Echoes of the moon Chapter 57
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 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 59 — Aria's POV “How do they even know about the prophecy?” I demanded, but the answer hit me before anyone could respond. “Azrael.”“The hunters have been watching our bloodline for generations,” Selene confirmed. “Waiting for the right moment. 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 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

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 62 — Aria's POV Pain. Then burning. Then… life.My eyes snapped open as electricity coursed through my veins. The burning sensation around my neck acted like an anchor, yanking me back from that strange void between worlds. My body felt like it had been hit by a truck, then set on fire, then frozen, all at once.“Holy shit,” I gasped, trying to sit up. Multiple hands pressed me back down. The prophecy chamber spun around me, ancient symbols on the walls pulsing with silver light that matched the burning in my veins.“Don't move,” Victor ordered, his medical equipment beeping frantically around me. “Your vitals are still stabilizing.” He was practically drowning in medical supplies, monitors showing readings that definitely weren't normal for any species.The curse marks covering my skin pulsed with dark energy. I watched in fascination as they slowly receded, leaving behind silvery scars that seemed to shimmer with their light. They formed intricate patterns I'd never seen be

Chapter 63 — Aria's POVI woke up feeling like my skin was trying to rearrange itself. The silvery curse mark were literally moving, shifting patterns under my skin like living tattoos. In the mirror, they formed intricate designs that seemed to tell stories — ancient battles, forgotten magics, secrets written in a language that hurt my eyes to look at.“Stop poking them,” Kane said from the doorway of our training room. His marks resonated with mine, creating weird light shows between us whenever we got close. “We've got work to do.”Right. Training. Because apparently having ancient curse marks, merged supernatural aspects, and whatever the hell happened yesterday wasn't complicated enough. The prophecy chamber's walls were still glowing, and random objects around the territory kept spontaneously developing magical properties. Fun times.I stood up from the training mat, trying to ignore how the room's shadows seemed to lean toward me. That was new. Like having a bunch of eager pupp

Chapter 64 — Kane's POV The shadows moved wrong.That was my first warning — watching darkness ripple and twist in ways that defied physics. My curse marks burned in response, resonating with Aria's power as she faced off against Vivian at our border. But something wasn't right. The darkness was too organized, too purposeful.Through our mate bond, I felt Aria's power surge like a tsunami. But before she could unleash it, everything went to hell.The shadow portals opened simultaneously — six of them, spaced in a perfect hexagon around our territory's perimeter. Each one ripped through our outer defenses like they weren't even there. Corrupted curse bearers stepped through in perfect formation, their marks pulsing with sickly dark energy that made my own marks recoil.“It's a trap,” I growled through the pack bonds. Beside me, Zane was already coordinating our warriors, our Alpha power merging seamlessly after years of practice.“Protect the vulnerable. Secure the inner sanctum. Don'

Echoes of the moon Chapter 95
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
Echoes of the moon Chapter 94
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
Echoes of the moon Chapter 93
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
Echoes of the moon Chapter 92
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
Echoes of the moon Chapter 91
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
Echoes of the moon Chapter 90
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
Echoes of the moon Chapter 89
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
Echoes of the moon Chapter 88
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
Echoes of the moon Chapter 87
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
