Kiran didn’t look like himself anymore.His wolf was unrecognizable—twisted, corrupted by rage. Hollow eyes glowed with a feral emptiness. I shouted his name until my throat burned, but he didn’t hear me. He wasn’t there.He lunged forward, sinking his sharp fangs into my arm before I could fully dodge. I gritted my teeth as the pain exploded through me, hot and deep. My other hand reacted on instinct—I struck him hard, sending his massive body flying several meters back.I looked down. The wound throbbed, healing slowly.Too slowly.Age wasn’t on my side anymore. My body, though still powerful, didn’t recover like it used to.“Lena!” I yelled, turning to the woman who wore my mate’s face like a costume. She stood there, arms folded, lips curled in amusement as if watching a thrilling show.“Please, just stop this.”She tilted her head mockingly. “You want me to stop? Why?”“I don’t want to hurt him. If it’s me you want dead, then do it yourself. Don’t use him.”She laughed softly. “N

Emily’s POVWith the little magic I had left, I conjured a portal, and Sabine and I stepped through it.We arrived at Kieran’s pack, and the sight before me nearly shattered my heart.The ruins were in complete devastation. Buildings had crumbled, and some were still smoldering from flames long extinguished. Warriors turned on each other in confusion and rage. The sky loomed above us, black as ink, like a dark, eerie quilt smothering all hope.The moment my feet touched the once vibrant green grass, a sensation stirred inside me ,my body. I was beginning to feel it again. A powerful connection, pulling me forward. My instincts took control, guiding me toward the heart of the chaos.As I neared the crowd, a sharp, searing pain clawed at my chest. I cried out an involuntary scream tearing from my throat, echoing through the air and drawing every gaze. And in front of me, the woman,me screamed too. Lena. The earth trembled beneath us. My body responded as if it recognized its rightful ow

Maybe it was exhaustion from the day, or the strange comfort I found in their presence, but I had fallen asleep in Kiran’s arms which, admittedly, was a little awkward. By the time the sunlight kissed the horizon, I was already wide awake, nestled between my two mates.As I slowly blinked open my eyes, the first thing that hit me was their intoxicating scent. My mind was still hazy, but vivid flashes from the heated moment we’d shared in the cave days ago returned with startling clarity. My breath hitched. A soft vibration coursed through me, and warmth pooled low in my belly.“Emily, you pervert... What are you doing?” Kiran’s groggy voice rumbled beside me. “You know I can still smell your arousal, right?”I flushed instantly, trying to shift away from them only to accidentally brush against Lucien’s hard length. He let out a low, barely-there moan.Last night, I had managed to escape this but how much longer could I keep running from what we all wanted? The truth was, I didn’t want

“Wow, you look wonderful, Emily. When those two boys see you, they’ll be drooling for sure I swear!” Amelia giggled as I twirled in front of the mirror, admiring the reflection staring back at me.I gently traced my fingers over the now-sealed bite marks on my neck. An overwhelming sense of peace and contentment washed over me. I was finally theirs and they were mine.“Remind me to figure out how to shut you up next time,” I muttered playfully to Amelia. But before I could finish my rant, my stomach growled loudly. That was my cue to head downstairs and feed my innocent, demanding stomach. It wasn’t fair to punish it for things it had no part in.I stepped out of the room, and everywhere I walked, maids and guards bowed in respect. A group of young ladies where they came from, I had no idea suddenly began scattering rose petals along my path.Was all this really necessary? This whole royal treatment felt too formal. One day, I’d probably run from it all. Just as I reached the stairs,

"Who is this Darius, and why does the mere mention of his name make everyone freeze?" I asked, my voice cutting through the thick silence. From the way Tharros had spoken, I could already sense it this wasn’t just some ancient enemy. This was someone whose very name bled power and dread.What kind of being could cause such fear? Was he truly that powerful?“Child, there are still many things you don’t know,” Aunt Laura said, her voice laced with panic. “Now that Darius is returning, we need to leave this place. He’s a force no one can face not even you. You're still weak. You haven’t even learned to master your powers or retrieved the Book. How are we supposed to fight him?”“Laura, enough with your anxiety,” Aunt May snapped. “This isn’t the time to panic or scare Emily. She’s only just beginning to understand her destiny. And even if we do run, now that those forces know she exists, they’ll hunt us down regardless.”The room fell into an uneasy silence, thick with tension. I glanced
