Chapter 29 — Aria's POV

The pack house felt different after everything that went down. Different, but somehow safer. My body ached in places I didn't even know could ache, and my supernatural energy felt like a live wire randomly sparking inside me.

“You're awake,” a familiar voice said.

I turned my head to see Zane sitting beside my bed, his eyes watching me with this intense mixture of concern and relief. God, I'd run from him. From both of them. And they still showed up. Still protected me.

“Hey,” I croaked, my throat feeling like I'd swallowed sandpaper.

Kane appeared on my other side, holding a glass of what looked like some supernatural healing smoothie. Trust my mates to have a magical drink ready for every situation.

“Drink,” Kane ordered, but there was softness in his voice. Not a demand. More like a request wrapped in pure love.

The drink tasted like berries mixed with something herbal, and… was that a hint of magic? Probably. Everything in our world had a supernatural twis

    Chapter 30 — Aria's POV My hands wouldn't stop shaking as I tried to explain the vision.“The moon,” I started, swallowing hard. “It was blood-red. But not like a normal lunar eclipse. This was… different. Wrong. Like someone had painted the sky with actual blood.”Kane was pacing, wolf energy crackling around him like static electricity. I wanted to reach for him, to calm him down, but I could barely keep myself together.“Azrael wasn't alone,” I forced the words out, feeling my throat tighten. “There was an army of rogue wolves and hunters. Dozens of them.”The room went dead silent. Even the magical runes on the walls seemed to dim.That's when it hit me again – the full force of what I'd seen crashing through my mental barriers. My hybrid energy went haywire, golden angelic light mixing with demon shadows around me like some kind of supernatural light show gone wrong. Great timing, powers. Really great.“Breathe, young one,” Liora stepped forward, her angelic energy reaching out

    Chapter 31 — Aria's POV I woke up before dawn, which was weird enough on its own. Usually, Kane had to practically drag me out of bed for morning training. But today? My whole body was buzzing with energy. Like someone had plugged me into a supernatural power socket overnight.The pack bonds felt different too. Stronger. Clearer. I could sense everyone's energy signatures weaving together, and for once, my hybrid nature wasn't fighting against it. Instead, my power hummed in harmony with the pack's collective energy. Progress, right?“You're up early,” Kane said, finding me already dressed in training gear. He did that adorable double-take thing that always made me smile. “Who are you and what have you done with my mate?”I stuck my tongue out at him. Real mature, I know. “Maybe your training schedule is finally working. Or maybe I'm just awesome.”“Both,” Zane said, appearing with coffee. Have I mentioned how much I love my mates? Because coffee-bearing mates are the best mates.Mor

    Chapter 32 — Aria's POV “Who are you?” I whispered, even as something deep in my hybrid nature responded to his presence.“I'm Aiden,” the stranger said, his voice calm and authoritative. “Your wolf guardian.”The pack house went completely silent. Time seemed to stop. Every supernatural being in the room froze, their collective energy creating a thick, almost tangible tension. Kane and Zane immediately moved, positioning themselves between Aiden and me, wolf energy crackling like live electrical wires. Their protective instincts were so synchronized it was almost beautiful — as if we weren't in the middle of a potentially catastrophic moment.“My wolf Guardian?” I repeated, my five aspects suddenly buzzing with recognition, especially my wolf. It was like each part of my hybrid nature was having its own internal conversation, responding to Aiden's presence in ways I couldn't fully understand.Victor, stepped forward, pulling out a complex magical device that looked like a cross betw

    Chapter 33 — Aria's POV The next morning, Kane woke me up early to start training with Aiden. And when I say early, I mean ungodly early the kind of early where even the birds are still hitting snooze on their internal alarms.“Rise and shine, hybrid,” Kane said, much too cheerfully for the ungodly hour. His hand was on my shoulder, gently waking me up. I groaned and pulled the blanket over my head.“Five more minutes,” I mumbled.Kane's laugh was pure wolf-a deep rumbling sound that meant business. “Aiden's waiting. No more delays.”The moment I heard Aiden's name, something inside of me shifted. My five aspects, but most of all my wolf, stirred with a near electric anticipation. It was as if every single part of me knew something big was about to happen.I dragged myself out of bed and saw myself in the mirror, a mess, my eyes still with the heavy weight of sleep, but there was just something different. A type of potential energy humming, just beneath my skin.Zane was already up,

    Chapter 34 — Aria's POV My body felt like a battlefield. The wolf training with Aiden from yesterday had transformed every muscle into a reminder of supernatural intensity. Each movement sent waves of protest through my body — a symphony of exhaustion that screamed with every single stretch.The morning light crept through my window, casting soft shadows across my room. My hybrid body was both a blessing and a curse. Recovery wasn't normal. It was magical, complicated, and intense.Kane appeared at my doorway, a knowing smirk playing on his lips. “Victor's waiting,” he said, tossing me a specially designed training outfit. Midnight black, with intricate magical reinforcements woven into the fabric. It looked more like supernatural armor than training gear.“Vampire training,” I groaned. “Because wolf training wasn't intense enough?”I dragged myself out of bed, only to find Zane already up and watching me with those intense eyes that seemed to see right through me. “You should get re

    Chapter 35 — Kane's POVThe moment Victor's body hit the wall, time seemed to stand still. My supernatural senses went into overdrive, a tsunami of magical energy washing over the training room like a violent storm. Aria stood frozen, her five aspects crackling with uncontrolled power.“Aria,” I said softly, taking a careful step forward.Her eyes were wild, a mix of terror and raw, unfiltered power. The magical symbols on the floor continued to crack, and the protective barriers Victor had meticulously constructed were disintegrating like paper in a hurricane.Victor wasn't dead. I could sense his supernatural healing already beginning, his vampire nature working overtime to repair the damage. But Aria? She was on the verge of a complete magical breakdown.“Hey,” I whispered, using the calm tone I reserved for our most intense moments. “Look at me.”Zane appeared in the doorway, his energy instantly syncing with mine. We'd learned to communicate without words, our mate bond allowing

    Chapter 36 — Kane's POV The room fell into a heavy silence as Selene studied Aria. Her eyes—a complex mix of silver and midnight blue—seemed to look through Aria rather than at her.“Who are you?” Aria asked, breaking the silence in the room.“I'm Selene Nightfire,” she began, her voice carrying the weight of centuries. “The forgotten sister of your mates. The cursed one.” She moved with a grace that was neither. Her movements suggested a being caught between multiple worlds—much like Aria herself.Victor stepped forward, a protective instinct blazing in his vampire eyes. “Selene Nightfire,” he acknowledged, a hint of respect and caution in his tone.Zane and I flanked Aria, our mate bond creating an invisible protective barrier. Something about Selene felt… dangerous. Not in a threatening way, but in a way that suggested she carried secrets that could tear our entire world apart.“You're Aria Ravenshadow,” Selene said, her voice a mix of ancient wisdom and deep pain. “And you're m

    Chapter 37 — Zane's POV Kane and I rushed out of the meeting room, our wolf energy was crackling with tension. Selene's revelations about the prophecy were still echoing in our minds, but Mira's urgent announcement about Jaxon's arrival at the pack's eastern border demanded our immediate attention. “This can't be good,” I muttered, my muscles already coiling with anticipation. Kane's jaw clenched. “Jaxon's got some nerve showing up again.” The pack grounds were a blur as we raced toward the eastern border. Our supernatural speed meant we covered ground faster than any human could comprehend. The forest around us seemed to pulse with our collective energy, trees bending slightly as we passed. Aria was right behind us, her five supernatural aspects creating a complex magical aura that rippled through the air. I could feel her determination, her curiosity, and her underlying tension. Whatever Jaxon wanted, she was going to face it head-on. When we reached the border, Jaxon s

    Chapter 61 — Aria's POV Everything stopped.The chaos of battle, the screams, the explosions — it all faded to white noise as I stared at Kane's broken body. Black energy pulsed from the wound in his chest, eating through him like acid. Each tendril of darkness left decay in its wake, turning his skin ashen gray.“No, no, no,” I chanted, my hands hovering over him uselessly. Power surged beneath my skin, all four of my supernatural sides responding to my distress.“Let us help,” Nyx materialized beside me, my vampire side's presence cold and deadly. Her usually controlled demeanor cracked with desperation. “Our blood can heal.”“The pack's defenses are failing,” Vesper growled, my wolf pacing in agitated circles around us. Through her eyes, I saw Azrael's forces pressing harder against our weakening barriers. “But he comes first. Always first.”“His soul is slipping between realms,” Astra's voice shook, my witch's power reaching for Kane with spectral hands. “The weapon was designed

    Chapter 60 — Zane's POV Silver light erupted from her position, expanding into a massive dome shield over the entire pack territory. All four of her supernatural aspects manifested simultaneously, feeding power into the barrier. The sight was both beautiful and terrifying — a physical manifestation of just how unique our mate truly was.But something was wrong with Kane.Dark energy gathered around him during the most intense fighting, almost like…like Selene's curse marks. The realization hit me like a physical blow. Whatever she'd shown him in that prophecy chamber was affecting him on a fundamental level.No time to process that. Because there, in the shadows — Azrael.The hunter commander stood back from the main battle, directing his forces with cold precision. His scarred face showed no emotion as he observed the carnage. Kane caught my eye again. Together, then.“Hold the core!” I called to Aria through our bond. Her acknowledgment came with a pulse of power that made the air

When you bonded with my brothers…” She shook her head. “It was like lighting a beacon.”Another explosion rocked the building. On the screens, more red dots appeared.“Enough theory,” Zane growled. “We need action. Aria, can you-”Power surged through me before he could finish. All four of my supernatural aspects responded at once, their combined strength making the air crackle.“I can hold them back,” I said, letting Vesper's vampire speed mix with Nyx's wolf strength while Astra's magic twined through Raze's demon fire. “But I need to know everything. Now.”Selene moved further into the room, her curse marks casting purple shadows on the walls. “The full prophecy speaks of three paths. One ends in darkness consuming everything. One

    Chapter 58 — Aria's POV Something was wrong with Kane.The thought hit me the moment I woke up, the mate bond between us pulsing with the darkness he was trying desperately to hide. My hand instinctively reached for the space beside me, still warm from where he'd slipped away before dawn. Again.Three days since his meeting with Selene. Three days of forced smiles and careful distances. Three days of secrets burning through our bond like acid.“He's protecting you,” Vesper, my wolf side, murmured in my mind.“Or protecting himself,” Nyx countered, my vampire aspect's thoughts cool and calculating as always.“The magic knows,” Astra, my witch side, whispered. *It always knows.*“Then let's make him tell us,” Raze growled, demon fire crackling through my veins.I pushed back the covers, frost spreading where my feet touched the floor. My power had been unstable lately, responding to the emotional turmoil churning through the mate bond. The room's temperature dropped another few degrees

    Chapter 57 — Kane's POV The sacred grove thrummed with ancient magic as I cornered Selene beneath the eldest oak. Lightning crackled between us, moon magic making the air taste like metal and memories. My sister's curse marks writhed across her skin like living shadows, darker than I'd ever seen them.“Start talking,” I growled, letting my Alpha power leak into my voice. The trees around us shuddered. “What did you mean about sacrifice?”Selene's laugh was bitter, hollow. “Still trying to intimidate your sister, Kane? Some things never change.” She traced one of her curse marks absently. “Though everything else is about to.”Thunder rolled overhead despite the clear sky. Through my bond with Zane, I felt his growing unease back at the pack house. Through my mate bond with Aria, an echo of power that made my own curse marks burn beneath my skin.“No more games, Selene.”“Games?” Her eyes flashed purple-black. “You think this is a game? Our family has paid in blood for generations. I'v

    Chapter 56 — Zane's POV My boots echoed against the stone steps as I raced down to the ritual chamber. The magic in the air was wrong – electric and ancient and dangerous all at once. My Alpha senses screamed warnings with each step.Something had changed. Not just in the air or the magic, but in the very fabric of reality itself.The massive wooden doors were already open, torchlight spilling into the corridor. The scent of ozone and power hit me like a physical wall. And beneath it all, the unmistakable combination of Kane and Aria's scents, twisted with something else. Something otherworldly.I burst into the chamber and froze.Kane knelt down and cradling Aria's trembling form. But this wasn't just the aftermath of the ritual. Aria's skin literally glowed, as if she'd swallowed starlight. Silver patterns crawled across her exposed skin like living tattoos, shifting and changing with each shaky breath she took.“What happened?” I demanded, dropping to my knees beside them. The sto

    Chapter 55 — Aria's POV “You can have everything,” Dark-Aria whispered, her words echoing through the supernatural void. “Ultimate power. No more doubts. No more human weaknesses or more pain.”I stared at my darker self — perfect, powerful, and absolutely terrifying. She was everything I could become if I just let go. The raw energy radiating from her made my supernatural core ache with want. Her eyes, darker versions of my own, held centuries of potential power.“And what's the price?” I asked, though I already knew. There was always a price.Dark-Aria's smile was beautiful and cruel. “Only everything that makes you weak. Your messy human emotions, your limitations, and attachments.” She said the last word like it was poison on her tongue.The void around us shifted, showing memories like movie scenes. Every moment I felt weak. Every time, my human side had held me back. Every failure that had ever haunted me.“Look at yourself,” Dark-Aria circled me, her movements liquid grace. “T

    Chapter 54 — Kane's POV I couldn't stand still.Every step I took around Aria's motionless body felt like torture. The ritual circle pulsed with otherworldly energy, keeping her suspended between realities while she faced her trial. But I was stuck out here, useless. The purple-tinged barrier around her shimmered mockingly, keeping me from reaching her when she needed me most.My hands clenched into fists as another wave of magical energy rippled through the chamber. The ancient stones in the walls seemed to pulse in response, their crystalline structures amplifying whatever was happening in the trial realm.“Kane, wearing a hole in the floor won't help her,” Victor said from his monitoring station, fingers flying over his tablets and sensors. The tech-savvy supernatural had surrounded himself with enough equipment to stock a small laboratory.Easy for him to say. He had his scientific equipment to focus on.

Wherever “here” was?A mystical realm that wasn't quite reality. Wasn't quite a dream. Something in between. A supernatural limbo that existed somewhere between my consciousness and… something else.The environment around me wasn't static. It shifted. Morphed. Reflected something deeper than physical space.My memories.My fears.My insecurities.They weren't just memories anymore. They were living, breathing supernatural entities.First, I noticed the silence. Not an absence of sound. But a presence of something more profound. A supernatural quiet that was somehow louder than any noise I'd ever heard.Then, movement.A shadow.
