Chapter Eighty One

(Rex’s POV) I don’t like surprises. Especially not the kind that walk into my territory like they belong there. And I definitely don’t like people who look at her like they already know how this ends. The courtyard hadn’t moved. No one spoke. No one relaxed. Even the younger wolves had stopped training completely. Good. They were learning. When something feels wrong, you don’t ignore it. I took one step forward. Slow. Measured. Enough to make it clear that this conversation moves on my terms. “You don’t get to walk in here, speak in riddles, and expect patience.” My voice carried. Not loud. But absolute. The stranger didn’t flinch. If anything, he looked amused. “Fair,” he said. “Then let’s stop pretending this is normal.” Kaelen shifted slightly beside me. “Already ahead of you.” The stranger ignored him. His focus stayed where I didn’t want it. On Isabella. Always Isabella. I stepped further into his line of sight. Blocking that view. “Look at me when you

Chapter Eighty Two

(Rex’s POV) “Someone who knows what she becomes…” His words still hung in the air. Heavy. Unwelcome. Dangerous. I stepped forward. Slow. Measured. Every instinct in me locked onto him. “If you know something,” I said coldly, “you say it now.” No games. No riddles. No half-truths. Not here. Not with her standing right behind me. He didn’t flinch. Didn’t back down. Instead, he studied me. Really studied me. Like I was part of the equation. “…You’re exactly what I expected,” he murmured. That was the wrong thing to say. My patience snapped tight. “I’m not the one you should be testing.” A faint smile tugged at his lips. “Oh, I know.” His gaze flicked past me again. “To her.” I didn’t turn. Didn’t need to. I could feel her there. Steady. Watching. Kaelen moved slightly to my side. Ash stayed quiet for once. That alone told me how serious this had just become. “Talk,” I repeated. The stranger exhaled slowly. Like he was deciding how much to give. The

Chapter Eighty Three

(Rex’s POV) I don’t like the way this is going. Not the enemy. Not the warnings. Not him. But most of all— I don’t like the way she’s listening. The courtyard didn’t move. No one stepped forward. No one spoke. Because what he said? It didn’t feel like a threat. It felt like truth. And truth is harder to fight. “They target choice.” The words replayed in my head, sharper each time. I don’t deal in “what ifs.” I deal in certainty. Action. Control. But this? This was none of those things. I exhaled slowly. Then made a decision. “Walk with me.” It wasn’t a request. It wasn’t directed at the pack. Just him. Kaelen tensed immediately. “Rex—” “I said walk.” My tone shut it down. The stranger didn’t hesitate. Of course he didn’t. He fell into step beside me like this was expected. Like he’d been waiting for it. That irritated me more than anything. We left the courtyard. Not far. Just beyond the training grounds, where the trees began to thicken and the

Chapter Eighty Four

(Rex’s POV ) I knew something was wrong before I reached the gates. You don’t lead a pack as long as I have without learning the difference between panic and control. This wasn’t panic. It was silence. The wrong kind. The courtyard—usually loud, alive, restless— Was still. Too still. Every wolf stood frozen, heads tilted slightly upward. Watching. Waiting. No one spoke. No one moved. My chest tightened. “Move.” The word snapped through them like a command they didn’t realize they were waiting for. They parted instantly. Clearing a path. And then I saw her. Isabella stood in the center of the courtyard. Alone. Completely still. Her head tilted slightly upward. Eyes closed. And the air around her— It wasn’t just shifting. It was responding. A faint glow pulsed from her chest. Not bright. Not violent. Steady. Rhythmic. Like a heartbeat— But stronger. Bigger. The sky above Blackthorn reflected it. A soft ripple spreading outward, barely visible—but the

Chapter Eighty Five

(Rex’s POV )I’ve faced enemies before.Men. Alphas. Things that didn’t belong in our world.They all had one thing in common—They came to take.Territory. Power. Lives.That, I understand.That, I can fight.But this?Five figures standing at the edge of my territory…Not attacking.Not threatening.Offering.I don’t trust anything that offers instead of takes.Because it means they don’t need to force it.“She has been marked.”The words replayed in my head.Sharp. Controlled. Final.“No,” I said again.Lower this time.More dangerous.“She hasn’t.”The one in front tilted its head slightly.Studying me.Like I was… irrelevant.“She responded,” it repeated.“That establishes connection.”Behind me—I felt Isabella shift.Not away.Closer.“Rex…”Her voice was quiet.But steady.I didn’t look back.“Stay where you are.”“She needs to hear this,” another one said.Different voice.Same tone.Cold. Measured.“No,” I replied.“She doesn’t need anything from you.”Silence.Then—The fir

Chapter Eighty Six

(Rex’s POV) No. I refuse that. “She already has.” That’s not how this works. No one makes a choice like that without knowing. Without saying it. Without meaning it. I stepped forward again. Closer than before. Too close for them to ignore me now. “Explain.” My voice was low. Controlled. One step away from something far less controlled. The figure didn’t move. Didn’t react to the threat in my tone. It just— Spoke. “The signal was not random.” Behind me, I felt Isabella go still. “It was not accidental.” “No,” I cut in immediately. “You’re wrong.” Silence. Then— “That is your interpretation.” My jaw clenched. “It was a response,” the figure continued. “Acknowledgment.” My chest tightened. “Acknowledgment of what.” This time— It answered without hesitation. “Of us.” The courtyard seemed to shrink. The air— Too tight. Too heavy. “No,” I said again. Stronger. Sharper. “She didn’t call you.” The figure tilted its head slightly. “She answered.” I

Chapter Eighty Seven

(Rex POV) I’ve felt power before. The messy kind. The kind that tears things open. This wasn’t that. This was worse. Because it didn’t feel like it was building. It felt like it was choosing. Her fingers dug into my arm. Not because she was scared. Because she was bracing. Holding herself together. “Rex…” Her voice was thin, like she was rationing air. “What is it.” She shook her head, just barely. Her eyes flickered silver, then gone, then back. “It’s pushing.” Everything in me went still. “No.” Not here. Not to her. Not now. “It’s not like before,” she said fast, like she needed me to understand before it was too late. “It’s not trying to break out…” She swallowed. “…it’s trying to lock in.” Lock in. That word landed wrong. Heavy. Final. Kaelen stepped closer behind us. “What does that mean.” She didn’t answer. She didn’t have to. I could already feel it. The air around her didn’t expand. It tightened. Pulled in. Like the world was holding

Chapter Eighty Eight

(REX'S POV)Control.That word doesn’t fade. It sticks. Gets into your head and rearranges the furniture. And right now, it’s the only thing I can hear. “It chose a side.” She said it without shaking. That’s what got to me. Not panic. Not doubt. Certainty. My hand tightened on her arm. Not to hurt. Just to feel her. To remind both of us she was still here. Still with me. “No,” I said again. Like saying it enough times could make it true. Her face softened. That dangerous kind of soft she gets when she thinks I’m about to do something stupid to protect her. “Rex…” “No,” I said, quieter. “Whatever this is, it doesn’t get to choose anything.” “It already did.” The words didn’t come from her. They came from behind us. I looked up fast. The air went cold. Sharp. And there he was. Lucien. Leaning against the stone arch like he’d been watching the whole damn thing. Kaelen moved first. “You just appear now?” Ash muttered, “Yeah, real great timing, man.” I d

Chapter Eighty Nine

(Isabella POV) It’s getting louder. Not out there. Not in the courtyard or the sky. In here. Inside my head. At first it was just a tug. Something brushing the edge of my thoughts. Easy to ignore. Easy to pretend wasn’t real. Not anymore. Now it feels like I’m standing between two people talking at once, both expecting me to answer. And the worst part? I understand both of them. I kept my eyes on Rex. Not because I had to. Because I wanted to. Because when I look at him, the world narrows down to something I can touch. Something solid. Safe. But the second my focus slips, even for a second, it’s there. That other awareness. Watching. Listening. Waiting. ' You felt it.' The voice wasn’t sound. It didn’t echo. It didn’t shake the air. It just was. Clear. Certain. Like my own thoughts, but not mine. I didn’t flinch. Didn’t let it show. But my pulse jumped. And that was enough. Rex’s hand tightened around mine. “Stay with me,” he murmured. I swallowed. “
