Juliette’s POV

The arena was quieter than usual that evening, the low hum of the cooling systems echoing across the empty seats. It should have calmed me, but instead, it made every sound—every footstep, every distant scrape of a skate—louder, more alarming. My hands shook slightly as I carried the kit bag across the polished floors. My chest tightened with each step. I didn’t know if it was fear, anticipation, or a mix of both, but I knew one thing: the tension that had been building between

  • Claimed by the wolves.   Chapter 149 — The Morning After.

    Juliette’s POV: The first light came quietly. Soft, hesitant, brushing across the treetops like a whisper. The world smelled of damp earth, pine, and something else.. freedom.I opened my eyes slowly. For the first time in what felt like lifetimes, I didn’t feel the weight of the land pressing through me. The Warrior still hummed beneath my ribs, a gentle pulse, like a heartbeat finally at rest.The chamber was gone. The spiral of sigils, the stone walls, the witnesses… all had faded into the forest itself. Roots peeked through cracks, moss softened every edge, and sunlight poured through the canopy in golden threads, catching dust motes that danced like embers suspended in air.Bryan knelt beside me, his hand warm against mine. “You… you really did it,” he whispered, awe threaded through exhaustion.Liora was laughing softly, tears slipping down her cheeks, catching in the morning light. She hugged me so tight I could barely breathe. “You brought it back. You..” she stopped, shaking

  • Claimed by the wolves.   Chapter 148 — The Dawn of Blackridge.

    Juliette’s POV:The ground beneath me opened, a black, empty void. The sigils spun in furious patterns around the void, slicing the air with light that burned without warmth. The presence of the land pressed in from all sides, patient, absolute, like a tide of centuries waiting to erase me.“You are an error,” it said. A voice older than Rowan, older than Lucien, older than the first wolf to ever claim Blackridge. It did not care for identity, for memory, for love. It cared only for order.I could feel the Warrior tighten inside me, holding, shielding, bracing. My own voice had no power here. My mind, my flesh, my soul — the land ignored them all. It wanted only the axis to submit, to be remade, to become function, tool, structure.I had a choice: let it take me… or fight.I clawed inward. Not outward, not at the land, but at myself. I pulled at every shred of memory, every thread of attachment. Faces. Names. Pain. Love. Loss. History. Joy. Fear. Identity. I wrapped them around my s

  • Claimed by the wolves.   Chapter 147 - The Severing.

    Juliette’s POV:The White did not fade.It merely collapsed into structure.Into geometrical lines..Into pressure and pattern and shape and design.My body no longer felt like a body or like it was even mine.It felt like something the land referenced instead of touched.The sigil burned right through my chest, but it wasn’t heat, or even pain, it felt more definitive. Like my existence was being rewritten in a language older than anything I’d ever came across. My heartbeat desynced from time.I could feel Blackridge.Not emotionally or spiritually like before.More geographically.. does that even make sense?Every root.Every ward.Every boundary line.Every stone.Every vein of iron.Every ripple of water.Every fault line.Every old burial.Every oath-mark.Every death-site.Every blood-soaked ritual ground.All of it, anchored right to me.Not connected.Referenced.Like I had become a fixed point the land organized itself around.The Warrior screamed.Not in agony, in the fear

  • Claimed by the wolves.   Chapter 146 — The Price of Being Chosen.

    Juliette’s POV:The voice did not echo.It inhabited the chamber.It filled the stone, the sigils, the spiral beneath our feet, the air in our lungs. It did not come from above or below — it came from everywhere at once, like the land itself had learned how to speak.“Fulcrum… you stand where none were meant to.”The words were not sound.They were pressure.Meaning.Command without force.Truth without mercy.The sigil beneath my feet burned hotter, white light searing into the stone, into the air, into my senses. The power wrapping my body tightened—not restraining me, not harming me, but claiming alignment. Like gravity deciding I was its center.The witnesses staggered.Some fell to one knee.Some simply vanished, their spectral forms dissolving like mist under heat, as if they were never meant to witness what came next.Cassian didn’t move.Not forward.Not back.Not even in fear.He went still in a way that felt wrong — like a predator realizing the forest had stopped responding

  • Claimed by the wolves.   Chapter 145 — The World That Bows.

    Juliette’s POV:The Silence that followed wasn’t empty.It felt like pressure without sound.Like weight without form.It was the space between heartbeats when the world forgets how to move.The chamber held its breath.Blackridge held its breath.Even the land beneath my feet.. ancient, endless, arrogant in its endurance.. hesitated.Not in fear though.In recognition.The black sigil beneath me burned hotter, carving deeper into the stone as if the earth itself were trying to memorize me. The lines were no longer symbols. They were pathways. Veins. Conduits. The circle no longer felt like a boundary.It felt like a throne.I did not want it.But I stood in it anyway.The Warrior lay motionless at my feet.Still.Silent.Gone, just gone.The word refused to settle in my mind. My thoughts kept circling it, sliding off it, rejecting it like a foreign body.Gone…No.Not gone.Taken.The distinction mattered very much.The presence beneath the land shifted again vast, old, coiled deep i

  • Claimed by the wolves.   Chapter 144 — The Price That Answers.

    Juliette’s POV:The sound that followed was more a tear than an explosion.A low, dragging sound—like the world itself being pulled apart seam by seam. Stone screamed. Not cracked. Screamed. The chamber lurched violently, pitching me forward as the floor beneath us buckled and realigned, spirals distorting into jagged, uneven angles that no longer obeyed any symmetry I recognized.Blackridge was done waitingIt was finally reacting.I braced myself over the Warrior’s body instinctively, shielding him with my own as the ceiling shed dust and shards of stone. Something sharp grazed my shoulder; pain flared hot and immediate, but I barely registered it.My focus tunneled.Him.His breath was growing shallower. Each inhale sounded like it was being dragged through broken glass.“No,” I whispered. “No, stay with me. Please.”“Juliette.”His voice barely reached me this time. The thread between us..once a vast, unbreakable conduit.. had thinned some much it had become something fragile and
