Chapter 31

HelenaThe study room feels small as the sound of Aeron's footsteps fades down the corridor.The dull closes behind him with a soft thud, the sound echoing through the room. Helena stares at the doorknob for a long moment, her jaw tightening and fist clenching tight. She lets out the breath she didn't know she was holding before turning to the room.The entire place is covered in blood and a few soaked flesh lay around the place. Helena covers her mouth as she gags–the sight is too nasty to behold.For a long moment, they all stand there, speechless. They do not move from where they are and their faces squeeze with frowns as they try to process everything that just happened.Marcellus sighs, the sound breaking the veil of quietude that settled over the place. “This is… troubling,” he mutters, rubbing the bridge of his nose slowly.Helena walks over to the window overlooking the garden, the rings still in her hand. The gold suddenly feels heavier now than it did earlier–as if soaked by

Chapter 32

SeraI wipe the stray bead of tears that slides down my greasy cheek with the back of my hand. Without another word–without looking back–I turn and walk out of the dungeon.Aeron keeps on calling my name behind me, begging me to stop. I hear the soft thudding of his boots against the stone floor as he moves to follow me. But I don't stop.My body aches all over and my joints scream from the bruises the guards left earlier. I hold my throbbing wrist where something cracked when they twisted it as I just keep walking.“Sera," Aeron calls again as he rushes after me. “Sera, wait. Stop."I don't.The dungeon stairs feel longer than they did when the guards dragged me down. My legs tremble under me, threatening to give way with every step I climb. Still, I force myself to keep moving upward, ignoring my unsteady steps until I finally reach the courtyard outside.The smell of freshly cut grass and clean air hits my face, welcoming me. I embrace it, breathing in deeply until it clears out th

Chapter 33

SeraEverything happens quick and I am too shocked to react. The courtyard is empty and just me, Kellan and Aeron stand there. So no one is there to stop Kellan when he pounces on Aeron. I think Aeron is going to fight back, or at least defend himself, but he just stands there, taking every strike without flinching. What negins as a confrontation, soon changes into a bloodbath. “Kellan," I mutter weakly, my breath catching in my throat as my chest tightens. I try to move forward, to stop him but my legs refuse to obey me. I just stand there, watching Kellan rip through Aeron until I finally find my voice. "Kellan!” I scream. “Stop! Please, stop!" He doesn't hear me…Or he just refuses to. "You fucking lied to me!” he roars, his claws taking across Aeron's chest, exposing his ribcage. "You pretended to be my friend! You said you cared about her!”Every statement was punctuated with strikes that took out more and more of Aeron. He is healing well, but the blood pooling under him i

Chapter 34

AeronKellan's voice fades as they drag him away from where I am until the courtyard is quiet again. I stand there where they left me, my breathing a bit labored as my wolf tries to complete healing on my body. But it's weak and I'm left with a lot of cuts that refuse to close up. I grunt with pain, clutching the bleeding wounds as blood soaked my shredded clothes and reddened my bruised palm. I look down at my hands, noting the cuts on them. None is sustained from hitting him, but from catching myself when he slammed me into the ground. I flex my fingers and they crack painfully, once. Then I lift my head. Sera is already far across the field, walking down the path leading away from the courtyard to the main street. I want to call her and beg her to come back, but my words catch in my throat. What would be the point anyway? She already made it clear she doesn't want to hear anything from me. Slowly, with each step, her figure grows smaller until she finally leaves the gate. No

Chapter 35

AeronMarcellus' question hangs between us, his words pressing heavier than the heat swarming around us. I don't answer him immediately. Instead, I turn away from him, dragging my hand through my blood-matted hair. “I didn't have a choice," I mutter finally, the image of Sera walking away burning into my mind. "I couldn't–”"There's always a choice, Aeron,” Marcellus says, unconvinced. "But what I think your problem is is the fact that you don't consider the consequences that would arise from you being complacent.”“I'm not–” I stood myself from shouting. I take in a deep breath, lowering my voice as I turn back to face him fully now. "I'm not complacent, Marcellus. I know things went badly today but she made her decision and she walked away without a thought.”"She didn't just walk away,” he counters calmly. "You let her go." His tone isn't accusing and that only seems to make things worse. I clench my teeth, forcing the rage and guilt rising back down. Then something in me snaps.

Chapter 36

MarcellusI walk away from the training grounds without looking back, and turn toward the stone pathway leading back to the mansion. The chaos from everything has already begun to die down. The guards have resumed their posts, and the Omega Wolves have returned to their duties like nothing happened. The only testament from before is the faint scent of blood carried by the wind. I look over my shoulder as I walk and find Aeron still where I had left him. Good. He needs the time and space to think. Hands folded behind my back, I continue on down the path, my steps steady and unhurried. There is no need to rush anymore as all that is needed to be said has already been said. Still, it concerns me to see that the courtyard ahead is quieter than it should be for a day like this. I still recall how the feel of celebration still lingered in the air, days after Aeron's father's coronation. But for his son, instead, the entire place feels like it's been restrained. If only he followed m

Chapter 37

MarcellusThe door to the council chamber creaks open as the guards push them inward. I nod at them and walk into the already filled room. High-backed chairs line both sides of the long wooden table stretching across the center of the room, most of them occupied. The elders sit in their usual places, hands folded over the polished surface. The chandelier above cast a dull glow over their set faces as they exchanged quiet words among themselves in low voices. “Apologies for my lateness," I say with a sigh as I step inside. I clutch tightly the wrapped gift and sealed envelope as the doors closed behind me. “The morning traffic on the way here was not–" My words die in my throat as my gaze lands on the only she-wolf in the room. Helena.She is seated comfortably among the elders, her posture straight and her hands clasped neatly on the table as if she belongs there. Her expression, as she watches me, is calm… almost expectant. My brows folds as a frown descends on my face immediate

Chapter 38

SeraThe house still feels the same, barely changed since I left. The paints are mostly off the walls and the faint damp smell of the moss growing by the window seeped into the dining room. It mixed with the scent of old wood and cooked food, churning my stomach. I adjust on the uneven dining chair, its legs wobbling lightly as I shift. The table still has that long crack that runs down the middle, like it had been split into two and glued back together. For once, I tasted what it was like to eat by one that glinted off chandelier lights. But now… I'm here again. I sigh, resting my hands on my lap. My eyes drop down to the food in front of me–rice, a small portion of pumpkin sauce, barely any meat. It's the same meal I've eaten countless times before…Before the Alpha's mansion. Across from me, Aaliyah and Leah sit close together, their frames flickering against the dying lightbulb hung over us. They aren't eating yet and their heads tilt slightly toward each other as they move t

Chapter 39

SeraI can't tell if it's just me but the uniform feels tighter than I remember. The fabric clings to my waist, outlining my frame as I move between tables. I adjust the black apron tied to snug around me, cursing under my breath as I approach the she-wolf reading off the menu. “Good morning,” I greet, forcing my voice to sound normal. My fingers grip the small notebook and pen like they're the only things anchoring me steady. “Have you decided on your order?" The she-wolf opens her mouth to answer as she lifts her head to me. But the moment our eyes meet, her words die in her throat and she just seats there, staring at me. "Ma'am?” I ask, trying to keep my voice steady. "Your order please?”She blinks, nodding as she brings her gaze back to the menu. As she lists what she wants, I begin writing them down carefully, making sure my hand doesn't shake. "Do you want anything else to go with that?” I ask after I'm done. "No,” she answers, shaking her head. With a forced smile, I nod

Chapter 40

SeraFor a long moment, neither of us makes a move to say anything. We just stand there, avoiding eye contact as the world carries on around us. No longer comfortable with the silence, I open my mouth to speak when a horn blares suddenly behind me. I flinch and curse before I can stop myself, but Aeron still doesn't move. Instead, he raises his gaze, locking it on me like nothing else exists. My chest tightened at the intensity of his stare, making it hard to breathe. Then, breaking the quiet, he finally says, “I want you to come back to the mansion." There is no hesitation in his tone. Just that simple, direct edge, like what he had asked was the easiest thing in the world to do. I shake my head and let out a quiet scoff at how incredulous he sounded. But when I see he's still holding his serious stare, I stop and take a step back. "You want me to come back?” I ask, a wry smile etched on my face. “Why? What is your reason?" He takes too long to give an answer. And that, more t
