Chapter 72 ~ A Pact Of Teeth

{Revna’s POV}

~ Two Days Later ~

A canyon-like structure was a wound in the earth.

Not a natural one— those heal with time. This one was the kind torn open by darkness and never allowed to close.

Jagged rock walls clawed toward the sky, their surfaces blackened by ancient fire and something older than memory. Even the wind moved carefully here, slipping through the narrow pass like it didn’t want to be noticed.

I chose this place deliberately— to meet him since it was his headquarters; his base Kingdom.

Only a few knew this place or have ever been as its scourged grounds was a myth. Power always tilted the land beneath its feet.

My rebels waited behind me, spread along the upper ridges where they could rain death downward if needed. They were silent— no shifting, no murmuring, no nervous fidgeting. The raid had cured them of unnecessary noise.

Three days ago, they were wolves with grievances. Now they were soldiers who had tasted consequence.

    {Revna’s POV}Alliances are easiest to maintain in the first few hours after they’re formed.Everyone is still pretending.I let Gregon believe the canyon meeting had ended cleanly— that our handshake had sealed something sacred, something binding. His Corrupters remained at a distance as my rebels withdrew, neither force crossing into the other’s shadow.That was intentional.Proximity breeds familiarity. Familiarity breeds mistakes.I do not make mistakes, not recently. By nightfall, we had already moved; not together. I led my rebels westward through broken trade routes and abandoned pack borders, following paths the Palace had stopped monitoring months ago. Gregon would be doing the same in the opposite direction, swelling his ranks with fear and rot.We were circling the same corpse.The Reigns.Around me, my rebels moved with sharpened silence. No unnecessary words. No wandering attention. They had learned quickly— faster than I expected, which pleased me. Fear had stripped awa

  • ECLIPSE BORN   Chapter 71 ~ Mercy Is A Weapon

    {Revna’s POV}The caravan was late.That annoyed me.Late meant sloppy. Sloppy meant unpredictable. And unpredictable meant variables— things I disliked almost as much as sentiment.I crouched atop a limestone ridge overlooking the trade road, the night stretched thin and moonless above us. Below, torchlight crawled slowly through the valley like a wounded serpent— six wagons, reinforced axles, Palace insignia scraped clean but still recognizable beneath the grime. Smart. Cowards learned quickly these days.They were carrying grain, steel, medical supplies, and a small chest of coin meant to “restore confidence” in the western villages.Confidence could not be restored with bread; only blood can. And medical supplies could not heal emotional wounds— only retribution can.Behind me, my rebels waited in disciplined silence. Not rogues anymore. Not scavengers. They had learned to hold still. To listen. To obey without being told twice.I had taught them that.“Positions,” I whispered.T

  • ECLIPSE BORN   Chapter 70 ~ Fractures In The Reigns

    {Levi’s POV}If the Reigns had a pulse, it was skipping beats.I felt it the moment I left the Palace gates.The surrounding cities hadn’t fallen apart yet— not visibly. Their walls and borders still stood. The banners still hung and locals still marched in intentional lines, their occupation still their priority. But beneath that?Cracks.Everywhere.I pulled my coat tighter as I moved through the westward axis lower districts, blending into the morning crowd. The streets were busier than usual; too busy with the hum of trade or routine.It appeared restless as wolves were pacing instead of walking while conversations cut off the moment a guard passed. Too many eyes flicking upward toward the Palace like it might suddenly decide to strike and fear had a smell that I could sense. Metallic. Sharp; like rain before a storm, and it clung to everything.I adjusted the strap of the satchel bag slung over my shoulder— empty for now, but not for long. My assignment was simple: secure weapo

  • ECLIPSE BORN   Chapter 69 ~ What Remains Standing

    {Liam’s POV}The Palace no longer slept.It breathed, unevenly and anxiously, like a wounded animal that didn’t yet know whether it would survive the night.I stood on the eastern battlement field of the Palace long after the moon had dipped behind cloud and ash, my hands resting on cold stone as if it were the only solid thing left in the world. Below me, torchlight crawled along the outer walls, guards pacing in tight, relentless loops. Every clang of armor echoed sharper than it should have. Every raised voice cut too quickly into silence.Fear had a sound… and it lived here now.“Ava.”The name left my mouth before I realized I’d spoken aloud. The wind caught it, tore it apart, and scattered it into the dark beyond the walls— into forests, ravines, and places I couldn’t reach.I hadn’t slept.I hadn’t eaten.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her back as she fled; bloodied, furious, terrified, and the way my hand had reached for her not as a man, not as someone who cared, but as a

  • ECLIPSE BORN   Chapter 68 ~ Noisy And Quiet

    {Ava’s POV}The forest did not sound the way it used to.That was the first thing I noticed.Not the cold biting through my clothes, not the ache in my legs that never fully left anymore, not even the way my breath kept fogging too fast, too sharp— like my lungs were trying to outrun my thoughts.The forest itself was… wrong.I crouched low beneath a thicket of twisted roots, my back pressed to a bark that felt older than memory. I had stopped moving minutes ago; no, longer than that. Time blurred when I ran too long— when the power inside me surged and receded like a tide I didn’t know how to swim against.I listened… and I heard everything.Too much.A beetle shifting beneath the soil three paces away. The slow drip of water sliding down stone far to my left. The heartbeat of something small and warm hiding inside a hollow log.I squeezed my eyes shut.Stop.I didn’t want this.Every sense felt sharpened to a blade, cutting into me from the inside. My ears rang with sound that refus
