CHAPTER 101 — When the Ceiling Split and the World Fell

The sound was not a crack.

It was a tear—like the world itself being ripped open.

The stone overhead split in a blinding flash, the golden seal shattering into spirals of light and jagged rubble. A violent shockwave surged through the hall, throwing Aria backward. Killian lunged for her, arms outstretched—

But the floor buckled first.

“ARIA—!” Killian’s roar was devoured in the explosion of dust.

The ceiling collapsed.

Massive slabs of granite thundered down. The runic pillars flickered, then s

    The horn sounded again. Longer this time. Urgent. The kind of sound that didn’t mean scouts or warnings—it meant contact. Killian was already moving, lifting Aria fully into his arms as the fortress trembled faintly beneath their feet. Stone dust drifted from the ceiling as another distant impact echoed through the mountain. “That wasn’t a breach test,” Riven said grimly, drawing his weapon as they rushed up the stairwell. “That was pressure.” Aria pressed her palm against Killian’s chest, grounding herself against the violent hum of her magic. “They’re not attacking the walls.” Killian shot her a sharp look. “Then what are they doing?” She swallowed. “They’re pulling on the wards.” As if summoned by her words, pain flared along her spine—white-hot and sudden. Aria gasped, fingers digging into Killian’s shoulder. He snarled instinctively, slowing just enough to look at her face. “What’s happening?” “They’ve learned how the wards respond to me,” she said through clenched tee

    The chamber did not close when they left it.Aria felt that immediately.The weight followed her up the stairs, clung to her spine like a second shadow. The hum beneath the fortress deepened, no longer subtle—no longer patient. Whatever her mother had sealed was no longer content to sleep.Killian didn’t let go of her hand once.Not when they reached the upper halls.Not when the guards parted silently for them, eyes tracking Aria with a mixture of awe and fear.Not even when the first tremor rolled through the stone beneath their feet.It was faint—but it was real.Riven cursed softly. “That wasn’t structural.”“No,” Aria said. Her voice sounded distant to her own ears. “That was a response.”They reached the battlements just as the sky darkened unnaturally, clouds dragging themselves across the horizon like bruises spreading under skin. The wind picked up, sharp and metallic, carrying the same ancient scent from her dream—dust, ash, memory.Killian’s wolf stirred hard now, restless,

    The storm did not break.It circled.Aria stood at the window long after the thunder faded, watching the clouds churn in slow, deliberate spirals—as if the sky itself were thinking. The echo of her mother’s voice still rang in her bones, not loud, not fading.Waiting.Killian leaned against the doorframe, giving her space without leaving. He had learned that balance with her—how to guard without smothering, how to stay close without trying to control what could not be controlled.“You didn’t imagine it,” he said quietly. “Did you.”“No.” Her fingers curled against the cold glass. “It wasn’t memory the way dreams are. It was… stored. Like something pressed into the magic and left there for me to find.”“Or for you to inherit.”That made her turn.Killian’s expression was grim, thoughtful. “Old powers don’t disappear. They migrate.”Aria swallowed. “Then my mother didn’t just delay them. She redirected them.”Silence stretched between them, thick with implication.A sharp knock cut thro

    Dawn did not bring peace.It brought silence—the kind that pressed too hard against the ears, heavy and unnatural, as if the world itself was holding its breath after nearly breaking apart.Aria stood at the edge of the ridge long after the others had begun to move back toward the fortress. The ground where the fracture had sealed looked deceptively normal now—solid stone, damp earth, no sign of the violence that had ripped it open hours earlier.But she could still feel it.A faint echo beneath her feet.Waiting.Killian remained beside her, close enough that their shoulders brushed, his presence steady and grounding. He hadn’t let go of her hand since she’d returned—not when the healers checked her, not when the pack erupted into relieved chaos, not even now.“You’re shaking,” he said quietly.She flexed her fingers. “I’m not cold.”“I know.”She finally turned to face him. His eyes searched her face with an intensity that made her chest ache—not suspicion, not fear, but something r

    The second tremor did not fade.It deepened.Stone groaned beneath the fortress as if the land itself were waking from a long, violent sleep. Wolves spilled into the corridors, boots striking stone, voices sharp with command and fear held tightly in check.Killian was already moving.“Signal the ridge scouts,” he barked as they burst into the corridor. “No full shift unless I order it. This is not a charge—this is containment.”Aria kept pace beside him, cloak snapping behind her as the air thickened with magic. The calling sound came again, closer now, vibrating through her bones instead of her ears.It knew she was listening.“It’s pulling,” she said, breath tight. “Not tearing yet. Testing.”Killian glanced at her, eyes glowing faintly. “Can you tell how long before it breaks?”She shook her head. “Time doesn’t feel… straight around it. It’s bending.”They reached the outer gate just as Riven and the advance unit arrived, weapons drawn, faces set.“The anchors are active,” Riven sa

    The fortress did not sleep.Torches burned along the walls long past midnight, their flames steady despite the wind that swept down from the mountains. Wolves moved through the corridors with purpose—quiet, controlled, alert. No laughter. No unnecessary words. Everyone felt it now.The countdown.Aria stood at the edge of the training grounds, wrapped in a dark cloak, watching the moon climb higher. It was no longer just stained red at the edges. It was changing—as though something beneath its surface was pressing closer, testing the skin of the sky.Two nights.Her magic stirred again, stronger than before. Not wild. Not panicked.Focused.Killian approached from behind without a sound. He didn’t touch her at first—just stood close enough that she could feel the heat of him, the familiar grounding presence that steadied her heartbeat.“You’re not sleeping,” he said quietly.She shook her head. “Neither are you.”A corner of his mouth twitched. “Alphas don’t sleep before wars.”“This
