Chapter 32 — The Prison BeneathVaughn's P.O.V.Darkness.That was the first thing I felt.Not pain.Not fear.Only darkness.It surrounded me from every direction, thick and suffocating, as though I had been buried alive beneath the earth.I tried to open my eyes.Nothing changed.Black. Everything was black before my eyes. For several seconds, I couldn't understand whether my eyes were actually open or still trapped inside some nightmare.Then I breathed.And immediately regretted it.The smell hit me.Rotten earth.Mud.Stagnant water.Something foul that reminded me of a gutter left untouched for years.My stomach turned.Where the hell was I?I tried to move.Pain exploded through my entire body.A strangled groan escaped my throat.My muscles screamed.My ribs felt as though they had been crushed beneath a mountain, and every breath sent another sharp wave through my chest.I tried to lift my arm.Metal scraped against stone.Clink.My eyes widened.Something cold was wrapped a

Chapter 34 - Pure Wolf BloodLucien's P. O. V.I feel like I've told her far too much in a single day. Perhaps I should stop now.Diana will learn the truth eventually anyway.The path toward destruction has already begun. Her powers have partially awakened. And the first door has opened.Yes.I know.I knew almost everything that happened to Diana.Not because she had told me.But because sometimes, through the bond that had survived across lifetimes, her emotions reached me.Fear.Pain.Love.Fragments, never the complete picture.And thats how I knew the exact moment she caused the first door to open.That was when I understood there was no turning back.She would have to be ready.Ready to remember the truth about the six life cycles we had lived through...And died in.Six lifetimes.Six endings.And somehow, every time, we found our way back to each other. In one life, we were mates; in others, we were friends; and in the rest, we were enemies. But no matter what we were to each

Chapter 36 - The Golden EyesDiana's P. O. V.The Shadow Moon Temple stood at the top of the hill. And somehow, the closer we got to it, the less it felt like a place we were approaching. Instead it felt more like something was waiting for us there. For me. I looked up again. The temple was enormous. Ancient.Its once-grand stone walls had been darkened by centuries of rain, wind, and neglect. Thick vines crawled over the outer walls, wrapping around broken pillars and cracked statues whose faces had long since been worn away.There were no guards. No torches. No sounds coming from within.Nothing.Yet I could feel it. A strange pressure settled over my skin the moment my paws touched the first stone step. My wolf immediately became alert.As if she knew this place. Or perhaps...Some part of me did.I shifted back into my human form, and the wolves behind me followed one after another. Kael was the first to reach my side. His eyes immediately moved across the entrance. Then he fro

Chapter 38 - She Wasn't Diana AnymoreLucien's P.O.V.The atmosphere tensed as Martha's silence tonight stirred something dangerous inside Diana unknowingly. And then... I watched Diana take her first step toward the temple."Move." One word from her was enough for Martha to know that she failed. Failed to stop the coming destruction. And Diana didn't seem to have any patience to wait. But something about the way she moved had changed. This time she wasn't hesitating anymore, nor was she asking questions or looking back at any of us. Her eagerness to find Vaughn had finally collided with Martha's desperate warning that the old dungeon wasn't a place she should enter.As far as I know, Diana had never been someone who willingly turned away when the truth was dangerous. If anything, the warning only made her more determined.And now, I could feel her anger building already.But it wasn't simply anger.Something much deeper was beginning to surface from beneath her fear, confusion, and

Chapter 40The Secret of the MoonbornDiana's P.O.V.This time I was standing outside the courtroom when I heard Lucien's name.I had been on my way to find him.After everything that had happened earlier, I had expected to see him somewhere in the palace, probably surrounded by his advisors or buried beneath another pile of royal matters. Instead, I found myself standing outside the enormous doors of the royal courtroom.The doors were not completely closed. A narrow gap remained between them. And through that narrow gap, I could hear voices from inside.But something about their conversation stopped me in my tracks before I could even announce my presence. I waited.Something about the tone made me hesitate. I know I wasn't supposed to be listening. Whatever was happening inside appeared to be a private meeting between the king and his council. But then I heard one of the council members mention the word that immediately caught my attention."Moonborn."My heart skipped a beat in a
