she yelled. "Silence," Gustavan muttered, they complied. Julia tsked. "The girl, unknowingly, made an important point. Something far more than the breach is happening. It could be possible that Welkin is experiencing the genesis of war." Silence. "And Earth may get caught in the middle of it all," he thought out loud. "We all know that Welkin has five kings. All are blood brothers. General Perez, see more about the History of Welkin in the archives. Search for some instances where Earth had been involved with Welkin warfare---"

It was a sign that we had to move to the field immediately. We quickly left the room to join the ranks. Chaz ordered us all to be quiet and check our weapons. As usual, I always brought my crossbow and rifle. After the assignment, my squad, squad four, had to explore an area called Windstone. The coldest and loneliest area in the west of York bordered by the Greenleaves forest, and if you walked further south, you would see the ruins of Willeth. There were no humans living in this area due to its poor condition, and even animals were rarely seen in this place.

Melvin knelt on the floor, face wet with tears. "Mr. Lynch, the Four Noble Lineages of Easton attacked Celestial Sanctum, and now the headquarters has been invaded!" Melvin said, wiping his tears. Caspian's face sank. As the Diatoranian God of War, he had fought in wars for years. He had witnessed many tricks and schemes, many despicable and cunning people. However, he did not expect the Four Noble Lineages to do this behind his back!

It showed a raw rock, matte and opaque, glowing a deep, interior purple as if lit from within. “What… what is this?” Imani asked, leaning forward, breathless. The chunk of stone, opaque and faintly shimmering violet, pulsed on the screen as if alive. “That’s not gold,” Jade murmured, her voice trembling with fascination. “It’s something else entirely.” “It’s beautiful,” Imani whispered. “Dangerous is beautiful sometimes,” Jade replied, zooming in closer. “Celestium,” she read out, her voice barely a whisper. Imani reached out, her fingertips brushing the holographic image as if she could feel its texture.

“And when this war comes, I want you beside me. Not fighting me.” The tension crackled. Celeste’s lips parted. For one heartbeat, she thought he might kiss her again, properly this time. Instead, a new voice echoed from the chamber entrance. “Careful, Alpha. Some secrets are better left buried.” Seraphine stood at the top of the stairs, her sharp amber eyes taking in the scene. Celeste pressed against the wall, Kaelan caging her in, the dormant markings all around them. She descended gracefully, her short cropped hair catching the torchlight. “I see you’ve found

Chapter Fourteen: The Second Betrayal The world slowed to a crawl as Lyra locked eyes with the figure she thought had been dead—Celeste. Her heart stuttered. The woman was no phantom. She stood tall amidst the burning ridge, bathed in the glow of crimson flames, her raven-black hair streaming behind her like a banner of war. Her once-beautiful face was now lined with something cold and inhuman. And in her eyes burned a knowing gleam—a cruel echo of familiarity.

Celeste closed her eyes for a moment, absorbing the weight of his words. “And Arden?” she asked. “Do you think she knows she’s being used?” “I don’t think she’s clueless,” Damien said. “But I don’t think she’s the mastermind, either. Someone wants this war. She’s just the weapon.” Celeste turned her gaze to the window, the moonlight carving silver shapes into the ocean below. Her voice was low but certain. “Then let them come. I won’t fight dirty, Damien. But I will fight smart.”

Then Marcus shouted. “CELeste!” She turned. A guard had entered the glass control area. He was reaching toward her father's containment chamber. Celeste's expression changed. “No.” She ran. Lucien followed. Marcus covered them. Celeste reached the control panel and slammed her hand against it. The screen immediately responded. PRIMARY SUBJECT DETECTED. SECONDARY SUBJECT DETECTED. BEGINNING SYNCHRONIZATION. Celeste stared. “Stop.” The system ignored her. She typed rapidly. “Come on…”

“She has the Pact.” The figure leaned forward. He wore no mark but his eyes held stars. “Then it’s time,” he said. “The Celestial War begins again.” The wind howled like a warning. Aria stepped in front of Kael, her body still pulsing with the aftershock of her mark’s power. The battlefield lay in ruin behind them Zane defeated, the Phantom wolves fading like mist, the Bloodhowl Pack barely standing. But now… something older has come. The Sealed Alpha.

He turned the body over, revealing a jagged symbol carved into the chest — a serpent coiled around a crescent moon. My stomach dropped. “You’re kidding.” “The Serpent Crest,” Damien said grimly. “I thought they were extinct.” “They were,” Sebastian said. “Until now.” I groaned. “Of course. Because things weren’t apocalyptic enough.” Celeste stood still, her face unreadable — but her eye. There was something haunted there. Like she knew more than she wanted to admit. And for a second — just one — she looked less like a noblewoman and more like someone who’d walked through hell before.
