CHAPTER SIXTY

Sera’s POV“They’ve taken your children.”The words did not feel real at first.They moved through the air.They reached my ears.But my mind refused them.Taken?No.No, I had only just escaped madness.Only just learned that my body could become something I feared.Only just heard that the man before me was my father.There could not be another disaster waiting in the same night.Yet when I looked at Roran’s face, I saw no doubt.Only certainty.And urgency.My knees weakened.“My children?” I whispered.My voice sounded human now.Soft.Fragile.Too fragile for those words.He stepped closer this time.Not enough to alarm me.Enough to steady me if I fell.“Yes.”“How do you know?”He tilted his head slightly, listening to something I could not hear. “Blood calls when it is frightened.”I shook my head. “That is not an answer.”“It is the only one I have time to give.”Anger rose through my fear.“I need more than riddles!”“And they need speed.”That silenced me.Because he was ri

CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE

Alpha Caden’s POVChaos has a sound.Most people think it is screaming.They are wrong.Screaming is only the surface.Chaos is footsteps with no direction.Orders shouted by men who no longer know whose voice matters.Doors opening too often.Steel drawn too quickly.Whispers multiplying faster than truth.That was the music drifting through the prison corridors tonight.And I enjoyed every note of it.I sat against the damp stone wall of my cell, one leg stretched out, the other bent, my wrists resting loosely on my knees.The chains were unnecessary.The bars were insulting.But the panic above me?Delicious.The great Voss palace had always pretended to be eternal.Perfect walls.Perfect hierarchy.Perfect loyalty.Yet all it took was one transformed woman, two missing children, and one old man in rags for the entire structure to begin eating itself.How fragile people are when certainty leaves them.I closed my eyes and listened.Running guards.Raised voices.Someone crying.Goo

CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO

Eli’s POV“I never said I came only with one video.” Nyra interrupted with a calm voice. That was the first thing I noticed.The second was that she enjoyed my reaction.I had known Nyra long enough to recognize when she was merely speaking and when she was hunting. Tonight, she was hunting.I stared at her across the office.The lamp on my desk threw gold light across one side of her face and left the other in shadow.“What do you mean?” I asked.She said nothing.Instead, she picked up her phone again, moved around the desk, and sat on its edge close enough for me to smell the faint perfume she always pretended not to wear.Then she opened another file.“Watch.”The screen lit.A corridor.Dim.Unsteady angle.Hidden recording.I leaned forward.At first, I saw nothing useful—stone walls, torchlight, a doorway left slightly open.Then figures entered.Three guards.Cloaked.And behind them—Dr. Kade.My pulse sharpened immediately.The man was too careful to appear in the wrong pla

CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE

Dr. Kade’s POVSomething felt so wrong as I carried the twins down the lower corridor. Even though they were asleep when I took them from their room, I still thought they shouldn’t look this still and quiet. The boy’s head, which I guess belonged to Enzo rested against my arm, his breathing slow under the sedative. His brother was in the arms of one of the guards behind me. I loved how everything had gone according to plan even though I was still disturbed. The palace above us was already unraveling when I left—the perfect cover. Shouting, running, confusion. Even the most disciplined guards lose shape in chaos.I had timed it well.Or rather, Alpha Caden had.I only executed.That is how I justify things when they begin to feel… wrong.We reached the lower wing without interruption and the air changed immediately with the smell of stone and old chemicals.“Inside,” I said.The guards entered first, scanning out of habit more than necessity. No one came down here unless they were cal

CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR

Alpha Caden’s POVI have been locked up in this prison for hours now and I must say, time moves slower and sharper. Every second cuts cleaner when you have nothing to distract you from it.Even without attempting to do it, I have been counting and taking notes of the footsteps in the corridor, moments between distant sounds. I was curious and nervous. I should have received the news of the death of the twins because news moved very fast in the Voss palace. Hours had passed since I set everything in motion and the time is even more than enough. Dr. Kade was not a man who delayed difficult tasks. He doesn’t hesitate too especially if I have confirmed it and this only means the twins should be dead by now. I rested my head against the stone wall and closed my eyes briefly, trying to fathom the sorrow that will boom in the voss palace once they are confirmed dead. Sera would break.Dorian would lose clarity.The council would scramble.And somewhere in that confusion, I would step bac

CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE

Dr. Kade’s POVAs I stared at the twins or maybe wolves attacked the guards and unalive them, I realized I have made a very big mistake. A kind of mistake that cannot be corrected with another impromptu surgery or anything I could think of at the moment. The chamber reeked of blood and it was irritating. The first guard had not even finished screaming before his throat was gone. The second tried to fight but what use is training against something that moves like instinct given flesh?They were not children anymore at least, not at that time. They were something unfinished.Something raw.And they were looking at me.I backed into the wall, breath uneven, heart striking against my ribs like it wanted out of my body.This was wrong. “They shouldn’t be able to—” I muttered but I stopped immediately when I saw the expression on their faces. They remembered and everything Alpha Caden has suppressed is now awake. And I had just provoked it.The smaller one stepped forward.No.Not sma

CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX

Dorian’s POVI kept pacing round the office as I waited earnestly for the report from the guards. Hours passed, yet nothing moved forward. The guards came back with the same report and it carried the same thing. “They're not there". “It's fruitless" That's the same thing they've repeated over and over again. I had been on my feet since Sera walked back into the palace with the man who called himself her father.Roran.Even thinking his name carried weight. Too many truths had surfaced in a short period of time and none of them could be dealt with at the moment. Not while my sons were missing.I left my office and went to the central hall where Sera was. I stood beside her. Not so close and not so distant as well. Something in between. Like we were standing on a line neither of us wanted to cross first.None of us said a thing to the other even though there were things we needed to say. Her transformation.Her leaving.My failure.The children.The man standing somewhere behind u

CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN

Sera’s POV“They’re hunting.”Those words didn’t leave me.They didn’t fade.They didn’t weaken.They stayed.Sharp.Alive.Growing heavier with every second that passed.I stood behind Dorian as Dr. Kade said it, my chest tightening in a way I couldn’t explain. Hunting. Not running. Not hiding. Not scared.Hunting.My children.My sons.The same boys who used to cling to my dress and laugh over nothing were now somewhere out there… chasing blood.Something inside me twisted painfully.Guilt.Fear.Something darker.Something that whispered:This is what you are.I clenched my fists immediately, forcing that thought away.No.Not now.Not ever.We didn’t waste time.There was no space for shock.No time for emotions.Only movement.Only action.Dorian was already giving orders before Kade’s words fully settled.“Search outside the palace walls,” he commanded. “Forests. Bushes. Every route leading out. I want eyes everywhere.”Guards scattered instantly and I followed. There was nowher

CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT

“It was your mother.”Immediately Rorean said that, I felt something shatter in the atmosphere. I also saw the stillness in Sera. I turned to her immediately.She wasn’t moving.Wasn’t blinking.Wasn’t breathing properly.Just standing there like the world had ended and no one told her how to react to it.Roran didn’t speak.Caden didn’t need to.The damage was already done.“Sera…” I called but she didn’t answer me. I stepped closer, my hand hovering near her arm before I finally touched her lightly and as careful as possible. Her skin was cold. Her eyes slowly shifted toward me and I could see the emptiness in it. Not the kind of emptiness that comes from confusion.The kind that comes from something being ripped out of you.“My mother…” she whispered.Her voice barely existed.I didn’t let her stay there.Not in that place.Not in front of him.Not where Caden could watch her break and enjoy it.“Come,” I said firmly and dragged her out of the place. She didn’t argue or question

CHAPTER SIXTY-NINE

Mila’s POVI wasn’t lost about what has been going on in the Voss palace and I loved every bit of it. Chaos is beautiful.Not the kind people pretend to hate while secretly craving.The kind that breaks order.The kind that exposes truth.The kind that makes powerful people bleed.I stood by the corridor window, watching the palace grounds below, and for the first time in a long time, I smiled without holding back. From where I stood, I could see guards running around, servants whispering and nobles pacing like trapped animals.The Voss palace was no longer untouchable.It was cracking.And I loved it.Everything had happened so fast.Too fast for anyone to contain.Sera’s transformation.The bloodline exposed.The twins missing and….. Then found . Everything going on in the Voss palace right now is what I have hoped for because I didn’t even have to push that hard.They were destroying themselves.I leaned my head slightly against the wall and closed my eyes.Just for a moment.Let
