Chapter 61

The journey through the shadowed forest was quiet, each step crunching softly beneath their feet. The afternoon sun filtered through the dense canopy, slicing the air into golden shafts that illuminated dust motes and the exhaustion written on Kael’s face. Every few minutes he would stumble, his body protesting, and Damon’s hand would slide to his shoulder, steadying him without a word. Evelyn felt a pang of guilt, wishing he didn’t have to bear this burden, that the journey could be easier, but she knew it wasn’t possible. The hike should of been over by now but Kael had them walking slower than anticipated, he had pushed himself too hard and ripped open the stitches again. Mira and Brina walked close to her, small and determined, faces pale but resolute. Their little hands occasionally brushed hers for reassurance, and each time she squeezed theirs back, a silent promise to protect them. They were only eight, yet their eyes carried centuries of wisdom and terror no child should ev

Morning came slow, pale light stretching across the forest through the thin mist. Evelyn woke with the faint ache of yesterday’s trek still clinging to her muscles. The air smelled of damp earth and pine, faintly sweet where the river ran nearby. For a moment she just lay there, listening. Listening to the gentle rise and fall of Damon’s breathing beside her and the subtle stirrings of the twins and Kael around the safehouse. Caleb, Damon’s wolf, hummed low in the bond, a quiet vibration that seeped into her bones and kept her grounded. Stretching carefully, Evelyn pushed herself upright. The twins were already awake, Mira rubbing her eyes, Brina tugging at her hair, both trying to seem brave but failing at hiding the fatigue in their movements. Evelyn smiled gently, brushing a lock of hair from Mira’s face. “Good morning,” she whispered. “We’ve got a lot ahead of us today.” Aleta moved quietly outside, checking the protective wards once more, her eyes scanning the treeline, lips

The new safehouse felt almost too quiet, a rare pause after the chaos of the last few weeks. For the first time in what felt like forever, Evelyn allowed herself to simply exist. No scanning for threats, no counting every movement for danger, no anticipating shadows that weren’t there. She inhaled slowly, the scent of pine and damp earth filling her lungs, and felt, just for a heartbeat, the strange luxury of calm. The twins moved about like small shadows, exploring corners, laughing softly at each other’s jokes—quiet, measured, but carrying a lightness Evelyn hadn’t realized she’d missed. Mira’s curious eyes scanned every shelf, every table, while Brina followed, careful to step where her sister stepped. Each small giggle, each whispered conversation, filled the room with life she hadn’t allowed herself to enjoy before. Aleta moved silently through the house, tending to wards along the perimeter and muttering spells under her breath. The soft vibrations of her incantations were a

The path leading to Balmol and Kanya’s pack lands felt almost sacred in its quiet beauty. The evening fog hung low over the forest floor, dew clinging to leaves and grass, and Evelyn inhaled the sharp, clean scent of pine and wet earth. She walked alongside Damon and Kael, the twins’ small forms a few steps ahead, curiosity and hesitation mingling in every careful footstep. The gentle crunch of boots and tiny shoes on soft dirt was the only sound, accompanied by the occasional whisper of a bird waking to the day. The forest opened into rolling fields dotted with clusters of sturdy stone cottages and wooden watchtowers. Smoke curled from chimneys in gentle spirals, carrying the scent of wood fire and freshly baked bread. Evelyn’s chest tightened. This was a home, a haven, the kind of place she hadn’t imagined the twins would ever see again. Her eyes lingered on the cottages, each one solid and welcoming, the way the sunlight hit the roofs and made the windows glint like polished sto
