I chipped at my food mindlessly, my thoughts preoccupied with Ciro. I woke up this morning feeling a tad bit better, so I decided to have lunch downstairs with the other pack members. Most people I came into contact with bowed their heads respectfully and kept their distance. It felt lonely. I found myself wanting, needing someone to speak to me, to distract me from the thoughts of my mate. The only friend I had was Amaya, and she was somewhere, probably having fun with other worriers while I wallowed in self-pity. I wanted her to have fun, but I also needed my friend.

Ciro hadn't shown his face since our conversation yesterday. I sighed. I thought we were making progress, thought we had a bond, but I guess the truth of my health was too much for him to handle. I wondered how he'd react when he finds out about why we're on the run and who my parents really are.

I sighed once again and gave up on having breakfast. I knew I wouldn't be able to eat anything with the emotional turmoil

  • Colorless   Chapter 85

    Ciro’s POVThe council chamber was suffocating, even with only Isabella and me inside. The heavy oak doors had barely closed behind the last of the council members before she rounded on me, her eyes flashing like steel."You've lost your mind, Ciro."Her words cut sharp, the weight of them reverberating in my skull. She stood rigid at the far end of the table, her dark hair spilling over her shoulders, her fists planted on the polished wood as if she could pin me there with sheer force of will."You marked her. In front of the council. In front of the pack!" Her voice cracked with disbelief, though underneath it was fear. "Do you understand what you've done?"I met her fury with silence at first, leaning back in my chair, jaw tight. My wolf bristled under her tone, my blood still running hot from the trial, from the sight of them circling Jasmine like vultures. They demanded her death, my mate. "I did what I had to do," I said finally, my voice low, dangerous."You bound yourself to

    I woke again to silence. The kind that stretched too far, too heavy, and made every creak of the walls feel like a threat. For a moment, I thought it had all been a dream—the trial, Duncan's sneer, the screams, Ciro's teeth at my throat—but the faint throb at my neck reminded me it was all real.The mark was still there. Warm. Alive.I sat up slowly, rubbing my eyes. My body still felt heavy, drained, but the ache in my chest was different now—like something foreign had taken root. My fingers brushed the curve of my collarbone, tracing the tender skin where Ciro had bitten me. A sudden wave of emotion hit me, brewing from within my chest. Rage. Sharp, consuming rage that made my heart kick hard against my ribs. For a second, I thought I was losing control of my own power again, but no—this wasn't me. The feeling burned, then shifted into frustration, like a storm pacing inside a cage.I gasped, clutching the sheets. "Ciro," I whispered. The bond. It had to be.The realisation twiste

    The first thing I felt was warmth. A steady, consuming warmth that pressed against me, surrounding me like a cocoon. For a fleeting second, I let myself sink into it, clinging to the illusion of safety. But then memory tore through me—the trial, the shouts, Duncan's voice condemning me, the sting of Ciro's teeth sinking into my neck.My eyes flew open.The ceiling above me was unfamiliar. Dark beams, high arches, heavy drapes that muted the light. A room large enough to swallow me whole, yet suffocating because I didn't belong here. My breath caught as I pushed myself upright, the soft sheets pooling around my waist.Pain flared at my neck.I raised my hand to it, fingers brushing the tender, raised skin. The mark burned beneath my touch, not in agony but in a strange, lingering ache that was both foreign and terrifying. It pulsed faintly, like a tether tugging deep in my chest.He had marked me.My throat tightened, panic rising. A mark wasn't something you could undo—it was binding,

    The silence after the explosion was deafening. Dust hung in the air, lights flickered wildly, and all eyes were on me—fear widening them, whispers crawling like snakes around the chamber. My veins throbbed with energy, my heart pounding. My eyes were wide, surprised by what had just happened. They were right, I wasn’t human."She's dangerous," someone spat."She'll destroy us all," another hissed.Duncan, who had been quiet all along, stepped forward, his voice slicing through the chaos like a blade. "Enough games. You all saw it. She is not one of us. She is a threat. She should be put to death before she brings this pack to ruin!"No. I snapped my gaze to Ciro’s, whose eyes were wide with shock and anger, tinged with something else, desperation. Gasps erupted, followed by nods of agreement. A surge of voices rose in approval, a tide of anger rolling towards me. My knees weakened, but I held my ground, my breath ragged. Death. They wanted my death. I fought back the sting in my eye

  • Colorless   Chapter 81

    The council chamber had been transformed into something colder; the chill of judgement itself was nothing compared to this. The long tables had been shifted into a half-circle, high-backed chairs filled with council members draped in ceremonial robes. They took it upon themselves to dress for the occasion. The pack's banners hung heavy from the walls, their golden threads gleaming in the torchlight. Rows of wolves—guards, elders, pack members—lined the sides, their eyes sharp, hungry for blood. I knew before the trial started, it was clear in their eyes. My fate had already been set. And I stood in the centre of it all, a lamb before their tribunal. My heart was steady, my eyes cold. I felt numb. Amaya stood behind me, her hand resting on my shoulder, steady as a stone, almost reassuring. Almost. Ciro was to my right, but higher up—seated on the dais, flanked by Isabella and the council, his jaw clenched so tightly I thought it might break. His eyes never left me.A councilor rose,

  • Colorless   Chapter 80

    Jasmine’s POV The library had always felt like a sanctuary, a place where the noise of the world dimmed into silence. But today, even among the shelves of worn leather and the scent of parchment, peace felt out of reach.Amaya sat across from me, her chin propped on her hand as she scanned a page. I wasn't reading, not really. My eyes skimmed the words without holding onto them, every letter slipping through my mind like water.The silence between us was heavier than usual. It wasn't the comforting quiet of shared company but the kind that pressed on your lungs until every breath hurt."Anything?" Amaya asked finally, tilting her head towards the book in my hands.I shook my head. "Nothing useful. Just another history of the wars."She sighed, shutting her own book with a thud. "I don't know why you keep coming back here.""Because it's the only place where no one stares at me like I'm a murderer," I murmured.Her expression softened. "They're fools."Maybe they were. But fools had t
