ELIAS’S POV “Forbidden life exchange ritual?” I repeated. “What’s that?”“It is a ritual that the Apex Omegas used to perform centuries ago to bring dead people back to life,” she began. “But the condition is that the deceased would have to trade something important for their life back, and the performing of the ritual would be the one to choose.“But later, they began to use it in the wrong way by killing people intentionally, bringing them back by making them lose something very important to them,” she continued. “Some lost their wolf, their strength, beauty, sight, fertility, and many other things which didn't make life worth living for them.”"That's cruel,” Gabriella commented.“Yes, it was indeed cruel. That's why the leader of the werewolf community banned it, and any Apex Omegas caught using it were immediately executed.” “Then how did Felix know about it if it was banned?” I asked.“Our mothers were versed in all that history, so they told us the story like it was just a

ELIAS’S POVThe journey back to Silverhaven felt longer than it actually was. Rowan was still unconscious beside me but his wrists bound with reinforced chains meant to suppress even an Alpha-level Apex Omega.I couldn't look away from him for a second. Seeing him peaceful like that made it feels like my Rowan was finally back but my heart broke knowing that he would be totally different once he regained his consciousness.Halfway through our journey, he shifted in his seat and he slowly opened his eyes. He carefully looked around and when his eyes landed on me, he lost it.“Who are you and where are you taking me?” He shouted as he began to struggle with the chains.“Rowan, calm down.”“Stop calling me that. I'm Trex.” His eyes instantly turned red and I felt the anger radiating off him. “Where is my father? What did you do to him?”“He is not your father and your name is not Trex,” I shouted back at him but he only made him more angry.He kept trying to break the chain and was hurti

ELIAS’S POVI didn't like this idea one bit. Every instinct in me screamed that this was a mistake. But the idea of Rowan seeing me as an enemy kept pushing me forward.Felix stood beside me, unchained for the first time since we brought him in. Two warriors followed closely behind, tense, ready to strike at the slightest wrong move.He had insisted that he talk to Rowan and explain the truth to him. He claimed that he wanted to do one good deed before he died.As much as I wanted to reject the idea, I had no choice because he was the only one Rowan trusted right now.“Don’t make me regret this,” I said quietly.Felix didn’t look at me. His gaze stayed ahead. “I won’t.”I wasn’t sure if I believed him. But I didn’t have the luxury of doubt anymore. It was the only choice I had.The moment we reached Rowan’s chamber, the tension hit me like a wall. The door was slightly open, and I could hear the clatter of a tray hitting the floor.“I said I don’t want anything!” Rowan’s voice roared

ELIAS’S POVI inhaled deeply before finally pushing the door open and stepping inside.Rowan sat on the edge of the bed with his wrists still restrained by the silver-lined chains. His head was slightly lowered, his dirty blond hair falling over his forehead as though he was lost in thought.He slowly looked up when he sensed me entering and our eyes met.There was no hatred in his eyes this time. It was filled with confusion and curiosity.I quietly shut the door behind me before speaking. “If the chains are making you uncomfortable,” I started carefully, “I can take them off.”His gaze flickered toward the restraints before returning to me. “You trust me that much?” he asked quietly.The question caught me off guard because the truth was I actually did trust him. I was more uncomfortable seeing him being chained like a beast.“Will you attack me if I do?” I asked instead.He stared at me for a long moment before slowly shaking his head. “No.”Something about the way he answered made

GABRIELLA’S POVThe ride to Nightbourne Pack felt endless.Even after crossing into the pack borders and seeing the familiar gates, the uneasiness in my chest refused to settle.‘Gabriel tried to commit suicide.’The words kept repeating in my head over and over again like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from.My brother wasn’t weak. He was stubborn, proud and reckless sometimes.For him to even think about suicide, something terrible must have happened.The moment the car stopped in front of the Alpha mansion, I pushed the door open before the driver could even come around.The guards bowed immediately. “Alpha Gabriella.”I ignored them and rushed inside. The uneasy feeling continued as the mansion was unusually quiet. The staff were moving around quietly and talking in a hush tone as tension hung heavily in the air.I climbed the stairs quickly and headed straight toward Gabriel’s room.The door was slightly open and the moment I stepped inside, my heart dropped.Gabriel sat on the
