Chapter 89: Fiona's POVHaving just completed a lengthy training session, my physique sore from the rampant movement and razor focus needed to stay ahead of Orin’s schemes. Days had passed since I heard the news of Olivia’s death, but the anger still burned within me. I couldn’t erase the image of her body, lifeless at the hands of Orin’s guards. And now, as I stood there in the clearing, cleared mind, refocused, I knew this was what I needed to do.But I wasn't alone for long.I had my people with me.., my support. As I passed through the trees, my thoughts occupied only by strategies, by what manners of strikes I might level against Orin, I heard footsteps behind me—deliberate, heavy, familiar. I didn’t need to look back to know who it was. Jason had arrived.“Fiona,” his voice came, soft, but the urgency of it dreaded him.I had turned and met his gaze with a recognition formed through time and battle. There was something in his eyes — something hard and determined. And I knew ri

Chapter 90: Jason's POVThe forest did not feel as it used to. It wasn’t the serene haven I had grown accustomed to, the one I had learned to trust and feel at home in. Now there was something wrong, a stillness to the trees, as though the trees were waiting, holding their breath, for something horrible to happen. It had an edge, there was a tension in the air that raised the hairs on the back of my neck. The silence was different — felt heavy, like the peace before a storm. Olivia’s attack by Orin had changed everything. What had been a glimmer of hope, that we could know peace, had in a second been extinguished. The dream we had held was broken, and all that remained was the cold, hard reality of what we faced.Olivia had just told Fiona about Olivia. The words had poured out in a rush, my voice trembling as I described a loss that plunged deeper than anything I’d ever experienced. Olivia had been our angel, the one who believed in peace, who had held us up fighting. With her depart

Chapter 91: Jason’s POVThere was a wide smell of conflict in the air, and I could feel the burden of the journey before us settling into my bones deep into my cires . We’d made our plans, had had our little declarations of resolve, but now it was time to do. Now I would lead a force against Orin’s hideout, the very epicenter of the rebellion that had festered in the dark for far too long, with Fiona and Maeve at my side.The information had come from one of Orin’s own—his traitor. It had been a gamble, but it had paid off. One member of Orin’s group, upset with how Orin repaid trust from his own people, had contacted us. He told us enough to know where to find Orin’s hideout, hidden away in a thick, dangerous part of the forest, away from the prying eyes of surrounding kingdoms.With the traitor’s information, we would have a small window to strike, before Orin could marshal his forces. But that window wouldn’t remain open for long. If we wavered, even for an instant, Orin would be w

Chapter 92: Jason’s POVAs we neared Orin's lair, it felt like the air thickened around us. The forest was wild and thick, almost alive with anticipation, holding its breath, waiting for something. Every snap of a twig, every rustle of leaves ignited my nerves, and my skin prickled as if the earth beneath our feet was studying us, listening. We all knew this was not going to be easy. Orin had anticipated something of this order. He’d fortified his bunker, and his guards — they were the best of the worst. They were not simply guards; they were hunters.Fiona walked next to me, her expression the kind of unreadable mask of calm that might be carved into granite, but I could feel the tension in her, just below the surface. Maeve, in contrast, moved like a shadow — ever watchful, ever prepared. Her hand lay so lightly on her sword that it might not have been there. Fiona’s rogue followers flanked us behind, faces set in hard lines, jaws fixed tight. They weren’t here just for Olivia, for

Chapter 93: Fiona’s POVIn an instant, the courtyard rippled into a fray, our troops, and Orin’s, colliding in a head-on assault. Growls and snarls and the clash of steel on steel filled the air. Jason and I led the way, our wolves barreling forward with all the raw power they could produce. With each footfall the ground beneath our feet shook as if the very elements themselves could sense the heaviness of all that was occurring. The roar of our wolves mingled with the howls of our enemies, a savage, symphonic thunder that seemed to rattle the skies.The rogues that I trained cast their blows with the kind of brutal accuracy that only years of preparation could create. Their claws and teeth tore into Orin’s forces without mercy. There was no mercy in their movements, no question. They had all been forged for this moment, and they knew their mission so well they were executing it with an intensity that made my heart race.At my side, Jason transformed into his wolf, his massive body ri

Chapter 94: Jason’s POVThe cold steel came clashing, I could only smell the wide spread odor of metallic blades mixed with blood and sweat. "Everyone was trying to scale through alive from this battle." But if orin should scale through this time around, the human race will surely be wiped. So I had to make my moves. My whirlwind of thoughts was disrupted by a sword. “Stay close!” I called, my words scarcely rising above the ruckus surrounding us.Fiona didn’t look at me, didn’t respond, but I could feel her presence next to me, solid. She flowed as though she were one with the storm itself, each hit, each movement imbued with a feral resolve I had never imagined before. The power in her felt like it was swelling, rushing through her like an unquenchable river, and in that moment I understood — she was fighting like she had nothing left to lose. Her silver fur shone in the dim light, a flash of hope in the all-consuming darkness, and for a moment, I wondered if we could really pull

Chapter 95: Jason’s POVThe drive back to Fiona’s abode in the woods was an amalgamation of pride and tiredness. Battle hung in the air—the smell of blood, and sweat, and that peculiar, oppressive weight given off when Orin was dying. We’d won, sure, but the triumph didn’t taste as sweet as it ought to have. And I felt Fiona’s watching me as I approached her base a little each time, a silent reminder of all we’d done to get here. We were alive, which thing was something, but that wasn’t without its costs.But that wasn’t the only thing on my mind. When the trees closed in around us, the forest seemed to grow darker still, more quiet. I thought of Lena, of course. Her smile, her laugh, the way she embraced me as I left. Even now, I could feel her warmth. It was home, and now, with all that had happened, it was all I could think about. I’d told her I’d set things right, that I would avenge Olivia’s death. And now I had. So what would that mean for us? Was she going to feel relief, or w

Chapter 96: Fiona’s POVThe sounds of celebration still ringing in his ears, howls of victory heaving on the wind, rustling the leaves in the trees. But inside me, it was quiet. The battle was won, Orin was dead and my people were safe — at least for now. But with the adrenaline faded, something else settled in. Of a kind of emptiness I was not used to feeling.I looked around, surveying the others, the faces of my warriors still alight with the excitement of the moment. Yet something in me was absent, something that had long been present. I couldn’t quite place it. Maybe it was the burden of it all — the fighting, the responsibility, or the knowledge that this victory didn’t come without its cost.Jason was standing slightly off to one side, away from the crowd. I saw his back and the tension in his shoulders, the weight of the battle not just upon him. I could sense that he wasn’t really there anymore, not the way he used to be. Lena was on his mind, which, fair. She was everything

Chapter 97: Lena’s POVThe door was opened by a loud bang. I quickly stood up knowing it was Jason. I hugged him tight and never wanted to leave him ."You kept us safe.” I said unknowingly. He smiled small at me, pushing a loose piece of hair from my face. “We didn’t,” he corrected gently, his voice soft, as if he was trying to help me shoulder all of this. “This was for you. For us. For everyone we care about.”I brought him to the table, where I had laid out a meal. It wasn’t anything grand, just something simple, but it was the best greeting I could afford to him to express how much I’d missed him, how much I was grateful he was back. We sat down, and I found myself staring at him, drinking in the familiar features I’d missed — the way his jaw tensed when he was deep in thought, the way his hair fell across his forehead, the scars that decorated his skin, each a testament to all he’d endured.“You’re staring,” he said with that cocky smirk of his, and yet I could see the warmth

Chapter 98: Ethan's POVHarsh rays of light poured into the Ashford estate from the surrounding forest, bright gold over the black-polished wooden floors. The house pulsed with life under the light, yet still in its stillness.Mother’s hands didn’t shake as she poured tea into the fragile porcelain cups, the tiny clink of the teapot bringing me into the now. Her silvery hair reflected the sun, making it almost diaphanous. She raised her head, her mouth folding into a proud, knowing smile. “I told you we would win,” she said quietly, her voice conveying that unbendable, impossible, only-she-can-lay-hands-on kind of belief. “They were unstoppable, Jason and Fiona … Jason and Fiona. Together, they had what they needed to take down Orin.”Father leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, and a rare light of relief softened his typically stern features. “Jason has more than earned his place as a leader,” he said, his voice low but strong, like a man proud but too wary to celebrate just yet. “
