Morning found our mountains heavy with silence.

The storm had passed, leaving our world painted in white and gold. I drove up to my father’s mansion as the sun broke through the pines, my breath fogging in the cold air. I didn’t know why he’d called me so early, only that his tone over our link hadn’t sounded like an Alpha’s command, but a father’s plea.

When I entered his study, the fire burned low, and the scent of pine lingered in the air. The Christmas tree in the corner shimmered faintly, its lights a ghost of last night’s warmth.

He stood by the window, his back to me, a strong glass of bourbon in his hand.

“Close the door,” he said quietly.

I did.

“Dad… what’s going on?”

He didn’t answer right away. His shoulders were rigid, trembling slightly. Finally, he spoke, voice rough and unsteady.

“She kissed me.”

I blinked. “What?”

He turned, eyes glassy, not from his drink, but from something deeper.

“Lyra,” he said softly. “When she came to me… she placed her hand over my heart, and

  • Alora's Windsong   Chapter 93 Old Friends

    Lucas, Jaz, and Bella had been searching for hours.Sarah hadn’t answered a call in months, and the silence around her disappearance was too deliberate, too tidy. Students whispered about it, but no one had any real answers. She was there… and then she wasn’t.They checked every place she usually went: the stone benches by the library, the track behind the athletics field, the little bridge where she used to feed the ducks when she needed quiet.Nothing.Lucas dragged a palm over his face, tension tight in his jaw. “This is wrong,” he muttered. “She didn’t just leave. Sarah doesn’t vanish.”“She was still in the state hospital the last time we heard anything from her,” Bella reminded him, arms wrapped around herself. “And then suddenly she ‘got transferred’ and— poof — no record, no update, no forwarding anything. People don’t just disappear after a psych hold unless someone makes sure they do.”Jaz kicked a pebble off the walkway hard. “Her dad can’t tell us where she is, since he's

    “Let her come reckless,” Ryker said, voice steady. “She will find a solid wall.”Kira turned to Mara, Cline, Blaise, and Ryker. “I will begin Alora and Storm’s regimen tomorrow. Mara and Blaise will stand with me for every lesson. You both will tell me when her tricks smell wrong. You will tell me when the air tastes like the cabin, or like ash, or like fear that is not yours. Your insight is the map. My sorcery is the torch.”Mara nodded. “I will not fail them.”“You will not be alone,” Cline said.“You said us both?” Blaise asked.“Yes,” Kira watched him for a minute, then realized he didn’t know. “Your Cloaking powers are not your only powers,” Her fingertips touched his chest with her magic, pulling forward his other ability, “You're a Seer as well.”“Close your eyes.” he did what she asked.“Go back to the old Witch’s cabin.”He could see it in his mind.“Tell me what she is doing?”Kira asked."She's inside,” Blaise said as he walked through the closed door, and he saw her, scre

  • Alora's Windsong   Chapter 91 The Beginning of the End

    Mara lifted her chin. She did not look fragile. She looked claimed by fate. The silver chain Cline had given her lay at her throat like a promise. He touched two fingers to his heart, then to hers, and stepped back half a pace so Thorn could begin.Thorn — King of the Dark Fae — opened his right hand. Pale green fire gathered in his palm, shimmering like liquid emeralds. Kira opened her left. Moonlight pooled there, molten silver and impossibly bright.They did not mix the lights.They brought them close, closer still, until the air between them thickened — mist becoming veil, veil becoming mirror, mirror becoming doorway.Thorn’s voice carried the weight of blood and history:“By blood invoked.”Kira’s answer rose soft and solemn:“By oath remembered.”“By the elder groves and the hidden wells,” Thorn continued.“By the sky that keeps the secrets of the moon,” she replied.Mara did not close her eyes. She watched — awake, aware — as what was hers began to return.The veil quivered.

  • Alora's Windsong   Chapter 90 Crown of Light

    They chose the meadow below the south ridge, where the pines opened to sky and the mountain listened. Kira arrived first and laid her wards, shaped like ancient stones, forming a wide, silent circle that encompassed the entire clearing. The veil that rose from them bent light and sound until the world outside could no longer see inside.When Thorn stepped into the circle, the air itself shifted. Power rode in with him like a silent stormfront. His ash-colored cloak skimmed the grass behind him, and his antlered shadow rose tall at his back, a second crown that moved as if it had a life of its own.He took his place at the center, facing his beloved granddaughter. He smiled. She looked just like her mother.Mara stood before him, chin lifted, her long red curls stirring in the breeze as if recognizing their bloodline before her voice could. She did not tremble; she belonged there. There was courage in the set of her shoulders, and something older than fear in her gaze.Cline stood at h

  • Alora's Windsong   Chapter 89 Survivor’s Value

    Kira jolted awake, breath sharp, the vision still burning behind her eyes. She had seen through the Old Witch's plan. She had to go back. She knew what she needed to do now.The witch wasn’t done; she was stalking, waiting for the next opening, building her next strike around blood and memory. Kira saw it as clearly as moonfire: the witch wasn’t after Storm’s body next time.She was after his mind and his powers.And there was only one person alive who knew how that kind of darkness crept in before it devoured you.Mara!Kira sat up, cloak still wrapped around her shoulders, and she called Ryker immediately, immediately into the call, she explained, asking Ryker to send for her. “She will pivot,” Kira said without greeting, her voice urgent. “She no longer believes she must take him by force. She will try to weaken his anchor, his mother, and take him through her, like she did Mara. I need Mara; she is Cline’s mate. She’s the only one who understands the witch’s psychology from the i

  • Alora's Windsong   Chapter 88 Savage and Silk

    Cline wasn’t nervous; he didn’t get nervous, but this was different.He had led men into enemy fire, broken necks in silence, and walked out of hell alive. Yet standing across from Mara, watching her tuck one loose curl behind her ear as she waited for him to speak, he realized he had no training at all for this.They ate on the balcony of his room. The round stone table had been laid out by the house staff, A fresh white cloth, with plates and silverware. The bread was still steaming, Scrambled eggs and Hot cakes drizzled with butter and syrup, dark berries served in hand-carved bowls. A cold glass of milk for each of them with a copper kettle of coffee that sat between them, still hissing with heat.Mara’s fingers brushed the rim of her coffee cup as she lifted it, and Cline watched her small movements with the intensity of a man memorizing a map before battle, as she drank.Savage stirred low in his chest. *Easy,* Savage said, half-amused. *She’s not the enemy.*Cline ignored him
