登入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
Before the Void Sovereign could react, Dominic moved with speed that defied physics.A sonic boom shattered the surrounding glass windows as Dominic crossed the cathedral in less than a heartbeat. His golden-infused fist slammed directly into the Void Sovereign’s chest, sending the shadow master flying through the bone-carved throne and crashing into the far obsidian wall in an explosion of black dust."Clara, save Marcus!" Dominic roared, turning back toward the floating sacrificial wheel.Clara was already in motion. She leaped into the air, her silver-fire whip extending ten yards into the darkness. The white-hot whip coiled tightly around the void chains, suspending Marcus above the blood orb."Burn!" Clara commanded.White-hot Northern Fire surged down the length of the whip. The void metal groaned under the extreme thermal heat before shattering into a shower of harmless sparks. Marcus’s unconscious body slipped free, plunging toward the stone floor below.Clara swept under him,
The toxic red light of the Blood Moon poured through the shattered cathedral ceiling like liquid poison.Dominic’s towering frame violently trembled on the icy stone floor. Pitch-black veins surged across his neck and broad, muscular chest, corrupting the pristine golden runes etched into his flesh. His breathing turned into a ragged, feral rasp as his gray eyes dissolved into an unholy, blood-soaked crimson. His jaw unhinged slightly, exposing six-inch golden fangs dripping with acidic saliva as his inner beast fought to rip its way out and slaughter the closest living being—his mate.“Yes! "Surrender to the bloodlust, Alpha King!" chortled the Void Sovereign. His dark voice echoed off the obsidian pillars. "Rip her throat out! Show her the monster you really are under the crimson moon!""Dominic... no..." Clara breathed.She didn't run. She didn't draw her silver whip.Instead, Clara dropped to her knees directly in front of him. The oppressive weight of his corrupting Alpha aura sl
