Chapter 61: Threads of RebirthAria’s POVAs I carefully opened the old book I had taken from the renegade leader's hideout, the moon shone silvery over the clearing, high above the forest canopy. Under my fingers, the pages crumpled like withered leaves, their surface speckled with mysterious markings and runes. After weeks of collecting enough tidbits of knowledge to even find this book, I was finally holding it.I felt deep down that these frail pages held the answers I was looking for. Responses to the torrent of turmoil that followed me everywhere, my rebirth, and my broken connections.Beside me, I lighted a solitary candle, and the woodland floor was covered with shadows from its flickering light. As I read aloud, assembling the pieces of an old ritual that had cost me my first life, each rune appeared to pulse with a spooky intensity.---A shiver ran down my spine as I spoke, and I could feel the weight of invisible eyes observing me. I resisted the temptation to glance aroun

Chapter 63: Fractured LoyaltiesKillian’s POVBlood and despair filled the battlefield. As rogues flooded in from all sides, the commotion was illuminated by the moonlight spilling over the clearing. My wolves battled bravely, their cries piercing the clamor of snarls and crashing metal. However, the sheer magnitude of our adversaries threatened to overpower us despite their might.And there he was—Darius—in the middle of the mayhem.His presence irritated me like salt on a wound, yet his wolves battled with mine. His authority over his soldiers was as keen as the sword in his hand, and he moved with ferocity and accuracy. I detested him because he fought like a guy who had something to prove."Killian!" Through the confusion, Aria's voice came to me like a lighthouse in a storm.A rogue was lunging for her when I turned in time. In an instant, I was able to bridge the gap as my wolf charged forward and took charge. Before the rogue could get to her, my claws ripped through its chest,

Chapter 65: A Cure for the Unbreakable BondKillian’s POVLong shadows were thrown over the library's infinite book rows by the dim brightness of the moonlight that poured through the tall windows. The smell of aging parchment filled the air as I sat at a huge oak table surrounded by old books and scrolls. Hours of reading had burnt my eyes, but I couldn't stop now, not with Aria's life on the line.Each word whispered tales of dark magic, cursed ties, and forbidden rites on these fragile pages. I was resolved to untangle the knot created by Veyron's twisting of the Moon Goddess' blessing into a sword. I just didn't anticipate that the solution would be hidden in a centuries-old language that only a select few in the pack could understand."Killian." I was startled when Lucas's voice pierced the stillness. His typical haughtiness was balanced by genuine worry as he came into the room. "You spent the whole night here. You must get some rest."I need answers," I shot back without raisi

Chapter 67: Shadows of the PastAria POVThe oppressive weight of the morning air hovered over the Moonshine Pack's area like a terrible portent. My intuition warned of danger even if the skies were clear. There was a noticeable feeling of tension in the air, as if the pack itself understood that something terrible was about to happen.Hours have passed since Selena vanished.With my wolf restless and my nerves raw, I paced the pack house's perimeter. With my hands clinched at my sides, I whispered, "She wouldn't just disappear."The surrounding forests had previously been thoroughly searched by Killian's troops, who returned empty-handed. With his arms folded and his golden gaze searching the horizon, Darius stood close by. Even though he seemed composed, I could sense the underlying rage.With a harsh voice, Darius said, "She's not in the territory.""How are you aware of that?" I exploded back, my anger exploding.His tone was steady, but his jaw muscles tensed as he said, "Because

Chapter 69: Shadows of TruthDarius POVThe rain from the storm hadn’t stopped, though it had softened into a relentless drizzle. The air was cold, damp with the weight of the battles fought and the secrets yet to be revealed. My body ached from the earlier clash with Veyron’s rogues, but none of it compared to the heaviness pressing on my chest.Aria stood at the edge of the clearing, her back to me as she stared into the mist-shrouded forest. Even from a distance, I could feel the tension radiating off her. She hadn’t said a word since we’d returned to the pack house hours ago.She deserved the truth.It wasn’t just her anger I feared—it was the look in her eyes when she finally knew everything. The bond we shared was fragile, its threads fraying with every new revelation. But this… This might destroy it entirely.I approached slowly, the crunch of wet leaves underfoot announcing my presence.“Aria,” I began, my voice quieter than I intended.She didn’t turn.“You’ve been avoiding m
