Chapter 91: Meaningless

A heavy silence fell over the room, as if even the air itself had frozen.Raven's sharp eyes fixed on her, unwavering yet patient, waiting for her response. But Lyra remained silent, neither admitting nor denying his words. Her gaze lowered, long lashes veiling the storm in her eyes.After a brief moment, she slowly stepped forward, placing the steaming bowl of medicine into Raven’s hand.He said nothing more and obediently drank it all.When he finished, Lyra spoke, her voice soft as a whisper, yet each word cut like a blade,“Whether that bond exists or not… does it even matter anymore?”Before Raven could reply, Lyra's voice interrupted him, calm, but layered with undeniable pressure,“I’m no longer a lone rogue… nor am I the lowly servant from your pack.”She lifted her head, her eyes meeting his directly, unwavering and resolute,“Raven, I am the Luna of Ivyshade.”Her words drifted through the air, light as a breeze, yet each syllable cr

Chapter 92: The Lost Civilization

Inside the private chamber, only Raven and a tall warrior remained. The man was Noah, the leader of the expedition to the eternal snow peaks of the Arvani Mountains.Noah bowed slightly before him, his eyes calm, his demeanor respectful as he presented a stack of aged parchment, its edges weathered and frayed, as though corroded by frost and time.“Alpha, during this expedition, aside from retrieving the Glacialis Herba, our forces also discovered the remnants of a long-lost civilization.” Noah paused, his hoarse voice tinged with solemnity. “It lies deep within the heart of the Arvani range, buried beneath the eternal ice.”A flash of curiosity sparked in Raven’s eyes, an interest for a world unknown to him.Noah continued, “We thoroughly searched the entire area. There were no signs of life. No bodies, no remains of any kind. But the architecture still stood, ancient ruins scattered across the ice. Though broken and worn, it was clear this had once been the territo

Chapter 93: The Last Night

Raven felt utterly captivated by Lyra's grey-blue eyes, like being pulled into a boundless, icy, and mesmerizing ocean, unable to break free. His heart pounded wildly, each beat so fierce it felt as though it might burst through his chest, his reason stretched to its limit.He didn't know what he should do, only that his instincts were leading the way.Unconsciously, the distance between them grew smaller and smaller, their breaths mingling, just a slight tilt forward and Raven could finally taste the lips he'd yearned for day and night.But Lyra didn’t step back like she always had before. She stood still, eyes shimmering with an indescribable mix of emotions, as though she, too, was waiting for something.The moment their lips touched, a jolt of electricity surged down Raven’s spine, and the entire world seemed to come to a halt.Brilliant fireworks exploded in his mind, sweeping away all the painful memories, the distance, the countless misunderstandings, the

Chapter 94: Departure

Raven woke with a jolt, his eyes opening to the dim, lingering darkness. Instinctively, he reached for the space beside him, only to touch the cold, empty sheets devoid of any warmth.The sun had yet to rise. Where could Lyra have gone at this hour?Raven sat there, dazed, his mind hazy and sluggish, until his eyes landed on the hourglass resting on the wooden shelf. Only then did he realize… he had slept straight through until the following night.This wasn’t normal at all.A wave of foreboding churned in his chest. Raven threw off the covers and hurriedly dressed, striding out of the room, his voice slicing through the quiet like a sharp blade,“Someone come!”The attendants waiting outside the guest quarters rushed over upon hearing his command, bowing their heads respectfully.Raven wasted no words. His eyes darkened, his voice cold enough to chill the air,“Where’s Lyra?”The attendant hesitated slightly, their expression flickering with unea

Chapter 95: Six Months Later

Six months later.The early morning in Moonshade Valley was as peaceful as ever.A thin layer of mist gently blanketed the distant mountain slopes. The sun had yet to rise fully, with only soft golden rays filtering through the leaves, casting a silky glow over rooftops and treetops. The air was crisp, the vegetation soaked in dew, and the faint fragrance of wildflowers drifted along the breeze, carrying the distinct scent of this land, shrouded in forests and eternal fog.Across the terraced fields winding along the hillsides, the people of Ivyshade bustled with the harvest. The sounds of chatter, scythes slicing through crops, and birdsong blended together, painting a lively, serene scene.Suddenly, from the stone path leading into the valley, a young warrior came rushing over, his voice echoing loudly as he delivered urgent news,“Alpha Raven of Blood Moon is here again!”The moment those words fell, the entire field fell eerily silent.The villagers,

Chapter 96: The End

This time, it was Lyra who took the initiative to walk toward Raven. Seeing that silly, stunned yet blissful smile on his face, she couldn’t help but let the corners of her lips curl into a gentle smile, a soft chuckle slipping out.She never expected Raven would return to this place once again, coming all the way to the misty valley just to find her.The moment she heard he was waiting at the border of their territory, waiting for Ivyshade’s people to lead him into the valley, the thin layer of ice that had wrapped around her heart for so many years finally melted.She didn’t want to run away anymore.She wanted to accept him, accept the fated mate destiny had arranged for her. Accept the father of the child growing inside her.Lyra gently placed a hand on her belly, her gaze as soft as an autumn lake, lips curling into a teasing smirk,“Aren’t you going to greet your little puppy?”Raven didn’t even let her finish the sentence before nodding fiercely, eyes lighting up like the stars
