Chapter 24 She reacted like I had actually pulled a trigger on a loaded gun. She reeled back so hard, I had to catch her. Still, she staggered like her legs could no longer hold her upright. Her head drooped, her shoulders quivering under some unseen weight. When she raised

Chapter 23 🌙𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐡 My heart stuttered to a stop, my blood slowing to a terrifying crawl in my veins. A choked gasp escaped me, the air seeming to press down from every direction. My gaze shifted shakily to his face, just behind the gun he now pressed to my forehead—the

Chapter 22 🌙𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐡 Strong arms caught me before the steps could claim me. The jolt of the sudden stop was harder than any impact from the fall could have been. Yet, it was nothing compared to the grip that held me in place. The sensation passed, the scent hitting me

Chapter 21 𓆩Vladimir𓆪 I steepled my fingers in front of me, leaning in. The air was taut with a tension that could snap a rope. Kustav leaned back, as though he were watching his opponent try to undo what he had built—watching him attempt to win. “I must applaud you,

Chapter 20 Kustav only spoke when our gazes locked, as though each word he uttered was meant to be measured against my reaction. “Like the seers said, only a creature of both realms is capable of stopping the schism the Veil will become p> “A Marked Hybrid,” Luna Melis scowled.

Chapter 19 Her voice looped in my head like a scratched record. I ran a hand through my hair as if the action could rip her words out of me. The cold was always prevalent in Wintercrest—hence the name—but now the car seemed to heat. I was tempted to loosen

Chapter 18 🌙 𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐡 Vladimir didn’t move. Not a blink, not a twitch—just that tall, immovable figure, half-turned, his gaze fixed somewhere between my face and the floor as if pinning me there without actually touching me. The silence pressed in, thick and cold, until the pulse in my ears

Chapter 17 🌙𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐡 My glare faltered, confusion slipping into the space where irritation had been. Unless every werewolf romance I’d ever read had lied to me, they could heal. Rapidly. Cellular regeneration was supposed to make scars a non-issue… so why p> My gaze climbed, betraying me, over the sculpted

Chapter 16 “I do not recall informing you to call the Seer.” My voice carried an edge, and she was far too sharp-witted not to hear it. Veronique tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her expression softening into something almost appeasing. “Vladimir, you know why,” she said. “Even

Chapter 15 🌙𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐡 A painful current of electricity shot through the stitches again as I leaned in to open my door. I gritted my teeth, fighting the instinct to double over from the agony. I couldn’t let Caesar see me like this. He would blame himself, like he always did.

Chapter 14 Golden orbs bore into mine—wide and alert, flickering with the weight of everything that had happened barely twenty minutes ago. Yet on the surface, the stubborn tilt of her chin, the slight pout of her lips, and the way she seemed to straighten her spine even as I

Chapter 13 🌙𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐡 I don’t remember how I got into the car. One second, I was burning alive in Vladimir’s arms, lungs full of fire, blood roaring in my ears. The next, I was in the passenger seat, wrapped in his coat, warm, suffocating, smelling like him. Steel and winter.

Chapter 12 Just what I needed—a scorned Alpha stopping my car with the prize he couldn’t win. I stepped out, letting the door shut with a finality that echoed down the frost-laced street. Kustav stood across from me, hands buried in the pockets of a midnight coat stitched with ego

Chapter 11 🌙𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐡 I rose on my own and let him guide me to the waiting car I now recognised as his. As the car moved, I shrunk into myself, letting my mind carry to another place, where I was seated in the same car as a man who looked

Chapter 10 🌙 𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐡 The card trembled in my hand as I held it up to the patrol gate. One of the guards scanned it without speaking. The moment it blinked green, the silver bars began to pull apart. No hesitation. No questions. Just… silent permission. I glanced back over

Chapter 9 🌙𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐡 He didn’t answer. I turned to him, my voice rising. “People went missing here. Students. You can’t drive through here—this place is p> “Stop the car!” I shouted. “This path is crazy. It is not normal—people disappear—they come back different. It is not safe p> The forest

Chapter 8 🌙 𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐡 The crowd erupted into polite applause, a slow, unsettling rhythm that echoed off the marble walls like the tolling of bells at a funeral. And I was the corpse. I couldn’t look away. Not from the towering balcony above, where he sat, still, silent, unbothered. Unlike

Chapter 7 🌙𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐡 My eyes snapped open, panic surging through me like ice in my veins. I didn’t need to look around to know something was very wrong. I tried to move only to realize I couldn’t. I was locked in a sitting position, completely restrained. The moment I struggled,

Chapter 6 🌙𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐡 A confused, tense silence followed. The announcement was deafening. No one moved. “Get up!” one of the men yelled, raising his gun threateningly. Everyone rose at the speed of light, their heartbeats strangely pulsing in my eardrums. What the hell was wrong with me? Jerry made eye

Chapter 5 🌙 𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐡 The blood in my veins slowed to a crawl, my mind unable to wrap around the absurdity of the situation. I finally put my foot down about something pivotal concerning my life and my family—then the universe flips me off. Fuck my life p> While everyone
