CHAPTER 241

“Jason! Jasmine!! Both of you should hold each other’s hand immediately!”The command cut through the roaring battlefield like a bolt of lightning. Two voices boomed from the far edge of the tree line. It was Mom and Dad.They’re alive!We didn’t hesitate. We didn’t look back—not even for a second.I lunged to the side and grabbed Jasmine’s hand, holding it tightly as our fingers locked together.The moment our hands met, something shifted.I squeezed my eyes shut and I blocked out the screams, the running footsteps, and Lucious’s charging army.Everything disappeared, all I could feel was the pounding of my heart.I sank deep into my mind, reaching for something buried inside me.Something powerful.I pushed harder, drawing on everything Mom and Grandma had ever taught us.And for the first time I didn’t fight the power inside me. I let it rise.Let it manifest, I prayed. Now!A blinding surge of energy exploded inside me.It wasn’t just strong—it felt alive. When my eyes snapped ope

CHAPTER 242

“No!” Gab choked out, his voice hoarse as the silver blade dug deeper into his neck. “Don’t listen to him!”Fresh blood trickled down from the cut, but he didn’t stop struggling.“I’d rather die here, than let that monster live to hurt anyone else!”Tears filled his eyes, mixing with the dirt and blood on his face.Even with death staring him in the face he refused to surrender.“Let him go!” Mom cried, her voice breaking with fear. “Take the dagger away from his neck, and we’ll let you leave here alive!”The fierce warrior in her disappeared. All that remained was a mother trying to save her son.She raised both hands and stepped in front of the Moon Pack warriors, stopping them from moving any closer.Her eyes never left Gab.“Please…” she whispered. “Don’t hurt him.”“Mom, don’t do this!” Gab cried out, his voice breaking as a fresh torrent of blood poured from the deep gash in his leg. “If you save me and let him escape, I promise you I will never forgive myself! I will end up kil

CHAPTER 243

~ Doris ~So this is it. After eighteen long years, Lucious is finally going to pay for taking Gab away from us.Today, justice is finally being served for everything that monster did to me, to Blade, and to every woman who was made to hate herself because of his cruelty—just like Sandra.The weight of the past crashed over me, and tears streamed down my face as painful memories flooded my mind. I ran forward, channeling the power flowing through my veins until my hands glowed with a bright silver light. Mom ran beside me, her own hands shining with a golden glow. We looked at each other as we ran. In that silent moment, we both knew we shared the same unwavering purpose.The moment we reached Lucious, we attacked at the same time. I went for his right arm while Mom went for his left. We extended our claws and slashed down with all our strength.The attack was clean. Both of Lucious’s arms were cut off, hitting the blood-soaked ground with a heavy thud.“No! You can’t kill me! I ha

CHAPTER 244

THE CRESCENT BROTHERHOOD PARTY~ Doris ~I stood quietly at the edge of the ballroom, gently swirling the wine in my glass as I watched the lively crowd. The grand hall was packed with people, music, and laughter. The mood was filled with celebration. Roman had finally fought back, reclaimed his territory, and officially rejoined the Brotherhood.As I looked across the rows of tables, I saw the leaders of every pack gathered in one room. The Alpha of the Rain Pack sat comfortably with his family at their table. Nearby, the Alpha of the Cloud Pack laughed with the members of her pack. Then there was Roman, the Alpha of the Sun Pack, sitting proudly beside his wife and young son with his head held high. He looked like a completely different man. Beside him sat the Alpha of the Thunder Pack—my own brother. I had missed him so much, and seeing him finally take his rightful place filled me with pride. And finally, there was the table of the Alpha of the Moon Pack.But as I looked towa

CHAPTER 245

~ Jason ~A few months passed like a beautiful dream.The darkness that had once surrounded our lives was finally gone, and the Moon Pack was stronger than ever.Peace had returned.We had all graduated from high school and were now getting ready for the next chapter of our lives—college.As for me, I couldn’t wait to finish college as fast as possible.Not because I hated school. But because I wanted to marry Kiara.Even though the Moon Goddess had already blessed us as true mates, I still dreamed of giving her the grand wedding she deserved.The best part was that we had both been accepted into the same university.That meant I wouldn’t have to spend a single day away from my mate.Marcus and Jasmine had also been blessed by the Moon Goddess as true mates, and seeing the two of them together made our little family feel even more complete.“Jason, what exactly are you daydreaming about that's keeping you from touching your food?” Grandma’s voice broke through my thoughts.I blinked,
