The Last Blackthorne Heir Returns のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 111 - チャプター 120

As the survivors were gently guided toward the guest wing, I noticed Peta hanging back, her eyes darting around nervously, an old habit from captivity, I suspected."There's something else, isn't there?" I asked quietly, moving closer to her.She nodded, glancing around before lowering her voice. "I didn't want to say it in front of everyone, especially the children. But there's more. Before we escaped, I overheard the guards talking. They mentioned at least three other locations, one in Idaho, one somewhere in the Dakotas, and another they only referred to as 'the southern facility.'"My stomach clenched at her words. Five facilities that we knew of now, Montana, Wyoming, and three more, are still operating. How many wolves were still trapped? How many children?"Do you have any more details?" Kane asked, having moved close enough to hear. "Locations, security levels, numbers?"Peta shook her head apologetically. "Only fragments. The guards were c

I nodded, squaring my shoulders as we followed him inside. The brief respite had refreshed me, Diamond's energy flowing more smoothly now. Whatever challenges awaited us, I was ready to face them. With my mates at my side, my brother finding his strength, and the possibility of a new life growing within me, I had everything to fight for.Fin led us to the command center where Lucious, Kane, and Liam were gathered around a large map with Peta. The woman looked better after a few days of proper food and rest, though the shadows of her captivity still lingered in her eyes."Tell them what you remembered," Lucious encouraged gently.Peta nodded, tracing a finger along the Idaho border on the map. "The facility is built into the side of a mountain. I overheard one of the guards mentioning something called 'Project Moonstone' happening there." She shuddered slightly. "Whatever it is, it terrified even the senior guards. They'd threaten the most difficult captives with transfer to Moonstone

"It called me brother," Lucious said, his voice barely above a whisper. "Apollo woke me immediately, his energy surging to protect me."I shivered, wrapping my arms around myself. "Diamond did the same. She's still on high alert."We stood in the dim hallway, the moonlight casting long shadows across the polished floor. Through our bond, I could feel Apollo's golden energy intertwining with Diamond's silver light, both wolves communicating in ways beyond human understanding."It's real," Lucious murmured. "The shadow realm, the ancient one, it's all real.""And getting closer," I agreed. "Whatever barrier has kept it contained all these centuries is weakening."My brother ran a hand through his sleep-tousled hair, his eyes troubled. "The Priestess warned me this might happen. She said as our powers grew stronger, we might become more... visible to entities beyond our world.""Like beacons in the dark," I whispered, understanding immediately. Our combined power, especially after the cle

Alpha Maxwell, Richard, and Margaret immediately gathered around the tactical table to plan the coordinated attacks. Maps were spread out across the surface, with Richard marking potential entry points for the southern facility operation."I'll need a detailed breakdown of your counter-ritual," I said to the Priestess, trying to focus on our part of the mission rather than the growing anxiety in my chest. The thought of my mates going into danger without me was almost unbearable."Come with me," she replied. "Both of you. We have a lot to prepare and little time."I caught Kane's eye as Lucious, and I prepared to follow the Priestess. The intensity of his gaze told me everything his stoic expression concealed: fear for me, for our child, for the dangerous path ahead of us all."Be careful," I whispered as he pulled me into a brief, fierce embrace."Always," he promised, his lips brushing my forehead. "We'll be back before you know it."Fin approached next, his analytical mind already

Too late. The cracks in the crystal widened, purple energy seeping out like toxic gas. The masked figure threw back their head in triumph, arms raised toward the ceiling."Yes!" they cried as the chamber began to tremble. "Come forth, Master! The vessel breaks, the way opens!""What have we done?" Lucious's presence wavered beside me, Apollo's golden energy fluctuating with dismay.I felt Diamond surge forward with renewed determination. "We can still contain this," I insisted, focusing all my will on the leaking crystal. "Not by destroying it, but by purifying it."Drawing on every ounce of Diamond's silver power, I directed a concentrated beam of cleansing energy at the corrupted artifact. Lucious followed my lead, Apollo's golden light joining with Diamond's silver in a brilliant fusion that illuminated the spiritual plane.The masked figure screamed in rage, lunging toward the altar as if to physically protect the cracking crystal. "No! You cannot interfere! He comes!"Behind the
