Caleb’s P.O.V

I was in a different room with Jade and a couple of other boys from the pack, trying to figure out which shirt would work best for the party.

“This one, or that one?” Jade asked, holding up a dark grey button-down in one hand and a plain black tee in the other.

“Neither,” one of the boys piped up, smirking as he lounged against the dresser. “He looks like he’s trying too hard either way.”

I groaned, rolling my eyes. “Maybe I’ll just go shirtless, make it easier for everyone.”

Jade chuckled, tossing the shirts aside. “At least you’d get some attention. Aurora might even—”

‘Caleb.’ Caroline’s voice suddenly burst through my mind like a lightning strike, her urgency slicing through the easy banter.

I stiffened immediately, catching the concerned looks of the others as they noticed my change in demeanor. ‘What is it? What’s wrong? You sound panicked.’

Her response was swift, almost breathless. ‘It’s Aurora. Caleb, listen to me. I was helping her put on her earrings when I sa

    Caleb’s P.O.VHarmona exchanged a quick glance with my father before focusing on me. “Did it look like the same transfer symbol?” I nodded. “Caroline was the one who saw it, but I think it’s the same. She’s sure of it.”Her lips pressed into a thin line. “It’s a very specific mark, one used in rituals where power or even souls are transferred. But…” “But what?” Jade piped up, leaning against the wall with crossed arms. Harmona hesitated, glancing between us before continuing. “If that’s what it is, it doesn’t make sense. The symbol is usually used to mark the recipient or vessel of the transfer. Why would Aurora have it? She’s… well, she’s not—” “Not what?” I pressed, my voice more forceful than I intended. “She’s not awakened…she doesn’t have her powers yet,” Harmona said finally. “It implies she’s… part of something much bigger than we’ve realized.” Alpha Camden rubbed his temples, muttering under his breath. “This complicates everything. If it truly is a transfer symbol, we n

    Aurora’s P.O.VAll day, I couldn’t help but notice how Caleb and Caroline stuck to me like glue, their attention unwavering as if my every move required their oversight. It was sweet, in a way—Caleb insisting I try a second helping of the fruit tart, Caroline holding my hand as we wandered through the crowd of guests that Alpha Camden had invited—but it was also exhausting.This was her birthday celebration, yet she seemed more concerned about whether I was comfortable than enjoying herself. I finally reached my limit after lunch, nudging the half-empty plate of dessert away and shaking my head when Caleb offered to grab me a drink. “I think I’m going to go check on Riley,” I said, my voice firm but casual. “I haven’t seen him all morning, and I want to make sure he’s taking his nap.” As expected, Caleb immediately volunteered to come with me, already half out of his chair. “I’ll come. You shouldn’t have to go alone—” “Caleb,” I interrupted, offering him a smile that I hoped looked

    Caroline’s P.O.VI stood quietly in the doorway, watching Aurora and Riley sleeping soundly. The steady sound of their breaths filled the room with a soothing rhythm that almost made me forget everything else for a moment. Riley’s little hand clutched Aurora’s larger ones, and Aurora’s arm too was draped over Riley’s smaller form. Aurora, as usual, looked serene, as if she didn’t have a care in the world. My lips curved into a soft smile, and I wished that she didn’t have nightmares anymore and woke up with the same peaceful expression.“Caleb,” I whispered through the mind link, not wanting to break the stillness around me. “They’re both fine. Let them rest here a little longer. I’ll come get them before the party starts.” His response was immediate, firm yet gentle. “Alright. But don’t overdo it, Caroline. You know how important it is tonight.” “I know,” I replied softly. “Thank you.” The connection faded, leaving me with the quiet hum of my thoughts. I straightened, pulling the

    Caroline’s P.O.VTears stung my eyes, and I looked away, ashamed. “I didn’t know how else to handle it, Mom,” I admitted. “You’ve always wanted what’s best for me, but sometimes it feels like what you want and what I want are two very different things. I couldn’t bear the thought of losing my independence, of losing… me.” She didn’t say anything for a moment, but then I felt her arms around me, pulling me into a hug so warm and tight that it broke something inside me. “Oh, my sweet girl,” she said, her voice thick with emotion. “I’m so sorry. I never wanted you to feel like you couldn’t talk to me, like you couldn’t trust me with your fears and your dreams. I only ever wanted to protect you.” I clung to her, the tears spilling freely now. “I just didn’t know how to tell you, Mom,” I whispered. She pulled back slightly, cupping my face in her hands. “Caroline, you never have to be afraid to tell me anything, no matter what it is. I promise you, I’ll listen. I’ll try to understand. A

    Aurora’s P.O.VI stirred to the sound of my name, soft and insistent. “Aurora. Hey, wake up,” the voice said, low but familiar. My eyes fluttered open, and there was Caleb, sitting by my bedside, a small smile playing on his lips.“Caleb?” I croaked, my voice rough from sleep. I pushed myself up on one elbow, blinking away the fog in my mind. The clock on the wall caught my eye, and I squinted. Nearly ten at night. “I slept this long?” I muttered, rubbing my temples. “Why didn’t anyone wake me? I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck.”He smiled faintly, leaning back in the chair he’d pulled up beside me. “You looked like you needed it. Besides, you didn’t miss anything. The party hasn’t started yet.”“What?” I sat up straighter, the thin blanket slipping from my shoulders. “But it’s so late! Isn’t it supposed to—?”“Midnight,” he interrupted, his tone easy, almost amused. “They always start around midnight. You know that. Mine did.”The memory hit me like a cold splash of water. His bir

    Aurora’s P.O.VI had never had so much fun in my entire life. The music was pumping, the room was filled with laughter, and I was surrounded by the best company. Caleb and I danced like no one was watching, lost in the rhythm, his grin never leaving his face. Every move felt natural, effortless.I caught Caroline pulling Damien onto the floor next, and I couldn’t help but laugh as he tried to keep up with her wild energy. “You look ridiculous!” I yelled over the music, and Damien just shook his head, laughing with me.But the best part was when Caroline pulled me to the dance floor. Her blue gown sparkled under the lights, and she had that same carefree vibe, making me feel like we could dance for hours. And we did. We danced through the entire night, completely lost in the music and in each other’s company. At one point, we paused to catch our breath, both of us smiling, hands on our hips. “This is the best night of my life,” she said, her voice a little out of breath but full of joy

    Aurora’s P.O.VThe pain hit me like a thunderclap, searing through every inch of my body. It wasn’t like anything I had ever felt before—like every nerve was on fire, every cell screaming in agony. I gasped for breath, but the pain only worsened, deepening in intensity. I clutched my chest, trying to hold myself together, but it was like something was breaking inside of me, and I couldn't stop it.Then, a light filled the room. A blinding light, like the sun had erupted inside the room. I closed my eyes, hoping for it to subside, but it didn’t. In fact, the light seemed to be growing stronger, more intense. But as my vision adjusted, I realized it wasn’t from some external source. The light—this searing, almost ethereal glow—was coming from me.I panicked. What is happening to me?"Help!" I screamed, my voice cracking as desperation surged within me. "Someone, please! Help me!" But I couldn’t stop. The energy was out of control, coursing through me like a wild river, and there was not

    Caleb’s P.O.VI gasped awake, my whole body screaming in pain as I sucked in a sharp breath. My head throbbed, my ribs ached, and for a second, I couldn’t even tell where I was. My vision swam, and I blinked rapidly, trying to focus. The scent of something burnt lingered in the air, mixed with the sickly sweet aroma of crushed cake and spilled drinks.I swallowed hard, my throat dry as I struggled to make sense of my surroundings. Then, like a dam breaking, the memories hit me all at once. The party. The laughter. The wind. The chaos. The moment everything turned upside down. “Shit…” I muttered, forcing myself to sit up despite the sharp protest of my muscles. My heart pounded as my eyes darted around, taking in the wreckage. Caroline’s birthday party was completely destroyed. Decorations were ripped apart, tangled ribbons fluttering weakly in the aftermath. Tables were overturned, food smeared across the walls, plates shattered. The string lights that had given everything a warm glo

    Aurora’s P.O.VThat night, after returning to my room, a storm raged outside, howling through the trees and rattling the windows like it was trying to force its way in. The air felt heavy, thick with something I couldn't quite name, pressing down on my chest as I sat curled up on the bed.Every light in the room was on, pushing back the shadows, but no matter how bright it was, I couldn’t stop my thoughts from drifting back to Lucas and what he had done. He had kept my mother’s skeleton in my room—my mother’s old room—like some twisted trophy, a constant reminder of everything he had stolen from me. The image was burned into my mind, and no matter how much I tried to push it away, it clung to me, wrapping around my thoughts like vines strangling the life out of something.I wasn’t angry that her skeleton had been destroyed when the house collapsed. If anything, I was relieved. That place—where I had suffered, where so many others had suffered—was gone, reduced to nothing but rubble and

    Aurora’s P.O.VI don't know how to answer him. The words sit on the tip of my tongue, but I can't bring myself to say them. Riley is watching me, his blue eyes so much like our mother's, filled with quiet expectation. And maybe that's what makes it worse. He doesn't know—he has no idea about the truth that has weighed on my shoulders for the past few days. He doesn't know that we're more than what he assumes us to be, that the blood running through our veins is the same, tangled in a history neither of us asked for.I should tell him. Maybe, in some twisted way, he deserves to know. But what good would it do? The past won't change. Our mother’s suffering won’t be undone just because the truth is spoken aloud. And so, I keep my mouth shut, my fingers curling against the fabric of my sleeve as if that might somehow anchor me in place.Riley tilts his head slightly, waiting. I need to say something. Anything. But my throat is dry, my mind blank, and I think he notices—because his brows d

    Aurora’s P.O.VThe tires crunched against the gravel road as we finally pulled into the DarkWater Pack’s territory. The journey had been long, but as we neared our destination, a different kind of weight settled over me. Anxiety, relief, and a strange sense of longing tangled together, making it hard to breathe. My fingers curled into the fabric of my pants, my knuckles turning white.As soon as the car came to a halt, Caleb was already at my side, offering his hand. I didn’t hesitate to take it, my legs slightly unsteady as I stepped out into the familiar land I once called home. The moment my feet touched the ground, a voice cut through the air, sharp and desperate.“Aurora!”My head snapped towards the entrance, my heart nearly leaping out of my chest. Riley.Before my mind could even process it, my body was already moving. I broke into a run, my lungs burning as I closed the distance between us. Riley was running too, his arms wide open, his face a mixture of overwhelming relief a

    Aurora’s P.O.VHis words were met with stunned silence, the weight of his generosity settling over the room. Relief crashed over me so suddenly that my legs nearly gave out.Ashton, Maggie and Avery, three people who had been tormented by Lucas and Harmon for so long, suffering the same fate as me and losing everyone they had…now they would finally have a permanent home. A place where they can breathe a sigh of relief without worrying about the horrible nightmares they had endured for so long.I turned to him, my eyes burning with unshed tears. "Alpha Camden, I... I don’t even know what to say. I can never repay this kindness."His expression softened as he reached out, resting a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "Aurora, child, you don’t owe me anything," he said gently. "You are Caleb’s mate, and you’re like a daughter to me. There is nothing to repay. Family looks out for each other. Always."His words broke something inside me, the last fragile wall of doubt and fear crumbling under

    Aurora’s P.O.VThe weight of their gazes pressed down on me, twin sets of piercing eyes scrutinizing our every move, our every breath. The two Alphas, towering figures of authority, sat before us, their expressions unreadable, their silence a vice squeezing at my lungs. I swallowed hard, my fingers twitching at my sides. Maggie, Ashton, the others—we were all standing in a row like criminals waiting for judgment. My heartbeat thundered in my ears, the room suffocating with tension as we waited for someone to speak first."Tell us everything," one of them said finally, his voice a low command that brooked no argument. "Every detail that might matter."A long pause. I could feel Maggie trembling beside me, her breath uneven. When she finally stepped forward, her voice was quiet, but the words she spoke sent ice through my veins."He kept them," she whispered, as if saying it too loud would summon ghosts. "The skeletons. Of our mothers. He... he preserved them. In our room."The silence

    Caleb’s P.O.VThe weight of everything crashed down on me all at once. The battle, the bloodshed, the loss, and the unexpected kindness that had followed. My body ached, my heart even more so, but for the first time in what felt like forever, I let myself believe that maybe—just maybe—things were going to be okay.I watched as Alpha Jackson finally nodded, his expression grim yet resolute as he took in the condition of the infirmary.“Under any other circumstance, this would have been a call for celebration.” He exhaled sharply, shaking his head. “But given everything… I don’t think any of us are in the mood for that.” His eyes flickered to me, searching for understanding, but I was already somewhere else in my mind. My focus had shifted entirely. I gave him a curt nod, my body already moving before my mind had fully caught up. “I’ll leave the rest to my father,” I muttered. The pack, the responsibilities, the politics—none of it mattered to me right now. Not when Aurora was still ly

    Caleb’s P.O.VI didn’t know how long it took to head back, especially with Aurora in my arms, cradled tight so I didn’t lose her warmth. My body was screaming at me to collapse, to give in to the overwhelming exhaustion that had wrapped itself around my bones. Every step toward Alpha Jackson’s packhouse felt like walking through quicksand, my limbs heavy, my breath shallow. But I couldn’t stop. The others needed help, and if I gave in now, I might not have the strength to bring them the rest of the way. Silvia was slumped against me, her small frame limp, her face still damp with the tears that had drained her of consciousness. I had held her as she sobbed, whispered reassurances I wasn’t sure I believed myself. Her cries had been so broken, so raw, that it had shattered whatever was left of my strength, but I refused to let her go. I owed her that much.The others were still unconscious, their bodies battered and weakened from the blood loss. It wasn’t just exhaustion—it was surviva

    Aurora’s P.O.VGuilt clings to me like a second skin, heavy and suffocating, as I step back into the circle. My hands tremble at my sides, and I barely muster the strength to lift my gaze. When I do, my heart clenches at the sight of Ashton and my two remaining siblings, their white dresses now soaked in blood, just like mine. The crimson stains tell a story I wish I could erase, a tale of choices made in desperation, of losses that will never be reclaimed. I swallow hard, my throat thick with emotion, but the weight of duty presses down harder than grief.Ashton begins the chant, his voice steady, unwavering. I try to focus, try to push aside the gnawing ache in my chest, but the image of little Violet’s face flashes in my mind. Her laughter, her tiny hands grasping mine just days ago—gone now, sacrificed to the very nightmare we tried to escape. A sharp sob threatens to escape, but I clamp my lips shut, my breath hitching as the first tear slips down my cheek. I know this is necessa

    Aurora’s P.O.VThe realization hit me like a punch to the gut, a knot forming in my throat. Violet was gone. I could see her absence in the space where she should’ve been standing, and she was nowhere to be seen in the group. The air around us felt empty without her presence."Violet!" I shouted, my voice cracking with panic. The chant faltered for a moment, but I quickly pushed forward, trying to concentrate. "She’s not here!"Ashton’s eyes flashed with alarm as he noticed our hesitation. He glanced around, his expression hardening. "Where is she?" he demanded, his tone cold, but it did nothing to hide the tension that coiled in his shoulders. “Oh god…did we…leave her behind?”Before I could answer, a high-pitched cry broke through the noise. Silvia, her white hair glowing like a beacon in the fading light, was wailing uncontrollably. Her small body trembled as she reached for the house that was crumbling to the ground. "Mama! Grandmama!" Her sobs tore at my heart.Alpha Jackson was
