Lucian’s POV

She didn’t look back when she left the fire

Elixir had walked into the trees like the night belonged to her like it would bend before her or break if it didn’t

And I let her go

Because I was afraid I wouldn’t recognize the girl who came back

The severing didn’t break clean

Everyone said the bond had been cut but they didn’t feel what I felt

It wasn’t gone

It was frayed

A thread snagged between ribs tugging when she hurt pulsing when she doubted echoing in me even as I pretended to stand whole

Soren had grown quiet since her dream woke the camp two nights ago

He was trying to hide the way it haunted him but I knew that look too well

He was reliving it

Just like I was

In her dream I’d killed him

In mine

I watched her die

And did nothing

Ewen claimed he was fine said the severance helped him see clearly but I’d seen the way he kept rubbing his chest as if his own heartbeat had gone cold and unfamiliar

We weren’t okay

None of us were

The Order of the Unmade hadn’t just crept

    Elixir’s POVThe dream realm didn’t feel like a dreamIt felt like a graveyardEach step I took echoed louder than the last across a field of shattered bones under a sky that bled silver ash The stars pulsed like open wounds and the moon was missing swallowed by something darker than nightI knew this wasn’t realBut my heart still racedAhead stood three pillars formed of obsidian and ash On each one was carved a nameLucianSorenEwenTheir bodies were draped across them bloodied unmoving“No” I whispered stepping closer the scream in my throat refusing to come outA voice answered from the fog“You see now what your silence sows”I turnedThe figure stepped through the mist wearing my face again only this time her eyes were hollow sockets burning with faint gold“You let them sever the bond but didn’t tell them what you lost” she hissed “You didn’t say the truth out loud You let love fall silent and called it sacrifice”“I did it to protect them”“You did it to protect yourself fro

    Elixir’s POVThe dream didn’t end when I wokeIt lingered like smoke in my lungs staining every breath with fear that I couldn’t shakeLucian didn’t speak that morningHe trained alone his sword slicing through the mist with vicious precision like he needed to punish the air just to feel realSoren tried to hide it but his eyes flickered gold every time he looked at me as if he was waiting for the moment I’d disappear againAnd EwenHe just watchedNot with blameBut with a stillness that scared me more than angerThey didn’t ask what I’d seen in the dreamThey didn’t need toBecause I hadn’t just seen them kill each otherI’d felt itEvery crack of bone every scream every bond unraveling like silk on fireAnd the worst partIn the dream I didn’t try to stop themI watchedSilentFrozenLike part of me believed it had to happenLike part of me wanted itI sat near the fire arms wrapped around my knees while the forest whispered and the wind carried fragments of the voice I couldn’t fo

  • Elixir: Fated To The Three Alpha    Chapter 71: Nothing Echoes Like an Unchosen Path

    Elixir’s POVTheir silence said everythingThe next morning none of the Alphas spoke of the dream I knew we all hadWe sat by the fire with stale bread and bitter water and no one looked each other in the eye I felt the void between us stretching like a wound we couldn’t bandageI’d dreamed of their deaths againOnly this time I didn’t scream when I wokeI didn’t need toThe screams had already settled in my chestEwen broke the silence first “They’ll come back today”Lucian nodded once “They’re not done They want her marked”Soren added nothing but I saw the faint glow beneath his wrist—his bond mark still there faint barely alive like mine“I’m not going to them,” I said even though the truth itched behind my teethBecause part of me wanted toNot because I believed themBut because I wanted to believe I wasn’t wrong to feel what I felt“You don’t have to go to them,” Soren said quietly “They’ll bring the choice to you”He was rightThey didn’t need to pull me into the veil againTh

    Elixir’s POVMorning light didn't feel like light at allIt was pale and heavy sitting on my skin like frost as I stepped back into camp The fire had burned low Lucian was sharpening his blade with slow precise strokes Soren sat with his back against a tree lost in some memory Ewen stood near the edge of the clearing scanning the treesNone of them looked at me when I returnedBut I knew they felt meThey always didOnly now that feeling came with a twist of something elseAbsenceThe bond used to hum between us even when we didn’t speakNow it was hollowLike we were reaching for a rope that had already snappedLucian’s voice broke the silence “They’ll come again”He didn’t need to say whoSoren finally looked at me “Did they speak to you again last night”I nodded “Not directly But I saw more”Ewen approached his expression unreadable “Tell us”I sat by the fire and let the warmth soak into my bones before I spoke“In the dream we were back at the beginning When I was first taken fr

    Elixir’s POVTheir magic didn’t ripple like the Alphas’ or sting like shadow magicIt bledThe Order of the Unmade stepped forward as if they weren’t intruding but returning and with every step they took the air around me grew colder less realLucian moved in front of me again his blade drawn but it shook slightly not from fear but confusion“What are they” he asked voice sharpEwen answered first “They’re fatebreakers cultists born from the remains of the fallen goddess’s rebellion”“Wrong” the lead figure said “We are what comes after prophecy fails We are what prophecy fears”Soren’s growl low and primal filled the space between usI stepped forward before anyone else could react“What do you want with me”Their leader smiled “You already know Elixir You carry the mark She left it in your blood in your soul in the burning thread that once tethered you to these three”My hand touched the center of my chest instinctivelyThe bondStill silentStill aching“You severed fate” he contin
