CHAPTER 14 - Chains and Revelations

last update Last Updated: 2025-11-15 19:19:40

Cold. Everything was cold.

I woke to the sound of water dripping somewhere in the darkness, my body screaming in protest. Heavy iron chains bound my wrists and ankles, each link inscribed with runes that burned against my skin. Wolfsbane and something else—magic designed to suppress any power I might summon.

"Zack?" I croaked, my throat raw from screaming during whatever torture had knocked me unconscious.

"Here." His voice came from beside me, rough and pained. "Are you hurt?"

"Everything hurts," I admitted. Through the bond, I felt his injuries—worse than mine. They had beaten him severely, focusing their brutality on the Alpha rather than his mate.

My eyes adjusted to the dim light filtering through a barred window high above. We were in a stone cell, damp and reeking of blood and despair. Zack sat chained to the opposite wall, his face bruised and swollen, fresh wounds covering his torso.

"What happened?" I asked, memories fragmented.

"Iris sold us to her buyer. A man named Darius

    The battle lasted four hours and painted the northern border red.I stood on a ridge overlooking the aftermath, void power still crackling across my skin. Below, Coalition wolves retreated in scattered groups, their formations broken, their Alpha dead. Darius had challenged Zack as promised, and my mate had torn his throat out in less than three minutes.The rest of the Coalition forces had tried to press the attack anyway. That was when Drake and I showed them exactly what a mistake they had made."Aria." Zack's voice pulled me from the carnage. He approached in human form, covered in blood—most of it not his own. Through our bond, I felt his exhaustion warring with grim satisfaction. "The borders are secure. Coalition survivors are fleeing north. We won.""At what cost?" I gestured to the Silvermoon wolves being tended by healers. Thirty-seven injured. Twelve dead. Names I recognized, faces I had seen around the pack."Less than it would have been if you two had not come." Zack's ha

    I lasted six hours before I broke.Drake and I had been training relentlessly, pushing our merged abilities to new limits. But every time I drew on Zack's Alpha dominance through our bond, I felt his exhaustion, his stress, his preparation for a battle that could kill him."I cannot do this," I said, dropping the combat stance. "I cannot train here while he faces a war alone."Drake lowered his hands, rebirth energy flickering out. "Aria—""No. Listen to me." I turned to face him fully. "Zack is going to fight Darius and possibly die because the Coalition wants me. Because my existence threatens their comfortable order. And I am hiding here like a coward while he pays the price for my power.""You are preparing to face a dimensional threat," Drake argued. "That is not cowardice. That is strategy.""It is abandonment." The words tasted like acid. "In our first timeline, Zack abandoned me. Rejected me publicly, chose Selene, let me suffer alone. I swore I would never forgive him for tha

    The ritual would have to wait.We were halfway to the chamber when three wolves burst into the compound, their scents marking them as Silvermoon pack messengers. Blood matted their fur, and their eyes blazed with urgency."Alpha Zack," the lead messenger gasped, shifting to human form. "The Northern Coalition has mobilized. Five packs under Alpha Darius's command are marching toward Silvermoon territory. They will reach our borders in three days."Zack went completely still, his Alpha presence expanding until the air itself felt heavy. "Darius chose now? With everything happening?""He knows about Aria," the messenger said grimly. "Knows about the power she wields. The Coalition claims you are harboring a dimensional threat and demands you surrender her for containment. If you refuse, they will take her by force and destroy Silvermoon pack as collaborators."Through our bond, I felt Zack's fury colliding with tactical assessment. Five packs meant at least two thousand warriors. Silver

    I could not stop shaking.Four hours until the soul binding ritual, and my hands trembled so badly I had dropped three glasses of water trying to drink. Not from excitement or anticipation. From pure, primal terror that had been building since Kara mentioned the Devourer's accelerated approach."Breathe," Zack said, his hands steady on my shoulders. But through our bond, I felt his own fear bleeding through. The Alpha mask he wore for everyone else cracked when it was just us. "We are going to survive this.""You do not know that." My voice came out thin, barely recognizable. "The Architect said the Devourer has consumed billions of realities. Billions. Entire dimensions full of people who probably also thought they could survive. And they are just gone. Erased so completely they never existed."Drake appeared with a blanket, wrapping it around me despite the room being warm. "Your body is going into shock. The reality of what we are facing finally hit you.""Finally hit me?" I laughe

    Week three of training, and I woke up not knowing whose dream I had been experiencing.The memory lingered—running through snow-covered forests, hunting something that smelled of pine and blood. But I could not tell if it was my memory, Zack's, or Drake's. The partial merge we maintained even during sleep had started bleeding our subconscious experiences together."You were dreaming about my first hunt," Drake said quietly from beside me. He was already awake, ice-blue eyes tracking my confusion. "I felt you experiencing it. Felt your emotional response to my memory.""That should not be possible," I whispered, panic fluttering in my chest. "Dreams are supposed to be private. Individual.""Nothing about us is individual anymore." Zack's voice came from my other side, rough with sleep and something darker. "I spent half the night experiencing both of your memories simultaneously. Watched Drake's original timeline through his eyes while also feeling your emotions about your parents' dea

    Day seven of intensive training, and I could no longer remember what it felt like to be only myself."Again!" Kara's voice cut through the dimensional anchor chamber like a whip. "You are still hesitating at the merge point. Fifty-three seconds of separation between initiating the bond pull and achieving full consciousness integration. That delay will get you killed."I was on my knees, blood dripping from my nose. Beside me, Zack and Drake were in similar conditions—battered, exhausted, pushed past every reasonable limit. We had been training for sixteen hours straight, merging and separating dozens of times until the boundaries between us felt like wet tissue paper."We need a break," Zack growled, his Alpha dominance fraying at the edges."The Devourer will not give you breaks." Kara created new constructs, these ones radiating power that made my void-touched senses scream warnings. "It will attack when you are exhausted, broken, barely holding together. So you will learn to merge
