Chapter: CHAPTER 90HERO POV"You've been quiet," I murmured, my gaze locked on hers. I reached out and gently brushed a stray strand of hair from her face. "Something on your mind?"She met my eyes, a flicker of something I noticed like – shyness? anticipation? – crossing her features before she offered a soft smile. "You're very confident," she replied, a playful glint in her eyes. "You think you can just… make me… you know…”I chuckled, a low rumble in my chest. "Is that a challenge?" I teased, my fingers tracing the line of her jaw. "Because I'm more than happy to accept. I'm not just going to make you come, darling. I'm going to make you moan my name. I'm going to make you tremble. I'm going to make you forget everything but the moment. Like I always do," I added, a slight hint of playful arrogance in my voice.Cupping her face in my hands, I leaned in, my breath ghosting over her lips. "But tonight," I whispered, "tonight is going to be different. Tonight, I want to show you… I want to show you wha

Chapter: CHAPTER 89HERO POVThe weight of the last four hours pressed down on me. Four long hours of so many question, of whispered confessions, of horrified gasps. Talking to everyone who had lived under Elliott's rule had been… draining. Most of them genuinely hadn't known what he was doing. They were shocked, horrified, some even physically ill at the revelations. Their faces, that of disbelief and disgust, while we explained what Elliot had been doing.Others… Well, others tried the "I didn't know" routine. But a wolf can't lie. Their inner animal betrayed them, the tell-tale flick of an ear, a nervous shift of weight, giving away their deception. And then there were those who admitted they knew, their eyes filled with a weary resignation. "What could we do?" they’d asked, their voices barely above a whisper. "He was too powerful.”A burning rage flickered inside me. I wanted to expose some of them who worked hand in hand with him, and punish every single one of them who had turned a blind eye. But

Chapter: CHAPTER 88HERO POVWater splattered on the floor between Finna’s legs, and she stared at me in horror. “What am I going to do? Paxton isn't even here. He should be here for this._” she yelled in pain with a groan escaping her lips. “What the fuck, Finna. Paxton is definitely not my concern right now. I thought you were still a month out from your due date?” I would never had fucking agreed for her to come along if I thought she was going to give birth in the middle of all this.“I am,” she responded, her breathing coming out in gasp.I winced at her pain. "Easy, Finna. Breathe. This isn't the time to panic."“But it's happening! I can feel it!” she groaned, her voice trembling.She moaned, her voice trembling. "It hurts! It hurts so much!”I roared again, and everyone came running. Glinda took one look at Finna, paled, and disappeared. Sabrina and Hana coax a stressed Finna out of the kitchen into the living room while Zara raced around getting supplies she was told to get. "She's going to be

Chapter: CHAPTER 87ZARA POV"I honestly... I'm sorry, but..." I began, the words catching in my throat. I was about to explain why I couldn't continue with the breaking of the curse to get back my bonds, but the sound of Hero's voice stopped me."Zara," his voice boomed from behind me, deep with worry. I closed my eyes, the weight of his concern pressing down on me. He was terrified for our child, and rightly so. If I passed this curse or not having bonds on to them... I couldn't bear the thought. I had to try everything, no matter the cost to myself. Even if it meant facing certain doom, I had to try."Alright," I finally said to the witches, my voice trembling. "One last try.”“Hey, we are not doing it today. I think it's going to take a lot of energy, and we don't want you too weak. So I would like you to have the day to rest, and I still have some ingredients to prepare properly. And, frankly, I think we are going to need Glinda. I would advise that no one brings up anything that has to deal with Ba

Chapter: CHAPTER 86ZARA POV"I told you no, Sabrina," Glinda's voice echoed through the house, firm and steady.Sabrina sighed dramatically. "But why? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! It'll be huge, I promise. Bigger than anything we've ever done."Glinda scoffed, "Bigger? You mean more danger? More of my life on the line? I've already sacrificed enough to protect this mountain. I'm done playing hero for your thrill-seeking escapades.”"But Glinda," Sabrina whined, "you know how much I need this. It's a career-defining moment for me if you agree to go...""My own career is protecting this place," Glinda retorted, "not being your personal stunt double. And frankly, I'm starting to think you only call me when you need a chauffeur to help you in your little games. Forgetting how you drive off in a blaze of glory, leaving me to clean up the mess."Sabrina bristled. "That's not fair! You know I appreciate you. You're the best.”"The best at what?" Glinda asked, her voice rising. "The best at risking

Chapter: CHAPTER 85HERO POVWhen I walked back into the room, I could smell Zara all over the place but she was nowhere to be found. “Zara,” I called out, while keeping my voice very gentle. “Hey, you can come out… it's fine, our pup is fine.” I uttered as calmly as possible. Silence. Then, a rustle under the bed. Her wolf emerged slowly, tail tucked, head low. Fear still clung to her. I sat on the floor, extending a leg towards her. She hesitated, then crept closer, her fur bristling.I reached out, my touch gentle. "There you are," I murmured, stroking her head. "It's okay, good girl.”She relaxed slowly, leaning into my hand. I closed my eyes, inhaling the scent of her fur, the woodsmoke, the lingering fear.I further stroked her fur and her head softly until I could feel her relax. "Sabrina's upset with me," I confessed, my voice a low rumble. "She thinks I'm ungrateful. That I don't appreciate you rescuing us. But that's not true at all. Back in that cage… I realized how much I wanted to live. To

Chapter: EPILOGUEEPILOGUESCOTT POVDay had turned to weeks and now I was here panicking even if I had said I wouldn't panic. I almost passed out from a panic attack right now. The hospital room was closing on me because of what I was seeing right now. "Alpha, do you need water?" The doctor asked ushering the nurse beside her to perhaps get me water by the nature of my pale face. "I think I'm doing incredibly fine!" I responded while I tried to wipe the sweat that won't stop trickling down my forehead. I had seen so many birth explanations but it didn't honestly do justice to what I was basically seeing right now. Eden was trying hard to push a baby while she ate some fruit. She was basically glowing and her skin not even close to pale, she looked basically breathtaking with pregnancy. I knew that I was basically going to miss all this period during her pregnancy. I didn't even realize how long I was having such thoughts until she held onto my shirt very tightly. "Are you just going to stand the

Chapter: CHAPTER 163THIRD PERSON POVEIGHT MONTH LATERScott couldn't believe that he had stayed a week without Eden by his side. She had gone to stay with her Dad at their pack, everything entirely had been a dull moment for him. He had managed to explain everything to everybody in his pack including Fiona's parents who seemed hurt but understood that anything could happen in the supernatural world. He stared at the window and he knew that he couldn't wait for her to return so they could hug, cuddle, kiss and make better memories than what they had gone through before. Scott tapped the desk in front of him patiently glancing at the clock each and every second, he knew that she was supposed to have arrived.He hissed and packed the files he had been working on for a while. He walked outside to see if he could at least catch a glimpse of her from a distance but everywhere was filled with little kids playing around the pack happily. "Scott!" The familiar voice of Eden came, he turned to notice the broa

Chapter: CHAPTER 162SCOTT POVI looked around, searching for any sign of the ancient artifact that might hold the key to breaking the witch's hold. There, in a corner, I spotted it—a glint of gold amidst the shadows.I ran towards the direction while both Eden and Fiona tagged behind me in fury and witch's influence.The moment I grabbed the object, a smirk appeared on my face in accomplishment. A perplexed expression masked on my face when I noticed that the witch seemed to be laughing very hard. The witch's laughter cut through the tense air, a harsh symphony of hostility. Her amusement sent a shiver down my spine, filling me with a sense of foreboding.I held the artifact tightly, my fingers tracing its ancient engravings. There had to be a reason for her reaction. I studied her closely, searching for any sign of vulnerability or weakness."What's so amusing?" I demanded, The witch's laughter slowly subsided, replaced by a wicked smile that seemed to stretch impossibly wide. Her eyes gleamed with an

Chapter: CHAPTER 161SCOTT POVMy mind raced, trying to piece together a plan amidst the chaos. I had to buy time, find a way to break free from these accursed ropes. "What is it that you want?" I asked, trying to keep her engaged.She chuckled, a sound that sent shivers down my spine. "Simple, Alpha. Your compliance. Surrender your power willingly, and your precious Luna and her friend may yet live."I tried to use my claws to release my hold on the ropes in my hands while I prolonged the conversation. "Why are you doing this? What had they done to you?" I questioned.Her laughter faded, replaced by a chilling seriousness. "It's not about what they've done. It's about the power they hold, the power that could change the course of history. And I intend to wield it," she hissed, her eyes burning with an eerie intensity.I continued to work at the ropes, inching closer to freedom. Every second counted. "You won't succeed. The pack won't let you," I declared, my voice laced with defiance.She approached, her

Chapter: CHAPTER 160SCOTT POV"Forgive me, I wish you two the best of luck. I need to talk with other guests!" He said before walking away like a total loser, I could sense the fire on his head while he left. I sighed before turning to stare at Eden before speaking. "I didn't mean to___" I was going to say but her fingers lightly touched my lips making me hush."I liked that you stepped in, that possessive part suits you!" She said making me feel better. "What about we kick in our plans? There are a lot of guards surrounding each exit and if we both decide to go out, we might end up becoming suspicious!" She said looking around. I smiled and then took her hands into mine. "What about we just stick together and create a plan on how to find Hercules himself? I can't possibly see him at the party because I heard he is down with the flu but that doesn't sit well with me." I explained. "We need to give the go-ahead in ten minutes when the party is in chaos. It is a great chance to act right away!" She sai

Chapter: CHAPTER 159EDEN POVThe car ride to my former pack was tense and I could honestly tell that the both of us were trying so hard to hold ourselves from consuming one another. I'm sure that Scott would have pulled over if the ball wasn't something important for me, When we finally got to the pack. Scott sighed heavily before walking towards the side of my door to open it like a perfect gentleman. I had been here with Adele and I still had some lingering feelings left. I gave him my most charming smile while he held my hands to gently help me up from my seat. He nicely made sure that my dress wasn't hooked on anything or scratched by any means. He pulled me slightly into his hardened chest before shutting the door. He gave me a smile still holding onto me like I was some safe box, I couldn't help but ponder on why he had me in this position rather than starting out our plan. I blushed when he gently and softly placed a warm kiss on my forehead, his hands gently brushed the strand of my hair behi
