Ava's pov

I gasped, clutching my chest as a new presence surged through me—something ancient, something powerful.

A voice, soft yet commanding, whispered through my mind.

“Finally, I'm fully aware now.”

My breath hitched at the sound of the familiar voice.

Aria.

A wave of memories flooded me, it was so sudden and overwhelming that I staggered backward. Xander was quick to catch me as concern flashed in his eyes

“Ava? What’s wrong?”

I couldn’t answer.

Because I was seeing everything.

Flashes of a past life.

A war. Bloodshed.

A woman—me, but not me—standing beside a man with stormy gray eyes.

Xander.

We had been here before just like the keeper said.

We had fought before.

And we had died before.

A choked sob escaped me as the memories slammed into me, one after another. I saw myself standing on a battlefield, flames licking at the sky, the air filled with ashes, screams of agony filling the air.

I saw Xander—no, not Xander, but the man he had been—fighting beside me.

I saw our deaths.

    Xander's povThe air around us became alive with a burning need. It was raw and strong, the undeniable Nate bond now stranger than ever. I could smell her arousal, it was driving me insane.Restraining myself had been hard all night and now, this was the final straw. She pulled away and looked at me, her icy blue eyes had streaks of electric blue dancing in them.Her wolf? I wondered.I didn't have time to think much about it as her fingers started roaming my body. I stiffened under her touch trying to control myself. I caught her hands, stopping them in their tracks as she tried to go underneath my shirt.“Ava,” I started, my voice was rough and strained as I fought to hold myself back. “Are you sure?”I didn't want her to regret what will happen if we go on.She nodded early, her breath coming out in pants as she burned with desire and need. “I want this, Xander. I want you.”A satisfied growl rumbled in my chest at her words. Before I could second guess I pulled her close and crash

    Ava's povI laid in bed staring at the ceiling as the bond finally settled but my mind raced with thoughts of how eventful the day had been.Leo and Aria had also completed the mate bond. It was weird being on all fours and mating like an animal. It would definitely take some getting used to. My bones and muscles ached, a reminder of the pain of shifting. Xander had said it would fade in a couple of days and soon, shifting will become effortless.I smiled remembering Xander and I cuddled up, laying on the grass naked as we stared at the night sky. We had done the verbal acceptance as well.My body felt new, my hearing, vision, strength and nose were heightened. Now I understood why Xander's chamber was secluded, to help keep the noise at bay.As for Aria, she had been silent since we shifted but I could still feel her at the back of my mind watching, waiting.We needed to talk, Xander has given me a couple of tips on how the bond between Aria and I worked. I closed my eyes and allowed

    Ava's pov“Anyway, Endymion kept dying and was reincarnated until he found you… then the war came. Now, you were strong enough to defeat the humans but then the fates did something that has never been done since the creation of the universe.”“What?”“They interfered with your destinies. At first, the gods didn't know but they later found out. Selene was crushed by the fact that you and Endymion died, you both had finally found each other and were meant to live long, happy lives with children as that would be the last reincarnation.” Aria paused.“But she was also suspicious, because with the essence of the gods, you were both demigods and mere werewolves shouldn't have been able to kill you. She confronted the fates and they admitted to causing your deaths.”“Why?”“Because of the awakening of Zerathos.” Aria's voice had taken a dark turn as she growled when she said his name.“Who's… Zerathos?” I asked.“The dark god that the keeper told you about.” Aria said, darkly. “I’d suggest y

    Ava's povI was speechless by the time she was done. This wasn't just a battle between the mortals and a small god, this was a god as strong as the older gods. A war going on since the beginning of time and it now rested on Xander and I to end it.It was a lot to take in.I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out. I remembered the lightning on my last self's fingertips. “What were those sparks on my fingertips?”Thankfully, Aria didn't push my sudden change in topic. “Your powers. Right now, they are awakening. I'm sure you saw in the first set of memories that there are books in the hidden chamber that will teach you as much as possible to harness them. I will also be here to help you every step of the way.”“Thank you.” I whispered.Before I could say anything her eyes began to glow and a thundering sound shattered the peacefulness of the clearing.“What's going on?” I asked, panicked. Scrambling to my feet.“Him.” Aria growled and turned to the woods.I saw a pair of glowing

    Xander's pov)We had done our best in avoiding the pack over the last few days. The hidden chamber was very helpful in teaching us about Ava's powers, I wanted to focus on hers before mine. I was already strong, shaped by years of hard training but Ava knew nothing.I stood in a private training ground in the far corner of the castle one morning watching as Ava struggled to summon her abilities.She has the power—I could feel it. But it was locked deep inside her, untapped. She mentioned lightning but I had a feeling that there was more."Focus," I said, standing behind her. "Breathe. Feel the energy in your blood. Feel it flowing through your veins, coursing all over your body. Channel it to your fingertips.”She exhaled in annoyance. "I don’t feel anything, Xander." She snapped."Yet. You will, soon."I stepped closer, wrapping my arms around her waist from behind and pulled her close.She stiffened. "What are you doing?""Relax," I murmured. “Stop overthinking it."I placed my hand

    Xander's povA group of rebels armed with the new weapons concerned Magnus and Draven never the barracks. Magnus was strong and holding his ground against them but Draven looked cornered with his back pressed against the wall of the castle.I rushed over to them, tearing any one who stepped in my path. I lunged at the rogue closest to Draven, the unexpected movement made the weapon fall out of his hand and clatter to the ground. I wasted no time in crushing it under my paw then tearing into his shoulder. The sickening sound of crunching bones was like music to my ears.Ava wasn't far behind as she ran past me and lunged at another rebel. He pulled out a dagger attempting to cut her but she dodged effortlessly, her jaw clamping around his wrist with a ferocious growl.More rebels poured into the courtyard, forcing us to fall back. They were more coordinated than before, their attacks synchronized as if being puppeteer by someone we couldn't see.They knew our defenses well and effortle

    Xander's povI know the keeper said not everyone could find the chamber but Magnus knowing was bad enough.The attack wasn't just about killing us, it was a diversion. Their goal was the chamber.I shifted to my human form in an instant."Magnus!" I roared, he spared me a quick glance, eyes wide before retreating with the rebel into the chaos.Ava grabbed my arm. "What is it?""They're after the chamber," I snarled. "We have to stop them!”We tried to chase but lost them.“Let's check the chamber.” Ava said, voice filled with urgency.“Wait.” I stopped her. “What if that's what they want? They could be lingering, waiting to see where exactly it's hidden and how to get in.”Ava was silent as she pondered my words. Suddenly, her eyes went blank then it returned to normal.“Aria said she knows what to do.” Ava said then her eyes became electric as Aria took over.She reached out her hands and lightning shot out forming a wall at the entrance of the hallway so no one would see or pass thr

    Xander's povGarrick held up a hand, silencing the audience. “That's not why we're here. We summoned you both for answers. During the battle with the rebels we all witnessed something… unnatural .” His eyes flickered to Ava briefly. “The human shifted into a wolf. How?”The murmurs were louder this time.Maris leaned forward, hands clasped in front of her and her expression suspicious. “And not only did she shift into a wolf, she shifted into a white one. That has never been seen or heard of in the entire history of Lycara— not even among the ancient bloodlines.”Thane suddenly slammed his fist on the table. “What sorcery is this? Is she a threat to us?”Leo snarled inside me but I claimed him, the last thing we needed was Leo going crazy and repeating the history with Vanessa and her friends. I stepped forward and addressed him, my voice cold and unwavering.“She is no threat,” I snapped. “If anything, she’s the reason we’re still standing. Without her, this castle would’ve fallen. S

    Xander's povI thought back to the sick wolves at the castle. We had found a solution for that, I didn't know if the rainville healers had arrived.Then my heart dropped. Poison.“They’re not just using weapons,” I whispered in sudden realization. “They’re poisoning us.”“We need to head back. Fast!” Rowan yelled, his mind instantly going to Lyra.We wasted no time in going back to ironclaw and grabbing our horses. The journey back to blackthorn was fast and brutal, our minds clouded with what we had just discovered. I prayed to the moon goddess that it wasn't true.Ava rode beside me, her hand occasionally brushing against mine, grounding me even as my thoughts spun uncontrollably.When we arrived, the sight that greeted us was worse than I had feared.There were a lot of wolves in the infirmary, it couldn't even hold all of them. Somewhere unconscious, some withered in agony, some were gasping for breath. Both children and adults, their veins were black, just like that of the warrio

    Xander's pov )More crates filled with their new weapons were staked high. They were prepared. This pile was far more than what we had gotten from our last raid. The dark energy around the weapons pulsed and filled the air, seeping into our bodies.There were even more maps scattered around. I sighed, more things to decipher. A headache began to build up just at the sight of them.There were also blueprints that showed the weapons and some other structures were built as well as some handwritten notes. They had been planning these for years— maybe decades or even centuries.Ava picked up one of the papers and I watched as her face darkened. “They aren't just planning attacks on us , they are trying to recreate something— something ancient.”Rowan’s voice was barely a whisper. “Zerathos’s forge.”“Yeah, this is a replica like I said earlier.” Ava said.But the place was strangely empty. This got me on edge as my body tensed. Why would a place with many valuable items be left unguarded?

    Xander's povWe left rainville at the crack of dawn. We travelled to the east where iron claw pack was located. The lush green environment changed to rocky hills and pointed cliffs. The further we climbed the thinner and dryer the air became, the smell of iron growing stronger.We were all silent as we rode. We had left Eiran back at rainville for him to fully recover. Rowan led the group as he was more familiar with the rough terrain since he often visits the pack.We finally got to the gates and were met by Alpha Drystan. He was a tall aged man with broad shoulders and salt and pepper hair with a beard. His mate, Luna Vira, was next to him, her grey eyes glinting like steel and just as sharp as she watched us.“Your majesty.” The guards greeted in unison with a bow.“You may rise.” I ordered.“Alpha Xander,” Drystan greeted with a nod. His voice was rough like gravel grinding on stone. “To what do I owe this visit? I see you've brought trouble, haven't you?”When I was newly appoint

    Xander's povWe already knew this but her confirmation made me tense.Nyssa turned to her healers. “Prepare the purification circle.”I watched as they got to work in preparing what she had asked and they lifted Eiran and placed him. In the center of the hell then placed bowls with herms all around him. They added crystals and vials filled with liquids of different colors. Nyssa knelt down next to him and began to draw intricate designs on his skin with a paste she had made by crushing up some leaves and herbs.Ava squeezed my hand, drawing my attention to her. “Do you think this will work?” she whispered.I shrugged. I didn't know but we had to try something at least.Nyssa began to say some chants. Her voice started off low then began to grow. The healers lit sage and the air grew thick as the scent and smoke filled the room.They fetched a portion of tej green liquid from the big basin and brought it over to her. The glow of the liquid grew as she dipped her hand into it then place

    XANDER'S POVWe had decided to pay Rainville pack a visit. They have the best healers, blessed by the moon goddess herself. They would be able to help us find a cure for the effect of the shadow forged blade.There are ten packs in lycara, each having their own specialty. Rainville are known for their unmatched healing abilities, Thornspike is good at setting traps and defenses, Ashville makes bombs, iron claw are blacksmiths that makes most of our weapons, wild heart tame animals and distribute meat to cold packs like silverclaw when their forest lacks animals due to the cold, blood moon have fierce— almost wild warrior, nightshade handle potions and poison, stormfang- navigate the sea, silverclaw have elite tracker's that work well in cold regions then blackthorn governs it all.The journey to rainville pack was exhausting and not because of the distance, but because of the uncertainty that was growing in me.

    Xander's pov“I'll get to that.” Kael said. “These were crafted with ancient werewolf knowledge, which I think we need to ask the elders more about. They need to tell us the truth, all of it.”“I'll see to it.” I vowed.Kael gave me a nod before continuing. “The runes are ancient, probably before the great war itself. When this dart meets its target, it leaves nothing more than a little wound— barely a scratch. Then the worse comes, it attacks the victim's soul.”“Soul?” Vanessa walked to the table from her position by the door.“The victim experiences intense pain, hallucinations, and mental breakdowns. In werewolves, it severs their connection with their wolf, making them unable to shift, feel their bond— including mate bond. It’s like tearing the spirit out of the flesh without killing them outright.”“That’s… worse than death for us.” Rowan whispered, face paler than before.I agreed silently. The thought of being cut off from Leo was unimaginable.Then Ava, out mate bond.That wo

    Xander's pov“A map,” I muttered as I walked towards it.Ava was by my side, she reached out and traced the lines on it. “This could lead us to the main rebel stronghold.”But something was wrong. I slapped her hand away from it. “I'm sorry.” I didn't mean to slap her hand but I had to react quickly.The map was moving, shadows like living… things.“Zerathos’s magic.” Ava whispered, eyes widening.I clenched my fists. Of course.We had Lyra back.Magnus was dead.But the main problem was still at large.****We were in the war room yet again. We had spent a week helping Lyra recover and trying to decipher the map whilst learning as much as we can about the weapons.We had a crucial piece— the map, yet we couldn't understand it. My frustration was beginning to ile up. Kael had called for this meeting today, he said he had found out something. Thankfully, he wasn't badly injured from the blast. It took him two days to recover— he still had a couple of bruises, but I was thankful that he

    Xander's povWe decided to leave at night. Using the cover of the darkness to our advantage. Ava ran next to me, she was completely in tune with her wolf sense now. Her sharp electric blue eyes glowed in the dark as it scanned our environment.Rowan was still silent. The guilt still rolling off him in waves. I was too focused on the mission to play the role of a comforting brother at the moment.At first, the trail was easy and simple— animal and werewolf tracks, broken twigs and branches, a sign that there was frequent movement along that path. A good sign.It didn't take long for us to begin to see the traps. The first was a simple tripwire that triggered some arrows. We luckily spotted it in time. The second one was a bit tricker, there was a series of false earth that gave way to home with spikes at the bottom.The layout of the traps were familiar yet foreign. It was the work of Magnus. He was clever, I'd give him that, but not clever enough.We successfully evaded them. Then cam

    Xander's pov“Talk,” I ordered, my voice hoarse from the strain I put on it barking out orders everyday.Kael responded immediately. “One of our scouts reported sighting some movement near the abandoned ruins at the edge of shadowfang territory so it had been overlooked for years. It has never been reported as rogue territory but upon closer look it seemed heavily guarded so it has to mean something.”My heart raced.Finally, A lead.A real one.Without another word, I adjusted my clothes and walked out of the office.This time, we’d bring Lyra home.Or die trying.*****The rogues have always found a way to outsmart us. After telling Rowan and Ava the latest news, I returned to my office to make some final preparations before we headed out.I stood by my window, staring out unto the pack lands. I hated how much destruction the rogues had made in such little time, how they caught us off guard. How we let our guards down and the once undefeatable and formidable blackthorn pack was use
