Alaric's povThe energy Sofia unleashed still hummed in the air, a faint vibration that seemed to linger even after she had settled back into my arms. It was powerful, raw, and breathtaking—but more than that, it was hers.For a moment, I didn’t say anything, just held her close, letting her steady herself. I knew what she was feeling because I could feel it too. Through our bond, I’d caught a glimpse of her fear, her doubt, but also her strength.She was extraordinary, even if she didn’t fully believe it yet.“Let’s head back,” I said softly, pressing a kiss to her hair.Sofia pulled back slightly, her eyes searching mine. “Are you mad?”The question caught me off guard. “Mad?”She nodded, biting her lip. “For not telling you about the dream sooner. For holding back in training. For—”I stopped her with a hand on her cheek, shaking my head. “Sofia, I’m not mad. I wish you’d trusted me sooner, yes, but I understand why you didn’t. You’ve been carrying so much, trying to figure it out

Chapter 83

Sofia’s POVThe training grounds were quiet, save for the distant rustle of leaves in the early morning breeze. I stood in the center of the field, my hands still tingling faintly from yesterday’s surge of power.I hadn’t slept much last night. The intensity of what had happened during sparring with Alaric—and the pride in his eyes when he told me, “There she is”—stayed with me. For the first time in a long while, I felt something stir inside me: hope.The dream of Elara, though, refused to leave me alone. Her cryptic words, the weight of her warning about Thorne, circled my thoughts like vultures. Even after I’d shared it with Alaric, the unease lingered.“You’re up early again.”I turned to see Alaric walking toward me. His hair was slightly tousled, his shirt hanging loosely on him, as though he hadn’t bothered to fully wake up before coming outside. His silver-gray eyes were softer than usual, but there was an undercurrent of worry in his expression.“You’re one to talk,” I repli

Chapter 84

Thorne’s POVI stood in the dim light of my study, the fire crackling softly in the hearth. My mind, however, was far from calm. I had been waiting, waiting for a sign, for something that would give me the upper hand. And then, Marcus came to me.I could tell something was off from the moment he entered. His face was pale, almost grim, as he approached with the sort of news I hadn’t been expecting. I had sent him to observe, to gather intel, but what he was about to say would change everything.“I saw them,” Marcus said, his voice tight.I arched an eyebrow, motioning for him to continue. “Saw who?”“Alaric and Sofia,” he said, a slight hesitation in his voice. “They were sparring.”I narrowed my eyes, suspicion creeping in. “Sparring? What’s so important about that?”“It wasn’t just sparring, Thorne,” Marcus said, his tone lowering as if he was unsure of how to explain what he had witnessed. “There was something about Sofia... She’s different. Her power—it’s growing.”My pulse quicke

Chapter 85

Sofia's POVThe news came quickly—too quickly, really. The pack had been expecting trouble, but nothing had prepared us for the sudden attack near the border. It was more than just a skirmish. Thorne wasn’t just testing our defenses; he was making a statement.I could feel the weight of it in the air. The pressure, the urgency. There was no time to waste.Alaric’s face was set in hard lines, his mind already working through the logistics, calculating every possible move. His usual calm was gone, replaced by the same steely resolve I had come to expect from him. It was a side of him I had seen before, the leader—the protector—but I knew this was different. This was personal."We have to move out now," he said, his voice firm. "Stay close, Sofia. I don't want you on the frontlines, not with how volatile your powers are right now."I didn’t argue. As much as I hated the thought of being left behind, I understood. My power was unpredictable, and Alaric had seen how easily it could spiral

Chapter 86

Alaric's povThe battlefield was chaos, but for a brief moment, time seemed to slow. Sofia stood there, breathless, her body still crackling with the residual energy of the explosion. Her eyes were wide, scanning the surroundings as if she were still processing what had just happened.I couldn’t tear my eyes away from her. I had seen warriors use their strength in battle before, but this—it was unlike anything I had ever witnessed. The sheer force of it was devastating, and yet, there was something deeply beautiful in the way she had controlled it.I moved toward her, fending off any enemies that dared to get too close. I needed to be by her side, make sure she was okay. I had no idea what this meant for her, for us, but one thing was clear: the fight had just escalated. Thorne wasn’t going to sit back and let this go. He would retaliate, and we had to be ready."Sofia," I called out, my voice rising above the sounds of battle. "Stay close to me. We need to keep moving."She nodded, h

Chapter 87

Sofia's povThe days after the battle passed in a blur of pain and reflection. My body ached, a constant reminder of my first real fight. The gash along my side stung despite Zora’s skilled healing, and the bruises covering my arms and legs seemed to throb with every breath. But the physical pain was nothing compared to the turmoil in my mind.I lay on the cot in the infirmary, staring at the ceiling as the sounds of the pack drifted through the open windows. Warriors barked orders. Children played nearby, their laughter almost too bright for a world so dark. Life went on, even after blood had been spilled.“Lost in thought again?” Lyra’s voice cut through the quiet.I turned to see her standing in the doorway, her arms crossed and a small smirk tugging at her lips. She stepped inside, pulling up a chair beside me.“Something like that,” I admitted. “I keep replaying everything in my head—every move I made, every mistake. I thought I was ready. I wasn’t.”Lyra leaned back, her express

Chapter 88

Thorne’s POVThe air in the underground cavern was damp, filled with the scent of earth, stone, and the faint metallic tang of blood. It was eerily quiet except for the faint crackling of the torches lining the jagged walls. I paced the chamber, my boots scuffing the uneven stone floor, the echoes of my steps magnifying my agitation.Another failure.Yes, my forces had claimed a victory at the borders, inflicting wounds and leaving a mark on Alaric’s precious pack, but it wasn’t enough. The reports from the field haunted me, the words spoken by my warriors playing on a loop in my mind: She unleashed something we couldn’t counter, Alpha.Sofia.That name was a thorn in my side, pricking deeper with each passing day. Her power wasn’t natural—it wasn’t merely the strength of a Luna or the ferocity of a young wolf learning to lead. No, it was something primal, ancient. And if I didn’t stop her soon, it would become unstoppable.“Elric!” I barked, my voice cutting through the oppressive s

Chapter 89

Sofia’s POVThe sunlight streaming through the window was the first thing I noticed when I woke. It danced across the floor in golden patterns, and for the first time in what felt like weeks, I didn’t feel overwhelmed by darkness. My body still ached, the wound on my side a sharp reminder of the battle, but it was healing. Everything was healing.I swung my legs over the edge of the bed, testing my strength. Each step toward the mirror felt like a small victory. When I finally looked at my reflection, I saw someone I barely recognized—tired eyes, bruises fading across my cheek, but there was something else. A spark.The door creaked open, and Lyra stepped in, her arms crossed and a knowing smirk on her face. “You’re up earlier than I expected. Figured I’d have to drag you out of bed today.”I rolled my eyes, the corner of my lips twitching upward. “Nice to see you too, Lyra.”Her gaze softened as she took a step closer. “How are you feeling?”“Better,” I admitted. “Stronger.”“Good,” s

Chapter 90

Alaric’s POVThe wind carried the scent of frost as I stood at the northern border of our territory, my eyes scanning the dense forest ahead. Somewhere out there, Thorne and his rogues were planning their next move, and the uneasy stillness of the woods told me it wouldn’t be long before they struck again.“Alpha.” Braylon’s voice broke my concentration, and I turned to see him approaching with Zora by his side. The tension etched into their faces mirrored my own.“Report,” I said, keeping my tone steady.“We’ve confirmed increased rogue activity near the east perimeter,” Braylon began, his brows furrowing. “Scouts found traces of a large group moving through the area. Tracks suggest they’re heavily armed.”Zora crossed her arms, her golden eyes sharp. “They’re testing our defenses, looking for weak points. It’s only a matter of time before they make their next move.”My jaw tightened. Thorne wasn’t just a threat; he was a predator circling his prey, waiting for the perfect moment to

Chapter 91

Sofia’s POVThe moon hung heavy in the sky, its pale light filtering through the trees around the training grounds. The air was thick with tension—there was no denying it anymore. The time for waiting was over. War was coming, and the pack could feel it in their bones.I stood with my arms crossed over my chest, my eyes scanning the surroundings, searching for the slightest hint of a threat. My senses were heightened now, more attuned than ever, but there was still that underlying feeling of dread that gnawed at me. Each passing day brought new reports of rogue activities along the borders, attacks on smaller outposts, and whispers of a larger assault looming on the horizon. Thorne wasn’t just coming; he was closing in, and with every step, his forces grew stronger."You're tense," Lyra's voice broke through my thoughts, and I turned to see her approaching, her eyes filled with concern.I offered a small smile, though it didn’t reach my eyes. "I’m fine. Just... ready."She gave me a
