Chapter 52 - The CageLucien's P.O.V.I watched Diana walk into the forest as darkness finally settled over the trees. She had finally returned after dusk, and although she tried to hide how distracted she was, I knew exactly where she had been.I had known for hours.Vaughn had been missing as well, and Kael had been unusually protective of the situation. He had made it clear to everyone that nobody was to go looking for them. Perhaps he had understood that Diana needed those few hours alone with her mate.Or perhaps he simply knew that whatever had happened between them was none of our concern. Either way, I knew the truth. They had found their way back to each other.Again.And this time, I had no intention of stopping them.The realization hurt more than I wanted to admit. Diana once was the woman I had loved since our first life. Across centuries, across different identities and different circumstances, I had watched her find her way back to Vaughn again and again.Even in this l

Chapter 54 — The Mother My memory was disturbed by the sound of approaching footsteps.I was still sitting near the dying fire when one of the rogues approached me cautiously. He stopped a few steps away, waiting until I acknowledged him before speaking. “My King, the others wanted to know about our next schedule. Should we begin our journey back to Shadowfang at first light, or would you prefer that we leave earlier?”I looked past him toward the fire.Beyond the flames, Vaughn and Diana were sitting together on the fallen trunk of a huge tree, far enough from the rest of the group that they seemed to have forgotten anyone else existed. Kael had already left them alone some time ago, and neither of them appeared to have noticed when he disappeared.They were talking quietly.Every now and then, Diana smiled. And Vaughn smiled in return. They remained there as though the night belonged only to them, speaking about things I could not hear and sharing a kind of peace that I had spent l

Chapter 56 — The Mother I Thought I LostVaughn's P.O.V.I could not believe what I was seeing.The woman standing only a few meters away was covered from head to toe in a dark cloak, most of her body hidden beneath the shadows of the forest. Yet enough moonlight slipped through the branches to illuminate her face. And it was enough for me to recognize her.My mother.The woman who had given birth to me.For several seconds, I simply stood there, unable to move. Then I saw her eyes. They were pale, almost faded beneath the moonlight, but there was no mistaking them. They were still golden like mine.The same unmistakable color that had belonged to me since childhood.No one else could have known what those eyes meant to me. I had grown up believing that my entire world revolved around my mother. Before everything changed, before she disappeared and then died mysteriously, before my father died as well and I eventually inherited the Nightfang Pack, she had been the center of my childho

Chapter 58 — The Ceremony in the Kingdom of RoguesVaughn's P.O.V.For several seconds after Alpha Carter announced that the bonding ceremony would take place tonight, I simply stood there and stared at him.Tonight.He had said it with such certainty that it was obvious this was not a decision he had made moments ago.Someone had already been informed. Preparations had already begun. Whatever needed to be arranged had probably been set in motion before we even reached the border.I glanced at Diana.She looked just as surprised as I was. Something about that bothered me.Not the ceremony itself.I had wanted to bond with her for longer than I could remember. After everything we had survived, after every life in which fate had separated us, the thought of finally standing beside her and completing what had once been interrupted should have filled me with nothing but happiness.Instead, an uneasy feeling settled in my chest.I looked back at Alpha Carter. He was watching Diana with an

Chapter 60 — Beneath the Blood MoonDiana's P.O.V.By the time the sun disappeared behind the mountains, Shadowfang no longer looked like the ruined kingdom I had first entered.Torches burned along the broken walls, their flames dancing against the cold evening wind. The surviving towers had been decorated with silver ribbons and pale flowers, while long tables had been arranged throughout the courtyard for the wolves who had gathered from both Carter and Nightfang territories.For one night, the ruins were pretending to be alive again.But I could not shake the feeling that something was wrong. Perhaps it was because I knew too much now.I knew about the six lives. I knew about the prophecy too. I knew that the Moonborn power inside me was connected to something far older than any wolf, any kingdom, or any pack. And also I knew that Vaughn was changing.His golden eyes were no longer quite the same. Neither was our bond.The Blood Moon was rising tonight. And somewhere beneath all o
