Chapter 163

Scarlett

The moment the news reached me that Liam had taken warriors and ridden out to rescue Aurora, a cold, sharp fear slipped into my chest.

So it had finally happened.

If Aurora were found… she would speak.

And once she spoke, everything would unravel.

For a few seconds, I stood in the center of my chamber, my fingers pressed lightly against the edge of the table to steady myself. I had known this moment might come, but knowing it and facing it were two very different thin

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   Greatest Change

    Chapter 196 Aurora Five months. It had been five months since Liam opened his eyes and came back to me. Five months since I had cried against his chest, convinced I had been given a second chance at life. And now, as I sat on the balcony outside our chambers with Liam’s arms wrapped around me, I could hardly recognize the woman I had been before the war. My belly was enormous now. Our baby had grown so much that even walking had become an adventure I didn’t particularly enjoy. Liam, however, found the whole thing adorable. “You’re staring again,” I muttered. “I like looking at you.” “You’re looking at my stomach.” “Because our baby is in there.” I turned my head and gave him a suspicious look. “You’ve been saying that for five months.” “And it remains true.” I laughed softly. Five months. So much had happened in those months. The kingdom was peaceful now. The rebuilding was almost complete, the markets were busy again, and the wolves who had once

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   Healing

    Chapter 195 Liam Months had passed since I opened my eyes and found Aurora beside me. Sometimes, I still woke in the middle of the night and reached for her before I was fully awake. And every time my hand found her warmth, I remembered that she was still here. So was I. We had survived. Not untouched. Not unchanged. But together. The kingdom had begun to bloom again. The broken walls had been rebuilt, the wounded had healed, and the laughter that had once disappeared from our halls had slowly returned. Even the omegas, who had carried more responsibility during the war than anyone gave them credit for, had become more involved in the rebuilding of the kingdom. I made sure their voices were heard now. They had taught me something I would never forget: strength wasn’t always found on a battlefield. Sometimes, it was found in the hands of someone preparing food for hundreds of wolves. Sometimes, it was in the wisdom of someone who knew exactly where supplies were

    Chapter 194LiamHer voice shattered everything.The darkness around me cracked violently, breaking apart piece by piece, but all I could focus on was her.Aurora.Crying in front of me.Begging me to come back.My chest hurt.Not physically.Something deeper.Something unbearable.“I cannot survive losing you.”Her words echoed through me over and over again.And suddenly…I wanted to live.Not for the throne.Not for the kingdom.For her.For the child waiting for me.For the life we hadn’t finished building together.My fingers tightened around hers instinctively.Aurora’s breath hitched.“Liam…” she whispered.Fear flooded me instantly.Because she looked weak.Too weak.Dark circles beneath her eyes. Exhaustion in her face. Her body trembling slightly, as if she was barely holding herself together.“She let herself come here for me…” Realization hit me painfully.“She risked herself…”“She risked our baby…”For me.The guilt nearly destroyed me.“Aurora…” My voice broke completel

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   Don't Be Scared

    Chapter 193 Aurora He was still scared. I could see it in his eyes. Not fear of death. Fear of himself. Fear that he had failed me too deeply to deserve coming back. And that broke me. How could someone so strong look so shattered? How could the man who carried everyone’s pain believe he was unworthy of love? My chest ached as I stepped closer to him carefully. “Liam…” I whispered softly. “Do you know what my greatest fear is?” His eyes lifted to mine slowly, vulnerable in a way I had never seen before. Not as an Alpha. Not as a king. Just… as the man I loved. “Living in a world where you no longer exist.” His expression cracked instantly. Pain flashed across his face, raw and unguarded. Tears blurred my vision as I held his gaze. “You think loving you ruined my life?” My voice trembled. “You think you brought me nothing but pain?” I shook my head slowly. “Before you, I was only surviving.” A tear slipped down my cheek. “I woke up every day just trying to make i

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   Find Me In The Dark

    Chapter 192Aurora’s POVThe room fell into a tense silence.No one moved.No one breathed too loudly.It felt like the entire world had paused to watch what I was about to do.Cassidy arranged pillows behind me carefully. “You need to lie beside him,” she said softly. “Your bodies must be close. The bond is stronger that way.”My heart pounded harder.I nodded and slowly climbed onto the bed, ignoring the weakness in my limbs. My body still hadn’t fully recovered, but I pushed past it. I lay beside Liam, turning slightly so I faced him.He looked the same.Still.Quiet.Unreachable.My fingers slid into his, lacing them together.“They may start to slow,” Cassidy warned quietly. “Your breathing… your heartbeat. Don’t panic. Just focus on finding him.”Lucious stepped forward suddenly. “Aurora… wait.”I looked up at him.His eyes were red. “If something goes wrong—”“I know,” I whispered.Bella squeezed his hand, holding him back. My grandmother wiped her tears silently. My father sto

  • The Half-Life of a Werewolf   If I lose Myself

    Aurora’s POVThe sixth day broke something inside me.Not loudly. Not suddenly. Just slowly… like a thread snapping after being stretched too far.Liam still hadn’t woken up.I sat beside him, staring at his face, searching for something—anything—that would tell me he was still fighting. A twitch. A breath. A change. But there was nothing. Just the same stillness. The same quiet.My fingers tightened around his.“This isn’t fair,” I whispered.My voice sounded hollow even to me.“I came back… I woke up… I fought… and you’re still gone.”The frustration had been building for hours—maybe days. I couldn’t tell anymore. My chest felt tight, my thoughts restless, my emotions swinging between anger and fear so quickly it made me dizzy.“You don’t get to leave me like this!” I snapped suddenly, my voice louder than I intended.Everyone in the room looked up.Lucious stepped forward carefully. “Aurora—”“No,” I said sharply. “Don’t tell me to calm down. Don’t tell me he needs time. It’s been
