he breathed out. I began moving back and forth, working my hand in unison. I looked up, meeting Ferrin’s eyes that were fully yellow with his lycan pushing forward. I picked up my pace, watching his eyes close, and his head fell back on his shoulders with a low moan. I pushed a little farther with each bob of my head, making sure to relax my throat when needed. His hand moved to the back of my head, gripping my hair tightly as his jaw clenched, breathing faster.

“Can you sense Circe? She is gone—really gone. Please, can you connect with her or call her back?” “I have, Blake. Her presence is still within you, Lydia, but her scent... it seems different. She’s there, but I don't know what happened. She will likely come back,” Athena replied. Blake sighed, and Lydia looked up at her, hope shining in her eyes. “She is still inside you; Athena says she might just be recovering or sleeping. But she’s there. Have hope, sis; she will be back.” Lydia's eyes brightened. “Are you sure? Athena told you that?”

He turned to look at the other Alpha, Denver, who was curled in a ball, his body jerking as he fitted, foaming at the mouth, my Lycan poison working its way quickly through his bloodstream. 'Dying?' Midnight mind-linked me, and I nodded, trotting away from him and stepping daintily off the dias without a backward glance to the dying Alpha. 'Let's go.' I said to him, and he followed me, walking past the stunned Pack members who could only stand around helplessly watching their Alpha's demise.

“Have they been hiding their true nature from you all this time?” “I... I don’t understand.” “Some are bitten. They change later. Hybrids. Half human. Half beast. But you... you were born this way. You’re a Pureblood. A true Lycan. And your ichor, your blood, carries traits of a lineage I don’t even recognize. That intrigues me. Fascinates me. I thought I’d seen everything. But you… you’re different.” Everything around me started spinning. The forest, the sky, the leaves, all of it whirled. My stomach turned, my feet lost the ground. I felt like I was about to fall. To faint. To vanish inside myself.

“An aether dragon. Speak your name human, I can sense the presence of your guardians.” “I am Manolya Kara,” I answered cautiously. “And my companions are Aziz and Pareia.” “Little human, are you ready to fight then?” The dragon’s voice echoed directly inside my head, etching its heavy words inside my heart. I could feel the immense weight of him, the raw, ancient power vibrating through the air, and I nodded, keeping my voice as steady as possible as I answered, “I am ready.” With a deep inhale, Atherius breathed in a massive stream of aether energy from the crisp mountain air, completely filling its lungs.

Emily replied. "But it's dangerous you can't come with us Please understand," Liam said. "There are no words that will stop me from coming with you, I don't care to lose my life But, I will definitely come with you." Emily replied. Seeing how adamant she look, Liam had no choice but to allow her, he knew his words can't convince her. They joined Alpha Jefferson in his car as he removed a very big sharp sword. "I had let him go years ago but touching Delorna, he has crossed all his limits."

The sight of Max's transformation was both beautiful and terrifying, and she couldn't take her eyes off of him. As she sat there watching in stunned silence, unable to stand, scream or run. Max turned his fierce gaze towards the Lycan. The two beasts circled each other, growling and snarling, without Max stepping far from Lily. Each of them was waiting for the other to make a move. Lily watched, transfixed, as Max's muscles rippled under his fur and his sharp teeth glinted in the moonlight. It felt like a nightmare, it couldn’t be real, could it?

Chapter 13 Alpha Rogan's POV Councilor André got up from the ground and looked me in the eyes. His mouth was bloody and as he tried to stand straight, he groaned in pain. He looked at the other councilors and they looked at him, their eyes telling him not to say a word. He ignored them and turned to me again. "Long ago, when I was young, I hadn't found my mate. I was destined to not find anyone as a mate. I explored the ancient Lycan archive's and discovered a way to by-pass the will of the Moon-Goddess and get any mate of my choice."

"Revenge, my dear. Pure, unadulterated revenge. Seraphina wronged me long before she ever crossed your path." Orion frowned. "But what makes you think she won't double-cross you? She's known for her cunning and deceit." Malachi's voice grew cold, "Because this time, I have something she desperately wants." He extended his hand, revealing a small, shimmering vial filled with a liquid that seemed to pulse with life. "The Essence of Aether." Liora gasped. The Essence of Aether was a legend — a potion rumored to amplify a person's powers tenfold.

“Vincent’s preparing to breach the Eastern Veil in less than a month. He’s finally gathered enough high-blooded essence to trigger the full awakening.” Lily stood slowly, rage behind her elegant restraint. “And what’s behind it?” Lucas hesitated before speaking. “A being. not a god, not a wolf. It’s something older. It’s called Aethryn.” She froze. The name was one she had only seen in the oldest of texts. A forbidden prophecy. “If what I've read is true then Aethryn’s release would obliterate both realms,” she whispered. “Exactly,” Lucas said. “Which is why I sent you coordinates. There’s a chamber under Vincent’s stronghold, sealed with old-world bindings. If you get in, you can cut the te
