Chapter 60 The Night the Wolves ArrivedLong after the figures turned to smoke, the warning echoed in my mind.“If you don’t claim your power… someone will.”It haunted me. Refused to let go, clung to me like a second skin.But I didn’t have time to think about it.Because the real nightmare was just getting started.The First SignWe made our way back to the fortress just ahead of dawn.The air felt… off.Too still. Too quiet.As if the whole world was on pause.Selene noticed it first. Beside me, the woman tensed, her predator green eyes going laser focused on the treeline. “Something’s wrong.”Ethan frowned. “I don’t hear anything.”“That’s exactly the problem.” Her voice was tight. “There are no birds. No insects. Nothing.”My stomach twisted.The woods were never silent. Not unless there was something to hunt.A chilling tingle shot up my spine.We weren’t alone.Elias spoke next, his signature smirk missing. “We need to move.”Rhea's violet eyes narrowed as she reached for her d

Chapter 62: A Pack DividedThe morning came too soon.Sleep had been amist and impermanent, catching sand in my hands. My body was tired, but my mind was racing. I could feel the weight of Kade’s words, hear the golden-eyed figure’s whispers every time I closed my eyes, see the flames of my old home burning behind me.I wasn’t safe.Not here.Not anywhere.But I had nowhere else to go.Kade had saved me. He had taken me in.Now he was leading me to his pack.I was not sure if that was a blessing or a death sentence.The ArrivalKade’s pack was unlike any I’d ever seen.It was well into the mountains, tucked away in a large valley that rose to steep cliff faces. The land was broad with cabins and farms, but there in the center loomed a fortress — tall, ancient, hewn into the rock itself.A true stronghold.A pack built for war.Kade rode ahead of me as we entered through the gates, his silver eyes darting over the settlement. Wolves eyed us from afar, some shuffling from their human sh

Chapter 64: An Uneasy PeaceThe meeting concluded, though the energy in the room did not.The council had no further quibbling, but its silence said a great deal. They weren’t convinced. They weren’t satisfied.They were watching.Waiting.For me to slip up. For me to prove them right.And I never doubted that when it came down to it, they wouldn’t give a second’s thought to turning on me.Elias walked beside me, his signature smirk still intact as we left the meeting hall. But I knew him too well now not to see the keen watchfulness behind it.“They didn’t say it,” he muttered, “but they still don’t trust you.”I exhaled. “I know.”He tilted his head. “And that doesn’t concern you?”I shrugged. “I don’t need their trust. I just need them to be scared of losing to me.”Elias let out a low whistle. “Now that’s the spirit.”We walked outside and the cool mountain air hit me like a breath of clarity. Kade was waiting, already, a few paces from the fortress wall, his silver eyes fixed on

Chapter 66: On the Road to the UnknownThe fire was low, crackling quietly in the still night. The weight of exhaustion lay against my bones, but sleep just wouldn’t. Not when my brain wouldn’t shut up.Not when I saw my children’s faces every time I closed my eyes.Elias had settled easily into the rhythm, gazing into the flames with a dazed sort of concentration, but I could tell he wasn’t entirely at ease either. He was waiting. Watching. Not for threats — though those would surely come — but for me.He was there waiting for me to crack.I wouldn’t want to give him the satisfaction.Instead, I curled in tight at the knees and looked into the darkness past the firelight. The forest surrounding us was silent, but it was a deceptive kind of silence. The kind that listened.That waited.“We should leave at first light,” Elias murmured, breaking the stalemate of silence.I exhaled. “Agreed.”“Unless, of course, you’ve suddenly decided to head back.”I shot him a sharp look. “You know th

Chapter 68: Tethered by Destiny, Severed by DesireKade’s utterance lingered between us, dense with unvoiced weight. Come back with me. Three little words, and yet they pierced like a knife to the ribs. My pulse thundered in my ears as I fought to suppress the heat in my chest, ignore the primitive fire burning all the more brightly in his silver gaze. I had run from one betrayal to another for years, had spent my entire life knowing how to survive without depending on anyone. Now fate was brazen enough to gift me a second mate? And not just anyone—Kade. An Alpha. A man I couldn’t afford to let into my life.I clenched my fists. “You do not get to demand this of me.”Kade’s jaw ticked. “No right? Jessica, you disappeared. No warning. No explanation. You gift me with a pack council on my heels defending you as you marched straight into rogue territory armed with a fucking dagger and nothing else but your stubbornness.”“I didn’t ask you to defend me,” I hissed, my voice slicing the air
