Chapter: 34 ******* VALE: I had watched helplessly as they beat him, their strength overwhelming. In that moment of despair, I could no longer bear it. My visit to the Goddess may not have granted me my deepest desire, but it had led me to Arion. Once in a while, Arion would allow me a visit to see my Virgil. Slowly, the years flew by. During the first blood moon, I didn’t see him; I had no idea how he was faring or what he was up to, but I took comfort in knowing he was safe within the camp. However, Arion eventually informed me of the constant difficulties he faced among the seniors, who refused to accept him as anything but a blood-sucking vampire. They would assault him at the slightest opportunity. Having worked alongside Arion for so long, I had shared my deepest despair with him. In turn, he revealed to me that it was he who had guided my Birth Omega to the cave where Talon lay, allowing Altair to awaken. After that, I pleaded for even fleeting moments to see my Virgil,
Chapter: 35 ******* VALE: I inhaled deeply, filling my senses with the sweet scent of moonflowers, each fragrant note wrapping around me like a comforting embrace. It reminded me of the beauty love could bring, a stark contrast to the fear threatening to consume me. I had already lost so much; the thought of losing Virgil again in this life was a weight I could not accept. If the price of my love was to risk my very essence, then so be it. I have done it once before, and I am willing to do it again, and again. My resolve hardened like steel, and I felt the fire of determination blaze within me. I would face the Goddess, even if it meant confronting an abyss of uncertainty. I would plead for the chance to walk among humans, to protect my mate, to be able to unite with my halve, and to fight against the darkness that threatened to tear us apart. In that moment of clarity, I realized that love was worth the risk, worth the gamble of losing myself to save the one who meant everything
Chapter: 36 ******** VALE: As I stepped into the embrace of the Spirit River, a shiver of recognition coursed through me. The air shimmered with a luminescent haze, and the water flowed like silver threads under the soft glow of the celestial light. It was a sight that always brought me solace, yet today, my heart felt heavy. The river whispered secrets of the cosmos, but all I could hear was the fading warmth from my earthly visit. The scent of wild jasmine mingled with the cool breeze, a comforting reminder of the world I had just left—a world where my mate, awaited me. I inhaled deeply, hoping to capture the essence of that fleeting time, but the memories were bittersweet, tangled with longing. As I waded deeper into the water, the gentle current lapped against my legs, but it did little to soothe the ache within. Arion stood at the river's edge, a silhouette against the glowing waters, his presence both commanding and comforting. His long hair floated like strands of twilig
Chapter: 37 ****** TALON: Time had a peculiar way of slipping past me, like water through my fingers. Days turned into weeks, and weeks blended into months as I settled into my new life at the camp. My mornings were filled with classes that expanded my knowledge, while my afternoons were consumed by combat training that pushed me to my limits. Each day presented a new challenge, and every lesson was a step toward becoming stronger and more skilled. I could feel myself improving rapidly—my body adapting to the rigorous training and my mind sharpening with every lesson learned. After feeding from Altair that day, I had walked around the camp with a weight of fear hanging on my shoulders, expecting to see my uncle charging behind me, ready to end my life. But as time passed, I neither heard nor saw anything, and slowly, I returned to my routine. I hadn't fed on rabbit blood since that day, and the transformation I experienced lingered, making my day-to-day life easier to manage. I
Chapter: 38 ******* TALON: I got to my feet and began to pace, the weight of my thoughts pressing heavily upon me. My friends watched me quietly, allowing me to process my agitation. “When I was about eight years old, I lost my mother, and then my uncle, Luna Dirk. He searched everywhere for me and eventually found me, bringing me back to the Pack. I lived with Luna Caleb and got along well with the peculiar sons, the children of Alpha Kurt, and the daughter of Omega Raphael. My childhood seemed fun at first until the day I bit into my uncle’s belly while he was pregnant with his son. I still don't understand why I did that; the question haunts me even now. After that incident, I lost my friends and the family who had taken me in. They all began to treat me differently, and I never saw my uncle again. “Eventually, I was locked away, confined within the four walls of my room. I was fed a small bottle that contained blood, which I later learned was my uncle’s. I was able to drink
Chapter: 39 ******* TALON: The next morning, as I sat in class, the teacher droned on about the complexities of strategy in pack dynamics, but my mind was elsewhere. My heart raced as I tried to focus, the classroom walls seeming to close in around me. Suddenly, a notification sound erupted, followed by a chorus of pings from the students' phones, drowning out the teacher's voice. Curiosity flickered in my chest, but as I turned to see what was causing the commotion, I noticed the snickers from behind me. A few students were tossing rolled-up paper balls at my back, their laughter sharp and mocking. My stomach twisted in knots. I reached for my phone, dread pooling in my chest. When I unlocked it, my heart sank. The group chat, infamous for sharing camp gossip, was blowing up with notifications. Videos had been posted, and my stomach dropped as I clicked on one. The image that filled my screen was a grotesque caricature of my face, distorted and shaped like a rabbit. My voice
Chapter: 40 ******* TALON: Beta Knight ushered me into his office, the heavy door closing with a resounding thud that echoed in the tense silence. My heart raced, not just from the impending confrontation but from the sight of my uncle, Dirk, who sat behind the desk like a dark cloud looming over me. The moment our eyes locked, a wave of disdain washed over me, and I felt my body grow cold as fear coursed through my veins. As I dropped to my knees, the cold floor pressing against my skin, I felt utterly helpless. It was as if all the blood in my body had drained out, leaving me pale and trembling before the man who had always been a source of intimidation. Dirk rose from his seat, his movements deliberate and predatory, and I could feel the weight of his anger bearing down on me. “Look at you,” he hissed, his voice dripping with contempt. “You’re a disgrace, Talon. A pathetic excuse for a vampire.” I couldn’t speak; the words caught in my throat, suffocated by the overwhelmin
Chapter: 41*******TALON:As I lay on the cold floor, the world around me began to blur, the pain of my uncle’s words mixing with the sting of my tears. I could hear the rustling of papers and the low murmur of voices as Dirk returned to his seat, the heaviness of his presence pressing down on me like a stone. Beta Knight sat across from him, a grim expression etched into his features, and I knew they were about to discuss my fate.“Let’s talk about the punishment,” Dirk said, his voice steady but laced with venom. “This insolence cannot go unpunished. Talon needs to learn that there are consequences for his actions.”I felt a chill creep down my spine. The dread that had settled over me earlier intensified, and I instinctively curled into myself, bracing for the worst. Beta Knight nodded, his face devoid of sympathy. “What do you propose, Luna?”Dirk leaned back in his chair, a cruel smile playing on his lips. “I think it’s time Talon learned a lesson he won’t forget. I want him sen

Chapter: 145 ***** PART THREE AND THE END…. “Come,” Arion said, rising to his feet and gesturing for me to follow. He led me toward the Mirror of Eternity mounted on the wall. “Look,” he instructed, pointing into its depths. A swirling cloud of smoke filled the mirror, gradually taking shape to reveal my Virgil, deep within the forest behind Elysium, where he often went for his hunts. “This was the moment you asked me to watch over him while you fulfilled your vows to the Goddess. That night, he saw me by the river. He didn’t recognize me, of course, but he spoke to me. It was at that moment I realized he had perceived my presence. He shouldn’t have been able to see me unless I revealed myself, yet I never did, and still, he saw me.” I stepped closer to the mirror, placing my hand against the cool surface where his image lingered. Arion turned to me, his gaze intent. “Do you know what he said to me that night?” I shook my head, turning my full attention to him. “He sa
Chapter: 144 ****** PART TWO: Virgil gasped as Vale's tongue lapped vigorously as his exposed velvet heat. The strange sensation caused Virgil to writhe and moan, leaning closer to the mattress and holding his ass higher for his wolf to continue his oral assault on his tender hole. It wasn't long before saliva started to drip down Virgil's thighs, the Vampire was a slave to his own body. "Please... More!" He found himself begging as he looked back at his giant white wolf. Slowly, Vale began to shift but Virgil was lost in his own world to notice this until two fingers slipped into his mouth and he sucked on them, wetting them, moaning as more of Vale's taste seeped into him. Then the fingers were taken from his eager mouth, and Virgil was going to protest their loss when he cried out as they were pushing deep inside him, curling to stroke over his gland roughly. “Ngh... P-Please…” Virgil begged, his voice trembling with desperate need, prompting a deep chuckle from Vale.
Chapter: 143 ****** EPILOGUE PART ONE: ***** Once in the bedroom, Vale leaned against the door, his presence commanding and intoxicating. As Virgil stepped down, the air thickened with the heady scent of Vale’s strong pheromones, wrapping around him like a warm embrace. It ignited memories of that first, wild rush of desire, sending shivers down his spine as he recalled the way he had once lost control, surrendering to his own touch. A soft smile played on Virgil’s lips, a blend of confidence and vulnerability, as he approached the edge of the bed. With Vale still poised by the door, a silent guardian of their shared tension, he began to undress, each movement deliberately slow and tantalizing. The fabric slipped away, revealing skin that glistened under the dim light, and Vale’s gaze roamed hungrily, filled with a fierce longing that made Virgil's heart race. In that charged atmosphere, the world outside faded, leaving only the two of them, electric and raw. Vale's eyes

Chapter: 142 ****** THIRD PERSON: The air in the bonding hall was thick with anticipation, the soft glow of candlelight flickering against the stone walls, casting dancing shadows that seemed to echo the hearts of those gathered. At the front of the room, the Elder stepped forward, his presence commanding yet soothing, drawing the attention of all who were present. With a gentle but firm voice, he began to anchor the ceremony. “We are gathered here today to celebrate the union of two souls who, through trials and tribulations, have found each other. Their love has stood strong against all odds.” His gaze swept across the assembly, each face reflecting the warmth of shared joy. “Today, we witness their sealing—the binding of two souls, different by blood and Kin, yet entwined by love. It is a sacred bond, a fate joined.” The Elder raised his staff high, its tip adorned with intricate carvings that glimmered in the candlelight. He pointed it toward the moon-shaped window abov
Chapter: 141 ****** THIRD PERSON: “Are you ready?” Dirk asked his presence a comforting reminder of the love and support that surrounded Talon since his Uncle accepted him and forgave him, even amid familial discord. Talon nodded, a genuine smile breaking through as he turned back to his father one last time. “I’ll be okay,” he reassured, stepping toward Dirk. The man had transformed over the years, treating Talon with a kindness that felt like a continuous effort to make up for the many lost years between them. Talon deeply appreciated his uncle’s efforts and the love he offered; it was something he had longed for throughout his life. Despite having a father now, Talon’s bond with Dirk remained unchanged. No matter what, Dirk would always be the only family Talon truly knew. “Dad!” The exuberant voices of his children rang through the air as they burst into the room, their faces alight with joy. At thirteen years old, they were a whirlwind of energy, and Talon’s hear
Chapter: 140 ****** THIRD PERSON: The RiverBay Pack buzzed with excitement, the air thick with anticipation as the Bonding celebration approached. In the farthest wing of the Manor, Talon remained secluded, locked away for three days, immersed in the necessary rituals, the only people he saw during this time were his uncle and the omegas who attended to him. He could feel the weight of the hours pressing against him, each moment drawing him closer to the one he longed to see—Vale. Even Altair who roamed around his head with each breath he took, was locked out. The ache of missing his soulmate gnawed at him, a reminder of their shared connection that surpassed time. Dressed in a sleek black bonding attire, Talon admired his reflection in the mirror. The fabric clung to him, elegant yet tantalizing, hinting at the form beneath while maintaining an aura of mystery. His chest tightened with a mix of eagerness and anxiety as he recalled the whirlwind of change that had swept throug
Chapter: 139 ***** TALON: ("Are you aware that she’s manipulating you, or rather, manipulating Helios?") Altair’s voice sliced through my reverie, prompting a smile as I gathered the children and guided them toward their bedroom. It was essential to soothe their spirits so they could find peace tonight. Helen accompanied me until we reached the children's room, but it was Liam who broke the silence first. “Can we stay in your room tonight?” he asked, his voice still tinged with the remnants of tears, soft and fragile. Without hesitation, I nodded and redirected our path toward my own bedroom. Once inside, I tucked the twins into bed, remaining by their side until their breathing steadied into sleep. Helen had slipped away earlier, leaving just me and the children in the quiet room. With them finally at rest, I turned and stepped out onto the balcony, settling into a chair as I gazed up at the luminous moon. “I apologize for keeping you restrained while she was hurting
