登入Evelyn's POVThe sun burned down on the burial ground. Only rogues and thieves were buried at this hour.And here I was, weak and powerless, forced to bury my son.My hands shook as I gripped the shovel. The ground refused to open. Without my wolf, I was nothing. I pressed harder, forcing myself to keep the tears from falling.The guard supervising me spat to the side and shoved me into the sand.“Faster, bitch.”I flinched, about to challenge him, but lowered my eyes. This is what omegas do.But one question kept ringing in my head.Why was I reborn when Kai cut the ties?In a century, only one wolf was given the grace to be reborn. Why did the Goddess pick me despite being cursed by my mate? And strangely, I had been reborn in the body of another.Slowly, I picked up the fragile body of my son, laid him in the ground, and began covering him with dirt.“Don't cry,” I consoled myself.When I was done, I stared at the mound of fresh earth.“My baby is down there.”The words barely left
Chapter Seventy-NineAURELIA EVERDAWNI woke up with the taste of blood on my tongue and the pain of my sister's sword between my ribs.The scent of grey candles and blood orange drifted through my old chambers. I sat up. I was back to the day of the mate-selection, the day I chose my mate.Heaving a sigh of relief, I rubbed my hands on my temple when I heard the loud moans come through the corridor.I sat up fast. The moans came from the guest suite left for the dragon heir, which, in my previous life, had remained empty until after the ceremony.I stepped out only in my thin linen shift, with no makeup. In my previous life, I'd spent an hour fussing over my appearance, desperate to look worthy of Theron, but not now.I pushed the door open without knocking and there lay my sister, Vesper, her hair disheveled, lips swollen, and dress half-torn from her shoulders.Her body sprawled across the broad chest of Theron, the heir to the Pyraxis Dominion. His silver-black hair spilled over t
Chapter 18Evelyn's Pov"Let go of me." I yelled, trying to break free from the hand. When I suddenly felt something shift in me. My temper. Shit."Rita, hey it's just me." Mira's voice said. I struggled to my feet now and a torch flew past my shoulder and hit the snow.Steam rose where it touched. I stumbled backwards.Mira pulled me up immediately."Don't stop," she said.My lungs burned and my legs didn't feel like mine anymore.We broke through into the outer tree line. They were still coming. They wanted me dead. The people always rejected me in every form. Now it felt like a pattern.Mira pulled me behind a fallen log."Stay down," she said. I tried to steady my breathing.But my body wasn't cooperating the way I needed it to."I can't keep doing this," I whispered.Mira looked at me. "Then don't think about them, just try to survive first."The mob chased us through the snow. Someone released their wolf, and its growl echoed through the trees, muffled by the heavy snowpack.I c
Chapter 77Elara's PovThat was the last thing I remembered. Everything coming down on me. But I didn't remember standing up or walking past the fallen vanity table, neither did I remember the shards of glass cutting my feet. Didn't remember opening the door.But I was moving with my bare feet against the cold wet floor. Someone had spilled water. Or maybe I was bleeding. I couldn't tell. I couldn't see, I just kept walking."Come." The whisper came from everywhere. Inside my head. Outside my window. Beneath my skin, everywhere I turned, I heard the whisper. It followed me."Come." It didn't stop, neither did I. My legs kept moving. I tried to stop, but my body wouldn't listen."Come." It called again when I got to the hallway. And the hallway stretched before me, but I couldn't see it. But I could feel the walls were closer than before and the air was thinner. I expected the guards to stop me from walking, but they didn't stop me.I passed them and heard their breathing, it was very
Chapter 76 Elara's PovRowan had been around me yesterday. I didn't know how much I needed his presence, it helped me a lot.When I woke up, the room was dark. I couldn't see and it took me almost five seconds to remember I was blind. I had forgotten. I reached for the lamp, but my hand found empty air.The realization hit all over again. It was fresh. I felt the exact fear I felt the first time. So I won't see my pups when I bear them?I was really blind. Maybe forever blind.Rowan was gone. I felt the cold space beside the bed where he had slept on the floor. His scent still lingered. But he wasn't here.I sat up slowly. My hand went to my stomach. The pups kicked softly, like they knew I was scared."At least you can see," I whispered. "One of us should."~~||~~||~~I needed water. I swung my legs over the side of the bed. My feet touched the cold floor. I stood, there was nothing in front of me. Good. But when I took a step.My shin slammed into the bedside table. Pain shot throu
Chapter 75 Rowan's PovThe council lodge was silent now. The elders lay unconscious at my feet. Their bodies were still, their breathing shallow. I had kept my promise. No one was dead.But something else was here. I froze and looked around me."Who's there? Show yourself."No one answered. Just quiet."Rowan." The voice called again and this time it didn't come from the door, the windows or even behind me. It came from everywhere.My Beta suddenly mind linked me. Something was wrong. I couldn't hear him speak. All I heard was static noise. The static cleared. I knew where it had gone. Back to the bodies I left behind.I felt the presence leave the room and knew at that point the spirit had left and was back at the council's lodge. I ran towards the lodge and there, my men were all over the floor. I ran towards Matthias, but he was all bloodied and weak.I felt the presence again and when I turned, the eldest elder's body suddenly jerked. His back arched and his eyes snapped open.Bu
Chapter 30 Elara's Pov A bag slammed over my head. The impact hit me, and I woke up with a start. But my eyes were too heavy to open. No matter how hard I struggled, they wouldn't budge.Cold seeped into my bones. Wherever I was, it was cold. Or was I dead?Marcus. He had stabbed me with a silver
Chapter 29Rowan's POV (Two days ago)The moment my Beta's voice crackled through the link… "Alpha, Cassian's convoy is at the border," I knew I was done for.It wasn't because I feared him, or because his warriors outnumbered mine, nor because his reputation preceded him like a plague. I knew I wa
Chapter 27 Eliza's Pov(Dual Pov) I stared at the woman I had served twelve years ago. Three years younger than me. We had grown up like sisters… except she had never been nice. Not like Elara. They were total opposites.One night, Elara came crying on my shoulder."She is too mean." Despite how
Chapter 26 (Dual Pov)Eliza’s Pov (Elara's Gamma)"No, no, she can't be dead. Elara can't be dead."The words scraped out of my throat. For the first time I've spoken since the night I was captured, my own voice sounded foreign to me.It was raw and shredded from hours of screaming in this dark roo
