Chapter 646 

I landed back on my knees, my curly hair a nest of tangles, and my father wide–eyed a few feet away. Everyone around was staring at me as I struggled to breathe. “Are you okay?” My father tried to reach for me but I waved him off. I needed to finish the spell, or all of this would have been for nothing. I pushed up, getting to my shaking feet, and took a breath. “Baby?” My father watched me from his knees, worry and awe etched on his face, but I held up a finger. 

“Alpha!” Lynn screamed, causing everyone to turn, but I needed to seal the spell. 

I raised my arms and pulled the last of my power to me. I closed my eyes as I gathered everything I had left. My wolves lay exhausted in the clearing, having given everything we had for this moment. “Sentra seal clin tre god forma exh cka.” I felt the words leave my lips, and my power whipped from me. 

Finish it. Gaia screamed. 

You have to seal it. Pontus cried. 

You are out of time. Uranus bellowed. 

“No!” Someone screamed, and my eyes flew open. Then everything moved in slow motion. 

Cass was running towards me, her face a mask of hatred and death. I couldn’t understand what she was doing, but I had no time. 

“Pota cint kor shin fi na tur din she kona.” I screamed the words. 

Lynn screamed. “Amy!” Everyone turned and stared in horror as the knife in Cass’s hand came down. She stabbed at my heart, and I couldn’t move. I couldn’t fight. I closed my eyes in acceptance. 

“FORITUNA.” I screamed the last word. The spell was sealed. The power ripped from my chest in one agonizing second, and my eyes flew open. 

I watched as the knife slid home. 

Rowan was standing in front of me, eyes full of love, as the knife came through his chest. Blood splattered across my face, and he smiled. “I love you.” His words made me shake my head. It made no sense. 

This entire thing made zero sense. 

Cass screamed. “No!” Her eyes blazed as she ripped the knife from Rowan’s chest and stabbed again. “It’s supposed to be you!” Her face rippled. 

My hand snapped out and wrapped around her neck. I used my other hand to take the blade and threw it away. My eyes blazing as I felt Rowan’s body sag against mine. “I give you everything I have.” His whispered words had a sob breaking from my lips. Then, I felt a surge of power flow into me. 

“Why?” I choked out. I couldn’t tell if I was asking my mate or my best friend. “WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?” I screamed as people finally started moving. I bared my teeth as Cass started laughing. “You are my best fucking friend. Why would you do this to me? To us?” My heart shattered the moment the knife sank into his heart. 

“You are fucking pathetic.” Cass’s face shifted again. Her blonde hair shifted to a different shade. Familiar eyes turned cold, and her full lips thinned. I let out a choking noise, and she grinned. “Did you really think she fucking survived?” 

Greyson dropped to his knees, and Lynn finally made it to us. “Oh, Goddess.” Her face paled as she saw what was going on. Greyson realized that the woman he had been taking care of, loving, wasn’t his mate. The heartbroken

scream that exploded from him was deafening. 

“Where’s my mate?” The question was like a bomb, but she ignored him. Like he was nothing. 

“Aurora.” I choked on the name and she grinned. She fucking grinned like this was exactly the reaction she craved. 

“The one and only.” She leaned into Rowan’s back, bringing her face next to mine. “I killed your best friend and now I’ve killed your mate.” She pulled back and looked around maniacally. “The humans will be here in less than a minute. This entire pack is dead. I can’t wait to watch.” 

I felt my lips tremble as I clutched Rowan to my chest. The rattling in his lungs told me enough. I ignored the woman in my hand for a second as I looked down at his face pressed against me. “You’re going to be fine.” I rubbed his back; his eyes flicked up, and all I saw was his acceptance. He was okay with this. 1 

He smiled, blood coating his teeth. “I saved you.” He laughed and then grimaced. “I can die a happy man knowing I saved you.” He coughed. “You have been the best thing that has ever happened to me. I would have waited forever for you. And if this life wasn’t long enough, I would have found you in the next.” He closed his eyes as he slid to his knees. “I will always find you in the next life.” 

I clutched him to my chest. “Baby?” I choked. “Baby?”
