Ethan turned back to me after glancing at Damon, a look of identification lighting across his face. "You are with him right now? I had not anticipated that. Though his voice was laden with ridicule, there was something deeper in his gaze. "You seemed to be smarter than that."Damon's jaw tightened, and he grabbed my hand. I could sense the pressure emanating from him—the need to snap at Ethan was hardly under control. He held it back, though, his eyes icy and exact."What do you desire?" Damon insisted, his voice low and lethal.Ethan shrugged lazily, his hands sliding into the black coat's pockets as though he had endless time. "What then do I want for? That's a pertinent inquiry. You could argue that I'm here to wrap up some unfinished business.My tummy turned over, discomfort slithering up my spine. "Loose ends?" I repeated, not sure whether I wanted to hear the response.Ethan's smile wavered, something darker flickering in his gaze. Let us just state... Our little game is not yet

"Alara...". His speech was tight, as though he were fighting both me and himself. "This is not some romantic love. It's not some fairytale where everything comes around at last. This is accurate. And in the actual world, folks suffer.I inhaled a wobbling note. The words probe farther than I had anticipated. Every bit of me wanted to look away, let the anxiety overtake me, to simply walk out of this disaster and pretend I hadn't been caught in it. Still, I had something inside that would not give up. Backing out now was too late. I already was too deep in."You're not the one who gets to decide my fate," I said, voice steady this time. "You cannot break some delicate thing like me. You should be more concerned about yourself if anything. Since I intend to keep on backing forth."His mouth closed, and his eyes flashed with something I cannot quite interpret. Envy? Question? Was it something else as well? I became unable to tell anymore.Hisvoice wase just a whisper; he added, "You don'

Levi's mouth turned into a nasty smile. "Oh, I do not think so. The error rested with you, Ethan. Assuming you could just turn away from all of this without repercussions."As the puzzle's bits began to fit together, my heart pounded. Levi—he had been the one behind countless of the threats, the manipulations, the shadows lurking in the background. He had always been there, dragging threads and wreaking havoc, but until now I had never known the degree of it."You don't get it, do you?" Levi carried on, his eyes amusedly flitting between us. "You believe you can outpace your history, Ethan? That you can pass for everything's good hiding behind her? You are mistaken, then."As his words set in, my throat got tight. He was speaking of what? How did I fit into all of this?"You really think she doesn't know, do you?" Levi laughed and stepped in front of her. His gaze fixed on me, and the room's air changed once more—darker, cooler. "Your blindness prevents you from seeing her clearly."E

Come on," I muttered, my breath laboring, terror wriggling at me as I watched the shadows move at the other end of the corridor. The men were low and hostile in their tones, their boots weighty on the floor. Time was running thin for us.Like a gap in his armor, I could sense Ethan's reluctance; suddenly, just when I thought he might give up, the door sprung open.Growling, he pushed me over the opening into the alley beyond.Though I didn't have time to savor it, the cool night air felt like a smack. I could not stop now, even though I was already racing and my legs hurt with the exertion. Not with the very high stakes involved here. Not when the ones I loved may be in danger.Ethan's footfalls behind me were steady, but just now there was something else more pressing. His speed accelerated, and I shivered with terror down my back. Something wasn't right."Where are they? I gasped, staring across my shoulder. Too black, the lane was gloomy enough for me to hardly see the forms of the

A sick feeling coiled in my stomach. “Plans? What plans?”“You’ll find out soon enough,” he said, dragging me toward a darkened alley. “In the meantime, enjoy the quiet. It won’t last long.”I wanted to scream, to fight back, but something held me in place—something deeper than the terror pressing in on me. I had to know where Ethan was. I had to find out if he was alive.But as we rounded the corner, something in the distance caught my eye.A figure.Tall. Broad-shouldered. It couldn’t be. I blinked, my heart leaping into my throat. It was him.Ethan.But there was something wrong. His body was rigid, his eyes locked on us, but he didn’t move toward us. Didn’t come to my aid.“Ethan!” I cried out, my voice breaking.His gaze flickered toward me, but his expression remained unreadable.Levi’s grip tightened, and I looked up at him, confusion swirling inside me. “What did you do to him?”Levi’s chuckle echoed in the alley, dark and mocking. “I didn’t do anything to him. But that doesn’

The air between us thickened with unspoken words. The world around me felt distant and surreal, as if I were watching everything unfold from a distance. The weight of his rejection was too much to bear, but I didn’t have time to process it. I couldn’t afford to fall apart. Not now.“Levi’s waiting,” Ethan said, his voice so quiet, I almost didn’t hear it.Upon hearing his name, a shiver ran down my spine. Levi—my betrayer, the one who had orchestrated everything, the one who had turned my world upside down.“Levi?” I whispered, my throat dry. “What does Levi have to do with this?”Ethan didn’t answer. He just stood there, silent, and the silence roared louder than any words could."Tell me the truth, Ethan," I demanded, my voice cracking. "Is this all part of some plan? Did you ever love me?"He stared at me for a long moment, his expression unreadable. Then, finally, his lips parted, and the words that followed cut through me like a blade.“I never had a choice,” he said, his voice h

"What's going on?" I asked, my voice quivering. Ethan, what are you doing here? Why are you here with him?Ethan did not reply. His gaze shifted from Dante to me, and for a brief moment, I believed I sensed something, possibly guilt. But it was gone in an instant, replaced by the same inert look he had worn since this all began."Ethan!." I yelled out. Please, please chat with me. Tell me, please.Dante laughed sharply and cut off me. "Oh, Alara, he won't talk to you. Not in the manner you intend. You have passed your usefulness to him in the past.The punch of my heart pierced my stomach. "What??" That is untrue, no. Ethan, let me know this is untrue!Ethan replied nothing, though. He just stood there, unmoved, his face incomprehensible.The ground had seemed to have been pulled from under me. "Ethan, kindly!" I gasped out, emotional in nature, a tight throat. "Don't go ahead with this. I have no idea what has transpired. This is something we can correct. collectively.Ethan turned d

"You believe you might stop me, Levi?" Dante smirked, approaching me, his fingers still caressing my skin like a predator playing with its prey."I know I can," Levi said, entering the room with calm authority and a hard steel of will in his gaze. Then I will.Before Dante's dark and mocking chuckle shattered the tension, there was a long, strained period of quiet. He responded, gazing at us, "You're too late." You believe you can halt the already moving thing? Levi, the game has ended. You no longer get to participate.Levi stiffened his jaw, but he did not waver. Possibly not, but I'm not leaving here without her.The thickening air became heavy with approaching violence, a pressure developing in the room making breathing difficult.Then, as I thought I might pass out from the stress, something unanticipated occurred.The lights flashed once, then went out totally twice.pitches dark.Then the sound started to emanate. a low, guttural scream that appeared to emanate from all around

Turning to watch Jackson barreling into the clearing, his wolf form was magnificent and horrible. He wasted no time flinging himself at the closest renegade with a passion that astounded me.Though brief, relief washed over me. The shadows moved once again, as a fresh person entered the area.He was towering and intimidating, with nasty glistening eyes. "Well, isn't this touching?," he said in a sarcastic voice. The courageous Luna and her warriors.Marcus, I spat, venomous in my voice.He grinned and looked over the devastation. Ava, I cautioned you. One cannot run from the past. And you most definitely cannot run from me.He lifted his hand before I could reply, and a flash of black energy rushed at me. I tuned myself, but it never hit.Riley launched himself in front of me with full assault might."No!." As he sank to the ground, his wolf shape flickering before he turned back into his human nature, I shouted.Jackson hissed, blazingly angry eyes guiding him toward Marcus. Marcus w

I'm locked in. No one knows how to get out. I detect it. Panic claws at the margins of my thoughts, my pulse thuds in my ears. Here's how we got here. How rapidly did things spiral?My fingers shake at my sides, and my brain runs for any answer. But not at all. Only me, powerless here. Levi... God, Levi's blood is staining the concrete and I am unable to stop it."Please, Marcus," I say, my voice breaking with need. "Please, please do not do this. I will do anything, I promise to God. Anything your wish is for. Just try not to damage him. kindly.He tilts his head as if he is thinking about what I said, and he smiles sickeningly. His firm hold on the pistol narrows. "Everything? You believe you still have something worth offering me?Though I'm not sure what I anticipate, Marcus fires before I could respond.The gunshot had an unbearable sound.But it's not me.My heart rushing, blood hammering in my ears, I automatically lower to the ground. Turning, eyes wide, I see something that s
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 153: Bound by Secrets
I cannot lose you once more, Evie. Not like this. Not once again.Levi's voice is a harsh whisper on my skin; his words pierce the shroud of uncertainty and anxiety clouding my head. His hands quiver as they draw me in, his warmth sustaining me in this whirl of anarchy.In my chest, my heart beats wild and chaologically. Though everything seems to be disintegrating, I find it difficult to distance myself from him. His words and his touch really felt so authentic and honest. The pain I went through upon believing I lost him may easily overwhelm me once more. But the danger—that of Marcus—that is all too real. Too perilous.My voice quivering, I say, "I'm not going anywhere." "But we have to—”I swivel around, heart jumping into my throat, the sharp sound of cracking glass cutting me short. Under the low light of the alley, the figure's shadow blocks the passage. Breath freezes in my throat.He's it. Marcus?"You thought you could escape me, didn't you?," said Given the circumstances, h
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 152: Shattered Bonds
Though I can't concentrate on anything except the heat of Levi's fingers clutching mine, the planet is disintegrating all around me. Knowing we have limited time, my heart is racing not only from anxiety but also from the intense feeling that this may be the final time I spend with him."Levi, we have to go—now, my voice quakes with panic."With his clenched jaw, he draws me in and I can see the weight of what we have gone through in his eyes. Though he is staring at something I cannot yet see, his dark and strong eyes convey everything I need to know: danger is near. overly near."I am not leaving you," he adds, his voice a hoarse growl of will. "Not again.."I wonder whether he is speaking to himself or to me. Still, I feel it. The truth was found in his comments. Everything we have endured weighs less now than this. Marcus, the falling stone walls—the improbable chances—we have come so far; now, everything depends on this one instant.Hearing the sound of feet behind us—faint at fi
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 151: "Threads of Fate”
The man slanted his head slightly, as though entertained by my query. "I am the one dragging the threads straight from the darkness. The one waiting for this turning point. And about what I wish for... The person fixed cold, objective eyes on me. "You have to decide something. a decision meant to either rescue or ruin everything.With fast, shallow breaths, Evie's hand tightened in mine. "Levi," she said, her voice breaking with terror. "please. You really have to trust me. Choose not to pay attention to him."The person advanced still another step, their gaze narrowing. " Trust her?" They laughed dimly. "How can you believe someone who hardly knows her? Someone who from the beginning has been lying to you?Turning to Evie, the weight of her words etched in my chest. "Is that true? Evie... I asked, hardly sure I could keep my voice steady. "What then is happening? Not what are you not telling me?"The voice of the stranger came out once again, louder now before she could respond. Levi

Varian's smile grew wider, his eyes shining with a terrible, nasty pleasure. "To release a power outside your comprehension. She belongs to a lineage of entities designed to transform our planet. And her blood? It is the essence of everything.My heart came to a standstill. Blood, please. What was he referring to?"Don't listen to him, Levi," Evie urged, her voice cracking and desperation leaking through the gaps. "He's lying. He is controlling you. He usually has.But Varian turned her aside, staring just at me. His tone caustic, he spat, "You don't get it, do you, Levi?" She is not any ordinary person. She is the one who may bring either the birth of a new world or the end of this one. And you, he added, his eyes narrowing, "you're standing in my way."I knew nothing about what to do. What Varian was saying eluded me in terms of logic. All I knew, all I believed was real, was disintegrating.Once more I looked at Evie, but she was shaking her head and tears were running down her che
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 149: Shattered Trust
"Levi, please, just trust me!" Now she was trembling, her voice a combination of terror and something more—a plea, a warning. " This thing... it's after me."My ears could hear my pulse pound. Her comments have weight like those of a goods train. "Once you?" I asked, voice just a whisper. "Evie, you are hunting this thing?"The beast howled before she could reply, the sound splintering the air. I halted momentarily, not sure what was happening; it was like the roar of a beast and the wail of a dying man.I turned back to Evie, but her gaze had altered. Now, there was something icy about it—a resolution that froze me right down. "Levi, you have to go." At now. Before it becomes too late.I shook my head, shoved her behind me. "Not a probability. I am not bidding you farewell here.She grasped my arm, her hold overly strong. You must have. Should we not, it will wipe us both. Ask kindly.She kept me steady as I attempted to back off. Her eyes softened, only a little, as though she were
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 148: The Final Confrontation
A terrible, all-consuming terror seized my chest as the world darkened. My senses went wild and I could feel everything falling down right away. My sole anchor was the firm hold on my shoulder; my breath came in short spurts. Desperate for anything, anything to grip, I reached out.Levi... Evie's voice sounded far-off, a faint whisper that accentuated the terror chewing at me. "Levi, what's happening?"I had no retort for her. The gloom seemed overly weighty, too oppressive. Something cold pushed, metallic, and sharp pressed on my flesh; I automatically withdrew attempting to get away.Riley, the woman, leaned forward grinning wickedly from her lips. "You really thought you had control, didn't you?" Her voice sent chills up my spine like ice."Let him run!" Stronger now, Evie yelled, her voice tinged with an underlying horror I couldn't ignore.Riley's hold tightened, dragging me even nearer. Though it was pointless, I battled her grasp. Her strength felt surreal, as though she drew f
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 147: "A Promise in the Dark”
The planet appeared to spin at that instant. A huge crack sounded far away, then a deep, rumbling sound shook the earth underneath. The very ground seemed to be complaining, straying under the weight of something far more potent than I could understand.The shadows moved suddenly, then the unmistakable sound of shackles rattling. From the distance, a weak glow flickering revealed a shadowy figure rising from the gloom.Her face was hidden yet her shape was silhouetted against the low light. Her motions frenetic as she twisted and tugged, I could see her trying against the chains but she was nowhere."Evie!," My heart was hammering in my chest, I yelled. "Don't—,"The man's grasp tightened on my arm, pressing till it seemed as though the bones in my wrist were about to break before I could finish. "Don't waste your breath," he remarked frigantly. She had already left.Fury blazing in my chest, I turned to confront him. "You are lying!"But another crack louder this time rang in the dis
