Chapter: Chapter SixteenMalrick POV“Shut the door,” I snapped the moment the last guard stepped into the room.Ronan kicked it shut with a hind leg before shifting back to his human form. The others followed suit, panting, bruised, and shaken. Some collapsed onto the benches lining the wall, others paced. I stayed standing, facing them, arms crossed behind my back.“That wasn’t Sage,” one of them muttered.“No,” I replied calmly, “that was a monster.”“You sure it was him, Malrick?” Ronan asked. “His scent… it was off. Mixed. Almost like—”“I know my Alpha,” I cut in. “Even in that twisted form. That thing was Sage.”“But he didn’t attack us,” another guard, Kael, said, rubbing his arm where fur had been singed from the brush fire Sage had accidentally triggered. “He ran. Fast. Like a beast with a death sentence.”“He didn’t need to attack,” I said slowly. “Not this time.”Ronan scowled. “Then what do you think he was doing?”I leaned forward, voice low. “Watching. Waiting. Testing how far he could go befor

Chapter: Chapter FifteenSage POVI pulled away at the last second, throwing myself sideways into a tree. The trunk cracked from the force. Tree bark embedded into my shoulder, but I barely felt it.“You’re not this. You don’t hunt like this.”But the beast growled in response—my voice, warped and guttural.A war was happening beneath my skin. It was terrifying. I dropped to all fours, panting. The moon was still above, glowing red with warning. My reflection shimmered in a puddle beside me. The creature stared back. Black fur. Twisted limbs. Silver-ringed eyes.Still me.But not.“Stop,” I growled, forcing the word through my muzzle. “This isn’t who we are.”My voice was low. Distorted. But it was there.For a split second, the beast stilled.Then it growled back—from within.I clutched my head. Sharp claws dug into my scalp but it didn’t break my skin. A laugh, but not mine—echoed in my head.“You let her go,” it sneered. “You lost her. So now you lose me too.”“No.”I slammed a fist into the ground.Dirt

Chapter: Chapter FourteenBella's POVHe blinked at me. "Are you that hungry?""Yeah." My voice cracked. "I haven’t eaten since yesterday. I just… I need something. Please."He studied me for another long second. Then he grunted. "Come on. I’ll throw you on an easy job."I followed him to the back where he handed me gloves and a spray bottle that smelled like hospital-grade chemicals. “You clean the corner café down the street. Mop, wipe, trash. They close at ten. You finish before midnight, bring the key back here.”I nodded quickly and grabbed everything.“Don’t steal nothing,” he added. “I got cameras.”I was already halfway out the door.The café wasn’t far. Small place with dusty floors and sticky tables. The cook was just locking up when I got there. He barely looked at me as he handed me the key.“Don’t break anything,” he muttered."I won’t," I said.When I was alone inside, I dropped my bag and started scrubbing. It felt weird—almost unreal—to be wiping down floors instead of dodging guards or prepari

Chapter: Chapter ThirteenBella POV"She's waking up.""Shut up. Keep your voice down."A groan left my throat before my eyes even opened. The scent of moss and damp earth hit me hard. My head throbbed. My wrists burned. My body felt like it had been crushed and left in the cold."Where—" I muttered, blinking against the faint rays of the rising sun filtering through the trees. The lake shimmered nearby. Water lapped gently at the edges.“She's alive,” someone whispered again. Footsteps retreated fast.I tried sitting up, but my entire back screamed. Then it hit me—last night. The mating ceremony. The preparations. I was in the room. Someone came in. The scent had been sweet, but heavy. I turned too late. A sting in my neck—"Shit," I gasped, scrambling to my knees. The hem of the silk robe I’d been dressed in for the rite was soaked and torn. “No. No. No.”I staggered to my feet, swaying like a drunk. My wolf stirred weakly inside me, still sluggish from whatever had knocked me out. The packhouse was beyond t

Chapter: Chapter TwelveSage POVThe place was now empty, flower petals scattered by the wind. The altar still stood—mocking me. The moon hung overhead, full and bright, but its beauty was meaningless.She didn’t come.Guards whispered and avoided my gaze as they filtered out, clearing the area. Malrick stood near the tree line, watching me. He took a step forward.“She’s not coming, Sage,” he said gently.I didn’t answer.“She made her choice.”Still, I said nothing.After a few seconds, Malrick sighed and gave a small nod before turning away. His footsteps faded with the others.But I didn’t move. I couldn’t.Bella knew what was at stake. She knew about the mark. The Blood Moon. The Sentinel. Everything. She wouldn’t just walk away… not after all we’ve faced. Not after we finally began to understand each other again.I waited with hope that she'll show up.The moon began to sink, its light shifting from silver to pale.Still… nothing.Then I felt a snap in my head.

Chapter: Chapter Eleven Sage POVA Few Days Later… The moon was full, high in the sky, it casted a silver glow over the clearing as the crowd gathered. The altar was dressed in white and gold, the traditional colors of unity. Lanterns floated above the space, flickering like stars caught in motion. The scent of night-blooming roses filled the air, mingling with the sound of low drums and hushed whispers. It was all in preparation for the Mating ceremony of I and Bella. We wanted to heed to the warnings of the revelation. Everything was perfect. Except she wasn’t here. I had been waiting for some time now but for some reason, Bella had not shown up. I stood at the altar with my hands clenched at my sides, waiting. Heart thudding. Breath tight in my chest. My eyes scanned the crowd for any sign of her. But Bella wasn't anywhere around. The pack had gathered in silence, excitement humming through the air as they anticipated the Mating ceremony of their alpha. Elders, warriors, even pups—all of them stoo

I grabbed her and swung her around, her laughter and giggles filling the air.Just as we were having the time of our lives, the door to the room opened, and Avery stepped inside.

"Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep this room tidy?"I shrugged, Power still in my arms. "It's not a burden you should always bear," I said. "Besides,

Chapter: Chapter Hundred And Fifty-FiveAvery's POV I stood atop the Moon Palace walls, my eyes fixed on the battle unfolding before me.

The clash of steel on steel echoed through the air, and I could feel the ground shaking beneath my feet.Despite Alpha Red's strength and experience, I couldn't help but worry about him.

Chapter: Chapter Hundred And Fifty-FourAlpha Red's POV Avery turned to me, her eyes sparkling with determination. "Where do you think Callista's people should stand in the Moon Palace?" she asked.I considered her question for a moment before responding. "I think they should be held back, kept out of sight from the enemy. They should be our last resort."Avery nodded, understanding my reasoning. "The dragon army is known for their ability to cause destruction by burning down the enemy. It would make the fight easier, but..."I completed her sentence, my voice low and serious. "We might not get who were truly after."Avery's eyes locked onto mine, and I could see the unspoken name hanging in the air. "The Dark Lord," she whispered.I nodded, my jaw clenched in determination. "Yes. I believe the only way to defeat the Dark Lord and his people for good is to make sure he's there before we burn the army of vampires. There's a possibility he won't show up at the war front, that he'll be the last resort as well."Avery nodded,

Chapter: Chapter Hundred And Fifty-ThreeAvery's POV Callista walked into the meeting room, and I asked her, "Are your people prepared?"She nodded. "Yes, they're ready. However, my guards will start moving a day before the war. The north is far from where the war will take place, so we need to give them a head start."I smiled, relieved to hear this news. "Thank you, Callista. That's a big help."Just then, a guard entered the room, carrying a letter. "Avery, this just arrived for you," he said, handing me the letter.I opened it, scanning the contents. My army commander's words jumped off the page, and my heart began to pound. He wrote that his scouts had infiltrated the kingdom and discovered that the vampires had already sent half of their army to hide around the Moon Palace.

Chapter: Epilogue Happily Ever After“Yes, I do,” Evelyn said, tears streaming down her face as she stood beside the love of her life, Leonard. The sun set behind them, casting golden hues across the beach, where a small crowd of family and close friends clapped in celebration.

He pulled Evelyn close, capturing her lips in a deep, passionate kiss. His mother playfully covered her face, peeking through her fingers, while the crowd cheered and laughed.“Grandma, I want to join Mummy and Daddy!” Ryan and River said in unison, their excitement contagious.

Chapter: Chapter Hundred And NineEVELYN’S POV:It had been over two months since the failed surgery. My dad had been living on what felt like a miracle ever since.

The pain I felt was incomparable, beyond anything I’d ever imagined.I clung tightly to Leonard’s hand. He stood beside me, his calm voice trying to pierce through my haze of agony. “You’re doing so well, babe. Just a little more.”A doctor—or maybe a nurse or midwife—entered the room, her expression calm yet purposeful. I knew it was time. She held a syringe, walking briskly toward me.“Hello, madam.

I gave her a questioning look.I turned the car onto another route as we started looking for a restaurant. We eventually found one and walked inside. The meal was nice, and I realized I was also hungry. After eating, we didn’t leave immediately; we stayed for a while to relax.Then a call came to my phone. I took it out and saw it was a new number. Surprisingly, I hesitated before answering, wondering who it could be.“Good day, sir,” a voice said on the other end.I tried to recognize the voice but couldn’t.“I’m from the press hub,” the voice continued.My interest piqued. “What’s the situation?” I asked urgently.“We have three offers right now,” he said.A wave of excitement washed over me for a moment.“Alright, I need their details immediately,” I said and hung up.I turned to speak to Evelyn, only to r

Time flew by, and before I knew it, it was the next morning.When I woke up, Evelyn was sleeping peacefully beside me on the bed.

Chapter: Chapter Hundred And SixLEONARD’S POV:Her checkups and scan didn’t take much time. The baby was fine and Evelyn was in perfect condition. Though the doctor recommended so much rest. Afterward, she requested to see the twins.“But they had left only yesterday!” I protested. The twins had become a big part of our lives, visiting from time to time. Even though they stayed at their grandparents’ house, their bond with Evelyn remained strong. They were so fond of her that they never wanted to leave whenever they came over. The feeling was mutual.“But I miss them,” she said, pouting her lips. “We won’t stay long; it’ll just be a brief visit.”“I know, but the doctor said you need rest. You should get some,” I tried to convince her. But Evelyn wasn’t one to give up easily.Eventually, she succeeded in convincing me instead. I called the kids' grandparents on our way to inform them of our visit. As soon as we arrived, the kids ran out to welcome us. I scooped both of them into my arms and lifted them high. Only t
