Chapter 62

Sofia’s POVThe room was quiet, save for the faint rustle of the curtains as the evening breeze slipped through the cracked window. I stared at the spot where Alaric had sat just moments ago, his words still ringing in my ears.A legend. The Eclipse Wolves.Me.I didn’t know what to feel. Part of me wanted to laugh, to brush it off as some ridiculous fairy tale that had nothing to do with me. But the intensity in Alaric’s voice, the way his eyes had searched mine for understanding—it was hard to ignore.I wasn’t ready for this.Everything about this world still felt foreign to me. Wolves, curses, packs—just a few weeks ago, none of this had been real. My life had been ordinary, predictable even, until that night when everything changed. When I changed. And now, I was supposed to be… what? A savior? A protector of balance? I could barely keep myself together, and they expected me to be part of a legend?I ran my hands through my hair, tugging slightly at the roots in frustration. “This

Chapter 63

Alaric's POVThe first rays of dawn slipped through the curtains of my office, casting a golden hue over the scattered documents and maps on my desk. I’d barely slept, my mind restless after the conversation with Sofia the night before. Her words, her fear, her vulnerability—they all lingered like a shadow I couldn’t shake.I had expected her to feel overwhelmed. Hell, I’d felt the same way when Lyra and Zora first told me about the legend. But seeing Sofia struggle to reconcile who she thought she was with who she might become… that had hit me harder than I’d expected.She didn’t see it yet, but Sofia was strong. Stronger than she gave herself credit for. I’d seen it in the way she fought through her first shift, in the resilience she showed every day as she adjusted to this new reality. But this was different. This wasn’t just about survival anymore.This was destiny.A knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts, and I straightened in my chair. “Come in.”Braylon stepped inside, h

Chapter 64

Elara’s POVI don’t know when exactly the man I once knew became someone else entirely. Maybe it happened slowly, like a sickness that creeps in unnoticed, or maybe it was sudden—a break in his mind that no one saw coming. But there’s no denying it now. Thorne has changed. I don’t know if it’s the years of war, the loss of power, or the betrayal that shattered him, but the man who once held me in his arms, promising us a life together… he’s gone.Now, he’s consumed by something darker. Revenge. It’s all he thinks about. The way he speaks of it, the fire in his eyes when he mentions Sofia or the pack, it's almost as if nothing else matters. I watch him, standing there, pacing in the dark corners of our hidden fortress, plotting. His obsession with her—the woman he once claimed to be our enemy’s savior, and now our greatest threat—has taken hold of him completely. He mutters her name in his sleep sometimes, in that broken tone that still shatters me.I should be angry. After all, it was

Chapter 65

SOFIA'S POVThe day had barely begun, yet I already felt the weight of it pressing down on me. I hadn’t slept well. Not really. Even after training with Lyra, the fatigue seemed to cling to me like a second skin. My mind felt like a tangled mess of thoughts—some scattered, some persistent, and some that I didn’t even understand. But through it all, one thought kept echoing in my mind: What if I’m not enough?That question had been haunting me for days, maybe weeks now. But last night, after talking with Alaric, it had become louder. What if I couldn’t live up to the legend? What if I wasn’t the person they thought I was supposed to be?I rubbed my temples as I made my way down the stone steps from the pack house. The morning air was cool, but it didn’t do much to ease the tension in my chest. I could feel it there, gnawing at me—the weight of expectations, of a future I wasn’t sure I was ready for. Not just for me, but for the entire pack. For Alaric. Everyone seemed to believe in me,

Chapter 66

Alaric’s POVThe days had been blurring together, each one more difficult than the last. Between the constant patrols, the mounting tension with Thorne, and the relentless demands of the pack, it felt like there was no escape. And the hardest part wasn’t even the physical exhaustion. It was Sofia. My mate. The weight of everything she was dealing with—the burden of the legend, the power she hadn’t yet learned to control, the fear that clung to her every time we spoke of the future—was tearing her apart in ways I couldn’t fix.I had watched her since she first arrived, watched as she learned to shift, to fight, to navigate the complicated world of wolves. But nothing had prepared me for how fragile she was beneath the surface. The strength she showed in training, the resilience she displayed when facing challenges, was only half of the story. The other half—the one that weighed her down—was a constant struggle to figure out who she was, who she was meant to be.And every time I saw her

Chapter 67

Sofia's POVThe drive to the lake house felt surreal, like a dream I wasn’t entirely sure I was living. The landscape outside the car window blurred into a haze of trees and rolling hills, the world unfolding in shades of green and gold as we left the pack house behind. The familiar sense of dread that often clung to me seemed to lift the farther we went, as if the distance was enough to separate me from everything I was running from.Alaric was beside me, his presence a quiet comfort, but there was a restlessness in the air, something unspoken between us that made the silence feel heavier than usual. He had been insistent on this weekend, on giving me a break, and I couldn’t bring myself to argue. I knew he was right, that I needed it, but a part of me still felt like I was abandoning the pack, abandoning my responsibilities. It was a constant battle in my mind, the voice telling me I needed to be strong, that I couldn’t afford to let my guard down, to let go.But Alaric’s presence b

Chapter 68

Alaric's POVThe sun hung low in the sky, casting a soft, golden light across the lake, the water rippling gently as a light breeze whispered through the trees. The world around us felt alive, vibrant, and untouched, as if time itself had slowed to a gentle crawl. This place, this lake house, was a sanctuary, a rare haven away from everything, and today, it felt more like home than it ever had.Sofia was beside me, her steps light, her presence a calming anchor as we walked down the familiar path toward the edge of the water. Her white hair shimmered in the sunlight, catching the light like silver threads, her eyes soft but contemplative as she took in the beauty around us."I can't believe how much I missed this place," she said softly, her voice carrying the weight of the memories that had been tied to this spot. "It feels different this time, though. Like... like I'm seeing it for the first time."I smiled at her words, my heart swelling with a quiet sense of relief. It had been my

Chapter 69

Sofia's POVThe warmth of Alaric’s lips lingered on mine, his touch a heady mix of comfort and desire. Everything about this place, this moment, felt like it belonged to another world—one where there were no looming threats, no ancient legends, no impossible expectations pressing down on my shoulders. It was just us, here and now, with nothing between us but the cool evening air.When I opened my eyes, his gaze was already locked on mine, amber depths filled with something raw and unspoken. His hand brushed along my jawline, a soft, deliberate touch that sent a shiver down my spine.“Are you okay?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper, though I could feel the weight of the question in every word.I nodded, the answer coming easily because, for the first time in what felt like forever, I truly was. “Yes,” I said, my voice steady, though my heart raced in my chest. “I’m more than okay.”Alaric smiled, a slow, knowing curve of his lips that made my breath hitch. He leaned in again,

Chapter 70

Sofia's povThe morning light filtered through the curtains of the lake house, casting a warm glow on the wooden floorboards. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling as the memories of last night replayed in my mind. My skin still tingled from Alaric’s touch, my heart pounding at the thought of how completely he’d made me feel seen, cherished, and whole.But beneath the warmth of our intimacy was a lingering sense of unease. It wasn’t Alaric’s fault. If anything, he was the only person who made me feel like I could breathe through the storm. Still, the weight of everything—the legend, the pack’s expectations, the growing danger of Thorne—pressed heavily on my chest.I sat up slowly, pulling the soft blanket around me as I looked out the window. The lake shimmered in the morning sun, its surface calm and inviting. For a brief moment, it felt like the rest of the world didn’t exist, like this place was separate from the chaos waiting for us back home.The door creaked open, and I turned to

Chapter 71

Sofia's POVThe sunlight streaming through the windows was soft and golden as I stretched out on the couch, a cup of tea in my hands. Alaric had insisted I take the morning for myself, saying he needed to handle something outside, though he didn’t elaborate. I had tried to protest, but the way he’d kissed my forehead and told me to relax left little room for argument.The lake house was quiet, save for the gentle rustle of leaves outside and the distant chirping of birds. It was the kind of peace I hadn’t known I needed. For once, there were no training drills, no meetings, no one hovering around me, waiting for me to live up to some expectation I didn’t fully understand.But as much as I wanted to enjoy this calm, my mind refused to stay still.I kept thinking about the pack, about the responsibilities waiting for me back home. Every time I thought I was beginning to grasp the weight of it all, something new would come along to remind me how much I still didn’t know. The legend, the
