Chapter 74

Doubting Leap

Willow's POV

By the time the next week rolled around, the plans to relocate the project team to Crescent Moon Pack were in their final stages. Everything was moving faster than I had expected. It felt like I had barely gotten my feet under me again after returning from the pack, and now I was heading back into their world.

But this time, I wasn’t going to be there to stay. I had a project to manage, and my head was focused on the tasks ahead, not on the triplets or the complicated emotions that came with them. I only had one job to do, which was to do some research and avoid everything else.

Ruby was also getting ready to leave. She’d been a great support to me, especially after everything that had happened with the triplets. But now, it was her turn. She had arranged an introduction between me and her mate before they traveled. She was insistent on it, and as much as I tried to avoid the subject, she wouldn’t let up. “I’m not going to leave without you meet

    Chapter 75Extended SorrowsJason's POVI’d been trying to reach Willow for days. Every message, every call, it was as though I didn’t exist to her anymore. Ever since I told her how I felt, and she rejected me, she had shut me out completely. The silence burned. I couldn’t stop replaying our last conversation, wondering if I’d said something wrong or if there was anything I could’ve done differently. She was a woman I had waited for, right whole years of my life. Making sure that I eased out every for her. Frustration gnawed at me until I couldn’t take it anymore. I decided to go to her house. Maybe if I confronted her face-to-face, she wouldn’t be able to ignore me. When I got there, I wasn’t prepared for what I saw through the dining room window. Willow, Kingston, Ruby, and a man I didn’t recognize were all seated around the table, laughing and sharing what looked like a joyful meal. Willow’s smile was bright, her laughter genuine. The sight of Kingston there sent a wave of ange

    Chapter 76Channels and WaysJason's POVThe air was heavy, almost suffocating, as I sat in my car, staring at Willow’s house. The curtains fluttered slightly, and through the gap, I caught a glimpse of her moving briskly inside. She was packing. Packing for what? My chest tightened. Ruby was also leaving and I was yet to sort things out with Willow. I had been there for her, always there. Through every storm, every heartbreak, every doubt. And now, she was slipping away from me, and it was as if I had been powerless to stop it. This wasn’t how things were supposed to go. My hand hovered over the door handle for what felt like an eternity before I finally willed myself out of the car. The crunch of gravel under my boots mirrored the weight in my chest. I took a deep breath, adjusted my jacket, and rang the doorbell. The door opened moments later, revealing Willow, her expression polite but distant. She had always been good at keeping her emotions in check, an infuriating trait

    Chapter 77A New DiscoveryAsher’s POVThe weight of uncertainty had been crushing us for weeks. Our father, a man who had ruled with an iron fist and commanded respect and fear alike, had disappeared without a trace. For three weeks, we had searched. Three weeks of dead ends, false leads, and sleepless nights. The house felt clean and calm without his dominating presence, though the tension he left behind was palpable. Tonight, we gathered on the rooftop, a rare sanctuary from the chaos below. The evening breeze was crisp, cutting through the lingering warmth of the day. Above us, the stars shone like distant, indifferent witnesses to our struggle. Aiden leaned back in his chair, cradling a glass of whiskey. He looked weary, but his voice was firm when he broke the silence. “We need to face the truth. He’s dead.” The words hit me like a blow to the chest, but I refused to let them take root. “Stop saying that, we can't afford to think that way and ease up on the search for him.

    Chapter 78A New DoomAsher’s POV The woman’s wails lingered long after she left, echoing in my ears like a haunting melody I couldn’t shake. Her footsteps faded into the cold night, but the scene she left behind, a boy’s hollowed-out, lifeless body remained burned in my mind. The Pack’s clinic had taken the boy’s corpse, promising to investigate, but I already knew they wouldn’t find answers. This wasn’t something mundane. It wasn’t sickness or an accident. The next morning, it was obvious that none of us had slept. “This isn’t ordinary,” I said, breaking the silence between us. My voice felt foreign, thin. Axel stood a few feet away, rubbing his jaw as he stared at the now-empty space where the boy’s body had been. His eyes were heavy, exhaustion etched into every line of his face. “I agree. This is something… unnatural. We’ve seen rogue attacks, wild animal maulings, and even magical disturbances, but nothing like this. It’s beyond anything I’ve encountered.” I turned tow

    Chapter 79Home, Bitter HomeWillow’s POVThe air was cool as I stepped off the plane, but it carried none of the comfort I had hoped for. The airport was almost empty, the usual bustle of travelers replaced by an eerie quiet. I glanced around, clutching Daniel closer to my chest while Lina adjusted Ella in her arms. The kids were asleep, their small faces pressed against our shoulders, their breaths soft and even. We exchanged a tired look and I immediately knew that we might have come on the wrong day.The trip had been long, and I was drained from carrying the weight of both my children and my decisions. There had been no warm welcome, no familiar faces waiting to greet me. That was intentional. I hadn’t reached out to the triplets, didn’t want to. If they had also reached out, I might have felt differently, I realized. I was hurt that they did not reach out to me.A single taxi idled near the curb. The driver eyed us suspiciously as I approached, his gaze lingering on Lina before

    Chapter 80Everything ChangedWillow’s POVAs soon as I stepped back into the house, I leaned heavily against the door, pressing a hand to my chest. My heart pounded as if I’d been running for miles. Why had I panicked? The meeting with the triplets had gone better than expected, yet something inside me felt unsettled. Was it guilt? Fear? A gnawing unease crept up my spine. I couldn’t stop thinking about what would happen if they found out about the children. I exhaled shakily and forced myself to focus. I had to stay composed. I’d made it this far, and I couldn’t afford to falter now. Resolving to distance myself from the triplets as much as possible, I decided my new assistant would handle all communications with them. Direct contact was no longer an option. My emotions were already too tangled, and I couldn’t risk further complications. “Ma'am, are you okay?” Lina’s voice came softly from the living room, pulling me from my thoughts. I straightened and walked inside, find

Yet, it wasn’t threatening, it smiled at me, radiating a warmth that made my fears ebb away. For a moment, I felt a peace I hadn’t known in years. It was like a heavy burden, one that served as an obstacle that had been replaced by something else, something calmer, something that exuded a sense of content with my imperfect life. Then everything shifted. The serene image of the wolf was replaced by chaos. The wolf was under attack, surrounded by figures I didn’t recognize. They moved with calculated precision, weapons gleaming in the dim light. I wanted to cry out, to help the wolf, but I couldn’t move.

    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

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.
