تسجيل الدخولEric’s POVThe march toward Elise’s kingdom felt like walking toward my own execution.Thousands of Void creatures moved around me.Our white cloaks fluttered beneath the wind and silver markings glowed faintly on their skin.And every single one of them was prepared to die.I hated it.Moon Goddess, I hated every second of it.Bastian had been clever.Too clever.He knew I would never willingly attack my family.So he had given me something worse.If Mila could destroy the Void corruption infecting some of the soldiers and the void. If she could burn it away then maybe they could finally be free.The plan was insane and risky and it was exactly the kind of plan my family specialized in. My fingers tightened around the reins.Please work.Because if it didn’t thousands of people would die.The kingdom walls appeared on the horizon and I smiled slightly, somewhere beyond those walls was Elise.The mate bond pulsed softly and it was the strongest it had felt in weeks. My eyes burned.I
Hansel’s POVThe room smelled like herbs and drugs, I didn’t like it.It had been four weeks already, four long weeks of sitting beside Caleb’s bed.Four weeks of wondering if he would ever wake up.Mila had done her best to knit his flesh back and u had cast spells to stop the bleeding, but he didn’t wake up till now.“He should have woken up by now.” One of the doctors whispered “The damage was severe.”“We don’t know if he’ll recover.”Every single word had haunted me, I dipped the cloth into cool water then gently pressed it against Caleb’s forehead.Around us, the healer’s room remained quiet.Sunlight streamed through the windows, outside life continued.Inside, time had stopped for me, I squeezed the cloth“You’re an idiot.” I whispered I looked at his sleeping face.“You know that?”I smiled sadly and cleaned his face, “You scared everyone, especially Caleb.”My throat tightened. “You scared me.”The confession came out quietly. I wasn’t sure if I’d ever tell him otherwise.
Eric’s POVTime lost meaning in the dungeon. Days blurred into nights and all the nights blurred into weeks.The only thing that remained constant was the darkness.And the pain of course, at first, I counted the days with scratches on the wall and small marks beside my bed.A reminder that time still existed.nA reminder that somewhere beyond these walls, Elise was alive and looking for me.But eventually even that became impossible. The guards would move me between cells and the void creatures would destroy the markings.The darkness itself seemed to shift, nothing stayed the same except Bastian and the demon living inside him.I knew it now. I was certain of it.No human being could change so completely.No man could possess that much darkness without paying a price.Something lived inside him and was feeding off him, and every day it seemed stronger. Every day Bastian seemed less human.The realization terrified me not because of what it meant for him but because of what it meant f
Eric’s POvIt was so cold.My chest tightened as in tried to sit up and pain immediately shot through my body.Fuck!!The movement caused chains to rattle and my eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness. I looked around and I was in a dungeon.The walls were carved from black stone and strange symbols glowed faintly between the cracks.I remembered how the void creatures had taken me, I thought of Marie and prayed and she was safe.I leaned my head back against the wall.What did Bastian want? If all he’d wanted was a corpse, I’d already be dead.Which meant i was useful to him somehow.A groan echoed through the hallway and my eyes snapped toward the cell door then I heard footsteps approach.It sounded like theee of four people were headed to my cell, the cell door swung open and Bastian stepped inside.I immediately understood why people feared him.He looked human mostly and had an uncanny resemblance to Knox.But now dark veins appeared on his neck and face and he looked strange. D
Caleb’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
Knox's POV….Pain.That was the first thing I felt when I woke up.A dull, throbbing ache behind my eyes, like my skull had been split open and poorly stitched back together.I groaned and shifted slightly and I froze.Something wasn’t right.I opened my eyes slowly and everywhere was blurry before
Mila's POVI snapped out of my flashbacks and wore my jeans and top.I stood in front of the mirror in my room, staring at my reflection while tying my hair into a loose ponytail. My fingers moved automatically, but my mind was somewhere else entirely.I have to get pregnant.The word kept echoing
Mila's pov…..The sun dipped low over the lake, casting a golden shimmer across the water that danced like fireflies on the surface. The air was thick with the scent of pine and wildflowers, but all I could smell was my own heat as I whimpered in pain. "Please, Knox. Make it stop." I begged He s
Knox's POV….“This is ridiculous.”Conrad’s voice echoed across the training yard, sharp and irritated.I barely heard him.My mind was still stuck on the conversation from moments ago, replaying every word I had said about Mila.And the worst part?A small, ugly voice inside my head told me I had
