Chapter 371: Out of my Nightmares Part 1

Aurora’s P.O.VI woke up with a start, my breath ragged, my heart pounding as I bolted upright. The world spun for a moment, the edges of my vision blurry, but something felt off—something had shifted.Was that…all just a nightmare? Had I fallen asleep and dreamt of that…being again? However…nothing seemed as simple anymore.The room was silent except for the soft, rhythmic breathing of those around me, the faint rustling of clothes as people shifted. I quickly glanced over at Caleb and Caroline, expecting to see them awake, ready for action like always. But no. They were still sound asleep, their faces relaxed, unaware of whatever was happening.Confusion twisted inside of me. Why weren’t they awake? I thought wolves had better endurance to alcohol…Why was I the only one who had stirred? The dim light from the moon filtered through the cracked curtains, casting shadows that seemed to move and breathe, but something didn’t sit right.My muscles screamed in protest as I tried to stand,

Chapter 372: Out of my Nightmares Part 2

Aurora’s P.O.VI had thought, at first, that the skeletal form was running away from me. My heart raced as I tried to chase it, though the dizziness from the alcohol still clung to my senses, making every step a challenge. The figure moved with unnatural speed, the sharp angles of its bones slicing through the night air. But as I followed, my instincts screamed at me. No, it wasn’t running from me—it was running toward something. I wasn’t the one being hunted. It was meant to lead me somewhere.The form came out of the packhouse, gliding like it was weightless, its bony limbs outstretched. It didn’t move like a person at all. It wasn’t running; it was floating. And despite how wrong everything felt—despite how sick I felt, how my vision swayed—I couldn’t stop following it. There was something magnetic about it. It called to me, luring me, and I had no choice but to heed the summons.“Wait!” I shouted, my voice trembling, but the shadow didn’t respond. Instead, it gave a low, eerie lau

Chapter 373: All Over Again Part 1

Aurora’s P.O.VI woke up with a gasp that ripped through my throat like I’d been drowning in my sleep. My heart was slamming against my ribcage, every beat loud and frantic, like a warning bell. My lungs struggled to catch up, desperate for air, but the more I breathed, the more the terror sunk its claws into my chest. Sweat clung to my skin, cold and sticky, as I shot upright on the couch. The dim lighting of the room only amplified the shadows dancing on the walls, mocking me, whispering lies—or were they truths?I blinked hard, trying to steady myself, the nightmare still clinging to the edges of my mind like cobwebs I couldn’t shake off. Everyone was asleep. I could hear the soft, even breathing of the others—so peaceful, so unaware. My eyes darted around the room, my pulse still racing.Caleb was sleeping while leaning his back against the couch; Caroline was on another couch, with Mia practically dangling off the armrest. Shane had left earlier and he was still missing, while Ja

Chapter 374: All Over Again Part 2

Aurora’s P.O.VThe corridors passed in a blur, the polished stone and dark wood becoming a tunnel guiding me toward the courtyard. I pushed the doors open and was hit by the crisp midnight air—cool and fresh, laced with the scent of pine and damp earth. It cleared my head, but only a little. My legs moved faster than my thoughts, carrying me across the courtyard, past the training grounds and toward the tree line that separated the central compound from the condos and other pack houses.Of course they had to be on the opposite side of the woods. Of course.I didn’t hesitate, even as the shadows stretched long and the woods loomed quiet and watchful around me. My bare feet barely made a sound on the leaf-strewn path as I broke into a brisk walk, hugging my arms around myself for warmth and comfort. The wind whistled softly between the trees, and every so often a twig snapped or a bird took flight overhead, but nothing alarming. Still, my heart wouldn’t settle. Not until I saw them.“I

Chapter 375: Avery? Part 1

Aurora’s P.O.VThe thing towered over them, skeletal limbs, back arched, mouth stretched unnaturally wide to reveal jagged, dripping teeth. My heart felt like it was being squeezed in someone’s fist. I screamed their names—I don’t even remember whose name I screamed first, but it seemed like they couldn’t hear me at all—so I ran.I ran with everything in me, my feet crunching over dry leaves and brittle twigs, not caring if the sound alerted that shadowy…beast. I had to get to them. I had to protect them. I didn’t care what it was, or how impossible it looked—I had to stop it.But then—I felt it. A force. Like a hammer slamming into my back.My body was airborne for half a second before the earth greeted me cruelly. My knees buckled under me, my hands shot out instinctively to break the fall, but all they met were sharp, unforgiving rocks. I skidded—my skin tore. The searing pain shot up my arms, but that wasn’t even the worst of it. My head hit next. Hard.The impact rang through my

Chapter 376: Avery? Part 2

Aurora’s P.O.VCenturies of work? What on earth was happening? What was Avery even talking about?“I—” I started, my throat tightening. “I didn’t know what you’re tal—”“LIES!” she roared, and the sound reverberated through the trees, making the ground tremble beneath me. “You knew. You knew, and you still chose them over us. You betrayed everything I stood for. Everything we were!”Before I could say another word, she was suddenly right in front of me—too fast—and then—Her foot collided with my stomach so hard that the air punched out of my lungs. I gasped, folding in on myself as the pain exploded through me like wildfire. I hit the ground, gravel scraping at my skin, and instinctively tried to curl up, to shield myself.But she didn’t stop.Another kick. Then another. Fists rained down on me, hard, sharp, cruel. It was far stronger that Avery could’ve ever been. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. All I could do was feel—the thudding pain, the wetness of blood on my tongue, the

Chapter 377: Finally Awake Part 1

Aurora’s P.O.VI groaned as a sharp, stabbing pain throbbed through my shoulder and shot down to my ribs. My head felt heavy, like it had been filled with cement, and even breath sent a dull ache through my entire body. I blinked slowly, the light from the open windows a bit too harsh, and as my vision cleared, and a sudden realization hit me.The night was over…Whatever nightmare that I had been stuck in…it was over…or…was it?Frantically, I looked around the room, hoping to find any semblance of a familiar face. And it didn’t take long.That’s when I found Caleb sitting at the edge of the bed. His brows were drawn together tightly, his jaw clenched like he was fighting off the urge to scream—or cry. His fingers were white-knuckled around the edge of the blanket."Caleb?" My voice was scratchy, like I hadn’t used it in days. I tried to push myself up, but the second I moved, a bolt of pain shot down my back, and I gasped, flinching. "What… What happened to me?"His head snapped up t

Chapter 378: Finally Awake Part 2

Aurora’s P.O.VI felt sick. "God, Caleb! I keep telling you but you’re not listening!" My chest rose and fell faster, each inhale making my ribs scream. "I didn’t fall, damnit! I swear to you. I don’t know what’s going on, but something about last night… it wasn’t right."He hesitated for a long moment, then finally moved closer, brushing hair away from my face with a tenderness that nearly undid me. "Okay," he said finally, softly. "Okay. If you’re sure… we’ll figure it out. I believe you."I wasn’t sure what was worse—the ache in my body, or the terror that something even worse than Lucas and Harmona’s terror might be going on."Please," I whispered, tears burning at the corners of my eyes, "Don’t leave me alone tonight.""You think I could?" he said, voice thick with emotion, and then he tucked himself beside me, his arms wrapping gently around my trembling body. "I’m not going anywhere, Aurora. I swear."But even in his arms, I couldn’t shake the feeling that whatever had happened

Chapter 379: The Rescuer

Aurora’s P.O.VThey didn’t look back as Ashton gently pulled the door open for them. Maggie’s arm was around Avery, whose eyes were still swollen from crying. The soft shuffle of their footsteps echoed in the room like thunder in a cathedral—too loud for a moment that should’ve been hushed. No one said anything as the trio walked out, leaving behind the heavy silence and Caleb and Caroline.My eyes met Caroline’s after the door clicked shut, and her expression was carved in something that looked like guilt, but it wasn’t heavy enough. She stood near the foot of the bed, arms wrapped tightly around herself as if trying to make herself smaller, less visible.“Where was I found?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, but it shattered through the room like glass breaking.Caleb, who’d been sitting on the edge of the bed, slowly came closer to me once again. His eyes met mine, filled with something I couldn’t name—shame, maybe, or disbelief that he had let me get hurt. But it wasn’t th

Chapter 380: Losing their Powers? Part 1

Aurora’s P.O.VThe sudden silence in the room made me pause as I glanced up at Caleb and Caroline, and I could feel my chest tighten with worry. I needed answers. Shane hadn’t been around much lately, especially since he’s actively trying to avoid Mia, but that wasn’t unusual. He was often busy with pack matters, out on missions or patrols. Still, something about the way Caroline and Caleb were avoiding my gaze had me on edge.Why did they keep on calling him via a phone when they could’ve just used the mind link long ago?"What's going on?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, yet carrying an urgency I couldn’t mask. "Where’s Shane? Why haven’t I heard from him? Caleb, why can’t you get hold of him using the mind link?" My heart was already racing as I said the words, the fear in my stomach growing with every passing second.Did something happen to Shane after he rescued me? Did Ashton or that…shadow…somehow retaliate against him?Caroline was the first to speak, her eyes soft b
