Echoes of the moon Chapter 73
Chapter 73 —Aria's POV Sunlight tickled my face. My eyes fluttered open to the peaceful infirmary, taking in the morning glow through the windows. For a moment, I just lay there, letting the warmth seep into my skin. After that cold cell, even simple sunlight felt like a miracle.Kane's head rested on my bed, his dark hair messy from sleep. A few strands fell across his face, moving slightly with each breath. His hand still held mine, just like he hadn't let go once in the past two weeks. The thought made my heart squeeze.Across the room, Zane was arranging what looked like hundreds of get-well cards on the windowsill, his movements careful and quiet. He'd changed clothes since yesterday — or was it still the same day? Time felt fuzzy around the edges.“You're staring,” Zane said without turning around, a smile in his voice.“Can you blame me?” My voice came out stronger today. “The view's not bad.”Kane stirred at the sound, probably sensing I was awake through our mate bond. His e

Chapter 74 — Aria's POV “Aria.” Zane's voice pulled me from sleep, gentle but urgent. “Wake up.”I blinked, taking in the early morning light filtering through the infirmary windows. Zane stood beside my bed, his expression a mix of excitement and concern that instantly had me alert. His dark hair was mussed like he'd been running his hands through it — something he only did when big things were happening.Through our mate bond, I felt his emotions before he could speak — joy, worry, hope all tangled together. “What is it?” My heart picked up speed. “Is everything okay?”Zane's lips curved into a soft smile, his eyes bright. “Your mother's awake.”Five seconds. That's how long it took for those words to sink in. Then I was pushing myself up, ignoring the weakness in my limbs and the way the room spun slightly.“Careful.” Zane steadied me as I swayed, his hands warm and strong. “You're still recovering.”“I don't care.” I gripped his arm, probably too tight. “Take me to her. Now.”He

Chapter 75 — Zane's POVI watched Aria's face carefully as the young warrior delivered his message about Jaxon. Through our mate bond, I could feel her heart rate spike, a mix of anxiety and old hurt coloring her emotions. The morning light streaming through the infirmary windows cast shadows across her face, highlighting the faint traces of exhaustion still lingering there.“Bring him here,” I ordered the warrior, keeping my voice steady despite my tension. “We'll meet him in the infirmary.” My wolf stirred restlessly beneath my skin, protective instincts warring with the need to maintain control.The young warrior nodded quickly, his anxiety evident in the way his fur rippled briefly across his skin before he got himself under control. “Yes, Alpha.” He disappeared down the hallway, footsteps echoing against the tile floors.Kane moved closer to Aria's bed, his protective instincts evident in the way he positioned himself. Our shared bond thrummed with his readiness to defend if need

Chapter 76 — Kane's POV Selene's words kept echoing in my head as I paced the command center. “He's coming.” Over and over, like a broken record. The maps spread across the table blurred together as my wolf prowled restlessly beneath my skin. Every instinct screamed to act, to fight, to protect.“Kane.” Zane's voice cut through my thoughts. My twin stood in the doorway, battle maps clutched in his hands. I felt his tension matching mine. Dark circles under his eyes suggested he'd gotten as little sleep as I had. “The pack's gathering.”I nodded, squaring my shoulders. Time to be the Alpha they needed. “Let's do this.”The walk to the hall felt longer than usual. Pack members we passed straightened instinctively, responding to the Alpha energy rolling off both of us. Their faces showed a mix of fear and determination – they knew something big was coming.The hall filled quickly, faces both familiar and new turning toward us as we entered. Elder wolves took their traditional positions

Chapter 77 — Zane's POV The sun hadn't fully risen when I stepped onto the training fields. Already, the sound of combat practice filled the air – pack members taking our warnings seriously. Metal clashed against metal, bodies thudded against training mats, and orders rang out across the morning mist. Good. We'd need that dedication.Through our mate bond, I felt Kane coordinating patrol shifts while Aria dozed fitfully in the infirmary. The three-way connection hummed with purpose, each of us focused on our tasks.Movement at the edge of the field caught my attention. Jaxon approached with a woman I didn't recognize. Even at this distance, she radiated predatory energy that made my wolf take notice. Scars marked visible skin, telling stories of battles survived. Her walk reminded me of a jungle cat – all contained power and deadly grace.“Zane.” Jaxon nodded in greeting. “This is Maya. The operative I mentioned.”Maya's golden eyes met mine without flinching – rare for a wolf facing

Chapter 78 — Aria's POV The ethereal light surrounding me felt different — not just a glow, but pure power coursing through my veins. I flexed my fingers experimentally, watching the silvery marks on my skin shimmer with each movement. The infirmary's familiar white walls seemed to pulse with the energy radiating from my body.“Incredible,” Mom whispered from her chair by the window, her eyes wide with wonder. The amazement on her face made my heart swell. After everything we'd been through, seeing her here, watching me with such pride… It meant everything.“Try lifting that water glass,” Victor suggested, pointing to the bedside table. “Let's see how your control is developing.”I focused on the glass, expecting to need effort. Instead, it practically leaped into my hand. “Whoa!”“Careful,” Victor cautioned, but he couldn't hide his excitement. He bustled around me with his instruments, muttering under his breath as each reading came back off the charts. “This is unprecedented. The

Chapter 79 — Aria's POV The morning sun hadn't even cleared the treetops when I stepped onto the training field. Power thrummed through my veins, different from yesterday — stronger, more focused. My skin practically buzzed with energy, the silvery marks casting subtle patterns on the ground around me. Warriors were already gathering, their eyes fixed on the ethereal glow emanating from my body.“Ready for the power assessment?” Victor called from his monitoring station. The equipment he'd set up looked like something from a sci-fi movie, with screens displaying wavelength patterns I didn't understand and sensors that hummed when I walked past them. “We need baseline readings before you start training.”I nodded, centering myself in the middle of his sensor array. The mate bond hummed in my mind, Kane and Zane's presence steady and strong. It felt different now — more like three streams flowing into one river than separate connections.“We're here,” Kane sent. 'Draw what you need.'“

Chapter 80 — Kane's POV Maya's words wouldn't stop echoing in my head as I paced the war room for what felt like the hundredth time. “Hundreds of them… maybe thousands… we're not ready.” The first hints of dawn were creeping through the windows, painting the tactical maps spread across the tables in shades of gray and pink. I hadn't slept. Couldn't sleep. Not with the weight of what we'd learned pressing down on me. Through our mate bond, I felt Aria's concern pulsing steadily. She was finally resting after the strain of maintaining Maya's link for so long — a rest well-earned after the incredible feat of power she'd displayed. Zane's presence was there too, a quiet strength supporting us both. The three-way connection had grown stronger recently, more integrated, but right now it just meant they could both feel my mounting anxiety. This couldn't wait until morning. I pulled out my phone and sent rapid messages to trusted members. We needed answers, and we needed them now. The fat

Chapter 72 —Aria's POV Consciousness came back weird. Like swimming up through layers of thick fog.The first thing I noticed was the softness underneath me instead of that cold cell floor. Then scents hit — antiseptic, healing herbs, and something that sparked a memory. Victor's special healing paste. I was in the pack infirmary.Someone was holding my hands. Both of them. The warmth felt familiar.My eyes felt like they were glued shut, but I managed to crack them open after a few tries. The dim lighting was a blessing after that harsh white cell.Kane was on my right, Zane on my left. Both passed out in chairs but still gripping my hands like they were afraid I'd disappear. They looked awful — dark circles under their eyes, clothes rumpled like they'd been wearing them for days.My opalescent scars pulsed gently, reflecting off the monitoring equipment surrounding the bed. Victor had set up his full healing array — IV drips, magical monitors, the works.I tried to say something,
