Chapter 21

Rhea's POVThe Grey Borderlands. A place forgotten by the Goddess.I was hiding in a run-down motel, the building itself on the verge of collapse."Ugh..."A sharp pain shot through me. I curled up on the moldy mattress, a cold sweat drenching my clothes.The little life inside me was draining what little strength I had left."This pup is dangerous," my wolf whimpered in pain.The tips of my fingers were turning dark."Easy now, little one..."I whispered, my trembling hand caressing my still-flat stomach. A soft smile touched my lips. "Mommy will give you her life... just as long as you can live."Even if it was just to escape Aiden, I had to survive.Just then, heavy footsteps echoed outside the door. Not the motel owner. This was... a pack.The flimsy wooden door was kicked open.A damp, cold wind blew in, carrying the thick, bloody scent of an Alpha.I struggled to reach for the dagger under my pillow, but a combat boot slammed down on my wrist first."Well, well." Damien's voice w

Chapter 22

Rhea's POVMy words hit Aiden like a physical blow.His face went white, but the fire in his eyes burned even hotter."Kill our pup?" he roared, the question laced with raw disbelief and pain. "That was to save you!""Save me?" My heart felt like it was being ripped apart. "By killing our pup?"Aiden started toward me, but I stopped him by raising my dagger."Don't come any closer," I said, my voice trembling. "I don't want to hear any more of your explanations.""Rhea...""Enough!"In that tense moment, Damien laughed."What a touching reunion," he said with a smirk. "But it looks like the lady doesn't want to go back with you."Aiden whipped his head toward him, murder in his eyes."She's mine.""Yours?" Damien raised an eyebrow. "She seems to prefer my arms right now.""Get out of my way," Aiden growled, stalking forward. "Or I won't mind finishing you right here.""Are you threatening me?" Damien straightened up.I could feel the tension in the air about to explode.If these two Al

Chapter 23

Rhea's POVWhen I woke up again, it was dusk the next day.Warm sunlight streamed through the window, casting dappled shadows on my face.I shifted, realizing the pain in my stomach had eased."You're awake."Aiden's voice came from beside me, heavy with exhaustion.I turned to look at him and gasped.His face was pale as a sheet, his eyes were sunken, and his lips were colorless. He looked like he had been through a long illness."What... what happened to you?" I couldn't help but ask."It's nothing." He forced a weak smile. "How are you feeling?"I tried to sit up. My body was still weak, but much better than yesterday."The baby?" I asked nervously."Safe," Aiden answered immediately. "The healer said there's no immediate danger."I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding, but then a new worry surfaced."You look terrible... did you...""I said I'm fine." He cut me off, but the weakness in his voice betrayed him.I suddenly remembered the feeling from last night, just before

Chapter 24

Rhea's POVI just stared at Aiden.Rebirth?From the future?It sounded like a ridiculous fairy tale.But he said it with such sincerity, such pain.And..."The names," I whispered, my voice trembling. "How do you know the names I whisper in my nightmares?""Marcus. Vincent. Kane," he recited them like a death sentence. "You say 'I'm sorry' until your voice is raw. Because they were good men. And I made you kill them."My blood ran cold."And your hands and feet are always cold," he continued. "The smell of blood makes you sick. You need a long time to recover after every battle. I used to laugh at you for it, saying you were a fragile warrior."Every single detail was correct."You love to sit by the window and watch the rain," his voice softened. "You would brew a special tea for me in my study. It wasn't just tea. It was a potion you made using your own life force.""Stop..." my voice trembled.Tears started to well up.These things... no one else knew these things."If this is all

Chapter 25

Aiden's POVThere was blood everywhere.Gianna was even more vicious than I'd imagined.She hadn't just allied with Red Fang traitors; she had used forbidden drugs, turning her warriors into a mindless horde that felt no pain."Aiden! Surrender!"Gianna's laughter echoed, amplified by a megaphone."That bitch is already a cripple! If you give me your pack and everything you own, I might consider leaving you a complete corpse!""In your dreams."I spat out a mouthful of blood and swung my blade, cutting down another one of her warriors.Without my wolf's power, this level of fighting was draining me fast. My stamina was plummeting.Just then, a pickup truck smashed through the line of warriors.It was Rhea!"WHO TOLD YOU TO COME HERE?!"My heart stopped.Rhea ignored my roar.She drove with one hand, the other holding the gun I'd given her, taking out enemies near me with precise shots."Less talk! Get in!" Her face was pale, but her eyes were sharp as an eagle's.But her appearance sen

Chapter 26

Rhea's POV"Impossible..." Gianna's eyes were wide with disbelief. "Your wolf was sealed...""Not anymore," Aiden's voice was low and dangerous.He was completely different now.The powerful Alpha aura radiating from him made everyone in the hall tremble."And now..." he said, stalking toward Gianna, "it's time to settle our accounts."Aiden moved with blinding speed.His awakened wolf had made him ten times stronger.He tore through the remaining enemies with ease. No one could stop him."Retreat! Retreat!" the leader of the traitors screamed.But it was too late.Aiden cut down every last person who had dared to hurt me."No... no..." Gianna's face was bloodless. She turned and ran.But I couldn't let her escape.My body was weak, but my warrior instincts were still sharp.My fingers closed around the hilt of a discarded silver throwing knife. With the last of my strength, I took aim and threw. The blade spun through the air, sinking deep into Gianna's knee with a sickening thud.She

Chapter 27

Rhea's POVI looked into the deep love in Aiden's eyes, and all my doubts vanished.The bond didn't lie.Through this invisible connection, I could feel his pure, undiluted love for me.No schemes, no manipulation. Just love."I believe you," I whispered. "I finally believe you."A flash of pure joy lit up his eyes.But a moment later, a sharp pain shot through my stomach."Ah—"I doubled over, groaning in agony.The fight, the injuries... it was all too much for my fragile body."Rhea!" Aiden caught me, his face a mask of panic. "What's wrong?"Through the bond, he felt my pain as if it were his own.It was like someone was tearing his soul apart."The baby..." I trembled. "I think something's wrong with the baby..."Aiden's face went white."Healer! Get a healer now!" he roared at the people around us.Damien, though injured himself, immediately had his medical staff rush over.I was carried to a makeshift medical tent.Machines were hooked up to me, beeping frantically.Aiden could

Chapter 28

Rhea's POVThe ritual began.I felt a warm, powerful energy flowing from Aiden into me.It was his life force, his newly awakened, powerful wolf.Through our bond, our lives merged completely in that moment.I could feel his pain. Every bit of energy he gave me felt like his soul was being torn apart.But he didn't stop. He didn't hesitate."Aiden... that's enough... please, no more..." I said weakly."It's not enough," he gritted out. "Not yet."The flow of energy grew stronger.I could feel the baby inside me greedily absorbing it.But at the same time, I could feel Aiden weakening.His face grew paler, his breathing more ragged."Stop!" I tried to pull away from the machine. "You're going to die!""I won't die," his voice was faint but firm. "We are fated mates."Then, the impossible happened. The one-way torrent of power didn't just stop; it became a current. Energy flowed from him to me, and then from me... back to him, creating a perfect, self-sustaining circuit between us and ou

Chapter 29

Rhea's POVA week later, when we returned to the Silver Moon Pack headquarters, the entire pack was waiting for us.Elders, warriors, pack members... everyone was gathered in the main hall.The moment Aiden and I walked in, hand in hand, the crowd fell silent.Aiden stood on the main platform, his voice ringing out. "I have an important announcement."I stood beside him, feeling the curious gazes of our people."First, regarding the Gianna incident," Aiden presented the evidence. "She conspired with our enemies and attempted to murder a warrior of our pack. She has received the punishment she deserved.""Second..." He turned to me, his eyes full of love. "From this day forward, Rhea is not just your General. She is my mate. And she is your one, true Luna."A roar went through the crowd."What? General Rhea is the Alpha's mate?""But before...""Wasn't the Alpha going to marry Gianna?""Quiet!" Aiden's authority silenced them.He looked at the elders. "Does anyone object?"Elder Elias w

Chapter 30

Rhea's POVSix months later, the silent, sterile penthouse at the top of the Alpha's tower was a distant memory. Now, it was filled with life—and the loud, demanding cries of our pup.I lay exhausted in bed, watching the healer carefully hold two tiny bundles.Twins.A boy and a girl."Congratulations, Luna. Mother and pup are all safe and sound," the healer said with a smile. "Both are very healthy."Aiden stood by the bed, his eyes glistening with tears.He carefully took our daughter, and the little one immediately quieted down."She's so small..." his voice trembled. "So beautiful...""She takes after me," I said with a weak smile."Yes, she does," he said, looking at me tenderly. "Our little princess."Our son slept peacefully in my arms, his tiny hand gripping my finger.Through the bond, I could feel the healthy, powerful life force of both our pup."What are their names?" I asked.Aiden thought for a moment. "The boy will be Kai, and the girl will be Luna.""Luna?" I raised an
