ログインMilo pov"Nooooooooo” The words tore through my throat before I could stop it.I couldn't breathe well"No, it can't be..."But it was.Standing there in the torchlight, his face expressionless, his eyes cold, was someone I would trust. Someone we all trusted.Aldrich.The revelation of Aldrich's betrayal hung in the air like smoke, This couldn't be happening. The masked figure who had saved me… twice… who had killed those doctors, who had given me the vial, who had whispered warnings and led me through the fortress...It had all been a lie.Every moment of hope, every flicker of belief that someone was fighting for me, had been nothing but manipulation. A puppet show orchestrated by my sister while I danced on strings I hadn't even known were there.What a fool I had been."Surprised, little brother?" Millen's voice cut through my spiraling thoughts. She was looking at me now, her expression almost fond. Like we were children again and she'd just pulled off a particularly clever pr
Damon's POVI woke to the smell of ancient stone and coppery taste in the air.My head pounded like someone had used it as a drum. Every muscle ached like I was being burned alive. I felt the coldness of the silver chains made of wolfbane wrapped around my wrists, burning where they touched bare skin. I was on my knees, the cold stone floor pressing against my shins.I forced my eyes open. For a moment, my vision swarmed, I could feel whatever sedative they must have given me when I was out pumping in my system, making it hard to focus.Slowly and painfully, my surroundings started to clear.I was in a temple.No, that word didn't do it justice. This was something ancient, something that can only be traced back to 3 to 4 centuries old… I sucked in a deep breath,The ritual temple!The name tasted like burning ash in my mouth. Maybe a millennia old, but it was once the council's headquarters, the righteous faction wolves that control the whole werewolf kingdom, but apparently it has n
Chapter 201: song of betrayalDamon povThe door opened with a groan of protesting hinges. I didn't know what I was expecting, but it was certainly not what I saw.Inside, shelves lined the walls, stacked with medical equipment and supplies covered in dust. Blood smeared on one of the shelves. More on the floor near a pile of discarded bandages.But there was no Milo.I inhaled deeply, drawing his lingering scent in the air my lungs. Wolfsbane and fear and something else, hit me hard, i almost stumbled. For months this was the first I was this close to him. My heart increased in intensity."He was here," I said, my voice rough. "Minutes ago. Maybe less."I did not wait for a response. Did not give Aldrich time to spin another lie or Selene time to voice whatever concerns were building behind her careful expression. I moved, following the trail that disappeared through the corridor.The corridor blurred past me as I followed my instincts, followed the pull of the bond that was growing
Damon's POVAldrich moved with the confidence of someone who knew every stone in this cursed fortress. We followed him through corridors that seemed to twist back on themselves, down stairs that shouldn't exist according to any map I'd studied. The Silent Dancers flanked us in perfect formation, their weapons drawn, while Selene kept pace at my shoulder, her eyes never leaving Aldrich's back.Daphne stayed close to him. Too close. Her hand occasionally brushed his arm, as if reassuring herself he was real, that the mate she'd mourned for five years was truly alive. I understood the impulse… the bond was a powerful thing, demanding closeness, demanding touch… but it made my teeth grind. We couldn't afford sentiment right now. Not when every second brought the Queen closer to realizing she'd been played."The lower supply network was built during the old wars," Aldrich explained quietly as we descended another flight of stairs, these ones carved from rough stone rather than the polished
Milo POVI moved.Not because I had a plan. Not because I knew where I was going or what I would do when I got there... But because staying in that bloody room… surrounded by corpses, and the traumatic experience of almost having my baby ripped out of me, made it never an option.The strong smell of copper filled the air. The emergency lighting cast everything in shades of red and shadow. But I gritted my teeth, and pushed forward, even as my legs trembled, my body screaming in protest. The wolfsbane was still in my system, making everything sluggish and wrong. My muscles felt like they were filled with lead, my thoughts fuzzy at the edges.But I had felt it.For one brilliant, milli-seconds, an impossible moment happened. I had felt the mate bond flare to life. Damon. Somewhere in this fortress, close enough that even through the wolfsbane's suppression, the connection had sparked like lightning in the dark, before it went off.He was here. He had come for me.I just had to survive
Chapter 198: trusting the enemyDamon pov"I know where Milo is." Aldrich said, the words bursting out even before I finished. "Good." I stepped back, every muscle still coiled for violence, ready to strike at the first sign of betrayal. "Then you have a minute to prove you are on our side. Starting now."Aldrich pushed himself up slowly, one hand pressed to his ribs where I had landed a solid hit. For someone enhanced by the Queen's twisted science, he was moving carefully, deliberately. Either I'd done more damage than I thought, or he was being cautious not to provoke another attack.Smart man.Daphne gave me a grateful look, before moving toward him immediately, before we could stop her. Her healer's instincts overriding whatever caution she should have maintained. Her hands reached for the cut on his throat, the blood still trickling down to stain his collar."Don't," Aldrich said quietly, catching her wrist before she could touch him. "Not yet."She froze, her eyes searching h
Nobody movesDamon pov"ALPHA!"Somebody shouted, but I couldn't place who it was. I was disoriented for a second. I had taken the full brunt blow of the fire wolf paws, that felt like a speeding trailer jammed me.His claws missed my vital organs by maybe an inch.“Alpha, are you okay?” Suddenly,

The Curse within Damon’s POV The forest trees tore past me in lightning streaks of black and silver.My feet dug deep into the wet ground, pushing my body forward with a speed no alpha could catch up to, but despite my blinding speed, it still felt like I was crawling.An angry growl that tore th
