LOGINKIARA'S POVThe moonlight poured into the sanctuary like liquid silver.It wasn't ordinary light….It pulsed…It breathed.Every ancient rune carved into the stone walls began glowing one after another until the entire chamber shimmered with an ethereal radiance.No one spoke.No one dared to move.The empty chest sat upon the pedestal, its lid fully open."It... it's empty," Liam whispered again."No," the witch doctor replied quietly."It never was."I looked at her."What do you mean?"She stepped toward the pedestal, her weathered fingers hovering just above the wood without touching it."This chest wasn't built to hide an object.""It was built to hide a doorway."Before I could ask what she meant, the ground trembled violently.Cracks raced across the circular floor, stopping just inches from where Kael stood.The moonlight converged into a single pillar directly in front of him.Within the light...A figure slowly began to take shape.Tall.Broad-shouldered.Dressed in ancient sil
KAEL'S POVSilence settled over the ancient chamber.The blue crystals embedded in the walls cast long shadows across the stone floor, making every face appear ghostlike.Seraphine stood at the entrance with her witches behind her, calm and patient.She wasn't holding a weapon.She wasn't preparing a spell.She simply smiled."I've waited eighteen years for this moment."My eyes never left hers."You murdered my father."Her smile faded."I did no such thing.""You expect me to believe that?""I expect nothing."She folded her hands in front of her."The truth has a way of revealing itself."Ronan stepped beside me."Don't listen to her.""I wasn't planning to."Seraphine laughed softly."You're still so much like your father."Olivia's expression hardened."Do not speak about him.""I knew him long before either of you did."The witch doctor raised her staff."Enough.""You've manipulated this family for years.""What do you want?"Seraphine's eyes drifted toward the stone chest rest
KAEL'S POVNo one touched the blackened rose.It lay in the center of the council table, its once-white petals curling inward as though something unseen had drained the life from it.The witch doctor stared at it with narrowed eyes."Don't."Liam had been reaching toward it.He immediately withdrew his hand."What is it?""A warning."She carefully circled the flower with a line of silver salt from a small pouch at her waist."It's carrying residual magic."Olivia frowned."Can it harm us?""No."The witch doctor shook her head."It has already served its purpose.""What purpose?" I asked.She looked up at me."To let us know that Seraphine can reach us anywhere."The room fell silent.Ronan finally broke it."Which means we leave now."I nodded."We've already wasted enough time."****An hour later...The eastern horizon was still dark as six horses rode silently through the forest.Myself.Kiara.Ronan.Liam.Olivia.The witch doctor.The rest of the warriors remained behind to gua
KAEL'S POVThe courtyard fell deathly silent.The silver pendant rested in Kiara's trembling hand, glinting beneath the moonlight.No one dared move.No one dared breathe.The witch doctor slowly approached, her eyes fixed on the pendant as though she had seen a ghost."It... it cannot be."Olivia frowned."What are you talking about?"The old woman swallowed hard."I forged this pendant myself."She gently took it from Kiara and turned it over.Engraved on the back was an ancient wolf crest surrounded by three crescent moons.A tiny crack ran along the left edge.The witch doctor closed her eyes."I remember this crack."Her voice was barely above a whisper."It happened the day your father was named Alpha."Kael stared at the pendant."You're certain?"She nodded."I buried it around his neck with my own hands."Olivia's face drained of colour."No...""I watched them seal the tomb.""So did I."The witch doctor looked equally shaken."Which means..."Liam finished the sentence for
KAEL'S POVThe black feather rested in my palm.Light.Harmless.Yet somehow it felt heavier than any weapon I had ever carried.Three nights. Come alone. Or lose everything.Those five words lingered in my mind as everyone gathered inside the council chamber.The fire crackled softly in the large stone fireplace, but no one paid it any attention.Liam paced back and forth.Olivia stood beside the window with her arms folded.The witch doctor remained unusually quiet.Even Ronan, who normally had an answer for everything, seemed deep in thought.Kiara stood beside me.Her hand rested in mine.The warmth of her touch reminded me that whatever decision I made...I wouldn't make it alone.Liam was the first to break the silence."It's a trap."Ronan nodded."Without question."Olivia turned around."So we ignore it.""No," the witch doctor replied.Everyone looked at her."If Seraphine wanted to attack us directly...""She already would have.""So why send a letter?" Kiara asked.The old
CHAPTER 103: NO MORE SECRETSKIARA'S POVThe nursery was finally quiet.Rowan and Ryder slept peacefully beneath the silver protective charms the witch doctor had placed around their cribs. Their tiny chests rose and fell in perfect rhythm, completely unaware of the conversations taking place outside their room.I quietly closed the nursery door behind me.The witch doctor's words continued to echo in my mind."The prophecy begins in three nights."I wasn't afraid of prophecies.I was afraid of the unknown.The Alpha House felt unusually empty.Ever since Kael had returned from the forest, he had thrown himself into strengthening the pack's defences. He barely rested, spending his days training warriors and his nights studying old maps and records with Ronan and the witch doctor.I understood why.But I missed him.Not the Alpha.Not the leader.My husband.I found him exactly where I expected.The training yard.The moon hung high above as Kael stood alone, swinging his sword against
KIARA'S POVIf anyone had told me there would be a day I would run so hard for my life, from the place I call home I would have run a sharp blade through their gut.“Stop her..” I couldn't hear her voice from behind me, desperate and shameless. She fucking killed my mother. The sky began to dark
KIARA'S POVI gripped the sheets so tight the moment he thrust deep into me.To hell with the moon goddess.“Arghh….” The sound escaped my lips before I could stop it.To hell with mate bonds and coven rules. I turned twenty-three today and still haven't gotten mated.I tried to keep clean….I rea
KAEL’S POV After the meeting I had with the elders in the pack asking me to give them an heir that would pass the wolf legacy down I decided to leave the pack for some days to free my head.But still I couldn’t get her off my mind. It's been four months and just a one night stand. All I knew was t
KIARA’S POVThis trip was never ending. It felt like we had been driving for days and I was getting really tired of it. One day was like the other. We would stop at gas stations, drive on highways and stay in motels that smelled like dust. All of this was for one person. Kael.We almost found Kael
