Chapter 181 Selene stood still among the falling debris from the building. Her grandmother’s words still made her heart thud. You were my greatest experiment. The old woman smiled faintly, that same soft smile she had once used to lull a grieving child to sleep. “Still so stubborn. I thought you might understand by now, Selene. You are the evolution our kind needed. The bridge between what was and what must come.” Selene’s voice was low, “You created monsters. You are not one of our kind.” Her grandmother chuckled. “And yet… you are one of mine.” Then she lifted her hand. The air trembled, rippling like water disturbed by unseen power. Selene’s wolf snarled inside her. “Lena, take Lydia and go. Now!” Lena obeyed, pulling Lydia toward the forest as Caius staggered behind Kael and Jared, his body still weak but his eyes locked on Selene. “Selene!” Caius croaked. “Don’t—” A surge of invisible energy exploded between them, throwing him backward. Selene gritted her teeth as lig

Chapter 183 Selene returned to her neighborhood, where she grew with grandma. A large town away from the city. It looked nothing like Selene remembered. The town buzzed with life, vendors shouting, carriages rolling through narrow streets, children chasing one another barefoot across the cobblestones. Selene stood at the edge of it all, her hood drawn low, Lydia’s hand tucked in hers. Her heart beat faster with every step. This was where it started, her childhood, her grandmother’s house. Caius walked beside her, he was walking better now but his body still aching from the fight. Kael and Lena followed close, staring at the crowd. Romano trailed behind them, his coat collar turned up and a cigarette hanging from his mouth. They moved through the town carefully, the people here didn’t know wolves walked among them. Lydia’s eyes darted from stall to stall. “Mummy, can we stop for a bun?” Selene forced a smile. “Later.” Lydia frowned but said nothing. She clung tighter to h

Chapter 185 The docks smelled of salt, men hauled crates from boats, shouting orders over the sound of gulls. Selene kept her hood low, her eyes scanning the crowd. Caius walked beside her. Kael followed a few paces behind. They had left Lydia with Lena, at a safe place where Selene believed her grandma won't find them, in a church. It was safer that way than bringing Lydia along. Romano led the way, cigarette in his mouth. “Letter said the shipment comes through here. If we’re lucky, your grandmother’s pen pal still likes punctuality.” Selene didn’t answer. They stopped near an old warehouse with broken windows and a faded sign that read: R. & Sons Shipping Co. Kael smirked. “Subtle.” Romano flicked ash off his cigarette. “Most evil things are.” Selene stepped forward first. The metal door creaked when she pushed it open. Inside, rows of wooden crates filled the space. Caius sniffed the air. “Blood.” Selene nodded. “Not fresh.” They moved deeper inside and began to he

Chapter 187 Morning light crept through the broken walls of the building, painting everything in a pale gold haze. The floor was littered with shattered wood and glass. Selene sat on the front steps, her body still, eyes locked on the distant line of the forest where Lydia had disappeared. The breeze lifted her hair, brushing strands across her blood-streaked face. She didn’t move to fix it. Her hands were raw from clawing through debris all night, as if she could still find her daughter buried somewhere beneath it all. Caius stood a few feet away, watching her. His arm was bandaged, the wound from the ambush still fresh. He’d tried talking to her since dawn, but nothing seemed to reach her. Kael was the first to break the silence. He kicked a fallen beam aside and muttered, “They were humans mercenaries. How did they know where to find us? Someone must've sold us out.” Romano, sitting against a broken pew, let out a low groan. His shirt was torn and bloody from a graze across h

Selene and her crew managed to escape from the shooters. They walked for a long distance without rest, and finally got to the Glass yard Kellan had mentioned. On the ridge above the Glass Yard, the world felt colder than it should. Selene crouched behind a low bank of shale, her fingers flexed against the leather strap. She knows Lydia is in there somewhere inside that compound, and the thought pushed a steady thrum of panic into her chest. Caius moved beside her, “We go in from the east,” he said. “There’s a service gate that won’t be watched as heavily.” They had scout the area has soon as they arrived while keeping Kellan's warning in mind. Kael scanned the yard through his scope. “There are guards on the eastern walkway, but one blind spot under the conveyor. You slip in there, you get one man breathing down your neck and then you’re inside.” Romano leaned back against a boulder, “Kellan sold us the route. His map should still be good.” Selene’s jaw tightened. “Good enou
