Chapter 208

~Zara’s POV~

"That was me. I sent that message."

The priestess words came crashing down, leaving me speechless. My mind reeled, trying to piece together everything she had just revealed.

The anonymous messages I’d ignored, the strange dreams I had dismissed as stress—all of it had been her.

Her piercing gaze softened slightly as though she understood my disbelief. "My name," she said calmly, "is Siona. I am a guide, a priestess or a watcher and the one entrusted to set you on your path."

I swallowed hard, forcing to keep my pounding heart at ease. "What path? What do you want from me?"

Siona’s lips curved into a faint smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes. "You were not brought back just to rewrite your fate, Zia. You were reborn because this world needs you. A great calamity is coming, one that will tear apart not just the packs but the entire continent."

"What calamity?" I demanded, my voice rising despite the eerie calm of the forest.

"The balance of power is shifting," she replied gravely. "The Thorned Crescent Pack, the Shadow Clave, and others you do not yet know conspire in darkness. They seek to unleash a force that will consume us all. Innocent lives—pack members, children—will be lost unless they are stopped."

The air around me seemed to grow colder as her words sank in. Astrid growled uneasily, her energy swirling in agitation.

"And what does this have to do with me?" I asked.

"You are the key," Siona said simply. "Your rebirth was not random. You were chosen because you have the power to unite, to bring the Lycans and werewolves together. Only by standing as one can this threat be defeated."

"But why me? What do I have that others do not?"

"You are the daughter of the once strongest werewolf alpha, from the lines of true Alpha Kings. You have access to the Jade stone."

My eyes darted to her hand and the memory of Siona using a small Jade stone to bring me back came back to mind.

I blinked, snapping my head in her direction. "You... I..." _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

"As you know, you are Zia, and next in line after your brother, Alpha Zade, to the throne."

"Then why not Zade? Why me?"

"Unlike Zade, you have a bigger chance of connecting the races. Unlike Zade, you inherited your great-grandmother’s powers—the divine witch."

My heart skipped several beats as I tried to figure out what was going on. All of these, no one had mentioned it before. Not even my birth mother nor Zade.

Sensing my confusion, Siona continued, "I understand it is too much for you, Zia but nothing in this life comes easy and neither will their plans remain in limbo, waiting for you. They are all connected, Zia. Every enemy you have faced till now are connected."

My stomach twisted as I thought of what she said and how I needed to avert it. My mind brought back Kaid’s memories. "And the Lycans, their King, Alpha Kaid? What role does he play in this?"

Siona’s expression darkened. "Kaid is both an ally and obstacle. You cannot evade him. You must be wise enough to harness his power and influence. Without the Lycans, the werewolves cannot stand a chance against what is to come."

I shook my head, trying to make sense of it all. "And if I fail?"

Her gaze bore into mine. "You must not fail."

~Snow’s POV~

Storm’s report only heightened my unease. "She’s not in the mansion," he said. His tone was calm, but the worry in his eyes mirrored my own.
