BLOOD & RHYTHM Chapter 50: Who Is the Guilty One?
The revelation came from an unexpected source.We had returned to the small apartment after the Council's judgment, both of us exhausted, both of us grieving losses that felt too large to name. Alexander sat on the edge of the bed, his head in his hands, his shoulders slumped in a way I had never seen before. The bond was quiet, muted, as if he had pulled back from me to process his pain alone.I gave him space. I made tea I did not drink and stared at walls that did not change. The hours passed slowly, marked only by the distant sounds of the city and the soft rhythm of his breathing.Then the knock came.
BLOOD & RHYTHM Chapter 49: Defense
The Council chamber had grown colder since we left.Perhaps it was my imagination. Perhaps the torches had burned lower, or the stone walls had leeched the warmth from the air. But as Alexander led me back through the doors, summoned once more to face his accusers, I felt a chill that had nothing to do with temperature.Seraphina sat on her throne, her white hair gleaming in the torchlight, her red eyes fixed on Alexander with an intensity that made my skin crawl. The other Council members watched from their chairs, their faces unreadable, their hands resting on the table before them."You have been summon
BLOOD & RHYTHM Chapter 48: Before the Council
The walk back to the manor felt longer than it should have.Alexander had not been inside since Dorian took possession. The Council had ordered him to appear before them in the place where he had once ruled, a final humiliation meant to remind him of everything he had lost. I watched his face as the familiar gates came into view, the ironwork dark against the gray sky. His expression did not change, but I felt his grief through the bond, sharp and deep, the loss of a home that had been his for centuries.The guards at the door did not bow to him. They stepped aside, their faces hidden behind the same white masks, their hands resting on weapons I did not want to identify. Alexander walked through the entrance without
BLOOD & RHYTHM Chapter 47: The Council's Wrath
The message arrived at dawn.Alexander and I had barely slept. The hours at the hospital had drained both of us, him more than me. The blood loss from the werewolf territory had not fully replenished, and the stress of facing my mother's questions had taken its own toll. He sat in the corner of our small apartment, his eyes closed, his breathing slow and shallow. I watched him from the bed, counting the minutes until the sun rose and we could leave again.The knock on the door was soft, almost polite. Three quick raps, then silence. Alexander's eyes opened immediately. He was on his feet before I could move, his body positioned between me and the door.
BLOOD & RHYTHM Chapter 46: Mother's Suspicion
The tests took hours.Dr. Patel came and went, her expressions shifting from confusion to amazement to something that looked like professional disbelief. She took blood samples, ran scans, checked every vital sign she could measure. Each result came back the same. My mother was healthy. Not just healthy, but robust. Her body, which had been failing for years, was now functioning better than it had in decades."I cannot explain this," Dr. Patel said, standing at the foot of the bed with a tablet in her hands. "The tumors are gone. Not reduced, not in remission. Gone. Her blood work shows no trace of cancer. Her organs are functioning at levels I would expect from a woman half her age."
BLOOD & RHYTHM Chapter 45: Mother's Hope
The hospital had not changed while we were gone.The same fluorescent lights buzzed overhead. The same smell of antiseptic and fear hung in the air. The same nurses walked the corridors with their practiced calm, their eyes avoiding the rooms where hope went to die. I pushed through the doors with Alexander beside me, the box containing the root pressed against my chest like a lifeline.Dr. Patel met us at the elevator. Her face was drawn, the shadows under her eyes darker than I remembered. "She has been asking for you. Waking and sleeping, she calls your name. I think she knows.""Knows what?"
