WINTER'S POV

The afternoon had come, but Rafael still hadn't returned.

I discreetly questioned Jude and Kendall about his whereabouts, hoping for answers, but both seemed reluctant to provide any. My suspicions extended to them; it felt like they knew where he had gone but were keeping it from me.

Back in the infirmary, Naomi remained unconscious, her breathing steady compared to the ragged state it had been in just hours before. Her temperature had returned to normal. I sat by her bedside, my gaze fixed on the fading wound on her body, unable to conceal the grimace that crossed my face. I held her hand, noting the coolness of her skin.

Despite my efforts to uncover the nature of her attack and the assailant responsible, I came up empty-handed. Rafael hadn't disclosed the identity of the people he had seen. All he mentioned was that he had encountered them, people who seemed formidable enough to deter any attempt to challenge them. That might explain why he chose to retreat and return

    WINTER POVI waited for Rafael for a good two days, hoping for his return.I prayed to the goddess to bring him safely to me.Yet, despite my hope, I received no word about his return or his return to his pack after I sent the last letter to Naomi. She informed me about her well-being and relayed all that had transpired. I didn't want to read too much into the symbols she described that she had seen before losing consciousness.Those symbols were pointing toward the Vordrak Lycans, but I couldn't be certain.I hadn't encountered anyone else with similar symbols on their heads, and now Rafael had gone after them. I often wondered if he ever second-guessed his decisions before acting."Are you really leaving?" Linda asked, staring at the bag I was currently stuffing my things in."Yes," I replied, packing the last of my clothing into the bag."And I can't change your mind?" she inquired once again."No, you can't," I answered. "Trying to stop me would mean you hate me. I can't let Rafae

    WINTER'S POV:I kept staring at my mother, memories of Helios warning me about my children trying to hide the necklace flooding back.This must be the level of danger he had mentioned. The gravity of the situation was pronounced in my mother's expression; she wasn't joking.And I doubted she'd ever joke about something like this."I haven't been the best mother to you," she whispered, her voice cracking toward the end. I thought she might start crying, but even though she didn't, I could see tears welling up in her eyes."I'm sorry, darling. I should have let you make your own choices. I wrongly assumed I could make better decisions for you. I went wrong right from the beginning when you took that oath..." She paused, took a deep breath, and continued."Your father had warned me against it, but I chose to follow my own path. I'm truly sorry, and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me." She murmured, her grip on my face gentle. "We can talk about whatever you want when you

    WINTER'S POVI didn't think I had managed to distance myself very far from it. And I didn't believe I could, either. Exhaustion gripped me; my hands ached from clutching the horse's reins too tightly, and my head throbbed. Wincing at the bitter taste that now dominated my palate, I pushed myself beyond my limits.Firstly, my primary goal was survival. If I got caught up in the tornado, I doubted anyone would find my remains—this was the most violent one I had ever witnessed.Secondly, I couldn't afford to fail my mission to meet Rafael; dying would render all my efforts pointless.Lastly, for some unknown reason, I couldn't counter the strong wind. It was perplexing, considering I had been able to deflect even the fiercest gusts before. Nevertheless, no matter how hard I struggled, all my attempts were in vain.The horse let out a distressed neigh, abruptly coming to a halt. "Come on," I groaned, rubbing its mane. "I know you're tired too, but I promise we'll find a safe place to res

    RAFAEL'S POVI groaned and rolled out of the sleeping bag. My eyes ached from barely getting any sleep.Ever since I embarked on this journey, which I believed to be a suicidal mission, shutting my eyes had become difficult. Even the slightest movement made it nearly impossible. I didn't think I had traveled far, but it was still distant enough for anyone to reach me—anyone like Winter. I had intentionally left without telling her because I knew she would have tried to stop me.Additionally, I noticed that the mark on Naomi was the same as the mark that had been on James when he was attacked. If powerful werewolves like James and Naomi had been injured as though they hadn't even tried to defend themselves, it indicated that their opponents were formidable enemies. Strangely, the marks on them matched the ones I had seen on the people the night before. I was certain they were connected.My hands clenched into fists as I lifted myself off the ground, groaning as my stomach rumbled. I g

    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 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
