LOGINChapter 79Soraya's POVThree days. That was all we had.The words echoed in my head as I walked through the quiet halls of the fortress.The brothers followed behind me without speaking. We couldn't afford another mistake.Not after the cabin. Not after Matthew. Not after discovering that Leonard and Matthew were the same man. The fortress had become our last refuge, but hiding here forever wasn't an option.In three days, every powerful Alpha in the region would gather at the High Council Gala. Leonard would be there. The Withering would be there. So would we.We headed straight for the old library. It was one of the oldest rooms in the fortress, hidden behind thick oak doors reinforced with iron. Shelves stretched from floor to ceiling, filled with centuries-old books, scrolls, and ledgers. Silas walked directly toward a cabinet tucked into the far corner."I'll need everything related to the noble houses," he said. Lucius frowned."You have something in mind?" Silas unlocked th
Chapter 78Soraya's POVThe rain had stopped during the night. Now the sky was clear and bitterly cold. I stood on the frozen balcony of the fortress, looking out at the distant glow of the High Council Estates. The lights flickered on the horizon like small, cold stars. They looked peaceful from here. But I knew better. Behind those walls, enemies were plotting. Leonard was planning. Matthew. Whatever name he used.Three days had passed since the cabin. Three days since Matthew injected me with the black poison. Three days since I learned the truth about who he really was. The original creator of the Blackwood Blood Curse. The one who had been denied the title of Alpha centuries ago. The one who had been funding my father's experiments. The one who wanted to destroy every Blackwood left.My body was still weak. The paralysis was gone, but my muscles ached with every step. Walking took effort. Standing took effort. Everything took effort. But I was alive. The Queen's power had saved
Chapter 77Soraya's POVI woke up on the cold wooden floor.The rain was still falling outside. I could hear it hitting the roof. My body felt heavy and wrong. I tried to move my legs but they would not listen. They stayed still like they were not part of me anymore. My left arm was the same. Dead and useless. Only my right arm worked. Only my head could turn.The poison from Matthew's injection was still in my blood. I felt it moving through me. Slow and cold. It made my heart beat too slowly. It made everything feel far away.The cabin was empty. Matthew was gone. The seer had run into another room. The brothers were outside somewhere. They had chased Matthew into the storm. I was completely alone.I could not stay here. If Matthew came back, he would finish what he started. And if I died here, the poison would spread through the mate bond. It would hurt the brothers. I could feel that dark thread pulling at me. Trying to connect me to them in a way that would destroy us all.I had
Chapter 76Soyera's povThe act is over , Matthew said , crossing his arms over his chest , it's time we actually speak for you to know who I am really.I stared at him, my heart hammering against my ribs. Jax kept his rifle raised, his body a rigid wall between me and the man who claimed to be his brother. But the way Matthew stood there, so utterly calm, so devoid of the arrogance he had worn like a mask in the city… it made my skin crawl."Then talk," Silas spat, his amber eyes blazing. "Tell us who the hell you really are, because right now, all I see is a monster wearing our bloodline."Matthew's lips curved into a slow, humorless smile. He walked further into the room, his boots heavy against the creaking floorboards, and stopped directly in front of the fireplace. The flames cast jagged shadows across the scars on his face. He reached out, touching the cold stone of the mantel, his fingers tracing a groove in the rock as if he remembered carving it himself."I told you I wa
Chapter 75Soraya's POVThe silence that followed the seer’s words was so thick it felt like it was choking the air right out of the room.I looked at Jax, Lucius, and Silas. None of them were moving. They looked like statues, their eyes wide as they stared at the old woman. The rain kept hammering against the roof, the only sound left in the world."Four?" Jax’s voice was barely a whisper, but it sounded like a crack of thunder. He shook his head, taking a step back from the table. "No. That’s impossible. We would have known. We’re triplets. We’ve felt each other our entire lives. You're lying.""I am not lying, Jax," the seer said, her voice cracking as a tear finally spilled down her wrinkled cheek. "The doctors took him the second he was delivered. They told your mother he didn't survive the birth. But they didn't bury him. They hid him in the labs. They wanted to see if they could bring him back to lite."Lucius looked down at the photograph of his father, his fingers trembling a
ChapterSoraya's POVThe heavy front door of the cottage clicked open, and the freezing rain swept into the living room before Jax, Lucius, and Silas stepped inside. John didn’t follow them; his muffled voice called out from the porch, saying he was going to stay outside to keep watch on the perimeter.The moment they walked in Jax marched straight over to me, wrapping his heavy arms around my shoulders and pulling me into a fierce, silent hug. I buried my face in his wet jacket, feeling the rapid, chaotic beat of his heart. Lucius and Silas locked the door behind them, their faces completely hollowed out by pure exhaustion.As Jax pulled back, my eyes immediately dropped to his throat. Then I looked at Lucius, and then Silas."Your necks," I whispered, reaching out to touch the smooth skin on Jax’s collarbone.The raised, calloused tissue of their triplet pack mark was completely gone. The skin was entirely unblemished."The weapon’s pulse," Lucius explained, his voice rough as he dr
Chapter 5Soraya"Soraya, stop!" I heard Lucius yell behind me.I didn't try stopping. I hit the front door of the Omega dorms with my shoulder, and for a second, my suppressed strength flickered. The heavy door flew off its hinges. I didn't have time to wonder if the triplets saw. I pulled my hood
Chapter 4SorayaI don't get it, Soraya. I can feel it. They're our mates….. something does feel off, but the bond really is there. Maya's internal voice was a mix of confusion and terrifying excitement, a dissonance that made my head spin. How could she even consider this a good thing?"Shut up,"
Chapter 3SorayaThey fucking knew. Those fuckers literally knew I was innocent. But instead of being decent human beings—or wolves—they were using it as a leash. On me. Of all wolves..I barely slept a wink in the tiny, cramped servant’s quarters. Every time I closed my eyes, I felt the phantom p
Chapter 2SorayaWe pulled up to the main building, which looked more like a gothic castle than a school. As soon as the door opened, the smell of too many high-rank wolves hit me like a physical punch. "Out," Lucius said. He didn't even look at me. He was already checking something on his phone,
