เข้าสู่ระบบLiam~~Dane was barely gone a minute when the door slammed open.I jerked upright, my heart leaping, and found Fredrinn standing at the door, his chest rising and falling like he had run a marathon. I wasn’t expecting him.He crossed the room in three strides. Before I could say a word, he had my hand in both of his, turning it over and running his thumb across my palm, pressing along the bones as if he could find the wound by touch.“What happened?” His voice was low and rough. “I felt it.”His hands were warm. Too warm. I stared at them.“Fredrinn. Calm down.”“I felt it, Liam.”“I know. I’m fine.” I tugged gently and he didn’t let go. “Sit.”I told him. The memory spell. The thing I had seen inside my own body. What the witch had said about the Clavis, and the binding, and how she planned to draw them out through my hand.“She’s going to open it,” I finished. “Through my hand.”His head was already shaking before I reached the end of the sentence.Then he turned around.Dane wa
LIAM~~~My hand throbbed. I flexed my fingers and immediately regretted it.“Did you see it?”The witch was already bent over me, her eyes fixed on my face like she was afraid I’d slip away again. I turned my head from Dane, who stood at the foot of the bed with his arms folded, and looked at her.“Yes.”“Tell me.”“It almost looked like a snake.” My throat tightened. “But it wasn’t. It was… shiny. Almost glossy. Like something that had been polished.”She didn’t speak. She studied me for a moment before she asked, “Do you know how many they put inside you?”I shook my head. Then I stopped and tried to pull the memory back, the dark, the hands, the sound of someone breathing too close.“Five,” I said slowly. “I think there were five. I’m not sure.”“Don’t be. Memories bend. They warp when they’re held too long.” She said it gently, like she was apologizing on the memory’s behalf. “We can’t trust the number.”I nodded. It wasn’t as if I had anything better to offer.She straightened
FREDRINN~~~~I reacted on instinct and raised my hands to intercept him. I didn't mean to kill him. I only intended to block the attack, seize his arm, and throw him to the floor to end it quickly.But the moment my fingers closed around his forearm, something went wrong."Oh, oops," Gedon purred in my head, sounding too amused. "Did you break him?"Flesh from flesh, bone from bone, his hand disjoined from his shoulder.No matter how much I tried to restrain myself. It always happens.A ragged scream tore through the factory as bone snapped under my grip. Before I could let go, another rogue shrieked and attacked from the left. I pivoted toward him, and the confrontation descended into chaos.Gedon vibrated with exhilaration in the back of my mind."Yes! Rip them apart!" Gedon roared, his bloodlust surging through my veins.The violence woke something feral in Gedon, and every scream and wet crunch sounded like music to him. I felt his manic excitement bleeding into my blood and war
Fredrinn~~~‘Alpha duties are nothing but mostly boring administrative garbage,’ Gedon muttered, his voice flat. ‘Just toss it out of the window, and let’s do something fun like going to see Liam.’“Kill the thought,” I muttered.Barely three seconds, I reached for my phone and checked Dane’s DM. He hadn’t sent any picture, any video.Something rose in my chest, but dissolved as the door opened after a knock.One of my warriors stopped before my desk, politely clasping my hand behind me."Alpha, we've located the rogues," he said.I looked up and dropped my pen onto the desk."Where?""They've been spotted on the outskirts of Redtown."‘Finally, some fun Alpha work,’ Gedon said. I did the math in my head, calculating distance and travel time."That's five hours away.” I uncoiled from the seat."Yes, Alpha.""Get the helicopter prepped.” I rounded the desk, fixing my jacket. "We'll use it to cover as much distance as possible, then do the rest on foot."Hesitation flashed across his
LIAM~~~I rounded the chair, my eyes tracking my body looking for any mark. But nothing.So I redirected my gaze to the damp stone walls. They were covered in strange runes, jagged lines carved deep into the rock. More symbols had been drawn across the surface in what looked like dried blood. In one corner was a stick man painting a woman tied to a stick set at flames. They were more images of some in human form, some in wolf form, all depicted dying in a horrific way like it was some kind of sick ritual.‘What the hell is this?’ Nyratha muttered, an icy feel clinging to her voice.Near the corner, I noticed a crest stamped into the mortar. It was a crescent moon with a serpent spiraling tightly around it, and I couldn't stop staring at it.Footsteps echoed from the other side of the walls, and my body twitched, every muscle in my body ready to flee. But then I remembered the witch's words.I wasn't physically there, and nobody could see or interact with me. Niraatra stepped up be
Liam~~~"What condition?"My heart sprinted."You'll look into my future."As the words left her mouth, a cold sweat prickled down my spine.Fragmented dreams came back to me, and then memories of reality followed. My stomach churned, and a dry heave left me.Subtly, I shook my head. I wasn’t interested in seeing anyone's future again. I didn’t want to watch someone die once, let alone twice. Dane shifted beside me. "Ah, I thought you were a seer," he raised an eyebrow at her. "Shouldn't you be able to see the future?"The witch let her unnaturally dark eyes slide from me to Dane."I am a seer, but my abilities have limitations; I cannot see the past or the future."Dane and I listened."My gift only allows me to perceive the present.” Her eyes found me again. “Being able to see the future is a rare gift even for a witch. Let alone a wolf.” There was something about how her gaze held me. I tried to discern it but I couldn’t. Maybe because no one had stared at me like that. "I can
