Chapter 413 Chapter 412: Secrets in the Shadows The battlefield seemed to pause for a heartbeat as the cloaked figures halted abruptly, their faces frozen in shock. Darius, their leader, lay dead, his blood painting the snow crimson. Seven figures remained, clustered near the edge of the clearing, their hoods
Chapter 412 Chapter 411: The Beaststorm Noctis surged forward through the clearing, each powerful stride crushing snow beneath his paws. Sophia clung tightly to his back, her short swords strapped at her sides, eyes wide as she scanned the battlefield. Her gaze swept over the chaos, searching for any sign
Chapter 411 Chapter 410: When the Gate Fell (Some Minutes Before) Behind Ronan, the Trihydra released a sound that wasn’t merely a hiss. It was a roar layered with something deeper he couldn’t place. The sound grated on his ears, and he covered them with his hands, but as if
Chapter 410 Chapter 409: Help Arrives (Some minutes before) Ronan barely had time to register the thunder of paws before instinct dragged his gaze toward the blur of motion tearing through the clearing. Seven wolves. Relief slammed into his chest so hard it almost hurt. One of the wolves broke
Chapter 409 Chapter 408: The Sound That Likely Summons Beasts (some minutes before) Gregory froze as he heard the loud hiss, his gaze locked with Ronan’s for half a heartbeat, the same realization flashing between them. That sound. It was definitely a Trihydra, but it wasn’t just a Trihydra —
Chapter 408 Chapter 407: Fangs of the Inevitable Orion didn’t hesitate. He gave a single sharp nod, jaw set, eyes burning with restrained urgency. “I know, shorty p> Sophia paused and gave him a look. “What p> “I’ll explain later,” he told her. Sophia looked around and noticed it was
Chapter 407 Chapter 406: When the Future Screams The forest blurred past in streaks of shadow and frost. Cold wind tore at Sophia’s hair, whipping loose strands against her cheeks as Noctis thundered through the dense forest of Nirvana. His massive body moved with predatory grace, paws barely skimming the
Chapter 406 Chapter 405: The Echo of Shadows Ronan’s gaze narrowed, the blade in his hand steady despite the tension vibrating through every muscle. His eyes didn’t waver from the man before him — Darius. The light of Nirvana reflected faintly off the blackened boulder near the cave, glinting along
Chapter 405 Chapter 404: The Messenger Beneath the Snow Meanwhile, back at the pack compound: Frost clung stubbornly to the low branches, dusting bark and brittle leaves with a pale sheen that cracked softly beneath every step. The light filtering through the canopy was thin and cold. Even the birds
Chapter 404 Chapter 403: The Wolf Beneath the Crown Sophia stared. Where Orion had stood only seconds ago, a massive wolf now occupied the snow-dusted clearing — silver and black fur rippling with quiet power, shoulders broad and imposing, eyes bright with sharp intelligence. A crescent-shaped marking glinted faintly against
Chapter 403 Chapter 402: The Heart of Urgency Orion frowned at Sophia, his brow knitting tightly as he took in the way she limped toward him, each step deliberate but strained. Her hair clung to her face, streaked with dirt and snow, her hands still faintly stained from the chaos
Chapter 402 Chapter 401: Three Heads Fall The moment the Trihydra’s head burst from the cave, everything happened at once. Orion’s hand flew to the hilt of his sword. Steel sang as it cleared the sheath, the sound sharp and clean against the frozen air. He didn’t hesitate. Instinct took
Chapter 401 Chapter 400: Where the Forest Holds Its Breath Noctis came to a sudden stop. Snow sprayed forward as his paws dug hard into the frozen ground, claws carving shallow grooves into ice and dirt. His massive frame tensed, muscles coiling instinctively as his head snapped up. The forest
Chapter 400 Chapter 399: Through the Hollow Meanwhile, Sophia was still at the nest. The woman lifted her hands again. Not pointing this time. Not beckoning. She mimicked a striking motion instead — palms turning inward, arms pulling back and driving forward like she was hitting the invisible surface in
Chapter 399 Chapter 398: Tenfold Brynhild didn’t move after the slap. The sound still lingered in the dungeon, echoing faintly off the stone walls before dissolving into silence. Holly’s head remained turned to the side, breath uneven, cheek already burning where Brynhild’s palm had connected. For a heartbeat, no one
Chapter 398 Chapter 397: Did You Leave My Sister To Die? The path to the dungeons lay beneath the eastern wing of the pack compound, half-hidden behind a row of old stone archways buried with snow that most people barely remembered existed anymore. Brynhild walked it without hesitation. Daniel and
Chapter 397 Chapter 396: Ripples in the Snow Meanwhile, Back at the Pack Compounds The whole pack was abuzz with conversations about how Orion had run out like he was on fire, or that something was going on. Everyone speculated about the reason. Some said it had something to do
Chapter 396 Chapter 395: The Guiding Light Sophia turned sharply to Tarin, her chest tight with disbelief. She was certain his words had shifted unexpectedly. “Tarin,” she called out. She wondered if he could… no, she shook her head. If he couldn’t see the woman, then he wouldn’t have spoken,
Chapter 395 Chapter 394: Cracks in the Nest The surface was slick, hardened by layered resin and compacted debris — smooth in unnatural places, jagged in others, but never offering a reliable anchor point. Her fingers pressed against it, testing. The truth was, Sophia wasn’t much of a climber. She
Chapter 394 Chapter 393: The Only Way Is Up Sophia tore a long strip from the hem of her cloak. The fabric resisted for a second before giving way with a rough rip that echoed faintly through the hollow chamber. The sound made her flinch instinctively. Everything inside this nest
