MasukMila’s POVI had been sitting in the same position for so long that my legs had begun to feel numb.Yet I did not move.I remained seated on the chair near the window, my hands resting loosely in my lap while my eyes remained fixed on the bright afternoon outside.The city looked peaceful from where I sat.The sunlight poured through the large window and spread warmly across the room, illuminating the furniture, the curtains, and every other object within my sight.But somehow, I could not feel the warmth.My mind was too occupied.No matter how hard I tried to think about something else, my thoughts always returned to the same person.Alpha Caden.My father.I slowly exhaled.Weeks had passed since Logan told me that my father had escaped from prison.I still remembered the moment I first heard the news.For a brief moment, I had been so happy that I could barely contain myself.My father was free.He was no longer trapped behind iron bars.He was no longer confined inside a cold pri
CHAPTER 114Dorian’s POV“Sera!”My voice echoed through the chamber.“Sera, wake up!”I gripped her shoulders and shook her gently at first.Then harder.Her body remained completely limp.For one terrifying moment, I could not breathe.“Sera!”I shook her again.Nothing.Her head fell slightly to the side, her eyes remained closed, and her body offered no response whatsoever.A terrifying thought immediately entered my mind.No.I refused to accept it.“Sera, please!”My hands trembled as I held her.Only moments ago, she had been standing beside me.We had both been staring at the strange carvings that had suddenly appeared on the wall.The symbols had emerged from nowhere.A blinding light had filled the room.And then Sera had collapsed.Just like that.I had caught her before her body hit the floor, but she had not moved since.The memory of the strange writing remained fresh in my mind.The symbols had been carved across the stone wall in a language neither of us understood. Th
Dorian’s POVThe scream tore through the night.“Sera!”My voice echoed across the palace grounds as I sprinted toward the main gate, my heart pounding violently against my ribs.“Sera, please! Don’t do this!”She did not stop.The creature charging toward the palace gate barely resembled the woman I knew.Her body had been completely transformed.A massive wolf moved with terrifying speed across the grounds, her claws digging into the earth with every powerful stride. The palace guards stationed at the gate had already drawn their weapons, but they were visibly uncertain about what to do.I could not blame them.Even I did not understand what was happening.All I knew was that Sera was heading directly toward them.“Move!” I screamed at the guards. “Get out of her way! She is going to hurt you!”The guards exchanged frightened glances before immediately stepping aside.Sera was only a few meters away from them when they finally cleared the path.“Good,” I muttered breathlessly.I slo
Dr. Kade’s POVTime had always been a strange thing.People spoke about it as though it were something simple, something they could measure with the movement of a clock hand or the changing position of the sun. They said time healed wounds, revealed secrets, changed people, and eventually brought every hidden truth to light.But I had learned that time did something far more dangerous than that.Time forced people to make decisions.And once those decisions had been made, there was no way to escape the consequences that followed.I had spent years watching timing determine the outcome of situations that should have been controlled by intelligence, preparation, and careful planning. Sometimes, a person could spend months preparing for a particular moment, only to lose everything because they had acted too early.Other times, hesitation created consequences that could never be undone.That was why I had always taken timing seriously.And lately, the thought had been haunting me more tha
DORIAN’S POVA faint smile slowly touched my face.“Make sure Caden doesn’t die wherever you took him to,” I said.Logan smiled briefly, although there was nothing amused about the situation, before finally turning around and leaving the room. He quietly shut the office door behind him, and the moment it clicked into place, silence settled inside the office once again.I leaned back slowly against my chair, my gaze remaining fixed on the closed door for several seconds.Logan and I had planned this carefully from the very beginning.Every movement had been calculated. Every possible mistake had been considered. We had known that getting Caden out of the palace prison would not be easy, especially after the entire palace had been placed on high alert because of everything that had happened recently.But we had still done it.And honestly, I did not regret it.Caden deserved to suffer.It was not only because of what he had done to the city. It was not only because of the innocent peopl
Dorian’s POVIt had been five days since the news of Caden’s escape spread across the city and ever since then, fear had settled over the entire place like smoke after a fire that refused to die completely. Every single day reports arrived at the palace from different parts of the city and every report carried the same thing beneath the words. People were afraid to leave their homes after sunset. Merchants were closing their businesses earlier than usual and families were relocating quietly from certain areas.Even the guards stationed around the city looked more tense lately because the moment the people heard that Alpha Caden was no longer inside the palace prison, every buried fear resurfaced immediately. And honestly, I could not blame them. Caden built his reign around fear long before anybody realized how dangerous he truly was and even after his downfall, the shadow he cast over the city never disappeared completely.I walked into my office that morning with the same calmness I
Nyra’s POVI left the door immediately. I didn’t wait. The moment I stepped away from the Alpha’s office, I made sure my expression was neutral, my steps measured, my presence unnoticed.But inside me, nothing was calm. Nothing was controlled. “They only happen when it’s about to fully surface.” Th
Sera’s POVBeep… Beep… Beep… That was the first thing I heard as I gained consciousness. The sound was loud and sharp that it cut through everything I was feeling at that moment…..the darkness, the heaviness pressing down on me and whatever that has taken me under. My fingers twitched and then my
Eli’s POVI didn’t remember leaving the party.One moment, I was standing in a large hall that felt so bright, too loud- people clapping, voices overlapping, eyes on me in a way that made my skin crawl.The next, I was outside.Cold air hit my face brutally, sharp enough to cut through the noise in
Two weeks.Fourteen days, and somehow Dorian Crest had dismantled every wall I’d spent six years building — not by force, not by charm alone, but by being relentlessly, almost irritatingly consistent. He said he would call and he called. He wanted to understand the pack’s trade challenges and sat w
