Chapter 61—Before Tomorrow

Loren’s POV The field was already loud before I stepped into it.Not loud in a chaotic way at first—just that steady build of movement and impact that always came before something serious. Boots dragging through dirt, short bursts of laughter that never fully relaxed in comfort, the sound of bodies testing themselves like that were trying to remind each other what tomorrow meant without saying it.The match with Sablethorn was postponed to tomorrow.The air felt heavier because of it.I stepped fully into the field and rolled my shoulders once, scanning the space.Members of the pack spread across the field in loose formation. No formal lines, no neat structure, just pairs forming, breaking, shifting again. That was how we trained. Constant motion. Constant correction.Zeke was just watching.He stood near the center like he always did, not trying to own the space, but somehow doing it anyway. His eyes were moving through the group like he was reading something no one else could see.

Chapter 62—After the Win

Loren’s POV The morning at Sablethorn started earlier than anyone wanted.By the time we got there, the place was already awake. Not loud yet, but awake in the restless way that meant nobody had really slept. People moved around with too much purpose for that. The training grounds were being cleared, half finished conversations hanging in the cold morning air like everyone was trying to admit they were nervous.Members of Killers MC had already spread across the grounds, stretching, rolling stiff shoulders, acting like this was just another day when everyone knew it wasn’t.The first thing I noticed was Mia.She was quite early I must say.She was standing near the bikes with Cole, arms crossed while he said something that was clearly stupid enough to make her roll her eyes. She looked like she was trying very hard not to laugh, which somehow made it worse.Cole said something else and she shoved his shoulder.He looked deeply offended.I stopped walking and just watched them.Then,

Chapter 63—Night roads

Loren’s POV The diner was still loud from the celebration, but at our booth, things were quieter.Laughter came from one side of the room, someone was arguing seriously over fries near the counter and Darren was probably somewhere lying.At our table, it was just the three of us for the moment—Zeke, Mia and me.“So, how is school?” Zeke asked Mia.Mia looked up immediately.“Seriously?”“Yes.”“That sounds suspicious.”“It’s a question.”“It feels more like an interrogation.”I smiled into my drink, watching both of their expressions.She sighed and leaned back.“School is fine. Stressful. Loud. Too many people. But overall, I know why I’m here, so that should matter.”That made me laugh slightly.“And classes?” Zeke asked.“Fine.”Zeke didn’t push, he just looked at me and nodded.I knew she hated talking about things like this. I also knew she was carrying more than she was saying.So before I could think too much about it, I stood up. Both of them looked at me. I looked at her.“C

Chapter 64—The empty cell

Mia’s POV Morning came too quickly.I barely slept.Everytime I closed my eyes, I was back at the overlook, standing beside Loren with the city lights below us and his voice is too steady, too honest, saying things I had been trying hard not to think about.When something happens, you are the first person I think about. Terrible. Absolutely terrible.Because now I could not stop replaying it.And to make it worse, I believed it. That was the problem.I did not only believe what he said, but the fact that a part of me wanted him to say it.I stared at the swiping for a long time before finally giving myself up on sleep and dragging myself up from the bed.Morning light slipped weakly through the curtains, too bright for the little rest I had gotten. My room looked exactly the same, which felt rude considering my life was clearly not.I got ready slowly, mostly because thinking too hard before breakfast felt dangerous.I picked up the stone and stared at it for a moment before putting

Chapter 65–A little breath of fresh air

Alpha Bladen POV Bloodmoon no longer smelled like sickness.For days, the bitter scent of crushed herbs, fever and fear had clung to the air like a curse that refused to lift. It had settled into the walls of the infirmary, into the clothes of the guards, into the restless silence of every family waiting outside closed doors.Now, for the first time in what felt like forever, the air had changed.It still wasn’t peace, not yet, but it was something close enough that people dared to breathe easier.Viana stood outside the infirmary, her hands folded tightly across her chest as she watched one of the younger wolves help an elderly woman down the wooden steps. The woman walked slowly, but she walked on her own. Three days ago, she could barely move or even lift her head.Now she was complaining about the weather.The sickness affected every age. Young and old.“She threatened to hit me with her cane.”Fadrian’s voice came from behind her carrying that familiar dry amusement.Viana turne

Chapter 66—-The taste of something wrong

Alpha Bladen POV The knock came before the words.Sharp. Controlled. Not urgent enough to panic but not relaxed either.That was how I knew it was not ordinary.“Come in.”The door opened slowly.A healer stepped inside, hesitating just enough to show uncertainty. Behind him stood a guard from the infirmary rotation. His posture was straight, but his eyes weren’t.Something had happened.Something he wasn’t sure to say.“Alpha,” he said, lowering his head slightly.I didn’t respond immediately.He cleared his throat and continued speaking.“It’s one of the recovered wolves,” he said.That was enough to shift the air in the room.“He said he remembers something. From before the sickness took hold of him.”“They all remember something,” I said flatly.“This one is different,” he replied quickly.Recovered memory after sickness was never clean. It came broken. Misplaced. Sometimes real. Sometimes the body is pretending to make sense of confusion.“Send for Luna, Beta and Delta.”He blin

Chapter 67—-Beneath ordinary things

Viana's POV The first complaint of the morning came before I even finished my tea.By the time I reached the council hall, the sun had only just begun to rise over Bloodmoon.Morning light stretched across the village in slow gold, touching rooftops, training grounds, and the thin smoke rising from the windows of houses. Wolves were already wake, some beginning patrol, others carrying buckets, others pretending they had not been awake arguing since dawn.After days of sickness and restless nights, the village is gradually getting its color back. Healers were not running themselves into the ground. Children had returned to making too much noise. Hunters were complaining about the weather instead of poisoned wolves.I preferred complaints. It meant survival.I stepped into the council hall and was greeted by silence, which I appreciated more than I should have.For exactly thirty seconds, the doors opened.The first to enter was one of the older women from the western homes, her face c

Chapter 68—Hunger games

Mia's POV My exams were starting today and I was anxious.I had been awake long before the sun.Sleep had come in pieces—restless and shallow, broken by too many thoughts I could not silence. Everytime I had closed my eyes, my mind found its way back to the prison, to the empty answer, to the man who had somehow disappeared before I could reach him and return what he gave me.Even now, sitting at the edge of my bed with my school uniform neatly laid beside me, it felt like that unfinished question was sitting with me in my room.I rubbed my hands over my face and let out a slow breath.Today was supposed to be simple.Go to school, write my exam and come back.A normal day, something I had been preparing for. Something that belonged to the life I was meant to have. And not hidden men, or weird dreams that I do not have meaning to, or the strange silence and the fear that always followed me.I picked my uniform and put it on. Tie my hair back, put my note book in my bag and my pen.Ev

Chapter 69—The wrong team

Mia’s pov The final bell for the day felt like freedom.Not complete freedom—-because exams still exist, cruel and waiting for tomorrow. But it was enough freedom to breathe again.“I have seen the future,” Brin announced to no one in particular. “And in the future, I’m repeating this course.”Liora was still flipping through her notes to check if the answers she wrote were corresponding with the ones she had written down, like she could somehow rewrite the exams she had already submitted.“Please stop speaking negativity into the universe.”“I’m not speaking negatively. I am just preparing myself emotionally.”I laughed softly as I stood.“We all survived. And that is enough for today.”“Did we?” Brin asked, lifting her head just enough to look offended. “Did we really?”“No, we didn’t,” Liora said flatly. “But we are pretending.”“That,” Brin said pointing at her, “is friendship.”The three of us walked out of the classroom together, joining the flood of students spilling into the

Chapter 70—Not a no

Mia’s POV I was nervous at this point because I was not one to tell someone how I felt. I always kept it inside and moved on. But this time I had to say something. Keeping quiet was not going to change anything.The evening frost is strangely calm.Not quiet—because nothing around the estate was truly quiet, but it was softer somehow. The kind of evening when the sun was finally losing its fight with the day, where the heat settled and people moved slower, like everyone had silently agreed to breathe for a moment.A woman crossed the street while arguing with a fruit seller like it was a personal battle of pride.Loren had been standing outside when I got home, leaning by the gate like he had nowhere urgent to be, and after he asked how the exam went and me giving him a long speech about it and the tournament, my throat was already dry.We laughed for some minutes and stayed silent also for slime minutes before decided for break the silence.“You said you wanted to talk to me.”“You
