The howl kept rolling through the dark long after the last echo of it should have faded, low and constant, and Caierre felt something answer it from inside his own chest—not his voice, not any sound at all, but a resonance, deep and unwelcome, humming in the same place the crimson kept flaring from."Caierre?" Alvar's voice cut through, urgent. "What's happening—"The crimson surged brighter this time, stronger than any flare before it, burning steady instead of flickering, and Caierre felt his knees buckle beneath a weight that had nothing to do with exhaustion. He went down hard onto the cold ground, gasping, one hand braced against packed earth while the whole camp blurred at the edges of his vision.A voice arrived, low and cold, unmistakably not his own.*Little heir.*Caierre's breath caught. It wasn't Fenrir's voice—nothing about it carried the warmth or grief that had marked every word the guardian had ever spoken to him. This was colder, patient in the way the creature beneat

The news reached them before the group had finished counting their wounded. More messengers arrived within the hour, each one carrying a worse account than the last—packs crossing borders they'd respected for generations, villages burning under torches lit in the name of a threat that had already died beneath Asterion's shattered plaza."Some blame the Mad Wolf's return," one runner reported, breathless, kneeling before the Warden and the gathered group alike. "Others have heard rumors of what happened at Vaelor. They blame the two of you directly. They believe you woke whatever's been tearing through their lands."Caierre felt the words land like a physical blow. "We didn't wake it. We ended it.""They don't know that," the old man said, grim. "And even if they did, I am not certain it would change anything at this point. Fear rarely waits for accurate information before choosing where to point itself."Alvar's jaw tightened. "Then we go correct it. In person, if that's what it takes

He woke slowly, the world returning to him in pieces—cold stone beneath him, Alvar's arms wrapped tight around his shoulders, the distant sound of shifting rubble somewhere beyond his closed eyes. When he finally opened them, the sky overhead had gone pale and gray, ordinary morning light filtering weakly through the shattered ice ceiling far above what remained of Asterion.The silence hit him before anything else did.He reached inward on instinct, the way he'd done a hundred times over the last several days without ever fully realizing he was doing it—searching for the low, warm presence that had lived behind his ribs since the pass, the grief and grumbling wisdom and quiet, protective warmth that had become as familiar to him as his own heartbeat.There was nothing there.Not silence in the way a held breath is silence, full of something waiting to speak. Empty silence. Absence, complete and total, like a room he'd lived in his whole life suddenly stripped of every piece of furnit

The light was already tearing everything apart when Fenrir spoke again, his voice steady despite the chaos ripping through the collapsing chamber around them."There is one truth I have not told you yet," he said. "Destroying the curse fully requires more than your choice alone, Caierre. It requires the first soul ever bound to it to willingly release the hold that has kept it tethered all this time. I am that soul. I am the beginning of everything this bloodline reached for and broke."Caierre's stomach dropped. "You mean you have to—""Let go," Fenrir said, gentle despite the violence tearing at the world around them. "Completely. Not simply step aside and watch you finish what your ancestors started. I must release what remains of myself into the unraveling entirely, or the curse will only fracture, not end.""No." Caierre grabbed for him, desperate, fingers closing around an arm that felt solid and real despite the storm of light and shadow raging on every side. "There has to be a

The city trembled harder, and this time it didn't settle back into stillness. Cracks spread across the sunlit sky overhead, thin fissures of black bleeding through the blue like ink dropped into water, and Fenrir's voice, when it came again, carried an urgency that hadn't been there a moment before."There is more truth you need before you choose," Fenrir said. "I have kept it from you, out of shame more than caution, and I no longer have the luxury of that shame.""Tell me," Caierre said."The curse was never an accident born of desperation alone," Fenrir said. "That much of what you were shown in the earlier trial was true, but incomplete. Vaelor's first rulers—your ancestors, generations before the king you watched sacrifice himself—did not stumble into forbidden magic through simple curiosity. They sought immortality. They believed that if they could bind my power fully into the royal bloodline, they could make that bloodline endless. Rule without succession. Rule without the fear

The seal closed around them the moment they stepped through, sealing off the plaza, the roar of battle, and the failing light of Asterion in a single silent instant. Caierre braced for darkness, for cold, for the crushing weight of whatever ancient prison had been waiting to finally consume the last of its captivity.Instead, he found himself standing in Vaelor.Not the ruins. Not the broken, buried streets they'd wandered through days ago, nor the burning chaos the trial had shown him during the king's final night. This was Vaelor whole, untouched, exactly as it must have looked before any of the horror had ever begun—sunlight warm over pale stone rooftops, streets clean and quiet, the distant, ordinary sound of a city simply existing without grief attached to a single stone of it."Where are we?" Alvar asked, his hand still locked tight in Caierre's, both of them turning slowly to take in the impossible stillness surrounding them."I don't know," Caierre admitted. "It doesn't feel l

“State your name, barbarian” Caierre shrugged, opening his bag sack and handing them his name plaque. Adrian let out a chuckle, moving forward towards the wolf warriors that stood by the gates to the Masbrook. “He can’t speak,” Adrian explained to the soldiers. It was true though, after witnessin

Did he just speak?The thought ran through him like a wildfire spreading through the shagani forest. He stared at those crimson eyes that stared back, confused yes.Who wouldn’t be? Caierre just blunted out the word mate to a stranger that he knew nothing aside from the fact that he was supposed to

‘It smells like sewers’That was the first thought that came to Caierre’s mind as he slowly opened his eyes. The room was almost pitch black except the little light that found its way through the half sized window.He touched his head that was spinning, his body felt like he was hit with a brick. A
