LOGINKIARA’S POVI couldn’t stop thinking about the dream.Not the darkness…..Not the Coven.Not even the woman whose face remained hidden behind the fog.No.What stayed with me was the feeling.The feeling that someone close to me was carrying a secret so heavy it was slowly crushing them from the inside.For days I had tried to ignore it.Tried to convince myself that I was imagining things.That I was letting my visions and nightmares get into my head.But every time I saw Chloe, that feeling returned.Stronger…..Heavier.More impossible to ignore.She was hiding something.I didn’t know what…..I didn’t know why.But I knew it.And deep down, I think she knew that I knew.That afternoon, I found her alone near the edge of the training field.She was sitting beneath a tree, staring off into the distance.Thinking…..Worrying…..Waiting.I wasn’t sure which.For a moment, I simply watched her.This was Chloe….My Chloe….My best friend.The person who had stood beside me through everything.The per
KIARA'S POVThe dream came back three nights later.I didn't know I was dreaming at first.Everything felt too real.The air was cold against my skin. A thick fog stretched endlessly around me, covering everything in sight. I couldn't see the ground beneath my feet. I couldn't see the sky.Only white…..Endless white…..And silence.I slowly turned in a circle."Hello?"No answer.My voice seemed to disappear into the mist.Then I heard it…..Footsteps…..Soft…..Slow….Approaching.My heart immediately began pounding.Because somehow...I already knew who it was.The woman,The same woman from before.The one whose face I couldn't see.The one from my visions.The one who kept appearing in my dreams.And just like before, she emerged from the fog.Only this time...She was closer….Much closer.My breath caught.For the first time, I could make out details.Long hair.A slender figure…..A woman around my age.Maybe slightly older.The fog still hid her face, but not as completely as before.It was g
KAEL'S POVThe entire house was asleep Or at least, it should have been.Kiara had finally managed to get the twins down after one of them decided two in the morning was the perfect time to announce his existence to the world. She had fallen asleep almost immediately afterward, exhausted from being a mother to two little wolves who seemed to have inherited my inability to stay still.I smiled softly as I looked over at her sleeping form.God I loved this woman.I loved her more than I thought it was possible to love another person.And our sons?They were my entire world.I brushed a strand of hair away from Kiara's face and kissed her forehead gently.Then, deciding not to wake her, I slipped out of bed.Sleep wasn't coming easily tonight anyway.Maybe some paperwork would help.I made my way to my office and sat down behind my desk.An hour passed….Then another.And eventually, exhaustion caught up to me.With a sigh, I lay down on the couch in the office and closed my eyes.I had barel
CHLOE'S POVI hated her…..I truly hated her.Not because she loved Kael….Not because she was jealous of Kiara.But because she was forcing me to do something I never wanted to do.I stood in the forest that evening, my hands trembling as I stared at the old book I'd hidden beneath my cloak.The locating spell…..The Coven.Everything was getting closer.Too close…..And I still didn't know what to do."You're disappointing me."I froze.Slowly, I turned around.Celeste.She stood a few feet away, arms crossed, her expression cold."What are you doing here?" I asked.She laughed."What am I doing here?""I should be asking you that."Her eyes narrowed."Because from what I can see, you've done absolutely nothing."I frowned."What are you talking about?""Oh, don't play innocent with me."She walked closer."I gave you a task.""And you're taking too long."My jaw tightened."I never agreed to help you.""No."She smiled cruelly."But you're going to.""I won't."The smile disappeared."Y
KIARA'S POVI didn’t plan to tell Kael’s mother everything.At first, it was just supposed to be a visit.Something normal.Something grounding.But after the witch doctor’s words… after the dream… after the way my chest kept tightening whenever I thought about Chloe I couldn’t keep it inside anymore.Olivia was in the garden when I arrived.She always was.Calm.Composed.The kind of woman who looked like she had already survived every version of chaos life could offer.She looked up as I approached and smiled gently.“There she is.”I forced a small smile back.“Hi, Olivia.”She studied my face immediately.Her smile faded slightly.“You look tired.”I exhaled slowly.“I am.”She gestured to the seat beside her.“Sit.”I did.For a moment, neither of us spoke.Just the sound of wind brushing through the leaves.Then she poured tea and handed me a cup like she already knew I needed something to hold onto.“So,” she said softly, “what’s wrong?”That was Olivia.No small talk when it mattered.No
KIARA'S POVI didn’t tell Kael I was leaving the house.Not because I was hiding something dangerous.But because I knew exactly what he would say.“Stay home…..Rest…..Don’t overthink it.”But I couldn’t rest.Not after that dream.Not after that face I couldn’t see.Not after the feeling that still clung to me like a shadow I couldn’t shake off.So I went to the only person who ever spoke about visions like they meant something.The witch doctor.She agreed to meet me at the small clearing in the park near the pack lands. A quiet place. Safe. Or at least, it was supposed to be.The wind was soft when I arrived.Leaves rustled under my feet.And she was already there.Standing under an old tree like she had been waiting for me longer than I realized.Her eyes lifted slowly.“I was wondering when you’d come,” she said calmly.I frowned.“Did you know I was coming?”She gave a faint smile.“I know when someone is carrying a dream they don’t understand.”That made my stomach tighten.I stepped cl
KIARA'S POVBeing a mother had apparently turned me into a very light sleeper.The slightest sound and I was awake.One of the twins sighing?…Awake.Kael snoring?….Definitely awake.The sound of footsteps in the hallway…Awake.I slowly opened my eyes and frowned.Beside me, Kael was asleep, one arm w
KAEL'S POVI stood outside the pack house, staring up at the stars. Life had changed so much. A few months ago, I couldn't imagine myself becoming a husband or a father.Now?…I couldn't imagine my life without Kiara and our boys.I smiled to myself.The Moon Goddess truly had a strange sense of humor
CELESTE'S POVFour months.That was how long I had been gone.Four months tracking rogues and helping one of our allied packs clean up a mess near the northern border. It had been exhausting, but I had missed home.More importantly…I had missed Kael.Kael and I had grown up together. We had trained t
KIARA'S POVI gripped the sheets so tight the moment he thrust deep into me.To hell with the moon goddess.“Arghh….” The sound escaped my lips before I could stop it.To hell with mate bonds and coven rules. I turned twenty-three today and still haven't gotten mated.I tried to keep clean….I rea
