***Henry****

“It’s you,” Xavier whispered, his voice barely audible over the sound of the pouring rain outside as his lips connected with mine in a soft, gentle kiss. For a moment, my mind went numb with shock and disbelief. The feeling of his touch sent shivers down my spine, making me forget about everything else at that moment. His smell fills my nostrils, making my wolf howl in approval, recognizing its mate.

But the human in me knew this was wrong and dangerous. I pushed Xavier on his back, breaking the kiss abruptly, and took a step back, trying to regain my composure. “What are you doing? This... this doesn’t seem right,” I stammered, my heart racing with conflicting emotions. “We can’t do this.”

Xavier rubbed his chin, a smile playing on his lips, his eyes dark with desire. “I know it’s wrong, but I can’t fight this pull between us,” he whispered, stepping closer. “I need you.”

Xavier’s words made my mind race with desire and confusion. Despite knowing the consequences, I couldn’t deny the intense attraction between us. But still, I shook my head. Xavier hates me, and I knew that pursuing anything further would only lead to heartbreak and complications.

“You are my brother,” I finally confessed, my voice barely above a whisper. “We can’t do this.”

Xavier stands up from where he is sitting, his height towering over me as he reaches out to gently cup my face. “I don’t care,” he murmurs, his gaze unwavering. “I can’t resist you.” My heart pounds in my chest as I struggle to maintain my resolve, torn between what I know is right and the overwhelming desire that threatens to consume us both.

“We are not related by blood, anyway.” Xavier’s voice is filled with longing and desperation, his words causing a tumult of conflicting emotions within me. I take a step back, trying to distance myself from the intensity of the moment, but his touch lingers on my skin, leaving me feeling both exhilarated and terrified at the same time.

“NO. Even if we are mates and even if my wolf is howling for you, I cannot allow myself to fall for you.” I said, my voice barely above a whisper as I struggled to maintain my resolve. “Even if you weren’t my brother, I would have never taken you as my mate,” I continue, my heart aching with the weight of my decision. “I hate you; I hate every single thing about you,” I added, my words filled with pain and anger.

As the pain and suffering that I have endured for so long finally came to the surface, I knew that this was the only way to protect myself. Yes, I love my love. Yes, I love my brother, but I hate him with every fiber of my being, for every time he has endured my pain and suffering. Where was he when I was crying myself to sleep every night? Where was he when I needed someone to lean on? He is the Alpha of the pack still, but he has failed in his duty to protect and care for me.

“You hate me...” Xavier’s voice quivered as he spoke, his eyes filled with hurt and confusion.

I nodded my head as the internal turmoil continued to rage within me, torn between the love I once felt for my brother and the betrayal I now harbored toward him.

Xavier grabs my cheeks in between his palms, squeezing them tightly. “I did so much for you; I protected you from everything, and this is how you repay me?” He whispered, his voice breaking. I could see the pain in his eyes, but the wounds he had inflicted were too deep for forgiveness.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I struggled to find the words to respond, knowing that our relationship would never be the same again. With a heavy heart, I finally whispered, “I’m sorry, Xavier. But we can never be mates or brothers again.” Xavier’s expression hardened, his grip on my cheeks tightening even more before he released me with a sigh. “I don’t care if you hate me or not, but the truth is that you are my mate, and nothing can change the bond we share,” he said firmly.

********

“This is not true,” Henry shouted, staring at me with a mixture of shock and disbelief. “I don’t want you to be my mate.”

I pulled his shirt closer, feeling the undeniable pull of the mate bond between us. “Do you think I want you as my mate, Henry? Believe me, this is as unexpected for me as it is for you.” Henry’s eyes widened as he tried to free himself from my grasp, but the mate bond was too strong.

“We have no choice in this matter,” I said firmly, knowing that our fates were now intertwined, whether we liked it or not.

“NO…!” Henry shouted, his voice filled with anger and frustration. “I don’t want you as my mate. Never.!”

“What will you do now, Henry?” I asked calmly, knowing that fighting against the mate bond would only bring us more pain in the end.

“I Henry Clane, the omega of Dark Moon Pack, reject you, Xavier De La Vega, as my mate!” Henry declared, his tone defiant.

A smirk played on my lips as I responded, “You think you have a choice in this matter, even if I don’t want you as my mate, either?” I pulled him closer, our eyes locked in a battle of wills. “Your rejection made me want to not let you go even more. You’re mine, whether you like it or not.”

Henry struggled against my grip, but I could see the fear in his eyes. Deep down, he knew he couldn’t escape the mate bond that connected us. “I will never reject you, but don’t ever think that I will accept you either,” I whispered, feeling a mix of defiance and desire. “You are bound with me forever; I will not mate, but also not allow you to mate with anyone else. You are mine, and that is not a choice you get to make.” My words hung heavy in the air, a declaration of possession and control that left no room for negotiation.

I hate this new dynamic between us, but seeing the pain and struggle in his eyes to get freed from the mate bond only fueled my desire to keep him bound to me. The power I held over him was intoxicating, and I knew that no matter how much he resisted, he would always be mine.

Cody and I exchanged a look of silent understanding before slowly backing away, knowing that our chances of survival had just become even slimmer.“Rogues...” I mumbled under my breath, recognizing the dangerous predator in front of us. Cody’s grip on my arm tightened as we continued to retreat, hoping to escape without triggering an attack.“We don’t know how many they are or where they might be hiding,” Cody whispered, his voice barely audible over the rustling of leaves. “Let’s stick together and stay alert,” I replied, my heart pounding with fear as we navigated through the moonlit forest.I nodded my head. No matter how much Cody bullied me or hurt me, I knew that he was a warrior, and trusting him right now was best for our survival. Letting go of my fear and placing my trust in Cody’s instincts, we pressed on, determined to make it out of the forest safely.“S

    ****Henry****I shook my head, not understanding how he could have come to such a conclusion. His accusations were baseless, but the look in his eyes made me realize that convincing him otherwise would be nearly impossible. But why does Cody think of me this way? What could I have possibly done to make him believe such things about me?“Now shut up and stay here,” he growled, his grip on my arm tightening even more. “While I go,” he trailed off, leaving me with a sinking feeling in my stomach.

The wolf hesitated, its playful demeanor disappearing as it locked eyes with me, unsure of what to do next. My heart raced as I braced myself for whatever might come next.“What are you doing, fool?” Cody shouted, trying to pull me away from Rogue Wolf, but before he could do so, the wolf launched itself on me and sank its teeth into my shoulder.

Opening my eyes, a group of wolves stood protectively in front of me, their fierce eyes daring anyone to come closer.Xavier, the alpha male, stepped forward and nudged me gently with his nose, as if to say, “You’re safe now.” And see the pack of wolves as if my body went limp, as if the strength that had carried me through the fear suddenly dissipated.

Power lingers beneath my skin, volatile and grief-soaked, pulsing with every heartbeat that shouldn't exist without him.Around me, the sky groans—a wounded beast mourning its fallen.

    Xavier***The battlefield was a graveyard of shattered hope, where the screams of the fallen still echoed in the hollow silence, clinging to the ashes like ghosts that refused to leave.

His frame towered—regal, magnificent, but grotesquely wrong, like a statue of a hero twisted by pain.Power clung to him—not his own, but an ancient poison, corrupted and stolen from the Blade. It pulsed through him like a second heartbeat—merciless and cold.His eyes were wrong.No longer

The way he once whispered, "Promise me you’ll always come back," his breath trembling against my ear.Then it was gone—ripped away, drowned beneath the bloodlust and fire, as the killer I had become opened his eyes for the first time.Power. Endless, unyielding, pure.The moment the blade accepted me, it didn't just burn—I combusted. Power surged through my veins like volcanic fire, ripping my body apart only to reforge it in shadow and flame. My bones snapped and reformed. My skin cracked like porcelain before sealing again, tougher, darker. I screamed, or maybe the world did.When I stood, it was with a predator's stillness and a god's fury.I was not Henry anymore. I was the Blade incarnate.And I wanted blood.The sky shattered above me. Shadows fled before the storm I had become.Bound wolves leapt.I to

    Henry***The battlefield had fallen silent—not from peace, but from anticipation. The air hung heavy with ash and tension, as though the world itself held its breath. All eyes had turned to Cael. All ears strained to hear what none of us wanted to believe.“To awaken the blade,” he said again, his voice quiet and unshaking, “a life must be given.”A sacrifice.The weight of those words echoed louder than any scream, more final than any death.“No,” Xavier whispered beside me, his grip on my wrist tightening. “No, we’ll find another way.”Cael didn’t answer him. He looked only at me.Because he knew.Because I knew.I stepped forward slowly, as if wading through grief itself. My heart thundered with dread, but somewhere deep inside, I already understood. From the moment the Veil tore. From the moment Dean became something else. From the first howl of the Firstborn. This was never going to end with a battle. It would end with a choice.My choice.Xavier stepped in front of me, his eyes

Smoke coiled in black spirals, choking out the stars, and in the glow of that apocalyptic dawn, the world trembled. Buildings burned like paper. Trees split open, screaming with sap and flame. It was as if the sky itself had turned traitor—spilling fury upon a land already drowning in sorrow.Ash rained from the heavens as screams tore through the night—raw, primal, unrelenting. The ground cracked with each tremor of advancing doom, and the air itself seemed to shriek with terror. Human and wolf alike fell, their bodies twisted in agony as cities crumbled into infernos. Roads split open, swallowing vehicles and warriors whole. The Veil had been ripped open, a gaping, bleeding scar across reality, and through its ancient wound, the Firstborn surged like a plague of nightmares—fangs bared, eyes soulless, their very presence unraveling the laws of nature. They were not just killi

I could feel it—deep in my bones—that something ancient had been awakened, something far beyond even Cael.I turned to Henry, still clutching his hand.“We need to move,” I said, though my voice was hoarse and dry. Like I’d swallowed centuries of dust and dread.Henry’s gaze stayed fixed on the place where Dean had stood, now swallowed by shadow.“They’re not waiting.
