Chapter Eleven: The Rescue Pact

last update Last Updated: 2025-06-26 16:59:53

Silas’ POV

The scent of blood was old now.

His wrists were raw from fighting the chains, his vision blurred from the steady burn of wolfsbane. But his mind… his mind was still sharp.

Noah hadn’t returned since their last argument.

Which could only mean one thing.

Someone else was coming.

The kind of someone who wouldn’t hesitate.

The kind who didn't leave bruises.

Killers.

And Silas was the prize.

He closed his eyes.

Not to sleep but to focus.

He’d counted the steps. Timed the patrols. Mapped the room by scent and sound. If he could just break the left chain, he might

A voice broke through the silence.

“You look like hell.”

Silas’s eyes snapped open.

Ethan.

No… not a vision. Real. Bloody, wild-eyed, furious.

And beautiful.

Silas’s voice cracked. “You came.”

Ethan didn’t smile.

He sliced the chain with one clean swipe.

“I always will.”

Ethan’s POV

He hadn’t said a word on the way in.

Not to Arden. Not to the Whisperer’s contact who smuggled them past the outer traps. Not to the rogue who begged before Ethan silenced him forever.

But now, standing in front of Silas, watching him bleed and shake and still find the strength to smile, everything inside him broke.

“You shouldn’t be here,” Silas whispered.

Ethan’s voice was gravel. “You shouldn’t have left.”

Silas looked away. “I didn’t want you to find out this way.”

“About Marcus?” Ethan asked. “About you being Crescent?”

Silas froze.

Ethan stepped closer. “I’ve known for days.”

Silas’s eyes widened. “Then why”

“Because knowing who you are doesn’t change what I feel.”

Silas’s breath hitched. “It should.”

Ethan’s voice was low. Rough. Honest.

“It doesn’t.”

Marcus’ POV – 30 minutes earlier

He stood at the tree line, eyes locked on the rogue den through a set of enchanted binoculars.

Two Crescent scouts flanked him. The third, a smaller male with a cracked fang, pointed to the side entrance.

“He’s in there. But so are Red Moon wolves.”

Marcus went still.

“What?”

“I saw two slip in. Alpha Ethan. And his Beta.”

Marcus’s jaw clenched. “He came to save him?”

“Looks like it.”

Marcus stared for a long moment.

Then turned to his scout.

“Signal the extraction team.”

Back at the Den – Silas’ POV

He didn’t ask how Ethan had found him.

He didn’t need to.

The look in Ethan’s eyes said everything: You're mine. And will stop me now.

But as Ethan helped him up, a sound echoed from the hall.

Boots.

Too many.

Then a voice “Ethan? You’re not supposed to be here.”

Noah.

Ethan shoved Silas behind him, eyes flashing red.

Noah stepped forward with three rogues. All armed.

“You broke into rogue territory,” Noah said smoothly. “You just started a war.”

Ethan’s voice was steel. “Then let it start.”

Noah raised a hand to command his men

A blade sank into his side.

He gasped.

Turned.

One of his own rogues had stabbed him.

“Orders from higher up,” the rogue muttered. “Sorry, boss.”

Noah crumpled.

The room descended into chaos.

Ethan grabbed Silas and pulled him into the back exit just as Arden launched a smoke grenade across the corridor.

Outside – Silas’ POV

They didn’t stop running until the forest swallowed the smoke and screams.

They collapsed near a creek bed, both gasping.

“You saved me,” Silas whispered.

Ethan looked at him, chest rising with every breath.

“Not just because you’re mine.”

Silas blinked.

Ethan leaned in, slow, careful. “But because you saved me first. The night you walked into my pack and didn’t run.”

Silas swallowed hard. “And now?”

Ethan reached into his coat, pulled out a folded parchment marked in blood.

“A rogue treaty. Signed by Crescent. They’ll let you stay. No bounty. No war.”

Silas stared at him.

“Why would you do that?”

Ethan’s voice broke.

“Because I’m done asking you to choose between me and your home.

Now you can have both.

If you stay.”

And Silas looked at the man he was sent to destroy

And whispered, “Then I’m choosing you.”

He stood in the center of the moonstone circle barefoot, heart pounding, the silk of his ceremonial robes clinging to skin still marked by battles. He wasn't Alpha tonight. Just a man. In love. Silas stepped into the circle barefoot too. No armor. No mask. Just him beautiful in soft gray, a sash wrapped around his chest like an offering. Their eyes met. And nothing else mattered. Silas’s POV – Under the Moon He’d dreamed of this once. When he still believed in fated mates. Before prophecies. Before knives and chains. Now, standing here, looking at Ethan He didn’t need a myth to tell him what this was. He knew. Ethan held out a single black thread. Silas held a white one. They tied it around each other’s left wrists, binding bone to pulse. It wasn’t magic. It was a choice. Ritual Vow (spoken in mangy languag

    One Year LaterLocation The Borderlands SanctuaryThe world didn’t end.It just… softened.They built it slowly stone by stone, vow by vow.Not a kingdom. Not a throne.A home.Far from Crescent’s rigid towers.Far from Red Moon’s bloodstained soil.A sanctuary carved from peace.Silas knelt by the garden bed, fingers sunk in the warm earth. His bond mark was still there but it didn’t burn anymore.It pulsed like a heartbeat.Like a reminder.Ethan emerged from the cabin, shirt loose, hair wet from the spring, holding two mugs of wild mint tea.“You’re still planting lavender?” Ethan asked with a grin.Silas smirked. “She said it’s good for wounds.”“She also said I’d lose my left arm. And yet…” Ethan raised his arm, flexing playfully.Silas rolled his eyes and took the tea. “Miracles happen.”They sat on the porch together shoulder to shoulder, knee to knee. The forest beyond their land whispered with life.No guards.No politics.No fear.Just the wind.And them.Letter Fragment – S

The stone lit with runes that hadn’t glowed in centuries.Lucien stumbled back, shocked. “What have you done?”Silas breathed through the pain. “I ended it on my own terms.”Silas’s POV – Hollow Spine, After the EclipseThe altar was cold now.Quiet.The runes had faded, leaving behind only bloodstains and cracked stone.Silas stood beneath the breaking skywhere the moonlight no longer bled.Ethan was beside him, his hand steady on Silas’s back. Silent.Selene stepped forward.She looked like a ghost wrapped in silver fire. And yet, somehow, she felt more real than anything in this world.“I’m not here to rule,” she said softly.“I’m here to end the rot.”Lucien knelt before her, bound by vines that had risen from the stone itself.Still defiant.Still bitter.“Do it,” he spat. “Fini

    Silas POV – Hollow Spine AltarThe blade felt heavier now. He hadn’t noticed the weight until now.Lucien pressed it into his palm, his gaze colder than stone.“The Moon asked for blood,” he said. “Yours, mine or his.”Behind Lucien, a second figure stepped from the shadows.Ethan.Bound. Bleeding. Breathing… Barely. But he looked like he’d survived regardless.Silas staggered forward. “What did you do?”Lucien’s voice was even. “ yet. That’s the point.”He turned the blade flat. “You can end the prophecy here.All it needs is one marked soul.”Silas’s fingers trembled at the hilt.“You said I was the Moon’s choice.”Lucien smiled. “That’s what I wanted you to believe.”He turned to the altar and placed a second pendant beside Silas’s.Silver.Delicate.Feminine.“Selene Hati,” Lucien said softly. “Your sister.

Just the pendant hanging cold around his neck and the prophecy burning in his veins.The Crescent Elders flinched when they saw him.He no longer looked like the obedient second son.He looked like something risen from ash. They looked like they had seen a ghost.“Before anyone speaks,” Silas said, “I’m not here to beg.”Marcus stood at the high table, arms crossed. “Then why are you here?”Silas raised the pendant.“To stop a war before it eats us all.”Ethan’s POV – Red Moon HallHe stared at the same sky.But across a different border.He didn’t like being apart from Silas, but this had to be done his way.And deep down, Ethan knew something was about to snap.The Moon was too red.The air is still.And somewhere in that stillness… something ancient stirred.Marcus’s POV – Crescent Hall, Later That NightThey argued for hours.Elders cried betrayal.
