Chapter 7

Author: Melissa Z
"What?"

Isla's shriek came through the crystal.

"My magic!" Isla shrieked. "You didn't just steal the Font of Power—you stole my power! It's gone!"

I couldn't help but sneer.

So her pathetic little tricks were all fueled by stealing from the Font.

"Lyra!" Damian's voice was back. "Give back control of the Font of Power, now! It's our pack's lifeblood!"

"No."

"You can't do this!" he threatened. "I'll report you to the High Council! Stealing a sacred relic is a capital crime!"

"Stealing?" My voice turned dangerous. "Damian, do you even know the terms of the Font's ancient pact?"

"What pact?"

"Only the strongest bloodline can claim it," I said, my words slow and deliberate. "Three months ago, when I healed your dying lands, the Font sensed my blood. It chose a true master."

"That's impossible! I'm the Alpha of this land!"

"Alpha?" I laughed mockingly. "An Alpha who can't protect his own mate? An Alpha who can't even spot a con artist?"

I heard a heavy thud on his end of the line.

    Damian collapsed to the floor. He finally understood who he had betrayed.The daughter of the Wolf King.The most noble bloodline in the entire North.He had betrayed a royal princess.A council official began preparing the contract-dissolution documents.Isla scrambled to her feet. Panic flashed in her eyes."Wait! The curse never happened! But I carry Damian's child! His heir! You can't punish an unborn pup!"A cunning woman.She knew the greatest taboo among wolves was harming a pup.The Alphas below began to murmur. Some of them looked at me with doubt in their eyes."Isla is right," an old elder stood up. "Whatever has happened, the child is innocent.""And that child carries the blood of the Silver Moon Pack," another elder added. "It has a right to its inheritance."I looked at these foolish old men.Then I smiled."Do you all really think I'm going to change my mind because of an unborn child?"I finished signing the dissolution papers but didn't leave the hall.Instead, I walk

    I didn't even spare Isla a glance.I just softly spoke an ancient syllable:"Silence."Instantly, every shamanic totem on Isla's body went dim.The phony runes painted on her face faded like old tattoos.The bone necklace she wore lost its magical glow and became a cheap ornament."My power..." She stared at her hands in terror. "What did you do to me?""I took back what wasn't yours," I said, walking toward my car without a backward glance.Behind me, I heard Isla and Damian start to argue."You said you'd protect me!" Isla screamed. "You said if I helped you deal with her, you would marry me!""Now is not the time... and you lied to me!" Damian tried to calm her."When is the right time?" Isla shrieked. "After our baby is born? After we use its blood to cast the curse and steal her power? Is that plan even going to work now?"I stopped in my tracks.Bloodline curse.I turned around slowly."What did you just say?"Isla realized she'd let it slip. Her face went pale."I... I didn't sa

    When I returned to the manor the next day, they were, of course, still there.Damian took a deep breath and walked out of the house.He was holding an ancient horn.It was jet black and inlaid with a dragon crystal the size of a fist."Lyra," his voice trembled. "The legendary horn, said to command all beasts. I give it to you now, as a sign of my submission."I took the horn and examined it.It looked impressive, but I spotted the flaw instantly."This dragon crystal," I said calmly, "is a fake."Damian's face went white."What?""It's a glass replica." I tapped the crystal. It made a sharp, clear ping. "A real dragon crystal makes a dull thud. And..."I flipped the horn over, pointing to the runes at its base."This isn't a summoning rune. It's a backlash curse, designed to kill whoever blows the horn."The room fell dead silent."Whoever blows this horn will have the magic turn back on them. At best, they'll be severely injured. At worst, they'll die." I stared at Damian's shocked f

    "What do you mean? You're not afraid?""Our bond isn't a simple mate pact anymore. It hasn't been for a long time," I said, my voice cold. "Ten years ago, I used a secret art to bind it to a loyalty pact. You were the one who broke your vow, Damian. Any attempt to sever our bond now will only shatter your own soul and strip you of your power."I heard a sharp intake of breath."What secret art? How could you...""Try it," I taunted. "Go on, ask the Moon Goddess to break our bond. Let's see if she punishes the betrayer or helps him."There was a long silence."Lyra, I was wrong," his voice suddenly dropped low. "It was all a misunderstanding. Isla blinded me. I was a fool.""You're just figuring that out?""I admit I hurt you. But it wasn't all my fault," he started shifting the blame. "You were always so secretive, you never told me your real power. If you had just been honest...""Honest?" I sneered. "What did I need to be honest with you about? I gave you ten years of my life, and a

    The next morning, my comm crystal wouldn't stop ringing.I slowly brewed a cup of coffee. I savored the long-lost peace on my Evernight City balcony. Only then did I answer the call."Lyra!" Damian's voice was hysterical. "You have to come back! Now!""What's wrong?" I asked, feigning concern. "Wasn't the ritual a success?""Success?" he shrieked, his voice cracking. "It was a complete disaster! Isla's shamanic crap did nothing!"I took a light sip of coffee."That's a shame. But what does it have to do with me? Didn't you say her traditional ways were more reliable?""Stop playing dumb!" he raged. "The ritual can't happen without your wards! Now every pack in the north is laughing at us! The pack members are questioning my leadership!""Then you should talk to Isla about a solution.""Isla can't do anything!" he finally admitted. "Only you can fix this! You have to come back. You have to calm the pack!"I set down my coffee cup."Let me get this straight, Damian. Yesterday, you were
