Zade's Pov

The candlelight burned low in my office, filling the air with the heavy scent of wax and smoke. The night pressed against the tall windows, thick and black, as if the world itself had cloaked its face from the things we were about to say. Shadows clung to every corner, curling like claws, restless, hungry. It was the perfect setting for the work at hand.

Draven stood at the long oak table, his hands braced against the scarred surface, his eyes sharp and cold. He had the look of a man forged in steel and blood, every line of him cut by violence.

Beside him, Kiera leaned back in her chair, her lips twisted into that sly half-smile she wore so well, the smile that promised both comfort and cruelty in the same breath.

Two others from my most trusted circle sat farther down, quiet, watchful, waiting for me to speak.

This was not a council for the faint-hearted. This was war in its rawest form.

I let the silence stretch a moment longer, letting them feel the weight of it. Then

    Nyx's Pov This particular library always felt safe to me.Quiet, calm, tucked away from the storms that raged outside in the real world.Ryker walked beside me, hands stuffed in his pockets. His face was relaxed, but I could see that sharp watchfulness in his eyes that never really left him. He was always on guard. Always ready.I had worn a hoodie to shield my face from everyone so that they wouldn't be able to recognize me, that is if they knew my face.When we stepped into the library, I noticed immediately that Miss Elsie wasn’t behind the counter. Instead, a young girl with long brown hair sat there. She looked up as we entered, and her eyes landed on Ryker.She froze. Her lips parted a little. And then she just stared.I couldn’t help it as I laughed at the sight.Ryker frowned and glanced at me. “Whats so funny?” “Nothing,” I said, smirking as I looked at the girl. “But I think you just made someone’s day.”The girl snapped out of it quickly, cheeks turning pink. She stood an

    Caspian's Pov Around me, my warriors lifted their heads and howled, one after another. Their voices rose like a storm, filling the battlefield with raw power and loyalty. “Caspian”, my wolf whispered inside me, his voice deep and wild. “They see us. They follow us. Lead them. We're one again.” I stood tall, my beast form towering over the others. My claws were sharper than steel, my fur dark as night, my eyes glowing blood-red. And across from me, I saw it. Zade’s golden eyes widened. For the first time, there was fear in them. He shifted back into his wolf form instantly, his paws digging into the ground as he backed away slowly. His warriors closed around him protectively, forming a barrier. But I could smell his fear. I could taste it. I bared my fangs. “Alpha!” Kyle’s voice boomed behind me, rough but strong. “You’re back. You’re whole.” I growled low, my beast responding more than my words. "She did this," I thought. "Nyx did this. I knew she was the one." "Took you

    Caspian's Pov The entire house felt cold without her. Nyx’s scent still lingered faintly in the room, soft and haunting, and every time I caught it, my chest tightened like someone had driven a blade into it. I sat behind my desk, my hands pressed against my temples. My mind was in chaos. Why didn’t I just say it? Why didn’t I tell her the truth? That I could love her. That I already did. That she owned me and that she had my heart. Now she had left me. And when she did, I felt like it was a goodbye for good. I knew I had hurt her. And even though I knew where she went, I was respecting her decision. I couldn't even stop her when she left. I watched her from my office window as she entered Kyle's car. When Kyle had returned, he had told me to go get her back but I ignored him. I needed to make sure I wouldn't hurt her again. I needed to make sure I was worthy of her before I would go to her. I was sure of that now. The knock on my door snapped me out of my thoughts. “Come

    Nyx's Pov Ryker’s face looked surprised to see me. His eyes scanned behind me quickly, like he expected someone to be with me, and then he pulled me inside without another word. “How are you here, Nyx?” he asked quietly, closing the door. I looked at him, uneasy. “I… I needed to clear my head. Is something wrong? Where’s your family? Where’s your wife and your daughter?” He guided me to the small couch in his living room. The house looked the same, but quieter. He sat down across from me, his hands trembling slightly. “They’re safe, Nyx,” he said after a long pause. “I’m just surprised to see you.” I frowned. His voice was steady, but his body wasn’t. I saw the way his fingers wouldn’t stay still, the way his shoulders stiffened like he was holding something back. “You’re lying,” I whispered. Ryker froze. I leaned forward, my heart pounding. “What aren’t you telling me? Something’s wrong, isn’t it?” For a moment, he said nothing. Then he sighed and rubbed his face with both

    Nyx's Pov Leaving Caspian was the hardest thing I had ever done. And to be honest, I didn’t want to. Every part of me wanted to stay. To run back to him, to tell him that I didn’t need words, that I would settle for his silence if it meant I could keep him. But another part of me knew better. If I stayed, I’d keep second guessing everything. I’d keep wondering if his silence meant he didn’t love me. I’d keep breaking myself against walls that might never come down. So I told myself the truth. I had to leave. That night, long after the lamps had burned low, I rolled my small suitcase out of my room. The sound of the wheels on the floorboards was too loud, too final. My chest hurt with every step. The guards in the hall looked at me, their eyes wide, but none of them moved. They only bowed their heads slightly, stepping aside as if they had been told not to interfere. When I reached the bottom of the stairs, I paused in front of Caspian’s home office. The door was closed, but I

  • The Perfect Revenge Of The Luna Queen    Chapter 58

    Nyx's Pov I had been waiting for him. All day, I had sat in my room, the silence pressing down on me. His voice at my door earlier had lingered, each word echoing in my head. He had said I meant a lot to him. He had said everything he did, he did because he cared. I wanted to believe him. Gods, I wanted to. But the ache inside me was too deep. My thoughts were too tangled. He didn't say the one thing I needed to hear. When I asked him that question, all I wanted was for him to tell me that he would love me. That he did love me. He had been silent and I had felt like a fool. So I had made a decision. I needed space. Not because I wanted to run, and not because I didn’t care. I cared too much. That was the problem. The feelings I had for Caspian were overwhelming. And I couldn’t tell if what he felt for me was anywhere near the same. I couldn’t stay in this house another day without clarity. I couldn’t stand in front of him, love in my chest and hope in my eyes, only to kee
