Ryker’s POV

The moon had sunk low by the time I stepped away from the fires. My boots crunched over damp earth as I moved through the quiet camp, the night air sharp with the scent of iron and ash.Everywhere I looked, I saw them—survivors, warriors, children who had never known anything but chains. They were sleeping now, curled under blankets or lying close to the dying embers. But even in sleep, they carried the same tension in their bodies—a readiness to run or to fight.I understood that feeling all too well.My hand rested on the hilt of my blade, worn smooth by years of war. The metal was cool beneath my palm, familiar. It had been my shield, my answer to every threat the Cradle had thrown at us. But now, with the Old Ones stirring, I wondered if even steel would be enough.I found Clara at the edge of the camp, a lone figure silhouetted against the darkness. The moonlight caught in her hair, turning it to a river of molten gold. Even here, in the stillness, there was a power in h

  • From Escape To Bound: Her Destined Wolf    Chapter 33

    (Ryker’s POV)That’s when the darkness moved.A shape coalesced from the shadows, taller than any man, its body a shifting mass of black veins and ancient hunger. Two molten eyes opened in the dark.Clara gasped. “Ryker—”I stepped in front of her, Shadowborne singing in my hand. “Get behind me,” I said, my voice low, my heart hammering.The creature spoke, its voice like knives dragged across stone. “The Order is dead. Their light has failed. You cannot win.”“Maybe,” I snarled. “But I’m not the Order.”It lunged.The air exploded with darkness and fury. Shadowborne met the creature’s claws in a shower of sparks, runes screaming with heat. The force of the impact sent me skidding back, boots scraping stone.Clara’s flame burst bright, a searing wave that forced the creature to recoil—but it wasn’t enough. Its claws raked the ground, gouging deep scars into the ancient stone.I charged, sword a blur. Every strike sang with defiance, each rune igniting as I channeled every memory of the fallen—

  • From Escape To Bound: Her Destined Wolf    Chapter 32

    (Ryker’s POV)Visions flickered in the corners of my mind: warriors in the dark, a broken sun, a tide of shadow rising to drown the world.And then—Clara’s face. Her flame, a single spark in the darkness, fighting to hold back the night.I clenched my jaw, forcing the visions away.“No darkness takes me,” I growled. “Not while I have breath.”The sword hummed in response, its runes glowing faintly. I could feel it now—this was a weapon forged in the old wars, made to fight what could not be killed by steel alone.If the Old Ones were stirring, then this was what we needed.I slid the blade into the scabbard on my back and turned, the firelight glinting off the silver etchings.“Hold on, Clara,” I whispered again. “I’m coming.”The wind outside had risen to a keening howl, carrying with it the promise of blood and darkness. But I didn’t falter.Because now—now we had a fighting chance.And no darkness would take this world while I still had strength to stand.The wind outside had turned vicious,

  • From Escape To Bound: Her Destined Wolf    Chapter 31

    Ryker’s POVThe wind hit us like a warning the moment we stepped through the shattered gates of Balarin’s Keep. Cold and sharp, carrying with it the smell of old blood and broken promises.Inside, the courtyard sprawled like the husk of a dead god—stones cracked and blackened, walls leaning like weary sentinels. I could almost hear the screams of the past in the wind’s keening, a memory that refused to fade.Seris paused just inside the gates, her eyes closed as if listening to voices only she could hear. Clara stood beside her, the faint glow of her flame steady but subdued. I felt the heat of it even from here—a reminder that no matter how dark this place was, she would always bring light.“We should split up,” Seris said after a moment. “Time is short, and this place is vast. The wards here are old, and they won’t hold forever.”Clara’s brows furrowed. “Are you sure splitting up is wise? We don’t know what’s waiting for us in these ruins.”Seris opened her eyes, silver flashing like the

  • From Escape To Bound: Her Destined Wolf    Chapter 30

    Ryker’s POVThe sun rose over the camp like a bruised promise—pale and uncertain. I’d never trusted the dawn much; too many times, I’d seen it herald a new day of bloodshed rather than hope. But today, something felt different.Clara stood at the heart of the camp, her hair catching the light like fire. Around her, warriors gathered in a rough circle, some with blades at their hips, others with worn hands and eyes that had seen too much. They were tired—gods, we all were—but there was a kind of determination in their faces that made my chest ache.I took my place at her side, my hand never straying far from my sword.“Today,” Clara began, her voice steady and strong, “we begin preparing for the darkness that’s coming. We will train, we will learn, and we will build the alliances Seris spoke of.”Seris stood at the edge of the circle, her silver eyes watchful. She hadn’t said much since last night, but the weight of her knowledge pressed on all of us like a shadow.I scanned the faces in th

  • From Escape To Bound: Her Destined Wolf    Chapter 28

    Clara's Pov Seris emerged from the darkness like a secret given shape. Her silver eyes glowed with a knowledge that felt too old for any one soul to bear. She moved with the quiet confidence of someone who had seen empires rise and fall, and her presence both soothed and unnerved me. She stood at the edge of the circle of warriors and survivors Ryker and I had begun to gather. The people were wary—trusting me, yes, but untested by the new threats we now faced. They shifted uncomfortably under her gaze, as if her very existence challenged their understanding of the world we’d fought so hard to save. “We need to prepare,” I said, my voice carrying across the clearing. The ward I had woven still shimmered faintly, a fragile promise of safety. “Seris says the Old Ones are stirring, and if that’s true, this world will need more than a Queen and a Shadow to survive.”Seris nodded, her dark hair falling like a curtain around her face. “You will need knowledge—of the old magics and the deepe
