Chapter 1501: Chapter 1501

The wind shifted as the sun disappeared behind the canopy, casting deep purple shadows across the moss-covered ground. They moved together now - Jude and his twelve wives - not as individuals but as a unit, bound not just by touch and trust, but by something older. Something sacred. The forest no longer frightened them. It pulsed with familiarity, like veins through a living body, and they were its heartbeat.

Scarlet walked beside Jude, her hand in his, her body still glowing faintly where they’d joined moments before. She didn’t speak - none of them did - but the silence between them was thick with meaning, a thread of tension and desire that hummed beneath their skin.

Sophie was the one who broke it. "There’s something ahead. I can feel it in my teeth."

Emma glanced over. "In your teeth?"

"It buzzes. Like static, but internal. Like the air’s not just around us anymore - it’s in us."

Zoey nodded. "The island’s singing louder."

They came to a clearing surrounded by trees so tall they disappeared into mist. In the center stood a stone archway, half-buried in vines and etched with unfamiliar runes that glowed faintly as the group approached. At its base, a pool of still, black water reflected the stars, even though it was too early for night.

Natalie knelt by the pool, dipping her fingers into it. "Warm. Like blood. But not threatening."

Stella walked toward the arch and placed her hand on the stone. It pulsed beneath her fingers, and the vines began to shift, sliding away as if moved by an unseen will.

A whisper moved through the trees, but it wasn’t in a human voice. It was feminine , fluid, melodic. It said nothing Jude could translate, and yet he understood . It welcomed them.

Layla stepped to the edge of the pool and stripped away her dress without hesitation. Her body glistened in the odd light, and her eyes - half-lidded and shining - met Jude’s. "Come with me."

Jude felt every eye on him. Not in judgment. In anticipation.

He pulled off his shirt first, then the rest. When he stepped into the water with Layla, it closed over their bodies like silk. Warm. Sensual. Surrounding and accepting them. Layla swam to him, wrapping her legs around his waist, and kissed him slowly, her mouth tasting like memory.

When they surfaced, Grace and Emma were undressing together. They entered the pool hand-in-hand, laughing softly, the sound full of mischief and heat. Scarlet followed, her fingers trailing through the air as if conducting an invisible song.

Soon, they were all in the water.

Limbs entangled.

Mouths explored.

Gasps echoed between the trees.

The island responded. The vines on the arch trembled. The runes flared brighter. The trees around them swayed without wind. The stars above pulsed in time with the rhythm of their bodies.

Jude felt Lucy’s lips on his neck, then her mouth moved lower, joined by Zoey’s fingertips sliding down his spine. He surrendered. Again. They all did.

Bodies moved in synchronicity, not in chaos but in communion.

Rose found him, straddled his lap in the water, her hair fanned out like a halo behind her. "This is what the island wanted," she whispered. "Not worship. Not fear. Union ."

He kissed her. She kissed him back harder.

They moved together, the water rocking around them. Stella moaned nearby, her voice blending into Sophie’s. Emma cried out, then laughed, then moaned again. Natalie floated beside them all, stroking herself lazily while watching the stars.

At the peak of pleasure, the arch flared.

A sound like a chord filled the air, impossible and beautiful.

And then -

Silence.

Stillness.

Jude opened his eyes.

They were dry. Not wet.

The pool had vanished.

They stood now in a wide expanse of grass beneath a twilight sky. Naked. Gleaming. Breathless.

The stone arch remained, taller now, glowing gold.

Sophie stepped forward, her hands still trembling. "It transported us."

"To where?" asked Grace.

Rose smiled. "Not where. When ."

Jude stared at the arch. "What do you mean?"

Stella looked around, brow furrowed. "I recognize this place."

Zoey turned in a slow circle. "So do I. It’s the forest. But... cleaner. Younger."

Lucy stepped to Jude’s side. "I think we’re in the island’s past."

The air smelled sweet, untouched. The trees were young, their trunks slender, their bark unscarred. Flowers bloomed in spirals along the ground, and strange birds with sapphire feathers watched them from the branches.

Scarlet bent down and touched the grass. "This is where it began."

They stood in silence for a long time, the warm breeze licking their skin, the afterglow still burning softly in their bodies.

Rose stepped forward. "We weren’t the first. But we might be the last."

The arch pulsed behind them, waiting.

Jude turned to his wives. "Do we go forward?"

Layla kissed his shoulder. "Always."

So they walked, still naked, into the future of the island’s past - hand in hand, heart to heart, skin to skin.

They moved like a dream stitched into reality, bare feet brushing over soft grass that glittered faintly beneath the twilight sky. Every breath felt sacred. Every glance shared between them pulsed with something deeper than lust - though lust simmered there too, warm and insistent. Whatever the island had done to them, it hadn’t taken their hunger. It had simply deepened it. Refined it. Transformed it into something elemental.

Jude led, but only because the others let him. It was no longer about control or dominance. It was trust. Shared, cyclical. When Sophie touched his back with her fingers, it sent ripples through the entire group, like a whisper passed down a chain of intimate contact. Emma took his hand. Stella twined her fingers through his other. Zoey’s lips brushed his shoulder. Behind him, he felt the soft press of Rose’s breasts against his spine, her breath warm against his neck.

The forest parted ahead.

Not like it had been forced.

Like it wanted them.

And in the center of the new clearing stood a long structure, grown rather than built - pillars of living trees woven with vines, flowering branches curling over like a natural cathedral.
