Chapter 668 Chapter 667: The Ones Who Deserve The Apology Selene didn’t answer immediately. The room remained still in that strange way it had been since she arrived, as though even the air had learned to hold itself differently in her presence. The candle still burned without flicker. The snow
Chapter 667 Chapter 666: The Weight of a Goddess Selene’s gaze didn’t shift immediately. She simply stood there, as if the weight of his words had landed somewhere expected rather than surprising. There was no flinch, no visible reaction that suggested offence or disruption. Only that quiet stillness she always
Chapter 666 Chapter 665: When the Moon Walked In Orion didn’t remember when sleep finally claimed him. It hadn’t felt intentional, not the way he usually let himself drift into rest when the world outside the pack was quiet enough to trust. This had been different, heavier in a way
Chapter 665 Chapter 664: The Rest She Needed The quiet didn’t feel as heavy anymore. Not after everything that had been said. Not after everything that had finally begun to make sense, even if that understanding came with more questions than answers. Sophia sat where she was, her gaze still
Chapter 664 Chapter 663: Their Role In This Orion didn’t speak. But his silence wasn’t empty. He was thinking and piecing things together. Sophia held his gaze, and then finally, Orion spoke quietly. “Was Noctis in that book p> Sophia nodded. “Yes. And… he wasn’t bound to you at first,
Chapter 663 Chapter 662: The Truth He Couldn’t Ignore The room didn’t empty all at once. It happened gradually, like the tension that had filled it before was loosening in quiet layers, easing into something softer now that words had been said and understood. Tobias was the first to move.
Chapter 662 Chapter 661: The Fight They Chose The words lingered in the air, and then Orion spoke. “I am,” he said calmly. Ronan let out a short breath at that, something close to a chuckle slipping through. “Well,” he said, gesturing lightly toward Orion, “there you have it p>
Chapter 661 Chapter 660: The Fate She Broke Sophia didn’t speak immediately after that. For a moment, she just sat there, her hands resting in her lap, her fingers loosely intertwined as if holding onto something fragile that she wasn’t entirely sure how to let go of. The room stayed
Chapter 660 Chapter 659: The Name That Carried Weight The silence that followed her words didn’t feel heavy. Not like before. It settled differently now, quieter, steadier, like something had shifted between them without needing to be said out loud. Sophia’s hands still rested in her lap, her fingers no
Chapter 659 Chapter 658: The Truth They Chose to Hold The room felt warmer than outside. Not just because of the fire burning low in the corner or the closed windows that kept the cold from slipping in, but because it was full. Full of presence. Full of people who
Chapter 658 Chapter 657: The Place She Could Return To They didn’t move immediately after that. The moment lingered between them, quiet and fragile, like stepping away from it too quickly would undo something they had just managed to hold together. Sophia stayed where she was, still close to him,
Chapter 657 Chapter 656: The Promise He Refused to Break Orion didn’t respond immediately, but he didn’t hesitate either. He pulled her into his arms again, firm and certain, like there was no space for distance between them after that. “You have me,” he said quietly. His voice wasn’t loud,
Chapter 656 Chapter 655: The Sky That Stayed The words had taken something out of Sophia, leaving her quieter than before, like whatever strength she had used to bring them out had finally run dry. Her hands rested loosely in her lap, her shoulders slightly slumped, her gaze unfocused as
Chapter 655 Chapter 654: The Burden Beneath Memory Time passed, but neither of them measured it properly. Maybe seconds, maybe longer. It didn’t matter because Orion didn’t let her go. Sophia stayed pressed against him, her face buried in his chest as the last of her sobs slowly drained out
Chapter 654 Chapter 653: What Remains When Everything Breaks Orion didn’t look away from her. He simply nodded once, slowly, as if the words had already settled inside him before she even finished speaking. Sophia stared at him, her chest tightening painfully as she tried to understand why he wasn’t
Chapter 653 Chapter 652: What Breaks in the Silence Orion didn’t hesitate. The moment the first sob broke from her, he closed the distance between them and pulled her into his arms, one hand coming up to cradle the back of her head as he drew her against his chest.
Chapter 652 Chapter 651: Where the Past Waits Lysander moved the moment Sophia stepped away from the bed. “Sophia,” he called, closing the distance quickly as his hand hovered just short of her arm, as though unsure whether to stop her or simply make sure she didn’t fall. “Where are
Chapter 651 Chapter 650: The Quiet Between Heartbeats Evening had settled fully by the time anything changed in the room. The light outside had already softened into that dull gold-blue blend that came just before night, where everything felt slightly distant, as if the world itself was holding its breath.
Chapter 650 Chapter 649: The Last Gift Before Waking Selene’s gaze lingered on Sophia for a moment longer after her last words. Then something in her expression shifted—subtle, but enough to change the air between them. “Surely you remember what you read in the book?” she asked quietly. At first,
Chapter 649 Chapter 648: The Shape of What Should Have Been Selene did not answer immediately. For a moment, she only watched Sophia, her gaze steady and unreadable, as though she were weighing something far beyond the question itself. Then she spoke. “Dolion once told me something,” she said quietly.
