131: Shielding

CadeonI start getting dressed in the clothes I've been provided and Lili shoots me a bewildered look as she heads toward the door."What are you doing?""If you think I'm going to sit by and wait to be saved, you're mistaken. I'm perfectly alright—I'll go with you."Her eyes bulge. She's still hyperventilating from our make-out session. "What? Cadeon, you can't possibly be serious. What? You're not well enough to go anywhere. You have to be resting.""I'm fine.""Cadeon—"I close the distance between us and the words die on her tongue. I take her chin between my fingers and kiss her softly. "I know you're worried about me, but I want you to know that this is going to give me even more strength to keep fighting. Sitting around and doing nothing while everyone else fights this war for me is driving me insane. The thought damn near killed me."Her eyes gleam with tears. "But it's not safe. What if you get hurt?""What if you get hurt?" I counter. "Do you think I'll rest easy, knowing yo

132: Eruption

LiliethI look up at his face and the tenderness etched there just melts my heart."I'm sorry," I finally say."Don't. There's no need to apologize, Lili.""I didn't mean to lash out at you. I just need you to...I need to be able to do this, Cadeon. I know you're just doing everything you can, and that you love me, but I'm capable.""I know you are," he agrees, "but you're mine, Lili. The thought of anyone hurting you while I'm standing right next to you drives me to the brink of insanity. My wolf won't let that happen. But alright—I'll do it for you, alright? I'll keep my distance. I'll give you the space you need."The matter is dropped, and we rejoin the others. Corey is the only one we find. As soon as he sees us, he says, "That Gamma's talking.""What do we have so far?" Cadeon asks."Another attack will happen nearby. They're trying to destabilize the Ignis by destroying the packs that support him."For some reason, this makes my heart sink to the pit of my stomach. "What do you

133: Midnight Hunt

CadeonAfter dropping Lili off at the house, I make my way back to where we'll be camping for the night.I'm glad she and I came to an agreement—I can sense that she's on edge but I don't know why and it frustrates me. What am I missing? She's never been this temperamental before. That can only mean that deep down, something's upsetting her, something that maybe, she can't talk about.Is she resentful because I'm risking my life when I'm not healed fully?I'm fine, and after burying myself inside of her, I feel even better. I sensed that her mood changed a little afterward too, so could it be that it was something we both desperately needed to take the edge off?I don't know—I'm only relieved that she's safe right now. I couldn't stand the thought of her here, with us, where we could be attacked at any moment.When Timmon spots me, he asks, "Is Lilieth okay?""She's fine. She just needs to rest her wrist. What about that Gamma? Did he say something else?"Timmon shakes his head. "No.

134: Alert

LiliethI'm restless and I have no idea why.I've been this way since I returned. Though I'm worried about Cadeon and the others who'll be up all night awaiting the arrival of those Gammas, I know that's not the reason why I feel this way—I believe in them. After today, I saw how capable they were.Yes, there's always fear and concern somewhere deep inside of me, but that's not the reason why I feel like I can't sit still for a single minute.It's something else I can't put my finger on and it's beyond frustrating.I fold my arms and pace my bedroom floor. I'm anguished, for some reason, and walking around makes me feel a lot better.When the bedroom becomes too unbearable for me, I step outside. Cool air brushes against my skin, and I close my eyes, savoring the moment. Why do I feel so suffocated and paranoid inside the house but not out here? It's strange and I've given up on trying to understand it.I walk around the property, arms folded. Though the air is a bit too cold, I like

135: The Culprit

Lilieth"Someone must have said something, there's no way around it!" Draven says angrily as he looks around her group. "Those outsiders wouldn't have known about that gate unless someone told them. We have a traitor in our midst!"Unfortunately, I have to agree with him. Nobody else could've known. I rest my head against Cadeon's arm, and he pulls me closer by tightening his hold on me.Everyone looks worn down.Today has been the longest day of my life.The Emberborn woman who's married to an Alpha clears her throat and says, "I'm sorry for bringing this up at a time like this, and I sincerely hope you won't think I'm being provocative by saying this, but you were looking for your daughter, Magda, weren't you? Has she been found?"I tense up because I automatically know what she's referring to. Corey is the one who answers her question. "No, not yet. I'm sure she has nothing to do with this.""How can you be so sure if she revealed the truth about the gate to the Omega-borns in the

136: The Best News

Lilieth"I'm pregnant."This is the last thing I thought I'd hear her say. I'm stunned; I thought there'd be an issue of some kind. Maybe something to do with Corey."What?"Deo giggles. "Yeah.""Deo, this is excellent news!" I remark before placing my hands over my mouth in shock. "By the goddess, Deo. This is amazing! I can't believe this!"We embrace. I'm bursting with happiness, even though I'm still trying to process this. I'm so shocked—this is the best news I've heard in forever."I'm going to be an aunt."Deo laughs and wipes away the tears gathering in her eyes. "You are.""How did Corey react?""I haven't told him yet.""What? Why not?"Deo sighs and sits on the edge of her bed. She puts her hands together and places them between her thighs, appearing deep in thought for a handful of seconds. "I don't know. I don't want to distract him—I'm afraid of that.""Why would he be distracted?" I ask, sitting next to her."You know how he is," she claims. "He's so extreme about every

137: Guarding

CadeonIt's been three days since the unexpected attack, and we're practically back to normal, meaning the campaigns are still ongoing.This is my first time being at one of them, and honestly, I'm amazed by Lili's speech. She talks with passion and enthusiasm—like a true leader, the leader I always knew her as. Pride swells in my chest every time she utters a word. By the end, I'm bursting at the fucking seams because I can't believe I have her and she's mine.I don't blame Draven for hating me because of it. I'd hate myself too, if I messed up the one chance we had to be together because of self-doubt and prejudices that don't matter.I'm more optimistic about the whole thing because, for the first time since I got up from that bed, I finally understood just how many people are on our side. The attacks orchestrated by my father and his allies just haven't been working.They're suffering so many losses that it's ridiculous and selfish to keep fighting us. I always knew that Omegas ou

138: The Stalking Wolf

CadeonPetra looks at me with rage in her eyes.Raw, unfiltered rage.I genuinely don't know what to say because she's the last person I thought I'd see. I'm so stunned that she almost shifts back to get away from me, but I hold the medallion to her skin and the acrid smell of burning flesh invades my nostrils.One side is stainless steel and the other is silver. It's a good weapon to have in your pocket."Stop!" she yells in agony.I have to snap out of this. I ask her, "How the hell did you find us? How many of you are here? Answer me, Petra, or by the goddess, I'll kill you right here."Petra glares at me, but I see a hint of fear in her eyes and that's enough for me. But instead of answering my question, she says, "You killed my father. You bastard, you killed him!""How did you know we were here, Petra?"Again, she starts to fight me, but I hold her down, making sure she's not going to escape my clutches. I look around and my guess is that she's alone because if she were with som

139: A Reason To Hope

LiliethOh, Anice.What have you done?The sight of the entire village on fire wounds me, and it hurts more than any physical blow would. For a handful of moments, all I can do is watch people running up and down, trying to get away from the flames. My eyes are burning from all the smoke and heat—this is something I never thought I'd see.This magical place is burning to the ground.And my sister's responsible for it.The worst part isn't even the fire—Omega-borns are being attacked. I watch Cadeon fight off a few of them from a distance. How did he get there so quickly? How long have I been standing here?These questions come to a staggering halt when I see a Gamma rapidly approaching me. I spring into action, using the knife at my hip to slash him across the chest. I join the others, fighting my way across the field. Cadeon's eyes meet mine occasionally like he's making sure I'm alright.I'm doing fairly well, considering I haven't really had much practice fighting in the real world

140: Destabilizing Information

CadeonI get up before the sun rises.I haven't been able to sleep—I'm too worried about being attacked once more. Though Gammas are patrolling the area, there's always a reason to be concerned.Lili's asleep in the tent. Because such a large portion of the pack house was burned down, we're all outside. We decided to stick around the village, where there are more people. She slept through the night, which is a relief because she was inconsolable. Knowing her sister is the reason for this mess is a fucked up feeling.It's been an hour since I woke up, and people are starting to leave their tents and houses. I find that the sunshine is a sharp contrast to the ruin—it's almost like the two of them don't match. It should've been raining with an overcast day.But enough of that. I look around, greeting a few of the Gammas I befriended last night. We all have to work together, so our relationship has to be cordial, at least. While talking to Brad, one of Draven's most trusted men, I spot D
