Chapter 88: When Power Demands a Price in Blood

Elixir’s POV

Ewen didn’t wake

Not for hours

Not even as Soren poured runes into the air, his palms trembling from the strain

Not as Lucian stalked the outer ring of camp, blade drawn, senses locked on anything that moved too quickly or too quietly

Not even when I whispered his name over and over

But the sigil on my wrist burned in slow, steady pulses

A heartbeat not my own

We brought Ewen to the inner circle of the Accord Ring by dusk

It was the only place strong enough to contain what he carried

Not because of physical barriers

Because of belief

Every wolf in the alliance had stepped forward that morning—rogue, outcast, or alpha—to offer a piece of their will. Not allegiance, not faith. Just raw, unshaped trust

And I wrapped it into a seal

A ring of protection forged not in magic

But in unity

Now, as I knelt beside Ewen’s unmoving body, I felt the weight of that trust sitting heavy on my spine

He was one of us

And I wouldn’t lose him to a ghost of fire

“Tell me how to pull her out,”

  • Elixir: Fated To The Three Alpha    Chapter 90: Ash Does Not Forget Its Fire

    Elixir’s POVThe rogue who spoke in his voice didn’t wakeNot after the convulsions stopped, not after the light dimmed behind her eyes, not even after Soren burned half a dozen runes into the soil to break whatever tether remainedShe just breathed—shallow, slowLike something inside her still hadn’t decided if it was done using herI stood over her body with my hands clenched into fistsShe had only said three wordsWe are hereBut those words had undone something deep inside meBecause I knew now—Virex was no longer waiting behind the veilHe was walking the edges of this worldAnd he was doing it through usSoren sat with her the rest of the night, never blinking, lips murmuring old warding chants between each breathLucian stood watch over the Accord Ring, sword at his back, every muscle coiled with tension he didn’t speak aloudEwen disappeared before dawn, saying he needed to “track energy patterns near the grove’s western ridge,” but I knew betterHe needed spaceAnd so did I

  • Elixir: Fated To The Three Alpha    Chapter 89: What Waits Beneath the Name

    Elixir’s POVThe name Virex didn’t echo like prophecyIt sank—deep into the soil, into bone, into silenceNo god should rise without warningNo true power should stir without nature tremblingBut this one had crept into our world like rotInvisible, undeniable, and already inside usI didn’t sleepNot from fearFrom watchingWaitingFor signs in the fire, for voices in the flame, for the whisper of the veil folding too tightly around this worldBut what came wasn’t from the veilIt came under itA humBarely audibleBut rhythmicLike a heartbeat that didn’t belong to anything livingI pressed my hand to the groundAnd it respondedBy morning, three more envoys had arrived—packs we’d never spoken to before. One bore the crescent blade of the Duskfangs. Another carried a cracked totem of the old gods. The third… came with nothing but eyes clouded whiteBlindBut moving with purposeLucian stood behind me as I met them at the Accord Ring. Soren and Ewen flanked my sides. Every face in th

  • Elixir: Fated To The Three Alpha    Chapter 87: Names That Should Not Be Remembered

    Elixir’s POVI had never heard a name sting like a prophecyIt left Lucian’s lips as a whisper, but it landed in the clearing like thunder—no one moved, no one breathedSoren’s shoulders went rigid. Ewen’s ice magic, always steady in his palm, cracked mid-formation“What did you say?” Soren asked, voice lowLucian sat upright now, sweat gleaming along his jaw, eyes unfocused“She showed me a place, not a time. A throne carved from bones… and a name written in blood and flame.”He looked straight at meAnd repeated it“Virex.”I didn’t recognize itBut something inside me didMy pulse faltered. The fire in my veins flickered like it, too, had just remembered a forgotten command“Who is that?” I asked carefullyLucian shook his head. “Not who. What.”The veil pulsed again that nightBut this time it didn’t just hum with energy—it groanedA deep, ancient sound that rolled across the Grove like a beast waking from centuries of silenceWe all heard itEven the rogues camped along the outer

  • Elixir: Fated To The Three Alpha    Chapter 86: Not All Who Bow Seek Peace

    Elixir’s POVSkellmoor rose like a memory no one wanted to speak aloudIt wasn’t just a placeIt was a scar—a stretch of crumbling ruins buried beneath silver dust and forgotten rituals. The earth here pulsed faintly, as if remembering a heartbeat it once carried but lost in some ancient warThe first night we camped outside the boundary stones, the wind changedAnd I knew the veil had started to stir againI woke before dawnNot to noiseBut absenceThe world had gone too stillLucian lay beside me, one arm curled over his bladeSoren’s breathing was slow and even, his warding runes still glowing across the perimeterEwen was sitting just beyond the fire, unmoving, eyes fixed on something in the distanceI walked toward him carefully, every step slow“You feel it too,” he said, without looking“Yes,” I replied. “The veil’s pulsing again.”“Something’s pushing from the other side.”He turned his head, and for a moment, I saw it—his eyes reflecting not the firelight, but something dark

  • Elixir: Fated To The Three Alpha    Chapter 85: Light Was Never Meant to Be Alone

    Elixir’s POVThe floor didn’t break—it unraveledBeneath my feet, the stone twisted into strands of shadow, weaving open like a web spun from ancient threads. The Council Hall, the Elders, the firelight—all fell away into darkness that wasn’t absence but presenceAnd it welcomed me---I didn’t screamI didn’t fallI descendedCarried not by gravity, but by intention—someone or something pulling me toward a memory buried in the marrow of timeThe mark on my wrist pulsed again, not with heat, but with cold so ancient it numbed everything it touchedLet me show you what they buried, the voice whispered againI knew it wasn’t the First FlameThis wasn’t her painThis was the secret she died to protect---When the darkness settled, I stood in a place no light reached naturallyA chamber of black glass and silver runes carved into pillars too tall to see the end ofIn the center stood a mirrorNo reflectionJust depthAs if it led to another version of the worldOr meThe voice returned,
