Chapter Seventy- One: Shadows of the past

I returned to our rooms with my wolf still restless. The encounter with Elara still replayed in my mind. Her striking beauty, the way she said Julian’s name, and the subtle hostility in her smile. I took a deep breath and pushed it aside. I would not let it affect me. Not openly. Julian had enough on his mind after the ceremony and the new responsibilities we both carried. Mentioning her would make me sound insecure. I refused to give her that power.Instead, I focused on my duties as Luna.That afternoon, Ethan and I worked in the archive hall, reviewing pack traditions, dispute handling, and ways to help young wolves through their first shifts. He explained everything with patience.“You will sit in on council meetings now,” he said. “Your voice carries weight as Luna. The origin point gives you insight others lack so Use it wisely.”I nodded and asked questions. “How do we balance mercy with strength when someone breaks pack law?”Ethan smiled. “That is the art of it. Your mother h

Chapter Seventy -Two: Old claims Awakens

We walked back to our rooms in silence. Julian seemed relaxed after the dinner. He held my hand and talked about old stories with Elara. I listened but said little. My wolf still felt on edge. The things Elara said at the table burned in my mind. She wanted Julian. She planned to take him. I would not let that happen.Once inside Julian pulled me close. “It was good to see her again. She has always been sharp with ideas. The pack can use her skills on the borders.”I nodded and kissed him lightly. “She seems confident. Just make sure she knows her place. I am your Luna now.”He smiled and did not catch the deeper meaning. “Of course. You are everything to me.” We got ready for bed and slept. But my rest was light. Dreams mixed with green eyes and whispered threats.Morning came fast. Julian woke early and dressed for his duties. “I have council this morning. Then border checks. Join me for the afternoon training if you can.”“I will,” I said. I planned to visit my mother again and rev

Chapter Seventy- Three:The Bloodlines’s Test

Morning brought urgent news. Scouts had detected strange energy near the border. Julian immediately gathered a small group to investigate.“Elara,” he said, not looking up from his sword belt. “You’re coming. You felt it first.”She nodded once and fell into line.We rode out quickly. As we reached the trees, the air grew heavy. A shimmering light appeared ahead. Its power felt like the origin point, but something about it was wrong. Elara pointed toward a crack in the ground.““It feels like a family bond,” she said quietly. “An old one.I dismounted and stepped closer. My wolf stirred not in warning exactly, but in recognition. Then a voice moved through my mind, low and certain:Blood calls to blood.The ground trembled. The crack widened. Light bled up from beneath it, and in that light I saw them. Julian and Elara as children, their fathers standing together over a document neither of them had ever shown us.Then the origin point reacted.Energy poured into Elara. Her eyes sudde

Chapter 74: The Fragment’s Hunger

Three days passed after the chamber test and Elara did not leave.She stayed in the guest quarters Julian had offered her out of respect for the bloodline connection. Every morning she joined pack meals. Every evening she walked the grounds. She smiled at everyone, helped the healers, and played with the pack children.She was perfect. That made me trust her less.Hector appeared at my side one afternoon as I watched her laughing with two younger wolves. “She is smart. He said quietly. She is not fighting you with anger,” “She is winning people over one smile at a time.”“I know,” I said.“What are you going to do about it?”I did not answer because I did not know yet.That night Julian came to bed late and sat on the edge of the mattress without moving.“Talk to me,” I said.His face looked heavy. “The elders want a meeting tomorrow. Some of them think we should hear Elara out fully before making any moves.”“Hear her out? She wants to take my place.”“I know what she wants.” His

Chapter 75: Blood To Blood

My father stared at me for a long time.“That is either very smart,” he said, “or very dangerous.”“Can it work?” I asked.He picked up the old book and turned the pages slowly. His finger traced lines of old writing. The candle flickered between us as I waited.“There is something here,” he said finally. He turned the book toward me. The writing was faded but I could make out a few words. Bloodline direction. Shared source. Carrier to carrier.“What does it say?” I asked.“It says that when two carriers share the same bloodline, they can form a direct link,” he said. “Not through a mate bond, but through the bloodline itself. You would anchor her fragment and keep it from drifting.”“And the risk?”“If the link goes wrong the fragment could pull from you instead. It could drain your connection to the origin point. And weaken you from the inside.”“But if it works?”“If it works,” he said quietly, “Elara stays stable. Julian stays out of it. Your bond stays clean.”“Then we try it,” I

Chapter 76: The Morning After

I woke up before dawn.The fragment was still there. Sitting quiet inside me like a second heartbeat. Not painful. Not loud. Just present. Like a house guest who had moved in and was trying not to make noise.I lay still and listened to it.Julian’s arm was heavy across my waist. His breathing was slow and even. I did not want to wake him so I stayed still and thought about everything.Elara had agreed to the link. She had let me anchor her fragment. But she had also looked me in the eye and told me she had not stepped back. That she still wanted my mate.She did not pretend. I had to give her that.But it also meant last night changed nothing between us except the power arrangement. She was still my rival. Just a more stable one now.I slipped out from under Julian’s arm and went to the window. The sky was dark purple at the edges. The pack grounds were quiet below.My wolf stirred and nudged the fragment gently. Testing it. The fragment pushed back. Not hard. Just enough to say it w

Chapter 77: What The Blood Remembers

Two days passed.Elara kept her distance. She still came to meals. She still trained in the yard. But she did not seek me out and she did not seek Julian out either. She moved through the pack like someone working something out in her head.I tried not to watch her too closely. It was hard.The fragment inside me stayed quiet most of the time. But every so often, usually at night, it stirred. Not painfully. Just a slow turning, like it was trying to remember something.On the third night it woke me up completely.I sat up in bed gasping. Julian woke instantly beside me, his hand already on my arm.“Selina. What is it?”“I do not know.” My chest felt tight. Not from pain. From pressure. Like the fragment was pushing against something from the inside. “It feels different tonight.”“Different how?”“Like it wants out.”Julian was already pulling on a shirt. “I am getting your father.”My father arrived within minutes, hair messy, eyes sharp despite the hour. He sat on the edge of the bed

Chapter 78:The Third fragments

The morning after the vision, the pack gates opened for a visitor.I was crossing the courtyard with Julian when Hector came striding toward us, a wide smile on his face I had not seen from him before.“My nephew is here,” he said. “Cesar. He has been traveling for two years. I did not expect him until next month.”Julian raised an eyebrow. “The wanderer finally comes home.”“He always did things on his own schedule,” Hector said, already turning to walk toward the gate. “Come. You should meet him.”I followed, the fragment inside me strangely still, like it was holding its breath.The gate opened and a man stepped through leading a tired horse. He was tall and handsome with dark hair pulled back and a travel cloak dusted with road dirt. He looked around the compound with the calm attention of someone used to walking into unfamiliar places.Then his eyes found me.The fragment inside my chest exploded.I gasped and grabbed Julian’s arm. Pain shot through my ribs, sharp and sudden, lik

Chapter 79:The Moon Goddess Theory

Julian led me away from the courtyard without speaking. We walked through the side corridor until we reached our room, and only then did he turn to face me.“What was that,” he said. His voice was tight, controlled in the way that meant he was working hard to keep it that way.“What was what?”“You and Cesar. Standing there. Talking like…” He stopped himself and exhaled hard. “Like there was something between you.”“Julian,you saw how the fragment reacted. We were only trying to understand it.”“That is not what I saw.” He paced to the window and back. “I saw the way he looked at you. I saw the way you looked back. Do not tell me that was just about the fragment.”I felt my own temper rise to meet his. “Are you accusing me of something?”“No.” He stopped pacing and faced me directly. “I am telling you how it felt to watch my mate stand close to a stranger and have something pass between you that I could not touch.”The words landed harder than I expected. I thought of Elara, of the we

Chapter 80: Two Strangers,One pull

My father called for another test the next morning. He wanted to understand the fragment’s reaction to Cesar under controlled conditions, the same way we had tested Elara’s fragment days before.I was not looking forward to it.We gathered in the small chamber again. My father, Julian, Cesar, and me. Elara had asked to be present too, claiming she wanted to understand the third fragment better, though I suspected she simply wanted to watch.Julian stood close to me the entire time, his hand resting on my lower back like he needed the contact to stay calm.“We will start slow,” my father said. “Cesar, take three steps toward Selina and stop.”Cesar nodded and crossed the room carefully. I felt the fragment stir as the distance closed, a low hum building in my chest. He stopped exactly three steps away, and the hum settled into something steady, almost comfortable.“How does that feel?” my father asked me.“Manageable,” I said. “Like background noise.”“Cesar?”“The same,” he said. “Qui
