Semua Bab Marked By Fate: Bab 41 - Bab 50

I sat on the bed, not sure what to do with myself. The sun was already past its peak, golden light slipping across the floor in streaks. The room was quiet, and so was everything around me, except my own head.Alpha Black’s words came floating back like an echo.“You’ll start training tomorrow.”That wasn’t just a warning — it was a beginning. Especially now.With Nora awake, everything felt different.“It’s a good thing,” she said inside me, her voice soft but excited. “We should start with our transformation.”“Transformation?” I asked, brows pulling together.“Yeah,” she replied, already giggling like she knew something I didn’t. “Transform into me.”“Oh,” I said, standing up, like that cleared anything up at all.I took a breath.“Alright. What do I do?”“Trust me,” she said. “Free your mind. Let me take control.”So I did. I don’t even know how—I just focused on letting go, like falling asleep while still awake. And slowly, I felt it happening.It was like floating.Like I was st

After lunch, I made my way back upstairs without saying much to anyone. I didn’t know if anyone noticed, but I didn’t care. I just wanted quiet. My room was still the same—still still. The curtains I’d melted earlier were gone. Someone must have cleaned it up.I didn’t think too hard about that.I got out of the clothes I’d worn to lunch and stepped into the bathroom. The water was hot, almost too hot, and I stayed under it for a long time. Let it pour over my skin, trying to feel the tension melt off.No thoughts. Just heat and silence.When I finally stepped out, I wrapped myself in a towel, dried off slowly, and changed into something soft and light. I had no intention of going back out tonight. The sky outside was already turning amber, the edges of evening creeping in.Dinner? No. Not happening. I wasn’t hungry.Instead, I sat on the floor near the bed—bare floor, cool under my legs—and crossed them. My back rested against the frame. I closed my eyes.“Are you there?” I whispered

Everything froze. For one long, silent moment, the entire world held its breath.Then movement resumed. People rushed past again.Diva stared at the spot where the rogue had vanished, then at me.She shook her head in disbelief, lips parting slightly like she wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words. Then finally, she spoke, urgent and fast:“You have to get back inside. Lock your door. Shut the windows. Alpha Black’s orders.”“But—”“Go, Selene!” she snapped. “There’s no time. We’re under full ambush. Rogues. Dozens of them. They must’ve surrounded the territory before closing in. They’re coming from every side.”Even as she said it, more dark shapes appeared in the distance—shifting and sprinting through the trees.Every instinct in me screamed to stay, to fight. I could feel Nora pushing forward, her power stirring again.“No,” Nora said sharply, her voice colder now. “We can't leave. We fight.”I clenched my fists. “Not now—”“They’re attacking our pack,” she hissed. “Y

Alpha Black walked ahead of me, steady and sure, toward the pack house. He didn’t glance back, didn’t say a word. I followed in silence, a few paces behind, trying not to trip over the fact that my heart was still racing.People watched us as we passed. Warriors paused, then quickly looked away, returning to the grim task of clearing the battlefield—piling rogue bodies, tending to the wounded. I didn’t know if anyone from our side had fallen. I hoped not. But no one was celebrating.Dawn was just beginning to rise, pale light peeking through the trees. The sky was still bruised from the night’s battle.As we reached the pack house, I saw the older women and children—the ones who had been hidden for safety—begin to emerge. They came out hesitantly at first, then faster, many rushing to embrace bloodied warriors who had made it back alive.It was quiet joy. A kind of shaky relief.We stepped inside.Alpha Black led me through the hall and straight into his office on the ground floor. As

As the last of my strength slipped from me, I whispered to her with what little air I had left, “Remember who you are, Selene. You are me. And this… this is what I am.”The words were soft, but somehow the wind picked them up and carried them. Then everything around me faded into dust.I snapped back into the real world.My eyes flew open and I screamed.The transition was so violent, so sharp, I could still feel the phantom pain of the sword in my back. My whole body trembled.And there—standing just inches in front of me—was Alpha Black.His tall frame cast a long shadow over the grass. His dark eyes were locked on mine.I scrambled to my feet, my chest heaving.“What the hell was that?” I whispered, panic tightening my throat.“I do not know,” Nora answered quietly inside my mind. “Those aren’t my memories. I didn’t do that. I didn’t live that.”Her voice was shaken. That alone scared me more than anything.“Selene?” Alpha Black said again, this time more gentle. But it still made
