LOGINChapter 153: Homecoming Damon's POV The journey to my old pack took three days, and with each mile, I felt the weight of the past pressing heavily on my shoulders. Milo sat beside me in the car, his hand intertwined with mine, that purple glow still faintly visible under his skin. The bond between us hummed with contentment, but something else lurked beneath it like a discord in an otherwise perfect melody.I couldn't mask it, even if I wanted to."You are nervous," Milo observed as we approached the border."I haven't been back since the curse," I admitted. "They think I am dead.""They're about to get the surprise of their lives then."“What if the damage that was done is unrepairable” “Then we will fix it together, like always” Milo assured, giving a cute smile that almost made me forget about my current predicaments,Almost.The border guards nearly shot us on sight. I couldn't blame them because seeing someone you had mourned standing at your gates would shake anyone. But then
Chapter 152: the coupMillen povI descended the spiral staircase to my innermost chamber, where my true allies waited. It was a secret underground room that was carved from solid mountain rock, lit by blue flames that never burnt dry. Twenty alphas sat around the obsidian table, and more than half wore the ceremonial robes of Council Elders."Your Majesty," Elder Blackwood rose as I entered, and the others followed suit in deep respect. The deference in his voice was new, born from fear rather than respect. Good."Sit," I commanded, taking my place at the head of the table. "Report.""The unrighteous packs have formed an alliance," Elder Chen said, though he wasn't related to the Pacific Pack alpha of the same name. "Led by the mafia king, Damon""As expected." I had counted on Damon's need to protect driving him to unite the outcasts. It made them easier to destroy all at once. So predictable. "Our forces are ready," General Reeves said. He was one of the few Council military leade
Chapter 151: winter is comingMillen povHis mate he thought had died in the attack that destroyed their pack, who he had mourned in the dark hours, when he thought I was asleep.And she was very much alive.Something twisted in my chest, anger, envy… I couldn't name it.I had found him five years ago during a border raid. I had embarked on with my father, while my twin brother played the perfect maid at home. half-dead in a frozen gulch where he had ended up in, after escaping the attack on his pack. For some reason I couldn't kill him. Maybe it was the force of revenge and hatred burning in his eyes that made me hesitate. I had seen something different, raw power waiting to be unleashed, experience that could not be taught, the kind of deadly grace that only came from surviving impossible odds.I had healed him myself, pouring my ice magic into his wounds, knitting bone and flesh back together through sheer force of will. For three days he had hovered between life and death while I
Chapter 150: Dangerous TruthsMillen's POVWe lay tangled in silk sheets, my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat slow to normal. His fingers traced lazy patterns on my bare shoulder and for a few precious moments I let myself forget about prophecies and power and the war I was wedging against the world.The silver threading through his dark hair caught the firelight, and I found myself studying the lines at the corners of his eyes, marks of experience that comes with partaking in lots of battles, and years lived before he became mine. Aldric was not young like the warriors in my army. He was something better, Seasoned and Dangerous. A weapon honed to perfection by time and hardship."Tell me about Selene," he said quietly.I stiffened. "Why?""Because she is part of your plan and I need to understand all the pieces." His hand did not stop its gentle movement. "You never speak of her except in strategy meetings."I shifted, propping myself up to look at him. His face was ope
The Ice Queen's CommandMillen's POVMy mood was sour after my parents visited. I stumbled towards the only place I knew I would get out all the pent up frustration and anger in my system.The training yard stretched before me like a frozen battlefield. Steam rose from the bodies of fifty warriors, their breath visible in the bitter morning air. They stood in perfect formation, waiting for my command, and I could smell their fear mixing with the scent of sweat and snow."Again!" My voice cracked across the courtyard like a whip.The beta in the front line hesitated for half a second and that was his mistake. I moved faster than thought, my hand closing around his throat before he could blink. Ice spread from my fingers, crawling up his neck like frost on glass."When I say it again, I mean immediately." I released him and he dropped to his knees, gasping. "Your hesitation in battle means death. Your death means weakness in my army. And weakness is not tolerated."I walked down their f
Chapter 148Millen's POV - The Queen's eraThe northern winds carried whispers of my brother's awakening across the frozen peaks. I smiled as the door closed behind the messenger that had come to deliver the good news to me.I traced patterns on the frosted window of my tower. The view was magnificent and satisfying, slaves of war working day and night for a drop of water, helping in building my kingdom. Everything was falling into place, just as I had orchestrated months ago. The purple light that had blazed across the mountains three nights ago told me all I needed to know without the messenger coming in. Milo had finally become what I always knew he could be.My reflection in the window showed a woman who looked nothing like the omega brother I had sent south.Yes, everything was all my handwork, convincing my parents, playing sick on the day I was to be sent to the mafia king. Everything was going so smoothly, I couldn't help but chuckle happily. I could almost smell the power wi
