Chapter Fifty-one

Kael’s POV.Ten years ago.I was seventeen when Caleb convinced me to go hunting with him beyond the eastern border. Looking back, I should have known that any hunt involving Caleb would end with us doing something neither of us was supposed to be doing.“You're too slow,” he called from ahead.I pushed through a branch and found him standing beside a tree, waiting for me. “You've been complaining about my speed for the last hour Caleb.”“Because you're slow.” He countered. “Then why did you stop?” “I was waiting for you, I don’t want you getting lost.”“You could've kept walking.”“And miss the chance to watch you struggle? Never.”I shook my head and continued along the trail. We had been following a buck since sunrise. Caleb had spotted its tracks first, but I had been the one keeping us on the trail. He hated admitting that, especially when we were younger.He was already talking about something else by the time I caught up with him. “Mara was asking about you yesterday.”I glan

Chapter Fifty-two

Kael’s POV "Caleb!" I pushed myself onto one knee, but he didn't turn around. I watched him disappear between the trees.For several seconds, I couldn't move. Then the pain came. It started in my chest and tore through my arms, neck, and stomach. My fingers curled into the soil as another wave hit. I tried to shift, but my wolf fought back. Calling on him only made the agony worse, ripping a scream from my throat.Every time I tried to move my body, the pain only seemed worse. My body no longer felt like mine. My senses became hyperactive, picking up things miles away, the damp soil beneath the snow, and the blood rushing through a rabbit...Then I caught Caleb's scent. Maybe he had changed his mind. So I turned toward the path he had taken, waiting for him to come back. He didn't.My legs gave out when I tried to stand. I crawled toward the stone and stared at the orb. I reached for it, but stopped inches from the surface as an instinct warned me to back away.Dragging myself backw

Chapter Fifty-three

Kael’s POV It took us two days to find our way back to the pack. I had hunted for food and kept us safe in a tiny cave while she kept preparing the herbs that helped suppress my curse. By the time the posts of the pack territory came into view, we were both running on empty, Kiara had healed pretty fast. But she was still weak. When we reached the gate. I sucked in a deep breath and ordered her to stay behind me. "Stay behind me."It was unusual for the pack’s gate to be open and unguarded. The first quarters was completely silent. The second had its door kicked off the hinges. Blood was smeared across the dirt pathway.A woman stepped out from behind a woodpile, stopping dead when she saw me. "Kael!"Shouts rang out, and people came spilling onto the path. Some stared as if looking at a ghost.An older warrior named Torin grabbed my shoulder. "Is it really you? We thought you were dead.""Who told you that?"Torin's grip loosened. "Caleb. He came back without you. He said you wer

Chapter Fifty-four

Ayla’s POVTatiana and I had gone through the area we were in charge of. We hadn’t found anybody or anything, just emptied quarters. We decided to go into the forest to expand our search. Stopping at the entrance into the forest surrounding the wolf fangs pack. I wiped sweat from my brow. “I think we should split here. We’d cover more grounds better."“No.” Tatiana replied sternly. “Why?” I frowned. “It’s too dangerous. We don’t know what’s out there and I know you Ayla.” She shook her head. “You can be pretty reckless.” “No I’m not.” I countered. “Okay, I’ll let you go only if you’d be careful.” "I always am," I said, adjusting the grip on my blade."I mean it, Ayla. Don't get reckless.."I offered a small, crooked smile. "Relax. I won’t get into trouble.""That's debatable," Tatiana muttered, though her eyes softened. "An hour. Meet back at this spot and if anything, you mind link me immediately.""Sure. I will."She turned left, vanishing into the brush. I took a deep breath,

Chapter Fifty-five

Kael’s POV “Your life.”The words hung in the stale, blood drenched air. Caleb smiled widely, his lips curling with an unusual confidence. He must have grown it all these years before attacking my pack. I know Caleb expects me to snap, he expects the furious, blind rage that had earned me the ruthless wolf name back then. My wolf, Agnar, clawed in my chest, begging me to change so he could tear each and every one of them’s throat out. But I forced him to remain calm, there was a lot at stake. Ayla. Riian and my warriors. I couldn’t move yet, I needed a quick plan. But watching Ayla’s limp body sagging against Jax’s chest with a silver blade pressed tight enough against her throat kept disorientating me. “I want back everything you took from me!” Caleb yelled. “You talk a lot for a wolf with one foot in the grave, Caleb,” I said, while trying to mindlink any of my warriors around. Nothing. I tried not to glance at Ayla, refusing to give him the satisfaction of seeing my panic. “

Chapter Fifty-six

Kael’s POV I didn't chase after Caleb yet. The immediate threat was gone, and nothing in this forest mattered more than the body lying motionless on the ground.I moved swiftly and caught Ayla just as her knees gave out completely. I pulled her against my chest, sliding one hand behind her neck, my thumb stroking over the warm, soft skin of her cheek.“I’m here,” I breathed, my voice rough, and trembling. “I’ve got you. You’re safe.”She gasped, her chest heaving against my body as she slowly regained consciousness. Her fingers clawed weakly at my cloth,“Kael...” she choked out, her voice barely a whisper against my neck. “Riian... he’s... he’s alive. Nearby. In the bush...”I knew Riian wasn’t dead, but hearing the confirmation from Ayla gave me more relief. As I lifted Ayla into my arms, Tatiana sprang out of the tree lines, breathing profusely. “I’m so sorry, Alpha…”“Save that for later,” I muttered, before pointing towards the direction of Riian’s scent. “We need to find Rii

Chapter Fifty-Seven

Kael’s POV The blade came down but I pushed my head sideways, making him stick it into the dirt. Caleb lifted the blade from the ground but it was stuck, though my senses were completely overwhelmed, with the curse warping my vision and movement, I managed to jab him in his injured ribs, a sharp cry tore out of him as he scrambled away from me. I closed my eyes for a brief second, trying hard to control my body. I shouldn’t have. Searing pain radiated through my shoulder, I opened my eyes to find his silver dagger biting into my shoulder, and the smell of my own burning flesh filling the air. The fight was ugly. Feral. It went on for several more minutes.Agnar screamed at me to yield, to give up total control, to let the monster out to rip Caleb into pieces.If you give in now, a cold voice whispered in the back of my mind, you will not only kill him. But you will never come back. You will tear Ayla apart when you return also.Caleb lunged again, driving for my throat.I didn't un

Chapter Fifty-eight

Ayla’s POV A week had passed since Wolf Fang's attack and Caleb’s death. Things were much better every new day. The Pack could finally breathe.The injured warriors no longer had their bandages on, their wolves were healed now. The pack house hummed once more with the nice sounds of daily life—breakfast plates, laughter, and the bustling rhythm of a territory no longer under immediate threat.Young pups were chasing each other around the wooden benches while the elders sat in the morning sun, discussing matters as usual. As I passed, I did a small bow but they hardly acknowledged me. But with Caleb gone, Kael’s curse hadn't settled down with him. If anything, it had grown more volatile.In the quiet hours of the night, I watched how it clawed its way to his surface. Sometimes it was a sudden, unexplained burst of aggression over a minor disturbance. Sometimes his claws would unsheathe involuntarily, slicing through the bedsheets before he could contain it. More than once, I caught t

Chapter Fifty-Nine

Ayla’s POV In a brief second, the warmth in the air was gone.Riian’s smile had completely vanished. His eyes hardened as he tilted his chin slightly, sniffing the air. I dropped my hand to the dagger at my waist, my senses snapping into high alert.“Anything?” I asked, whispering.“Nothing. There's no scent at all. It's masked."We stood frozen in the woods. listening back to back. The wind rustled through the canopy. A distant bird called out. Seconds ticked by, stretching into a minute of silence.But nothing moved. No further sound echoed.Eventually, Riian let out a slow, cautious breath, easing out of his stance, though his hand remained near his hip."Could have been a deer," he said, though his voice lacked conviction. "Yeah," I murmured quietly, letting my hand fall away from my blade. "Maybe.""Let's get these herbs back," Riian said, slinging his bag tighter against his chest. "Before Kiara decides to come look for us herself."“You’re right.” I pointed. After gathering
