last update Fecha de publicación: 2025-04-13 23:30:42

Father kept talking about the coronation of the silver pack, petering about it , saying I must go.I had no choice. My beta Levi came in, he was my childhood friend, his father was the formal beta of our pack , he decided to take over and I also took over from my father as the Alpha of Lockwood pack.

“Aren't you going to the coronation”Levi said , “am about going, he knew I was not interested in going.I needed to represent my pack.Levi’s mate Amaya, came in,they were great couples, she is pregnant with Levi's pup, I haven't found my mate, l hope she's safe wherever she is,.

“It's time to go Gale”..., we set out , I heard the New Alpha is known for his pride and ego , I never had a liking for him.

I stood at the edge of the grand hall, nursing a glass of wine, as I observed the coronation festivities,as a visiting dignitary from a neighbouring pack.

The new Alpha , resplendent in his formal attire,stood at the center of the hall, basking in congratulations of his pack members .I watched with a mixture of curiosity and detachment ,my mind wondering about my own pack’s affairs.

Little did I know , a surprise awaited me, a gift bestowed upon me by the new Alpha, one that would change my life forever.

The coronation festivities had long ended and I'd returned to my usual routine.As a member and Alpha of the Lockwood pack, I was tasked with overseeing our pack's trade with neighbouring packs.

My days were filled with meetings, negotiations and other occasional patrols of our pack border. It was a demanding but rewarding job,one that allowed me to serve my pack and protect its interest.

As I walked through the park's central square,I exchanged greetings with my fellow pack members. They were a familiar sight and I felt a sense of comfort and belonging to them.

But despite the familiarity, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing. A sense of restlessness has been growing inside me , one that I couldn't explain.

Unknowingly, my life was about to take a dramatic turn , that would upend everything I knew.

As I entered the chambers, I saw the new Alpha standing by the side of the window with a small smile on his face,”Gale, thank you for coming, I have a special gift for you , one which would bring great joy”.

He gestured for a figure standing in the shadows , as the figure moved forward, my heart skipped a bit, I felt it; the unmistakable spark of the mate bond , my wolf was all hopping, happy that he had finally found his mate.

My heart racing , I struggled to maintain a neutral expression, I couldn't let the Alpha suspect that I'd recognize her as my mate.Not yet.

I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself .”Ah,thank you, Alpha,” my voice steady. “I'm… honored by your gift “.

The Alpha smiled, seemingly pleased to himself.The young woman was so delicate, she had green piercing eyes, which was filled with a hint of fear,of uncertainty but she looked away.

I felt a pang of guilt , knowing I was pretending not to recognize her as my mate , but I had to be cautious. The Alpha's motives were unclear, and I needed time to figure out what was going on.

As I stood there pretending to be nonchalant, my mind was racing. The mate bond was intense, overwhelming and utterly exhilarating.I felt like I was punched in the gut, my emotions swirling in a chaotic storm.

I couldn't believe it, my mate was standing right in the front of me but I had to pretend like I didn't recognize her,It was a big torture.

My eyes locked into hers, drinking the sight of her, she was beautiful with piercing green eyes and long brown curly hair. Her delicate and slender figure made her look like a proclene doll.

But it was more than that , I could sense her strength, resilience, determination , she was a survivor, warrior.

“ And she was mine”

I felt a growl growing in my throat, “Kane we need to calm down”, “mate,mate,” we need to protect mate.I calmed him down ,I took a deep breath, I needed to be smart, I had to be careful.

Thank you.. Alpha, I'll take care of her, “Moreover she's just an asset”, Kane groaned slightly, I calmed him, “ yes she is…”.

  • Twice Marked,Twice Loved    Chapter 79: The Place Before Cause

    The eye did not move.But its attention deepened.Until now it had searched through actions, through patterns, through outcomes and probabilities. Everything it had encountered in the world existed inside a chain: events leading to consequence, intention producing motion, systems interacting through traceable conditions.But the child had revealed something outside that chain.An action that had no measurable origin.No preceding condition.No traceable trigger.For the entity, that was not simply unusual.It was impossible.And impossibility did not exist within its framework.So the framework began to stretch.Autumn felt the change before she understood it.The air thickened again—not with pressure or gravity, but with scrutiny. Not of movement. Not of outcome.Of origin.The entity was no longer examining what they did.It was examining where doing came from.Gale felt it inside his mind first.Thoughts slowed—not forcibly, but as if they were being illuminated from beneath. Ever

  • Twice Marked,Twice Loved    Chapter 78: The Edge of the Unpredictable

    Prediction did not arrive as a force.It arrived as an absence of surprise.The world still moved.Choices were still made.Moments still unfolded.But something subtle had begun to vanish—The unknown between intention and outcome.Autumn felt it first in hesitation.She tried to act without thinking—to move instinctively, without structure, without pattern.But the moment she initiated the motion—She felt it was already resolved.Not completed.But known.A quiet certainty settled over the action before it fully formed.And when she finished the movement—It matched.Exactly.Her breath caught.“It already knew.”Gale tested it immediately.He layered intention—false starts, conflicting impulses, incomplete decisions designed to fracture predictability.But the result—Aligned anyway.Not perfectly.But close enough that the difference didn’t matter.Levi pushed harder.He abandoned logic entirely, moving on impulse, randomness, even contradiction.Still—The outcomes converged.N

  • Twice Marked,Twice Loved    Chapter 77: The First Experiment

    Curiosity did not arrive gently.It did not observe quietly, like the observer.It did not refine cautiously, like the presence.It did not remain distant, like the greater awareness.It acted.Not immediately.But inevitably.The eye did not blink.It did not need to.Its attention alone was movement.And where that attention settled—Reality responded.Autumn felt it first in the air.Not pressure.Not resistance.But a shift in context.As if the space around her had been subtly redefined—not altered physically, but reinterpreted in a way that made everything feel slightly… unfamiliar.Gale noticed it in perception.Edges sharpened—not visually, but conceptually. Objects, actions, even thoughts began to feel more distinct, as if something was isolating them for closer inspection.Levi reacted instinctively.“Don’t move.”No one listened.Because movement wasn’t the problem.The problem was—being noticed while moving.The child stood still.Not out of fear.Out of recognition.“It

  • Twice Marked,Twice Loved    Chapter 76: The Space Left Unwatched

    When the fracture turned inward—The world did not break.It did something far more dangerous.It relaxed.The pressure that had been constant—subtle, invasive, ever-present—lifted all at once. Not gradually, not unevenly.Gone.No more evaluation pressing against every action.No more silent judgment threading through every choice.No more invisible hand selecting what remained.For the first time since its arrival—The entity was not watching.At least—Not them.Autumn felt it immediately.Her next step carried no resistance.No pause.No sense of being weighed.It was… hers.Completely.She inhaled sharply, the air feeling heavier, more real.“It stopped,” she said.Gale nodded, but his expression didn’t ease.“No,” he replied quietly. “It just stopped looking at us.”Levi scanned the horizon instinctively.“That’s worse.”Because something that had demonstrated perfect control over removal, correction, and definition—Was now focused elsewhere.On itself.Amaya closed her eyes,

  • Twice Marked,Twice Loved    Chapter 75: The Point Where Difference Ends

    The fracture no longer felt like a wound.It felt like a threshold becoming a mirror.What had once been a boundary between systems—between existence and reduction—was now something far more unstable:A place where two fundamentally different processes were beginning to resemble each other.The child was changing to avoid definition.The entity was changing to allow it.And in that convergence—The world began to lose something it had never consciously protected.Difference.Not immediately.Not completely.But enough to be felt.Autumn noticed it first in motion.Two wolves, moving separately, made different choices—one turning left, the other right.But the outcomes…I felt the same.Not identical.Not mirrored.But equivalent in a way that erased the significance of their divergence.Levi caught it next in conflict.Arguments still happened. Tension still formed. But the resolution—whether through effort or ease—arrived at nearly indistinguishable conclusions.Not forced.Not scri

  • Twice Marked,Twice Loved    Chapter 74: The Shape of an Error

    The fracture did not stabilize.It did not collapse either.It is distorted.Not outward into the world, not inward into itself—but sideways, into something that did not follow any known axis of reality. The clean, precise boundary it had maintained fractured into uneven layers, as if its own structure could no longer agree on how to exist.The concept of error did not pass.It lingered.And the entity—I struggled with it.For the first time since its arrival, its actions lost efficiency.Pulses came irregularly.Not weaker.Not slower.But… uncertain.Moments were still evaluated—but not always removed. Some passed untouched. Others flickered, half-erased, then reasserted themselves with slight inconsistencies.A decision would occur—Then partially vanish—Then return… altered.Not clean.Not seamless.The world began to glitch.Autumn staggered slightly as her own movement doubled—her hand lifting twice, one motion overlapping another, before settling into a single outcome.“What
