CHAPTER 131: THE BOND BETWEEN BROTHERS

KIARA’S POVRowan’s cry continued echoing in my mind long after the connection with my mother disappeared.I could still hear him.Not clearly.Not like a normal sound.It was something deeper.A pull.A bond.A desperate little heartbeat calling for his brother.I held Ryder against my chest.His tiny fingers curled around mine.“He’s calling you,” I whispered.Ryder suddenly stopped crying.His eyes opened.Silver light spread across them.I froze.“Ryder?”The black symbol appeared again.But this time, it didn’t frighten me.Because I understood something.The symbol wasn’t controlling him.It was connecting him.To Rowan.I placed Ryder gently on the bed.“Can you feel him?”He stared at me.Then his little hand lifted.A thin thread of silver light appeared between his fingers.It stretched toward the window.Toward Moonfall.My heart raced.“Kael!”He entered immediately.“What happened?”I pointed.He stared at the silver thread.“What is that?”“The twins’ bond.”The witch do

CHAPTER 132: THE SECRET I COULDN’T FORGET

KIARA’S POVI couldn’t sleep.Not after what happened.Not after hearing that voice come from Ryder.I sat beside the nursery window, watching the moonlight spill across the floor.Ryder was sleeping peacefully.For once, his eyes were normal.No silver glow.No black mark.No strange voice.Just my little boy.I reached into his crib and gently brushed my fingers over his cheek.“You scared Mommy tonight.”He made a tiny sound in his sleep.I smiled sadly.“I won’t let anything happen to you.”But even as I said it, my mind wandered somewhere else.Two weeks ago.I remembered that night perfectly.I had been unable to sleep.Kael was still away at the council meeting, and the entire pack had gone unusually quiet.Something had felt wrong.I couldn’t explain it.It was just one of those feelings.The kind that crawled beneath your skin and refused to leave.I’d stepped outside to get some air.That’s when I saw her.Celeste.She had been standing near the edge of the forest.Alone.At

CHAPTER 133: THERE IS NOWHERE TO RUN

KIARA’S POVI waited until the twins were asleep before I went looking for Kael.My mind had been restless ever since I found the black fabric in the forest.Chloe.Celeste.The coven.The Gate.Everything seemed connected, yet I couldn’t see the entire picture.And there was one thought I couldn’t get rid of.Maybe we were making it too easy for them.We kept waiting for the witches to attack.We kept rebuilding the same walls they destroyed.We kept protecting the same territory they already knew how to enter.Why were we still here?I found Kael in his study.He stood over a table covered with maps of the pack territory.His expression was tense.He looked up when I entered.“You should be sleeping.”“So should you.”He gave me a tired smile.“I have work.”“I need to talk to you.”The smile disappeared.“About what?”I closed the door behind me.“I think we should leave.”Kael stared at me.“Leave what?”“The pack.”Silence.He slowly straightened.“Explain.”“We keep waiting for the

CHAPTER 134: THE PACK THAT DOESN’T EXIST

KIARA’S POVI couldn’t take my eyes off the message on the nursery wall.YOU CAN RUN.WE WILL FOLLOW.The black letters seemed to pulse against the stone.For a few seconds, nobody moved.Kael stood beside me with his sword drawn, his eyes fixed on the writing.Behind us, Rowan and Ryder slept peacefully in their cribs.That was what frightened me the most.How could the twins sleep so peacefully when something had just entered their room?Something that had left us a warning.I slowly walked toward the wall.My fingers hovered over the words.“Don’t touch it,” the witch doctor warned.I stopped.“Why?”“It’s still carrying magic.”“What kind?”She stepped closer.“I don’t know yet.”Kael looked at her.“Can you trace it?”She placed her palm against the wall.Her eyes immediately closed.For several seconds, nothing happened.Then her face changed.She pulled her hand away.“What?”She looked at me.“The magic came through the twins.”My heart dropped.“What do you mean?”“The witche

CHAPTER 135: WHERE IS CELESTE?

KIARA’S POVThe moment we returned to the pack, I knew something had changed.Everyone was watching us.The warriors stood along the walls, whispering among themselves.Nobody knew exactly what we had found in the abandoned territory, but they knew enough to understand that something was wrong.I kept the photograph hidden beneath my coat.I wasn’t ready to show it to everyone.Not yet.There were too many secrets already buried inside this pack.I wasn’t going to add another one until I knew who I could trust.Kael walked beside me.“You’re quiet.”“So are you.”“I’m thinking.”“About Celeste?”He looked at me.“Yes.”I nodded.“So am I.”Two weeks ago, I had seen her leaving the coven.At the time, I had convinced myself that there had to be an explanation.Now I wasn’t so sure.“She knows something,” I said.Kael nodded.“Then we’ll find her.”We searched the pack first.Her room was empty.Her clothes were still there.Her jewelry was still on the dresser.Her bed hadn’t been slep

CHAPTER 136: THE RITUAL BEGINS

KIARA’S POVI couldn’t stop thinking about what Celeste had told me.Tomorrow night.The final ritual would begin tomorrow night.And if she was telling the truth, the witches weren’t after my sons.Not directly.They were after me.My blood.My magic.My connection to the Gate.I looked across the room at Rowan and Ryder.They were asleep beside each other.Ryder’s tiny hand rested against Rowan’s blanket.They looked so peaceful.So innocent.How could anyone look at these children and see them as weapons?I walked toward their cribs and knelt between them.“I won’t let them take me,” I whispered.“But I won’t let them hurt you either.”Ryder stirred.His eyes opened.For a second, they glowed silver.Then they returned to normal.I smiled.“You don’t have to be afraid.”I touched his cheek.“Mommy is here.”Behind me, the door opened.Kael entered.His expression was serious.“Celeste is awake.”I stood.“How is she?”“Exhausted.”“Is she still willing to talk?”“Yes.”I followed h

CHAPTER 137: THE VOICE IN THE CHAPEL

KIARA’S POVMoonfall appeared in the distance like a dark shadow against the night sky.The closer we got, the colder the air became.No birds.No insects.Not even the sound of the wind.Everything was unnaturally quiet.I walked beside Kael, my fingers tightly wrapped around his.Behind us were six warriors and Celeste.Nobody spoke.Even the wolves seemed to understand that something was wrong.I kept thinking about Ryder’s vision.My aunt.Standing behind Seraphine.Smiling.She knew we were coming.But if she knew…Why hadn’t she stopped us?That question bothered me more than anything.“Kael.”He looked at me.“You’re thinking too loudly.”I almost smiled.“How?”“I know you.”I looked toward Moonfall.“My aunt knew we were coming.”“I know.”“Then this could be a trap.”“Of course it is.”I looked at him.“You say that so casually.”“I’m terrified.”His honesty caught me off guard.“You are?”“Every second.”He squeezed my hand.“But fear doesn’t mean we stop.”I nodded.We con

CHAPTER 138: MY MOTHER’S VOICE

KIARA’S POVThe chamber disappeared beneath a blinding silver light.I couldn’t see Kael.I couldn’t see Celeste.I couldn’t even see Chloe.All I could hear was that voice.My mother’s voice.“My daughter.”My heart shattered.I had spent so long wondering whether she was alive.So many nights dreaming about her.So many times begging the universe for one chance to see her again.And now…Her voice was coming from the creature standing before me.But something was wrong.It wasn’t her.It couldn’t be.I stepped backward.“You’re not my mother.”The creature tilted its head.Then it laughed.Not loudly.Almost gently.“You still recognize my voice.”“I recognize the voice you stole.”The silver light around us flickered.For the first time, the creature stopped smiling.Behind me, Kael struggled against the invisible force holding him.“Kiara!”I turned.His eyes were glowing gold.He was trying to break free.“Kael!”“Don’t listen to it!”The creature looked toward him.Something mov

CHAPTER 139: THE THING I COULDN’T TELL KAEL

KIARA’S POVI didn’t tell Kael what I had heard.Not immediately.I couldn’t.My mother’s voice still echoed inside my head.Don’t trust Kael.The words made no sense.Kael had stood beside me through everything.He had fought for me.Protected our sons.Nearly died more times than I could count.And yet…Something about the warning frightened me.Not because I believed it.Because a part of me did.I followed him through the tunnel, keeping several steps behind.Every few seconds, he glanced back.“You okay?”“Yes.”“You’ve been quiet.”“I’m tired.”He studied me.I forced myself to look away.I hated lying to him.But I needed to understand what my mother had meant before I said anything.When we finally reached the chapel, the night air hit my face.I breathed deeply.Freedom.Then I heard it.A howl.Far away.Another answered.Kael immediately started running toward the pack.“Come on!”I followed.But something felt wrong.The pack should have been louder.There should have been

CHAPTER 140: THE JOURNAL

KIARA’S POVI didn’t sleep.How could I?Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the drawing.Two children.One Gate.One of them destined to open it.And Kael had known about it.Not everything.But enough.Enough to understand that the prophecy existed.Enough to know that his father’s journal contained information about my sons.And he had never told me.I sat beside the twins’ cribs, watching them sleep.Rowan shifted beneath his blanket.Ryder made a tiny sound before settling again.I reached through the bars and touched Rowan’s forehead.“How am I supposed to protect you when everyone keeps secrets from me?”Neither of them answered.They couldn’t.They were babies.Innocent babies who had somehow become the center of a war they didn’t understand.I looked toward the door.Kael had been standing outside for almost an hour.He hadn’t tried to enter again.Perhaps he knew I needed space.Or perhaps he was hiding something else.That thought hurt.I hated that I was beginning to questi
