Chapter 321: Victory or Defeat

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-28 19:21:14

Astrid’s POV

As we neared the dungeon, the cold air wrapped around me like a warning, and my steps faltered.

The weight of what I was about to do settled heavily in my chest, making it hard to breathe.

I was nervous — no, I was scared. Giselle was down there, the woman who had torn our lives apart, and I had to face her alone.

Lost in my thoughts, I suddenly felt warm air fanning the side of my face. I blinked and turned, only to find Killian standing so close, his face inches from mine.

His breath was warm on my skin, and for a moment, the world narrowed down to just the two of us.

My heart skipped a beat. The closeness, the way he was looking at me—it made me forget, just for a second, about the darkness waiting ahead.

“Astrid,” he whispered, his voice soft and full of concern. “Are you sure about this?”

His eyes searched mine, his brow furrowed with worry, and for a brief moment, I wanted to say no.

I wanted to lean into him, let him shield me from everything. He always had a

    Astrid’s POVI tried to keep my face steady, but her words struck a chord deep inside me. She did know something.Something about the changes I had felt, the darkness I had sensed lurking within me. The poison. It had been her weapon, and now, I realized it was more than just a means to kill me. She knows something else, something even I hadn’t understood.“You’re lying,” I hissed, my voice shaking with anger, but also with doubt.Her grin widened. “Oh, am I? Why do you think the poison didn’t kill you? It wasn’t meant to. It was meant to awaken something… darker. Something you won’t be able to control. You’re a monster, Astrid, and soon enough, everyone you love will see it too.”I shook my head, refusing to believe her. She was trying to manipulate me, to twist my mind just as she always had. “Shut up,” I whispered, but my voice wavered.“You feel it, don’t you?” she pressed, her eyes gleaming with cruel satisfaction. “The power inside you, the anger. It’s only a matter of time be

    Astrid’s POVI tried to focus on the world around me, to drown out her voice with the rhythm of my footsteps, anything to make my mind occupied with something else. But it was no use. My mind kept circling back to the same thing.The book.I hated myself for even considering it, but I couldn’t deny that I was curious. Giselle had said it would explain everything — what kind of monster I was, what I was becoming. And as much as I tried to convince myself that it was all lies, I couldn’t help but wonder if the book held the answers I was so desperately seeking. Maybe it was the key to understanding the darkness that had started to consume me. Maybe it would give me the answers I feared most.But did I even want those answers? Did I want to confront the truth, or would it be easier to turn away and pretend that Giselle was just playing with my mind? I had spent so much time running — from my feelings, from my past, from the wolf inside me — that the thought of facing it all was terri

    Astrid’s POVI stared at the book in my hands, my fingers trembling as I continued to flip through the pages. I had always known Giselle was manipulative, a liar through and through, but this time… she had been telling the truth. The truth was here, written in the ancient pages of this book, and no matter how much I wanted to deny it, I couldn’t. My heart raced, each beat thudding heavily in my chest. This book wasn’t just about some random creature. It was about me.The next passage stopped me cold.“Relationships between Alphas and Omegas are forbidden. Such unions are immoral, unnatural, and evil. They go against the natural order of the wolf hierarchy. The offspring of such unions are cursed, born with an inherent darkness that cannot be tamed. They are known as Almegas.”My blood turned to ice. Immoral. Unnatural. Cursed. The words echoed in my mind, each one cutting deeper than the last. My parents… they had been forbidden from loving each other. Their union had never been

    Astrid’s POVI stepped outside, the cold air biting at my skin as I tried to clear my head. The sky was a dull grey, and the world around me seemed muted, like everything had been drained of color. Giselle’s execution had already taken place by the time I arrived. Her body had been taken away, and there was no trace of her left—no lingering presence, no echo of her voice. She was gone. And yet, the weight of her words, the darkness she had awakened inside me, still clung to my soul.I should have felt relief. I should have felt free. But I didn’t.I saw Killian across the courtyard, his face lighting up with a smile the moment he saw me. He ran toward me, his expression filled with joy, completely unaware of the storm that raged inside me. I wanted to return his smile, to let his warmth melt away the cold fear gripping my chest, but I couldn’t. I felt… detached. Distant. As if there was a wall between us that hadn’t been there before.“Astrid!” he called, reaching out for me. Hi

    Astrid’s POV“I’m so sorry,” I whispered, my voice breaking as tears streamed down my face. “I’m so, so sorry. I never wanted this. I never wanted to hurt you.”Nova’s eyes widened in shock. She had expected anger, maybe even disappointment, but not this. Not tears. Not this kind of raw emotion. She quickly reached out, grabbing my hands, her own eyes shining with unshed tears. “No, Astrid, don’t do this,” she said urgently, her voice shaking. “None of this is your fault. Don’t blame yourself.”“But it is my fault!” I sobbed, unable to stop the flood of guilt that consumed me. “You’ve been hurting because of me. Drystan rejected you because of me. You ran away for three years because of me. I caused all of this—”“No!” Nova interrupted, her voice firm, though her hands trembled as they held mine tightly. “None of this is your fault, Astrid. You didn’t cause any of this. You didn’t know, and even if you did, it doesn’t change anything. Drystan and I… we had our own journey. Please

    Astrid’s POVI sat on the bench, my face buried in my hands, my body trembling as sobs wracked through me. Tears streamed down my cheeks, soaking my palms as I cried harder than I had in years. Everything I had been holding inside — the fear, the uncertainty, the hopelessness — it all poured out of me in that moment. I had just finished telling Nova everything, and now that the words were out in the open, the weight of it was unbearable.Nova sat beside me, her hand gently patting my back, offering silent comfort. She hadn’t said much after I told her about the Almega, the book, and the curse that loomed over me, but her presence was enough. Just knowing she was here, that I wasn’t alone in this, helped steady me, even if just a little.I wiped my eyes, trying to calm the sobs that wouldn’t stop coming. “I don’t know what to do,” I whispered between shaky breaths. “I’m so scared, Nova.

    Astrid’s POVNova and I walked back into the lounge, where Killian and Drystan were seated, deep in conversation. Drystan was casually sipping tea while Killian held a steaming cup of coffee in his hands. They looked so relaxed, like two old friends catching up on lost time. But as soon as they saw us enter, both of their gazes shifted.Drystan was the first to react. He stood up immediately, his eyes flickering to Nova before he smiled and excused himself. “Come on, Nova. Let’s give them some space.”I didn’t say anything, but I couldn’t help but stare at Drystan as he moved to leave. There was something I wanted to say to him — something I felt I needed to talk to him about — but when he noticed my gaze, he simply gave me a gentle, knowing smile before turning away. His arm slipped around Nova’s waist as they disappeared through the door, leaving me alone with Killian.A quiet stillness filled the room as I turned back to him.

This was it.But before the energy could consume me, a sudden, powerful force slammed into my side, sending me sprawling to the ground.I gasped, my eyes flying open in shock.

For a fleeting moment, there was no coldness in her gaze, no calculation—only peace.“Rowena, no!” I screamed, scrambling to my feet.She closed her eyes, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips, and said nothing.The energy erupted from the amulet, a searing light that forced me to shield my face.“No!” the Rogue King’s voice boomed, his fury cutting through the chaos.The light intensified, consuming e

The energy emanating from it was suffocating, filling the air with an oppressive pressure that made it hard to breathe.I reached the altar, my wolf surging forward as I clawed at the ancient runes alongside Nova. Each strike against the stone sent sparks of light into the air, but the runes resisted, glowing brighter and stronger as if mocking our efforts.“It’s not working!” Nova shouted, her voice cracking with frustration.“Keep trying!” I yelled back, refusing to give in. But even as I struck the runes again and again, I felt the futility in my movements.Behind us, Killian and the Rogue King clashed in a violent storm of teeth and claws, their snarls echoing through the clearing. Killian’s golden wolf fought with unrelenting power, but the Rogue King’s speed and cunning gave him an edge, keeping the battle

    Drystan’s POVThe forest was eerily quiet, a suffocating silence that wrapped itself around us as we regrouped near the Rogue King’s camp. My wolf stirred restlessly within me, sensing the tension that rippled through our ranks. The remnants of the earlier attack were still fresh—blood staining the ground, the air thick with the scent of burnt wood and iron. Yet, there was no time to grieve or falter. The rogues were waiting.Nova stood beside me, her eyes scanning the horizon. Despite the exhaustion etched into her face, she radiated a quiet determination. I knew she was thinking about Liora—about the lies and betrayal that had stolen her sister’s life. And now, with Rowena’s guilt looming over us, the questions weighed heavier than ever.Killian and Astrid approached, their expressions tense. Killian’s golden eyes were shadowed, a flicker of something unreadable passing through them.“We need to strike before the ritual is completed,” Killian said, his voice cutting through the

    Drystan’s POVThe battlefield was a cacophony of snarls, howls, and the clash of steel. Blood mingled with the damp earth beneath my feet, and the air carried the metallic tang of death. My wolf surged within me, urging me forward, but I held steady. We were pushing the rogues back, but something about their movements didn’t sit right with me.“They’re retreating too easily,” I growled through the link to Nova, who was fighting nearby. Her lithe wolf danced around a rogue before sinking her teeth into its neck with precision.“I noticed,” she replied, her tone sharp, even in the heat of battle. “This isn’t a retreat. It’s a distraction.”I snarled, driving my blade into the side of a rogue that lunged at me. It crumpled to the ground, lifeless, as my gaze swept over the battlefield. The rogues were falling back, but their movements were too coordinated, too deliberate.“Hold the line!” I barked to my warriors. “Don’t chase them. They want us to follow.”Killian’s voice cut through t

The tension in the air was suffocating, pressing down on all of us like an invisible weight. The final confrontation was drawing near, and every wolf here knew it.Astrid approached, her steps light but purposeful, her face shadowed with exhaustion. “Drystan and Nova haven’t sent word yet,” she said softly, her eyes searching mine.“They will,” I replied, forcing certainty into my voice. “They know what’s at stake.”But deep down, doubt gnawed at me. The alliances we had built, the fragile unity between the Packs—it all felt like it was hanging by a thread, ready to snap at the slightest provocation.Astrid’s gaze shifted to Andros, who stood near the edge of the camp, guarded by two warriors. He leaned casually against a tree, his sharp eyes scanning the camp with calculated precision.“I still don’t trust him,” Astrid muttered, her voic

Weapons were sharpened, armor repaired, and scouts came and went with grim updates on the Rogue King’s movements.I stood near the center, watching the warriors train in the clearing. Their strikes were fast, their stances solid, but the tension in the air was unmistakable. Everyone knew what was coming, and the weight of it was crushing.Astrid approached, her expression as resolute as ever, though her eyes betrayed a flicker of exhaustion. “Drystan and Nova haven’t sent word yet,” she said quietly.“They will,” I replied, my voice firm. “They know what’s at stake.”Astrid’s gaze flicked toward the edge of the camp, where Andros was being guarded by two warriors. He sat on a fallen log, his posture relaxed but his eyes sharp, scanning the camp as if calculating his next move.“I don’t trust him,” Astrid said, her voice low.“Neither do I,” I admitted. “But right now, he’s a nec

    Drystan’s POVThe council chamber at the Silvermoon camp was more crowded than usual, but the air was heavy with unease. After everything we had learned from Rowena and Andros, tensions ran higher than ever. Wolves from allied Packs whispered among themselves, their voices sharp with mistrust.Killian stood at the head of the chamber, his presence commanding as always, but even he couldn’t mask the strain on his face. Astrid sat to his right, her eyes dark with fatigue. Nova was beside me, her hand resting on her thigh, her tension palpable.Andros and Rowena sat on the far side of the room, their backs straight despite the weight of every glare in the room directed at them. Andros leaned casually against the wall, but Rowena remained composed, her sharp eyes sweeping over the gathered wolves with quiet authority.“We’ve heard what they’ve told us,” one of the elders said, his voice echoing through the room. “But how can we trust anything that comes from the mouths of traitors?”M

Rowena sat apart from the others, her posture poised despite the shackles around her wrists. Her silver hair, neat and immaculate, caught the firelight, and her eyes—sharp, calculating—watched us with the kind of patience that only came with age and experience.Killian stood to her right, his fists clenched tightly at his sides. He hadn’t said much since we brought her back, but the tension in his shoulders spoke volumes. His mother, the woman who had caused so much pain, was now our reluctant informant.Drystan paced nearby, his claws flexing as he glared at Rowena. Nova sat stiffly beside me, her hand gripping her knee as if to keep her emotions in check.

My wolf was on edge, her instincts screaming that danger lurked just beyond the trees.Drystan led our group, his movements precise and calculated as he tracked Rowena’s faint scent. Nova kept pace beside him, her body still healing but her determination unyielding. I trailed close behind, my gaze darting between the shadows, each step weighted by the tension of what we might find.“She’s leading us somewhere,” Drystan muttered, his voice tight with frustration. “But whether it’s to the Rogue King or a trap, I can’t tell.”“She won’t outsmart us again,” Nova replied, her tone sharp with anger.I wished I shared her confidence, but something about this chase didn’t sit right. Rowena wasn’t careless, and she wasn’t predictable. Whatever she was planning, it wouldn’t be simple.The scent trail brought us to a clearing veiled in mist.
