By way of an answer, Seer Circe offered a gentle shake of her head, her aged eyes resting on me with deep sympathy."Only the Sorcerers can perform the rite, Luna. And I suspect Alpha Caspian will need to give his approval as well."I glanced at Elder Daro, who gave a quick, reassuring nod.They were right. Caspian was the one who had placed my mother’s heart into this chest of mine in the first place, so he was the one who would have to sanction returning my true heart to its rightful place. Besides, I was his mate—his consent was absolute when it came to my future.**For six months and fourteen days, I had searched relentlessly for my heart. Now, seeing that piece of my body returned at last, a sense of wholeness felt truly within reach. And through every moment where I felt utterly crushed by reality, Caspian had been right there beside me.The Alpha throne of the Emerald Earth Pack h
Lulu"I have to admit, I’ve missed this place, Elder.""Yeah, everything’s been different since you left."Elder Daro was one of the few elders who had always backed me. But even with his support, Ruth’s influence as the High Elder who co-founded the Emerald Earth Pack still ran ridiculously deep.He walked slightly ahead of me, leading the way with the quiet dignity of an old man still wrapped in mourning.Nestled in my arms, Elijah was fast asleep after our long journey from Sapphire Water. But the peaceful look on my boy’s face did nothing to ease the knot of anxiety twisting in my chest.I only had one real reason for returning to Emerald Earth territory: to reclaim the heart that had been stolen from me for far too long."We’ve arrived, Luna Lulu," Elder Daro murmured, coming to a halt before a carved stone wolf statue.He twisted one of its protruding fangs, revealing a hidden entryway, and gestured for me to step through first.Inside the dimly lit room, rich with the earthy sc
LuluA week after that nerve-wracking Moonbound ritual, peace was slowly returning to the Sapphire Water Pack.The wounds on my body and the magical drain from fighting those dark sorcerers were starting to fade. Still, my main focus hadn't changed: rebuilding the life that had been ripped away from us for so long.A firm, authoritative voice suddenly echoed in my head, snapping me out of my thoughts.[Luna Lulu, get yourself ready. I’ve just let all the pack warriors and elders know that we’re heading out for the Emerald Earth Pack today,] Caspian said over our mind link.His deep voice brought a wave of warmth that never failed to put me at ease."Thank you, Alpha Caspian. I’ll be right over to your office," I replied softly.I looked down at Elijah. My little boy was fast asleep in his bassinet, freshly bathed and fed. He looked so tiny, yet inside his chest flowed the blood of earth elementals—the rightful heir to the Emerald Earth Pack.After making sure Dalila was keeping a clos
Lulu“Moon Goddess, please let everything go smoothly so Dorian can be saved by this ritual.”I didn't want anyone else dying because of me or Elijah. The lies, the betrayals, and the war against dark magic had to end, once and for all.And I was going to be the one to end it.Pyrrha, the fire wolf inside my soul, let out a soft howl—giving me a surge of extra strength as I approached the brass chalice next to the magical casket.I took a deep breath. Without a moment's hesitation, I popped out the sharp claws from my fingertips and sliced quite deeply into my left palm.Thick, dark red blood with the essence of fire poured out heavily, dripping warm and filling the bottom of the brass cup. The sting was burning hot, but my love for this family burned far brighter than any physical pain ever could."Go on, Caspian," I whispered, wincing against the throb in my palm.Caspian stepped forward. He clenched his fist and slashed his own skin. The sea-scented blood of a water elemental wolf
LuluThe brutal truth scorched my mind—sacrificing three elemental cores to save Dorian meant putting Elijah, Caspian, and myself on the chopping block.A bitter cold crept through every single vein in my body, leaving my knees trembling violently against the freezing stone floor."Is there really no other way?" I gasped out, completely suffocated.Before my mental breakdown could shatter my sanity any further, the study door swung open without warning. Hurried footsteps snapped the suffocating tension in the room."You lot need to see this!"Dylan rushed in, breathless. Paying no mind to Caspian’s sharp glare or my frozen stance, he headed straight for Caspian's desk.In his hand, he slammed a thick, ancient journal onto the cold wooden surface.Its faded navy leather cover showed its age, embellished with a muted gold 'BW' crest that shimmered softly in the candlelight.Dylan thumbed through the fragile pages with practiced ease, his long fingers landing on a leaf filled with intric
LuluTwo hours felt like two millennia. Every second hand ticking away on the clock in the Healer Sapphire Water pavilion tortured my conscious mind, turning into a cold pulse of dread creeping straight down my spine."Can you feel Elaria and Julian’s energy yet, Pyrrha?" I asked my wolf every half hour.[Not yet.] Pyrrha’s answer was always brief.I kept pacing back and forth outside the medical room, my fingers laced together so tightly my knuckles turned white.One issue bothering Elijah was dealt with. We'd wiped out the Dark Sorcerers. But my chest still felt tight looking at Dorian’s shallow, ragged breathing.Dorian was the only person who felt like family to me right now. He was on the brink of death because he protected Elijah, and I refused to owe him my life.[They’re here,] Pyrrha must have sensed their energy.Hurried footsteps finally boomed down the stone corridor. I whipped my head round and saw Elaria appear alongside Julian.Their alchemy robes billowed out behind th
ElariaMy fingers trembled as I ran the comb through Mary Ann’s red hair. It was still the same as twenty years ago—bright red, coarse, and crackling with energy, like it could burn my skin at any moment.But today, that red no longer meant rebellion on the academy rooftops.Today, it was framed by
ElariaTime is the most ruthless spell of all. Since that day in the Emerald Earth pack, I locked away every memory of Mary Ann.I chose a quiet path, dedicating my life entirely to Lorkgard—the highest magical academy, the last stronghold of our magic’s purity. Here, I was no longer the weepy Elar
Lulu“So… we’re still moving rooms, right?” I asked, hoping Caspian would agree.“Yeah,” he said, though he hesitated.I knew why. He didn’t want to disrespect our host’s offer. Refusing would only make things harder for us here. Elaria’s goodwill was the one thing we could use if we wanted to inve
Lulu“So,” Alpha Caspian said, “what’s your answer, Lulu?”His voice was calm. The kind of calm that told me he wouldn’t accept half-truths or polite smiles. I stood in the middle of the boutique, surrounded by expensive outfits that felt more intimidating than a room full of Alphas.Honest. The wo
