  The journey to the stronghold took three days. Three long, painful days where every step felt like walking through fire.Laura rode on Zephyr's back in his wolf form. Her burned hands gripped his thick fur. Her blind eyes saw nothing but darkness.But she could feel everything else. The wind on her face. The scent of pine trees. The steady rhythm of Zephyr's breathing beneath her.Dante walked beside them. His wounds were healing, but he still moved carefully. Every few minutes, he would touch her leg. Just to make sure she was okay.Orion scouted ahead. The old healer knew these mountains well. He led them through hidden paths that kept them safe from shadow wolves.On the second night, they made camp in a small cave. Laura sat by the fire, listening to the crackling flames."How much further?" she asked."One more day," Orion said. "Maybe less if we push hard.""We should push hard," Dante said. "The others need to know what we learned about Kragroth."Laura nodded. But inside, she

  The fortress reeked of death and dark magic.Elise stood in the center of the ritual chamber. Her bare feet were planted in a circle of dried blood. Kieran's blood. Her skin glowed pale as moonlight in the darkness.But she wasn't Elise anymore. Not really.Her eyes were completely black. No white. No color. Just endless darkness that seemed to pull light into itself.Dark veins pulsed under her skin like spider webs. They started at her heart and spread across her entire body. Each pulse sent power through her bones.She looked beautiful and terrible at the same time."He escaped," she said to the empty air. Her voice was layered with something ancient. Something that didn't belong in any human throat.The shadow wolves around her whimpered. Even they could feel the rage building inside their new master."Nikolai fucking escaped," she repeated. This time her voice cracked the stone walls.Insignificant, a voice whispered in her mind. He is nothing. A worm beneath your feet."He was s

  Pain came first. Then voices.Laura's whole body felt like it was on fire. Every breath hurt. Every heartbeat sent agony through her chest.But she was alive."Easy," a familiar voice said softly. "Don't try to move."Dante. She could smell his blood and sweat. Feel his gentle hands on her face.Laura tried to open her eyes but saw nothing. Just endless darkness."I can't see," she whispered. Her voice was barely a sound."I know." Dante's thumb brushed away tears she didn't know were falling. "Your eyes... they need.... need...need... time to heal.""Will they heal?"Silence. That was answer enough.Other voices echoed through the cave. Two men arguing in hushed tones."This is my fault," one voice said. Broken and raw with guilt. "All of this is my fucking fault."Zephyr. He sounded like a man drowning in shame."You couldn't control it," another voice replied. It sounded older and calmer. "None of us could have known."Laura didn't recognize the second voice. But it sounded kind."

  He moved faster than a normal wolf could. Faster than Nikolai could react.His fist slammed into Nikolai's chest. The sound was like breaking wood.Nikolai flew backward. Hit the stone wall hard."Too slow," Kieran said. He grabbed Nikolai by the throat. Lifted him off the ground like he weighed nothing."Too weak."He threw Nikolai across the room. Nikolai crashed into the torture table. Tools scattered everywhere."Too pathetic."Kieran walked over slowly. Like he had all the time in the world.Nikolai tried to get up. His body wouldn't obey. Everything hurt."You know what your problem is?" Kieran asked. He kicked Nikolai in the ribs. "You think you're a hero."Another kick. This one to his back."You think you can save everyone. The alliance. Maid. Laura. Your precious pack."Kieran grabbed Nikolai's hair. Dragged him across the floor."But you can't save anyone. You couldn't save that girl. You can't save Laura. And you sure as hell can't save yourself."He threw Nikolai against

  Nikolai's mind raced. He had to get out of here. Had to find Laura.He gripped the golden dagger tight in his hand. The metal felt warm against his palm.His sharp ears caught something. Footsteps. Heavy boots on the stone floor.Thinking fast, Nikolai quickly grabbed the open manacle. Clicked it back around his wrist. The chain rattled softly.He hid the dagger behind his back. Let his body sag against the wall like he was still weak and broken.The footsteps got closer.A man walked into the chamber. He wore the dark armor of Kieran's soldiers. But something was different about him.His skin was gray like Kieran's. Black veins pulsed under the surface. But his eyes... his eyes still had life in them. There were intelligence in it.Most shadow soldiers were mindless. This one wasn't."Well, well," the man said. His voice was smooth. Almost friendly. "Look what we have here."He walked closer. Studying Nikolai like he was looking at an old painting."Do you remember me?" the soldier a

  Nikolai's body screamed with pain. Every breath hurt. His wrists were raw from the chains. Blood dried on his chest from Elise's cuts. But the worst pain wasn't in his body. It was in his heart. Laura, he thought. Please be okay. Kieran's words echoed in his mind. About Laura being trapped. About his shadow wolves hunting her. But something didn't feel right. If Kieran really wanted Laura dead, why hadn't he killed her already? Why keep her alive just to plan on killing her after the escape? He's lying, Nikolai told himself. He has to be. But doubt ate at him like poison. What if Laura was really in danger? What if she was hurt and he couldn't help her? His green eyes stared at the stone ceiling. His body shook from exhaustion and blood loss. The sound of footsteps made him look up. Elise walked back into the chamber. She moved like a cat. Slow and dangerous. "Miss me?" she asked with a cold smile. Nikolai said nothing. He didn't have the strength to fight her anymore. "I'v
