تسجيل الدخولThe subterranean cathedral shuddered violently as the subterranean floor split wide open. Massive granite slabs buckled and crashed into a dark, roaring abyss beneath the shattered altar."Clara!"Dominic didn't hesitate for a single second. Before the stone beneath her feet could crumble entirely, his heavy arm shot out, wrapping securely around her waist. He yanked her flush against his broad chest, tucking her head under his jaw and shielding her small frame with his massive body as they plunged into the darkness below.Wind whipped violently past them, tearing at the remains of Clara’s emerald silk dress. She wrapped her arms around Dominic’s thick neck, burying her face into the crook of his collarbone. The scent of him—dark chocolate, rich cedarwood, and rain-drenched earth—filled her lungs, instantly quelling the icy wave of panic rising in her chest. Even as they fell into the unknown, being held in his unyielding, possessive grip made her feel completely invincible.With the
Time slowed to an agonising crawl, the world around him fading into a blur.The pitch-black void-spear descended like a falling star, its tip screaming with concentrated dark magic that threatened to tear through flesh and spirit alike. Inches from Dominic’s heart, the air distorted with absolute zero cold.Dominic didn’t flinch. He didn’t even look at the weapon meant to kill him.His striking grey eyes—burning with a feral, crimson-gold storm—remained locked entirely on Clara as she collapsed onto the cold stone floor, golden blood trickling from her lips. The sight of his mate in pain ignited a savage, uncontrollable fury deep within his chest. His inner wolf roared, a primordial sound that shook the subterranean cavern to its very bedrock.With a speed that defied human comprehension, Dominic’s hand shot upward. He caught the shaft of the void-spear with his bare, rune-covered palm.Black void-fire hissed violently against his flesh, scorching his skin, but Dominic didn't make a s
Clara's veins pulsed with the divine energy of the Sun-Crest Blade, a starlight fluid that shimmered through her delicate skin in intricate golden patterns. But inside her mind, the divine vision unlocked by the blade was a nightmare written in blood and ash.Tears of pure shock welled in her amber eyes as she looked across the crumbling cavern at Dominic.Dominic’s jaw tightened, his towering six-foot-four frame rigid beneath his torn silk shirt. His dark, intoxicating scent—a rich mix of crushed cedar, smoked vanilla, and raw Alpha power—spiked with sudden, jagged panic. His emerald eyes looked into hers, through the heavy curtain of smoke."Clara..." Dominic's voice rumbled low, a guttural purr of warning and desperation that vibrated straight to the marrow of her bones. "Drop the blade if it’s hurting you. Come to me.""It isn't hurting me, Dominic," Clara whispered, her voice trembling over the deafening roar of falling stalactites. "It’s telling me the truth.""Tell him, Clara!"
Wind howled past Clara’s ears like a chorus of dying wolves.The void abyss was a vertical maelstrom of roaring purple lightning and crushing atmospheric pressure. Down below, Dominic was falling fast, dragged by the heavy iron void chain locked into his flesh. His golden Alpha aura flickered like a dying candle against the suffocating dark magic.Clara locked her limbs, tucking her head and diving faster through the thermal updraft. The scent of dark sulfur choked her throat, but beneath it was the only scent that mattered—Dominic’s signature aroma of rich cedar, wild rain, and burning amber.“Clara, no!” Dominic’s panicked voice roared across their mate bond, laced with pure terror. “Get back up! The void energy will devour your wolf!”“Shut up, Alpha!” Clara snarled back across the bond, her Northern Fire blazing along her veins until her silver hair glowed like molten starfire. “I told you—we bleed together or we rule together!”She extended her arms and caught him mid-fall.The m
Clara didn't hesitate for a single microsecond.She slammed her hand directly against the back of Dominic’s neck, her royal mark exploding in a blinding flash of white-hot plasma. She didn't just share her power; she poured her raw, unfiltered Rogue Queen aura directly into his bloodstream, acting as a massive thermal shield against Victor’s mental compulsion.“You bow to no one!” Clara screamed into their bond, her voice ringing with cosmic authority. “Not even your blood!”Dominic’s head snapped up. The golden light in his eyes reignited with apocalyptic fury, completely burning away Victor’s blood compulsion."You are no king of mine, Victor," Dominic snarled.Dominic hoisted Victor high into the air and slammed him back-first into the stone altar with force that cracked the entire foundation of the cathedral.The impact dislodged the central blood orb suspended above them. The massive crimson sphere shattered on the steps, flooding the floor with boiling, corrupted blood that sizz
The air in the ruined cathedral turned to liquid ice.Dominic stood frozen, his massive hands trembling around his brother's throat. The possessive, unstoppable Alpha King looked as if he had been struck by lightning. The dark void energy leaking from Victor’s chest painted terrifying shadows across his face, but the gray-gold eyes were unmistakably Vance blood—identical to Dominic's own."Victor..." Dominic’s voice cracked, dropping into an agonizing rumble that vibrated off the shattered obsidian pillars. "You died... I watched the Sun Palace burn to ash twenty years ago. I dug through the rubble with my bare hands for your body!""You watched what our father wanted you to watch, little brother," Victor sneered, his lips curling over blackened fangs. His Alpha aura exploded outward—not the pure, radiant gold of the royal throne, but a corrupted, suffocating mixture of pitch-black void magic and decaying cedar.The sheer weight of two royal Alpha auras colliding in the enclosed space
