Chapter Sixty One: One Problem To Another Nora’s POV The room was silent, but my heart sure as heck wasn’t. It pounded too hard, as if it wanted to get out of my chest. Axel had brought me back, step by step, without putting me down despite my requests. His arms were reassuring, but my thoughts were not. My thoughts were screaming with all the words Selene had yelled at me, with all the verbal attacks from his parents, and then with. with who we had just encountered. I perched on the edge of the bed, my knees pulled tight to my chest. Axel closed the door and stood there with his dark, set jaw. For a moment, he didn’t budge. Not a single word escaped his lips. The silence surrounding us is almost as heavy as my pain. At last, I looked up at him and asked, my voice shaking, “Axel … who was that man?” Our eyes met, sharp and sad. He put a hand through his hair before he spoke again. “That’s my brother,” he said. “My father had him with another woman. Before he married my mother.” I

Chapter Sixty Three – The Calm Before the Storm I sat near Axel on the veranda, my hands shaking as I watched him. The sky was an orange and pink color as the sun set. Everything was silent around the pack. There were no talking voices or laughter. The only thing that moved was the wind in the trees. My heart was running a one hundred miles an hour. I felt the stress in the air. Axel looked all business-like. His eyes, intent; he moved with a purpose, surveying his weapons and strength. Yet, I knew it was there, in his eyes, the innate worry, the weight he carried. My chest ached, and this was just looking at him. I wanted to take away the danger. I wanted to make everything safe for him. I reached for his hand. My fingers were shaking. "Axel… I'm scared," I said quietly. Tears ran down my face. "What if the rogue… what if Lucien… what if something bad happens to you?" I burrowed my face into his shoulder. I was shaking. I was cold, though the evening air was warm. I didn’t want to

Chapter Sixty Five : Lucien Nora’s POV The night was heavy. I sat alone in my room, my head pressed against my knees. The moonlight slipped in through the small window, painting the floor in silver. My chest rose and fell quickly, my heart beating too fast. I could not stop thinking. My thoughts ran round and round like a trapped bird. How can I stop Axel from fighting Lucien? Every time I closed my eyes, I saw blood. I saw him lying hurt, broken, gone. My hands shook as I pressed them together, whispering to myself. “No… no, I can’t let this happen. I can’t lose him.” Maybe if I beg him again, maybe if I cry harder, he will listen. Or maybe… maybe I should go to the elders myself and tell them he cannot fight. Maybe I should run with him before the seven days come. Anything. Anything at all, as long as Axel doesn’t stand in front of that rogue. I rubbed my face with trembling hands, my tears making my cheeks wet. My chest ached from the weight inside it. Suddenly— The door

Chapter Sixty Seven – Secrets and Warnings Nora’s Pov I sat alone in my room, staring at the half of the necklace that Lucien had shown me. My heart felt heavy, and my hands shook as I held it. I couldn’t stop thinking about him the boy who saved me when I was little, the boy I promised I would marry. And now… he was here. He was standing in the same world as Axel, and my heart didn’t know what to do. I knew I could not tell Axel. Not now. Not when the challenge was so close, not when he needed to focus on protecting the pack, and himself. He could not be distracted. And I could not let anything come between him and me not yet. I pressed the necklace to my chest and closed my eyes. My mind was a whirlwind of memories. I remembered the cold night, the fear, and the sharp claws of the wolves that had cornered me. And then he appeared—Lucien. Strong, calm, brave. He had saved me. I had given him my half of the necklace and whispered that I would marry him when we met again. And now, y

Chapter Sixty Nine : Reassured Her Pov That night was heavy. The pack was quiet, too quiet, like everyone was holding their breath. Outside, the fire that burned in the middle of the field was already low, only smoke rising into the dark sky. Some guards moved about, but most people had gone to sleep, waiting for tomorrow. I lay on my bed, staring at the ceilingMy heart would not rest. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Axel standing against the rogue, and fear rushed through me like cold water. I turned from side to side, hugging myself, but sleep refused to come. At last, I stood up and walked to the small window. The night breeze touched my face, but it did not calm me. I wanted to be strong, but my heart was weak tonight. The door opened softly behind me, and when I turned, Axel was there. His tall frame filled the doorway, his eyes gentle even though his body was strong and sharp from training. “You’re not sleeping,” he said, his voice low, almost teasing. I shook my head
