CHAPTER 25 - Shattered Sanctuary

The transition back to full consciousness felt like being dragged through broken glass.

I collapsed against Zack, my body trembling as the last tendrils of dimensional contact released their grip. His arms locked around me immediately, his bond pulsing with relief so intense it nearly overwhelmed my senses.

"Never do that again," he growled against my hair. "Your heart stopped twice. Twice, Aria."

"I had to know," I managed, though my voice came out hoarse. "Had to understand what we are really facing."

Drake moved closer, his ice-blue eyes scanning me for damage. Through our dual bond, I felt his clinical assessment warring with genuine concern. "The dimensional strain nearly shredded your consciousness. You need rest before—"

The building shook violently, cutting off his words.

"We need to move," Elena barked, already heading for the exit. "Whatever protection this location had, it just failed. I can smell them coming."

"Smell what?" I forced myself upright, drawing on my integrated

    We emerged from the dimensional chamber to find the sanctuary in chaos."They are here," Elena gasped, blood streaming from a cut on her forehead. "The Council. They brought an army. And they are demanding you three surrender immediately or they will burn this entire compound to the ground."Through our merged consciousness, we processed the threat from three angles simultaneously. Zack's tactical assessment—approximately three hundred Council enforcers surrounding the compound. Drake's combat experience—heavy weapons, containment spells, kill orders for anyone who resists. My void-touched senses—something else was here too, something that felt wrong in ways I could not articulate."We do not have time for this," I said, frustration bleeding into anger. "The real threat arrives tomorrow. We need to—""You need to surrender." Councilor Thorne stepped through the compound's shattered gates, flanked by a dozen enforcers. Her silver hair was pristine despite the destruction around her, an

    The sanctuary felt different when we returned. Darker somehow, as if the compound itself sensed what was coming."You have six days," Kara said the moment we entered. No greeting, no acknowledgment of our victory against the Coalition. Just cold calculation. "Six days to complete the soul binding, master your merged abilities, and develop tactical approaches for fighting something none of us fully understand.""That is not enough time," Drake said flatly."It is the time you have." Kara led us deeper into the compound, past the normal training areas to a section I had never seen before. The walls here were covered in runes that seemed to shift and writhe, reality bending around them in nauseating ways. "This is the deep chamber. Where we train for the truly impossible."She pushed open massive doors, revealing a space that should not exist. The chamber was vast—easily the size of three football fields—despite the compound's exterior being nowhere near large enough to contain it. The c

    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
