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 38 — Kane's POV The moment we stepped away from the supernatural trial, I could feel the tension crackling around Aria like a living, breathing thing. My twin Zane and I exchanged a look — we both knew this wasn't over. Not by a long shot.Jaxon might have lost the challenge, but something told me we hadn't seen the last of him. The way his eyes had burned with determination during the trial? Yeah, that wasn't the look of someone ready to walk away.“Are you okay?” I asked Aria, my hand instinctively finding hers.She looked… complicated. Her five supernatural aspects were doing this weird shimmer-and-pulse thing that I'd learned meant she was processing some seriously intense emotions. The wolf in her was growling softly, the vampire energy was dark and swirling, the witch's magic tingled, the demon felt restless, and the angel's light flickered like a candle in the wind.Zane moved closer, his presence a solid comfort. That's the thing about being twins — we didn't always n
Chapter 39 — Kane's POV We rushed to the border only to find Azrael's hunters trying to breach in.The moment Azrael's hunters breached our pack's borders, everything went into hyperdrive.Zane was already in motion before I could even process what was happening. His wolf energy exploded outward, a crackle with supernatural electricity. I'd always known my twin was a strategic fighter, but watching him coordinate our pack's defense? Pure supernatural magic.“They're coming from the northern and eastern quadrants,” Zane shouted, his voice cutting through the chaos.Aria's five supernatural aspects were in full battle mode. Her witch magic sparked like lightning, the wolf growled with primal intensity, vampire energy swirled dark and dangerous, the demon aspect burned with calculated fury, and the angel's light created a protective shimmer around our most vulnerable pack members.Victor appeared beside us, his vampire energy ancient and deadly. “These are not ordinary hunters,” he warn
Chapter 40 — Zane's POVAfter Azrael's attack and Vivian's escape, I knew we couldn't just sit around waiting for the next hit. My twin bond with Kane meant we were always thinking alike, but this time, I was taking point.“We need a plan,” I told Victor, my wolf energy crackling with determination.Victor's vampire eyes studied me. “Gathering intelligence on Azrael won't be simple.” He said.“No kidding.”I assembled our pack's most elite supernatural operatives. Not just fighters, but trackers. Magical communication experts. Supernatural energy specialists. The kind of team that could slip through magical barriers like shadows.“We need to find Azrael,” I announced.The war room hummed with holographic displays flickering with intelligence reports from our pack's reconnaissance teams. Maps painted in vibrant blue and red color covered the walls, each color representing different threat levels and movement patterns. The air crackled with tension, a mixture of magical residue and pur
Chapter 41 — Aria's POVOMG. Just when I thought things couldn't get any more complicated, the universe decided to throw another supernatural curveball our way.The room was buzzing with tension. I could feel my five supernatural aspects practically vibrating with anticipation. The anonymous message from our mysterious potential ally hung in the air like a giant, magical question mark.“We need to talk about this mysterious message,” Zane announced, his wolf energy so intense it made the air feel electric.Victor, looking as ancient and mysterious as ever, stepped forward. His vampire energy was doing that cool, intimidating thing where it seemed to fill the entire room. “The message requires careful analysis,” he said, his voice deep and calculated.Kane stood next to Zane, their connection is so intense you could practically see the energy connecting them. I watched as they exchanged one of those twin looks — you know, the kind that speaks volumes without a single word.“A mysteriou
Chapter 95 — EpilogueFive years passed faster than a witch's broom on a moonlit night. Standing on the newly built observation deck, I barely recognized our territories anymore — in the best possible way. The celebration for our fifth peace anniversary had transformed the grounds into a festival of supernatural proportions.“Mama! Mama! Watch this!” Luna's voice carried across the courtyard. My five-year-old daughter stood in the center of a circle of young supernaturals, her silver hair glowing with combined witch-wolf power. Blue sparks danced between her fingers as she created intricate patterns in the air.Not to be outdone, her twin brother Ash had somehow managed to scale the academy walls — again. His dark hair contrasted sharply against the white stone as he moved with inherited vampire speed.“Ash Alexander!” Kane's authoritative voice boomed across the grounds. “What did we say about using vampire abilities without supervision?”Our son's face scrunched up in that particula
Chapter 94 — Aria's POVSunlight streamed through our bedroom windows, and for once, I woke up exactly where I wanted to be — sandwiched between Kane and Zane. A month had passed since the Luna ceremony, and life had settled into a new kind of normal. Well, as normal as life could be when you're mated to two alphas and running a supernatural melting pot.“Morning baby,” Mom called from the doorway, already dressed and holding two steaming coffee mugs. “Your boys have already left for patrol. Something about checking the new boundary markers.”I untangled myself from the sheets, accepting the coffee gratefully. “You're a lifesaver.”“That's what moms are for.” She settled into the window seat, her presence still sometimes surprising me. After years of separation, having her back felt like a dream. “Want to grab breakfast and visit your father?” We made a grave for him in the pack house.An hour later, we stood before Dad's grave. The memorial garden had grown, now incorporating plants
Chapter 93 — Zane's POVThe full moon hung low over our pack grounds as I watched Kane spin Aria around the dance floor. Her white dress caught the light of floating witch orbs, making her look almost ethereal. After everything we'd been through — the fights, the near-death experiences, the world-ending threats — seeing her smile like that made every secret planning session worth it.“She looks happy,” Kane said, materializing beside me with two glasses of the blood wine the vampires had brought. Its dark red contents sparkled with unnatural luminescence. I accepted the glass, remembering our late-night scheming. “Speaking of outdoing ourselves, remember when you nearly got caught by that witch patrol while sneaking in fabric samples?”Kane snorted, his usual serious expression cracking. “Worth it. Though next time we plan secret ceremonies, maybe we skip the full moon timing. Do you know how hard it is to be stealthy when everyone's senses are heightened?”“At least the witches boug
Chapter 92 — Aria's POV I woke up to sunlight streaming through our bedroom windows and Zane's quiet cursing. Opening my eyes, I found him carefully hanging what had to be the most beautiful white dress I'd ever seen.“Shit, you're awake,” he muttered. “This was supposed to be a surprise.”“What's the dress for?” I sat up, noticing Kane's absence. “And where's our other mate?”Zane's face broke into a rare full smile. “It's for your Luna ceremony. You know, the one we never had time for between all the fighting and world-saving?”I blinked. “My what now?”“Luna ceremony. That thing where we officially recognize you as our Luna in front of the pack.” He crossed the room to sit beside me. “And before you say we don't need it — we know. But we want to do this properly.”“But-”A knock interrupted my protest. The door opened to reveal my mom, holding an ornate wooden box. Behind her, Kane wore the biggest grin I'd ever seen on his face.“Surprise?” he offered.Mom's eyes were already tea
Chapter 91 — Aria's POV The shimmering in reality solidified into a girl about my age. She had a vampire's pale skin but a witch's aura — something I'd never seen before. Her dark hair was tied back in a messy braid, and her clothes showed signs of long travel. Though she looked exhausted, her eyes burned with desperate hope.“Are you her?” Her voice shook slightly. “The one who unified all five races?”Before I could answer, Kane and Zane burst into the clearing, powers ready. The girl flinched but held her ground, hands raised to show she meant no harm.“I'm not here to fight,” she said quickly. “My name is Mira. I… I felt what happened. What you became. I had to come.”I lowered my hands, my enhanced senses detecting no deception from her. “I'm Aria. These are my mates, Kane and Zane. How did you find us?”“I followed the energy signature. I've never felt anything like it.” Mira's eyes filled with tears. “I thought I was the only one who was… different. Who didn't fit anywhere.”K
Chapter 90 — Aria's POV The walk back to pack territory felt endless. Each step reminded me how much had changed in the past few hours. My newly unified powers thrummed under my skin, while traces of purified magic from the nexus followed us like loyal puppies, creating weird light shows in the early morning air.“You're brooding,” Kane said, his hand finding mine.“I don't brood.”“You totally brood,” Zane chimed in. “We can feel it through the bond now. Very dramatic.”I rolled my eyes, but their teasing helped lighten the heavy atmosphere. Our enhanced mate bond let me feel their underlying tension though — we were all worried about what we'd find at home.The first signs of battle stopped us in our tracks. Deep claw marks scored ancient trees. The ground was scorched in patches where magical attacks had landed. The metallic scent of blood lingered in the air.Kane's grip tightened on my hand. “There was a major fight here.”Through our bond, I felt him cataloging tactical details
Chapter 89 — Aria's POV The nexus light hit us like a tidal wave, and time seemed to freeze. One second I was trying to warn Kane and Zane about what I was sensing, and the next we were all caught in some kind of shared vision. Pure magical energy coursed through our mate bond, stronger than anything I'd felt before.“Holy shit,” I whispered, watching golden threads of destiny weaving between us. Each strand pulsed with possibility, showing flashes of futures I couldn't quite grasp. “Are you guys seeing this?”Kane's grip on my hand tightened. “The threads? Yeah. What the hell is happening?”I could barely focus on his words as understanding slammed into me. My transformation hadn't just changed me — it had shifted the entire balance of supernatural power. The purified nexus beneath our feet was already acting like a beacon, calling to others who wanted unity instead of the endless fighting between races.“Aria.” Kane's voice cut through my racing thoughts. Through our bond, I felt h
Chapter 88 — Aria's POVPower surged through me in waves of colored light — all merging into an aurora that lit up the clearing like the northern lights. For the first time in my life, every part of me worked in perfect harmony. No more fighting against myself. No more holding back. Each aspect enhanced the others instead of competing for dominance.The energy radiating from my skin cast dancing shadows across the ancient stones. I could feel every pulse of power, every current of magic flowing through the area. My enhanced senses picked up things I'd never noticed before — the way the lines hummed beneath the earth, how the very air crackled with supernatural energy.“Impossible,” Azrael spat, gathering stolen power around himself like a shield. Dark magic crackled between his fingers, but I could see how it fought against his control. “Those abilities are mine now! The ritual was perfect!”I could see how sluggish my stolen powers were in his grasp, like trying to control a wild ani
Chapter 87 — Aria's POVThe first thing I noticed was Zane's arms around me, the lingering taste of his blood on my tongue. For a moment everything felt muffled, distant — like being underwater. Then my senses slammed back online with overwhelming intensity.Heartbeats thundered in my ears — not just Zane's and Kane's, but every living creature for miles. The frantic flutter of bird wings in the trees. The skittering of small animals fleeing the area. The steady thrum of ancient power beneath the earth. Everything crashed into my consciousness at once, a sensory overload that would have brought me to my knees if I wasn't already lying down.The tang of blood, sweat, and rage filled my nose. I could distinguish between them all — Kane's blood, tinged with alpha power. Zane's sweat, laced with desperation. Azrael's rage, bitter and acrid in the air. Power hummed through the ground beneath me, lines I'd never been able to perceive before now blazingly obvious, crisscrossing beneath the s
