Chapter 21 —Pack run Evelyn’s POVThe packhouse had never been this lively before.From the moment I woke up, the entire place buzzed with excitement.Servants hurried down the hallways carrying trays of food and bundles of cloth while warriors laughed loudly outside. Music floated faintly through the windows, and every corner of the packhouse seemed brighter somehow.I stood near my window watching the commotion below curiously.“What’s happening?” I asked softly.Clare, who was arranging dresses behind me, looked up with surprise.“You forgot?”I turned toward her blankly. “Forgot what?”“The pack run.”My brows furrowed slightly. I had heard those words before.Back in the village, people spoke about the pack run every year with excitement and embarrassment mixed together.But Aunt Agnes never allowed me near it. She always claimed it was “not for girls like me.”At the time, I assumed she meant because I was wolfless. Now, I wasn’t so sure anymore.“What exactly happens during it

Chapter 23 — obsession Raphael’s POVI should have stopped it sooner.That thought lingered heavily in my mind long after Annabelle stormed away from the field.From where I stood near the bonfires, I could still see Evelyn laughing softly with Nora beneath one of the lantern-lit trees.And despite myself, my attention remained fixed there.On her. Always her.Damien appeared beside me holding two drinks before handing me one silently.“You nearly killed Annabelle with that look alone.”I took the glass without responding. Truthfully, Annabelle was fortunate Nora intervened first because if that slap had landed, my control would have snapped publicly.And that would have been bad.Very bad.Damien followed my gaze toward Evelyn and Nora.“They’re close.”I remained silent. Nora had surprised me tonight.Most people in this pack either feared Annabelle or avoided confrontation with her entirely.But Nora? She stepped between them without hesitation.Protecting Evelyn like it was insti

Chapter 24 — fear of warRaphael’s POVThe moment Annabelle stormed out of my office, I lost what little patience I had left.“Get out.”The two warriors standing near the door stiffened instantly.“Alpha…”“I said leave.”They didn’t hesitate a second time.Within moments, the office doors shut heavily behind them, leaving only Damien, Evelyn, and me inside the room.The silence afterward felt suffocating.Annabelle’s accusations still echoed through the office walls. The warriors from Icefall Pack had attacked one of our border patrols.Three were injured, and one dead. Now war sat dangerously close again.My hands tightened behind my back as I stared toward the darkening window.I could already feel the rage building beneath my skin.The fear of instability and pressure.Then softly, I heard a sigh.“I’m sorry.”My chest tightened immediately and I turned. Evelyn stood near the couch looking devastated.Her eyes shimmered with guilt despite the situation having absolutely nothing t

Chapter 27— At DawnEvelyn’s POVThe sound of clashing steel tore through my sleep.I frowned, still half-asleep as another loud clang echoed across the packhouse.Shouts followed, and boots pounded against the courtyard below.For a brief, confused moment, I thought I had overslept. Then I remembered the war.My eyes flew open.The room was dim, washed in the pale blue light that came just before sunrise. I sat upright, my heartbeat already racing.The sounds outside hadn’t stopped.Metal struck metal again and warriors barked orders to one another.The entire packhouse seemed to have awakened long before dawn.I slipped out of bed and crossed the room quietly. The moment I stepped onto the balcony, the cold morning air brushed against my face.Below me, the training grounds were alive.Dozens of warriors sparred in organized groups. Some practiced with swords, while others trained with spears or shields.The sharp rhythm of weapons colliding filled the air as instructors shouted cor

Chapter 29 :BLOOD IN THE VALLEY Raphael’s POV“Attack!”The command had barely left my mouth before Shadowfang surged forward.A thunder of boots shook the valley.Warriors roared as they charged, their battle cries echoing against the surrounding cliffs.Some shifted mid-stride.Bones cracked, fur burst through skin, and within seconds, massive wolves were racing across the battlefield, baring gleaming fangs as they slammed into Icefall’s front line.Others remained in human form, swords raised high, shields locking together as steel met steel.The first clash exploded across the valley.Metal screamed against metal with growls mixed with cries of pain.The scent of blood spread almost instantly. But I noticed none of it.There was only one person in my sight.Kai.He stood several yards away, barking orders to his warriors.The moment our eyes met, he smiled that arrogant smile. The one I wanted to wipe from his face forever.Without hesitation, I sprinted toward him.My sword fla
