เข้าสู่ระบบRays of sunlight were beginning to pierce the clouds when the last shovelful of earth was placed on top of Kaia's grave.The burial had been calm and quiet. The pack was huddled around the limited space of the cemetery, but those who were really close to Kaia's gravestone were me, Noah, and the other wolves who were helping with her burial, like Atticus.Cassian was there too, and even said a few trembling words when it came time to speak about the great woman Kaia had been. But in the end, he kept his distance, perhaps because seeing that closed coffin being swallowed by the earth had been too much for him. I don't know if I could say I had positive feelings for him, not knowing that he was fully aware that his father had tried to kill Noah more than once.But it was undeniable that he was no longer the same as bef
Kaia's funeral took place on an unusually cloudy spring morning. The entire pack was scattered around the town square where her body lay, a line forming so that each of them could say goodbye to their beloved Alpha one last time. Her body lay in the open coffin, a white dress covering her and flowers adorning her. She seemed so at peace with that gentle expression on her face. If it weren't for the paleness, I could believe she was just sleeping.But she had already been dead for three days. God, it was still so hard for me to believe. Kent was gone, but he had managed to take someone precious to us before. If only I had known it was the last time I would see her, when I last spoke to her… If only I could have thanked her in person for giving her life to save Noah…Perhaps that was why she seemed so s
The last thing I wanted to do was leave my wife's side.But I had promised my mother that I would take care of that pack. Certain things could no longer be postponed.Even knowing this, my body refused to move a single muscle to get up from the armchair where I was sitting, right next to the bed where Holly was sleeping with her hand on mine. I didn't tell her about my mother immediately, afraid that the impact of the news might hinder her recovery. If she went back into that coma, with part of her chest still open, I didn't know what I was capable of doing.But she knew something was wrong. Now, it had been three days since she woke up, her wolf was clearly working hard to close the wound near her heart and regain her strength, so she thought maybe the time had come. Flora and the healers said she was out of danger, at least. But I think that was a bad idea.She had cried herself to sleep.I watched her sleep silently, her eyelashes puffed out, her cheeks flushed, and her lips slight
“He is fully in your lands. Body and soul. Although he has certainly come very close to running into me before. Tonight was one of those times, but you can rest easy.” The Goddess reassured me “It’s just the connection between you. Your soul hasn’t completely detached yet. A part of you is still there with him. Listening to him.” Her own ears perked up, as if she were encouraging me to pay attention.“Please, don’t do this to me.” I heard him again, this time more clearly “I can’t lose you too. Anything but you. Fuck, Holly, I can’t…” His voice seemed to get stuck in his throat “I once promised that not even death would be able to separate me from you. And I will keep that promise, are you listening to me? No matter where you go, I will find you. Even if you never open your eyes again… I will come to you.”“No! No, Noah!” I screamed at the sky above me “No, he can’t do this! This is not what I sacrificed myself for! Please, talk to him! Stop him!”“My ways of connecting with wolves wi
I was in a dream.I was almost completely certain of it. It was very similar to when I used to meet my mother in her wolf form. The full moon was high in the sky and the soft grass where I lay was so comfortable that I didn't even bother trying to get up. There was a strange feeling in my mind, almost hollow. I think that was what peace really meant, perhaps. I couldn't find anything else in my mind besides the desire to simply exist. Simple. Peaceful.But even so, something was wrong. I could feel it.Why couldn't I just surrender to that feeling? It was so inviting, so irresistible…“I knew it wouldn’t be so easy with you.” Someone laughed nearby “Most souls don’t even make it this far,
“What?” a murmur escaped me.“Garrett already messed me up enough finding his mate, but Elowyn of all people? A moon priestess? My plans, which included being discreet and simply using my right as second in line to the throne, have been ruined. I thought I was safe when Wayne was born with blood as sterile as his father's. But then you came along.” He snorted “A child with magic? I couldn't be patient anymore. I couldn't let them discover the power they had in their hands. It wasn't even difficult. They left me alone with you all the time. Just a few moments and you became a child with health hanging by a thread, just like I once was…”"You bastard...!" I growled, but he didn't even seem to be listening to me.“Unfortunately, even that wasn’t enough. I needed yo
For a second, Noah's parents just stood there, staring at each other. And I was absolutely certain that a fight would break out if Dean made the terrible decision to challenge our Alpha. Under normal circumstances, it should be Arthur, the one who had been offended
I always thought Noah had a lot of his mother in him, but now I realized I was very wrong. Yes, he had inherited Alpha Kaia's dark hair and eyes, but almost everything else had come from his father. The chiseled nose, the sharp features, the way he looked menacing
It's not like I didn't know we'd be the center of attention the moment we stepped into the pack's central square. It was obvious all eyes would turn to us as soon as they noticed us.However, it was still an oppressive
My words seemed to shock them all, to the point that I almost regretted them. However, just as I was thinking of apologizing for interfering, Alpha Kaia rewarded me with another smile, much more kind and proud than all the others.
