Chapter: Chapter 297: our kids are feralTalia's POV FIVE YEARS LATER The house was loud. Not the kind of loud that came with danger or panic, the kind that came with chaos, children, and one absolutely unhinged uncle. I leaned against the kitchen doorway, pinching the bridge of my nose as a high-pitched shriek echoed through the hall. "MILO! TELL THEM TO LEAVE MY WOLF PLUSHIE ALONE!" That was Rowan, my son. One half of the twins. He was wild like fire, sharp like a blade and stubborn like... well, me. "No!" his sister Aria snapped back. "It's mine now! You said I could hold it!" "I SAID YOU COULD HOLD IT, NOT KIDNAP IT!" Before I could intervene, Nicole popped out from behind the couch holding a tray of cookies and wearing a ridiculous apron. "Children!" he announced dramatically. "You must learn the ways of negotiation. Aria, demand concessions. Rowan, threaten war. This is very simple." "Nicole," I groaned, "stop encouraging them." "Encouraging?" Nicole gasped, fake-offended."I'm educating them. These are val

Chapter: Chapter 296: you’re stuck with me foreverTalia’s POV I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. “Is it like a wedding?”Nicole sighed, rolling his eyes for what had to be the hundredth time that day. “No, Talia.” He spun me around by the shoulders till I was facing him. “It’s a Luna coronation.”“I didn’t know that was a thing.” I whispered, playing with my dress. I felt an unusual stir of nerves.“It is. It’s ancient culture, not completely necessary but…” he trailed off. “It’s cute, I guess. Cassian had been planning one for you before…”Right.I straightened. But the nerves in my stomach didn’t die down.“You’re going to be alright,” Nicole reassured softly. “The pack loves you, you’re their hero.”I scoffed.“I don’t need their love.”Not after they abandoned me and turned their backs to me when I needed them the most.“You’ll grow to love them.”“I won’t.”He opened his mouth to argue when the door pushed open. Katherine’s head popped in. “It’s time.”I nodded. I looked at Nicole one last time.“W

Chapter: Chapter 295: thank you for being my friendCassian’s POV“So Mason, huh?”Nicole’s head snapped up, uncertainty flickering across his face.“Yeah,” he mumbled almost sheepishly. “I know he’s your nemesis and all, but—”I crossed my arms, leaning against the kitchen wall.Talia was still asleep—after I’d thoroughly worn her out last night—so I’d taken the opportunity to talk to Nicole.My best friend.“It doesn’t matter what he is to me,” I shrugged. “What matters is what he is to you.”His eyes widened slightly.“Does he make you happy?”Silence stretched between us.Nicole’s expression shifted slowly—surprise, longing, relief, happiness.Then finally—Something softer.Something almost sad.My chest tightened painfully.“Yeah,” he whispered. “He does.”I nodded once, an unfamiliar ache settling in my chest.We both knew what that meant.I wanted to argue. Wanted to convince him not to leave.Wanted to selfishly ask him to stay.But I couldn’t.Not when the heaviness that had haunted him for months was finally gone.Not when h

Chapter: Chapter 294: you caused a bit of troubleTalia’s POV“How long was I out?” I asked Cassian as I pulled my clothes on.After another day hidden away in the woods, wrapped in each other, he had mindlinked someone to bring us clothes.He shrugged lazily from where he leaned against the tree, his arms coming around my waist the second I stepped close enough.“Two days?” He mumbled, pressing a slow kiss to my lips.I opened my mouth to respond, but he took the opportunity to deepen the kiss, his tongue slipping into my mouth like he couldn’t help himself.A soft sound escaped me before I could stop it.I kissed him back instinctively, my hands flattening against his chest.I didn’t know whether to push him away or pull him impossibly closer.His hand tangled in my hair as the heat between us thickened.I moaned quietly, feeling warmth pool low in my stomach.My wolf stirred hungrily.“Cass,” I breathed against his mouth. “We have to stop.”He stepped forward anyway, crowding into my space until my back hit the rough bark of the t

Chapter: Chapter 293: your mark is goneTalia’s POVThe stretch was exquisite—almost too much, yet exactly what I needed. We both cried out, the bond singing between us as he filled me completely. For a second we stayed like that, joined as deeply as two beings could be, trembling with the intensity of it.Then he started moving. It was slow at first, giving me a moment to get used to the fullness again. After so long without him, my body had almost forgotten what it was like to be filled up. But the slow pace wasn’t enough for me. My wolf clawed harder. “Cass,’ I gasped, “more.”That one word was all it took. I could see the moment his restraint snapped, and he pulled out, almost completely. Then plunged in.Hard. Deep.A scream tore out of my throat, my hands coming up to his back, my nails digging into his skin.His pace was relentless.Each thrust slammed into me with the force of a man who had almost lost everything. I wrapped my legs around his waist, my heels digging into his back, urging him deeper. My nai

Chapter: Chapter 292Talia’s POV I didn’t know how long we remained in that position. And I didn’t care to know. I was with my mate. His arms wrapped tightly around me, grounding me in reality. The warmth radiating off him seeped into my bones. His scent was stronger now, drowning out the scent of the forest around us. And the feel of his skin against mine— Goddess. It was different. Stronger. More intense. Like the bond had rooted itself deeper beneath my skin. My breath caught in my throat. “Are you okay?” he murmured softly. “You almost died.” I pulled back slightly, just enough to look at him. His warm eyes were already on me. Filled with concern. Fear. Relief. He frowned slightly. “Your eyes,” he whispered. “They’re green again.” Oh. Something settled heavily in my chest. Something dangerously close to disappointment. His gaze slowly drifted downward, settling on my sternum where the Goddess’ mark had once rested. His fingers brushed over the spot gently. “It’s gone too.” I

Chapter: Chapter 28: you poisoned what’s mineFive's POVI came back to myself slowly.The drug hadn't left my body fully. I could still feel it humming low under my skin, could still feel the ache between my legs—duller now but not gone, my limbs were heavy in a way that wasn't entirely exhaustion. Sunlight filtered in through the curtains, pale and grey.The King wasn't in the room, and I was grateful for that. I didn't think I could face him with the memory of what happened last night still burning in my head. I sat up slowly, my head still thick. The King had witnessed me touching myself to the thoughts of him. The humiliation burned in my veins, but beneath it was something else. He had me. I had wanted him to fuck me, yet he had restrained himself. The thought of it made something shift in my chest. Something almost warm. Then I heard it.Voices.It came from somewhere below, carried up through the floorboards in tones too sharp to be casual conversation.I didn't think. I slid off the bed, my legs unsteady, and m

Chapter: Chapter 27: suck on itFive’s POVThe room was dark.The King had gone out a while ago to do goddess knows what.I sat on the bed.Waiting.The drug hadn’t worn out yet. My skin still felt too hot, my mind too hazy, and the space between my legs…Goddess.It ached.I wanted a release—I needed a release.And my mind—my traitorous mind—kept drifting back to the king. It didn’t help that his scent was thick in the air, wrapping me in a haze of its own.I moaned—a soft, frustrated sound.Then my hand moved.It went to my neck, pressing two fingers against my hot skin.Then slowly, it trailed down. Moving past my sternum—the ghost of a touch in the space between my boobs, then down my stomach.I moaned, arching my back.Then they reached my opening, the place I needed them the most.I shut my eyes.My finger rubbed my clit, earning a gasp from my lips.The pressure was too much, the ache too deep. I circled faster, biting my lip as heat coiled low in my belly. But it wasn’t enough. I needed more—needed him.In

Chapter: Chapter 26: her duties are to meFive’s POVI heard a loud string of curse words behind me. My vision blurred with tears and fatigue. But I pushed through it, desperate to get out of here. I’d escaped the king. I couldn’t let a repulsive Allha breed me. I couldn’t. I pushed the back door open—And slammed straight into a rock hard chest. Warmth immediately engulfed me, familiar and almost comforting. I clung to it instinctively, refusing to let go.But the King pulled me away. I swallowed.“Now,” he started, “didn’t your time in the dungeon teach you to behave?”My throat clogged. I opened my mouth but closed it back, unable to form comprehensive words. My vision blurred with tears. The fear and adrenaline still thrummed in my veins, making it hard to focus. “I—I didn’t—” I fisted his shirt, frustrated. His eyes narrowed slightly.He studied me for a long moment, those sharp grey eyes piercing through my very soul. Then they darkened. His grip on my shoulder tightened slightly. “My King,” a soft, fem

Chapter: Chapter 25: don’t you like to get knotted upFive's POVI didn't get the chance to process what I had just heard before Mye was pulling me to my feet again. I staggered slightly, my head feeling a bit hazy. A dull ache throbbed behind my eyes, and my limbs felt heavier with every step. I frowned, resting my hand against my forehead. "Let me show you around," Mye hummed oblivious to the growing fatigue dragging at my bones.Staying up all night on that cold floor was finally catching up to me. She pulled me out the room and towards the back of the building."How old are you?" Mye asked.I glanced at her, watching. "Eighteen."She didn't react. But something about her aura had changed. Her green eyes had hardened, and her once relaxed shoulders now seemed tense. The pack house was eerily quiet. Empty. "Where are you taking me?" I stopped in my tracks. Her grip on my wrist tightened slightly. "Didn't the facility teach you the rules?" She purred, but her voice was different now, carrying an undertone of something danger

Chapter: Chapter 24: a dead languageFive's POVI sat in the small cell I was allocated to, my mind still reeling from everything that had happened that morning.The temple. The stone slab.The prophecy. The translation sitting at the back of my mind. "Hello?" I gasped, my hand coming up to my chest."I didn't mean to scare you."I looked up.A woman stood there, her silver hair pulled back in a ponytail, her green eyes pinned on me. "You're the first slave I've been able to sneak up on," she said. I'd bet I was the first slave able to translate a damn prophecy too."Forgive my manners," she straightened. "I'm Mye, the Luna."I stiffened. "Don't!" She called out, stopping me before I could bow. "You can skip the formalities. I'm not here to assert dominance."She chuckled, wiping her hands on her dress as though she were nervous. "I just wanted to apologize for the..." she glanced around distastefully, "the room?"Room. I was given a damn cell without a bed. But I didn't say that, didn't say anything. A high r

Chapter: Chapter 23: the prophecyFive's POV I gasped, my eyes scanning the area. The entire temple shook, dirt and debris falling from the already weakened stones. My heart thundered, fear clogging my throat. "It's coming apart," I breathed, already moving toward the exit. But a guard stepped in front of me, stopping me cold. "Stop," he ordered. It wasn't the word itself but the tone—flat, almost bored—and the expression on his face that made me pause. He looked unimpressed. Almost embarrassed for me. I frowned, turning to inspect my surroundings. No one had moved. Not the guards. Not Alpha Titus, who stood near the altar's edge with his hands clasped behind his back. Not the priestess, who hadn't even looked up. And not the King. He stood exactly where he had been standing, his eyes trained on me, matching the guard's unimpressed expression. Then slowly, they drifted, fixing on something across the altar. Then his body went still as stone. The rumbling moved through the ground beneath our fee

Chapter: Chapter 101The forest had swallowed us whole.For three days, Amaya and I had moved through the trees like shadows, bruised and starving, every step a battle against the ache in our bones. The fire that had gutted the hall was long behind us, but the scent of smoke still clung to my hair, my skin, my memories. I could feel it every time I closed my eyes.We hadn't stopped long enough to rest properly. Sleep came in fits, stolen in hollows and shallow caves, broken by the crack of branches or the distant cry of wolves. Hunger gnawed at us, but worse than that was the silence, Ciro's silence. That empty place where my bond had once burned was a wound that no amount of running could heal.By the third day, my legs moved on will alone. My body screamed to give up, but Amaya was relentless. She pulled me forward with the same iron grip she'd had that night, refusing to let me collapse into the dirt."Jas," she whispered as we trudged along a narrow path littered with pine needles. Her voice was hoars

Chapter: Chapter 100The night smelled of smoke and blood.My lungs burned with every breath as Amaya and I stumbled through the trees, the glow of fire behind us staining the sky red. The hall was gone, swallowed by the destruction I'd unleashed, but I could still hear the chaos, the howls, the screams, the furious cries of those who'd survived.And they would come for us.Branches whipped against my face as I ran, but my legs were heavy, my body barely holding itself together. Amaya was beside me, her arm looped under mine, dragging more than guiding. She was bruised, battered, bleeding from her temple, but her grip was iron."Don't stop," she hissed through clenched teeth. "Not yet. Keep moving."I wanted to tell her I couldn't. That my ribs felt like they'd been shattered, that my heart was ripping itself apart with every beat. But I couldn't form the words. My mouth was dry, my throat raw, my chest tight.And worse, my mark was gone.I reached for it again, like I had a hundred times since Duncan sho

Chapter: Chapter 99They didn't even bother to speak to me when they came. Just a group of maids, their eyes hollow, their grips iron. They stripped me out of the rags I'd been left in and shoved me into a gown, long, white, mocking purity. My body screamed with every tug of fabric against my bruises, but I bit down on the pain and stayed silent.The dress wasn't for me, work for me. It was for him.When they were done, they wrenched my arms behind my back, rope biting into my wrists. Two of them dragged me through the corridors. The air reeked of smoke and sweat, of fear, and something darker that made my skin crawl.They threw open the doors to a vast hall. The hall was brightly lit with a huge chandelier. The room was filled with wolves, rogues, council defectors, faces twisted with eagerness to watch. And at the centre, on a dais like a king, sat Duncan.He smiled when he saw me.The crowd quieted as I was shoved forward, stumbling until I dropped to my knees before him. My wrists burned against the

Chapter: Chapter 98The door opened, and I didn't even have the strength to turn. My body ached, my ribs screamed with every breath, and my mind was still unraveling from Duncan's poisonous words.Then I heard a laugh, sharp and cold. It twisted my insides. Tilda.She strolled inside as though she owned the place, her heels clicking against the floor in a deliberate rhythm. She took her time, circling me like a predator toying with prey."Look at you," she sneered. "The great Luna curled up like a beaten dog. I almost pity you." She crouched, her face inches from mine, her eyes gleaming with cruel delight. "Almost."I finally raised my head, slowly, intentionally. My face was swollen, my lips split from biting back the tears, but I forced the corners of my mouth into the faintest smile. "Is this what you do to feel important? Kick around the broken?"Her smirk faltered, just for a second.I leaned into it. "Duncan keeps you around because you're useful, not because you matter. You're a tool, Tilda. Not

Chapter: Chapter 97"Ciro?" My voice was barely a whisper, my throat closing around the name. He didn't stir.Isabella shook him harder, her hands trembling. "Wake up! Damn it, Ciro, wake up!" Her sobs cracked through the air, raw and jagged, the sound of someone breaking. Tears streaked her cheeks as she pressed her forehead to his chest, her cries echoing down the hall.I couldn't move. Couldn't breathe. My body felt like stone, rooted to the floor, staring at the sight that shouldn't—couldn't—be real. My heart slammed against my ribs so hard I thought it would split open."What... what happened?" I whispered, but no one heard me. Or maybe no one cared to answer."Jasmine!"Amaya's voice cut through the haze, sharp and urgent. Suddenly she was there, grabbing my arm, yanking me back from the nightmare. "We have to go—now!"I stumbled after her, numb, my feet barely keeping up as she dragged me through the corridors. The walls blurred, Isabella's cries still ringing in my ears, carved into my bones."No

Chapter: Chapter 96The room suddenly became stiff, small, almost closing in on me. Time slowed down drastically and my breathing became heavier.I felt it, being yanked out of my body suddenly and thrown towards the door. I shut my eyes, expecting to collide with the door but instead, I heard... sobs?My eyes flew open automatically, a sudden breeze hitting me. I wasn't in my room anymore.I was outside, where I had left them.Ciro was there, collapsed on the ground, his body limp, his face pale. My chest caved at the sight, the air torn from my lungs. Isabella was beside him, cradling his head, her sobs cutting through the silence like jagged glass.What?"No” The word ripped out of me, raw and desperate. I lurched forward, every instinct screaming to reach him, to touch him, to stop this, whatever it was. But my feet wouldn't move fast enough, like the air had thickened into water, dragging me back.The grass beneath me blurred, Isabella's sobs echoing, repeating, as if the world itself had narrowed t
