RAFAEL's POV:

When I woke up later, I felt better than before. I could move my limbs and other parts of my body, although pain still shot through me at intervals. I glanced at Winter, who was still unconscious and walked towards her. Carrying her proved somewhat difficult due to my exhaustion.

Luckily, the hut hadn't been swept away despite the destructive force. I took her inside and laid her on the hay grass before draping a cloth over her.

"I hope you wake up soon enough to explain the meaning of this," I said, glaring.

Sitting beside the hut, I clasped a hand over my face and exhaled deeply. A large part of the forest had been utterly destroyed, revealing a path I had just noticed.

My brows creased as I stood up and walked slowly towards it. It wasn't just ordinary; it seemed like some kind of gateway or perhaps a portal. I couldn't tell, but it was swirling, and with each step I took towards it, it seemed to change in dimension and color.

I couldn't explain what it was. I tried w

    WINTER's POVRafael ignored me for a while, refusing to speak. I couldn't help but wonder if his silence was due to his anger over my presence. Yet, that was something I wouldn't apologize for. In fact, it should be me who was angry at him, not the other way around. He was redirecting all his anger towards me."What's our plan?" I mumbled, trying to start a conversation. The earlier tornado had obliterated everything, and I suspected the goddess had lent a hand in the destruction as well.I distinctly remember being pulled into its powerful grip and pushed into Rafael. The tornado had slammed into him numerous times. It seemed like he should have suffered from serious injuries, maybe even broken bones, but astonishingly, he appeared unscathed, as if nothing had occurred.While I couldn't say the same for myself, although I might not have any physical injury, I felt pain internally."You should be asking yourself that," Rafael responded. "After all, you caused this.""I'm not referring

    WINTER's POVWe had barely taken a few steps into the forest when the first drop of water landed on my skin. I assumed it was Rafael as he took a sip from his bottle. I turned to him, glaring."What?" he asked innocently."You know exactly what you did," I retorted, my scowl deepening."I didn't do anything," he shot back defensively."Yes, you absolutely did," I replied firmly."Do you always go around accusing people of things they didn't do, or is it just the pregnancy hormones talking?" he grumbled.His words stung, and I crossed my arms, glaring at him. "You clearly poured that water on me, yet you're acting as if you're innocent. An apology wouldn't hurt, you know. No need to act so arrogant all the time!""I genuinely didn't do what you're accusing me of!" Rafael growled.I opened my mouth to argue back, but the roar of the wind and thunder interrupted me.I glanced up at the darkening sky. It seemed like night was falling quickly, and I assumed it was just the time of day. I h

    SLADE'S POVWinter was still in my arms, sobbing softly. I struggled to understand our situation and how we ended up in the forest, but my mind felt empty and confused.The more I attempted to inquire about what was happening, the more Winter's sobs continued. So, I chose to let her cry it out and patiently awaited her explanation.After a while, her tears gradually subsided, and as soon as she met my gaze, I couldn't help but stare back. Her eyes were rimmed with red."What's happening? Why are we here?" I inquired."I can't believe you're alive," she whispered, clutching my shirt in her hands. "Oh my god, you're alive, and it feels like a dream!"She exclaimed, her eyes welling up with more tears."As long as I understand the situation, I don't think I can fathom what's going on," I admitted, guiding her to a nearby timber."It's complicated, Slade," she sighed."I'm all ears for a story like that, and I've got all day," I reassured her.Winter shook her head, wincing slightly, her

    WINTER'S POVI groaned as I woke up, sitting up abruptly as the memories from the previous night flooded back to me.It wasn't a dream; it felt too magical for that. It seemed like we had both given each other everything, as if it might be the last time we'd see each other.A grimace crossed my face as I noticed my clothes strewn across the forest floor, and Slade was nowhere in sight.Slade or Rafael? Despite him mentioning that he was the former, it still felt surreal. I tried to piece together what had happened without getting lost in the passion, but all I could understand was that the goddess had spared me from venturing into the dangerous forest to seek Slade's memory.A smile lit up my lips, and I rose gingerly from my spot, forgetting my earlier shyness due to my nakedness. It had been an insecurity I struggled with, and though I knew Slade would make me feel better, I didn't want to dwell on that too much.Once I was dressed, Slade returned from who knows where, and I raised

    WINTER'S POV"Winter, you're hurting me!" Slade cried out."Please, stop!" Rafael choked."You can't kill me without killing them!" chuckled the monstrous figure before me. "I told you, but you're too stubborn to listen!"Stunned, I let go and stumbled backward, my eyes widening as I tried to make sense of the situation. I thought I had finally achieved what I wanted, but it seemed like wishful thinking.I couldn't hurt the monstrous figure without hurting them.Now, I was a pawn in the goddess's twisted game, and I couldn't find a way out, no matter how hard I thought.It felt as if there was no escape for me. Whatever I did, it seemed certain that I would either end up harming Slade or Rafael. Shaking my head slightly, I asked, "Who sent you? Are you here to kill me, and why?""Who sent me?" He scoffed, his lips twisting into a sneer as if I had said something absurd and awful. "Who sent me doesn't matter. What matters is that I'm here to kill you so that the darkness within you nev

    WINTER'S POV"Summer," I breathed out, my eyes wide.I couldn't believe she was standing before me.There was no way! It felt like an eternity since I last saw her, and her presence was a strange mix of comfort and disbelief."Well, won't you give your favorite sibling a hug?" She asked, tilting her head.I noticed her blonde hair was shorter than I remembered, now shoulder-length. But that wasn't the only change. The color appeared darker as if it had been tinted. Her outfit was different too, a khaki sleeveless dress that fell just above her knees cinched at the waist with a belt for a better fit.A bow slung across her shoulder, and an arrow gripped in her hand. Summer never struck me as the arrow-and-bow kind of girl. Seeing her with one felt oddly out of place.She moved toward me, and I instinctively stepped back, my eyes narrowing at her. "Don't think I've forgotten everything you did to me. There's no way I'm pretending we're on good terms.""I'm glad you still feel that way a

    RAFAEL'S POV"What happened while I was away?" I couldn't help but ask Winter; she was acting strangely. It was the first time I had seen her so enthusiastic to be in my presence.She still held my hand, and even as I tried to pull it away, she wouldn't let go. It felt as though I might vanish if she did."Winter..." I nudged her, and she snapped her gaze towards me. "I asked you a question," I said, and she raised a brow."On?" She queried."You seem overly happy to see me, and it's a first for me. Am I in trouble or something?" I chuckled softly as she snorted.She released my hand, and in that instant, I wished she was still holding on. It felt like something left me as she let go. Winter crossed her arms over my belly, giving her an alluring air. The way her hair flowed down as if the wind were in it, and the twist of her lips, it was all too cute. Even though she looked upset, I still found her irresistible."I should be asking you where you left me." She retorted."I told you I

    RAFAEL'S POVI attempted to breach the barrier once more, but it relentlessly repelled me with each try—frustration built within me.Gritting my teeth, my gaze fixed on Winter. Her countenance had adopted a sinister edge, and a smile danced on her lips, a facet of her I hadn't deemed possible. Granted, she was a werewolf, but I'd never witnessed her bare her canines like this. It rendered her unexpectedly dangerous, even more so than I'd imagined, or perhaps, dreaded if someone had described it to me and I hadn't witnessed it firsthand."Rafael," she murmured, her lips moving, yet I couldn't discern her words. I strained, attempting to catch any sound, but all I heard was the howl of the wind assaulting my eardrums."Winter," I implored once more. "Come back to yourself."My eyes darted skyward as thunder rumbled above. In response, Winter threw back her head, emitting a chilling cackle, leaving me perplexed."It's the forest," a voice resonated in my mind.It wasn't my own. My wolf r

    WINTER POVA DAY AFTER THE BATTLEThough we endured many casualties, victory was ours. Our pack was back under our control, and there were no impending threats.No prisoners were taken from the Vordrak Lycans. Those who refused to yield were beheaded, and their remains left for the vultures to feast upon.Most importantly, Slade had returned. However, he hadn't given me the full acknowledgment I sought.At the moment, I was in the room, preparing for the meeting to announce Slade's return. While some felt it, others were still bewildered.Slade had departed the room even before I woke. I wondered if he was intentionally avoiding me, for he wasn't acting like himself."Maybe you're attributing too much to it," Flora suggested."I doubt it," I murmured. "He's distant. I should be the one relishing his presence the most, but now he seems to prefer others' company over mine.""I don't believe that's the case. He still feels the same way about you," Flora assured."How do you know that?" I

    WINTER POVMinutes passed as I waited for Rafael or Slade, unsure which one would wake up first. I hoped one of them would regain their memories soon.However, it seemed like my wait might be in vain. He hadn't stirred since he fell, and he wasn't breathing. I couldn't detect any heartbeat. I wondered if I had overexerted myself."When will he wake up?" I asked Rachel. "I thought it would happen soon!"I glanced back at his body. He was growing cold, and his lips were turning blue. The sounds of battle from outside echoed while I cradled the nearly lifeless body of my mate."What should I do, Rachel?" I looked at her, then at my mother and Emily."Give it time," my mother said, reaching out to touch my shoulder, but I shrugged her hand away."Everyone keeps saying that!" I cried out. "Did I do everything wrong, and why is no one telling me the truth?"Was he going to die again? Tears blurred my vision, and I bowed my head, sobbing against his chest.

    WINTER POVI was relieved my mother stayed behind. The process of forcing the Blood Moon was even harder than I had imagined. We had been at it for hours since my arrival, and night hadn't fallen yet.Despite drawing on my mother's strength, I still felt weak. It was as if something was trying to drain my energy."It's the babies," Emily whispered."What?" I furrowed my brow, my hands resting on my stomach."They're taking power from you, Winter, so you can't use all your abilities, or you'll end up magically depleted," she explained."Why would they try to take my powers when they know I need them right now?" I questioned.They should have sensed my distress, especially since I'd been using my powers more frequently lately."It's what keeps them alive," the Eclipse pack seer said.She approached me and placed her hands on my stomach, closing her eyes. "You should talk to them."A few seconds later, she opened her eyes. "Rachel and I can lend you our strength, and I'm sure your mother

    WINTER POVEven though I glimpsed her briefly on my way to the Silvamemoria Forest, I never imagined she'd come here after all she'd done. No one saw eye to eye with her, and she hadn't offered an official apology for her part in it. I couldn't help but wonder how she'd managed to step in here without being torn apart."What are you doing here?!" It was Kendall who snapped out of his daze first, and he strode toward her, growling lowly with narrowed eyes."Hi, Kenny," Summer smiled, waving at him. "Long time no see.""I'm not delighted to see you," Kendall hissed. "And it would be best if you left.""Don't you think having extra hands could be a help for all of you?" another familiar voice chimed in, and Daniel emerged from his hiding spot."No," I murmured, shaking my head. How had they managed to come here amidst all the chaos?!"We found our way," Daniel said as if he were reading my mind.It felt like the last time I'd seen him was a century ago. His hair was shaggy, and it seemed

    WINTER POVI jumped as another shot rang out in the air. It had been happening for over an hour now. Although it was expected, I never thought it would be this soon. It was the day of the blood moon, and it wasn't even morning yet when we were being attacked by the Vordrak's lycan. Some of the buildings close to the large gate of the Moon Stone pack had been hit and were in ruins. It wouldn't be long before it reached us, but I guess they were taking their time.From where I stood in the main pack's building, very much close to the balcony, I could see some of the Vordrak's lycans taking the pack members who weren't fortunate enough to flee captive and beheading them in cold blood. Also, I didn't think it was the dead pack members' fault since we were attacked unaware."My lady," I turned to Jude as he stepped towards me. I saw Linda behind him, as well as Kendall. They all wore battle armor with swords in their sheaths, except Linda, who took a spear. It wasn't as though she couldn't

    WINTER POV"Try again," Emily urged for the third time since we left the room. Closing my eyes, I took a slow breath and focused on the candle before me."Ignis (Fire)," I whispered for the third time. Opening my eyes, I felt nothing. I shook my head, stepping away from the pentagram."It's not working, Emily," I admitted. This should be the simplest of spells. I couldn't fathom why it wasn't working, and I hadn't even tapped into my deepest power to draw it out."Your mind is still occupied," Emily pointed out."It's clear," I insisted."It's not," Emily persisted. "That's why I want us to start with the simplest spells, so your powers won't be drained from repeated attempts.""I did clear my mind just as you instructed," I insisted.I hadn't been thinking of anything except the fact that Rafael was in the dungeon, in need of my help.'That means your mind is still occupied,' Flora whispered.'Flora,' I acknowledged. 'What should I do?'Flora speaking to me at moments like this wasn'

    WINTER POVTHE NEXT DAYI felt confined in the room, not literally, but I could barely leave without my mother or Denise asking where I was going. Rafael was still in the dungeon, though not locked up like before. I'd been told that, but I didn't trust my mother enough at this point not to.For some reason, she was keeping the truth from me. Pacing, I ran a hand through my hair, then glared at Emily, seated on the sofa in front of me. She'd been talking nonstop about the history of the Vordrak Lycans and how they came to be. I didn't want to hear it. I just wanted a solution. The one, my parents had proposed involved me forgetting about Rafael, which meant I'd forget about Slade, too, if I did it. Saving Rafael was important, but his forgetting me was the last thing I wanted.So, the only sensible option now was to wait for the Blood Moon night to use the moon shadow Blade. It was the only available and effective option I knew, even if it meant forgetting about him."Do you understand

    WINTER POV"I am dying," I whispered, gazing at the face of the goddess Selene. She shook her head, her expression distant, lost in thought.I wondered if she shared in my pain, her murmurs never-ending. "Can't you help me?" I implored, but she remained silent, her gaze fixed on me.She only stared at me before shrugging. "Even for a goddess like me, there are limits I can't surpass. As much as I care for you, Winter, there are boundaries I cannot cross." Her voice held a touch of sadness, mirroring the emotion etched on her face."What do you mean by these limits?" I inquired, a hint of frustration creeping into my tone. I lay there, perhaps lifeless, with my loved ones surrounding me. Rafael still needed my aid, and the impending war loomed. Yet, she hesitated to assist."You know I would have assisted if I could," she sighed."Everything lies within your power; a mere snap of your fingers could change it all," I insisted, my voice tense as I glared at her."Like I said, Winter..."

    RAFAEL POVExhaling once again, I stood rooted to the spot, unyielding since the trio departed. Winter hadn't budged either.No matter how often her mother offered reassurances, it did little to ease my unease. If only I'd left with Jude and faced the consequences head-on, just as I glimpsed in his eyes. It might have offered some solace.It could have balanced the scales, a punishment of sorts for what I'd subjected Winter to. Yet deep down, I knew that wouldn't be enough. I sighed and began to pace around the room."You should sit down. You'll wear yourself out," Denise advised."Sit?" I scoffed. "I don't think that's what I need."Rising to her feet, Denise approached me. "It's not your fault," she asserted. "I believe you would've shielded Winter if you had the inner strength. I know you never intended to harm her.""I should have shielded her, but I never did," I acknowledged. "I repeated the same mistake I made with my first mate. I'm cursed, shit!""Listen to me," Denise insist
