LOGINDamon's POVMilo's body went limp in my arms, his head lolling against my chest. But I could still feel the contractions wracking through him, could see his face contorting with pain even in unconsciousness. His body was tearing itself apart, and there was nothing I could do to stop it."Milo," I whispered, my voice breaking. "Milo, please. Stay with me."Millen's laugh echoed through the temple, cold and triumphant. She stood at the entrance with her soldiers fanning out behind her, blocking our only escape route. The fear that had filled her eyes moments ago was gone, replaced by vindictive fury."Did you really think I would just leave?" she asked, stalking toward us with predatory grace. She stopped ten feet away, her eyes fixed on Milo's trembling form. "That power spike…it burned through him too fast. His body can't handle it. The baby can't handle it." Her smile widened. "He's dying, and there's nothing you can do about it."Rage exploded through me, so hot and violent it burne
Chapter 208 Milo pov I could now see the true extent of his injuries.His broken body lay at the base of the altar. Still and cold and lifeless. The bond was still severed and empty. Pain lanced through my chest, sharp and terrible even through the power flooding my system. "He died for nothing," Millen said, following my gaze. Some of her confidence was returning now that the initial shock had worn off. "Your mate threw away his life, let that curse consume him, and for what? You might have power now, omega, but you're still weak. Still soft." She began circling me, her movements predatory once more. "Power means nothing without the will to use it." The thought took root inside me. Together with the realization that my mate might actually be dead. I squashed that thought immediately, forcing away the tears that wanted to fall. “Can we revive him?” i asked desperately, but lior only gave a grunt and that was it. "You're thinking about him," Millen said, noticing where my divide
Milo pov Time seemed to stop for me. My shaking hands held the vial Aldrich had thrown to me. Millen's face contorted with a rage so pure and terrible that she barely looked human anymore. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" Her scream shook the very foundations of the temple. She lunged for Aldrich, her enhanced speed making her a blur. But Aldrich was ready. He met her charge with his blade raised, he managed to deflect her strike in a shower of sparks. And within the space of 5 seconds, they exchanged over a hundred blows, , a deadly dance of betrayal and fury. "What I should have done from the start!" Aldrich shouted back, his voice strained with effort as he parried another of her strikes. "Chosen the right side!" "You DARE betray me?!" Millen's fist caught him in the ribs, sending him flying backward into a pillar. Stone cracked. "After everything I've given you?! Everything I've done for you?!" "Given me?" Aldrich coughed, blood on his lips, but he pushed himself upright. "You've us
Milo's POVThe silence that followed was the kind that existed at the end of worlds.I couldn't look away from him. Couldn't process what I was seeing. His chest… that broad, strong chest that had risen and fallen with life mere seconds ago…. lay perfectly still. His eyes, those golden eyes that had held mine with such desperate love during his transformation, now stared at nothing with the terrible emptiness of death."No," I whispered. The word felt hollow, and meaningless. "No, no, no, noooooooo.."My voice rose with each repetition until I was screaming it, the sound raw and broken and utterly helpless. I pulled against my chains with strength I didn't know I possessed, feeling bones grind and skin tear, but the ancient metal held fast."DAMON!" His name tore from my throat. "DAMON, PLEASE! PLEASE WAKE UP!"But the dead don't wake. They don't move. They don't breathe.Millen stood over his body, chest heaving, blood dripping from her countless wounds that were already beginning to

Then his body began to convulse, his back arching as something inside him broke free.The sound was horrific, and it sent shiver down my spine.Bones cracking, rearranging and forming back only to breaking again. His scream morphed into something inhuman, a howl that made the very stones of the temple tremble. His skin rippled like water, muscles bulging and distorting beneath it."What…" Millen stepped back, her sword lowering slightly, genuine surprise crossing her face for the first time since the fight began.Damon's transformation was nothing like a normal werewolf shift.

And in them, I saw everything he couldn't say, Determination, fierceness, Resignation. "But I don't have a choice, do I?""There's always a choice," I said desperately."Not this time," he said softly, facing millen."Oh, this is perfect. Young love, noble sacrifice, dramatic last words. It's like a tragic play. I couldn't have scripted it better myself." She laughed, obviously delighted that her plans are working.She moved to the center of the temple, taking a fighting stance."Come on, then, Alpha," she taunted. " Show me why you thought you could challenge a queen.
