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 42 — Aria's POV “I'm here,” Elara said, her voice carrying the weight of ancient magical knowledge. “I told you I'd be here when you need me.”The moment those words left her lips, the entire pack seemed to shift. It was like the very air became charged with supernatural energy, crackling with potential and mystery. My supernatural aspect went into overdrive – werewolf instincts bristling, witch energy humming, and something else, something deeper and more complex, stirring beneath the surface.Holy. Freaking. Supernatural. Chaos.“Well,” I muttered under my breath, “this is going to be interesting.”My heart was doing this wild tap dance against my ribs the moment Elara stepped into the room. Like, seriously? Of all the supernatural entrances I'd witnessed, this one took the cake.Victor was the first to move, his wolf energy crackling with this weird mix of respect and curiosity. Aiden and Liora flanked him, their supernatural senses on high alert. The air itself seemed to
Chapter 43 — Aria's POV As we rushed out, we could hear the rogue talking to the warrior that held him.“I need to speak to the Alpha. Now.”A rogue wolf, eyes wild and feral, shouted with a desperation that made everyone freeze. His voice cut through the tension like a knife, raw and unfiltered. The warrior gripping his arm looked uncertain, muscles coiled tight and ready to restrain him at a moment's notice.Victor moved first, his massive frame blocking the entrance. “Calm down,” he said, each word measured and deliberate.But the rogue wasn't having it. “I've got information that could save your entire pack,” he spat, struggling against the warrior's grip. “Alpha. Now.”Kane and Zane emerged, their presence immediately changing the atmosphere. It was like watching two predators assess a potential threat—calculated, dangerous, absolutely controlled.“Release him,” Kane commanded.The warrior hesitated for just a split second before letting go. The rogue stumbled forward, catching
Chapter 44 — Zane's POV “Take him to the dungeon,” I barked, my voice slicing through the tension like a knife.Marcus and Liam—our most hardcore warriors—stepped forward. Marcus, covered in battle scars that told stories of survival, gripped Ryker's arm with a grip that said more than words ever could. Liam positioned himself like a secondary shield, every muscle coiled and ready.Ryker? He didn't fight. Didn't resist. Just watched us with these eyes that seemed to be calculating every single move.I exchanged a look with Kane. One of those looks that said everything without saying anything. Something was off about this guy.“Victor,” I called out, “I want a complete background check. Every. Single. Detail.”Victor's nod was sharp. If there was dirt to be found on Ryker Steelclaw, he'd uncover it.Elara approached, her supernatural energy crackling around her like a living thing. “I can verify magically,” she offered.Kane's response was immediate. “Not yet. Traditional methods firs
Chapter 45 — Aria's POV The pack celebration buzzed around me like white noise, a constant reminder of how little I seemed to matter. Ryker, the mysterious new wolf who ran away from Azrael's captivity, was the center of attention. Kane and Zane huddled close to him, their heads bent in deep conversation. Victor was doing his analytical thing, dissecting every detail of Ryker's background, while Elara examined what she called his “supernatural signatures.”Me? I was wallpaper. Invisible. Irrelevant.My phone vibrated against my thigh, the screen lighting up with a message that made my breath catch.Selene.Just her name sent a shiver down my spine. In supernatural circles, she was legendary—a woman whose reputation preceded her like a dark, haunting melody.“Meet me. Now.”No pleasantries. No explanation. Just a command.The location was etched into my memory: an old botanical garden tucked at the edge of pack territory. Secluded. Private. The kind of place where supernatural secrets
Chapter 46 — Kane's POV The concrete was still smoking when I found her. Blue electrical energy danced across the ground like some wild, untamed thing. Aria lay motionless, her fingers twitching occasionally with residual magical power that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.“Zane,” I growled, “we've got a situation.”My wolf side was going crazy. Something was different. Something was wrong. The magical energy surrounding Aria wasn't just supernatural—it was alive. Sentient. And totally freaking unpredictable.I scooped her up, her body surprisingly light against my muscular frame. Her skin felt like it was vibrating with an energy I'd never encountered before. Not like a witch. Not like a wolf. Something… else.The pack medical facility was only a few minutes away, but each second felt like an eternity. Victor was already waiting, his analytical eyes scanning the moment we entered.“Put her here,” he commanded, gesturing to the specialized diagnostic table.The equipme
Chapter 47 — Aria's POV My eyes snapped open, and everything felt different.Like, seriously different. Not the kind of “oh, I got a new haircut” different. More like “I just became something entirely supernatural that doesn't play by any existing rules” different.The infirmary looked both familiar. Advanced supernatural equipment surrounded me, each machine flickering with readings that looked more like abstract art than scientific data. Victor stood nearby, his analytical gaze locked on me like I was some fascinating specimen.And the energy? Holy. Freaking. Supernatural. Wow.I could feel everything. Every magical current. Every supernatural frequency. It was like someone had turned up the volume on my entire existence to maximum.Kane and Zane rushed toward me, their wolf instincts practically radiating desperation and protection. I could see their memories flickering around them—pain, loss, about their first mate named Sarah.“Stop,” I said. The word came out differently. Powe
Chapter 48 — Kane's POV “Aria, NO.” I screamed.Magical energy exploded outward. The infirmary's supernatural barriers began to crack.Everything happened in slow motion and lightning-fast speed simultaneously—a supernatural paradox that defied every law I'd ever known.The sound was deafening. Not just a physical sound, but a supernatural resonance that vibrated through every cell of my body. Zane was beside me, his wolf energy crackling, our supernatural bond amplifying the shock of Aria's magical eruption.Her body radiating an energy I'd never seen before. Not a vampire. Not a werewolf. Not anything I could categorize. She was… something else entirely.Our mate. Potentially. If she'd even want us after everything.Sarah's memory flickered at the edge of my consciousness. The brutal rogue attack. The loss that had nearly destroyed Zane and me. And now this—Aria laying there, looking like she could obliterate everything with a single thought.“I'll reject you both,” she had said ea
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
