Chapter 54

Liam’s POV

He reached the armory, the familiar scent of steel and fire wrapping around him. He demanded to see if his personal blade was ready, and the blacksmith quickly brought it out. The gleam of the steel, perfectly sharpened and balanced, made Liam’s chest swell with pride. At least here, things were as they should be—precise, controlled, flawless.

Just as he was admiring the weapon, someone slipped into the room quietly. The man leaned close and whispered, “Your mother… she’s in the kingdom.”

For a moment, Liam froze. His mind went blank. Then rage crashed over him like a storm. His hand shot out, gripping the man’s throat tightly. His voice was low, dangerous, vibrating with fury.

“You’d better not be joking with me.”

The man struggled, gasping, but managed to nod. “I-I swear, my lord. She’s here. I can take you to her.”

The blacksmith’s hammer stilled, his worried eyes darting between them. “Is everything all right, my prince?”

Liam released the man

  • 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

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   Bring her home

    Chapter 96 I did not approach quietly. I stormed into my father’s chambers, the heavy doors rattling against stone. “Why did you send Aurora away from the Vale?” I demanded, my voice sharp as steel. My father looked upon me with the cold stare he had mastered since my mother was banished. “She is dangerous to us all,” he said, unshaken. “Dangerous?” I stepped closer, fists clenched. “She is my mate. Under my watch, no war will rise. No blade will touch her. She will not be sacrificed—not unless I fall first.” A low laugh escaped him. “You speak as though fate bends to your will. The war will come, Liam. The prophecy is set. None can alter it.” “Then what sense does it make to send her away?” I snapped. “You claim you banished her to prevent a war—yet you say the war is inevitable. Speak plainly.” He exhaled, weary, ancient. “Cassidy’s mother foresaw a great shift. A wolf of golden eyes—destiny tied to fire and blood. We did not know it would be your mate.” The chamber fell
