Ridwan’s POV

Sleep never came.

I lay in my tent with the darkness pressing in on me, the weight of my brother’s words still echoing. You hate that I touched her first.

He wasn’t wrong. But it wasn’t the whole truth either.

It wasn’t about touching her first. It was about what I felt when I touched her at all. The way her wrist fit in my hand like it belonged there. The way her pulse jumped beneath my thumb, fast, uneven, betraying the calm mask she wore.

The way my wolf had gone silent for one

  • The Twins Who Claimed Me   Chapter ninety two

    Chapter: The Day the Mountain Came SouthElma’s POVThe summer arrived quietly.No grand announcement.No storm breaking over the hills.Just warmth settling into the land one morning and refusing to leave.The orchard was heavy with fruit. Branches bowed beneath olives and figs. Bees drifted lazily between wildflowers. The grove hummed with life.I should have been happy.Instead, I was restless.I noticed it first in the mornings.I would wake before dawn and sit on the porch with a cup of tea, staring at the road.Not waiting.At least that’s what I told myself.Just looking.Just thinking.Just remembering.The lie became harder to believe with each passing day.Because every time a rider appeared on the distant path, my heart betrayed me.And every time it wasn’t him, I felt foolish.I was old enough to know better.Old enough to understand that people built lives elsewhere.Old enough to know that love—whatever shape it took—didn’t always mean proximity.Yet some stubborn part o

    Elma’s POVThe first thing I noticed that spring was how the orchard did not ask permission to survive.It simply did.The trees that had once stood bare and skeletal were now filled with stubborn green, their branches thickening again as if the world had decided—after everything that it was still worth continuing.I stood at the edge of the grove with my hands buried in soil that smelled alive again.Not healed.Not whole.Just… alive.Behind me, the cottage creaked softly as Harlan moved inside. He had grown quieter over the months. Not sad, exactly. More like someone learning how to live inside a memory without letting it consume him.The girl no, not a girl anymore , had left for the northern settlements three weeks ago. She said she wanted to “see what the world looks like when it isn’t filtered through books.”I told her she would come back changed.She smiled and said that was the point.Everyone was leaving.Everyone was becoming something else.Except me.Or so I thought.The

    Chapter: The First Winter Without HerKaelen’s POVThe wind in the Western Crags did not whisper—it judged.It came down the jagged slopes like a living thing, cold and sharp, cutting through wool and skin alike, testing bone and breath. Kaelen felt it the moment he crossed the High Pass, when the last scent of olive groves faded and the air turned thin with stone and memory.He did not look back.Not because he didn’t want to—but because Elma had taught him something simple and unyielding: A man who walks forward carries more than a man who lingers behind.Still, he felt it.The weight of the bundle in his pack.The iron key against his ribs.And something else—something softer, harder to name.The memory of a woman who had remade the world with quiet hands.---### The Council of HornsThe Western Crags rose like broken teeth against the sky, their peaks crowned with ice that never melted.

    Elmas povThe transition from autumn to winter in the south was a subtle thing, marked not by the arrival of snow, but by the sharpening of the wind and the deepening of the shadows in the grove.Kaelen had changed. The boy who had arrived with a stolen coin and a heavy heart had become a man of quiet, deliberate action. He spent his mornings with Harlan, learning the language of the stone and the timber, and his afternoons with me, learning the language of the long-game. He was no longer just a pupil; he was a bridge.But a bridge is only as strong as the banks it connects, and the Western Crags were calling for their son.The Departure"The letter came this morning," Kaelen said, standing by the hearth. He held a piece of parchment sealed with a wax stamp I hadn't seen in years—the twisted ram’s horn of the Western Elders. "My father is failing. They want me to return to the Crags. Not as an Alpha, but as a Counselor."I looked up from the bowl of olives I was sorting. The oil made

    The years had taught me that peace wasn’t a destination; it was a maintenance project. Like the irrigation lines or the stone walls that bounded our grove, it required constant tending, or the wild would find its way back in.Kaelen had been with us for three months. He was a quick study, his hands losing their soft, aristocratic pallor and taking on the rough, stained texture of the earth. He didn't ask about the brothers often. He watched. He watched how Harlan and I spoke without raising our voices. He watched how we shared the harvest with the neighboring farms, not because a law demanded it, but because a hungry neighbor was a threat to everyone's stability.But the mountain had a long memory, and it seemed it wasn't done sending messengers.The Shadow in the GroveIt happened on a Tuesday, when the air was so still you could hear the buzz of a cicada from three fields away.I was thinning the peach trees, the sweet, fuzzy skin of the fruit cool against my palms, when the dogs st

    ElmaThe ascent was a slow, rhythmic torture.The High Pass was less of a road and more of a jagged scar across the face of the mountains. To our left, the rock rose in a sheer, unforgiving wall of granite; to our right, the world simply ended in a vertical drop that swallowed the mist of the valle

    ElmaThe stream didn’t roar like it had during the storm; it hissed, a silver ribbon cutting through the jagged throat of the valley. The sound should have been meditative, but to me, it sounded like a warning.I watched Ridwan for a moment before he noticed me. He was skipping stones—a gesture so

    Elma’s POVMorning came slow.The storm had passed, but its echo lingered … in the dripping of the trees, the heavy scent of wet earth, the faint chill that clung to my skin long after I’d dried off.I hadn’t slept.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw him … Roshan, standing in the rain, shoulders so

    Roshan’s POVThe night was heavy.Too still. Too quiet.Even the forest seemed to hold its breath as I returned to camp, every step pounding with a rhythm I didn’t want to name. Her scent was still on the air … faint but undeniable … a soft mix of rain, metal, and something wild that set my blood
