Chapter 61 – The Bait

Bella’s POVThe world came back in pieces.Cold first—stone biting through thin fabric, seeping into my skin like water through cracks. Then the ache in my arms, shoulders stretched cruelly above my head. My wrists burned, raw under iron shackles that clinked with every twitch.Then sound—water dripping steadily somewhere beyond sight. A chain scraping as I shifted. Breathing that wasn’t mine, low and steady, patient as a predator.When my eyes opened, darkness swam before them. Torchlight guttered in brackets along a wall, too far for warmth, only enough to sketch jagged shadows across damp stone.And in those shadows, a shape I knew too well.Lilith.She lounged in a carved chair like it was a throne, crimson silk pooling around her legs, dark hair tumbling down her shoulders. Her pale fingers toyed lazily with the hilt of a dagger resting against her thigh. Her icy-blue eyes gleamed in the firelight as her mouth curved into a smile sharp enough to bleed.“Finally awake.”I swallowe

Chapter 62 – The Alpha’s Wrath

Bella’s POVThe panic was a live thing in my chest, sharp-clawed and desperate, raking from the inside out.I forced it down. Forced myself to breathe shallow and steady, to keep the sound of air moving in and out of me quieter than the rattling of the chains. Fear, if I let it rule me, would turn me into exactly what Lilith wanted—a trembling little human waiting to be broken.So I studied.So I listened.The dungeon had its own language if I stayed still enough to hear it.A steady drip of water echoed from somewhere far away, slow and rhythmic: one, two, three, pause, repeat. If I ever lost the thread of time, I could count by the drops. To my left, boots scuffed the stone at intervals. The guard there dragged his foot slightly on the third step each time—an old injury, maybe, or just habit. To my right, another man cleared his throat every so often, a phlegmy sound that spoke of boredom. He cracked his knuckles between stretches of silence.Two of them, then. At least two I could

Chapter 63 – Shackles and Defiance

Bella’s POVThey dragged me from the cell by the chain between my cuffs, not by my arms. It was a small cruelty and an effective one—the link hauled my shoulders forward and down so I staggered, breath snatching, toes scuffing stone. The corridor widened, swallowing the torchlight into a vaulted chamber whose cold reached marrow. Smoke crawled along the ceiling in sluggish veins; damp gathered in the cracks like sweat.They fixed me to a pillar at the room’s center—a round spine of rock banded with old iron. The shackle ring was set at the height of a wolf’s shoulders, forcing my arms overhead until the sockets ached and went from fire to numb to fire again. When the guard let the chain fall, the weight of it pulled a soft clank out of the metal, a sound that seemed too small for a hall this size.Rogues crowded the perimeter like carrion birds waiting for meat to stop twitching. Their armor was a patchwork of scavenged plates, dented greaves, leather stiff with old blood. Torchlight

Chapter 64 – The Rescue

Lucian’s POVThe horn’s ugly blare hadn’t finished echoing when I hit the inner passage at a dead run.Stone shuddered around me, dust drifting like ash from the seams. The rogues had built their hall by gnawing a mountain hollow and calling the bones theirs; now the mountain remembered it belonged to no one. I slammed my shoulder into a crossbarred door. Iron shrieked, bolts tore from rotten sockets, and the panel flew inward hard enough to bounce and crash flat.Heat licked my face—torchwash, breath, the hot-copper reek of old blood. Beyond, a cavernous chamber swam into focus: a ring of armed dogs in scrap armor; a dais hacked from living rock; and in the center, a pillar banded with iron. Chained to that iron—arms hauled over her head, wrists strip-burned, chin lifted anyway—was the only thing that still kept my body moving.Bella.My vision tunneled; sound collapsed to a single thrum—the bond humming low and frantic under my ribs. Rogues jerked toward me, some with blades halfway

Chapter 66 – A Wolf’s Plea

Bella’s POVBy the time we reached the hunting lodge beyond the ridge, Lucian was barely conscious.The place sat in a hollow crowded by fir trees, an old Stormfang outpost built for winter patrols and forgotten hunts. One corner of the roof sagged beneath years of snow, and the chimney leaned slightly away from the wind, but the walls were thick and the shutters still held. Kael assured me there was only one road in and one narrow trail out, which was apparently supposed to make me feel better.It did not.Lucian made it three steps across the threshold before his knees gave.Kael caught him under one arm. I caught the other without thinking, and his weight nearly dragged me down with him. He was frighteningly hot even through the layers between us, his body rigid with the effort of staying upright.“Easy,” Kael grunted as we hauled him toward the narrow bed against the far wall. “He gets heavier when he’s being stubborn.”“He’s always stubborn.”“Exactly.”Lucian made a rough sound

Chapter 65 – Blood and Fury

Lucian’s POVThe gorge narrowed as we moved deeper into the pines, the river disappearing behind walls of black rock while the trees crowded overhead and swallowed what little moonlight remained. We traveled without torches, relying on wolf sight and the faint silver wash filtering through the branches. Kael took point with Bella beside him, while I kept several paces behind—not so close that she would feel watched, but close enough that I could hear every uneven breath she tried to hide.She was exhausted. There was a slight drag in her right foot now, barely noticeable unless one knew where to look, and every few steps she curled her fingers into the borrowed cloak as though testing whether her hands still belonged to her. Angry red marks circled both wrists where the shackles had bitten through skin, and whenever the scent of her blood reached me, my wolf pressed harder against my control.Getting her out of that fortress had not calmed him. If anything, seeing the damage done to h

Chapter 67 – Lilith’s Escape

Lilith’s POVBy the time Lucian reached the lower cells, I was already gone.The old keep had been built by wolves who believed stone made them invincible. Thick walls, iron gates, narrow passages designed to trap invading armies in places where defenders could slaughter them from above. Impressive, perhaps, if one intended to defend it. Less impressive when half the rogues were busy dying beneath Stormfang claws and every surviving fool had forgotten the passages beneath their own feet.I slipped through one of those passages with blood drying beneath my fingernails and Lucian’s roar shaking dust from the ceiling behind me.He had come for her.Of course he had.Even underground, with several layers of stone between us, I had felt the force of his fury when he entered the keep. The rogues certainly had. Men who had swaggered through the halls hours earlier had scattered like frightened pups once Stormfang breached the outer defenses.All for a human.My boots struck wet stone as I mo

Chapter 68 – The Truth Revealed

Bella’s POVStormfang looked exactly as I remembered it.Black stone climbed against the mountain in severe layers, its watchtowers cutting into a pale morning sky while the iron gates opened with the same grinding complaint I had once heard from the back of Lucian’s carriage. Wolves along the walls paused as our group crossed the bridge, their conversations thinning until there was little left but horses’ hooves against stone and the wind snapping Stormfang banners overhead.A year ago, the staring would have made me shrink into myself. Today I sat straighter despite every bruise the fortress had given me, one hand wrapped loosely around the reins while my freshly bandaged wrists rested against my lap. When whispers started near the training yard, I heard them without turning.“She really came back.”“I thought she was—”“The human Luna.”Kael’s warning growl rolled across the courtyard before the last voice could finish. The nearby wolves suddenly discovered fascinating reasons to s

Chapter 69 – Bella’s Walls

Bella’s POVI avoided Lucian until noon, which turned out to be easier than it should have been. Stormfang had changed enough during my absence to give me places to disappear into: a nervous maid brought fresh clothes, the healer changed the bandages around my wrists, and breakfast arrived on a tray I barely touched. By the time I finally slipped out of the packhouse, the mountain air had turned crisp and bright, and the cold felt cleaner than anything inside those walls.I followed the path behind the kitchens toward the old herb garden, where stone terraces stepped down toward the forest. Frost still clung beneath the hedges, but rosemary and winter thyme had survived, releasing sharp green scents whenever the hem of my skirt brushed them. I wanted somewhere quiet, somewhere no one would ask me how I felt or whether I intended to stay.Preferably somewhere without Lucian.The irony announced itself when I reached the lower terrace and found him leaning against the stone archway.I s

Chapter 70 – The Rival Alphas’ Offer

Bella’s POVThe first time I saw Magnus Veyar without blood between us, he was smiling. Not kindly, but not cruelly either, and somehow that made him more dangerous. I had gone to the old east courtyard because Stormfang’s walls had begun to feel too close again, and the abandoned space offered exactly what I wanted—cracked stone, dead ivy, winter grass pushing through the flagstones, and almost no wolves wandering through.I had just settled on the low edge of a dry fountain when a voice behind me said, “I expected someone taller.”I turned so quickly my wrist protested beneath the bandage. A man leaned against the ruined archway as if he had every right to be there, broad through the shoulders and perhaps a little older than Lucian, with dark hair pushed carelessly back from a face that looked far too relaxed for someone trespassing inside enemy territory. His eyes were a deep green, darker than leaves, the color of a forest just after rain.Recognition came almost immediately.Magn
