[Carys]“Apologies,” Kian whispered, his tone stoic. His voice was tenderly cold yet deep, like a drifting melody on a silent, snowy night.I blinked, lost in his intense gaze for longer than I should have.“Lady Carys, are you ok? We are extremely sorry, we didn’t see you coming,” Jackson’s voice brought me back from the trance. A trance dominated by flickering memories of the past that still washed afresh on my skin like a downpour in a desert.His touch burnt through my clothes as he slid his hand from my arm to my elbow. I would have fallen if he hadn’t held me at the right time. I would have preferred falling than being saved by him.Don’t you fucking touch me! Don’t you dare save me again! — The words screamed in my mind, yet I clenched my jaw, swallowing them down.I wrenched out my arm from his grip and stepped away from him, breathing heavily.My heart thundered in my chest, loud enough to fill the awkward silence that hung between us.“I apologize for my carelessness, Alpha
[Kian Nyx Abner] “It was an honor to have you at our wedding, Alpha King,” Joshua said. I arrived when the Alpha king was leaving. “The honor was mine, Alpha Joshua. Both of you make a beautiful couple,” King Elysar said, giving his blessings for a happy marriage. They shook hands, facing the sea of flashlights and cameras from the media. “It would have been so good if you stayed for the reception,” Edith said with an innocent smile. King Elysar smiled. “I know. I would love to stay, but people like us rarely have the luxury of staying away from their work for long. I must return now. I had a great time today. It had been a while since I saw such a beautiful wedding. I hope my gifts match the grandeur of this adorable pack. And I genuinely pray that both species can finally bond together for a better future. Thank you for making this dream possible tonight.” Some reporters were busy making King’s video, some were clicking his pictures, and some were noting down his every word. T
[Kian]The reception began late at night. It was organized in the private forest owned by the Nightfall family. Although it was a forest area, the arrangements for the party were made in the open meadow.A pergola, adorned with the lush growth and colorful night blooms of the climbing plants, served as the entrance from the palace to the reception spot.They arranged special lapis lazuli and marble chairs and tables in the open for the guests, complementing the party’s theme: blue.“Alpha!” This was the fourth time Jackson had called out to me. I wasn’t ignoring him. I just didn’t want to answer. “Our men have secured the data you wanted…”“I know,” I replied.“Well… then, should I prepare for the return?”My gaze remained fixed on the entrance, on everyone who entered through it—everyone except her.I wanted to stay… a little longer.“Hey, Kian! Have you seen Christian?” Levi rushed to me, panting.The world, as always, was moving faster with every second while I… I remained trapped
[Carys] As expected, Edith was getting desperate to pull me down, show how inferior I was to the world by playing the goddess by pretending to defend me in public. Working on her impulse, she made a mistake which I knew she would make, given how insecure she was of me. Unfortunately, she might not be aware of the consequences of her actions. AAC controls the politics and maintaining confidentiality in politics is of most importance. A leak of even a minute detail can lead from a coup to a war. Dominic tried to cover up for her sister’s slip of tongue, but it was already too late. Edith, the Luna of the Autumn pack, had just confirmed all the leaked information on my case. The media wouldn’t stop until they had answers or until they created some answers themselves. The security came in between us and the media as they reached out their mics towards us. Media stormed Joshua, Edith, Dominic and me with the questions and now it was my turn to use this situation to my advantage. “Lun
[Kian]Memories often have a malignant tendency to hurt, but her memories never hurt. No matter how painful it was to realize that I could probably never relive them with her again. Nor create new ones.Yet a few days, a few moments in her mere presence, were enough to flood me with priceless memories that I wanted to relive again and again.A small touch, a whiff of her scent, the fleeting moments when our eyes met. A few words we exchanged, no matter how hollow and superficial. And everything that remained unsaid in our silence. They were all precious to me.I peered outside the window of my car as we headed to the private jet hangar. I left the Autumn palace right after Carys walked out of the party.‘As of tonight, I declare my rogue status…’I felt someday or the other, she would choose this path — the path of a lone wolf.‘It’s better to be a lone wolf walking on the right path than walking with a pack without a sense of direction or destiny. It’s dark, it’s lonely, it’s scary.
[Kian]A few minutes later, I heard the engines of two other snowmobiles roar in the distance.“Where are you going, Kian?” Levi’s cry echoed through the howling winds.“In case the storm has impaired your vision and frozen your brain, let me inform you. Mr. In charge… you are heading right into the storm!” Christian’s yell drove right through the helmet of my snowmobile gear.Levi and Christian caught up to me, piercing through the snow mist.‘Why did you follow me when you didn’t know where I was heading?’ I spoke to them through mind-link.‘Oh, right! Mind-link! Could have used it before,’ Levi’s voice rang in my head.‘All that yelling was for nothing thanks to the genius of our group, whose genius genes are not gene-ing anymore.’ Christian taunted.‘Hey, Kian! Seriously! What are you thinking? You know the Vizsnow’s terrains better than any of us. They turn into killers in storms like these—’ Christian interrupted Levi.‘Don’t forget the avalanches!’‘Yeah. The avalanches. So why
[Kian] (Present) I peered at my jet that awaited to take me back to the Winter pack. Once again, my heart was restless, just as it was when Carys was stuck in the snowstorm. Once again, there was a voice in my heart that wasn’t mine, but it was calling out to me. A call for help that was tearing me into two — a part wanted to surrender myself to fate and the other was resisting it with all its might. And I knew this feeling wouldn’t go away, not until she was safe again. But Carys isn’t stuck in a snowstorm today. Even if she was, I would be the last person she would want to rescue her. For all I know, I am no longer in your heart and you wouldn’t want me in your life, either. I still remember what you told me right before I rejected you. I have lost you, Carys. Forever. You will never be mine again, and I know I’ll never be forgiven. After all, you always keep your words. Yet your whispers have always found their way in dreams, and your smile in my eyes has brightened my nig
[Kian] I picked up Carys’ white suit from the floor, stained with blood. The restlessness in my chest became more intense. I sniffed the fresh blood on her suit and let out a subtle sigh. It wasn’t her blood. But that was more than enough to spike my anxiety. “Clear signs of struggle, alpha. The foyer’s a disaster,” Jackson said, looking at the shattered windows and crashed furniture. “Look around,” he ordered our men, who spread around and within the mansion. The lights in the foyer flickered feebly, and apart from the sounds of insects from the lawn, there was no other noise to disrupt the daunting silence that enveloped the mansion. “What happened here? Where did all of them go?” Jackson looked around for clues. “Beta Jackson! We’ve found someone hiding in the thickets of the lawn. She’s injured…” Jackson glanced at me and both of us dashed onto the lawn. Verity was lying on the grass as though she had been electrocuted. Her eyes were wide open and her body paralyzed. “I

[Carys]“At the conclusion of this meeting, this is my final verdict in compliance with the vote of other alphas — the Autumn pack will not be dissolved. As proposed by the Gamma Mic of Autumn pack, the Autumn pack will be run under emergency conditions with the gamma assuming the beta’s position and upholding the pack. The rank of the alpha of the Autumn pack will remain empty until Alpha Joshua’s child is born. AAC will assist the Autumn pack at every stage of recovery.” I didn’t attend the meeting, but turns out Verity had other ways to have a peek into everything that happened in the conference hall. “Edith Percy Nightfall’s punishment will be postponed until and after the heir of the Autumn pack reaches the age of five. She will be convicted like everyone else who was responsible for the Blank Space incident. Until then, she’ll remain under AAC’s surveillance.” I let out a sigh. “As per Alpha Dominic’s request, the Spring pack will monitor and take care of Edith Percy Nightfal
[Carys]Hoot!Snow White perched herself on Kian’s chest.“Kian’s soul has sustained severe injuries, Carys,” Moratia said. “It will take years for him to recover. The Bond that remains in his soul will help in his recovery. Keep Snow White close to him. She’ll help feed him the spiritual energy he needs through this mist. We are taking Mizkeal’s soul with us.”She looked at Death. Death turned his face towards Moratia and gave a slight nod.I lifted my gaze and looked at Moratia. The Ravens and crows that ripped Mizkeal’s soul away from Kian had long disappeared into the dark portal with his soul. The portal revolved behind Death’s divine yet haunting figure. His face was covered with a skull mask.He turned towards the portal and stretched out his hand towards Moratia. She glanced at me and smiled.“Thank you for everything, Carys,” she said before she turned around and looked into his eyes before placing her hand in his. They walked into the dark portal. Once their figures were e
[Carys]Moratia slowly looked around to see Alpha King and Liam standing near the borders with their army. After all the destruction Mizkeal caused, it was only logical for him to take things in his hand.Levi stood beside them, staring at us. I could tell by the look on his face that he tried his best to hold Alpha King back, but couldn’t. The same look was on Verity’s face.Verity tried to run towards us when Alpha King ordered one of his soldiers to take her away from the battlefield.Nox stood with the other members of the SW, looking frantically around the battlefield. He was clearly looking for Morana.Morana and Christian had fallen into the mist together, but I hadn’t seen them after that. I could only hope that they were ok.Dominic and Ash walked through the crowd of soldiers to the front-lines, taking in the situation.Of course, all of them felt the horror of Mizkeal’s wrath.“Brother!” My eyelids fluttered towards Aamna as she tried to cross the borders and come to our si
[Carys]I could feel everything Moratia felt.All the centuries of life, love and death flashed in her soul.Her soul was elated to see Mizkeal again, and the way he recognized her again filled her with hope, but it didn’t take long to shatter. Somewhere in him, she yearned to find the man she fell in love with. The prince who taught her how to live.But neither was Mizkeal the same, nor was his love for her. The pure love that a fae price once had for her had turned into a madness of a fae lord. He loved her, yes. But in a constant fear of losing her and that kind of love leads to desperation. And that desperation had blinded Mizkeal.I could actually understand the reason behind his desperation because I was desperate, too. I was desperate to save Kian, bring him back, and I was ready to do anything that could make that possible.Marrying him or not marrying him would depend on Moratia. And I knew whatever she chose would affect me significantly, so I had to brace myself for whateve
[Mizkeal]I didn’t care what happened inside me. I used every ounce of my soul for this last attack.The world could end at its own accord, but…I shifted my glare at Carys.To end her was my right.Peering at me, she got to her feet. Holding my gaze, she stood calmly amidst the exploding ground around her. She licked her lips before taking a deep breath.She smiled gently and shut her eyes, allowing the tears welled in her eyes to trail down her beautiful face.I landed on the ground. Dust and debris of the ground blasted all around us as I strutted towards her.I grabbed her wrist and yanked her closer, barely holding back my rage.The chimes of her crown jingled louder than the exploding earth, sending goosebumps all over my body.“Open your eyes…” I commanded in a slightly shivering tone.I grabbed her upper arms tighter.“Open your eyes!” I snarled at her.She shook her head, her lips trembling as she took in a shuddering breath through her tears.“Carys!”“You know my name, my p
[Mizkeal]Christian held back his groan, gritting his teeth as he glared at me with bloodshot eyes.“Why is everyone so stubborn here?” I sighed. “Well, pain is a choice, and you chose not to show it. I respect that.”“Shove that respect up your ancient ass and get out of my best friend’s body,” he growled, glaring right into my eyes.I chuckled wryly. “You have a strange sense of humor. How does it feel to be in that head of yours, to have a tongue sharper than your claws? There is no real damage you can do to me.”Christian laughed obnoxiously. “That’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard.”“Oh! Have you ever heard yourself?” I taunted back.Morana let out a titter with a smirk spread across her lips.I shifted my gaze to Morana, whose calculative eyes analyzed me.She was the one important to me, but I was still not sure if I could absorb my heart and Bond without damaging them both in the process.I couldn’t risk absorbing Bond while she had my heart because then… it could damage
[Mizkeal]As I soared towards the sky, a wave of raging adrenaline pumped through my veins, pounding in my ears.Carys Elffire was playing a dangerous game.She split the Bond in two parts! How the hell did she split it apart?But what I failed to understand was how she got a hold on Bond so quickly. A day ago, she couldn’t even keep its power in control and now she had split it in two?But what I wanted to know was how far she had decoded Bond and its abilities.Bond was far more powerful than before. New elements were added into Bond and I hadn’t had enough time to decipher all of them, either. So, it was important for me to know how much she had deciphered it or altered it.With a swift blow of my mana, I created a squall that tore the mist apart for a few seconds. It gave me enough time to escape.The mist swirled around me, playing with my head, bringing out the memories that were impossible for me to resist or ignore. Despite my efforts, echoes of Moratia’s voice haunted me, blu
[Carys]Parting from Mizkeal, I held his hands in mine.His calculative silver eyes narrowed on our hands before he looked into my eyes, as though he could see my soul.“I know what you are thinking. But I am not here for you,” I said, holding his gaze. “I’m here for Kian because I cannot lose him.”He smirked faintly, his eyes calling me out for being delusional.“If Kian lives on in you, as you… then I agree to that fate,” I said, looking into his eyes. “If his soul is merged in yours, then I’ll love his torn soul through you. If you go beyond that border, Alpha King will do everything in his power to stop you. He will kill my Kian and… I can’t let that happen. So, I’ve stopped them. I lied to them. I told them I can… stop you. But I know I can’t.”Mizkeal narrowed his eyes.“You’ve been madly in love, Mizkeal, with a woman. So, I know you understand my desperation, and this might be the stupidest decision I make for this world, but keeping you safe is the only way I can ensure Kian
