Fated to my Twin Brother CHAPTER 16
Hannah's P.O.V.The sun was starting to peek through the leaves, casting spotty shadows across the training grounds. I had been awake for a while already, so when I heard Elisse's voice calling me over, I knew it was time to get moving. We headed out to meet a group getting together by the river for a round of sparring drills. The air was crisp, carrying that earthy scent mixed with some pine-forest scents pretty prevalent here.As we walked Elisse chirped away with all the brightness of her voice, while my thoughts were still all wound up in that conversation with Hadzen yesterday. His words had been like prickly thistles; they reminded me of how much distance he kept between us. But Elisse, full of spirit and energy, was a boon distraction; she seemed determined to be keeping me smiling, breaking walls around me open with her infectious humor."So, any plans to finally corner your dear twin brother and demand a heart-to-heart?" she asked, her voice going teasing as she nudged me pla

I was leaving school the next day, so mentally prepared myself for the weekend. I was to receive some training from my parents. It was kind of a rare freedom from a stormy couple of days that had hit like a gust of wind at my place. As I stepped out into the courtyard, a voice stopped me."Hannah!"I saw Sonia come running to me, her face a mixed expression of nervousness and relief. Her shoulders were tight, but there was something about her that was different-an air of resolve that I hadn't seen before."May I have just one minute? Just three minutes," she asked, catching her breath."Of course," I said, curious. "Is everything okay?"She nodded, though her smile is small. "Yes. Much more than all right, actually." She turned her head briefly, as if marshalling her thoughts. "Dr. Philip. he's gone. He quit the school. He isn't teaching here any more."Shock mixed with relief flooded through me like a cold splash of water, and then I couldn't help but break into a grin. "Good. We don

We walked in silence back towards the pack grounds. The tension was seeping from my body, yet it lingered in the air, there, like an unspoken reminder of everything that had just transpired. My heart was still pounding furiously, my hands shaking slightly still, but with Hadzen beside me, a steady presence, a curious calmness crept over me.As we approached the clearing that would lead us into the main grounds, I glanced sidelong at Hadzen. He walked with his usual coolness, his eyes fixed ahead, but I could see a faint bruise forming along his jaw from where Dr. Philip had managed to land a punch."Okay?" I said softly.He looked at me, no expression on his face. "I'm fine," he said shortly. Then, after a moment, relaxed. "Are you all right, Hannah?"I breathed, nodded. "Yeah, I guess so. It was. terrifying, but I just wish you'd been there."He nodded slightly, and then we fell into silence once again. I wanted to ask him a million questions, but my words were simply not coming. I w

The morning air was crisp, the sun just peeking over the treetops as I stepped out into the training yard. I could feel the energy of the pack around me, the weight of generations and legacy pressing down like a soft but constant hum. Today was the start of something new—a chance to train and truly prove myself, not just to my family, but to myself.Hadzen stood in the center of the clearing, his arms crossed as he watched me approach. His gaze was assessing, calculating, but there was a glint of something else—something almost encouraging."Ready?" he asked, his tone neutral but somehow warmer than usual.I nodded, feeling a strange mix of anticipation and nervousness fluttering in my chest. “I think so.”Our parents were nearby, standing on the edge of the clearing. Mom looked calm but attentive, her gaze flicking between Hadzen and me. Dad, however, wore a small smile, the kind of look that was both reassuring and a little intimidating. I could tell he was silently judging every mo

Morning crept in gently and golden, shining through the tall windows of the pack's main hall where breakfast had been laid out. I found myself drawn to the lively chatter of the dining area, my thoughts already drifting to the training I would share with Hadzen. He had grown distant lately—especially since Dylan had begun spending more time with me. I take a glance across at him, arms folded, yet his eyes are sharp and focused, but not meeting mine. His usual calm exterior seems colder and more distant. It looks like there is an invisible barrier that has once again gone up between us.I just felt him weighing his gaze upon me and then heard the familiar voice by my side. "'Hannah!' I beamed at the warm, easy smile as Dylan slumped into the seat beside me. 'You game to do some training later? I just can't wait to get it all to you that I picked up while you were off gallivanting in the human world.'"I laughed in response, appreciative of his light-heartedness. "I'm kinda wondering n
Fated to my Twin Brother CHAPTER 21
It was a fairly sharp morning air, and the thin veiling of mist had yet to rise from the borders of the forest when I walked toward the clearing wherein Dylan had requested me meet him. The yesterday's intense training with Hadzen, and the since distance he'd kept, were surely stirring within my breast a mix of tension and apprehension, but this small escape seemed much needed. Maybe I needed space; maybe I needed room to breathe, to take a step away from everything and then exhale slowly. Or maybe, if I was being honest with myself, I just wanted to be around someone who made things simple.As I drew closer to the clearing, Dylan was leaning against a tree with a goofy grin playing across his lips and his arms crossed. "Thought you might bail on me," he teased, pushing off from the tree and standing upright.Not a chance, I said, trying to catch his light-hearted mood. 'I could use a break from everything.'.He laughed, pulling us into the woods, deeper into the area, away from the w
Fated to my Twin Brother CHAPTER 22
As we walked back from the clearing, I couldn't help sneaking these sideways glances at Hadzen, studying his face. His expression was still as guarded as ever, a mask of calm that only touched his eyes occasionally. That tension between him and Dylan had hung in the air, an almost material presence. I did not know what was going on, but it felt keenly in my chest-an unease I couldn't shake.Finally, as we came closer to the main path, I said, "Hadzen… are you and Dylan okay?"He didn't answer me. His eyes straight forward. "We're fine."There was finality to the sentence, like that was said. Still, something in his voice doesn't seem right to me, and I knew he wasn't truthful with me. I went forward, hesitant but determined."Are you sure? Because it feels like there's something between you two… something unresolved."Hadzen's jaw tensed, and for a second, I thought he might shut down completely. Then he exhaled softly and cast me a glance from the corner of his eye. "Dylan and I have

### Chapter 23Hadzen and Hannah trained in a clearing, the morning sun filtering down through the tree canopy to light up their sparring practice at every slight shift of light: challenge, mistrust, and something unspoken now hanging in the air.Hadzen circled Hannah, his eyes fixed, almost unfocusing. Every move he made seemed deliberate, calculated, as he sized her up, his gaze unyielding. "Your balance," he said in a tone that brooked no argument, "is everything. Without it, any opponent will find an opening.".Her footing shifted, serious concentration etched into her features as she attempted to replicate his shape. She settled down, her eyes snapping with a flicker of determination as she strained on every word, each lesson. Her muscles burned from the exertions, each repetition building on the last, but she held her ground, refused to allow the gnawing exhaustion upon her limbs show.He just watched, arms crossed, his face unreadable. Although she was improving, he remained al

The glow of the ancient door receded into the darkness, and the power left it was like a protective shield over those gathered in the clearing. The door swung all the way open and a voice thundered through the silence. "Hannah!" Maxine's voice stabbed with worry; her silhouette on the dim light of the doorway.Hannah spun, and tears streamed down her face as she saw her mother step into the clearing, flanked by Alpha Alph and several members of the Hampton pack. Their presence intimidated her: strength pulsed out in waves."Mom!" Hannah called out, her voice breaking as she stumbled toward Maxine.The smirk vanished off Ronald's face the moment he laid eyes on them. He slid back one step and his boldness crumbled at the sight of a pack. His eyes darted between Maxine and Alph, the ferocious leaders who made even the sturdiest foes bend over their knees."Dammit," he cursed under his breath. With no hesitation, he ordered to the few wolves left, "Retreat!The wolves scattered like shad

The night cast an eerie stillness in the forest, but the crimson glow of the full moon was radiant as it hung low in the blood-stained sky. Its wide face cast creepy shadows on the forest floor, and the air was heavy with an impending sense of doom that neither Hadzen nor Hannah could ignore."Let's just wait here," Hadzen muttered, breaking the tense silence. His voice was gruff, his eyes fixed on the distant horizon. "We don't want to go back to that crazy woman." Hannah glanced at her brother, perplexed. "What are you talking about?"Hadzen's jaw clenched as he let out a frustrated huff. "Amara," he said begrudgingly, his mind flashing all too briefly back to her earlier antics. Her sudden kiss had caught him off guard and made him annoyed and more than a little flustered. "You know what she did earlier… never mind. It's not important."She gazed at him questioningly, then decided not to inquire any further. There was something in Hadzen's stance and the far-off look in his eyes t

The dimly lit room in the Hampton mansion was full of solemnity. Ancient artifacts in the pack's history surrounded Alpha Alph as he stood before the pedestal that housed the key. It was no ordinary key—the design was intricate, engraved with symbols of unity and strength, and it radiated a faint, mystical glow.Alph stared at it, feeling the weight of the decision crushing down on him. This was the key that could open the gates of Hampton - they had been the gates securing their territory for generations. Once opened, though, they could never be closed again: the magic that bound the gates was total; the decision was irrevocable.His hand floated over the key. **Was it the right decision?** He knew what the consequences of opening the gates meant: to let the world come in, making his pack vulnerable to enemies such as Leo. But the eclipse essence was close to awakening; Maxine needed every advantage to safeguard it.Alph's mind swirled. He could not fail her. He could not fail the fa

The moon was heavy in the sky, its silvery radiance pouring across the scorched land where Hannah and Hadzen waited. Charged air imponderable held its breath. Hadzen stood against jagged rock, his sharp eyes ranging across the ground, every muscle in his body tense. He didn't trust silence. Silence was dangerous-a precursor to chaos. Hannah sat beside him, her arms wrapped tight around her knees, eyes pinned on the door to Hampton. She could see it looming there, ancient and unyielding, its runes faintly glowing in the darkness. Hours had passed, yet no sign of the barrier opening showed in the distance. Her chest was tightening with frustration and helplessness. Hadzen's impatience she could feel like a storm, brewing up beside her. Hadzen finally broke the silence, his voice sharp and cold. "How long are we supposed to sit here? This isn't going to open itself, Hannah gazed at him but said nothing. She really had nothing to say. How would she know? That she didn't know? That she

The quiet streets of Hampton slumbered in a soft, golden light as sunset fell, old cobblestones painted with shadows. Sonia stood in the front yard of her small house, twisting the hem of her dress round and round with her fingers as her heart thudded in her chest. Across from her stood Dylan, his presence commanding and steady as always, except tonight his warmth seemed absent."You told Hannah about the human world, didn't you?" His voice wasn't loud, but the disappointment in it struck harder than any shout.Sonia looked away, guilt pooling in her chest. Her words felt small as she spoke. "I… I didn't mean to make things worse."Dylan's brow furrowed, and for a moment, he said nothing. That silence made her fidget, her fingers twisting harder at the fabric of her dress. "You do realize what you've done?" he asked finally, breaking the quiet. "Hannah already questions everything: her memories, her identity. The human world is just another baffling addition."I know!" Sonia's voice c

Quiet streets of Hampton slumbered in a soft, golden light as sunset fell, old cobblestones sketched with shadows. **Sonia** stood in the front yard of her small house with its ivy bed. She worriedly twisted the hem of her dress in her fingertips as her heart thumped in her chest at the uninvited visitor before her: **Dylan**.She'd always been that way, with the shaggy hair, warm brown eyes, and that easy smile that seemed to make the world feel lighter. He was, secretly, everything she kind of admired. Today, however, there had been no smile. Instead, his eyes were all tangled up in worry and disappointment, twisting something inside her."You told Hannah about the human world, didn't you?" Dylan's voice was low, but there was a note of reproach that cut deeper than she had expected.Sonia's shoulders slumped, and she swallowed hard, a guilty feeling creeping over her. She'd thought that surely no one would hear, that she could keep this slip of the tongue to herself. But here stood

Storm clouds hung over Hampton, heavy and thick with an ominous darkness, as if nature herself had paused for breath at what was to come. The night approaching had a heavy smell of wetness; Alpha Alph stood before the entrance of his stronghold with hands clenched at his sides. His look, normally unremitting, was marred with worry as tension strangled the air.Beside him, **Maxine** was as disturbed. She stood tall, but a trembling in her hands belied the fear that she was fighting to keep at bay. Her eyes, golden like the rising sun, were fixed on the horizon, where the moon began to rise. The light that filtered through the clouds had a reddish tint-an ominous sign of the coming Eclipse.They're not back yet," she said, breaking the silence. Her voice was tight and raw with worry. "Hadzen and Hannah… they're still out there and the Eclipse is coming. If we can't bring them back in time…With a sharp exhalation, Alpha Alph's jaw worked: he was fighting to keep his own voices back. "T

### Chapter 59: Fragments of the PastThe darkness of night was making the forest grow darker, shadows stretching long and thin across the mossy ground. Hannah breathed softly. The mist of her breath was visible in the cold air. Every rustle of the leaves or crack of the twig went through Hannah like a shiver of anticipation. Her senses felt heightened, her nerves raw, as though the very forest was holding its breath.They had walked for what felt like hours, the silence between them heavy but not uncomfortable. Hannah's thoughts churned- replaying it all: The argument, the kiss she'd witnessed, and just how Hadzen had reached out and pulled her away from it all. His grip still gentle, even now, though he'd released her once they were far enough to have perhaps avoided the whole debacle.Hannah swallowed, staring at the back of Hadzen's head. His jaw was clenched, and his eyes were focused forward, but his brows creased across his face in concern. It was as if he could feel the tempes

The faint light in the luxurious mansion thrown by Amara made long shadows on the walls, and the room spun a little as she entered the **sala** stumbling under the grip of half an empty bottle of the expensive whiskey. The earlier argument with Ralph was still echoing in her mind. The sorrow and frustration of hurt played in her mind as a broken record that would not let her sleep. She had made him go home, needing to be left alone, needing to douse herself in the numbing abuace of alcohol.Amara crashed onto the plush velvet couch, her designer dress rumpled and makeup slightly smudged. She forced a laugh, took another swig, this time savoring the burn as it chased the ache in her chest away. "Screw it," she muttered under her breath, then fell back on the couch and closed her eyes.The muffled footfalls made her crack an eye open. It took a moment in her haze to process what she was seeing. **Hannah** and **Hadzen** were moving almost silently towards the front door, their movements
