تسجيل الدخولCaleb’s POVSomething was wrong, My wolf could feel it.I stood outside our temporary camp, staring at the distant mountains while the warriors prepared supplies around me.Across the clearing, Henshaw was sharpening his blade.The warrior looked calm.The only kind of calm that came from people who had survived too many wars and were dissociating.I hated that look, because I saw it crudest when I looked into the mirror.A messenger hawk landed nearby. Immediately every warrior froze, I stepped forward, untied the message and read it.My stomach dropped.“What is it?” Henshaw asked.I handed him the note and his expression darkened instantly.Stay put. Do not advance. Return orders pending.—KnoxI frowned. That wasn’t like Knox not unless something serious had happened, something must have gone wrong with the plan.Henshaw folded the note.“Change of plans then.”The warriors nearby immediately began reorganizing without complaints.Everyone trusted Knox Including me but unease sett
Mila’s POV…..I heard shouts coming from thr healers tent “What’s going on?” Rina asked sounding very weak.Two battles in two days were taking a toll on me, just then someone screamed “ERIC!”I turned immediately. The scream came from the healers room.And then a loud cry, without thinking, I ran towards there and Hansel was right behind me.We burst through the doors and saw Elise on her knees wnd she was crying whike Marie held her also sobbing.Sasha had tears in her eyes too, Elise got up suddenly and her hands gripped Marie’s shoulders so tightly that her knuckles were white.“Tell me where he is!” Marie looked awful.She was bruised and covered in death and blood, her usual sassy expression was gone replaced by fear and sorrow.The sight alone made my heart drop. Because Marie never looked defeated like this before“Elise” “Tell me!”Elise shook her. “Tell me where Eric is!”The room fell silent, every warrior present looked away. Nobody wanted to witness this.Marie closed
Marie’s POVSomething was wrong. I felt it before anyone said a word before the messenger even arrived.I stood outside our command tent, staring toward the eastern mountains as soldiers moved through the camp.Everyone looked exhausted, weeks of fighting had taken their toll. Three kingdoms had already been attacked.The war was advancing faster than any of us had expected but so was the cost.Footsteps approached and I knew it was Eric.I didn’t need to turn around to know it was him.His scent reached me first.“You’ve been standing here for ten minutes.” He said I sighed. “I know.”“Worried?”I nodded and his expression softened.“What happened?”Before I could answer, a horn sounded near the entrance to camp, it was a messenger.Immediately my stomach tightened.Messengers rarely brought good news these days.The rider was exhausted and his horse looked even worse.The man practically fell from the saddle and several soldiers rushed forward. The message was delivered.The comma
Elise’s pov Two victories were good, Sasha and I had to maintain the score.But right now, I wasn’t so sure, The battlefield was stained with blood and the screams of the warriors echoed across the valley as steel crashed against steel.This wasn’t supposed to happen. Our mission had been simple.Take the third kingdom, destroy Bastian’s forces and move on.That had been the plan.I ducked beneath a sword swing and drove my blade into a soldier’s chest. The man collapsed and another one rushed towards me immediately.Then another.Then another.There seemed to be no end to them.Around me our warriors fought desperately.The enemy had been prepared for us, far more prepared than expected.And now the battlefield had become a slaughterhouse Bastian has sent void reinforcements to us.“Elise!” Sasha screamedI turned to look at her. She fought her way toward me through the chaos covered in blood.The moment she reached me our backs connected instinctively. She blocked an attack from
Knox’s pov The first kingdom had fallen. The news reached us just before dawn.A messenger arrived covered in dust andbexhausted from riding through the night.The moment he delivered the report, the entire war camp erupted in cheers, Mila and Hansel had done it.One kingdom was reclaimed. Five were left.I stood over the war table inside our command tent, studying the next target.The Kingdom of Theron, it was a larger kingdom and better fortified and far more important.If we took Theron, we’d cut off two of Bastian’s major supply routes.Which meant this battle couldn’t be sloppy.Across from me, Elliot leaned against a table reading the report and a grin slowly spread across his face.“Hansel is showing off.” He saidI snorted.“When doesn’t she?”“Fair point.”He tossed the scroll onto the table. The parchment landed beside the map. The red markings seemed to glow beneath the lantern light.Outside the tent, soldiers were already preparing for our next war, I sharpened my we
Mila’s pov..The war had begun.Attacking Bastian’s forces was the first best step so he is also defenseless and had no option than to come out and face us.I sat on my horse at the front of our army and stared at the towering walls in the distance.The Kingdom of Varek.The first of the six kingdoms Bastian had conquered and it was our first target.We had everything ready, soldiers and other soldiers who would use guns and explosives.Beside me, Hansel sat calmly on her black horse with her expression was unreadable.I glanced at her “Not using a car?” I asked her and she chuckled “I prefer a horse so I can look badass while doing it” I laughed and stretched out my hand “Stay alive” I said “Sure do” was all she said Hansel pointed toward the walls.“Archers.” She called out Immediately our commanders moved. The army shifted and hundreds of archers stepped forward.The enemy noticed instantly and trumpets and horns sounded from the walls.Shouts erupted.Hansel raised her swor
Mila’s POV…..I sang a song my dad would always sing for me when I was down after being bullied in school and tears filled my eyes. I miss you dad , I whispered Rina stirred faintly in my mind, sensing my sadness.I swallowed the tightness in my throat.“Stop,” I whispered to myself. “You’re no

Mila's pov….I woke up slowly today.Hansel my annoying service maid didn't come to bang in my ears today.I had to wake up or Isobel would have my head.My eyes snapped open.Sunlight poured through the tall windows, turning the pale curtains gold dust motes floated lazily in the air.I groaned s
Mila’s POV…..BANG BANG BANGThe banging on my door sounded like someone was trying to break it down.I jolted awake my heart racing.“Luna! Wake up!”The voice was sharp, impatient, and far too loud for this early morning.I groaned and buried my face in the pillow.Maybe if I ignored them, they
