I still held Cole’s body when Liana returned. She was dragging someone in chains. Her face was hard.

“Got the other one,” she said.

She yanked the hood off.

It was Maya. One of Helena’s healer trainees. Just twenty. Sweet-faced. Quiet. Always shy in meetings.

Now she was sobbing. “Please. I didn’t want to. They have my sister. They said they’d kill her if I didn’t help.”

I laid Cole down and stood. My legs felt weak. “Where’s your sister?”

“I don’t know. Somewhere. They took her months ago, bef

  • Returning in Reverse After Betrayal   Chapter 176 Something Worth Believing In

    Kael stands beside me at the window, looking out over the kingdom.“I have to believe it,” he says. “Because the alternative is accepting that Seraphine is right. That wolves cannot govern themselves. That we need someone to control us. I refuse to accept that.”I stare at the courtyard below. Wolves move about their morning tasks. Life continues even while everything feels like it could collapse.“So what does that look like in practice?” I ask. “How do we build something real when Ironwood is tearing at our borders and Crimson Moon is searching for our son?”“We start by stopping the immediate threats,” Kael answers. “Ironwood first. We cut their support lines and make it too costly for other packs to join them. At the same time, we offer honest talks to anyone still undecided. Show them the Lupine Kingdom can give

  • Returning in Reverse After Betrayal   Chapter 175 The Plan

    We spend the next two hours working through everything.Ironwood comes first. They are the immediate threat. The ones actively trying to rip the kingdom apart. We need to either pull them back in or destroy their ability to fight.Next, we shore up our alliances. Shadowpeak is shaky, but other packs can still be secured. We have to rebuild trust and show strength without being brutal.We also need to watch Crimson Moon’s investigation. Erica’s sight will be key here. She can track magical traces near the Black Realm and warn us if they get too close.Then we prepare for the extraction. When the time comes to bring Alaric home, we must have a clear path. A safe way to enter the Black Realm and pull him out before Crimson Moon figures out exactly where he is.Under all of it runs one constant task: investigate Seraphine. We need to learn her real goal

    The question hangs in the air. Everyone waits for an answer.Kael looks at me. I nod once. We are doing this together now.“First, we stop the bleeding,” Kael says. “Ironwood is the immediate threat. Their rebellion is pulling in other packs. We need to cut that support before it grows.”“How?” Theron asks.“We hit their supply lines and their messengers,” I answer. “Not a full battle yet. We make it expensive for anyone to join them. At the same time, we offer real talks to any pack still on the fence. Show them the Lupine Kingdom can offer stability, not just fear.”Erica steps forward from the corner. “What about Shadowpeak? Lydia is already spreading the story that we made Alaric disappear.”“We deal with that head-on,” Kael says. “I will send a p

  • Returning in Reverse After Betrayal   Chapter 173 Six Months

    “What about Alaric?” I ask, my voice barely above a whisper.“You went north. Toward the Black Realm. Did you check on him?”“He’s safe.” Kael tightens his grip on my hand. “The person protecting him is keeping his word. But Sophia, there is something else. Something I learned while I was there.”“What?”“Crimson Moon knows about the Black Realm,” he says. “Not the exact details. They do not know Alaric is there for sure. But they know someone has found a way in. And they are investigating.”“How long do we have?”“Months. Maybe less.” His eyes darken with worry. “They are being careful. The Black Realm’s reputation keeps most wolves away. Although eventually they will either find a way in or find someone desperate

    Kael keeps holding my hand. His palm is warm but rough from the road.I do not pull away, but I do not relax into it either.“You say Seraphine once believed in peace,” I say, my voice quieter now. “So why is she trying to burn everything down?”“Because the rejection broke her completely.” Kael answers. “The person I met told me her original vision was good. She wanted to stop the endless fighting between packs. She wanted real harmony with other magical races. She even tried to build bridges with human mages. But someone refused her. Not quietly. Publicly. They called her ideas dangerous. They pushed her out and left her alone.”I frown. “So she decided to destroy the whole world as payback?”“Not simple payback,” Kael says. “She now believes the only way to create her version of pe

  • Returning in Reverse After Betrayal   Chapter 171 Heavy Silence

    “Because it means she’s worried enough about what we’re building that she’s actively trying to tear it down.” He smiles.We ride back to Moonstone in silence.Not the easy silence of two people who understand each other.This is the heavy kind.Kael rides beside me, close enough that I feel his presence, far enough that the space between us feels like a canyon.His wolf is hurt. I can see him favoring his left side the whole way.There is dried blood on his clothes. I try not to look at it.And he is missing a wolf. They left with six. They came back with five.“We need to talk,” he says through the mind link.“Do we?” My answer comes out cold.“Three days ago you didn’t seem to think talking was necessary.”“Sophia—”“Not here.” I cut the link. “Not until we are behind closed doors.”The rest of th

    It was a sound of pure, undiluted emotion—mourning, love, tribute, and defiance all woven together. It rose from six hundred throats, a visceral song that shook the dew from the grass and echoed off the distant mountains. I tipped my head back and joined them, my howl a release of the sorro

    She smiled, the girl shining through again. “I had relentlessly brave role models.”Later, under a tapestry of emerging stars, I found Kael on the eastern ridge.His silhouette was rigid, his gaze fixed on the dark line of the forest as if he could see through it for miles.“It’s Aldric, isn’t it?”

    The training yard thrummed with unfamiliar energy that afternoon. Black River warriors moved among newcomers bearing the oak tree sigil, the two groups initially separated by invisible lines of old prejudice and fresh desperation. I stood at the front with my core instructors—Erica, her face seriou

    Dawn broke over Black River territory, painting the battlefield in shades of gold and red.Beautiful, if you ignored the blood stains and scorch marks.I stood in the medical tent, watching Helena work.Twenty-three injured warriors lay on cots, groaning or unconscious.
