Chapter 27

Amber’s POV

“Guys… as you can see, I’m heavily pregnant,” I said, placing a hand on my swollen belly as the murmurs of the pack quieted. “You all need to calm down. Please.”

I took a deep breath, steadying myself.

“I will speak with Damian. I know the pack isn’t what it should be right now. I can see the exhaustion in your eyes, the hunger in your families, the unease in your hearts. We are tired. We are suffering.”

Voices rumbled in agreement, anger mixed with despair.

A growl rose from the back of the crowd. One of the older wolves stepped forward, his voice raw with anger.

“Amber, it’s not just that we’re tired—we are broken! Damian hasn’t strengthened our borders, and rogues slip in and out as they please, killing and stealing. He hasn’t organized the hunting parties, and now families go hungry while he feasts like a king. He doesn’t call for the sacred gatherings anymore, so our voices are silenced. Our pups are growing wild, without training, without gui

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   I’d burn the world for you

    Chapter 135LiamThe morning had begun like any other—quiet, almost gentle.I sat upon the throne, fingers resting against the carved arm, my thoughts drifting not to war or councils, but to Aurora. To the way she smiled when she thought no one was watching. To the calm that had settled into my chest since she became my Luna. I had never known peace could feel like this—steady, grounding. Dangerous, even, because it made me forget that peace is always borrowed.That was when the guards announced them.Cassidy’s parents entered the great hall without ceremony. No dust clung to their cloaks. No blood marked their hands. But their faces were drawn tight with exhaustion, eyes shadowed with things they wished they had not seen.My heart sank.I straightened. “Clear the hall,” I ordered calmly. “And send for my father.”My father arrived quickly, his gaze sharp the moment he saw them. We moved into the council chamber, thick stone walls sealing us away from listening ears. The torches flick

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   You're part of my thoughts

    Chapter 134Aurora The morning after last night felt different in the softest way—lighter, warmer, like the world had shifted just enough to let me breathe.I woke to gentle kisses pressed to my forehead, slow and unhurried, as though whoever was giving them had nowhere else to be and all the time in the world. I smiled before I even opened my eyes.“Morning, beautiful,” Liam murmured.I blinked awake and found him hovering over me, propped on one arm, his hair loose and uncombed, his expression open in a way I still wasn’t used to—but was quickly growing fond of.“Morning, handsome,” I replied, my voice shy but honest.He smiled, not the confident Alpha smile everyone saw, but a quiet one meant only for me. “How do you feel?”I thought about it for a second. About the warmth in my chest, the calm in my bones, the strange sense that I belonged exactly where I was. “I feel… great,” I said, cheeks warming.“Good,” he said softly. “Come. Wash up. I want to take you somewhere.”That alon

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   Intense

    Chapter 133 Aurora I returned to the castle long after dusk, my body aching but light, as though something inside me had finally been set in motion. The Omega lands had done that to me—quiet strength, calm discipline, a kind of power that didn’t roar but endured. And Liam… Liam had watched it all with a softness that still made my chest tighten. I thought of the kiss. Heat crept into my cheeks as I climbed the stairs to my chambers. After speaking briefly with my father and grandmother, reassuring them that I was safe, I retreated into the quiet of my room. I bathed, letting warm water wash away the dust of training, then dressed in a silk night gown—pale, flowing, ancient in cut. It felt strange to wear something so delicate after a day of pushing my limits, but it felt right too. The room was dim, lit by lanterns and moonlight. Liam’s maps were spread across the table—battle lines, borders, notes written in a hand I still struggled to read. I circled them, amused. “Doe

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   Aurora is my compass

    Chapter 132 Liam I found my mother waiting in the inner hall, where the light from the high windows fell soft upon the stone. She stood still, hands folded before her, posture perfect as ever. Yet the moment our eyes met, I knew something troubled her. “Mother,” I said, slowing my steps. “You look worried.” She turned fully then, her gaze sharp beneath calm lashes. “I heard you went to the omega territory,” she said gently. “When did that begin?” “Today,” I answered without shame. “I went with Aurora.” Her lips curved into a faint smile, but it did not reach her eyes. “You surprise me,” she said. “I did not think you would start going there.” “I didn’t either,” I admitted, letting out a small breath. “But I learned something today. They are not what we were taught. They are strong in ways we ignored. Thoughtful. Steady. They are the mind of this pack, Mother. I intend to end this separation.” For a moment, she was silent. Then she stepped closer, her voice lowering, sw

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   The Mind of the Pack

    Chapter 131 Liam I had thought strength was loud. That it roared in battle cries, in sharpened claws and bloodied ground, I had believed power lived only in those who stood at the front with weapons raised, who could tear through enemies and return without fear in their eyes. I was wrong. I realized it the moment I stood among the omegas—not above them, not separated by rank or throne, but within their space, breathing the same air, watching them move. They did not rush. They did not boast. They did not bend their heads in fear. They worked. Aurora stood at the center of their clearing, eyes closed, breath uneven. I could feel the pull of her power even from where I stood—a quiet pressure, like the air before a storm. Her golden wolf stirred beneath her skin, restless, immense. It frightened her. I saw it in the tightness of her shoulders, the way her fingers trembled before she stilled them. The omegas did not crowd her. They formed a wide circle instead, leaving space. A

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   I Love Liam

    Chapter 130 Aurora After Cassidy left, she suggested I train in the omega territory. She said they understood patience and control better than anyone else. I agreed. I returned to my chambers to change into something lighter, something meant for movement. I had just tied my hair back when the door opened quickly. My father and grandmother hurried in. “Is it true?” my father asked at once, his voice tight. “Did Damian come here?” “Yes,” I said. My grandmother’s brows drew together. “What did he ask of you?” “He wants me to visit my mother’s pack.” The air changed. “You can’t,” my father said sharply. Fear and anger tangled in his tone. “That man is dangerous. I don’t trust him. He’s after something.” “I know,” I said quietly. “But I want to know about my mother. Her people. Their ways. I know it’s risky—but I won’t go until I can protect myself. I also want to save his pack from him. My grandmother shook her head. “Aurora, he knows about your power. I’m sure of
