CHAPTER 11

~ ANGELINA ~

The next morning, my body protested every movement. My muscles ached from the relentless training, bruises forming in places I didn’t even realize could hurt.

But giving up wasn’t an option.

Killian was already waiting when I stepped outside the cabin, arms crossed, his expression unreadable. The sky was still tinged with the soft hues of dawn, the air crisp with the lingering chill of the night.

“You’re late,” he said, though there was no real irritation in his voice.

I rolled my shoulders, wincing. “Or maybe you’re just early.”

He smirked but didn’t argue. “Let’s begin.”

I braced myself for another brutal session, but instead of immediately attacking, he circled me, his gaze sharp and assessing.

“Yesterday, you relied too much on instinct. That’s not enough.”

I frowned. “Isn’t that what fighting is? Instinct?”

“Not when you’re fighting someone stronger.” He stepped closer, lowering his voice. “Instinct is predictable. And predictable gets you killed.”

A chill

    ~ ANGELINA ~The howl echoed through the trees, a chilling sound that sent a shiver down my spine. It was deep, familiar, and filled with something dark—something that made my stomach twist in fear.I knew that howl.Luca.My blood ran cold. My body locked up, old instincts warring with my newfound strength. The years I had spent under his control resurfaced like ghosts clawing at my mind.I felt Killian’s eyes on me, sharp and assessing. “Inside. Now.”His voice was a low growl, carrying authority, but I couldn’t move.I stood frozen in place, my breath uneven. My fingers curled into fists, nails digging into my palms.“No,” I whispered. “I won’t run.”Killian stepped in front of me, his expression unreadable, but there was something like approval flickering in his eyes. “Good. Then fight.”Another howl tore through the silence, closer this time. My heart pounded against my ribs, my body buzzing with adrenaline.Killian’s pack was already moving, shifting into their wolf forms, their

    ~ ANGELINA ~The night air was thick with tension, the scent of blood and fury still lingering after Luca’s attack. I stood frozen, my mind replaying every moment. The way he had looked at me, like I was still his. Like I was something to be owned.I clenched my fists.Not anymore.Killian’s presence beside me was grounding. His sharp eyes stayed on the treeline where Luca had vanished, his posture rigid, as if waiting for another ambush.“Come inside,” he finally said.I hesitated.The cabin suddenly felt suffocating. The walls, the closed spaces—it all reminded me of the past. Being trapped. Being powerless.“I need air,” I muttered.Killian studied me for a moment, then nodded. “I’ll be nearby.”He didn’t argue, didn’t force me inside, just stepped away into the shadows, his presence still near but giving me space.I exhaled slowly, steadying my breathing. The night stretched around me, silent except for the rustling of leaves.But there was another sound.Footsteps.I spun, my hea

    ~ ANGELINA ~Sleep didn’t come easily.Even after I lay down, my mind raced, replaying every second of my encounter with Sienna. Her words, her demeanor—everything about her unsettled me. She hadn’t threatened me outright, but something about her presence screamed danger.And the worst part?I had no idea what she truly wanted.The dim light of dawn filtered through the window when I finally gave up on sleep. My body was exhausted, but my mind wouldn’t rest.With a quiet sigh, I slipped out of bed, wrapped a thin shawl around myself, and stepped outside. The crisp morning air greeted me, the scent of damp earth and pine filling my lungs.I wasn’t alone.Killian stood by the treeline, his back to me. Even from a distance, I could see the tension in his posture, the sharp alertness in the way he held himself.Something was wrong.I approached slowly. “You didn’t sleep either.”His head turned slightly. “Didn’t need to.”I stopped beside him, following his gaze into the woods. The trees

    ~ ANGELINA ~The air was heavy with tension.Killian and I moved through the trees, each step deliberate, every breath measured. The moon hung high above us, casting a silver glow over the forest, but even its light couldn’t pierce the unease curling in my chest.Sienna wanted to meet.And I was walking straight into it.Killian moved beside me, his presence steady. He hadn’t said much since we left the cabin, but he didn’t need to. His sharp gaze flickered around the darkened woods, alert to every sound, every shift in the wind.I couldn’t shake the feeling that we were being watched.“You still think this is a good idea?” Killian muttered under his breath.“No,” I admitted. “But I don’t see another choice.”His jaw tightened. He didn’t like this—I didn’t like this—but we both knew Sienna wasn’t the kind of person you ignored.And then, as if summoned by thought, she appeared.One moment, there was nothing but trees. The next, Sienna stepped into the clearing like she had been waitin

    ~ ANGELINA ~The walk back to the cabin was silent, but tension crackled between us. The air was thick with unspoken words, heavy with emotions I wasn’t sure either of us knew how to process.Killian’s pace was measured, but I could feel the energy rolling off him in waves. His jaw was locked tight, his shoulders stiff, his fingers curled into fists at his sides. He was angry—not at me, but at the situation. At whatever Sienna had stirred inside him.Inside me.“Not just an omega.”The words replayed in my mind, over and over, like a haunting melody I couldn’t shake.I had spent my whole life believing I was nothing more than an omega, the lowest of the low, a burden meant to serve and obey. But now… now, there were cracks in that truth. And through those cracks, something new was beginning to seep in. Something terrifying.By the time we reached the cabin, exhaustion settled over me like a heavy blanket. My body felt weighed down, my thoughts scattered, but my heart beat erratically,

    ~ ANGELINA ~The night passed in a restless blur. Sleep was a distant dream, slipping through my fingers like grains of sand no matter how hard I tried to grasp it. My body was exhausted, but my mind wouldn’t stop racing.The moment Killian shut his door, I had curled up on the bed, wrapping the blankets around me for warmth, but the cold wasn’t just in the air—it was inside me. A hollow chill burrowed deep beneath my skin, a whisper of something I couldn’t name.I tossed and turned, my thoughts looping endlessly back to Sienna’s words.“Not just an omega.”What did it mean?A sick part of me feared the answer.Another part—one I wasn’t ready to name—wanted it.By the time the first streaks of dawn crept through the window, I gave up on sleep entirely. My body ached, my mind felt sluggish, but I forced myself out of bed and into the bathroom, splashing cold water onto my face. The reflection staring back at me in the mirror was… different.My dark hair was tangled from sleep, my cheek

    I woke up to a numbing cold. It wrapped around me like a suffocating fog, seeping into my bones and making every inch of my body ache. My head throbbed, my limbs felt impossibly heavy, and my throat was parched. Blinking through the haze clouding my vision, I tried to take in my surroundings.Stone walls. Rough, uneven, and damp. A single torch flickered on the far wall, its dim light casting eerie shadows across the room. The scent of damp earth mixed with something metallic—blood?—hung thick in the air. I tried to move, but my wrists were bound behind my back, the coarse material biting into my skin.Panic surged through me. I tugged against my restraints, but they didn’t budge. Where the hell was I?Then, it all came rushing back. The chase. The masked men. The stranger with the locket.The memory of his glowing red eyes sent a shiver down my spine. He had saved me from those rogues, yet here I was, tied up and locked away. Had I escaped one captor only to fall into another’s hands

    The weight of his words settled over me like a suffocating blanket. The people hunting you have ties to those who have been after me for years. The stranger’s voice still echoed in my mind, sending a wave of confusion and unease through me.I stared at him, my fingers tightening around the iron bars that separated us. The dim torchlight flickered across his sharp features, casting shadows that made his already intense eyes even darker.“What do you mean?” I forced out, though my throat felt tight.The man—Damien, as he had introduced himself—watched me in silence for a moment before leaning closer. The space between us was barely an arm’s length, but it felt suffocating. His presence was overwhelming, his aura demanding attention in a way I couldn’t ignore.“I mean exactly what I said, Angelina,” he murmured, his voice laced with something unreadable. “The same people who want you dead have been after me for years. That can’t be a coincidence.”A chill slithered down my spine.None of

    The wind howled through the ruined temple as we stood at the precipice of the final battle. The sky churned with dark clouds, unnatural in their movements, as if the world itself knew what was coming. A storm was brewing—not just in the heavens, but in our souls.I could feel it. The darkness. The raw, unrestrained energy that had been sealed away for centuries, now clawing its way back into existence.And at the heart of it all, him.The one who had orchestrated it from the shadows.The one who had betrayed Lunara all those years ago.And the one who now stood before me, watching with eyes that glowed like molten fire.Malakai.I took a slow step forward, my pulse steady even as my body braced for what was to come. Luca and Damien flanked me, their presence grounding me, but I knew—this was my fight.Malakai smiled, his voice like silk laced with poison. “So, you finally remember.”I clenched my fists, power humming beneath my skin. “I do.”His smile widened. “Then you know why this

    The weight of the revelation pressed down on me like a crushing tide. My breath came in short, shallow gasps as I stared at the altar, the symbols etched into its stone glowing with an eerie light.The last of my kind. A forgotten bloodline. A ritual that would unlock the truth.Every nerve in my body screamed at me to stop—to turn away before I unleashed something I couldn’t control.But I had come too far to stop now.I forced myself to stand, my legs trembling beneath me. Luca’s hand shot out to steady me, his touch firm yet careful.“Angelina,” he said, his voice low, controlled. “Are you sure about this?”I looked up at him, into those dark eyes that had seen too much, endured too much because of me. I could see the war raging inside him—his need to protect me battling against the understanding that I needed to do this.I nodded. “I have to be.”Damien exhaled sharply behind me. “Well, this is either going to be a breakthrough or an absolute disaster.”I ignored him and stepped t

    The figure’s silver eyes burned into mine, their glow the only source of illumination in the endless void around us. My breath hitched, my heart hammering as I struggled to process their words.“Who are you?”It was such a simple question, yet it sent a shiver down my spine.Because I didn’t know the answer.I had been an omega—weak, unwanted, discarded. Then, I had been a wife—betrayed, used, thrown away. Now, I was something else entirely.Something more.The figure took a step forward, their form shifting as if they weren’t entirely bound to this plane. I instinctively tensed, ready to run if I had to, but something about them held me in place.“You don’t know yet, do you?” the voice mused, a strange mixture of amusement and something… deeper. Something ancient.My hands curled into fists at my sides. “I don’t know what you mean.”They tilted their head, as if observing me more closely. “You stand at the edge of two worlds, yet you belong to neither. The blood in your veins remembe

    The clearing was silent, the air thick with tension. My pulse pounded in my ears as I tried to steady my breath, my body still tingling from the power that had surged through me. The creatures lay scattered, their twisted forms crumpled against the trees. But the silence wasn’t reassuring. It felt like the calm before a storm.Luca’s grip on my arm was firm but not painful, grounding me as I wobbled slightly on my feet. His eyes bore into mine, dark and unreadable. “Angelina,” he said, his voice low but urgent, “what did you feel?”I swallowed hard, my throat dry.How could I explain something I didn’t even understand?“It was like…” I hesitated, searching for the right words. “For a moment, when my power touched them, I could hear something. Not words, exactly, but—” I stopped, frustrated.“A connection?” Damien guessed, his gaze sharp.I nodded slowly. “Yes. It felt… ancient. And familiar, somehow. Like a whisper in the back of my mind.”Luca exchanged a glance with Damien, somethin

    The forest remained eerily quiet as we moved forward, the only sound coming from the rustling leaves beneath our feet. The adrenaline was still coursing through my veins, making my fingers tremble slightly, but I forced myself to stay focused. Whatever had just happened—whatever power I had used—I needed to understand it. Control it. Because if I didn’t, it could consume me.Luca’s gaze flickered to me every few seconds, as if he was assessing me, trying to make sense of what I had done. He wasn’t the only one. Damien, who had been tense and sharp through every battle, was unusually quiet. He kept his distance, but I could feel his eyes on me too, wary and calculating.I didn’t blame them.Even I wasn’t sure what I had become.I clenched my fists at my sides and focused on the path ahead. The trees had started to thin, the density of the forest giving way to a faint, silvery mist. It curled around our legs, making it feel like the ground itself was shifting beneath us.“We’re close,”

    The darkness of the forest pressed in on all sides, the shadows seeming to stretch further with each passing minute. The air was thick with the smell of wet earth, and the distant rustle of leaves only heightened the sensation of being followed. Every step felt heavier, as though the forest itself was conspiring against us, drawing us deeper into its labyrinth of twisted trees and tangled underbrush. The weight of the unknown pressed down on my chest, suffocating me.I had always known that power came at a cost, but I had never fully understood it until now. The force that surged within me—this strange, dangerous energy—was both a gift and a curse. Each time I used it, I felt like I was losing a part of myself. I wasn’t just tapping into some external source of power; I was becoming something else. Something more dangerous.And the worst part? I didn’t know if I could control it.Luca’s presence beside me was a steadying force, though. His calm, unshakable demeanor seemed to balance o

    The forest was suffocating. Even though the cool night air should have offered some relief, it felt oppressive, heavy with the weight of danger that lurked just beyond the shadows. I couldn’t shake the feeling that we weren’t alone, that the darkness was closing in around us. Every crack of a branch, every rustle of leaves sent my pulse racing.Luca’s grip on my arm was firm but gentle, as if sensing my anxiety. He didn’t speak, but I could feel the quiet strength radiating off him, steady and unwavering. Despite everything that had happened, I found comfort in his presence. There was a calm in him that I didn’t have, a peace that somehow anchored me in the chaos.We moved quickly, following Damien as he led us through the dense trees. His eyes darted from side to side, scanning for any movement, any sign of a threat. I could see the exhaustion on his face, the way his breath came in shallow gasps. We had all been through so much already, and it felt like there was no end in sight.“A

    The air was thick with tension, the stench of earth and decay mixing with the sharp scent of danger that was creeping in on all sides. My heart raced, and my chest tightened as the power within me surged once more, a raw, untamed force that I struggled to keep at bay. I could feel it, like an electric pulse beneath my skin, urging me to unleash it, to let it consume everything around me. But I fought it. I had to. I couldn’t let it take control. Not again.The creatures—there were more of them now—surrounded us, their glowing eyes flickering like embers in the darkness. Each one was larger than the last, their bodies sleek and muscled, their claws scraping the ground with a sound that sent shivers down my spine. They were closing in, their low growls vibrating through the ground beneath my feet. It was only a matter of time before they attacked.Luca stood beside me, his presence a calming force amidst the chaos. His hand was on my arm, grounding me, but even he couldn’t hide the tens

    The forest stretched endlessly before me, its towering trees standing like silent sentinels, casting long shadows across the ground. The air was thick with the scent of pine and earth, the stillness of the morning broken only by the rustling of leaves beneath our feet. My heart beat steadily in my chest, though every step felt heavier than the last, weighed down by the unease gnawing at me.Luca walked beside me, his presence like a steady anchor, grounding me in a world that seemed to be spinning out of control. His gaze was fixed ahead, but every so often, his dark eyes would flicker to me, searching for something. I didn’t know what he was looking for—maybe reassurance, maybe fear—but I didn’t have the answers he wanted. Not yet.We had made it through the night, but the danger was far from over. The creatures that had attacked us in the forest, the ones that had been stalking us from the shadows, were still out there. And whatever power was stirring inside me, whatever it was that
