I thought it was over. I truly thought it was over. When the darkness left Jason’s body and he collapsed into my arms, I believed I had saved him. I believed love was enough. I was wrong. He was lying against me, breathing hard, his body weak. I held him close. “I’ve got you,” I whispered. His fingers twitched. His eyes were closed. The forest was quiet again. Too quiet. Then suddenly— His body went stiff. Very stiff. Like something had grabbed him from inside. I felt it before I saw it. Cold. Not outside. Inside him. “Jason?” I whispered. His eyes snapped open. Black. Not flickering. Not fighting. Fully black. My heart stopped. “Jason…” He did not answer. He did not blink. He did not breathe the same. His lips curled slowly into something that was not his smile. And then he pushed me away. Hard. I fell back on the ground. Pain shot through my shoulder. He stood up slowly. But this time— He was not fighting

Chapter — You Don’t Run From Fate Aria POV “Ivar…” My voice came out soft. Barely there. The moment the word left my mouth, I turned my head quickly. Our lips missed each other by a breath. Silence fell between us. Heavy. Awkward. Too close. My heart was beating too fast. Too loud. The drink was still warm in my head, making everything feel slow and blurry. I swallowed hard and took a small step back. “I… Ivar…” I said again, this time clearer. His hand slowly dropped from the back of my neck. Like he already understood. Like he was giving me space before I even asked. “I’m sorry,” I whispered. I wrapped my arms around myself, suddenly aware of how close we had been. Too close. My chest tightened. “I shouldn’t have let it get that far.” Ivar let out a slow breath. His expression softened, but something flickered in his eyes. Something he quickly hid. “Hey,” he said gently. “You didn’t do anything wrong.” But I shook my head. “N

“Sister??” The word did not make sense. It hung in the air between us like something heavy and wrong. My chest rose and fell fast as I stared at the man standing in front of me. He was tall. Too calm. Too confident. Like he already knew how this would end. “No,” I said quickly, shaking my head. “You are mistaken. I’ve never seen you before.” My voice sounded steady. Inside, my wolf was not steady at all. She was pacing. Restless. Uneasy. The man’s lips curved slowly, like my denial amused him. “I know,” he said in a deep, smooth voice. “But you’ve seen me now.” A cold feeling slid down my spine. He took one slow step closer. “My name is Donald,” he continued. “Get used to that.” My eyes narrowed immediately. Get used to that? The boldness. “I’m not getting used to anything,” I snapped. “Because I’m not doing anything with you.” For a brief second, something dark flickered in his eyes. “You don’t have a choice,” he said quietly. That was enough. My patience broke

Aria sat stiff in the tall chair, her back straight, her eyes cold. Donald stood at the long table, calm like always, like nothing in the world could shake him. The room was quiet except for the soft crackle of the fire burning in the large stone fireplace. “Let’s eat, sister,” Donald said smoothly, pulling out a chair like he was inviting a guest to dinner. Aria’s eyes narrowed. “I’m not your sister.” Her voice was sharp. Hard. Donald paused for a second, then slowly smiled, like her words did not touch him at all. “You’ve really grown,” he said softly. “The last time I saw you, you were just a baby.” Aria folded her arms. “Good for you,” she said flatly. “Now open the door and let me go.” Donald ignored that. “I’ve missed you,” he continued, his voice almost gentle. Aria let out a short, dry laugh. “Well, I haven’t missed you. Because I don’t know you.” She leaned forward slightly, her eyes burning with anger. “And let me make this clear,” she added. “I

ARIA The moment the soldier disappeared through the tall doors, the air in the throne hall changed. It became… heavier. Like the castle itself was holding its breath. My father slowly turned his gaze back to me, but I was no longer fully focused on him. My ears strained, trying to catch any sound from outside. Boom. There it was again. Closer. My heart skipped. Something was happening. Something big. “You are distracted,” my father said calmly. I snapped my eyes back to him. “I’m not,” I lied quickly. His lips curved slightly, like he could see straight through me. “You always were a terrible liar, Aria.” The way he said my name made something twist painfully inside my chest. For a second — just one second — I saw the father I used to know. The one who used to carry me on his shoulders. The one who used to laugh when I tripped over my own feet. But it vanished quickly. What stood in front of me now was not the same man. I swallowed hard. “You still haven’t explai
