The second wave came before the wounds of the first had even begun to scab.

The Hollow sky split wider, bleeding black flame over the Vale. The air shook as if the heavens themselves cracked, and from that wound spilled creatures no longer made of mist and nightmare, but of war. They wore bone-forged armor, carried blades still dripping with shadowfire, and moved with the hunger of soldiers who knew only one command: consume.

The Vale’s defenders tightened their ranks, though half had barely survived the last assault. Farmers wielded rusted spears beside paladins, their eyes wide, their hands trembling. Mothers clutched talismans, whispering prayers to stars that no longer shone.

Elira stood at the front lines, her body screaming against her, her magic burning ragged. She had been fire for days, had slept with flame licking her veins, and now only embers clung to her. Her palms glowed faintly gold, but the light flickered. Her breath was ash.

Ruby stood just beyond her shoulder, the A

  • Beast Billionaire Claim    CHAPTER NINETY-ONE: The Dawn That Forgot

    The battlefield was too quiet. That was the first thing I noticed. No ringing steel, no howling throats, not even the dying. Just the wind dragging smoke through broken walls, stirring the smell of ash and blood into the air.My chest hurt with every breath. Victor was gone, his shadow broken apart like glass under fire, but the hole he left wasn’t victory. It was a silence that scraped at the edges of my ribs, too deep to be patched, too wrong to name.Ruby was the first to move. Her sword lifted above her head, streaked red and black, her crimson hair plastered to her face with sweat. The survivors—the packs of Silver & Vale, Bloodwood, every allied line that hadn’t been ground to dust—answered with a shout. Thin. Desperate. A sound more about proving they were still alive than celebrating. Ruby’s smile was sharp, for them, but when her eyes flickered my way, they were empty.Maxim came out of the smoke like something carved out of ruin itself. His shoulders were squared, his beast

  • Beast Billionaire Claim    CHAPTER NINETY: The Crown Of Silence

    I didn’t walk into the Hollow. I walked into forgetting.The realm of silence spread before me like an endless ocean of white ash. No walls. No ceiling. No sound. Just a vast, aching stillness that pressed against my skin until I couldn’t tell where I ended and the Hollow began.Maxim’s hand brushed mine as we stepped deeper in. Even here, where reality was unraveling, his beast clung to me. His claws had faded, but his golden eyes still burned, anchored on me as if he knew—instinctively—that he might lose me in more ways than one.“Zara,” he said, but the word fractured, half-swallowed by the Hollow.I tightened my grip on his fingers. “I’m here.”But Elira was already ahead of us. The Crown of Silence floated above her, not a crown of gold or bone, but a circlet of pure void, each point a shard of nothing that cut through the white haze. The closer she drew, the more the Hollow quivered, as if bracing for the wound her choice would open.“This is it,” she whispered, her voice carryi

  • Beast Billionaire Claim    CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINE: The Door Of Silence

    Some promises break your heart just by being kept.The battlefield smelled of iron and ash, smoke curling from shattered wards and broken sigils. The Hollow loomed ahead, its black stone arch rising like the mouth of a god that had never once known mercy. Behind me, Ruby’s breathing was ragged, half a sob, half a growl.“Don’t you dare,” she hissed. Her fingers clutched my sleeve, trembling. “Zara, don’t even think it. There has to be another way.”Her fear cut deeper than the claws that had raked across my ribs minutes ago. Ruby, who had walked with me through fire and betrayal, who had stood between me and Victor’s schemes, was breaking in front of me.“Elira knows,” I said softly, though my throat burned. “She always did.”Ruby’s eyes flashed, wet and furious. “Then let her be wrong for once. Let her carry the curse, let Maxim—let anyone else—but not you. Not you, Zara.”But Elira was already moving.She stood before the Door, silver hair wild in the wind, her palms slick with bloo

  • Beast Billionaire Claim    CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT: The Beast's Vow

    The battlefield had gone eerily still, as if the Hollow itself were holding its breath. Ruby’s declaration still hung in the air like smoke—“If I must be queen of the Hollow, then let me be its last.” Her voice was the sound of ash and fire colliding, and it left a scar on everything it touched.Maxim staggered in the silence that followed. His claws sank into the fractured stone, each movement gouging fresh scars into the cavern floor. Shadows rippled across his skin, surging and receding like tides that threatened to swallow him whole. His beast form loomed, too large, too jagged, a thing torn from ancient prophecy and nightmare. He wasn’t just a wolf anymore. He was something born of curse and crown, a creature meant to end kingdoms with a single roar.“Zara,” he rasped, her name ripped from between fangs that barely fit his mouth. The sound was half-growl, half-plea. “You shouldn’t—”“I already did.” She cut him off with fire in her eyes. Her chin lifted, her pulse wild but unbrok

  • Beast Billionaire Claim    CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN: The Hollow Queen

    Zara’s final whisper lingered in the smoke-thick air, fragile as a thread stretched too tight. Her silver weave burned across the battlefield, anchoring memories where silence would have swallowed them whole.And beyond her light, Ruby screamed.It wasn’t the scream of pain, nor of fear—it was fury, raw and terrible, as the Ashen Crown scorched down her brow. Fire burst from her in wild rings, not just the flame she had inherited from Kael, but something darker, heavier. The Hollow’s hunger surged through her veins, turning her fire to shadow-flame.The battlefield recoiled. Men who had fought without pause for hours now staggered back, shields raised in trembling hands. Some cried out, others dropped their weapons altogether. To their eyes, Ruby Vale—the woman who had carried them through endless nights of blood and smoke—was gone. What stood in her place was crowned in silence and hunger, more monster than queen.“Elira,” Maxim growled, his beast-voice fraying through his throat, cl

  • Beast Billionaire Claim    CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX: The Keeper Of Memory

    The battlefield did not quiet. It never did. Even in the brief pauses between charges, the air was thick with the hiss of Hollow-born shadows, the wet rattle of broken men trying to breathe, the roar of Maxim’s half-caged Beast. Fire still burned in trenches where Elira had split the earth itself, and beyond it the Hollow’s gate pulsed—an endless wound in the sky, promising only hunger.Zara stood in the middle of it all, still as a needle poised above cloth. Her eyes weren’t on the battlefield anymore; they were turned inward, to the place where her threads reached.“Elira,” she said softly, almost as if she hadn’t meant to speak aloud.I turned, my hands still seared from the last spell I had unleashed. She was pale—more than pale. The glow that usually shimmered under her skin was dull, like starlight dimmed by smoke.“Don’t.” My voice cracked with the warning I hadn’t yet formed. “Don’t you dare.”She smiled faintly. It wasn’t the smile of victory. It was the kind you give when yo
