Chapter 48: The Line We Cannot Cross

Inside the war room, tension hung heavy in the air. Nobody said anything, but I could feel their eyes — looking at me, waiting, waiting for answers I didn’t have.

Not yet.

My pulse roared in my ears, and I clenched my fists at my sides. The figure with eyes of gold — the first — wanted my children. And if Elias was right, if the Order had left him because he was too powerful, too volatile…

Then we were fighting something worse than the Order itself.

Something that was beyond reason.

Unstoppable something.

Unless I found a way.

It was Ethan who first broke the silence. “We need a plan.” He spoke evenly, though I noticed his hands trembling slightly by his sides. He was angry. Afraid.

I didn’t blame him.

Dorian exhaled sharply. “A plan for what? We have no idea even what we’re working with. If he’s really the first hybrid, the first experiment, that would mean he’s older than any of us. They’re more powerful than anything we encountered before.”

  • Chasing my Luna    CHAPTER 49

    Chapter 49: The Point of No ReturnWhen the golden-eyed figure took a step forward, everything appeared to freeze.The night air was thick, wrapping my skin like a second suffocating layer of weight. The warriors shifted around me, their hands tightening on their weapons. I heard the faint shuffling of boots on stone, the quiet, measured breathing of the ones waiting for the inevitable.But no one moved.Not yet.Not until I did.I met his gaze, not flinching. “You have been waiting for this, haven’t you?”The golden-eyed figure smiled, slow and lazy, “Of course.”His voice was liquid, well modulated, and that was enough to set my wolf to snarling beneath my skin.He was too calm.Too sure.So he believed he had already won.I stepped slowly forward, my pulse calm though a storm roiled within. “You were you stopped me running. Here I am.”He inclined his head. “Indeed. But there’s one thing I can’t help but wonder — don’t you know why that meant so much to me?”I clenched my fists. “B

    Chapter 28: The Gamble at MidnightThe journey to Midnight Claws' territory was brutal. The air grew colder as the dense forests of the Black Hollow were replaced by torn cliffs and valleys shrouded in mist. Each step came with an added heaviness as the inevitable loomed beyond me, bearing down like a torrential rain. The Ironfangs had bowed to fight beside us, but it wouldn’t be enough. We needed more.Selene was in the lead, gliding through the shadows like water. Dorian fell in step beside her, ever the strategist, his keen silver eyes raking the horizon. The Midnight Claws were infamous for that, for their secrecy, their shifting alliances. If they were already in league with the Order, we were walking into a death trap.That thought sent a shiver of fear down my spine, but I brushed it away. We didn’t have a choice.“Stay close,” Selene said softly. “We’re being watched.”My wolf stirred under my skin and I tensed, but forced myself to remain calm. This was their home court, thei

    Chapter 50: The Siege BeginsThe first wave crashed unto the shore.When Bryan’s troops conquered the fortress gates, the world fell into chaos.Warriors fought in a maelstrom of steel and claws, the scent of blood and smoke heavy in the air. There was an unnatural darkness over the sky, as if the earth itself could sense what was to come.And at the center of it all—Bryan stood, watching.Waiting.For me.I gritted my teeth and stepped forward gripping my sword tightly, slicing through the first tier of enforcers as was mere grass.This wasn’t just a battle.This was war.And I wasn’t going to lose.The Fight for ShadowfangEthan battling at my side, his blade a blur as he hewed through enemies. His motions were graceful, lethal — decades of practice and fury coalescing in every blow.Selene flitted like a shadow, daggers glinting in the now-rising sun, slitting throats before the enemies even had time to scream.Dorian took one group of warriors in the opposite direction along the

    Chapter 51: The War InsideThe fortress was silent.The battle was over.But I’d never felt less victorious.The golden-eyed figure was gone, and all that remained was his voice seared into my brain like a branding iron.“Next time, you won’t be able to restrain yourself.”I had held back. I had resisted the call from within, resisted surrender to the brutal force that had dug its talons into my blood. And for what? He had still walked away. He had still received what he wanted — proof that I was changing.And that scared me more than anything else.Ethan still cradled our daughter, his arms squeezing her against him tightly, protectively. She had quit crying, but she wasn’t releasing. The little fists were curled in his shirt, her breath hitching against his shoulder.I reached for her but my fingers shook.I didn’t know if it was from fatigue.Or from something worse.Ethan’s eyes darted to me, sharp, probing. “Jess.”I willed myself to look into his eyes.He knew.He knew what had

    Chapter 52: (The Path of No Return)The morning was cold.Too cold.As I stood at the edge of the Shadowfang fortress, looking out over the yawning mouth of the world, it sunk deep down into my bones. It was a path of no return for me.The ruins of the first laboratory, the place where the Order’s experiments had begun, lay deep in the mountains, hidden in the land of the dead. No pack controlled it. No kingdom claimed it.Because no one returned from where they went.And now I was walking directly into it.Ethan didn’t speak, standing next to me. He was steady, grounding, but I knew he hated this plan. I sensed it in the way his fists tensed at his sides, in the way his jaw stayed clenched.Finally, he spoke. “You don’t have to do this by yourself.”I exhaled, shaking my head. “I do.”He glanced at me, his golden eyes shadowed with irritation. “No, you don’t. You just think you do.”I swallowed hard. “Ethan—”“You always do that,” he interrupted, voice gravelly. “You bear the weight

    Chapter 53: Into the AbyssThe ruins swallowed us whole.As soon as we passed the threshold, the cold intensified. It was not the kind of chill from the mountain air or out of the stone walls — it was something else. Something alive.Something watching.The doors behind us creaked, the sound echoing through the ancient stone, and then —They slammed shut.The clang reverberated down the dark hall, trapping us behind it.No turning back now.Ethan took a deep breath and firmed his grip on his sword. “I really hate places like this.”Selene shot him a look. “And yet, here you are.”Elias smirked. “I think we should all pause for a moment to appreciate just how much Ethan must love Jessica to chase her straight to hell.”Ethan didn’t pull his gaze from the blackness ahead. “If you don’t stop talking, I’m leaving you behind.”Elias grinned. “You say that, but we both know I’d be the only one who’d survive it.”Selene sighed. “I will stab you.”Rsha voices her sharp tones to cut the bicker

    Chapter 54 The Door to OblivionWhen the ancient doors swung open, they emitted a slow guttural noise that made my bones vibrate. That knowing way that the air shifted around the moment I saw the passage—the thickness that pressed against my lungs as if the air itself wanted me turned away.Or keep something in.Ethan gripped my arm more tightly from behind me, his breath shallow and quickening. “Jessica, don’t.”I didn’t look at him. I couldn’t.Because I knew — the second I turned away, the second I hesitated, I would never step through those doors.And I needed to.I needed to know what awaited inside.I swallowed hard, the lump in my throat forcing my voice steady. “I have to do this.”Ethan’s jaw tightened. “Then I’m going with you.”“Not a chance.” I faced him, my eyes hard. “You stay with the others.”His face contorted with disbelief, frustration. “Are you serious? You’re entering an ancient hellhole, full of god-knows-what, and you expect me just to stand here?”I exhaled. “Y

    Chapter 55: Truth Which Should Not Be KnownThe vision had broken something in me.I gasped in short, breathless jerks and the reality of what I’d seen hit me at full force. My mother—here. Holding me. And the golden-eyed figure, standing quiet amid the wreckage like he had been waiting thousands of years for this moment.This war did not only concern power.This was not merely about revenge or bloodlines.It was about me.And it had always been.I stepped back shakily and felt my fingers tingle with the residue of whatever the book had felt me. My legs were shaking, my heart pounding in my chest.The golden-eyed figure stood in silence, as though giving me time to process the gravity of my finding.Then, finally, he spoke.“You see now, don’t you?”I forced my breath steady. “See what?”His golden eyes shone in the fading torchlight. “That you were never meant to be simply a wolf.”I clenched my fists. “You’re lying.”He exhaled, then tilted his head slightly, as if I were a childish

  • Chasing my Luna    CHAPTER 73

    Jessica stood paralyzed between Kade and Lucas, her heart hammering against her ribs and her past and future colliding before her.She should be relieved. After all these months running away, just trying to survive, desperately trying to stay alive—her pack had finally found her.But why did it feel so wrong?Lucas’s eyes were hopeful, craving for her to conform, to go back to what she used to be. Kade, however, remained unmoved next to her, barely shrouded dominance barely leashed, refusing to budge.She gulped, wavered on her feet. “Lucas… how did you find me?”His face gave nothing away. “We never stopped looking.”A twinge of guilt knotted in her chest. Had they really been searching for her all along? Or was there another reason for their mysterious re-emergence?Kade growled low next to her, catching Lucas’s ear. “She is not leaving without the truth.”Lucas’s jaw tightened. “This doesn’t concern you, Alpha. She belongs with us.”Jessica exhaled sharply. “I decide where I belong

    Chapter 72 – The AwakeningJessica’s body was weightless, floating between this world and another. This energy flowed in her veins as nothing she had ever known: primal, ancient, wild.Her wrists no longer ached. The burns had vanished, her skin as unmarred as if silver had never sullied her. But she knew better. She had experienced the pain, the torture. She had been tied up, powerless to struggle, could hardly breathe as her captors smothered her.And now?She was free.As she steadied herself, her breath came out in slow measured exhales. Lucian had run. Lucian had run from her. This man, who had tormented her, who had taken pleasure in her pain, had seen into her eyes and ran.Why?The question twisted tight in her mind, but just as she was able to settle into it, footsteps sounded in the corridor beyond.They were coming.Think, Jessica. Think fast.Her body may have healed, but she wasn’t naïve enough to believe she was invincible. Not yet. Whatever power had set her free, whate

    Chapter 71: The Trap We Never Saw ComingEmerging from the dense thicket of woodland, bursting through brush, my objective flashed through my mind, in a sing song sort of chant, skull, skull, skull. Kade was standing next to me, his fingers clenched around my wrist, his body rigid and prepared for anything. Elias trailed closely, his customary smirk replaced by grim concentration. The rogue Alpha, Maddox, hovered just outside of range, his icy gaze scanning the trees as if he were expecting a brawl.Because something felt off.The air too still, the forest too quiet. My wolf paced restlessly under my skin, her instincts prickling with that special kind of warning that got the hairs on the back of my neck to stand on end.I swallowed hard. “Something’s wrong.”Kade nodded, his silver gaze sliding over to me. “I know. Keep moving.”But the feeling just got worse.With every step we took, the discomfort tightened like a spring in my belly.We were stepping into something, and it has felt

    Chapter 70: Giving In To FateUnlike most of the time though—I was half the way through the black sticky forest when I felt the knot between Kade and me, deluging the space with the pulse of connection, thick and unyielding. Whenever I walked away, it pulled me back. It was all I ever wanted, and every time I tried to shove it down, to ignore it, the damn thing flared hotter, burning up my veins like wildfire. I hated it. Hated how my body reacted to him, hated how my wolf purred in response to his presence, how she wanted him regardless of what he was.Elias must have felt it, too, because he sighed dramatically behind us. “So, are we all just not going to acknowledge how you two are giving off enough sexual tension to burn this whole forest down, or —”“Elias,” I snapped, my patience already threadbare.“What? All I’m saying is, if you two don’t deal with this, like, soon, I’m going to have to step in and —”A growl ripped through Kade’s throat so fast, so savagely, that Elias actua

    Chapter 69: Bound in Blood and FlameWe doubled up and ran through the very green forest, the plants meeting us and loosening up. It was sharp air, full of damp earth and pine, the wind cutting through my cloak as we staggered toward the unknown.We’d been running for hours at a punishing speed, which I didn’t mind at all. Every second I spent was another second closer to losing my kids.Kade jogged next to me, his silver eyes raking the shadows for threats. He made no sound, just concentrated, but I could sense him, a fire licking my skin. The mate bond throbbed between us, raw and undeniable, a tie neither of us had asked for but could no longer ignore.Elias matched me on my other side, the usual smirk gone. Even he knew the stakes now. The rogue Alpha—who’d finally introduced himself as Maddox—lagged just behind, studying us with inscrutable eyes.The tension was thick. We all knew what we were getting ourselves into.But we did not speak it openly.Not yet.The Moment the World C

    Chapter 68: Tethered by Destiny, Severed by DesireKade’s utterance lingered between us, dense with unvoiced weight. Come back with me. Three little words, and yet they pierced like a knife to the ribs. My pulse thundered in my ears as I fought to suppress the heat in my chest, ignore the primitive fire burning all the more brightly in his silver gaze. I had run from one betrayal to another for years, had spent my entire life knowing how to survive without depending on anyone. Now fate was brazen enough to gift me a second mate? And not just anyone—Kade. An Alpha. A man I couldn’t afford to let into my life.I clenched my fists. “You do not get to demand this of me.”Kade’s jaw ticked. “No right? Jessica, you disappeared. No warning. No explanation. You gift me with a pack council on my heels defending you as you marched straight into rogue territory armed with a fucking dagger and nothing else but your stubbornness.”“I didn’t ask you to defend me,” I hissed, my voice slicing the air

    Chapter 67: Into the Lion’s DenAs we drew closer to the river, the noise of rushing water grew louder, the current filament weaving between dense foliage like a silver snake under the moon.As Elias and I passed through the bank, we looked around. The air was heavy with the smell of damp earth, pine, and something else — something unnatural.“We’re almost there,” I gasped, the adrenaline surging.Humming, Elias rubbed the back of his neck. “Yeah. Too close.”I frowned. “What do you mean?”He shot me a look. “I mean, we’ve been walking through rogue territory for hours, and no one’s tried to kill us yet.”I exhaled. “You sound disappointed.”Elias smirked. “Not disappointed. Just… suspicious.”I didn’t blame him.Rogues weren’t the sitting-waiting kind. If they knew we were coming — and I had no doubt they did — then why hadn’t they revealed themselves?I glanced at the area again, my wolf stirring under my skin.Something wasn’t right.As I stepped forward, a deep voice came from the

    Chapter 66: On the Road to the UnknownThe fire was low, crackling quietly in the still night. The weight of exhaustion lay against my bones, but sleep just wouldn’t. Not when my brain wouldn’t shut up.Not when I saw my children’s faces every time I closed my eyes.Elias had settled easily into the rhythm, gazing into the flames with a dazed sort of concentration, but I could tell he wasn’t entirely at ease either. He was waiting. Watching. Not for threats — though those would surely come — but for me.He was there waiting for me to crack.I wouldn’t want to give him the satisfaction.Instead, I curled in tight at the knees and looked into the darkness past the firelight. The forest surrounding us was silent, but it was a deceptive kind of silence. The kind that listened.That waited.“We should leave at first light,” Elias murmured, breaking the stalemate of silence.I exhaled. “Agreed.”“Unless, of course, you’ve suddenly decided to head back.”I shot him a sharp look. “You know th

    Chapter 65: A Mother's SacrificeThe fire crackled quietly and threw fluttering shadows on the trees. The night was quiet but my mind was anything but.I sat with my back to a fallen log, my cloak tightened around me, the flames dancing in my eyes. The heat barely reached the chill lodged deep in my chest.Because I allowed myself to think of them for the first time in days.My babies.My heart squeezed painfully at the vision of their little faces; I curled my fists.Their smell was still fresh in my mind — soft, new, unhindered by the world. The way they curled into me while they slept, the way their little hands grabbed for me outside of their understanding of what was happening.And I had left them.I had left them.Some nights, the guilt was unbearable.Like now.“Elias moved next to me, eyes fixed and unreadable on the fire. He had been quiet for some time, but I could feel his curiosity, how he was waiting for me to say something.I exhaled slowly. “They’re safe.”Elias looked
