The darkness pressed heavily on Kael’s tent. Its fabric rustled faintly in the night breeze, casting elongated shadows that danced with every flicker of the torch just outside. He sat still on his cot, but his mind refused to settle. Angela’s words still echoed in his head like an unwelcome refrain: “Are you sure you’ll survive it? Do you even know where your mother is?”

Justine’s face—so familiar, so resolute—kept flashing before him, interchanging with distant childhood memories of Lylah’s smile. He hadn’t thought of his mother for a while now. He’d assumed she was safe in New York, far removed from all this. But why would Angela say it like that? What did she know?

He stood, then sat, then stood again. The walls of the tent seemed to close in with every breath. His thoughts coiled tighter around the knot in his chest. He walked in circles, palms pressed together, his jaw clenched. The cot’s sheets were kicked halfway off, a testament to his unease. When he finally collapsed back on

    The tension in the command tent was palpable as the men stared down at Thane. The morning sun, though bright outside, barely pierced the interior, casting only thin, pale ribbons of light through seams and gaps. Maps lay forgotten on the central table, corners curling upward, as if recoiling from the intensity around them. Boots scraped faintly against the hard ground, but no one spoke. The soldiers stood like statues. Even the soft breeze outside had stilled.Thane's chin lifted, despite the bruises. He jerked his arms against the hold of the men, sneering at Justine. “Go ahead,” he spat. “If you want to kill me, better get on with it. There'll be no need for gloating, so save yourself the effort. Just kill me and be done with it.”Justine, his confidence fully returned, tilted his head, the predator amused by the defiance of his cornered prey. “Kill you?” he said softly. “No. You’ll live. You’ll watch as I release my Kyrexin-X. And you—Alpha Thane—will be the first to feel it work.”

  • THE PROMISED SAVIOUR    Chapter 127 - Shifting Grounds

    Thane sat slumped against the cold earth, his back resting against the canvas wall of his makeshift cell. His once-proud shoulders sagged under the weight of defeat, and his matted hair hung over his brow, soaked with sweat, dust, and something darker. He looked like a man unmade. The air inside the cell was damp and musky. Though shaped like a tent, the cell bore no softness. Reinforced steel rods lined the corners of the structure, buried deep in the ground, and the canvas was layered with an inner mesh of titanium netting to prevent tearing. A crude metal door stood bolted in place at the front, secured with a thick digital lock and monitored by motion detectors along the sides. The ground was barren and uneven, scattered with stones and gravel, the kind that gnawed at the flesh when one tried to sleep.It was not meant to be a permanent prison, yet it was harsh and cruel. An insult to any dignity the prisoner might have once carried.From beyond one of the mesh-covered sidewalls,

    Thane stood rooted to the spot, breath shallow and uneven, as Kael's words struck him like a blade through the gut.The scum of a man.He faltered, his heart thudding, lips parting to speak—but nothing came out at first. His mouth was dry. His voice caught in his throat like a sob unshed.“I… I never meant to abandon your mother,” Thane finally said, his voice hoarse, cracking at the edges. “You have to believe me. It wasn’t like that. Things… things were more complicated than you could ever imagine.”Kael scoffed, the sound bitter and razor-sharp. His face, pale under the moonlight, twisted with disdain.“Complicated?” he repeated. “That’s your excuse?”“I didn’t even know,” Thane continued desperately, taking a slow step forward. “I didn’t know she had been banished from Ravenhurst. Not until it was too late. When I found out, I tore through New York looking for her. I searched for months, Kael. I was ready to beg her to come back. I was ready to give everything.”“And yet here we a

    The forest was still. Too still.Not even the usual night creatures dared to whisper beneath the shadowed canopy. The moon, pale and heavy, spilled light in broken streaks through the trees, illuminating Thane’s solitary figure as he moved through the underbrush—slow, careful, silent. For the third time in less than twenty-four hours, he was making his way back to the human camp.But this time felt different.His body was aching. Not the sharp ache of fresh wounds, but the dull, heavy weariness that settled deep in his bones; but he didn't shift. He didn't even run, he walked. He was determined to be human enough for when he met his son, and his resolution led him onward. Thane's limbs protested each step; his stomach gnawed at itself in hunger. He hadn’t eaten since dawn the previous day, hadn’t slept for longer. Yet these were not the burdens slowing his pace. It was the weight of something far crueler.His thoughts.They pounded at him more fiercely than his heartbeat. They swirle

    The name Lylah fell like a thunderclap in the war room.It hung there—fragile yet deafening—wrapping the walls in a suffocating silence. Thane's jaw clenched. The room seemed to tilt slightly in his vision as the name reverberated in his chest like a blow. Across from him, Cormac straightened slowly, his eyes narrowing, a low tremble beginning in his hands.“You mean to tell me…” Cormac’s voice was low, dangerous, like the crackle of a flame before the blaze. “That after what you did to her, you didn’t even try to find her? That you put her in such a disgraceful condition and just moved on like it never happened? You let her fall straight into the hands of humans?”Thane’s head whipped around. “You think I didn’t try?” His voice rose, trembling with restrained fury. “Yes—I failed her, I know that. I accept my part in what happened. But don’t you dare stand there pretending like you were the noble one in all this.”Cormac’s eyes flared. Thane continued, his voice sharp now. “You banish

    The room was silent as Tresslar began. “We slipped in during the first battle. Givens and I took out two of the invaders at the perimeter and stole their gear. Their faces were hidden, their clothes large enough to hide us. It worked. We got inside their camp—straight into the command tent.”The firelight caught the tremble in his hands. “That’s when we realized… something was wrong. The silver bullets aren’t their real weapon. They have something worse—something far worse.”He swallowed. “They have a gas. A poison that can travel through the air—some sort of vaporous wolfsbane. They call it… Kyrexin-X. It’s designed to kill us all, in minutes. Once they settle in, they plan to release it.”The Alphas sat frozen. Even Hijar had gone still. Cormac was the first to find his voice. “Are you sure?”“Absolutely,” Tresslar nodded. “We heard them talking. The gas is very much ready. They just needed time to secure the area. The plan was to release it tomorrow.”Alpha Billam leaned forward, h

  • THE PROMISED SAVIOUR    Chapter 122 - The Alliance's Gambit

    The battered fighters of the Werewolf alliance retreated under the pall of dusk, their limbs heavy with loss and the ache of a failed assault. Lunarville—the de facto warfront for the allied clans—buzzed with alarm as messengers raced across the corridors and lamps flared to life. The scent of scorched trees and spilled blood clung to the wind, a grim reminder of the brutality that had just unfolded beyond the forest edge.The courtyard of Lunarville filled quickly. Five Alphas, their forms tense and grim, gathered in a loose circle beneath the watchful eye of the waning sun. Each stood flanked by his Chief Warden, their armor marred with dirt and gore, their faces pale with disbelief. There had been hope that the combined might of their warriors would crush the invaders—but the outcome had been anything but victorious.“What the hell just happened out there?” Alpha Hijar growled, his voice a sharp bark that cut through the murmuring crowd. His amber eyes gleamed with frustration, the

  • THE PROMISED SAVIOUR    Chapter 121 - The Forest Edge

    WEREWOLF REALMThe forest loomed with an ominous quiet, ancient trees forming towering sentinels around the clearing where Justine’s convoy had begun to arrive. The whirr of engines pierced the otherwise muted woodland, tires crunching over gravel and fallen leaves. At the center of the clearing, two massive armored trucks ground to a halt, followed by a line of six reinforced utility vehicles and a pair of short-range missile tanks. The black-and-chrome sheen of their exteriors gleamed under the dappled forest light. The JANEERAD crest—a coiled wolf strangled by a chain—was stamped onto the side of each vehicle.Justine stepped down from one of the armored carriers, flanked by Commander Harris and three other captains in matching graphite-black combat gear. His eyes scanned the terrain—pristine, secluded, seemingly untouched by civilization. But Justine's instincts twitched.It was too quiet.Behind them, a dozen tents and rapid-deploy shelters were already being unpacked. These were
