RONAN'S POV

The temple was really cold tonight. I could see my breath when I walked in. Like little puffs of smoke.

Nobody else was there. Just me and all the old stones and stuff.

I wasn't supposed to be here this late but I couldn't sleep. My brain wouldn't stop thinking about Elara. About how sad she looked when Kael walked away. About everything that happened today.

My shoes made loud sounds on the floor. Echo. Echo. Echo. Like the temple was saying something back to me.

I saw this door I never went through before. It was behind the big stone table where they do ceremonies. The door was open a tiny bit. Maybe someone forgot to close it all the way.

I pushed it and it made a really loud creak sound.

Inside was super dusty. It made my nose tickle. There were lots of shelves with old books and papers rolled up. Some looked so old they might break if you touched them.

But then I saw something weird.

A rolled up paper sitting on a table by itself. It looked different. Not as old as th

    ELARA'S POV"The kitchen window goes here. East-facing, morning light.""That's the worst spot." Kael crossed his arms. Alpha stubborn. "Too much sun. Food will spoil faster.""It's perfect for moon herbs. They need dawn light.""Then put the herbs outside. Kitchen needs practical placement."Wanted to throw something at him. Settled for glaring. "This is my kitchen—""Our kitchen," Ronan interrupted. Stood between us. Again. "And it's going on the south wall. Compromise. Gets light all day. Happy?"We both grumbled. But nodded.Normal argument. Domestic. About window placement.Cried that night. Tears of relief. Because we were fighting about mundane things. Not life or death. Not shadow corruption. Just... windows.Construction started three weeks ago. Village craftsmen helped. Good wolves. Skilled. Respectful.They worked fast. Foundation complete in days. Walls rising now. Roof frame visible.Simple design. Three bedrooms. Common area for pack time. Kitchen. Workshop space for my

    KAEL'S POVThree weeks searching, visiting territories, seeing options and yet nothing felt right.First place was the city, in the large pack were thousands of wolves. They offered us an entire district. Mansion. Servants. Seats on their Council."You'd be honored guests," the city Alpha said. Eager. Too eager. "Permanent positions. Respected. Protected."Elara looked uncomfortable. The baby pup fussed. I didn't like the noise. The crowds. The constant attention."We'll consider it," I said. Polite lies.Left the next day.The second location was smaller. Town of maybe five hundred. Still too much. They wanted us to lead. Become their Alphas. Take over their pack."You're heroes," their elder said. "Natural leaders. We need someone like you.""We're not looking to lead," Ronan said. Firm. "Just looking to live."They didn't understand. Keep pushing. Keep offering. Titles. Land. Power.We left.Third place was a village. Hundred people maybe. Quieter. But they treated us like legends.

    ELARA'S POVThe final journey took six weeks. Hit twelve remote locations. Each one is different. Each one challenging.The first stop was a mountain village. High peaks. Isolated. Snow everywhere.But the snow wasn't normal. People froze inside it. Not dead. Just suspended. Shadow had merged with ice somehow. Trapped them mid-motion."They're alive," Ronan said. Sensing with his Alpha abilities. "Barely. Heartbeats slow. Almost stopped."Kael circled the frozen villagers. Wolf instinct assessing threat. "How do we thaw them without killing them?"The baby pup reached out. Light pulsed from her tiny hands. Touched the nearest frozen person.The ice melted slowly. Carefully. The person gasped. Collapsed. Alive.We spent three days there. Thawing everyone. Teaching the local pack how to prevent it from happening again. Left light-bearers behind. Established anchors.The second location was worse. Island settlement. Ocean pack. Fishers and traders.The Shadow Blight had corrupted the sea

    ELARA'S POVThe morning after the ceremony, the sun was barely up, already people were waiting outside our rooms.Not celebrating anymore, these ones looked desperate, opened the door. A woman stood there. Middle-aged, leaning on a crutch. My left leg ended at the knee."Please," she said. "They said you could heal anything. Can you... can you give me back my leg?"My stomach dropped. "The disease took it?""Shadow corruption. Spread so fast. Healers had to remove it or I'd die." Her eyes pleaded. "But you purified the shadow. Can't you reverse what it did?"I wanted to say yes. I wanted to promise miracles."I can't reverse what's already gone. I'm sorry."Her face crumpled. "But you're the champion. You saved everyone.""I stopped the disease. But what it already took..." Shook my head. "Some things can't be healed."She left crying. Broke something in my chest watching her go.More came throughout the day. Man with chronic pain. A girl who couldn't speak anymore. A boy who lost his

    KAEL'S POVThree days on the road to the capital, should've been a grim journey, I expected more deaths. More suffering.It wasn't like that.The first village we passed through had fields. I remembered them from months ago. Barren then. Brown. Dead.Now green shoots pushed through the soil. Small. Fragile. But alive.Farmers worked the land. Smiling. Actually smiling while they planted."Look at that," Elara said. Wonder in her voice."The land's healing," Ronan observed. "Stage three is starting already."The second village was louder. Children playing in the streets. Running. Laughing. A sound I hadn't heard in too long.An older woman sat outside her house. Knitting. Humming."Excuse me," I called to her. "How long have the children been playing again?"She looked up. Face wrinkled but eyes bright. "Week maybe? Fever broke. They got strong enough to run around." Smiled. "Thank the gods. Thought we'd lost them all.""The gods," I repeated. "Right."Moved on. More villages. More si
