LOGIN• JASON • The palace still felt wrong after the prophet died. Like the entire kingdom was holding its breath waiting for something terrible to happen next. Nobody recovered properly after the earthquake either. Servants moved around nervously whispering prayers under their breath while warriors doubled security around the palace walls like extra guards would somehow stop whatever ancient nightmare was unfolding around us. The prophet’s body had barely gone cold before Nelson and I locked ourselves inside the war room trying to make sense of everything. Which honestly was impossible at this point. The first omega. Storm powers. Entire packs burning to ashes. Mate bonds being erased. And Caleb right at the center of all of it. I rubbed both hands over my face tiredly while staring down at the kingdom map spread across the table. “We need to find him before somebody else does.” Nelson stood near the window looking equally exhausted. His eyes looked darker these days.
• NELSON •Before I could fully process what the prophet said properly, the entire palace suddenly shook violently beneath our feet.At first I thought another attack had started.Then the ground cracked.A deep terrifying sound echoed through the kingdom like the earth itself was screaming in pain. Servants immediately started panicking while warriors stumbled into walls trying to stay upright.“What the hell—”Jason grabbed the nearest pillar instantly as another violent tremor tore through the palace hard enough to send massive chandeliers crashing from the ceiling.People screamed.The walls shook again.Then again. It felt exactly like an earthquake except worse somehow. Because beneath the destruction…I felt power.Ancient power. The same storm energy lingering around the Blood Moon ruins.The same energy connected to Caleb. My wolf went completely alert inside me.Danger.Every instinct screamed danger. Nearby guards fell to the ground while cracks spread across the marble flo
• JASON •The ride back to the palace felt like carrying the weight of an entire collapsing world on our shoulders.Neither Nelson nor I spoke much after leaving the Blood Moon territory because honestly there was nothing left to say. The smell of ashes still clung to our clothes. Burned bodies still haunted my head. And those words…The first omega will either save your species or destroy what remains of it.Goddess.I hated how much those words sounded possible now.Rain stayed unusually silent inside my head too. No sarcastic comments. No arguments about Caleb being fake. My wolf finally remembered him completely and the realization clearly shook him harder than he wanted to admit.Weather sounded equally disturbed through Nelson.Our wolves remembered everything now.Every touch.Every scent.Every emotion.And worst of all?The mate bond returned in full force the second Caleb’s scent hit us at Blood Moon territory.The absence I felt for the past month suddenly made sense now.
• NELSON •“Haaaa~~~!” The scream ripped out of my throat before I could stop it.Pain exploded through my chest so violently that my knees nearly gave out beneath me. One second I was standing beside Jason on the balcony trying to process Caleb’s scent suddenly appearing out of nowhere after one entire month of silence.The next?It felt like somebody shoved their hand inside my chest and twisted my heart apart. Beside me Jason screamed too.“HAAAAA!”Jackie jumped backward in complete shock while nearby servants froze in panic.The pain came again instantly.Harder this time.I grabbed the stone railing so tightly it cracked beneath my grip while another broken sound escaped my mouth. Goddess. It felt like thousands of invisible blades were being dragged through every nerve inside my body.My wolf roared violently trying to absorb the pain for me, but even he sounded affected.That alone terrified me. Because nothing hurts Alpha Kings like this.Nothing.“Haaa—fuck!” Jason cursed be
• JASON • It had been one full month since Caleb disappeared. One month since the marking incident. One month since the omega who stole our heart vanished from the palace like smoke carried away by the wind. And somehow… Things only became more insane afterward. Because nobody remembered him. Not partially. Not vaguely. Completely. As if Caleb never existed at all. I stood silently on the balcony outside my chambers staring at the kingdom below while cold morning wind brushed against my face. The palace grounds looked beautiful today. Banners decorated the walls. Servants rushed around preparing for tonight’s celebration while wolves filled the lower courtyards carrying flowers, gifts, and ceremonial wine. Normally this kind of event excited the kingdom. Today it only made me feel sick. “I can’t continue this arrangement anymore,” Nelson muttered from behind me sounding like life itself betrayed him personally. Honestly same. I leaned both hands against the stone railing
• CALEB •“I’m sorry for making you feel like shit.”Stormy’s voice echoed quietly inside my head, and honestly hearing him sound guilty should have made me feel better. Instead it just made me more exhausted.“Fuck off,” I muttered while staring blankly at the ceiling above me.The room still smelled faintly like the Alpha twins. Cedar. Smoke. Winter. Their scent clung to the sheets and pillows so deeply it almost felt unfair. Even after they left, it was like their presence remained wrapped around me anyway.Annoying.Everything about them was annoying.Especially the fact that despite everything that happened earlier…Some stupid part of me still wanted them back here. I groaned loudly before dragging both hands over my face.God.I was tired.Not physically tired.Soul tired.Too many emotions. Too many secrets. Too many things happening at once while I still barely understood my own body anymore.“You know,” Stormy started carefully, “for someone emotionally unstable, you insult
