Chapter 78

Aurora

Lucious walked up to us, his usual confident stride turning heads as he approached. He greeted us casually, then leaned in to kiss Bella.

“Oh, please,” I groaned with a grin. “You two should really get a room.”

Bella laughed, blushing slightly. “Sorry, couldn’t help it.”

Lucious chuckled and looked around. “Why are you three arranging chairs? There are plenty of people who could handle that.”

Bella tugged playfully at his shirt. “Because it’s better than sitting around doing nothing. Besides, our dresses are already picked out.”

I nodded. “Yeah, everyone’s busy with something. It’s better to help out than just stay indoors.”

Cassidy, however, stood silently beside me, her expression distant — almost uneasy. My stomach tightened. Is she worried about my secret? Has she found a way to stop me from transforming tonight?

Lucious slipped an arm around Bella’s waist, his gaze soft. “I can’t wait to see you in your festival dress. You’re going to be the most beauti

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   I need time

    Chapter 102 Ronan Her scent rose through the air like a slow-unfurling spell, soft yet piercing, ancient yet new. It drifted into me before my mind could form a single thought, before reason could anchor my feet to the earth. Cassidy. The moment the cub’s claw tore the thread around my wrist, the world shifted. The earth beneath us steadied, the air thickened, and my wolf — silent for years — surged like a storm breaking from chains. Her fragrance filled my lungs, warm, wild, unbearably familiar. A scent made for me. A scent carved from fate. My breath hitched. My chest tightened. Something inside me snapped in place — ancient, primal, irreversible. I looked at her. She looked at me. And time… stilled. There was no Vale, no pack, no children training around us. No voices, no duties, no destinies. Only her — her eyes widening, her lips parting in the softest gasp, her heartbeat echoing in my veins as though it were my own. The bond opened like a door thrown wide, and I

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   A mirror of my own

    Chapter 101CassidyTraining the wolf-cubs drained every last drop of strength from me. Their tiny claws, their wild energy, their endless questions…it was enough to drive anyone mad. But what tormented me even more was the sight of Lucious and Bella gliding past each other like the world belonged to them alone — smiling, whispering, brushing hands—a perfect pair.My heart ached every time.Why can’t I let him goWhat kind of friend am I, carrying feelings for my friend’s mateHe was my first love… letting go feels like tearing off a limb.And Selene — spirits above — Selene had been restless, furious, pacing like a wolf denied a kill ever since she discovered Liam had left the Vale. She knew he had gone after Aurora. I feared what madness she might unleash.Then I saw Ronan.He was preparing to leave for his own pack, cloak draped over his shoulder. Selene’s schemes had failed — she had used him to keep Aurora away from Liam, and now that the plan crumbled, she cast him aside. I coul

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   That was my mate

    Chapter 100 Liam Cassidy’s message reached me by mirrorlight — short, grim, and edged with urgency. Your father knows. He has discovered you’ve gone to the human Vale. Of course, he had. He always did. He knows his son well. He knew that once I set my mind on something, not even the gods of the Moon could change it. I hesitated to go after her when he told me she was safer in the human Vale than in the supernatural one. I wanted to believe him. I tried to. But I couldn’t leave her there, not alone. Every part of me rebelled against it. The thought of her living among humans, unaware of the dangers that could creep in from both worlds, made my blood burn. So I went. I gathered a few of my most trusted wolves and crossed into the human Vale. I told myself it was to make sure she was safe. But deep down, I knew the truth—I couldn’t stay away.The air was thick with human scents as I passed her dwelling once more—quiet streets, muted chatter, and that familiar heartbeat I could re

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   Broken the same way

    Chapter 99 Aurora Grandma’s voice broke the silence first. “You didn’t let me finish before you walked out, Aurora. When he came by last time, he wanted to make amends. So… since you’re back, I called him over.” My chest tightened. “To make amends by asking if I turned out like my mother?” I asked, my tone quiet but sharp. My father looked at me. “No, Aurora,” he said softly. “I came because I’m sorry. I didn’t just come to ask about what you’ve become. I wanted to help you understand what your mother was… what you are. I learned a little from her before she passed, and I should have been there to guide you. I should have protected you.” I let out a bitter laugh. “That’s why you came back? After all these years? To help me understand myself?” My voice trembled. “You think it’s that easy — to walk back in after abandoning me?” “I know I hurt you,” he said, his voice breaking. “I left when you needed me most. I didn’t connect, I didn’t care the way I should have. I was angry… and

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   A Monster

    Chapter 98 Aurora The morning was quiet, warm, and soft like a memory you don’t want to wake from. I sat beside Grandma Rose on the couch, both of us working the yarn in slow, steady loops. Her presence always felt like safety. Like home. “I’m going to look for a job today,” I said, keeping my eyes on the scarf. Grandma hummed, gentle but worried. “Are you sure you’re not going back to the Vale?” My chest tightened. “I… don’t think so, Grandma. I’ll learn to control myself during the full moons.” I hoped. I prayed. The potion Cassidy gave me would help for a while, but after that… I’d be on my own. I didn’t want to hurt Grandma. Not her. Never her. “Well, then,” she said, patting my hand, “let’s finish this row so you can get started.” But something changed. A scent. Warm. Strong. Familiar in a way that wrapped around my ribs. Liam. My heart jumped, as if my body knew him before my mind did. I stood up so quickly the yarn slipped from my fingers. Grandma looke

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   It mirrored mine

    Chapter 97LiamI summoned only the wolves I trusted, those whose loyalty was proven by more than words. They gathered in the castle courtyard at my call, heads bowed, awaiting command. I told them to prepare for a journey beyond the Vale—into the human world.Before leaving, I sought Cassidy.She was still at the training grounds, breath hot, fists marked from striking wood.“You cannot be serious,” she said the moment I explained. “Liam, she is safe there. What we need to watch is Selene. If anyone threatens Aurora now, it will be her.”“I will have eyes on Selene,” I answered. “And on that wolf, Ronan, who lingers too comfortably near my mate.”Cassidy paused. Then, for the first time since all of this began, she smiled faintly.“Your mate. And now jealousy. You’re in love.”“I am not in love.” My voice was steady, but she continued to smile.“She is my mate. I protect what is mine.”Cassidy crossed her arms. “Her being your mate doesn’t mean you should guard her like a locked jour
