Chapter 51 Aurora POV My heart hammered at her words. Choice? It didn’t feel like a choice—it felt like a nightmare. Bella crouched a little so we were eye level, her tone patient. “I’m not asking you to fully transform. Just… a spark. Call your wolf, let her surface for a moment. Even your eyes changing, or your claws—it’ll be enough to start.” I shook my head quickly. “What if I lose control again? What if I hurt someone?” “You won’t.” Her voice was steady, confident. “I’m here. And besides, the wolf isn’t just rage and pain. She’s you. You have to stop treating her like some monster trapped inside.” I swallowed, staring at my trembling hands. “And if I can’t?” Bella smiled gently. “Then we keep trying until you can.” Reluctantly, I closed my eyes. I tried to focus on the strange heat that had once burned through me when I first changed. At first, there was nothing—just my fear whispering that I couldn’t. But then… a low thrum started in my chest, like a drumbeat that wasn’t

Chapter 53 Aurora’s POV Bella’s eyes lit up, her lips curving into a soft smile. “You’re a fast learner, Aurora.” Before I could even respond, Lucious slipped an arm around Bella’s waist, pulling her close with his easy grin. “Of course she is. I mean, she is my brother’s mate. Can’t be a total weakling, right?” I rolled my eyes at him, but deep down, a small flicker of pride warmed in my chest. Fast learner. Me. “I want to try again,” I said, squaring my shoulders. That heat inside me hadn’t died down—it was still burning, restless, begging to be unleashed. Cassidy looked hesitant. “Aurora, maybe you should—” But I didn’t let her finish. I closed my eyes, reached deep, and tried to summon that fire again. And this time, I pushed harder. Too hard. The heat surged like a storm, ripping through me in wild waves. My heart hammered, my breath came ragged, and I dropped to my knees with a strangled cry. My nails dug into the dirt as my body trembled, the energy clawing its way out

Chapter 55 Liam’s POV “So why are you here now?” I asked before I could stop myself. The question came out harsher than I’d meant—years of silence pressed into it. “Why now? Why couldn’t you come sooner?” She lowered her eyes, fingers absently twisting the small garland at her throat. When she looked up, there was no performative guilt—just tiredness and a strange, steady warmth. “When I was banished,” she said quietly, “a few packs took me in. They told me to lie low, to wait, to find a way back that wouldn’t endanger you and Lucious. I wanted you both to live your lives properly—without me creeping back like some ghost.” She paused, gathering herself. “I’ve been planning. I wanted a way to come back and stay. When you’re ready—you are old enough to be the Alpha now—you’ll be able to lift the sentence.” I tightened my hands into fists at her words. The thought of her plotting anything felt absurd and impossible, so I let it pass. Her next words were softer, almost childlike.

Chapter 57 Lucious POV I couldn’t believe it. She’s back. After all these years. As I stormed into my chambers, Bella followed close behind, her voice calm but her eyes worried. “She was banished,” she said firmly, staring straight into my eyes. “No, you don’t get it!” My voice cracked with fury. “That doesn’t matter! The same way she came back checking up on Liam—she should have done that years ago! She was banished, yes, but she never even thought to look back at her kids. Why now, Bella? Why not then?” “She probably had her reasons, Lucious,” Bella said softly. “No… no!” I shouted, the pain ripping through my chest. “A mother doesn’t just leave her kids and forget them in the name of banishment! No! No!” My voice echoed in the walls, broken and raw. Bella caught me, pulling me close before I could unravel further. “You need to rest, babe. You need to calm down. She’s back now. She’s back.” “No… I missed her. When I was young, they mocked me. They still whisper abo

Chapter 59 Aurora POV I left the training ground, Cassidy’s words echoing in my head—you can explore the whole castle if you want. For a moment, I thought about resting. Then my thoughts wandered to the omega territory. Cassidy had once said she sometimes checked on them, but I knew it wasn’t always safe. Too many unfamiliar faces, too many people who might be harsh. Still, curiosity tugged at me. And then I remembered Oliver. Oliver was different. Oliver was kind. It’s better to pay him a visit, I thought. Climbing onto the horse was a struggle, but the guards helped me up. Once I got the reins in hand, I surprised myself—I remembered the way Cassidy had ridden last time and managed to guide the horse on my own. A little wobbly, but I made it. By the time I reached the omega territory, I felt oddly proud of myself. Dismounting wasn’t graceful—I nearly slipped—but I landed with both feet on the ground. The air here was different, quieter, but the people… they weren’t what I expe
