Against All Odds Chapter 72. Chasing Celine’s magic
* Cerberus *The second she vanished, I felt the bond behind me weaken, Zeina. She sustained injuries from their fight. I wanted to stay. But I couldn't stop. Not yet.The moment I laid her gently into Beta Kael's waiting arms, locking eyes with my second-in-command, I spoke only a few words."I have to find her and make her pay!"Then I turned and ran.Through ash, blood, and smoke, I tore across the ruined field, past twisted corpses and cracked stone, following the fading stench of rot and magic. Celine's magic. It stained the air like decay, a vile perfume of madness and void.I pushed harder, faster, my body shifting mid-stride, fur exploding from my skin as I crashed through the dying forest at the battlefield's edge. Trees parted before me, some splitting in half under the force of my speed. My paws burned against the ground, claws carving into the soil as I chased the echo of her presence.She won't escape again.Not after what she did to Zeina. To our wolves. To me.The mount
Against All Odds Chapter 71. Zeina vs Celine
* Zeina *The Western Front. Moments Before the Storm. The world was fire and fang.I stood on the blood-soaked earth of the battleground, wind slicing through my fur like knives. My wolf form towered above the fallen, silver fur matted with blood, some of it theirs, more of it mine. The moon, high and indifferent, watched from behind black clouds as if even it feared what was to come.Across from me, Celine.She was no longer the woman I had once remembered as weak in the dungeons of the Alpha King. Not even the woman I'd known in the West with Robert. She was a creature now, cloaked in robes spun from shadow, her wolf mutated, longer, leaner, glowing with the same dark red magic that pulsed like veins of poison beneath her black pelt. Her eyes no longer blinked. They glared, glassy and possessed.Wolves of her twisted army circled the field like vultures, their empty sockets leaking smoke, undead enchantments crawling up their limbs. Behind me, Beta Aldin limped into a defensive sta
Against All Odds Chapter 70. Cerberus dreams and fears
* Cerberus *The wind howled like a beast in pain.Snow battered my shoulders as I pressed deeper into the mountain pass, my body screaming with every step. Ice cracked beneath my boots. My lungs burned, not just from the cold, but from the toll this cursed journey had taken. The magic here was raw, untamed, each step farther from the packlands, each heartbeat without my wolf, frayed the line between man and madness.One of the feral shadowbeasts that stalked the Hollow. It had lunged at me from a fissure in the mountain hours ago, fast, silent, driven by the same ancient rage that haunted this place. I'd killed it, but not cleanly. My magic pulsed erratically, the witchmark beneath my collarbone burning hotter each day. My wolf remained silent. Dormant.And yet it wasn't the silence of my wolf that worried me most. It was hers.Princess Zeina.The tether between us, a golden pulse that used to echo gently at the back of my mind, had dimmed.I reached inward, eyes closing against the
Against All Odds Chapter 69. Celine’s escape and warning
* Zeina *I woke with his name on my lips."Cerberus..."The warmth of the dream still clung to me, thick as velvet, his hands, his voice, that golden tether between us pulsing with desperate promise.But the moment I opened my eyes, I knew peace had already fled the room.My chamber door was ajar.Heavy boots echoed down the corridor, muffled voices carrying an edge I recognized too well, urgency. Trouble. A storm waking.By the time I sat up, Beta Kael was already standing at the threshold. His usually unreadable expression was cracked with concern, and behind him, a royal courier bowed low, visibly shaking."What is it?" I asked, rising to my feet in one smooth motion.Beta Kael stepped forward. "Your brother. The Alpha King. He sent word from the capital. It's urgent."My stomach clenched. "Speak."Kael's jaw tightened. "Celine has escaped."The room tilted slightly. The name hit like a blade."What?""She was in solitary confinement under enchanted wards, but when word of Robert'
Against All Odds Chapter 68. The bond link
* Zeina *The wind howled low across the Western Fortress, slipping through stone walls and catching in the high towers like a breath withheld. Snow swirled through the courtyard, fine as powdered silver, settling across the training grounds I refused to abandon. Each flake melted the moment it touched my skin, steaming against the fire that simmered just beneath the surface.I stood barefoot in the snow, the cold biting at my toes, grounding me in the moment. Around me, my warriors moved like shadows, barking commands, panting with effort.Every strike I made was too sharp. Every movement, too precise. Rage had become my rhythm. Discipline, my disguise. I moved like a leader, but felt like a ghost.When I turned abruptly, halfway through a form I could do blindfolded, my eyes locked on the horizon.East. Toward Mount Hollow. Cerberus.I couldn't see him. Couldn't smell him. Couldn't hear his voice, rough and steady and defiant. But something inside me shifted. A string pulled taut de
Against All Odds Chapter 67. Cerberus’s Journey
* Cerberus *The path up Mount Hollow was cruel.Not in the way battle was cruel, with blood and fire and the sharp taste of steel in your mouth, but in the way old things are cruel. The mountain didn't care that I had fought for her. That I had bled for her. That I had burned myself hollow just to keep her free.The mountain demanded more.Every stone I stepped on felt like a judgment. Every gust of wind carried whispers that might have once been words, or curses. I stumbled once, knees buckling on loose shale, catching myself with a hand skinned raw days ago. Dirus didn't slow. The bastard barely turned his head. His voice drifted back through the cold like smoke winding through a dying fire."You won't survive this climb on rage alone."I bared my teeth and dragged myself upright, my breaths coming ragged and sharp. "I've survived worse.""Not like this, boy." His staff struck the ground once, echoing in the thin air. "Not without your wolf."That hit harder than the cold.The sile
