Chapter 119

The walk back home felt endless. The only sounds heard were the soft thuds of her footsteps and the rustle of birds above as they moved between trees.When she finally reached her room, Nyssa sat quietly on her bed, her mind was too loud for the silence around her…. Everything that had happened in the past few hours felt like a dream she couldn’t wake from. The Queen had regained her memory, the truth had been revealed, and now…. It was like her mission was done, yet she felt incomplete.The door creaked softly, and before she could even turn, she knew who it was. His scent, warm, steady, and familiar always gave him away.“Lucien,” she breathed softly, looking up.He stood by the door for a moment, his tall frame very revealing. It was rare to see Lucien unsure of himself. But right now, he looked like a man who had too many words and didn’t know where to start.“Can I come in?” he asked quietly.Nyssa nodded, shifting slightly on the bed to make room though he didn’t sit. He just s

She pressed her palm against her chest immediately and whispered to herself, “Why does it feel like this again?”She turned toward the window, and she could see the glowing silver across the pack house. It shined so brightly, almost as if it was telling her something. Its light poured into her room, spilling over her face. It had always been the same moon, the same soft gaze of the goddess who brought her back, but tonight…. it shined brighter.A knock on the door startled her.She turned quickly. “Who’s there?”The door creaked open, and Alice peeked in, a small smile on her face. “You’re awake. I thought you might have slept already.”Nyssa shook her head. “Couldn’t. Too much noise up here,” she said, pointing to her head with a tired laugh. “You knocked this time. That's a first.”“I saw Lucien coming in earlier, and I didn't feel like walking into anything I shouldn't see. Lucy rolled her eyes as Alice stepped inside. She sat at the edge of the bed. Her tone remained calm. “You l

Chapter 121

Nyssa blinked rapidly, her chest still heaving from the remnants of the dream that she just had.Then came Alice voice again“Nyssa, sre you okay?”She nooded and turned sharply. Alice was sitting at the edge of the bed, her eyes wide and worried, the pale morning light from the window brushed over her facial features, making her look almost ghostly.“What….. what are you doing here?” Nyssa managed to whisper, voice shaky and raw. “Why were you all up in my face?”Alice tilted her head, her expression softening but filled with unease. “I felt something was wrong,” she said. “It woke me up from my sleep. I could feel your energy shift…. like something dark and heavy was pressing against it. I came to check on you.”Nyssa’s eyes darted away, guilt clouding her expression. “You shouldn’t have bothered,” she murmured. “Nyssa,” Alice said gently, “what happened? You said the moon goddess came to you?”Nyssa swallowed hard, fighting to steady her breathing. The scene from moments ago still

Chapter 122

Lucy froze at the doorway, her heart hammering in her chest as the words she overheard echoed in her mind.…. Nyssa wanted to leave the pack.For a moment, she couldn’t breathe. Her throat tightened painfully, and before anyone could speak, her eyes brimmed with tears.“You… you’re leaving?” she whispered, voice cracking.Nyssa turned sharply, her heart lurching when she saw Lucy’s face streaked with disbelief. “Lucy—-”But Lucy took a shaky step backward. “After everything? After all that’s happened, you’re just…. leaving?”Her words trembled, her voice cracked hoarsely Papa Ganda’s expression softened, but he said nothing. Alice exchanged a worried glance with Nyssa, silently urging her to speak up. But before Nyssa could speak again, Lucy turned and ran down the hall, past the arched corridor that led toward the eastern gardens. Her sobs echoed faintly in the night air.Nyssa stood frozen for a moment, guilt pressing hard in her chest. Then she turned to Alice. “I need to go to her

Chapter 123

The garden was quiet.Alice and Lucy had already gone ahead to the packhouse, Nyssa remained, standing beneath the beautiful glow of the moonlight. The night breeze caressed her hair, carrying it to her face, and she gently brushed it off.But she felt sad.She should have felt relief, Lucy was calmer now. She had accepted the fact that she needed to go, but the guilt that had been pressing on her chest since morning had increased slightly. She felt more confused than ever.Was she doing the right thing by leaving?She told herself she was. She had broken the Moon Goddess’s rules, defied her purpose, and lost control of her heart. Staying in the pack only made things worse. It was safer and wiser to leave before things became even more entangled.But even as she thought about it, her heart fought against it.She could still see Lucien’s face, the way his eyes softened when he looked at her, the unspoken words in his gaze that made her pulse race. She could hear his voice in her mind,

Chapter 124

Nyssa stared at Papa Ganda. Her mind went blank for a while. For a long time, she couldn’t form the right words. It was as though her thoughts had simply stopped, drowned in the weight of the words he had just said.“The Moon Goddess wishes that you and Lucien mate.”The words echoed again in her head, clear but impossible to believe.“No,” she said finally, shaking her head. “No, there’s no way that’s true. You must have misunderstood her. She can’t possibly want that.”Papa Ganda’s eyes remained steady, calm as always, though his expression carried a deep sadness. “Child, I did not misunderstand. The Goddess made herself clear.”“She would never ask that of me,” Nyssa insisted, her voice trembling. “You know what he’s done. You know what I’ve been through. Why would she want me to mate with the man who—-”Her voice broke before she could finish.Papa Ganda sighed. “The Moon Goddess works in ways we can not always understand. Sometimes, what feels like punishment is simply her way of

“Elder Albert?” Nyssa repeated, blinking at the Queen. “Why do you want to see him all of a sudden?”Queen Agatha’s gaze softened, but she held an unreadable expression, a mixture of sadness and impatience. “Because there are things I need to clarify with him,” she said quietly. “Things that have stayed buried for far too long.”Nyssa tilted her head slightly. “Clarify? About what, Your Majesty?”The Queen hesitated, her eyes flickering to the far end of the corridor as if the walls themselves might be listening. “Old matters. The kind that were swept away in the name of peace. I fear the truth may soon be lost if I don’t face it now.”There was something in her tone that made Nyssa uneasy. The Queen rarely spoke in riddles, and when she did, it usually meant trouble.Still, what puzzled her more was why the Queen chose to come to her?“Forgive me, Your Majesty,” Nyssa said carefully, “but… why are you asking me to help you meet Elder Albert? Wouldn’t it be easier to speak to the Alph

Chapter 126

Nyssa froze for a moment, unsure if she had heard him correctly. “You’re sending the Queen away?” she asked, her voice remained calm but edged with disbelief.Lucien nodded, pacing slowly across the room. His eyes remained on the ground, and his jaw tightened. “I don’t want any more drama between her and Elder Albert. The last thing this pack needs right now is gossip or another wave of unrest. The elders have already started whispering since she regained her strength. If she stays, things could spiral out of control.”Nyssa frowned. “But why would there be gossip?”Lucien turned, his gaze meeting hers. “You know how people are. The Queen and Elder Albert have history, a complicated one, and we do not know who is aware of this aside from the Late Alpha, If they start meeting again, tongues will wag.” He paused and stared at her for a minute before continuing.“Some of the servants already think there’s more to their connection than loyalty. And I can’t have that kind of talk under my

Chapter 127

Adrian stood frozen in the doorway. His eyes darted between Nyssa and Lucien, immediately realizing he had interrupted something private.“Oh the goddess, I didn’t mean to interrupt you guys” Adrian apologised with a sly smile plastered across his face.Nyssa’s face turned red immediately as she tried to hide the embarrassment in her face. “You didn't interrupt anything” Nyssa scratched the back of her head with her hands, laughing nervously. “I have to go do something,” she said, and before Lucien could stop her, she was out of the door.The moment the door shut behind her, Lucien turned to Adrian. His jaw tightened. “You have a habit of appearing in the wrong place at the wrong time,” he said, voice low but edged with irritation.Adrian lifted his hands slightly, a sign of surrender. “I truly didn’t mean to interrupt anything. I came because there’s something you need to know.”Lucien walked over to a chair and sat down.Lucien leaned back against his chair, folding his arms acros

Chapter 128

“Lucy!” Lucien’s voice thundered through the thick forest. The sound of his boots hitting the ground echoed as he moved between the trees, his wolf senses heightened. His mindlink stretched out desperately toward her.Lucy, where are you? Answer me!For a few seconds, there was no response. Then faintly her voice came through almost breathless, ‘I’m fine! I’m on the western path. Some rogues—-’The link broke.Lucien didn’t wait. He ran forward, and Adrian was right behind him, his pace matching the Alpha’s. The forest air was sharp with the scent of blood.They burst through a branch of trees just in time to see Lucy hand under a rogue’s arm as she drove her knee into his chest with surprising strength. Another rogue lunged at her from the side, but she twisted and slammed her elbow into his face, sending him sprawling into the dirt.For a moment, Lucien froze. She was fighting back.But before he could move, the rogues caught sight of him and Adrian emerging from the shadows. A low
