CHAPTER 40AM I HAPPY?I turned in his arms, meeting his gaze. I didn't need to think twice, I already knew the answer. “Yes.”Relief flickered across his face. He cupped my cheek, his thumb tracing the curve of my jaw.“I won’t ever let anything come between us again,” he vowed.I smiled softly. “I know.”He pressed his forehead to mine, and for a while, we just stood there, breathing each other in.Then, slowly, he tilted my chin up and captured my lips in a kiss. It was slow, deep, filled with promises unspoken.I melted into him, wrapping my arms around his neck as he lifted me effortlessly, carrying me inside.This? This is home.***The morning air was crisp, but my mind was anything but clear. The events of the past few days had settled like a weight on my chest. Everything was finally falling into place—Julian and I, the pack’s acceptance, the removal of those who had wronged me.And yet, something lingered.The rogues.The ones who had taken me, who had spoken in riddles, who

CHAPTER 41REALIZATION DAWNED ON ME. Alongside this feeling I couldn't tell—one which came when suspicions you didn't want to be true, turns out to be true.The journey back to the pack was filled with silence.Julian and I rode at the front, warriors flanking us as we carried with us the final truth—the last rogue had confirmed it.We knew who it was—the one behind my abduction, the mastermind behind these crazy mind games. She had been playing her game in the shadows all along, waiting for her moment.Now, her time was up.The moment we crossed into pack territory, Julian sent word to the council. The pack gathered swiftly, murmurs filling the air as the news spread like wildfire.Elena was dragged from her chambers, her wrists bound. Her once-pristine appearance was gone—her hair was unkempt, her clothes wrinkled. But the moment her eyes met mine, there was no shame. Only hatred.Julian stood tall, his Alpha presence undeniable. “Elena,” he called, his voice carrying over the rest

CHAPTER 42STARTLEDI woke with a gasp, my body drenched in sweat.Julian stirred beside me, his eyes opening instantly. “Raven?”My breathing was ragged, my chest rising and falling too fast.He sat up, wrapping his arms around me. “It’s okay,” he murmured. “It was just a dream.”But as I buried my face against his chest, my body trembling, I couldn’t shake the feeling that it had been more than just a dream. I couldn’t shake the feeling that it had been a warning.The nightmare still clung to me, a ghost of fear twisting around my ribs, refusing to let go. I had woken up drenched in sweat, my heartbeat hammering like a war drum in my chest. The image of Elena smirking at me evenly, it lingered at the edge of my mind.I didn’t tell Julian what had actually happened in the dream. Not because I didn’t trust him, but because I didn’t trust myself. My mind had been through too much—betrayal, pain, battles—I was probably just reacting to all of it. At least, that’s what I told myself.Th

CHAPTER 43THE TRUTH. I parted my lips to tell him the truth, but I was interrupted.A knock echoed in the room, and both of our attention was immediately captured. “Who's there?" Julian called.A voice returned an answer. “Alpha, there's a problem." The heavy urgency in his tone attested to his words.“Come in." Julian said, rising to his feet.The moment the scout burst into the room, his face pale and his breathing ragged, I knew our peace had been short-lived.Julian stiffened beside me, his muscles coiling with tension. "Speak," he commanded, his voice sharp as a blade."A rogue group, Alpha," the scout panted. "We noticed a rogue group. Near our borders. Their numbers are growing."My pulse quickened. The room went deadly silent.Julian exchanged a glance with me before turning back to the scout. "Reach out to the elders, arrange a council meeting. We meet now."Moments later, we were seated in the council chamber, the air thick with unease. Some of the elders believed these ro

CHAPTER 44I KNEW WHAT I HAD TO DO.The words left my lips before I could second-guess them. Julian’s reaction was instant.“No,” he said sharply, shaking his head. “Absolutely not.”“Julian, listen to me—”“I don’t need to listen,” he snapped. “You’re not going into those woods alone.”I reached for his hand, pressing it against my wrist where the mark still burned. “It won’t stop,” I whispered. “You saw Dorian’s reaction. This isn’t just some random nightmare, Julian. It’s real.”His jaw clenched, his body taut with tension. He wanted to fight this. “More reason you shouldn't leave, Raven. Come on! All of the signs are there before you, and yet you want to walk right into the pit. That's reckless.”"Well, what else am I supposed to do?” I snapped, at the edge of losing control.He turned to me, his eyes softening. "We could just ignore this, act like none of it is happening. It'll stop eventually. If they realize they can't get to you, they'll give up.” I scoffed. "Easy for you to

CHAPTER 45JULIAN'S POV FLASHBACKI leaned back in my chair, the dim lighting of the bar casting long shadows over my features. The woman in my lap trailed kisses along my jawline, her hands wandering with an eagerness I barely acknowledged. I had picked her out of the crowd without much thought, seeking nothing but a temporary escape from the ghosts that haunted me.But as her lips pressed against me, something inside me recoiled, like I was repulsed. The touch was wrong. It wasn’t what I wanted. It wasn’t who I wanted.I grabbed her wrists and pulled back, my expression darkening. "Get out."The woman blinked in confusion, her lips still parted from our unfinished kiss. "What? But I thought—""I said get out," I repeated, y voice laced with a growl. She rose to her feet, a disbelieved scoff escaping her lips. “I thought they were all rumors, turns out they were true after all." I shot her a glare, my eyes cold, but she didn't seem phased. A courageous one. "What does that mean?"

CHAPTER 46RAVEN'S POV DEEP INTO THE WOODS.The moment I stepped past the border of the forest, the air thickened, wrapping around me like unseen tendrils. The towering trees stretched endlessly into the dark, their branches twisting like skeletal fingers. The silence was unsettling—not the calm quiet of nature, but an eerie stillness, as if the forest itself was holding its breath.I exhaled, pressing forward, following the invisible pull that had led me here. It tugged at my soul, an unspoken command I didn’t understand but couldn’t ignore. The further I went, the more distant the outside world felt. The forest had its own rhythm, its own presence—watchful, ancient, alive.The sun dipped below the horizon, and the darkness thickened. Then I saw them.I was barely seconds into the forest, were they waiting for me?I turned immediately, my instincts rising. I could run back to the pack. Maybe asking to do this alone was a bad idea. I could really use Julian's help right now.However,

CHAPTER 47A PROPHECY?With my heart in my hands, I asked, “What prophecy?" She held my gaze. "Written deep in those scrolls is an ancient saying which somehow metamorphosed into a prophecy to be fulfilled in our time.When I said nothing, she continued. “A prophecy that speaks of a forbidden bond—one that, when realized, will unlock the true potential of the werewolf race.”My breath caught in my throat. “A forbidden bond?”Atena nodded. “Two wolves, meant to be together, but forced apart by unnatural forces. Their unity would have changed everything… but someone feared that power.”My blood ran cold. “You’re saying this… has to do with Julian and me?”Atena nodded. “You and Julian were never meant to be ordinary. Your connection was forged by fate itself. But someone interfered.”A deep unease settled in my stomach. “Interfered how?”Atena closed the book. “There was one among your own people who feared the prophecy, who sought to prevent it from coming true.

CHAPTER 39PAIN — THE LAST THING I WANTED.After everything, I just needed reassurance that I wouldn't lose him yet again. I tried to build walls, to not fall as hard as I did before, but the truth was I had already fallen, and I didn't stand up after that.I was in love with this man. The last thing I wanted was another regret.Julian rested his forehead against mine, a shaky exhale escaping him. “You won't, Raven. I promise."We sat there by the river, the world around us fading into the background. In that moment, amidst the uncertainty of the future, a fragile thread of connection was rewoven, one that we both hoped would withstand the tests to come.When we went back to bed that night, I snuggled closer into Julian's arms. My mind replayed everything that had happened in the past few months, and I couldn't help but smile. From giving my self to him out of pain and the sheer need for revenge at a random bar that night, to him finding out who I was and me trying to avoid and bury
