All Chapters of The Haven Of Shadows : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Inferno’s POV (Within Alejandro’s Mind)It tickles. The first time, it is barely a ripple, a weak tracer spell brushing against my aura like a moth bumping a flame. Amateurs. I curl deeper into the recesses of Alejandro’s subconscious, stretching my claws through the threads of our shared soul, and smile. My smile is slow, sharp, and ancient. They are trying to find us again. How quaint. They think Alejandro is alone. They think the our mate is just human. Heck, they think I am asleep. And honestly, I was. Mostly. But now? They have poked too many times. They have stirred the coals. And I’m done playing polite.I rise slowly, like smoke through cracks in old stone. The mindscape Alejandro built is still holding, the villa walls, the moonlit windows, the memory of the observatory where he first touched her hand. Sweet. But fragile. So while my other half sleeps in exhaustion after another restless night, dreaming of old kings and bloodlines and truths too big to say aloud, I handle t

Alejandro’s POV She's glowing. Not literally, but something about her… has shifted. The moment she whispers, “I remember,” something deep in my chest uncoils, like an ancient chain snapping loose.My fingers grip her tighter before I even know why. “Zenith… what do you mean you remember?” Her hand slides to my chest, over my heart, and suddenly I feel heat blooming from her skin. Not fever. Not magic. Something… older.She looks up at me, her eyes wide, watery, but sharp with memory. “The cabin. The silver thread. The wolf I saved… it was you.” My throat closes. Her voice drops lower, awed. “You were just a boy. Your ribs were crushed. Grandma said if I stitched wrong, you would d bleed out.” Her voice breaks at the end and I hold her a little tighter.I remember now too. Though it is a little faint, from the haze of pain and instinct. That moment in the woods. A small pair of hands, calm in the face of death. The scent of vanilla and moss. A soft voice whispering, "You're going to l

Third-Person Limited POV In the war room of Redmoon Pack, silence chokes the air. Only the hum of encrypted screens and the cold tick of the wall-mounted clock dares speak. Until the communication line crackles.“Unit Alpha-3 to Command. Do you copy?” Alpha Xavier Wolfgang leans forward, eyes narrowing. His hand hovers over the call button, but it is not him but Xander, his carbon-copy heir, who answers first. “Report. Did you confirm the kill?” He can barely contain his eagerness despite the fact that the one to be killed is his twin brother!A long , uncomfortable pause. “No, sir. Target remains at large.” Silence. Then... “Excuse me?” Xavier’s voice is quiet. Too quiet, and only those who know him will understand just how enraged the big alpha is. “We had a tracker rune set. It ruptured. The moment the girl, his mate, unlocked her seal.” “Seal?” Xander repeats, his brow furrowing. “I is an unknown mystical barrier and a high-tier one. Our runes bled. We lost all tethering.” Mor

Elandros Vire’s POV The mountain air bites sharp against my skin, carrying the scent of pine, earth, and ancient stone. I sit cross-legged on the smooth floor of the old sanctuary, a cavern carved by hands now lost to time, far from mortal cities. Candles flicker with a pale, steady light, but my gaze is fixed on the bracelet lying in my palm, the obsidian band etched with sapphire runes, humming softly with dormant power. It has been centuries since the bracelet last sang, but tonight its voice stirs again, tentative, trembling like a distant heartbeat just beginning to quicken.I close my eyes and reach into the threads of fate. The Crownless Wolf is waking. A pulse of raw, wild power ripples through the weave. Alejandro Wolfgang. No, it is actually Alejandro Bloodfang. The lost son, the forgotten heir, the boy who vanished from the pack’s history like a shadow swallowed by dawn. His bloodline carries weight heavier than he knows. I feel it now, deep and steady, beneath the surfac

Zenith’s POVIt has been three days since we have both officially been home, together, every minute of every hour, breathing the same air, moving around each other like orbiting stars. And yet... Alejandro still feels distant sometimes. Like he is holding something back. Like there is a wall I cannot see, but I feel every time I reach for more.I do not know what I expected. That a mate bond would feel like lightning striking? Like the fantasy romance books promised, a burning, desperate need to always be near, to touch, to claim?But here I am. Fully aware of what we are to each other. And still, Alejandro touches me like I am glass. He kisses me like I might shatter. He sleeps beside me like he is a man on the verge of breaking, and yet, never crosses that invisible line. And it is driving me insane.I have read about werewolves. About the mate bond. About the heat that builds, the instincts that pull and tangle like vines. I know what it is supposed to feel like. I know what I feel
