Chapter 69

Aurora’s POV

By the time training ended, my arms ached pleasantly, and my stomach reminded me I hadn’t eaten since morning. The three of us sat down for lunch in the mess hall, the warm smell of roasted meat and bread filling the air. I ate quietly, my mind wandering.

It struck me then—I had been here almost a month. A month of training, learning, connecting… and yet my thoughts drifted to my grandmother. Was she safe? Did she miss me as much as I missed her?

The silence wrapped around me until Bella suddenly burst out laughing, loud enough to startle me.

I raised a brow at her. “What’s so funny?”

Bella grinned, already half choking on her food from laughter. “I just remembered something. Cassidy—do you remember when we were kids, and your dad asked all of us to help gather herbs from the forest?”

Cassidy laughed immediately. “Oh, the day Liam swore he was too important to be running errands?”

Aurora raised her brows, intrigued. “What happened?”

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   Delusional

    Chapter 76 Aurora’s POV I woke to the sound of commotion outside my room — hurried footsteps, clattering dishes, and voices echoing through the hallway. What’s going on? Curious, I stepped out and saw servants bustling about the castle grounds, carrying trays, jars, decorations, and even heavy stone lanterns toward the courtyard. The air buzzed with energy and purpose. “What’s happening?” I asked a woman struggling with a carved wooden chair. “Oh—Lady Aurora!” she said, smiling briefly before shifting the chair in her arms. “Tonight’s the full moon, and we always hold a festival before the moon rises.” “A festival?” I asked, intrigued. “So where’s all this going?” “We’re setting everything up outside the castle, by the great clearing,” she said, adjusting her grip again. “You can ask Lady Cassidy for more details—she’s helping with the preparations. I really need to get back before they notice I’m gone.” “Of course—thank you,” I said warmly. She gave a quick grin and hurried

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   Her Plan Begins

    Chapter 75 Selene’s POV Hidden in the shadows of the hallway, I watched as Liam stepped out of Aurora’s room. My heart pounded, but I stayed still — quiet enough to hear every word that left his mouth moments before. So… he felt something from her. The memory flashed before my eyes — earlier that day, when I had pretended to be sick and he carried me to my room. I remembered the way he paused, his brows furrowing as if something had struck him. Could that have been the moment he felt it? That strange surge he spoke about? Could it have come from her? The thought made my stomach twist with anger. How could Aurora — that plain, quiet girl — have that pull on him? My jaw tightened. Liam is mine. Whatever that connection was, whatever power or bond they shared, I would crush it before it grew any stronger. I wouldn’t let some outsider take what rightfully belonged to me. “I will be Luna,” I whispered to myself, my voice sharp with venom. “The Luna of the most powerful pack in t

    Chapter 74Aurora’s POVThe walk from the training field to my room felt longer than usual. My thoughts wouldn’t stop spinning.Golden eyes? A prophecy?None of it made any sense. I came here to understand myself better. Why does everything have to be so complicated?By the time I reached my room, exhaustion had already wrapped around me like a heavy blanket. I collapsed onto the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.“I must not transform tomorrow,” I whispered. “If I do… everything will get worse.”With a sigh, I stood up to change. My corset was tight and unyielding as I struggled with the hooks.“Urgh! These clothes are ridiculous! Who even wears this kind of outfit to a training field?” I muttered, tugging harder. The fabric gave a sharp rip, and suddenly, the top tore open, leaving my upper body exposed.Before I could even react, the door creaked open.“Oh,” a familiar voice said casually.I froze. “Liam?!”He stood there, completely unfazed.“What are you doing in my room?! You

    Chapter 73Cassidy’s POVOn her way back to the castle, Cassidy’s thoughts drifted—uninvited—toward Lucious.When they were children, they had been inseparable. Lucious, Bella, and Cassidy. They played together in the gardens, hid behind the training halls, and spent long afternoons chasing each other beneath the silver trees of the Vale. But while Bella often went home to her father—the Beta—Cassidy remained in the castle. Her father, an Alpha and a gifted sorcerer, served the King closely, and so the castle became her second home.She and Lucious had grown up side by side. What started as friendship had bloomed into something deeper—soft glances, shy touches, whispered promises. Their bond had felt unbreakable… until his nineteenth birthday.Cassidy could still remember the night clearly—the music, the laughter, the glow of torches against the marble walls. Then, everything stopped. She saw it the moment it happened—Lucious froze, his eyes finding Bella across the room. The air betw

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   The Secret of the Golden Eyes

    Chapter 72Cassidy’s POV My heart pounded as I ran home, my mind spinning faster than my legs could carry me. Golden eyes. Aurora’s eyes were golden. It couldn’t be. It shouldn’t be. I slammed the door behind me and rushed straight to the bookshelf, yanking out an old, dusty book — The Prophecies of the Moonborn. My hands trembled as I flipped through the worn pages until I found it. “When a wolf with golden eyes is born, her awakening marks the dawn of great change. Upon maturity, her blood and essence shall hold the power of immortality. Her rise will call forth bloodshed and war, for many shall seek what only her death can give.” I felt my stomach twist. My breath came in sharp gasps as I continued reading. “The golden-eyed wolf is rare beyond measure. Her power is both a blessing and a curse. Should a wolf fall beside her, she may absorb its essence — its strength, its hearing, its speed. But her gift will bring ruin if revealed, for those who crave power will hunt her until
