasn’t sure if touching me would make things better… or worse.“Rose,” he said again, more firmly this time. “Look at me.”I did.Slowly.And for a moment—Everything else faded.The forest.The power.The voice.It was just him.Grounding.Real.Safe… or at least, the closest thing to safe I had left.“I’m okay,” I whispered.But the moment the words left my lips—I knew they weren’t true.Because nothing about this felt okay anymore.His gaze searched mine, sharp and careful, like he was trying to see past my words… into whatever had just taken con
Rose’s POVDarkness didn’t come like before.It didn’t swallow me whole or drag me into unconsciousness.No—this was different.This was awareness… without control.I was still there.Still me.I could feel everything—the cold night air brushing against my skin, the tension in my muscles, the steady rhythm of my heart—And the other one.That second heartbeat.Stronger now.Louder.Dominant.But I couldn’t move.Couldn’t speak.Couldn’t even breathe the way I wanted to.It was like being trapped behind a glass wall inside my own body, watching everything happen while something else stood in my place.And the worst part?It wasn’t confused.It wasn’t panicking.It was calm.Completely calm.You’re resisting too much, the voice said inside my mind, almost thoughtfully.I tried to fight back.Tried to push forward, to reclaim control, to force my fingers to move, my lips to speak—anything—But it was useless.“You’re not taking over,” I said inside, my thoughts sharp, desperate. “This is
Rose’s POV“It means… you’re not alone inside your own body.”The words didn’t make sense at first.They couldn’t.Because how could they?How could someone not be alone in their own body?That wasn’t possible.That wasn’t real.And yet—The second heartbeat pulsed again.Slow.Heavy.Undeniable.My breath hitched as I staggered back a step, my hand flying to my chest like I could physically hold myself together.“No…” I whispered. “No, that’s not… that’s not possible.”But my voice lacked conviction.Because deep down—I felt it.That presence.Not distant anymore.Not hidden.Right there.Inside me.Watching.Aware.My wolf let out a low, uneasy growl.Not of fear.Not entirely.But of… confusion.Conflict.Because even she didn’t fully understand what we were feeling.“What is it?” I demanded, my voice shaking now. “What is inside me?”The Lycan King didn’t answer immediately.Of course he didn’t.That hesitation again.That careful weighing of words like he was deciding how much o
Rose’s POV“...this world won’t survive it.”The Lycan King’s words didn’t leave me.They didn’t fade into the night like everything else.They stayed.Clung.Wrapped around my thoughts like something alive, something waiting for the right moment to tighten and suffocate me with the truth I still didn’t understand.I didn’t reply immediately.Because what was I supposed to say to that?That I believed him?That I didn’t?The truth was… I didn’t know anymore.I didn’t know what to believe.Not about him.Not about the stranger.Not even about myself.The only thing I knew for certain…Was that something inside me was changing.And it wasn’t slowing down.We walked back in silence.The forest felt different now.Heavier.Like it had witnessed everything and was choosing to say nothing.Even my wolf had gone quiet—not calm, not at peace—but watchful.Waiting.For what, I didn’t know.But it felt close.Too close.When we reached the castle gates, the guards straightened immediately, but
Rose’s POVThe night didn’t feel like night anymore.It felt like a threshold.Like I had stepped into something I wasn’t supposed to cross yet… but somehow already had.The cold air wrapped around my skin, but I barely felt it. My entire body was too focused on one thing—him.Standing there.Watching me.Waiting.The closer I got, the louder my heartbeat became. No—not mine.His.That same deep, heavy rhythm that had been haunting me from the beginning.Now it wasn’t distant.Now it was real.Alive.And right in front of me.Every step I took felt like a decision I couldn’t undo. Like I was walking away from something… and toward something else I didn’t fully understand.“Rose.”The Lycan King’s voice came from behind me, sharper this time. Not just a warning—an order.“Stop.”I didn’t.I couldn’t.Because for the first time since everything began…I didn’t want to stop.“I need to know,” I whispered, though I didn’t even know who I was saying it to. Him… or myself.The figure tilted
Rose’s POVI didn’t sleep that night.Even when the forest grew quiet again… even when the shadow’s presence faded into something distant and watchful… even when the Lycan King insisted we were safe—for now—My mind refused to rest.Because something had changed.Not just around me.Inside me.And
Rose’s POVThe words echoed in my mind, bouncing off the walls of my chest, leaving a strange emptiness that was both terrifying and exhilarating.“You already found him.”I blinked. Slowly. Over and over.No. That couldn’t be true.It didn’t make sense.The Lycan King…Alpha Sunny…I had thought I
Rose’s POVI stared at him.Really stared.Waiting… hoping… searching for something—anything—that would make my chest tighten the way it used to.But there was nothing.No pull.No warmth.No bond.Just… silence.It was wrong.So horribly wrong.Because no matter how much Alpha Sunny had hurt me, n
Rose’s POVMy entire body was shaking.Not from weakness.Not from fear alone.But from the aftershock of power I didn’t understand.The moment the shadow disappeared, the forest didn’t return to normal. If anything, it felt worse. The silence pressed harder, the air heavier, like something unseen
