Chapter 131: Graves and RefusalsANYA’S POVI knelt on the cold chamber floor with Damien’s head resting in my lap. His skin felt like ice under my trembling fingers. No breath moved his chest. No familiar heartbeat answered my touch. The red moon had set hours ago, yet its curse still lingered in the black veins crawling across his neck and chest. Rowan’s body lay prepared in the next room, wrapped and ready for the journey back to Crescent Moon territory. I rocked slowly back and forth and kept whispering Damien’s name, begging him to open his eyes.The lead Shadow Clan elder entered with two others close behind. They carried glowing crystals and heavy ancient scrolls that smelled of old blood and incense. The elder stopped a respectful distance away and spoke in a calm, measured voice. “The veil between worlds grows thin after nights like this. We can perform the old rites to try pulling him back. Such things have succeeded before.”I surged to my feet, fury cutting through my grie

Chapter 133: New Life in the Ruins ANYA’S POVI woke to soft light filtering through heavy curtains and the familiar weight of Damien’s blanket across my legs. My head throbbed. My mouth felt dry as sand. I blinked slowly, trying to remember how I ended up back in our bed. The last clear memory was the elders’ voices rising in the great hall, their accusations cutting deep, then the floor rushing up to meet me. How long had I been out? Hours? Days? I pushed myself up on shaky elbows and looked around. Iris sat in the chair beside the bed with a book in her lap. Gavin stood by the window, his arms crossed, staring out at the training fields. A healer I recognized from the pack infirmary mixed herbs in a small bowl near the table. They all turned toward me at once. “What happened?” I asked, my voice hoarse. “Why am I here? How long was I out?”Iris set her book down and moved closer. She took my hand gently. “Calm down, Anya. You passed out during the meeting with the elders. You hav

Chapter 135: Whispers to the Moon ANYA’S POVI sat alone in the center of our massive bed, my back pressed against the carved wooden headboard, with Damien’s favorite black shirt draped loosely over my lap. The room lay wrapped in deep, velvet night, illuminated only by a single candle flickering on the bedside table. Its weak flame cast long, trembling shadows across the walls, making the space feel both too large and painfully empty. My hands trembled as I pressed them gently against my still-flat stomach. The healer’s words continued to echo in my mind like a distant bell: Five weeks. A pup. Damien’s pup. I traced slow, protective circles over the skin beneath my nightgown, as if I could somehow reach the tiny spark of life growing inside me. Fresh tears slipped silently down my cheeks, warm against my cool skin. “You are in here, little one,” I whispered, my voice cracking in the suffocating quiet. “Your father should be here with us right now. He should know he is going to b

Chapter 137: Fractured DawnANYA’S POVI lay curled in the center of the bed with Damien’s shirt clutched against my chest, but sleep refused to claim me. Every creak in the hallway made my muscles tense. Every shift of wind outside the window sent my heart racing. I kept seeing that empty corridor, feeling that cold draft carry the ghost of a familiar scent across my skin. By the time faint gray light filtered through the curtains, exhaustion weighed on my bones like wet stone. I had decided during those long dark hours. Today I would go to the Shadow Clan. I needed to see Damien’s body with my own eyes. Only then could I face whatever came next.Morning arrived too soon. I stayed buried under the blankets, limbs heavy and sore from hours of tossing. My eyes burned. My back ached. Getting up felt impossible until a wave of nausea slammed into me without warning. Bile rose sharp and bitter in my throat. I jerked upright, swung my legs over the edge, and bolted for the bathroom. My ba

Chapter 139: Hollow Stone ANYA’S POV The familiar cluster of white stone cottages nestled among ancient oaks sent a wave of warmth through my chest despite the exhaustion clinging to my limbs. My stomach had settled only slightly after the herbs I forced down at dawn, but every bump in the road reminded me how fragile I felt.The children spotted us first. They dropped their baskets of wildflowers and ran toward the path with bright cries. “Anya! Lady Anya has returned!” I pushed open the car door before the vehicle fully stopped. My boots hit the soft grass and three little girls crashed into my legs with giggles. I laughed softly and knelt to hug them, their small arms tight around my neck. The scent of lavender and fresh bread wrapped around me as more villagers poured out from their homes. Smiles lit every face. Hands reached out to touch my shoulders and arms in welcome. An older woman named Mira pushed through the crowd and pulled me into a fierce embrace. Her silver hair sm
