Chapter 124: The Price of InfiltrationAria's POVAfter Veyron's ambush, there was an uncomfortable silence in the camp. Even though we had survived the attack, there was no denying the damage it had done to our forces. We had lost trust and soldiers in spirit. I still felt the weight of their stares and questioned whether I was worth the sacrifices.The parchment that Killian had discovered was laid out on the table in front of me as I sat in the strategy tent. Veyron intended to use it to break all mating links, and its faded ink and complex glyphs described a destructive power ceremony. Tracing the lines on the map beside it, which marked the route to the Obsidian Spire, the site of the ritual, made my hands shake.Killian paced the room like a wolf in a cage and remarked, "We don't have much time." His normal composure was eroding, and his voice reflected his irritation. We're all done if Veyron activates that artifact. We must take action immediately.I tried to steady my voice a

Chapter 125: Veil of ShadowsAria’s POVAs I huddled under the twisted branches of the forest, the cold of the early morning bit my skin. My presence was hidden by the dancing shadows around me. Tension permeated the air, and the weight of what lay ahead weighed heavily on every breath I took.The Obsidian Spire towered above me, its sharp peaks piercing the sky like a sinister sentry against the horizon. Its stifling force served as a throbbing reminder of Veyron's increasing might."Are you prepared?" Killian's steady but quiet voice came through the magical connection stone I was holding. On the other side of the fortress, he and Eva were in charge of the distraction force."Yes," I responded in a whisper. The stone vibrated slightly to let me know he had heard me, but my voice hardly made it through the silence. "Start the distraction. When they're focused on you, I'll strike.There was a tense silence before Killian said, "Ariana, stay safe." We will keep them for as long as poss

Chapter 126: Shadows in the RanksVeyron’s POVThe chaos of war was my symphony, and tonight, I was the maestro. From my vantage point in the upper chambers of the Obsidian Spire, I watched the Moonshine and Golden Claw Packs march as one. Their fragile truce would soon shatter like glass, just as I had planned.“Everything is in place?” I asked, my voice low but commanding.“Yes, Alpha,” replied Kael, one of my most loyal rogues. His eyes gleamed with anticipation, his muscles taut with the promise of bloodshed. “The infiltrators are embedded. The signal will be given when they are close enough to tear each other apart.”I allowed myself a cold smile. It had been a masterstroke of manipulation, planting seeds of discord within both packs. Over months, I’d identified their weaknesses—the disgruntled wolves, the ones who felt overlooked or betrayed by their alphas. Promises of power and freedom had been enough to twist their loyalty.But it was the artifact that had truly bound them to

Chapter 127: Chains of the HeartSelena’s POVThe world was a haze, a swirling mix of shadows and whispers that pulled at the edges of my consciousness. My body moved, but it wasn’t my own. My hands gripped the cold steel of a dagger, but the weight of it didn’t feel real.It was the artifact. Veyron’s dark magic had wrapped itself around my mind like a vice, leaving me trapped within a prison of my own thoughts. I could hear his voice in my head, a commanding, serpentine tone that left no room for resistance.“You will do as I command, Selena,” he whispered. “She is your target. Aria must fall.”No.The word echoed within me, weak and futile against the tide of his control. I had fought so hard to keep him out, to shield my thoughts from his intrusion. But the artifact’s power was too strong, and now I was little more than a puppet, my strings pulled by a monster.As the battlefield blurred into view, I spotted her.Aria.Her golden hair shimmered like a beacon amid the chaos, her mo

Chapter 128: Shattered Shields Killian’s POV The battlefield reeked of blood, smoke, and despair. My wolves were dropping one by one, their howls of pain echoing in my ears like a symphony of failure. The artifact, a jagged monstrosity of obsidian and crimson runes, loomed in the center of Veyron’s stronghold, protected by an impenetrable barrier of dark magic. Every attempt to breach it had been met with devastating force. And now, I was running out of time and warriors. “Hold the line!” I bellowed, my voice barely audible over the chaos. My Beta, Marcus, stumbled toward me, his fur matted with blood. “We can’t hold much longer,” he growled, shifting back into his human form. “The wards are too strong. Every time we weaken one, it regenerates.” I clenched my fists, the weight of command pressing down on me like a physical burden. My pack had faced countless battles, but this was different. Veyron’s magic didn’t just kill—it corrupted, turning even the strongest of wolves into m

Chapter 129: Fractured LightAria’s POVThe moonlight bathed the ruins of our makeshift camp in an eerie glow. Despite the quiet, the air pulsed with tension, heavy with the weight of what was to come. I sat cross-legged in the center of a hastily drawn circle, its edges lined with silver dust and herbs Eva had insisted would help me connect to the Moon Goddess.“Focus, Aria,” Eva said, her voice steady but firm. She stood at the edge of the circle, her hands clasped tightly around a crystal that pulsed faintly with energy. “The connection is delicate. Don’t force it.”I closed my eyes, trying to block out the chaos around me. The distant cries of the wounded. The faint tremors of the earth as Veyron’s forces continued their relentless assault. Darius was somewhere out there, recovering from his last ordeal, while Killian...I shook the thought away. No distractions. Not now.The silver dust around me began to shimmer, and a faint warmth spread through my chest. I focused on the energ

Chapter 130: The Heart of the ArtifactDarius’s POVThe cavern walls hummed with a low, vibrating energy, as if the very earth itself recoiled from the artifact's presence. The deeper we ventured into Veyron's stronghold, the more oppressive the air became. It was as though the darkness around us had weight, pressing against our skin, clawing at our minds.Aria led the way, her magic illuminating the jagged stone walls with a faint silver glow. Beside her, Killian walked with tense purpose, his jaw set in a grim line. I followed closely, my scar burning with every step closer to the artifact.The echoes of distant battles reached us, muted but ever-present. Our allies were fighting above, buying us the time we needed to reach the artifact. Time we couldn’t afford to waste.“Darius, how much farther do you think?” Aria’s voice was quiet, but the tension in it was unmistakable.I closed my eyes briefly, focusing on the pull of my scar. It wasn’t just a mark anymore—it was a tether to th

Chapter 131: The Rise of the False GodAria's POVThe chamber trembled as the artifact’s searing light dissipated, leaving the air heavy with the scent of scorched stone and blood. I staggered to my feet, my ears ringing from the explosion. Around me, Killian and Darius were recovering as well, their expressions grim but resolute.But my eyes were fixed on Veyron.He stood in the center of the chaos, untouched by the destruction. His dark aura pulsed, stronger than ever, as if the explosion had only fueled him. The artifact behind him was fractured, its glowing core now dim and sputtering, but its magic still lingered in the air, malevolent and suffocating.Veyron turned his gaze to me, his black eyes glinting with a terrible clarity. “You’ve done well to make it this far, Aria,” he said, his voice smooth and mocking. “But you’re too late. The moment of ascension is at hand.”“What are you talking about?” I demanded, summoning the last reserves of my magic to steady myself.He spread

Chapter 200: A New DawnAria’s POVThe woodland was filled with the aroma of wildflowers and pine as the wind blew through the trees. The Golden Claw pack's domain was illuminated by silver light from the brilliant moon overhead. Even though I had always turned to the moon for direction, something seemed different today. Or maybe it was me that had changed.I felt whole for the first time in my life—not because of a connection, a title, or other people's expectations, but because I had created my own identity. I had reconstructed a universe from the ashes of the past, fought gods, and disobeyed old customs. I had come to this point because of every scar, decision, and sacrifice.Looking out over the peaceful landscape that extended to the horizon, I stood at the edge of the clearing. This was my heritage, my people, and my home.

Chapter 199: The Leader I’ve Become Aria’s POV The dawn broke over the camp, painting the horizon in hues of gold and crimson. I stood at the edge of the clearing, staring into the woods that had become both my refuge and my battlefield. The past few days had been relentless—a swirl of revelations, battles, and choices that had irrevocably shaped me into someone I barely recognized. And yet, I felt stronger than I ever had before. The mate bond was gone, and with it, the tether that had once dictated my choices and emotions. It was a strange kind of freedom, one that I still wasn’t entirely sure how to wield. But as I looked around at the camp bustling with activity, I knew one thing for certain: I was no longer just a survivor. I was a leader. The packs were scattered, but not broken. They were looking to me now, not as a savior or some mythical figure, but as a symbol of what we could become—a society built on choice, trust, and unity rather than ancient, unyielding traditions.

Chapter 198: Parting Words Killian’s POV The camp was quiet in the early morning, the stillness heavy with the aftermath of the latest revelation. The glowing fissure, the figure cloaked in shadow—it was a warning that none of us could ignore. Yet, as the chaos settled into a wary calm, I knew my time here was coming to an end. I watched from a distance as Aria stood at the center of the camp, her presence commanding despite her exhaustion. She gave orders with a steady voice, her pack looking to her for guidance. She’d grown into a leader far beyond what anyone could have imagined—certainly more than I had ever expected. It was why I couldn’t stay. I turned away, heading toward the edge of the camp where my warriors waited. They were restless, eager to return to the Moonshine Pack’s territory and rebuild what we’d lost. But there was something else simmering beneath their surface: doubt. The mate bond’s dissolution had left a void, one that no amount of speeches or alliances cou

Chapter 197: Whispers of Tomorrow Aria's POV The sun had fully risen by the time I returned to the main camp. The celebration from the night before had left the field littered with remnants of shared meals and extinguished fires. Wolves were already moving about, cleaning and preparing to return to their packs. Yet, despite the bustle, an air of unease lingered, as if the earth itself remembered the tremors I’d felt in the forest. I brushed off my sleepless night as I moved through the camp, nodding to warriors and pack leaders. Their gratitude warmed me, but it was clear that the weight of leadership—and of what came next—was not solely mine to bear. “Aria.” I turned at the sound of my name. Darius stood a few feet away, his gaze steady. He was dressed simply, but the way he carried himself spoke volumes of the warrior he was. He gestured toward the forest. “Walk with me?” I hesitated, glancing at the chaos of the camp. But the look in his eyes was sincere, not demanding. “Alrig

Chapter 196: The Weight of Victory Aria’s POV The night sky was alight with celebration. Bonfires crackled and danced, illuminating the open field where wolves from every pack gathered, their voices raised in song and laughter. Victory had united them, if only temporarily, and for the first time in what felt like forever, hope seemed within reach. I should have been happy. I should have been standing among them, sharing in their joy. Instead, I found myself on the outskirts of the gathering, leaning against a gnarled tree as the noise of the celebration faded into the background. The relics were destroyed, and the rogue faction was defeated. Yet the voice from the temple—the cryptic warnings of the “shattered moon”—lingered in my mind like a dark cloud. “Why aren’t you celebrating?” Selena’s voice broke through my thoughts. I turned to see her approaching, her dark hair glowing softly in the firelight. She carried a plate of food in one hand and a goblet in the other. “I could a

Chapter 195: Breaking the Chains Aria’s POV The night was unnervingly quiet, a stillness that felt heavy, foreboding. It was the kind of silence that carried the weight of something unseen, a predator’s pause before the pounce. I stood on the ridge overlooking the rogue faction’s encampment, my heart steady, my purpose clear. Beside me, Killian and Darius waited, their expressions a mix of tension and resolve. It wasn’t the first time we had stood side by side against a common enemy, but this time felt different. This wasn’t just a battle for survival—it was a battle for the future. “I’ll go in alone,” I said, my voice firm. Killian’s brow furrowed. “Aria, that’s reckless. You don’t even know how strong their defenses are.” “That’s exactly why I have to go,” I countered. “This isn’t just about brute force. It’s about dismantling the very thing that gives them power. And I’m the only one who can do that.” Darius stepped closer, his piercing gaze locking onto mine. “We’re stronger

Chapter 194: The Serpent’s Shadow Veyron’s POV Darkness. It had been my companion long before I embraced its power, and now, even in death, it clung to me like an eternal cloak. This wasn’t oblivion—I had escaped that fate by sheer will and cunning. No, I existed in the in-between, where shadows whispered and time bent like warped glass. The rogue leader knelt before me, his head bowed low, his body trembling with the weight of my presence. His name was Silas, a name that once held no meaning. But now, he was my tool, a carefully placed pawn in the grand design. “You’ve failed,” I said, my voice cold and echoing, a sharp blade cutting through the still air. Silas flinched but did not dare look up. “The packs were stronger than expected, my lord. Aria—she—” I slammed my hand onto the obsidian table before me, the ripple of power making the shadows dance around the room. “Do not speak her name so lightly. She may be the key, but she is not your concern. Your concern is doing what I

Chapter 193: Bonds Forged in Fire Darius's POV The battlefield was chaos. Screams of rage and pain tore through the air, mingling with the clash of steel and the snarls of wolves in their primal form. Blood slicked the earth beneath my boots, and the coppery scent of it burned my nostrils. But amidst the carnage, my focus was unshakable: Aria. She stood at the center of it all, a beacon of strength and defiance. Her golden blade caught the light of the setting sun, each swing carving a path through the shadowed beasts that Silas had unleashed. She fought like she had been born for this moment, her movements fluid and unrelenting. Killian was to her left, his powerful frame a blur as he shifted between his wolf and human forms, tearing through the rogue forces. His fighting style was brutal but precise, a testament to years of training and instinct. And I was at her right, guarding her flank, ensuring no threat got close enough to harm her. We didn’t need words to coordinate; every

Chapter 192: The Rising Flame Aria's POV The shadows pressed in from all sides, their cold tendrils coiling around me like a living vice. Silas's laughter echoed through the darkness, a haunting melody of triumph. For a fleeting moment, doubt crept into my heart. Was this it? Was I truly out of my depth? But then, a warmth began to stir within me, faint but steady. It was the same energy I had felt in the ancient temple—the power that had surged through me when the mate bond system broke. The Moon Goddess’s rival might have sought to manipulate that moment, but the strength that pulsed in my veins now was entirely my own. I closed my eyes, blocking out Silas’s voice and the suffocating weight of the darkness. Instead, I focused inward, drawing on the fire that burned in my core. It grew hotter and brighter until it was no longer something I controlled but something I unleashed. With a cry, I released the energy, and the shadows around me exploded into shards of light. I fell to on
