Back in Black River, we entered the pack house.

Exhausted.

"Sleep," Kael said. "Both of you. Tomorrow brings new challenges."

"Will we survive them?" Erica asked. Scared child under the mature exterior.

I knelt. Looked her in the eyes.

"I don't know, baby. I really don't. But I promise you this: I'll fight for you. For us. For this family. With everything I have. Every breath. Every heartbeat. Everything."

"That's all I can ask," she said.

Wise beyond her years.

My daughter.

  • 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

    “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

    “You really believe that?” I ask. “That we can actually fix this broken world?”“I have to.” Kael’s voice stays low but steady. “If I stop believing it’s possible, then why build anything? Why fight these wars? Why hide our son in a cursed place and pray we can bring him home to something better?”I nod slowly. “Okay. So where do we start? We’ve got a rebellion to end, alliances to repair, and a clock that’s already ticking too fast.”“Ironwood,” Kael answers without hesitation. “They’re the biggest fire right now. If we pull them back in or take them out, every other pack watching will get the message.”“Donovan won’t back down easy,” I say. “He’s in too deep. Too proud.”“Then we don’t give him a cho

    "I know you'll need every edge," Thea said, gripping my shoulders firmly. "These runes will block three, perhaps four direct strikes before they shatter. After that, you fight without them.""Three or four is more than I dared hope for.""Thank you, Thea.""Do not thank me yet. Thank me if we all li

    I woke to Kael's hand on my shoulder.Gentle, but insistent.Through the window, early dawn light filtered in gray and cold, the kind that came before sunrise."It's time?""Nearly. You have an hour before they arrive.""Erica?""In the shelter with the other children. Helena guards them personally

    The training hall turned into a full-on war factory overnight. Tables stretched end to end, covered in blank stones, carving tools, vials of blood, and half-finished runes glowing faintly in the torchlight.Twenty volunteers packed in with Thea, Erica, and me, turning the huge space into o
