CHAPTER 41

Chapter 41: No More MercyThe dust still clung to the air, a choking reminder of the havoc we had just barely escaped. The Origin Chamber was gone, crushed below thousands of tons of stone, but the war was not over. At most, we’d just signed our own death warrants.The boy we’d just rescued clung to my side, shaking, his small body quaking, and his golden eyes wide with fright and confusion.“Jessica,” Ethan said, his voice taut but steady. “We need to move. Now.”I looked around at my team — bloodied, exhausted but alive. The enormity of what we had just done weighed on me. We had dealt a heavy blow, but one in doing so had also told the Order that we weren’t simply fleeing anymore. We were fighting back.Elias dusted off his coat, as if not fazed at all. “We’ll call that better than expected,” he said.Ethan whirled on him faster than Elias had even time to move, driving him hard against what was left of a stone pillar.“You watched and didn’t do shit,” Ethan barked, squeezing Elias

CHAPTER 42

Chapter 42: Into the InfernoWind shrieked through the night as we rode grim and hard for the eastern fortress, and the gravity of the coming thing felt like an iron hand kneading my chest. The Order had stripped away so many parts of me. My home. My future. My peace.But they had never taken my kids away from me. And they never would.I gripped the reins, pushing my horse faster. Ethan rode next to me, jaw set with rage, eyes dark with intent.“You’re too quiet,” he said, his voice and the wind competing for sound.I sighed, still looking out over the horizon. "I’m focused."“You’re afraid,” he said, correcting him. “And I know you won’t say it, but I need you to say it.”I tilted my head, my voice crisp. "Why?"“Because if you own something, it can’t own you,” he said. "Fear makes people reckless. It makes them desperate."I clenched my jaw. "I don’t have time for fear."Ethan shook his head. “That’s not how it works, Jess. Whether you want to or not you have time for it. “And the o

CHAPTER 43

CHAPTER 43. A Reckoning in BloodThe room was too small, for the rage churning within me.Bryan simply stood in the doorway, his golden eyes amused as he took in my state, relaxed as though this was just another game. But I wasn’t here to play.My children whimpered behind me, reaching fruitlessly at my ripped clothes with their small hands. They had no idea what was happening, didn’t realize that the man for whom they had spent their brief lives in chains was standing before them.I intercept between them and Bryan, as my hand squeezes the hilt of my blade.“You shouldn’t be here, Jessica,” he said, smooth, quiet, casual. “I’m going to have to kill you now.”I bared my teeth. “You say that as if you ever had a choice.”Bryan sighed, and shook his head. “You never did know when to walk away, did you? Always fighting battles you never could win. That’s what I loved about you.”I snarled. “You don’t know what love is.”His smirk faded. "You had different thoughts back then.”"I used to

CHAPTER 44

Chapter 44: The War We Can’t Escape Smoke still clung to my clothes as I clutched my children, my heart racing as the fortress continued to burn. The night air reeked of ash and blood, the sounds of drones in the mid ringing throughout my head. We had succeeded in this fight—but Bryan had eluded capture. Which meant this was just the beginning. Ethan’s hand cramped on my shoulder, his stare scanning through the trees searching for a response. To our right, Selene and Dorian held their ground, swords in hand, their expressions permanently set. “We have to leave,” Rhea said, the anxiety evident in her voice. She was correct. And the next time, it wouldn’t be with cannon drones. It would be with my kids. I stared down at their chubby cheeks, their lovely eyes, which resembled my son’s, which resembled his. They didn’t notice what was happening. They didn’t find out what was going to happen next. I had attempted to avoid it. But it hasn’t been my time yet. We departed into the night, t

CHAPTER 45

Chapter 45: The Road to RuinThe Shadowfang fortress was quiet before the dawn, the air heavy with the impending doom. Warriors flowed through the hallways like ghosts, sharpening weapons, preparing armor, muttering to one other in low voices.We were marching to war.And I wasn’t going to return empty-handed this time.Bryan was outside, lurking in the wreckage of the Knox Pack, scraping whatever remnant of loyalty he could. He was dangerous, desperate. And desperation had made men reckless.I was standing in the war room, looking down at the map in front of me. The lines of old territories, faded. The broken pieces of my former home.Instead, I had walked away from the Knox Pack, an unwanted mate, humiliated and discarded.Now I was back as the woman who would kill their final Alpha.The sound of Ethan’s voice pulled me from my stupor. “Are you sure about this?”As my fingertips rested on the map, I turned to him. “We don’t have a choice.”He came closer, his eyes searching mine. “T

CHAPTER 46

Chapter 46: Bloodlines and BetrayalFissures pocked through the busted wreckage as the golden-eyed figure approached, the ground vibrating underfoot. And the air around him seemed alive with an unnatural energy, something old and something wrong.Bryan stood next to him, eyeing me with that same annoying smirk, like he’d already won.“You shouldn’t have touched this, Jessica,” he said, shaking his head. “You had your escape. You had your children. But you just had to come back, didn’t you?”My pulse thundered in my ears as I tightened my fists. “Do you think I would spare you after what you did?”Bryan laughed softly. “Still so dramatic.”Ethan stepped in next to me with his weapon drawn, his whole body vibrating with tension. “You’re stalling.”The golden-eyed figure chuckled, the sound smooth, even amused. “I like him,” he mused. “But he’s wrong. We’re not stalling.”His golden eyes flickered over to me, and suddenly, my breath caught in my throat — because I felt something.A tug i

CHAPTER 47

Chapter 47 The Monster InsideThe battlefield was quiet.Too quiet.Bryan was gone, along with the golden-eyed figure. But what he said still rang in my ears."You and I… we are the same."I gripped my fists, the pulse of my heart a violent drum in my ears.No.He was wrong.I wasn’t like him.I couldn’t be like him.Ethan groaned next to me, his hand at the back of his neck, the spot where the golden-eyed figure had touched him. His breath ragged, he appeared shaken.I knelt down next to him, brushing my fingers over his arm. “Ethan?”His jaw clenched. “I’m fine.”Liar.He was gasping as if he’d run a marathon, his hands fluttering like something remained in him.“Did he.. . do something to you?” “What,” I asked, low voice just above a whisper.Ethan hesitated.Then, slowly, he nodded.“I don’t know if it was,” he confessed. “It wasn’t like a spell. It was unlike anything I’ve experienced before. It was—”His breath hitched.“Like something watching me.”A shiver slithered down my sp

CHAPTER 48

Chapter 48: The Line We Cannot CrossInside the war room, tension hung heavy in the air. Nobody said anything, but I could feel their eyes — looking at me, waiting, waiting for answers I didn’t have.Not yet.My pulse roared in my ears, and I clenched my fists at my sides. The figure with eyes of gold — the first — wanted my children. And if Elias was right, if the Order had left him because he was too powerful, too volatile…Then we were fighting something worse than the Order itself.Something that was beyond reason.Unstoppable something.Unless I found a way.It was Ethan who first broke the silence. “We need a plan.” He spoke evenly, though I noticed his hands trembling slightly by his sides. He was angry. Afraid.I didn’t blame him.Dorian exhaled sharply. “A plan for what? We have no idea even what we’re working with. If he’s really the first hybrid, the first experiment, that would mean he’s older than any of us. They’re more powerful than anything we encountered before.”Sele

CHAPTER 49

Chapter 49: The Point of No ReturnWhen the golden-eyed figure took a step forward, everything appeared to freeze.The night air was thick, wrapping my skin like a second suffocating layer of weight. The warriors shifted around me, their hands tightening on their weapons. I heard the faint shuffling of boots on stone, the quiet, measured breathing of the ones waiting for the inevitable.But no one moved.Not yet.Not until I did.I met his gaze, not flinching. “You have been waiting for this, haven’t you?”The golden-eyed figure smiled, slow and lazy, “Of course.”His voice was liquid, well modulated, and that was enough to set my wolf to snarling beneath my skin.He was too calm.Too sure.So he believed he had already won.I stepped slowly forward, my pulse calm though a storm roiled within. “You were you stopped me running. Here I am.”He inclined his head. “Indeed. But there’s one thing I can’t help but wonder — don’t you know why that meant so much to me?”I clenched my fists. “B

CHAPTER 28

Chapter 28: The Gamble at MidnightThe journey to Midnight Claws' territory was brutal. The air grew colder as the dense forests of the Black Hollow were replaced by torn cliffs and valleys shrouded in mist. Each step came with an added heaviness as the inevitable loomed beyond me, bearing down like a torrential rain. The Ironfangs had bowed to fight beside us, but it wouldn’t be enough. We needed more.Selene was in the lead, gliding through the shadows like water. Dorian fell in step beside her, ever the strategist, his keen silver eyes raking the horizon. The Midnight Claws were infamous for that, for their secrecy, their shifting alliances. If they were already in league with the Order, we were walking into a death trap.That thought sent a shiver of fear down my spine, but I brushed it away. We didn’t have a choice.“Stay close,” Selene said softly. “We’re being watched.”My wolf stirred under my skin and I tensed, but forced myself to remain calm. This was their home court, thei
