CHAPTER 11: A Place to Belong

Zoey’s POV He turns to look at me before leaving the room, and I instantly avert my gaze. I can’t bear to meet his eyes after that outburst. “You were fine,” Mia says gently in my head. “You okay?” Raven asks, motioning for me to take my clothes off. I keep my head bowed, not wanting her to see how red my face is. The last time this happened, I didn’t even know it was happening. “I’m sorry about him,” Raven says, running her tests. “One thing my cousin hasn’t lost after all these years is his temper.” My ears perk up. “Your cousin?” I ask softly, hating how small my voice sounds. “Yeah,” she answers, distracted by what she calls my miraculous healing. I glance down at my stomach—once black and purple with old bruises, now pale, smooth… soft. How is this even possible? “Who’s your cousin?” I ask, pulling myself from spiraling thoughts. “Kieran,” she replies, scribbling notes. “Alpha Kieran, I mean. Did I not mention that?” I shake my head as she gestures toward my clothes.

CHAPTER 12 — The War Within

Kieran’s POV I slam the front door, not caring that it's 1 a.m. The house is dark except for a faint glow in the kitchen. Lucien stands at the sink, his back to me, water running. “A bit late for a snack, don’t you think?” I mutter, heading to the fridge for water. He doesn’t turn. “Well, someone had to take care of your mate.” I roll my eyes. “Very funny.” When he finally faces me, there’s no trace of amusement. “Does she know?” he asks. I shrug and head upstairs, hoping that’s the end of it. But I hear the lights flick off and his footsteps trailing behind me. “What’s your plan here, Kieran?” he presses. “Can you not?” I say, walking into my office. He follows and shuts the door. “I’m serious.” I sigh and sit, staring at him. “Fine. Here’s the plan.” He leans in. “We go to war and destroy Cassian.” I lean back, satisfied with my answer. He groans. “Is that supposed to be a joke?” “No. Or do you plan to lose?” “Of course not,” he snaps. “But that’s not

Chapter 13 — Baptism by Fire

Zoey’s POV “Zachhhh!” A young voice cries out, piercing through the roar of flames. Buildings reduced to rubble. Screams echo through the smoke-thick air. Burnt corpses lie scattered across scorched ground. Everything is ablaze. And at the center of it all stands a little girl, her cheeks stained with soot and tears. “It’s time, Zoey,” a mystical voice whispers through the inferno. “It’s time to awake.” I bolt upright in bed, gasping. The panic is always the same—searing and suffocating. Not from reality, like Lily’s irritating wake-up calls, but from what’s coming. Always at 6:37 a.m. Like clockwork. I slip out for my usual walk through the forest before sunrise. The fresh air helps... a little. I return to assist the kitchen staff with breakfast. Afterward, Lucien usually appears—our unspoken routine unfolding: hospital duties with Raven, quiet laughs, a semblance of peace. Then he disappears for training, and Raven and I are left to our own rhythm until dinner. Occasio

CHAPTER 14: The Spark Between Us

Kieran’s POV“She needs you,” Ragnar howls in my head, the mate bond pulling at my core with a force I can’t ignore.I scan the lawn, her earlier nervousness about training flashing through my mind. A crowd has formed near the combat field. My steps quicken.Then I see it—her.Zoey is on the ground, her white-streaked hair stark against the dirt. Her arms are raised in defense as blows rain down on her. My body freezes, even as Ragnar claws to get out, to end this nightmare. Fury rises like a tide when I see who's attacking her—that omega-blooded mate of a disgraced Alpha.Come on, Zoey. Fight back, I silently plead, hoping that buried power inside her will ignite.But it’s Raven and Lucien who rush in, pulling her up and shielding her. At least someone’s protecting her.“At least they’re doing something,” Ragnar growls, frustrated. “More than we are.”She stumbles away, and then she turns—eyes meeting mine.No rage. No shame.Just quiet defeat.I can’t stand it. I turn and storm into

Chapter 15 — The Pull Between Us

Zoey’s POV“I honestly can’t explain it,” Raven mutters, moving around me with her scanner, her fingers pressing gently along my arms and ribs.“It’s faster than most wolf healing,” Lucien adds, his brow furrowed. “But that doesn’t mean you should be putting yourself in danger.”I let out a dry chuckle. From the lawn to the hospital, all my bruises vanished like they were never there.“Maybe we should injure her just to study this power of hers,” Raven jokes, though I can see curiosity burning in her eyes. “Still, I think you should take the day off. Just to be safe.”“Do you think Alpha Kieran is... upset?” I ask, voice barely above a whisper.Mine to use or destroy.His words echo in my mind, and suddenly I don’t feel very useful at all.“If he is, he’ll get over it,” Lucien scoffs.“Easy for you to say. He’s your brother,” I mutter, sliding off the bed.“He will,” Raven adds as we walk toward her office. “Besides, that war’s the only thing that occupies his mind these days. But rea

CHAPTER 16 - The Storm Within

Kieran’s POVWhen I come to, my hands are still on her shoulders. Her eyes glow, hair wild in the air like it’s caught in a storm.Pure chaos. And yet—she’s breathtaking.For the first time, I don’t feel like I’m witnessing it… I feel like I’m a part of it.The gym is wrecked. The punching bag’s been ripped from the ceiling, dumbbells are scattered everywhere.Panic starts to rise in my chest—I don’t know how to help her. And worse, I can’t seem to.“Lucien!” I bark through the mind link.No response—just the howling wind echoing off the walls.I try again.“Raven?”A pause. Then a sleepy voice: “Kieran?”“I need you. Now. Underground gym.”“What the hell’s going on?” Lucien chimes in suddenly.“Zoey.” It’s all I can manage.A few minutes later, the door crashes open. Lucien and Raven enter, shielding their faces from the wind, gripping nearby equipment to steady themselves.“Kieran?!

Chapter 17: Echoes and Awakenings

Zoey’s POV When the black fog lifts, I don’t know where I am. A small crowd gathers in an open space. I walk closer, drawn to the center where a small boy stands beside a bald man whose lips move without sound. The air shimmers with stillness. When the man finishes speaking, everyone bows. His eyes glow a violent red. Alpha Kieran. “That’s your mate,” a soft voice says beside me. A woman bathed in radiant light smiles serenely. “He needs you. You need him.” Her light becomes blinding—and then everything disappears. Suddenly, air rushes into my lungs. I gasp awake. A room full of people surrounds me, staring, expectant. I should be used to this by now. I scan the room and spot Alpha Kieran, Raven, and the man from my recurring dreams—older now, with deep lines etched by time. But what startles me most is the way they’re all looking at me. Wide-eyed. In awe. I feel… different. Looking down, I see my hands still glowing, like they do before the blast—but this time, the

Chapter 18 – Ghosts in the Hallway

Kieran’s POV “What is it, Damon?” I ask, matching his brisk pace down the corridor. “I can’t explain. Just… see for yourself,” he mutters, and opens my office door. Sitting inside like she owns the place is Aubrey. I step in fast and shut the door behind me. “Hi, KieKie,” she greets with that sickly-sweet voice she’s always used when she’s up to something. “Aubrey.” I keep my face blank. “Want to explain the little resurrection trick you pulled?” “That’s actually why I’m here,” she says, all fake innocence and fluttering lashes. “Or maybe I should see how many times you can do it,” I snap, feeling my anger spike and the familiar red haze start to cloud my vision. “Just hear her out,” Damon says, placing a calming hand on my shoulder. I don’t answer. “I know about the war,” she begins. I scoff. “You and eve

Chapter 19- Shadows of the Luna

Zoey’s POVEverything feels different now.I’ve said that a lot in the past few days, but this time it really does.It’s like I’ve just shifted for the first time again—new, stronger, more aware. My senses hum at the surface, finally under control. And it’s all because of him. He’s the storm and the calm, the trigger and the balm. Every second I spend near him, something buried deep inside me stirs.The power I’ve hidden for so long—whatever it is—keeps clawing its way up, as if it knows he’s the one who can unleash it. But with that rise comes another war: instinct versus logic… or is it fear?A part of me wants to run to him, let him still the chaos he somehow quiets just by existing. But he also awakens something in me. Something wild. Something I’m afraid I won’t survive once it's fully unleashed. And all I’ve ever known how to do is survive—His scent hits me before I hear him—earth, smoke, and something darker. It seeps through the steam of my shower, coiling around me like a se

CHAPTER 20 — The Space Between Us

Kieran’s POV“Have breakfast for two brought up,” I instruct the cook.He glances at Zoey, whose back is turned as she sits in my office, seemingly engrossed in the view outside. When he notices my stare, he quickly bows, mumbling, “Yes, Alpha.”I take the seat across from her. She turns, her expression unreadable but expectant.“You wanted to see me?” she asks, tone level, but there’s a strange pulse to her energy—calm, controlled… humming.“I think you should be excused from combat training for the time being,” I say, hiding behind my real reason. Her safety.She blinks, clearly taken aback. Hurt flashes across her face before she composes herself.“I can get better,” she replies, resolute.“I know you can,” I say, surprised by the steel in her voice.“So why aren’t you letting me?”Her tone isn’t angry, just firm. She meets my eyes, still and sure, her skin glowing faintly with warmth. Somet
