บททั้งหมดของ FORSAKEN BY FATE : EMBRACE BY WOLVES: บทที่ 111 - บทที่ 120

RONAN’S POVThe council chamber was thick with the scent of burning sage and aged wood, the golden rays of sunshine shining through the now open windows. The Moonblood elders still sat there in a semicircle around me, their gazes sharp with years of wisdom and battle—or should I say years of stupidity and ignorance instead. These were the wolves who had survived the fall of our pack, the ones who had fought tooth and claw to keep our people from vanishing into nothing. But still, they acted like pups—ignorant pups. We’ve been through this one discussion for more than two hours and it felt like the more we talked about it the more stupid they became. This was an opportunity from the Moon Goddess—an opportunity to recover all that we’ve lost to Kade’s wrath and cruelty, still they hesitated despite my efforts to make them see things my way for the past two hours. Can someone please explain to me why we were still on the same matter of finding Liana and grooming her to enter into the

ELIANA’S POVThe scent of vanilla and fresh roses filled the room, mingling with the soft hum of laughter from downstairs. My fingers trembled slightly as I traced the embroidered edges of my dress, the silk light against my skin. It felt surreal—all of this felt surreal. Reed had asked me to go get dressed for my mini-birthday celebration—with the help of my mum I looked beautiful, it wasn’t too much preparation but with what I had I looked flawless, and that’s according to Reed’s compliment.For the first time in my life, I was celebrating my birthday. For the first time in my life, I wanted to celebrate it. I had never imagined this moment—never dared to dream of something so simple, so normal. A birthday cake. Laughter. People who genuinely cared for me gathered in one place, not out of duty, not out of obligation, but because they wanted to be here.Because they loved me. A lump formed in my throat, thick with emotions I wasn’t ready to process. A knock on the door pulled me

REED’S POVWe returned downstairs to find everyone quiet, lost in thoughts, their emotions clawing its way to the surface. They were thinking of what tomorrow would be like for them. I know that, all day I’d watched them try to mask their feelings, all day they’d tried to smile and laugh despite knowing that in a moment all of those laughters will go boom!! Like a bomb.I wish I could promise them that we will all get through this together, but… there was no way I could bring myself to lying. I wasn’t even sure if I was going to make it out myself, I was still left with a choice to make—a choice to choose who to save. Damn!! It truly sucks to be me at this point. I could feel the air inside the house becoming thick by the minute—too thick. It pressed against my skin like a warning, seeping into my bones, setting every nerve on edge. We all felt it, that shift in the atmosphere, the kind that came before a storm. No one spoke, but we were all thinking the same thing. It’s time.

RONAN’S POVThe air in Redwood Valley was thick with pine and damp earth, but all I could taste was anticipation. The sun was still high, casting long shadows against the estate’s perimeter. For hours until dusk. That was all the time we needed. Varyn crouched beside me, his sharp gaze locked onto the sprawling estate ahead. “Shifts are about to change,” he murmured. “Now’s the moment.”I gave a single nod. “Move.”With a flicker of dark energy, my body vanished into the ether. The world folded around me, my form dissolving into shadow before reforming at the ridge we had marked on the map. The other materialized beside me, silent as ghosts. Team One fanned out along the treeline, their movements synchronized, each warrior knowing their role without the need for words. The estate was too quiet. No guards. No patrols. No scent of defense. A trap? Varyn narrowed his eyes. “This isn’t right.” I agreed. The Bennett brothers weren’t careless. They were meticulous, always anticipating

ELIANA’S POVThe pack loomed high above the clearing, men and women running here and there. The sky was painted in hues of violet and burnt gold, a deceptive beauty for the chaos that would soon unfold.I stood alone, my arms wrapped around myself, watching the warriors move like shifting shadows. The pack was preparing, each person falling into position, finding their place in the battle that would soon come. Callum and Asher moved with precision, their voices low but firm as they checked weapons, adjusted armor. Malcolm stood at the edge of the gathering, his eyes distant, already lost in the war that had not yet begun. And I?I had no place.My feet were rooted to the earth, my breath steady, but my mind was anything but calm. What am I supposed to do? The question curled in my chest, a sharp, unforgiving thing. Could I step into the light? Could I become what I was meant to be? I closed my eyes, reaching inward, searching for the presence I had been waiting to hear. “Astralis?”
