Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below **When the Last Candle Sang to the Ocean Wind by Aurelion Kyre Solvane** His voice sliced through the air like a blade, unforgiving and harsh. Natalia felt her body quiver violently, a tempest of fear rendering her speechless, her mind racing with a thousand thoughts yet unable to form a single coherent word.
As Dante finally released his grip on her, she felt a mix of relief and dread wash over her. She watched him stride away, his silhouette stark and resolute against the fading light, each step echoing the finality of their confrontation. Crashing to her knees, she felt the cold, hard ground beneath her, and her eyes brimmed with a volatile mixture of panic and seething hatred. "It's over... everything's over," she whispered to herself, the weight of her reality crashing down around her like a tidal wave. She had meticulously crafted plans for every scenario, every twist and turn-except this.
The realization struck her like a bolt of lightning: she had underestimated Dante's resolve. He understood that by leaving, he would forsake everything-his wealth, his esteemed position, and the loyalty of his pack. And yet, he had still chosen to walk away! No. The thought of Dante reaching Crisantia sent a shiver down her spine. If he succeeded, the agreement they had struck would come into play, and he would become utterly useless to her-an empty shell of a man. Desperation clawed at her insides. She had to reconcile with Rowan.
He might be an illegitimate child, a fact that carried its own weight of stigma, but at least he had something to offer-unlike Dante, who would soon be a disgraced Alpha, stripped of everything he once held dear. With a fierce determination, Natalia snatched her phone from her pocket, her fingers trembling as she dialed Rowan's number. She adopted a tone that was sweet and delicate, masking her turmoil: "When are you coming back?" The next day dawned gray and somber, the sky weeping as Evelyn's funeral took place.
Rosalie and Silas entered the hall, carefully holding Evelyn's portrait, a silent testament to the life that had been lost. A crowd gathered, drawn together by grief, each face a reflection of sorrow and respect. Dante arrived in a flurry, his unshaven beard and hollowed cheeks betraying the toll of his sleepless nights. He looked as though a decade had been etched onto his features overnight. Inside the hall, he stumbled toward the altar, his heart heavy as he sank to his knees before Evelyn's coffin. "I'm sorry, Evelyn...

I came too late..." he murmured, his voice breaking under the weight of his emotions. The words tumbled from his lips, raw and trembling: "I shouldn't have indulged Natalia... I should've come to Crisantia to find you right away." "Evelyn... please wake up. Just open your eyes... look at me..." Around him, the guests stood in stunned silence, their expressions a mix of shock and pity. Rosalie and Silas exchanged glances, their hearts aching for the man who had once been so full of life, now brought low by grief.
Unbeknownst to Dante, a figure loomed in the shadows of the crowd, watching him with cold indifference. A woman clad in a black dress and hat observed him from a distance, her expression unreadable. Next to her, Caden held an umbrella, shielding her from the drizzling rain. He noticed Evelyn's gaze fixated on Dante, a flicker of something passing through her eyes. "Feeling sorry for him?" Caden asked, his tone casual yet probing. Evelyn frowned, meeting Caden's gaze with a chill in her voice: "I don't feel sorry for him.
I feel sorry for myself." The memories flooded back-sleepless nights since Natalia had sent that smug voice message, while Dante lay beside her, blissfully unaware of the storm brewing in her heart. On what should have been their fifth anniversary, her 'celebration cake' had been nothing but a photo-an empty promise, a reminder of a love that had withered away. A cake so easily dismissed that Dante hadn't even bothered to bring it home. She lay in a hospital bed after the crash, while he welcomed that woman into their life, sharing the bed that was once theirs. So who truly deserved pity?
Caden looked away, sensing the weight of her sorrow. He couldn't help but notice the emptiness in her eyes. "Want to leave?" he asked gently. "Get some fresh air, Renata?" Evelyn's lips curled into a smile, a flicker of quiet triumph illuminating her features. "Sure." Just yesterday, she had finalized the last details of her new identity. She was now Renata Varnell. A new life was unfurling before her, ripe with possibilities.
A month later, in a surprising turn of events, Rosalie and Silas made a public announcement that their grand-niece, Renata Varnell, would be taking over the family company. The news reverberated through every pack, stirring shockwaves of disbelief among allies and rivals alike. Meanwhile, back in Frosthaven, Dante had been spiraling into despair ever since his return from Crisantia. He drowned his sorrows in alcohol, mourning Evelyn's absence, speaking to her photograph as if she could hear him, as if she were still there. "Evelyn... You lied, didn't you? You're still alive, right? Please...
come back..." "I was wrong... I betrayed you. I never should've done that." As Dante spiraled deeper into his grief, the pack elders convened, pulling out the agreement he had signed five years prior. They began the process of stripping him of his title, preparing to transfer his assets. With Evelyn legally declared dead, everything she had owned was to be inherited by Rosalie and Silas. Rosalie showed no mercy. She fired off an email to the elders: "List every single thing under Dante's name-the RV, the collectibles, anything that can be sold online.
Cash it all out, and leave him with nothing." She wanted him to grasp the lesson: A man who cherishes his wife will rise to power, while one who betrays her will lose everything. "Alright, Luna," the elder acknowledged, his tone clipped. A week later, the pack elder arrived at the pack house, his gaze sweeping over the man who had lost nearly sixty pounds. A flicker of surprise crossed his features, but it vanished as quickly as it came, replaced by a professional demeanor. "Dante," the elder began, "according to Luna Rosalie's orders, you are no longer permitted to enter the pack house.
You must also sell off your other properties. Everything needs to be vacated." Before he could finish, Dante suddenly looked up, a bitter laugh escaping his lips. "You want me to move out, huh? Evelyn's gone. There's nothing left of hers in the pack house anymore. There's no reason for me to stay." He staggered as he stepped outside, the weight of his sorrow pulling him down. Concerned, Thorne quickly followed him, worry etched into his features. Dante had been drowning in grief, drinking heavily, barely sleeping-only managing a few hours each night, if that.
At his lowest, he had even contemplated drinking wolfsbane, a desperate act that spoke volumes of his despair. So, it came as no surprise that before he could leave the garden, he collapsed once more, the world around him fading into darkness. Conclusion In the aftermath of Evelyn's funeral, the emotional landscape shifted dramatically for both Dante and Natalia. Dante, burdened by guilt and grief, found himself spiraling into a chasm of despair, haunted by the memories of a love he had taken for granted.
Each empty bottle served as a reminder of the promises he had broken and the life he had so carelessly abandoned. Meanwhile, Natalia, in her desperate bid for power, sought to manipulate the remnants of her shattered plans, only to realize that her machinations had led her to a path of isolation and betrayal. The stark contrast between their fates-Dante's descent into darkness and Natalia's cold ascent-underscored the profound consequences of their choices, leaving them both grappling with the haunting echoes of what once was.
As the days turned into weeks, the finality of their decisions settled heavily upon them. Dante's collapse in the garden marked not just a physical breakdown but a symbolic end to the man he once was, consumed by the very darkness he had invited into his life. In contrast, Natalia's relentless pursuit of power came at the cost of her humanity, forcing her to confront the emptiness that lay beneath her ambitions. The chapter closed with a haunting reminder that true strength lies not in the ruthless pursuit of desire, but in the capacity to love and cherish those who matter most.
The stakes are higher than ever as Dante grapples with his grief and the realization that he has lost not only Evelyn but also his standing and purpose. Will he succumb to the darkness that threatens to engulf him, or will a flicker of resolve spark within him, urging him to fight back against the tide of despair? Meanwhile, Natalia's desperate maneuvering to align herself with Rowan sets the stage for a tense confrontation. As she navigates the treacherous waters of betrayal and ambition, her true intentions will be laid bare.
Will she succeed in manipulating Rowan into her plans, or will the consequences of her actions come back to haunt her?
