Chapter 51

As Fate Fated

Willow’s POV

The morning sunlight streamed through the curtains of my hotel room, casting long shadows on the floor. I barely noticed it. My mind was consumed by the whispers I had overheard the day before, the fragmented details about Axel and his deteriorating condition playing on a loop in my mind.

Axel was dying.

Even now, it felt unreal to connect the vibrant, overconfident man I once knew with the lifeless figure those hushed voices had described. I had to find out the truth. I threw on my disguise, dark sunglasses, a long hoodie, and a scarf wrapped tightly around my hair, and stepped into the crisp morning air.

As I walked toward the pack's main grounds, my heart pounded in my chest. I stayed to the edges of the bustling pathways, avoiding direct eye contact. The voices of the pack members hummed like static around me, snippets of conversations drifting past.

“I heard Axel’s barely hanging on,” someone whispered as I passed.

I froze, preten

    Chapter 52A Questionable SolutionWillow's POVThe night was restless. Despite the exhaustion that weighed my body down, sleep evaded me. I lay in the hotel bed, staring at the ceiling, my thoughts swirling in every direction. Axel was fading. His pulse was weak. His body drained. The color had already drained from his skin, and I couldn't stop thinking about the state I had found him in. It had been worse than I expected. I had watched, helpless, as his life seemed to slip away from him. I couldn't rest, not when there was a chance, no matter how small, that I could still help him. The urgency of it kept my mind racing. The hospital had been an emotional rollercoaster, and it felt like every moment was slipping away, with nothing I could do to stop it.I sat up in bed and reached for my phone. My thumb hovered over Ruby's name, uncertain. But I knew she was the one person who would understand, who would not brush off my feelings of helplessness. Without another thought, I dialed he

    Chapter 53Dine with the DevilAsher's POVThe silence of the night was like a thick, oppressive blanket, the kind that weighs down on your chest and stifles every breath. It had been a long journey, one filled with secrets, lies, and betrayal, and I was finally nearing the end. I made my way to the final location after collecting two separate packages. The first stop had been a successful exchange, a mountain of cash handed over for a much-needed brief respite. Now, with everything packed away in my duffel bag, I was headed toward the last meeting. Marcelle was waiting for me. He always was. The leader of the kidnapping squad. A man who made his living through fear and bloodshed, orchestrating the worst of crimes in the shadowed corners of the world. The kind of man I had hoped I would never have to deal with. But here I was, standing before him, the weight of responsibility heavy on my shoulders. The antidote for Axel, my brother, hung in the balance, and time was running out.I wa

    Chapter 54Saved by the BellWillow’s POVTwo days. It had been two days since I’d last heard from Kingston. Two days that felt like an eternity. I had called, I had texted, and I had even left messages for him. But each time, my phone screen stayed silent. The number I had for him kept ringing, and every time, there was no answer. My stomach twisted with dread. I had done everything I could, everything short of throwing myself at his doorstep, but Kingston had not returned my calls. I knew he had promised me that the antidote would arrive, but I was starting to lose faith. Axel’s condition was deteriorating. His heart rate had been dropping steadily over the last 48 hours, despite the temporary solution they had given him. It was only a matter of time before it became irreversible, and I couldn’t let that happen. The thought of losing Axel, of losing him to something that might have been preventable, ate at me with every passing moment. Aiden had been on my case, too. Every time I

    Chapter 55Slow RevengeAsher’s POVWhen I regained consciousness, the world felt wrong. It was the kind of wrong you sense in your gut, but your mind is too clouded to process at first. My body ached, a deep, dull pain radiating from my neck and limbs. I tried to move, but the restraints holding me were tight and unforgiving. I could barely move my wrists, let alone my legs. My surroundings were unfamiliar, cold, metallic, and humming with the low, steady rumble of an engine. I blinked several times, trying to adjust to the dim light.The realization hit me slowly. I’m on a plane.I jerked my head to the side, feeling the sharp tug of the ropes, but nothing gave. There was no escape. The air around me was thin, carrying a stale scent that made my stomach churn. As I struggled to orient myself, I saw Elena. She was seated across from me, her gaze locked on mine, unwavering and predatory. “How long?” I rasped, my throat sore from the silence. My words felt foreign like they hadn’t bee

    Chapter 56Becoming SmartAsher’s POVIt had only been a week. Seven days, and I had already become someone else entirely. "Smarts," they called me. The men here had a strange respect for me, but it wasn’t one I had earned, at least not in the way I would have liked. They didn’t know who I truly was, or what I had done before I was brought to this hellhole. They only knew me as the guy who could read a map faster than most of them, or who could figure out the right tools to use before anyone else. They had no idea that I was here because I had failed my brother. Because my father had traded me away like some worthless pawn to settle his debts.And still, I was "Smarts." Even my cellmate, Leon, seemed to get a kick out of it. He was the type who found joy in the simplest things, like claiming me as his best friend the moment he could. I hadn’t asked for it, but it didn’t seem to matter. Leon was persistent. He was the one who would tell everyone that we were tight like we had a bond t

The doctor had given us good news this morning, and I could almost taste the relief on my tongue. It was still hard to believe that we’d made it this far, after everything that had happened, the poison, the desperation, and the fear that Axel might not make it, now we were here. Axel was going to be fine. It was just a matter of time.Still, something tugged at the back of my mind. The one thing I couldn’t shake. Asher. We hadn’t been able to reach him for days, and it was starting to wear on me. I’d tried everything I could think of, calling his phone, instructing Aiden to reach out to those people who might know where he was, and even trying to reach my pack, but nothing. Silence. He was out there, somewhere, and I had no idea where.As I walked out of the doctor’s office, Aiden was waiting for me in the hallway.

    Chapter 58Like Father, Not Like SonAiden's POVThe silence in the house was suffocating. I stood just outside the door to my father's chambers, my heart pounding in my chest. I had made up my mind, this confrontation was long overdue. The lies, the secrecy, the power games. I couldn’t stand it any longer. I needed to know where Asher was.As I opened the door, I immediately felt the weight of his presence, like an oppressive cloud that darkened everything around him. He was sitting behind his desk, his eyes cold and calculating. When he saw me, his lips barely twitched into a smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes. I was the nerd of the trio and somehow being forced to take a front-row responsibility was not something I was cut out for.“Aiden,” my father greeted me, his voice as smooth as ever, though there was a hint of something I couldn’t quite place. “What brings you here?”I wasted no time, walking straight to the point. “Where is Asher?”His eyes narrowed slightly, and for the b

I could feel the anticipation vibrating through every cell of my body. The cell I had been trapped in for the past week had become a cage, and I was ready to break out. The whole place was beginning to irritate me and every day, I hoped what Tomas said about a chance of Axel still being alive.Leon was already awake, sitting on his cot with a look of determination etched into his face. His eyes met mine as soon as I stirred, and I saw the flicker of excitement there, the same one I was feeling. He had proven to be more useful than I ever expected. When I first arrived, I thought I was alone, just another pawn in a game too dangerous to play. But Leon had helped me and showed me how to move through this place without drawing too much attention. He had connections, allies, and most importantly, he had a plan.“I’ve got the re

    Chapter 114Plans on the WrongJason's POVThe sound of my boots echoed in the empty hallway as I made my way to the dungeon. Each step felt heavier than the last, but I kept moving. My chest burned with anger, humiliation, and something I couldn’t quite name. Asher’s words from earlier replayed in my head, each one sharper than the last. “Illegitimate bastard.” I clenched my fists, the memory of his taunt making my blood boil. He had said it so casually like it was a fact everyone knew but dared not voice. Not in front of our father. He wasn't scared of the old man and I wondered how he was able to do that. Knowing that my mother had been nothing to my father unlike the rest of the woman in his life hurt me deeply. It was almost like I had made a mistake and for years I thought that. Not until my father had reached out to me to claim me as his son out of the blues. Asher had mentioned that father was not someone who does anything without something else behind it. But Asher had

    Chapter 113The Ultimate FusionWillow’s POVThe first thing I felt was the pressure. The weight of the earth above me pressed against my chest, making every shallow breath a struggle. I opened my eyes to total darkness, the realization sinking in that I was still buried. For a split second, panic clawed at my mind. My instincts screamed to thrash and claw my way out, but I forced myself to remain calm. I wasn’t the same Willow who had been laid in this grave three days ago. Closing my eyes, I drew in what little oxygen I could and reached out with my mind. Before the moon realm, connecting to anyone via mind-link had always been a challenge for me, requiring intense focus and effort. Now, it felt as natural as breathing. Lina. Her response was immediate, her voice clear and steady in my head. "Willow! You’re awake! Hold tight; we’re coming to get you." I could feel the ripples of excitement emanating from her wolf and I could only imagine how worried she must have been before

    Chapter 112Truth UnfoldingAsher's POVRegret settled deep in my chest, as heavy as a mountain. I stared at the cold stone floor of the dungeon, my arms bound tightly behind me. The air was thick with despair and the coppery scent of blood. I should never have come here. My impulsive decision to confront my father had not only put my life at risk but had also escalated his wrath to levels I hadn’t anticipated. Six-pack members were already dead. I flinched as another agonized scream echoed through the chamber, cutting through the silence like a blade. My father, Alpha Thane, stood tall and imposing, his silver-streaked hair glowing in the dim torchlight. Beside him was Elana, his loyal, sadistic partner-in-crime, a twisted grin etched on her face. Each scream ended the same way, an abrupt, eerie silence that signified another life extinguished. “Asher,” my father said, his voice dripping with mockery as he turned to me, “do you enjoy the sound of their suffering? It’s all bec

    Chapter 111Ethereal Willow's POVI woke slowly, the weight of the world lifting from me as I blinked open my eyes. Except...these weren’t my eyes. They were sharper, keener. The colors around me were dazzling, the world a canvas of ethereal light and shifting hues. Streaks of gold, blue, and lavender rippled through the air, blending into shapes and patterns that seemed alive. I tried to move and realized I wasn’t in my human form. My paws pressed against the soft ground beneath me, my silver fur shimmering like liquid moonlight. My wolf senses were heightened beyond anything I’d ever experienced. The air hummed with energy, and every sound and scent was more vibrant than I thought possible. Where was I? Looking around, I realized this wasn’t the world I knew. This place wasn’t earth, it was something else entirely. It hit me like a thunderclap: this was the Moon Realm. The stories I’d heard whispered since I was a pup, were the eternal resting place for wolves like me, where

    Chapter 110Held HostageAxel’s POVI hadn’t slept. Not properly. The grave where we’d buried Willow loomed in my mind all night like an unspoken challenge. Every time I closed my eyes, I imagined her struggling beneath the earth, reaching out, needing us, and we weren’t there. The hours dragged by and even the soothing light of the moon did little to quell the storm inside me. The others didn’t seem much better. Aiden stayed awake sharpening his knife, over and over, his face an unreadable mask. Kingston sat with his back against the oak tree, pretending to be calm, but his eyes betrayed him, they flicked toward the burial site every few minutes. And Lina? She hovered like a shadow at the edge of the clearing, muttering under her breath as if running through a list of problems I wasn’t privy to. I was desperate for movement, a sign, anything to indicate that Willow was okay. “Lina,” I said sharply, louder than I intended. She stopped pacing, turning to me with an annoyed expr

    Chapter 109The Beginning of the EndAsher’s POVThe firelight flickered in the corner of my vision, but my eyes stayed locked on the shallow grave. None of us spoke. We’d all decided to stay outside, camped out beside the ritual spot where Willow lay buried under the moonlight. Each of us carried a weight that grew heavier with every passing second. Daniel and Ella had woken up earlier to ask for their mother. They were asleep now but it had taken a lot of convincing to get them to believe that Willow went to get them something and had not been captured by their father.Axel paced a few feet away, his boots crunching against the frost-covered grass. Aiden sat cross-legged, absently tracing patterns in the dirt with a stick. Kingston leaned against a tree, his arms crossed, watching the grave like a sentinel. I was seated on the ground, knees pulled to my chest, trying not to let the gnawing worry consume me. What if something went wrong? What if she needed us and couldn’t call ou

    Chapter 108The Moon RitualLina's POV The fire crackled low in the hearth, casting flickering shadows on the walls of the living room. Everyone had gone to bed hours ago, but sleep was the last thing on my mind. My hands clenched the edges of the blanket draped over me, the voices of doubt from earlier replaying in my head.“Half-baked plans,” Axel had said. “Do you even know what you’re doing, Lina?” Asher’s voice, though softer, was just as sharp.It wasn’t the first time they had questioned my abilities as a wolf seer, but today, it had cut deeper than ever. I wasn’t just a part of this pack, I was their guide, their protector. To hear them doubt me made me feel smaller than I ever had before. I leaned forward, staring into the embers as if they held the answers I sought. The truth was, I didn’t have all the answers, not yet. But I would. I threw the blanket aside and rose from the couch, determination swelling in my chest. If they didn’t trust me to lead, I would prove to

    Chapter 107A Call Out Willow’s POVThe house was unnervingly quiet, the kind of silence that made every creak of the floorboards and whisper of the wind feel amplified. The faint light of the television flickered across the room, illuminating the tense faces of those around me. It felt like we were waiting for something inevitable, something we couldn’t stop even if we wanted to. Asher sat closest to the TV, his arms crossed and his jaw set in a tight line. Aiden leaned forward, elbows on his knees, his usual calm veneer cracking under the weight of the situation. Axel placed near the window, restless energy radiating from him like a storm waiting to break. Lina and I sat together on the couch, her steady presence a comfort I didn’t know I needed. We were waiting for the broadcast. Waiting for Thane. The children were upstairs, blissfully unaware of the danger looming over us. I envied their innocence, and their ability to sleep soundly while the rest of us were drowning in u

Everyone seemed lost in their own thoughts, weighed down by the uncertainty of what was to come. As the day dragged on, I found myself sitting cross-legged on the floor with Lina in a quiet corner of the house. Her eyes were intense, her voice steady, but her words were like sharp arrows aimed at my heart. “You know this isn’t something you can avoid, Willow,” Lina said, her tone leaving no room for argument. “The longer you wait, the stronger Alpha Thane becomes. He’s not just going to stop at the pack. He’s aiming for complete dominance. You heard him, he won't stop, once he was down here, he would be moving on while Jason took over from him.” I sighed, leaning my head back against the cool wall. “You make it sound so simple like I can just wake up one day and decide I’m ready to fight an evil Alpha who’s backed by dark magic. Lina, I don’t even know what I’m doing.
