Aria’s POV

Sarah's quarters were supposed to be empty. As Dimitri's secretary, she should have been preparing our travel documents for the journey north. Instead, I heard her voice through the door, speaking in that ancient language that made reality flinch.

"Yes, he's dead," she said in English suddenly. "But the situation is more complex than anticipated."

I pressed closer, my newly awakened senses picking up the electric hum of something unnatural. Through a crack in the door, I saw her holding what looked like a phone except it was made of ice and shadow, pulsing with each word.

"The Queen is stronger than predicted. And the Lycan..." She paused. "No, Marcus never stood a chance. The bloodlines are both pure. Both awakened."

My blood chilled. Sarah, efficient, loyal Sarah who'd served Dimitri for three years was the leak. Every Council decision, every strategic plan, every weakness catalogued and sold.

"I've sent the Council minutes," she continued, typing on a laptop that should

  • The Lycan's Contract Bride    Chapter Sixty-three

    Aria's POV The moon goddess's presence in our network shifted from benevolent to something far more complex. As her consciousness fully awakened, I felt ancient anger stirring—not hot but cold, vast, and absolute.*What have you done to my creation?*Her voice changed, no longer gentle but carrying the weight of eons. Through our connection, I saw her perceiving the changes—merged realms, broken rules, transformed fundamental forces."We evolved it," I said, standing despite the pressure of divine displeasure. "Made it better."*Better?* The goddess materialized fully, no longer just presence but form—terrible and beautiful, shifting between youth and age, creator and destroyer. *I designed everything with purpose. Separate realms to prevent contamination. Controlled breeding to maintain species integrity. Predetermined fates to ensure stability.*"You designed a prison," Dead-Timeline-Aria said bluntly. "Pretty, but still a cage."The goddess turned to her, and I saw my alternate wi

  • The Lycan's Contract Bride    Chapter Sixty-two

    Aria's POV The moment before Dimitri could break our bond, I felt the chain pulse with different possibility—not severance but expansion."Wait," I commanded, my hand catching his wrist. "We're thinking about this wrong. Why break what we can grow?""Aria, the entropy burden—""Should be shared, yes. But not just between three." I turned to the gathered witnesses—my seven alternates, Marina, Sarah, the merged Lunas. "What if we didn't break bonds but created more? A network instead of a triangle?"Marcus laughed darkly. "You want to contaminate everyone with entropy? Spread dissolution like a virus?""I want to dilute it like medicine. Too concentrated, it's poison. Properly distributed, it's healing."Through the chain, I saw the pattern—not geometric but organic, growing like neural pathways or root systems. Each connection voluntary, each person choosing their level of involvement."A collective consciousness that maintains individual identity," Scholar-Luna breathed, immediately

  • The Lycan's Contract Bride    Chapter Sixty one

    Aria's POV The bonding chamber was a sphere of pure possibility—walls that existed in every state simultaneously, floor that was both solid and void. Sarah had helped us construct it across all timelines, ensuring no matter what happened, some version would succeed.Kieran stood at the center, void energy already seeping from his form like inverse light. Three days of preparation had transformed him—not physically but essentially. He was learning to think like entropy, to understand destruction as art rather than violence."Remember," Scholar-Luna instructed from outside the sphere, "entropy isn't evil. It's just... thorough. It seeks equilibrium, balance, the state of least resistance.""And I need to give it purpose beyond that," Kieran said. "Direction. Choice."Marcus materialized beside me—not to interfere but to observe. "He'll be consumed. Entropy doesn't share—it spreads.""Then we'll teach it to share." I activated the chain, feeling its infinite perspectives flow through me

    Aria's POV Luna's seven aspects materialized in the council chamber simultaneously, but this time they arranged themselves in a circle rather than merging. Each one radiated distinct energy—Child, Scholar, Feral, Queen, Time-Loop, Void-Touched, and Divine—yet they moved in perfect synchronization."We've been thinking separately but concluding together," Scholar-Luna began, her crystalline form refracting light into equations."Adults always complicate things," Child-Luna added, swinging her legs from her chair. "You see entropy as enemy because it ends things. But endings aren't evil—they're just part of the pattern.""Consider nature," Feral-Luna growled softly. "Predator and prey. Growth and decay. Neither is wrong—both are necessary."I leaned forward, the chain showing me where their logic led. "You're suggesting we stop fighting entropy entirely?""We're suggesting you stop seeing it as separate," Queen-Luna stated with royal authority. "In trying to preserve everything forever

  • The Lycan's Contract Bride    Chapter Fifty-nine

    Aria's POV David arrived in flames that didn't burn—phoenix fire that transformed rather than destroyed. His human form was now just a suggestion, a memory of shape within an inferno of rebirth."I've been thinking," he said, his voice carrying the crackle of stars being born. "About cycles. About endings that become beginnings."We'd gathered in the transformed garden, all seven of my alternates present, both mates, Marina, Sarah flickering through timelines, and now David in his transcendent form."Let me guess," Dead-Timeline-Aria said dryly. "You have a solution that involves burning everything down.""Not burning. Renewing." David's flames pulsed with conviction. "The phoenix doesn't just survive death—it controls it. Chooses when to end and begin. What if we did the same with the universe?""Explain," I said, though the chain was already showing me possibilities I didn't like."We trigger universal rebirth intentionally. Before the Devourer can escape. Before entropy wins." His

  • The Lycan's Contract Bride    Chapter Fifty-eight

    Aria's POV Marcus returned within the hour, but this time he came to talk. He sat across from me in the garden—the same garden where we'd shared tea lifetimes ago, when we both still pretended to be simply human."You want to understand," he said, not a question."I want to know why someone chooses to become entropy's avatar. You had to choose, didn't you? Entropy couldn't force consciousness."He smiled, genuinely this time. "You're right. It was a choice. The most deliberate choice I ever made.""Tell me."Marcus gazed at flowers that would inevitably wilt, trees that would eventually fall. "I was a physicist before—in my first life. I studied thermodynamics, watched energy spread and dissipate, measured the slow death of stars. Do you know what I learned?""That everything ends?""That everything suffers before it ends." His form flickered, showing glimpses of the entropy beneath. "I calculated it once—the total amount of suffering that would exist between now and heat death. Ever
