Chapter 70

Damien's POV

The council chambers hadn’t changed in a century.

I’d seen them only once before, as a child, when my father had brought me here to watch an Alpha’s trial. I remembered thinking it looked more like a mausoleum than a place of justice. Cold stone, no windows, twelve thrones carved from blackwood, and not a single flicker of warmth. Only judgment.

And now, they wanted to judge Alina.

We stood before the Council of Twelve in the heart of Ravenmoor’s high citadel, surrounded by guards from every allied pack—wolves who were meant to protect, but now held weapons against us. Alina was shackled in silver chains. Her eyes locked onto each council member as they entered and took their seats.

They weren’t ordinary Alphas.

These were the oldest of the old. The Council didn’t answer to kings or packs. They answered only to the old laws. Their presence was always rare, almost mythical. The last time they’d all convened, a rogue Alpha had tried to enslave half the continent.

    Chapter 71Alina's POVThere was nothing at first.No color, no sound—only the raw ache of emptiness. As if someone had taken a blade and carved out the part of me that remembered what it felt like to be whole.Then, like the faintest whisper, I heard it.A heartbeat.Not mine.His.Damien’s.I opened my eyes.We were lying in the middle of the old ruins, the sacred grounds beneath the Veil’s fracture point. The wind had gone still. The sky, once ripped wide open, was now sealed—a thin silver line where the breach had been. But something else was wrong.I turned to Damien.He was awake. Breathing.Alive.But his eyes… his eyes didn’t know me.He blinked slowly, sitting up, his brow furrowed in confusion. “Where… am I?”My heart clenched. “Damien?”He looked at me like I was a stranger. “Do I… know you?”Tears blurred my vision. “Yes. You know me. You’re Damien Thorn—Alpha of Blue Moon Pack. You’re mine. You’re my mate.”He pulled back slightly, wariness flashing across his face. “I do

    Chapter 69Alina's POVMy legs trembled as I stood beside Damien, the Queen’s Fang still warm in my hand.We were back in the real world—or at least, some version of it. I could feel the weight of gravity, the scent of soil and wind. But there was no relief in my chest.Because the sky was bleeding.A jagged crack split the heavens above us, black tendrils unfurling like smoke from a wound. Through it, I saw eyes. Dozens. Hundreds. Watching us from a place beyond light and logic.Damien saw it too. His body tensed, his hand instinctively finding mine.“We didn’t seal it,” I whispered, voice hoarse. “We tore the Veil, but we didn’t close it.”He shook his head slowly, watching the shadows that now slithered through the trees—silent, crawling across bark like oil. “No. We brought something with us.”From behind us, a scream echoed.Not just any scream—Freya’s.I spun around. We were no longer alone. The clearing was surrounded—by our people. Freya. Quinn. Tobias. All drawn by the magic

    Chapter 68Damien's POVHer hand was there. I felt it. Warm. Alive. Reaching through the Veil like a sunbeam through storm clouds.But then it vanished.The rift snapped shut, and the pulse of magic backfired so violently that the Seer collapsed beside me, blood dripping from her nose. I caught her before she hit the ground, but my eyes never left the place where the Veil had opened.She was alive. I knew it now. But she was trapped.“Open it again,” I said urgently, shaking the Seer. “You saw her—she was right there! Just do it again!”The Seer coughed weakly, eyes fluttering open. “The magic… it burned too much power. I can’t open it again, not without a sacrifice.”“Then take mine.”She blinked slowly, dazed. “It doesn’t work like that. The Veil doesn’t just open with strength. It needs balance. Something that belongs to her… something tethered to her essence. A key.”My chest tightened. “What kind of key?”The Seer lifted her hand shakily and pointed to the Queen’s Fang, which lay

    Chapter 67Alina's POVCold.It was the first thing I felt.Not the kind of cold that numbed the skin—but a deeper, soul-level chill. Like being submerged in water where time stood still. No air, no sound, no life. Only emptiness.I opened my eyes and found myself floating—not on land or sky, but in a gray expanse of nothing. Endless. A void without direction. No wind. No gravity. Just… drifting.My body felt whole, but it was weightless. My heartbeat was gone. The Queen’s Fang wasn’t in my hand. The circle, the battle, Damien, Mira… all gone. All silent.“Where am I?” My voice barely echoed. Like it didn’t belong here.I looked down, half-expecting to see a wound in my chest where my soul had been torn apart—but there was nothing. My hands looked like mine. My skin was pale, but unmarred. I touched my face. It was warm.But I wasn’t alive. I could feel it in the hollowness behind my ribcage.This was the in-between. The Veil.The place souls passed through on their way to the afterli

    Chapter 66Damien's POVThe moment Alina raised the Queen’s Fang and whispered her decision to sacrifice herself, my world tilted.“No,” I growled, stepping forward, my voice full of thunder and desperation. “You’re not doing this. There has to be another way.”She didn’t even look at me—her eyes were locked on the Seer, who was now weaving something powerful, ancient, and terrifying in the air between her glowing hands. I could see the lines of magic unraveling from Alina’s body like threads of silver light, flowing into the Seer’s spell circle.Alina turned, finally, and her eyes softened. “Damien,” she said quietly, “you have to let me do this.”“I won’t,” I said, my fists clenched. “I didn’t come this far just to lose you again. I’m the Alpha of this pack. I should be the one—”“You’re the one they need to lead,” she cut in sharply. “If I die, the pack lives. If you die… we’re finished. All of us.”Mira screamed from the right as a root slammed her against a tree. She coughed bloo

    Chapter 65 Alina's POV The forest around us was no longer just a battlefield—it had become a warzone of magic and fury, the air thick with the scent of smoke and the cries of combatants. My muscles burned with exhaustion, but adrenaline pushed me forward. I couldn’t let myself falter. Not now. Not when everything was at stake. Damien stood beside me, his wolf form towering and fierce, eyes blazing with determination. His growls echoed like thunder as he fought off the endless tide of shadow beasts summoned by the First Heir. Yet despite his strength, even he was being pushed back, his powerful strikes meeting with relentless resistance. Mira’s energy flickered, exhaustion evident in her trembling hands as she continued to weave protective spells around us. The Seer’s chanting grew more urgent, her voice a fragile lifeline in the chaos. I glanced at her, hoping for a sign—anything—that we had a chance to turn the tide. Then, through the smoke and swirling shadows, a new sound pier

    Chapter 64Alina's POVThe figure’s gaze bore into me, cold and sharp as winter ice. His silver robe shimmered unnaturally, reflecting the blinding light that pulsed around him like a living thing. The forest seemed to hold its breath, the air thick with tension and the scent of burnt earth.Damien stepped forward, low growl rumbling in his chest. “Who are you? Show yourself.”The man’s lips curved into a cruel smile. “I am the First Heir. The one who forged the pact between our kind and the darkness centuries ago.”I swallowed hard. This was the name I’d heard whispered in old legends, the ancestor who had betrayed his own blood to gain power. The one who was supposed to be dead.“You’re not supposed to exist,” I said, voice steady despite the shock. “Your time ended long ago.”He laughed, a sound like cracking ice. “Time is a river, and I have merely returned to claim what was stolen from me.”Mira stirred beside me, eyes still heavy but alert. She gripped my arm weakly. “Alina… be
