Chapter 432 Chapter 431: When Worry Becomes a Crowd I Some Minutes Before Lysander’s eyes widened. For a heartbeat, the words did not register properly. Caspian inclined his head in agreement.

Chapter 431 Chapter 430: The Price of a Beating Heart some while ago The moment Lysander finally drew his hands away from Tarin’s hand, the world seemed to exhale with him. Sweat streamed down his temples, soaking into the collar of his tunic, his fingers trembling faintly from the sustained
Chapter 430 Chapter 429: The Name That Broke the Silence Jarek’s voice trembled as the truth finally spilled out of him. “The black market is gone,” he said hoarsely. Ronan stilled.

Chapter 429 Chapter 428: The Aftermath of Fire and Fear The clearing was heavy with the scent of blood, sweat, and cold air, and the echoes of battle still hung faintly in the frost-bitten silence. Gregory moved briskly among the fallen trainees, his hands steady and precise despite the exhaustion
Chapter 428 Chapter 427: The Truth Behind the Beast Kairen swallowed hard as he stared at Orion. The alpha’s gaze was steady, unflinching, and impossibly heavy. Kairen was on alert at Orion’s presence. Kairen opened his mouth to speak when Orion spoke up. He leaned forward slightly, his voice low

Chapter 425 Chapter 424: After the Howl, After the Blood “Who is it?” Sophia asked quietly. Her voice came out thin, scraped raw by everything she had just witnessed. Orion’s head tilted slightly toward the cave entrance, his posture easing for the first time since the blade had come down.
Chapter 424 Chapter 423: The One Who Should Be Angry The beast looked down. Slowly. Almost disbelievingly. Blood soaked his chest, spreading outward from where Orion’s sword had pierced him. He lifted his head. And stared at Orion. His remaining eye was wide with shock.
Chapter 423 Chapter 422: When the Ground Answered Him The beast lifted his chained hand— And never got the chance to strike. Noctis moved immediately. One heartbeat, the massive wolf was coiled in behind Sophia—muscle locked, teeth bared, body trembling with restrained violence. The next, he was airborne. His jaws
Chapter 422 Chapter 421: The Distance He Needs The beast ignored her words, choosing to behave like Sophia hadn’t just spoken to him. “The place you are standing,” he told her calmly, his voice low and steady, “is too far p> Sophia released an insufferable sigh. It slipped out of
Chapter 421 Chapter 420: The Space Between Teeth and Breath Sophia did not move. The beast’s words still hung in the air between them, heavy and strange, his gaze fixed on her with an unreadable calm that made her skin prickle. Her fingers curled slightly at her sides. “And what

Chapter 419 Chapter 418: The Call Beneath the Stone Sophia’s lungs burned. Every breath came out in short, ragged bursts, her chest rising and falling too fast, too shallow, as if the air itself had grown thin and heavy around her. Sweat clung to her skin beneath her clothes, strands
Chapter 418 Chapter 417: The Price of Belief Meanwhile Back At The Cave; Kairen couldn’t move. His legs trembled so violently that he had to lock his knees just to remain standing, every muscle screaming for him to run while his mind refused to catch up with what his ears
Chapter 417 Chapter 416: Echoes That Refuse Silence Brynhild’s eyes narrowed.

Chapter 416 Chapter 415: Truths That Refuse to Stay Buried The council hall felt colder than the snow outside, even though it was a warm space most times. Eldric stood at its center, hands folded neatly behind his back, shoulders squared in a posture that mimicked calm even as his
Chapter 415 Chapter 414: When Omens Start Running Back at the pack compound; Eldric stood in front of the hearth, unmoving. The flames crackled softly, licking at the wood, throwing wavering shadows across the walls of the house. The warmth barely touched him. He could feel it on his skin,
