Chapter 69: Bound in Blood and Flame

We 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.

    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 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 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

    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 74 – It’s His Way or The HighwayJessica inhaled sharply as the lunge of motion hurtled toward them.Instinct took over.She twisted, barely avoiding the collision as the figure slammed into Lucas, sending him tumbling to the forest floor. A growl reverberated in the trees, deep and guttural.Before Jessica could even react another shadow appeared, shimmering evil in the dark.They weren’t alone.A rogue.No—several.Her heart racing, she took a step back, surveying the trees. Lucas wrestled with the one that’d brought him down, his dagger glittering in the light as he slashed at the rogue’s flank.Jessica’s fists went clenched into fists. She had fought before. She had survived before.But this was different.These were rogues — fast, calculated. This wasn’t a random attack.They were waiting for her.She had hardly time to react before another lunged at her. She fell, rolled to the side and sprang up, her knee thumping between its ribs, then she slammed her elbow into its ba

    Chapter 75 – The Web WidensJessica and Lucas crept through the underbrush, moving quickly yet carefully through the forest, a strange silence around them. Every snap of twig or rustle of leaves felt like an accusation — someone watching, waiting. Jessica’s mind whirled with unanswered questions. Who had betrayed them? Why now? And most importantly, where were her kids?The thought of them made her chest feel tight. She could still see their faces in her mind — how they had looked up at her with trust before she had been forced to go. Then they were just babies, too young to understand why their mother had vanished from their lives. Years later, now, she didn’t even know if they remembered her.“Do you think they’re safe?” she suddenly asked, splitting the tense silence that had sat between them.Lucas looked back over his shoulder, his expression inscrutable. “I don’t know. But we’ll find out.”His words were not particularly comforting, yet Jessica held on to them. For weeks — no, m

    Chapter 76 — The Devil in the DetailsTo be sure, Kade walked forward, his shape silhouetted by a sun on the rise. Behind him, a group of warriors stood—his pack, their faces grim and unreadable. But it wasn’t their presence that made Jessica’s blood run cold; it was the way Kade was looking at her. His eyes flashed with a heat she couldn’t read — anger? Betrayal? Or something else that is much more dangerous?“Kade,” she gasped, her voice a whisper.He didn’t answer immediately, looking around at the scene in front of him, the roar of battle still raging around them, Lucas standing close by Jessica, protective as ever, and Selene leaning in the shadows, her expression unreadable. At last he spoke, a low voice laced with steel.“You’re not making this easy for me.”Jessica’s stomach churned. She had anticipated some anger from him after walking out so suddenly — but this? This felt different. As if he already knew everything.“What are you doing here?” she said, moving closer despite

    Chapter 77 – The Voice Within The voice hit Jessica like a thunderclap, jolting her to her core. It wasn’t just the sound of Bryan’s voice that startled her—it was the clarity, the raw emotion behind it. He sounded as real as if he were standing beside her, his breath warm against her ear. But that was impossible. Bryan was dead. She had mourned him, buried him in her heart, and carried his memory with her through every trial since. Yet here he was, speaking to her as though no time had passed at all. “Remember who you are, Jessica. Don’t let them change you.” Her knees buckled, and she stumbled back, clutching her head. Around her, the monstrous hybrids prowled, their glowing eyes fixed on her with an unsettling intensity. Selene watched silently, her expression unreadable, while Lucas hovered nearby, torn between concern and confusion. “What is it?” Lucas asked urgently, gripping her arm. “What’s wrong?” Jessica shook her head, trying to steady herself. “Did you hear tha

Each step echoed with a low, resonant hum, as if the void itself were breathing. Jessica led the way, her spark pulsing in rhythm with the violet light emanating from the structure ahead—a grotesque mockery of the nexus, its spires coiling like serpents around a core that throbbed with chaotic energy. The Weaver’s warning—*“The heart knows your name”*—clung to her like frost, chilling her resolve but not breaking it.Kade walked beside her, his claws glinting, his amber eyes scanning the void for threats. “This place feels like it’s alive,” he muttered, his voice low. “And it doesn’t like us.”“It’s not about liking,” Selene said, her spectral form gliding just above the path. Her light was faint but steady, her gaze fixed on the nexus. “It’s about hunger. Whatever’s in there—it feeds on disruption, on the

    Chapter 104 – The Shadow BeyondThe crumbling fortress roared around them, obsidian walls fracturing as the ground bucked like a living thing. Dust and ash choked the air, but Jessica’s eyes were fixed on the new portal that had yawned open behind her father’s shattered throne. Its edges pulsed with a sickly violet light, framing a starfield that was nothing like the nexus they knew. This one was frigid, its stars dim and jagged, as if carved from broken glass. The whisper that had emerged from it—“You’ve only begun to see the truth”—lingered in her mind, cold and sharp as a blade.“Jess, we gotta move!” Kade’s voice cut through the chaos, his hand grabbing her arm. His wolf form was gone, but his amber eyes burned with urgency as debris rained down.She nodded, tearing her gaze from the portal. “Go! Now!”The group sprinted toward the collapsing chamber’s exit, dodging falling stones and leaping over fissures that split the floor. Selene’s spectral form wove spells to deflect debris

    Chapter 103 – The Crimson FortressThe portal’s crimson and black swirl spat them out onto a jagged cliff, the air thick with the scent of ash and molten iron. Before them loomed the fortress Jessica had glimpsed in the mirror’s shards—a towering monstrosity of obsidian and bone, its spires piercing a sky choked with storm clouds. Flames licked the walls, casting an eerie glow that pulsed like a heartbeat. At its center, a single tower rose higher than the rest, its peak crowned with a golden light that felt wrong, like a mockery of the nexus’s starfield.Jessica’s hybrid senses flared, the spark within her now a steady flame, alert to the danger saturating the air. Her father was here—she could feel his presence, a cold weight pressing against her soul. The revelation of his survival, coupled with Lucas’s betrayal, churned in her gut, but she pushed it down. There was no room for doubt now. Not with her companions at her side.“This place gives me the creeps,” Lucas muttered, his dag

    Chapter 102 – The Mirror’s GambitThe void stretched around Jessica, an endless expanse of shadow and starlight where time felt like a distant memory. Her doppelgänger stood before her, golden eyes gleaming with a cruel certainty that made Jessica’s skin crawl. The figure was her in every detail—same dark hair, same hybrid glow in her veins—yet twisted, as if carved from her darkest doubts and sharpened by her deepest fears. The spark within Jessica burned hotter, a warning and a call to action, but it flickered with uncertainty. Could she fight herself and win?“You’re not real,” Jessica said, her voice trembling but defiant. She clenched her fists, golden energy crackling around her hands. “You’re just another trick of the nexus.”The doppelgänger’s smile widened, cold and sharp. “Trick? Oh, Jessica, I’m as real as you are. Every choice you’ve made, every moment you doubted yourself, every fear you buried—I’m the sum of them. And I’m here to finish what you’re too weak to do.”“Eno

    Chapter 101 – The Veil of EchoesThe starfield pulsed around them, each tiny light a heartbeat echoing through the vastness. Jessica stood rooted, her gaze locked on the constellations above—the wolf and the witch, their forms shimmering as if alive, with "Unity Is Strength" blazing between them. The words felt like a promise and a warning, heavy with the weight of choices past and those yet to come. Her hybrid blood thrummed in her veins, resonating with the nexus, but something new stirred within her—a faint, unfamiliar spark that made her skin prickle.“Are we just gonna stand here gawking?” Lucas muttered, his voice sharp but unsteady. He shifted his weight, dagger glinting in the starlight, his eyes darting as if expecting the stars themselves to attack.“It’s not about standing still,” Selene said, her spectral form flickering like a candle in a storm. “It’s about listening. This place—it’s trying to tell us something.”Kade’s growl rumbled low, his amber eyes narrowing. “I don

Yet, as they walked, the landscape began to shift subtly—almost imperceptibly at first. Colors bled into one another like watercolors on wet paper, and the horizon seemed to stretch and warp as though reality itself were unraveling at the edges. Jessica paused, her breath catching in her throat as she noticed it: the trees that had stood tall and still moments ago now swayed gently despite the absence of wind. The grass beneath their feet shimmered faintly, not with dew but with something more ethereal—a faint, otherworldly glow that pulsed rhythmically, like a heartbeat. “What’s happening?” Lucas muttered, his voice tinged with unease. He glanced around nervously, gripping his dagger tightly as if expecting an attack from the very air itself. “It’s adapting,” Selene replied softly, her spectral form flickering faintly. Her gaze darted across the shifting scenery,

The air was thick with an otherworldly energy, making it hard to breathe—not from lack of oxygen, but from the sheer weight of what surrounded them. Jessica stared at the constellations above: one shaped like a wolf, the other like a witch. Between them burned the words **"Unity Is Strength,"** glowing brighter with each passing second. Her hybrid nature surged within her, responding instinctively to the celestial display. “What is this place?” Lucas asked hoarsely, his voice barely audible over the hum of energy resonating through the starfield. “It’s not a place,” Selene murmured, her spectral form flickering faintly. “It’s… a nexus.
