Elixir’s POV

Voices called out ahead of us but they weren’t ours

Not Lucian’s not Soren’s not Ewen’s

They were mine

I froze midstep in the obsidian field every muscle going tight around the memory of that bridge that woman that reflection of me—and now this

“Elixir” the voice called again same cadence same tone same soft rasp I heard in my own throat when I whispered to the moon

Lucian turned sharply blades drawn “Tell me you didn’t just speak”

“I didn’t” I whispered and that voice said it again only deeper from farther ahead

We moved as one careful and fast through the jagged landscape The obsidian Vale pulsed with the weight of silence but that voice kept threading through the cracks in the wind

It mimicked me perfectly

Every word I’d spoken in the past day the fear the confusion the promises even the lie I told myself about not being afraid

It knew

We reached a wide pit ringed in broken pillars where a soft glow rose like steam

And at the center was me

Or at least someone who wore

  • Elixir: Fated To The Three Alpha    Chapter 68: Fire Demands What Love Fears to Give

    Elixir’s POVMagic cracked through the air like a living screamLucian stepped forward first no hesitation no fear just pain masked behind purpose He sliced a shallow line across his palm and let the blood drip onto the stone runes below usSoren followed jaw clenched eyes burning blue his hand steady as he mirrored Lucian’s movement His blood hit the same point and the runes pulsed like a heart too long dormantEwen stood still for one breath longer eyes locked with mine before he whispered something I couldn’t hear and completed the triadThe temple reacted immediatelyThe floor split down the center golden fire spilling from the seams spiraling up our bodies twining like vines around each of us not to bind but to burnIt didn’t hurtNot yetThe bond trembledNot broken but threatened the way a violin string sounds just before it snapsI was the axis of it all the thread holding the weave together and now they were pulling back unraveling what fate had written for us“You have to do

  • Elixir: Fated To The Three Alpha    Chapter 67: Light Remembers What Darkness Forgets

    Elixir’s POVSteps formed beneath my feet before I movedThey shaped themselves out of broken stone and golden light carving a path downward into the earth like the temple was guiding me not as a guest but as a piece returning to its originLucian reached for my hand but hesitated his touch hovering inches from mine“You sure you want to go first” he asked quietly“No” I said “But I think I have to”Ewen’s breath fogged as the temperature dropped the further we descended “There’s something alive down here something watching us”Soren scanned the walls as runes lit up one by one each glowing with heat then fading into darkness “It’s not watching us” he said “It’s welcoming her”The passage opened into a wide chamber cut from crystal and shadowPillars of quartz rose from the floor spiraling toward the unseen ceiling and at the center stood a throneIt wasn’t grand or jeweledIt was made from black stone bound in silver chains runes etched across the seat like scars still bleedingLucia

  • Elixir: Fated To The Three Alpha    Chapter 65: Smoke Knows My Name

    Elixir’s POV Ash rained from the sky like black snowWe stood in the treeline watching what was left of the manor collapse into itself The roof groaned the walls cracked and flames licked through the windows devouring every memory that house heldSoren’s hand never left mineLucian paced like a caged animal his shirt torn blood streaking down his side Ewen was crouched beside a large stone whispering a warding spell that barely held together The runes on his skin flickered like dying embers“He didn’t kill us” I whispered “He could have But he didn’t”Lucian stopped walking his eyes snapping to mine “Because he’s playing a longer game”“He said I’d fix the goddess’s mistake” I added “What did he mean by that Who was he”“Not who” Ewen said quietly “What”I turned to him the heaviness in my chest coiling tighter “Tell me”“I’ve read about beings like him” Ewen said standing “Not rogue not possessed but corrupted from the source Twisted by the remnants of the fallen goddess’s bloodline

  • Elixir: Fated To The Three Alpha    Chapter 64: Fire Beneath the Skin

    Elixir's POV Power hummed beneath my skin like a second heartbeatIt didn’t hurt anymore It felt alive steady endless Like I’d tapped into something vast and ancient and now it refused to let goThe chamber was dim but the energy I carried lit it from within My steps echoed as I crossed the ruined threshold where the crystal had once floated and I could still feel its phantom heat burning into my palmsLucian watched me with an expression I couldn’t quite name part awe part fear and something else Something like guilt“What did you do” he asked his voice barely above a whisper“I made a choice” I answeredSoren moved first reaching for my wrist but stopping just before his fingers touched me “Are you alright” he asked but I knew what he really meantAre you still you“I think so” I said slowly “But everything feels different sharper louder Like I’m tuned into something I was never supposed to hear”Ewen’s arms were crossed but his gaze never left me “That wasn’t just power you absorb

  • Elixir: Fated To The Three Alpha    Chapter 63: The Key Within the Ruin

    Elixir’s POVThe wraiths came fast.Lucian’s command echoed through the circle as he raised his blade, its edge catching the red light of the blood moon. Soren was already beside him, shoulder to shoulder, while Ewen’s low chant summoned a ripple of fire to hold the first wave back.I didn’t move. Couldn’t.Because the moment I stepped into this place, something inside me had unlocked.My heartbeat didn’t just echo—it called. And something beneath the earth—beneath this stone circle—answered.“Elixir!” Lucian shouted, yanking a wraith off Ewen and skewering it through its ribcage. “You need to move!”But I couldn’t. Not yet.The rune beneath my ribs pulsed in rhythm with the moon. I dropped to my knees, ignoring the chaos around me, and pressed my hand against the center of the stone. It burned—hot and golden, not with pain, but power.A memory I had never lived surged forward.A woman. Eyes like mine. Blood soaking her hands. A crown of thorns. She whispered, “The key is never what i
