Alle Kapitel von My Mate’s Shadow in My Bed: Kapitel 11 – Kapitel 20

In the third week after Lucia's "death," strange things began to happen in the Silver Moon pack.The first sign was the newborn pups.A litter of five was born, but four died at birth.The last one was weak and sickly, barely able to open its eyes."This isn't normal," the pack doctor reported anxiously. "The infant mortality rate has suddenly skyrocketed by a factor of ten."The second sign was the hunting party's repeated failures.Prey that used to take a day to catch now couldn't be found even after a week."The prey has vanished," the hunt master said, bewildered. "It's like some force drove them all away."The third sign was the weather.Three consecutive weeks of torrential rain, lightning, and unseasonal hailstorms.The silver mines flooded. The food stores rotted. A primal fear, a panic not seen in generations, sank its teeth into the pack."What is happening?""Is a rival pack cursing us?""Why is everything going wrong?"The elders called an emergency meeting.The ancient sh

Three days later, a private jet landed at Zurich Airport in Switzerland.Tristan and Ronan were carried off on stretchers.The long flight was torture for their dying bodies.Tristan had passed out twice on the plane, and Ronan had been running a low-grade fever.But their eyes still burned with a mad hope."Quick... take us to the Healers' Guild..." Tristan said weakly.The Swiss winter was bitterly cold, but the two Alphas couldn't feel it.They just wanted to see the woman who was supposed to be dead.The European Healers' Guild headquarters was an ancient, magnificent building.Its white marble walls looked solemn against the falling snow."I need to see Lucia Morrison!"Ronan struggled to his feet from his wheelchair, grabbing the arm of the receptionist."Please... please tell me where she is..."The receptionist was startled by their appearance.The two men were gaunt, their eyes feverish, radiating an aura of desperation."Sir, please calm down...""We came from North America!"

The alarms were quickly drowned out by a more terrifying sound."The barrier in the central quarantine zone has been breached!""The most critical patients are going crazy! They're attacking each other! They're breaking through the line!"It was the sound of the gates of hell opening.This wasn't a plague. It was a curse, a living entity of pure malevolence given form.If it broke out, the whole of Blackwater Town, and even the surrounding cities, would become a dead zone."Dammit!"Maxim cursed, his golden pupils narrowing into slits as a wave of immense Alpha pressure erupted from him."All guards, on my command! Hold the line! Don't let a single fly pass!"He turned to me, gripping my shoulders so tightly it hurt, his eyes fierce and terrifying."You. You will leave with the evacuation team, now! That's an order!""No!"I threw his hands off, my voice louder than his."That's the last line of defense! If it's a resentment outbreak, your claws and fangs will be useless! It'll just sp

With that, I turned to leave.But Ronan suddenly crawled forward and clung to my leg."Don't go! Please don't go!" he cried, his voice heart-wrenching. "Lucia!" Tristan stumbled over. "I know we hurt you! I know we don't deserve forgiveness!""We... we were blinded back then..." Tristan said, trembling. "We thought you really bullied Bella...""Blinded?" I sneered. "An Alpha who doesn't believe his own mate, but believes the lies of an outsider?""An Alpha who personally poisons his own child and now tells me he was blinded?"I walked toward them, each step carrying a suffocating pressure.The two men were collapsing to the floor."We... we'll pay any price..." Tristan choked out. "Even our lives..."Just then, footsteps approached from the other end of the hall.I turned to see a tall figure walking toward us.Golden eyes, a perfect profile, and that innate kingly aura.It was Maxim.He walked over, his face grim, and glanced at the two brothers kneeling on the floor."Are these the

Two soul-shattering screams tore through the other end of the hall.They were howls of absolute, bottomless despair.Tristan and Ronan’s bodies began to tremble violently, as if an invisible force was ripping them apart, shred by shred.The Moon Goddess's curse had fully erupted."No... no... it wasn't supposed to be like this..."Tristan crawled toward us with his last bit of strength, his fingers leaving bloody streaks on the floor.His wolf soul was being forcibly torn from him, a pain beyond any torture."Lucia... please... look back at us... just once..."But I didn't look back.I stood there calmly, letting Maxim place the crown of supreme power on my head."No! She was supposed to be our queen!" Ronan let out a final roar. "That was supposed to be our future!"He tried to stand, to rush over and stop it all.But his body no longer obeyed him.Black blood poured from his eyes, nose, and mouth—the sign of a completely shattered wolf soul."We were supposed to... have everything...
