LOGINChapter 185 Liam The forest blurred around me. Branches clawed at my fur as I ran, paws pounding relentlessly against the earth. Every muscle in my body burned, but I didn’t slow down. I couldn’t. Her scent was everywhere. Faint. Fading. But still there. Aurora. I pushed harder, lungs screaming, heart hammering violently against my ribs. The world had narrowed down to one thing—one direction—one purpose. Find her. Save her. Please… just let me not be too late. The thought repeated over and over in my mind like a curse. Images flashed without warning. Aurora smiling. Aurora crying. Aurora is weak in my arms. Aurora… gone. A low, broken growl tore from my throat as I ran faster, my wolf surging forward with desperation. The bond between us pulsed faintly, guiding me like an invisible thread. She was close. Too close. Something was wrong. The air shifted. The scent of blood grew stronger. Not just a little. Too much. And beneath it—
Chapter 184Aurora’s POVThe forest spun with firelight and blood.Every breath I took burned.Every step felt heavier than the last.But I didn’t stop.I couldn’t.Damian stood across from me in his half-man, half-wolf form—towering, monstrous, and terrifyingly controlled. His body was built for war, muscles shifting beneath dark fur, his claws glinting under the flickering torchlight. His eyes locked onto me with cruel precision, studying me like I was already his.Like I had already lost.A low growl rumbled from my chest.Not prey.Never again.My golden eyes burned as I circled him, paws digging into the damp earth. Around us, wolves tore into each other, the sounds of battle crashing endlessly—snarls, screams, bones breaking. The air was thick with blood and fear.But none of that mattered.Only him.Only the life inside me.A sharp pain twisted through my abdomen again.Stronger.Sharper.My body faltered for half a second.Stay strong… please…I didn’t know if I was speaking t
Chapter 183ScarlettEverything was slipping.I could feel it.Like sand between my fingers— no matter how tightly I tried to hold on, it kept falling away.My claws tore through the throat of the wolf beneath me, hot blood spilling across my fur as his body dropped lifeless to the ground. I barely spared him a glance. Another lunged, and I met him midair, our bodies colliding with a force that shook the earth beneath us.Pain. Rage. Noise.War.But none of it mattered.Because this was not how it was supposed to go.I landed hard, shifting partially back, breath uneven as I scanned the battlefield.My wolves were still many.Still strong.Still fighting.But so were they.My ex-husband.My parents.His parents.All of them standing against me.The betrayal burned deeper than any wound.They chose him.They chose Liam.A bitter laugh escaped my lips as I wiped blood from my chin.Of course they did.Even now, after everything I had done— after everything I had sacrificed— they still c
Chapter 182 Liam “How could you do this?” Lucious demanded. Scarlett didn’t answer. “How could you do this to your sons?” he continued, his voice breaking slightly. “Your own family!” Lucious stepped forward, shaking with emotion. “All because of power?” he shouted. “You will never be happy like this!” Scarlett smiled faintly. “This throne,” she said calmly, “this power, this entire Vale— that will make me the happiest woman alive.” Lucious stared at her like he didn’t recognize the person standing before him. “Let my brother go,” he growled. His voice carried a quiet threat. “Everyone is hurt. Cassidy is injured inside the castle. Bella is heartbroken. Aurora’s parents are terrified. You’ve done enough damage.” He stepped closer. “Leave us alone.” Scarlett tilted her head slightly. Then she glanced toward her wolves. Instantly they shifted positions, circling Lucious. Preparing to capture him too. Lucious bared his teeth. “Don’t,” he warned.
Chapter 181 Liam The ground beneath me smelled like blood and ash. I could feel it against my palms where they had forced me down. Dirt pressed into my skin. My chest heaved with every breath, each inhale sharp and uneven, like my lungs had forgotten how to breathe without her. Aurora. The name echoed through my head again and again, louder than the war, louder than the snarls of wolves around me. Aurora was gone. They had taken her. I had seen it with my own eyes— Damian and his wolves moving through the trees with her limp body in his grasp. And I had done nothing. The thought clawed through my chest like something alive. My body was caught between forms, half man and half wolf. Dark fur spread across my shoulders and arms, claws digging into the soil where they held me down. My teeth were sharper now, my breathing ragged, a low growl constantly vibrating in my throat. But it wasn’t rage that filled me. It was something worse. Helplessness. The wolves p
Chapter 180Damian The forest grew darker the deeper we went.That was intentional.Ancient trees towered above us, their twisted branches choking out most of the moonlight. The air here felt heavier, older— the kind of place where rituals were meant to happen, where blood had been spilled long before tonight.Perfect.My wolves moved carefully, forming a tight circle around our prize.Aurora.She had been bound inside a reinforced iron cage carried by four warriors. The metal was old but strong, lined with silver threads to weaken any wolf who tried to force their way out.She hadn’t spoken.Hadn’t begged.She had watched.Silent. Still.I found that more interesting than panic.Most people, when they realize they are about to become a sacrifice, scream.Aurora didn’t.We reached the clearing I had chosen earlier— a natural stone basin carved by time itself. Moss covered the rocks, and a shallow altar stood at the center, blackened from rituals long forgotten.“Set her down,” I orde
Chapter 108 Liam I remained outside her home long after the ambulance carried her father away. The wail of the human siren faded into the distance, yet my fury did not. It coiled in my chest like an old beast waking, pacing, hungry. Those three wolves dared lay hands upon my mate’s blood. U
Chapter 106LiamThe morning lay quiet over the mortal town, its pale light spreading like a thin veil across the rooftops. I stood at the window, which I had taken as my watchpost—silent, unmoving, a shadow carved from stone. For days I had tracked her, guarded her, breathed in the faint thread of
Chapter 113Aurora I woke to the first light creeping across the Vale, my mind heavy but determined. Today, I would make the decision I had been avoiding. I had to agree. To the marriage. My heart still fluttered at the thought, but I knew it was the only way to secure my safety and gain the time
Chapter 110Aurora After we finished eating, and after I had shown my dad and Grandma around the enormous castle that still felt too unreal to be true, I decided to look for Cassidy. I needed her warmth, her honesty, her strange but familiar presence. So much had happened in a single day that my m
