His Mate, His Enemy Chapter 69
SAPHRA'S POV Eira sleeps in the stone shelter when I finally force myself to go. Her breathing is steady, her fever gone, the herbal paste drying against wounds that no longer pulse black with silver. She insisted I return before dawn. Insisted Lucien would tear the territory apart if I did not. So I leave. I heard toward the palace that has never felt less like a prison and more like the centre of something rotting. The bond hums low and restless as I approach the fortress walls. Lucien’s presence is closer now,no longer frantic, but sharp. Controlled fury instead of blind panic. He knows. He absolutely knows. I circle wide to avoid the main paths and patrol routes. The eastern wall looms in the dim grey of pre-dawn. Joren’s passage is hidden and I slip through the narrow gap and pull the stone back into place behind me. Darkness swallows me whole. The air inside the tunnel is damp and cold, thick with the scent of old earth and stone. I move by memory, fingers grazing the
His Mate, His Enemy Chapter 68
SAPHRA'S POV"Start talking." I say.Eira shifts slightly against the stone floor, pain flickering across her face, but her eyes are clear now, fever gone.“I was Darkveil’s head priestess,” she says quietly.The title hangs in the air like something sacred.“For thirty years, I served the pack. I oversaw the rites of passage, the blood-binding ceremonies and the lunar rituals. I kept the spiritual balance between wolf and man.”Thirty years.That’s longer than I’ve been alive.“You were trusted,” I murmur.“Yes.”Her mouth curves bitterly. “Until I was not.”A slow chill creeps up my spine.“What changed?”She looks past me, as if she can still see the towering halls of Darkveil’s stronghold, the torches, the stone and th e wolves who once bowed their heads when she passed.“I began to feel… distortion,” she says carefully. “At first, it was subtle. A restlessness among the warriors, Increased aggression during the full moon and old grudges reigniting without cause.”“That’s normal f
His Mate, His Enemy Chapter 67
SAPHRA'S POV The branch snaps again. I crouch at the narrow entrance of the stone shelter, every muscle strung tight, my senses stretched thin into the forest. The air smells of damp earth and distant blood. Behind me, Eira’s breathing shudders. I need to find herbs to heal her. Her voice slides into my mind like cool water over overheated skin. I whirl around. Eira’s eyes are closed. Her lips barely move. You must move quickly, she says inside my head. The sound is faint, strained, but unmistakable. The silver spreads. And I will not waste breath. Her mind brushes mine again, giving me directions. "North of the shelter. Ten paces past the split oak. There is yarrow growing near the rocks. You will see white flowers." I blink and I sprint from the shelter. The forest greets me with heavy silence, as if it’s watching. Waiting. I move fast but low, scanning for movement, for scent, for the shift of fur in shadow but there is no pack hunters crashing through un
His Mate, His Enemy Chapter 66
SAPHRA'S POV Her voice is weaker than it was in my visions. Roughened by pain. But it is the same cadence. The same quiet gravity that once filled my skull like winter wind. Cold realisation slides through me. “You’re the voice,” I whisper. A faint smile touches her lips despite the blood staining them. “Yes. I...I am Eira” Her knees buckle. I lunge forward just in time to catch her as she collapses against the jagged rocks. Her full weight crashes into me, and I stagger, barely keeping us both upright. That’s when I see it clearly. Silver. The scent hits first. It burns the inside of my nose. Her side is torn open by a blade wound that has already begun to blacken around the edges. The flesh there is bleeding and swollen, the veins beneath her skin darkening unnaturally. Her forearm is slashed deeply, skin blistered where silver must have kissed it. “They used silver,” I breathe. Her skin is scorching beneath my hands, she has a fever. “Yes,” she murmurs, an

SAPHRA'S POVI wake before the sun and stare at the stone ceiling above my bed, tracing the faint cracks that split through grey like veins. My heart beats too fast for someone lying still. Lucien is far away from here. The bond hums faintly at the back of my mind. He is somewhere else in the fortress.The memory of the vision presses in.Darkness swallowing light. Her voice inside my skull, steady and terrible."When he frees you, you will come find me."She expects me and I promised.I sit up slowly, pressing my feet to the cold floor. My palms are damp.I do not break promises even to ghosts in visions.I stay sharp, monitoring the guard shifts. A sharp clang echoes down the corridor.Guards shift change.My head snaps toward the door.It is always precise, always timed, not a second late.One guard leaves and then the next arrives within the same breath.But today—Something is wrong.The footsteps are slightly off rhythm. A delay.Just seconds.But seconds are enough.My pulse e
His Mate, His Enemy Chapter 64
SAPHRA'S POV We are still sitting in the aftermath of his confession about the massacre. The air feels altered since then thicker and heavier with truth. We are two survivors of the same incident. But one thing still claws at me. “You could have killed me.” My voice is steady. He doesn’t look surprised. He turns slowly from the window to face me. “Yes.” The single word makes my chest tighten. “You realized who I was,” I continue. “You believed every Emberfang was dead. And then I was standing in front of you.” His jaw shifts. “You had motive. You had power. You had no witnesses who would have stopped you.” He says nothing. “Why didn’t you?” I ask. He stares at the floor. For a moment, I think he will give me something polished. Instead, he exhales slowly. “I told myself that keeping you alive would give me leverage,” he continues. “That your existence was useful.” I hold his eyes. “And was it?” “No.” The answer is immediate. “Then why did you not kill me?” I pr
