It wasn't one creature. It was hundreds. Thousands. A swarm of entities that existed in the spaces between atoms, between moments, between thoughts.

They poured through the tears in reality, drawn by the destruction of the Aeternum source like sharks to blood in water.

"There's too many," Victoria said, staring at the swarm. "We can't fight that many."

"We don't fight them," Phoenix said, forcing themselves to stand despite exhaustion. "We negotiate."

"Negotiate with Void Weavers?" Nadia laughed hysterically. "They don't negotiate. They consume."

"Everything negotiates when faced with something it can't consume," Phoenix said. They stepped forward, their translucent form flickering as they moved between states.

"Phoenix, no!" Ivy tried to grab her child, but her hand passed through. Phoenix was becoming more ethereal, moving closer to the Void Weavers' natural state.

Phoenix walked toward the swarm, which coalesced into a single massive form to face them. It was like looking at a hole

  • The Alpha’s Love Came Late   The reputation

    Word spread through the supernatural world: Sanctuary Pack didn't just protect its own. It protected anyone who needed protection.Wolves started arriving from all over North America. Not just Omegas now, but Betas fleeing arranged matings. Alphas who'd lost challenges and faced execution. Mixed-species individuals rejected by both parent species. Anyone with nowhere else to go.Within six months, Sanctuary had four hundred wolves.Within a year, seven hundred.They had to expand their territory. The Dead Lands weren't big enough anymore."We need to negotiate with neighboring packs," Marcus said, studying maps. "Request permission to claim unclaimed land.""There is no unclaimed land," Dominic reminded him. "Everything belongs to someone.""Then we buy it," Cassandra suggested. "We've been accepting donations from rescued wolves' families. Wolves who are grateful their children/siblings/parents were saved. We have resources now. Use them."They approached Victoria Steele first."You

  • The Alpha’s Love Came Late   The trial

    The trial took place in the central meeting hall, a structure large enough to hold the entire pack.Oliver stood in the center, hands bound with silver chains that prevented him from shifting or using any combat abilities.The children presented the evidence. Aiden shared Oliver's emotions during the betrayal, letting everyone feel his conflict and desperation. Luna showed them his genuine remorse. Nova revealed the futures where Oliver's brother died if he hadn't cooperated. Phoenix demonstrated the curse Oliver had introduced, pulling samples from the Veil so everyone could see how deadly it would have been.Then Ivy called for testimony.Isabella stood first. "Oliver helped me when I first arrived. He sat with me when I was too scared to sleep. He brought me food when I couldn't face the dining hall. He's not a monster. He's someone who made a mistake."Others spoke. Some defended Oliver. Some demanded exile or execution. Some just looked hurt and betrayed.Finally, Alpha Thorne's

  • The Alpha’s Love Came Late   The hidden enemy

    Isabella's recovery was slow but steady.Physically, her wounds healed within weeks thanks to wolf regeneration and excellent medical care. Psychologically, the damage ran deeper."She barely speaks," Luna reported after another empathy session. "Her emotions are so tangled. She's grateful to be here but terrified someone will send her back. She wants to trust us but can't trust anyone. She's broken in ways I don't know how to fix.""Then we don't fix her," Nadia said gently. She'd been working with Isabella, using her two centuries of experience to help counsel severe trauma. "We support her. We give her time and space to heal herself. Recovery isn't something we can force.""How long will it take?""Years, probably. Maybe decades. Trauma like this doesn't just disappear. It becomes part of who you are. The goal isn't to erase it but to learn to live with it. To not let it define you."Three months after Isabella's arrival, she finally spoke more than a few words at a time.She found

  • The Alpha’s Love Came Late   The sanctuary grows

    The Dead Lands were no longer dead.With two hundred and sixty wolves now calling it home, Sanctuary Pack transformed from a refuge into a thriving community.They built real structures. Homes. Training facilities. A school for the children. A medical center run by healers from multiple species. Gardens that bloomed year-round thanks to Phoenix's stabilization of the convergence point.The pack organized itself not by traditional hierarchy but by skill and interest. Former Omegas discovered talents they'd never been allowed to explore. Wolves who'd been treated as disposable laborers became teachers, healers, artists, leaders.And Ivy and Dominic found that leading as Keepers was different from leading as Alphas.Without pack bonds to enforce their authority, they had to earn respect through actions. Through listening. Through admitting mistakes and learning from them.It was harder.It was harder. But also more rewarding."I never realized how much I relied on the Alpha bond," Ivy ad

  • The Alpha’s Love Came Late   The keeper’s claim

    The next day, the hearing reconvened.Alpha Thorne immediately started speaking. "The Council has heard from numerous packs who oppose recognizing Sanctuary Pack. We believe they represent a dangerous precedent. If we allow one group of dissatisfied wolves to break away and form their own pack, we invite chaos. Every pack will face constant threats of fracture. We cannot allow…""We're not asking for your allowance," Ivy interrupted.The chamber went silent."Excuse me?" the Chief Elder said."We're not asking for permission to exist. We're claiming our right to exist. There's a difference." Ivy stood, projecting confidence she didn't entirely feel. "Sanctuary Pack is not bound by traditional pack structures because we're not a traditional pack. We don't have an Alpha in the conventional sense. We have Keepers. Leaders who guide through wisdom rather than dominance.""That's not a recognized rank," Thorne said."It was recognized by the Aeternum for ten thousand years. The original ra

  • The Alpha’s Love Came Late   The omega alpha

    News of Sanctuary Pack spread through the supernatural world like wildfire.A pack led by two former Alphas reduced to Omega. A pack that welcomed outcasts. A pack protected by the prophesied four children. A pack that existed in a place where reality itself was unstable.Some packs saw them as heroes. Others saw them as threats. Most didn't know what to think.The Council called for a hearing."They want to determine if Sanctuary Pack should be officially recognized," Justin explained when he brought the summons. "Or if you should be declared rogues and hunted down.""Let them try hunting us," Cassandra said darkly."That's not helpful," Ivy said. She looked at the summons. "When is the hearing?""Two weeks. In Geneva. All pack leaders are required to attend.""I'm not a pack leader. I'm Omega.""You're the founder of Sanctuary Pack. That makes you leader whether you have Alpha powers or not." Justin paused. "Ivy, you need to be careful. There are packs that want you destroyed. They
