There should not have been a lunar eclipse tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mind struggled to grasp the contradiction even as my body reacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The half-shift Alina and I had been maintaining dissolved. Silver fur receded. The claws that had begun to form along my fingers retracted painfully as bone and muscle settled into human form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The change happened so suddenly that I staggered a half-step before catching my balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loss of the shift felt like someone had slammed a door inside my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low rumble vibrated through the clearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashar’s massive shoulders stiffened in front of me as the same pressure descended on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logan reacted similarly a heartbeat later, the enormous grey wolf lifting his head toward the sky as a frustrated snarl curled from between his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four wolves surrounding us noticed the change immediately. But the eclipse seemed to have the opposite effect on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their movements shifted. The careful hesitation and fear that Ashar’s arrival had forced upon them began to loosen as the shadow deepened across the moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slow chill crept down my spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked upward again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moon now sat half-covered in darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But my instincts screamed that something about it was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s not right,” I murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashar’s ears flicked at the sound of my voice behind him, but he did not turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attention remained locked on the wolves circling the clearing, his body positioned squarely between them and me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashar’s dominance and prowess were still there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the eclipse was interfering with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My gaze shifted toward Catherine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood exactly where she had earlier, watching the scene unfold with a gleam in her eyes that set my teeth on edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her posture remained relaxed, arms loosely folded. Her eyes drifted toward the darkening moon before returning to us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And suddenly the answer clicked into place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eclipse wasn’t real, not in the natural sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It existed only inside the barrier she had created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A psychic illusion powerful enough to manipulate the lunar resonance that wolves relied on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scale of that ability placed a cold weight on my chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Influencing perception was one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Altering the fundamental forces that shaped a wolf’s power was something else entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the kind of manipulation only the most dangerous psychics could achieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sovereign-level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catherine’s voice drifted across the clearing. “A fascinating effect, isn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashar’s growl deepened in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The moon governs our kind in ways no other species ever truly understands,” Catherine continued, her tone thoughtful with a hint of derision. “I’ve often wondered what might happen if that influence were...interrupted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze slid upward again, lips curved. “Now we know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the circling wolves lunged forward suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashar moved to intercept, but there was a delay—a heartbeat too slow, a fraction too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His massive paw struck the attacker’s shoulder, yet the force fell short of the crushing power it should have carried, sending the wolf reeling instead of breaking it outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opening was immediate and dangerous. The rogue twisted back toward him, and Logan lunged in to cover the gap, his grey form slamming into the attacker with a snap of his jaws—but even that strike lacked its usual force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact drove the wolf back, but not nearly far enough, not with the overwhelming strength and speed that should have ended the fight in a single motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The growing eclipse pressed down on Ashar and Logan like an invisible weight, slowing them down. Weakening them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another wolf darted forward from the opposite side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logan intercepted a fraction too late. His jaws missed the throat as he forced the attacker back with effort rather than a clean takedown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashar shifted his stance, and for the first time since he had entered the clearing, he took a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logan mirrored the movement, the two wolves tightening their defensive formation as they continued forcing the attackers away from me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the circling wolves were beginning to sense the shift in balance. They moved closer, more confident now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However Catherine caused the eclipse, she was simultaneously protecting our attackers from its effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I clenched my fists as my thoughts raced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashar and Logan were still stronger than the other wolves—for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the longer we remained inside Catherine’s barrier, the worse our position grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the eclipse was complete, the balance would tip, and we would all be at the rogues’ mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brush of awareness touched the edge of my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His presence lingered just beyond the treeline, concealed beneath the psychic veil he had woven around himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And suddenly a memory was pushed into my mind, along with Corin’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Instead of holding your power inward, try directing some of it outward.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My breath slowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashar drove another wolf back, forcing it to stumble several steps away from the defensive line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logan struck immediately afterward, his body slamming into a second wolf and pushing it aside with more effort than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they continued to give ground, gradually retreating toward the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I closed my eyes, allowing my awareness to sink deeper into the connection that existed beneath the surface of my thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alina stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her presence flickered faintly within me, muted and weak but not extinguished by the eclipse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I reached outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The psychic energy answered, but unevenly—flickering through my mind in unstable surges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the moon to anchor it, the power resisted me, slipping and straining against my control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pushed past it, forcing the energy to expand beyond my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first connection formed with Ashar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment our minds brushed, the effect was immediate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashar’s shoulders lifted and broadened as renewed power flowed into him, the golden wolf’s growl deepening as his dominance pushed outward again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logan was next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When my psychic field touched him, his ears twitched sharply, and he stood straighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy flowed outward through both of them, strengthening their instincts, sharpening their movements, reinforcing the natural coordination that already existed between the two Alphas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashar lunged forward again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, his strike sent one of the wolves skidding violently across the clearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logan followed immediately, driving another attacker backward with renewed force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catherine was not pleased with the shift in momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes narrowed as she studied me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That ability of yours,” she said slowly, her voice hard. “Very unusual.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t bother with an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashar stepped backward again, forcing another wolf away from the defensive line as Logan mirrored the movement beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were retreating deliberately now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guiding the confrontation closer to the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closer to the barrier’s edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I channeled strength into them, sustaining the psychic bridge as steadily as I could while we moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The barrier shimmered behind us now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a little farther.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catherine took several steps forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leaving already?” she asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashar ignored her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logan shoved another wolf aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We were almost there. We had to make it before the eclipse was complete, and Ashar and Logan lost all power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catherine’s attention shifted briefly toward the trees behind us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toward the place where Corin remained hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cocked her head, her expression changing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh.” For the first time, she sounded genuinely surprised. “You brought your own—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment of distraction, Corin moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His psychic presence surged outward from the forest like a blade drawn silently from its sheath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our awarenesses aligned instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No words were necessary; the attack formed between us with frightening speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corin’s precision guided the strike. My power fueled it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The psychic impact slammed into Catherine’s mind like a sudden thunderclap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her composure shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes widened in genuine surprise as the force of the strike rippled through the barrier she had constructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath her feet cracked as the psychic backlash disrupted her control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She staggered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow covering the moon began to dissipate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go!” I shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Alphas reacted instantly, surging backward through the shimmering edge of the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment their bodies crossed the boundary, the pressure vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eclipse collapsed like a broken illusion, and moonlight flooded the forest once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alina surged within me again, her presence returning in a rush of silver warmth beneath my skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strength rushed back into Ashar and Logan at once, their forms steadying as the moon reclaimed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I followed them into the trees, relief flooding me as I passed through the remnants of the barrier. The psychic bridge I had been holding between Ashar, Logan, Corin, and me collapsed all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind us, Catherine recovered her balance, her expression smoothing as the fractured barrier dissolved around the clearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corin stepped out into view. “Come on,” he urged. “We need to—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I couldn’t hear him. I couldn’t hear anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pain crashed through my head, sharp and overwhelming, blurring my vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground tilted beneath my feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sera?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I barely registered the grass rushing up to meet me before everything went dark.\u003C\u002Fp>",1537,"2026-06-03T02:27:49.405Z",1,"novelbin.me","d90e7e48fcc6737fd7b12ad7e8e2ec9185d4024820ce2babfdb24897928bae9e","my-sister-stole-my-mate-and-i-let-her-chapter-394","my-sister-stole-my-mate-and-i-let-her-chapter-392",488,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-sister-stole-my-mate-and-i-let-her-cover.jpg"]
