Chapter 12

Author: Crystal K
Evelyn's POV

The beast fell with a deafening crash, and Austen collapsed with it.

I stared at the horrifying wound in his chest, blood pouring out.

His life force was draining away.

"Austen!"

I rushed over and knelt beside him.

Silver healing light poured from my palms, desperately trying to repair the damage.

But it was too severe.

The claws had pierced his heart and torn through his lungs. Even my power couldn't fully mend it.

"Dammit..." I gritted my teeth, pushing more energy into the healing.

I hated that a part of me was relieved to see him. I wanted nothing to do with him. Ever.

But he had saved us. And I was a healer. I couldn't let him die.

"Master Evelyn!"

A shout came from the distance. The Alliance rescue team had finally found us.

"Quick! Help me get him to the tent!" I yelled to my approaching comrades.

Several healers rushed forward, carefully lifting the unconscious Austen.

"He's hurt badly," a senior healer said, examining the wound. "He needs immediate treatment."

    I stared at his translucent form, my heart clenching painfully."Austen..." I wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in my throat.His form grew more transparent, the golden light beginning to spread outwards."Don't be afraid," he managed a final smile. "This time, I'll take her away for good."As he spoke, his soul erupted in a blinding golden light.The light was as brilliant as the sun, illuminating the ruins like it was day.I saw the remnants of the dark god's power trying to re-form.But Austen's soul transformed into a golden chain, wrapping tightly around the dark energy."You can't escape," his voice echoed in the light. "This time, we disappear together.""No! I haven't finished my revenge!" Seraphina's desperate scream came from within the dark god."Revenge?" Austen laughed coldly. "You've already lost. Completely."The golden light grew brighter and brighter, finally dissolving into a shower of stardust.Austen's soul, dragging the dark god with it, dissipated

    Evelyn's POVGolden flames erupted from Austen, clashing violently with the dark god's black energy.The entire hall trembled."A soul sacrifice?" the dark god cackled. "You think that can stop me?""Not stop," Austen's voice came from within the flames. "Imprison.""I will use my Alpha soul as an eternal cage!"His body began to turn translucent as his wolf burned away.His life force drained like a tidal wave, but his will was as strong as steel."What?" For the first time, the dark god showed fear. "Impossible! You can't do this!""I can," Austen gritted his teeth, pouring more of his soul's essence into the fire. "For her, I can do anything."I stared at the scene before me, stunned.This man, who had betrayed and hurt me.Now, he was burning his own life to protect me."Austen..." I reached out, trying to touch him.But my hand passed through his transparent form.He was no longer a being of flesh and blood, but a pure flame of soul."Don't come closer!" he looked back at me, his

    Evelyn's POVSeraphina's mad laughter echoed through the hall.She opened her mouth, and I saw her bite down on something.CRACK.A sharp, breaking sound."A Soul-Binding Stone!" Liam yelled, his face white with horror. "She shattered it!"My blood ran cold. It wasn't just a trigger. It was a sacrifice. The array wasn't just a trap. It was a summoning circle."Everyone, get out!" I yelled at the crowd. "Evacuate now!"But it was too late.The floor of the hall began to glow, and countless complex runes emerged from beneath the stone.The runes covered the entire hall, forming a massive summoning circle."Twelve years!" Seraphina laughed, spitting blood. "I've been preparing for twelve whole years!""From the day I first set foot in this pack, I have been carving this array into the ground, piece by piece!"The sky began to change.The once clear blue sky turned a sickening blood-red.Dark clouds roiled, and lightning flashed."By my blood! By my soul!" Seraphina screamed as her body be

    Evelyn's POVThe Grand Hall of the Black Forest Pack was packed with hundreds of pack members and representatives from other territories.The massive "Mirror of Truth" floated in the center of the hall, glowing with a pure, silver light.This legendary artifact could detect any lie, making the truth unavoidable.I sat in the witness box, watching the whispering crowd below.Many were still discussing the online rumors about me, their gazes filled with suspicion and hostility."This trial is now in session!"Austen stood at the judgment platform, his voice echoing through the hall."The accused today: Seraphina Nightshade."Seraphina was brought forward.She wore a white dress, her face pale, her eyes filled with wronged tears.Even now, she was still playing the innocent victim."I've done nothing wrong," she sobbed to the audience. "I just wanted a safe place to raise my child..."A few sympathetic murmurs rose from the crowd."Look how pitiful she is...""She must have been framed...

    Evelyn's POV"Master Evelyn, there's an urgent message."Liam entered my office, holding a black-sealed letter.I put down my healing notes and took it.The envelope was stamped with the Black Forest Pack's crest and sealed with the silver wax used for mourning.I tore it open. Inside were two documents.The first was an obituary:"The Old Alpha of the Black Forest Pack, Austen Black Sr., has fallen into a permanent coma due to an irreversible collapse of his wolf."The Old Alpha...I remembered his gentle smile as he placed the Moonlight Necklace around my neck, and a wave of sadness washed over me.The second was a formal invitation:"We cordially invite Master Evelyn of the Healers' Coalition to serve as the chief witness in the trial of Seraphina Nightshade. Time of trial: three days from now. Location: The Grand Hall of the Black Forest Pack.""A trial for Seraphina?" Liam leaned over to read. "Austen finally decided to investigate her?"I read the final line aloud. "'The trial wi

    Austen's POV"Alpha! It's your father!"The steward burst in, his face ghost-white. "He collapsed!""What happened?" I was on my feet before the words were fully out."The rumors, Alpha," the steward choked out. "The ones about Luna Evelyn. He saw them, and he just..."I didn't wait to hear the rest. I bolted out the door.When I arrived at the sanatorium, my father's head physician was already waiting for me."Alpha, your father's wolf had a severe fluctuation," the doctor's expression was grave. "We suspect it was triggered by emotional distress...""Out of my way!" I pushed past everyone and rushed into the room.My father lay on the bed, his face ashen, his breathing ragged.But his eyes were open. When he saw me, he struggled to reach out a hand."Austen..." his voice was a faint whisper. "Those things... about Evelyn... they're not true, are they?"I knelt by his bed, gripping his frail hand."They're not true, Father. All of it is lies.""I knew it..." he gave a bitter smile. "T
