Chapter 40 : One Thing At Once

last update Huling Na-update: 2025-07-17 20:09:37

Lyra POV

The sun had risen fully, pale and cold against the mountains. Yet the air between the village stones still felt thick with everything unsaid.

Lyra found Vaeleth alone near the western edge of the village, standing where the cliffs overlooked the river below. Her arms were folded, silver hair tugged wild by the wind.

Lyra didn’t approach right away.

For once, she didn’t feel the need to fill the silence.

But after a few heartbeats, Vaeleth spoke first - her voice quieter than Lyra had ever heard it.

“Seren.”

Lyra stepped closer, boots crunching on frost-stiff grass. “It’s a good name.”

Vaeleth gave a sharp, dry laugh. “I spent my whole life thinking she was nothing. Just a ghost in the stories people avoided telling me.”

“And now?”

“Now I know why I always felt like something was breaking under my skin.” Vaeleth glanced sideways, her expression unreadable. “Your blood… you’re not just a wolf either.”

Lyra met her gaze calmly. “No. And neither is Nyxar.”

  • Lyra, His Second Chance Mate   Chapter 39 : Between Fire and Silence

    Lyra POVThe mountain felt different with the dawn. Less like a battlefield, more like something ancient breathing slow again after a long sleep.They gathered near the cold remnants of the campfire. No one spoke at first. The quiet wasn’t strained - it was simply full. Heavy with things no one yet knew how to say aloud.Vaeleth sat on a stone, arms loosely crossed over her knees, watching the horizon. Not quite guarded. Not quite open either.Ekreth stood nearby, arms folded, wings hidden but presence undeniable. There was a thread of something new between them now - something still raw and tentative, but there.Lyra broke the silence first. Her voice was steady.“We need to talk before we go down to the village.”Vaeleth’s gaze flicked toward her but didn’t fully lift.“About what?”“About what’s really happening,” Lyra said, looking at each of them in turn. “The gods waking. The seals breaking. And what you saw up there.”Vaeleth’s jaw flexed.“I don’t know what I saw,” she admitte

  • Lyra, His Second Chance Mate   Chapter 38 : What Remains After Fire

    Vaeleth POVThe thunder of hooves broke the stillness.Vaeleth stood at the edge of the altar, blood and ash drying on her hands, her body trembling with power not entirely her own. Below, weaving their way through smoke-veiled paths, came back the two. Vaeleth didn’t run.She stood still, hands at her sides, as Lyra and Nyxar walked at the edge of the ridge. The air between them buzzed with tension. The quiet hum of fate curling its fingers tighter around their throats.Lyra dismounted first. She stepped forward without hesitation, cloak trailing behind her like shadowed flame.“Are you alright?” she asked.Her voice was steady, but her eyes swept over Vaeleth like a soldier assessing wounds.Vaeleth blinked. She hadn’t expected the question. Not from her.“I’m not hurt,” she said. “But I’m not sure it’s safe.”Nyxar joined her, frowning at the scorched stone and the brittle edges of cracked wards. “What happened here?”“I held it down.” Vaeleth’s voice came out quieter than she mea

  • Lyra, His Second Chance Mate   Chapter 37 : The Seal Beneath the Skin

    Vaeleth POVThe heat didn’t touch her.It should have. The fire poured around her like a living tide - snapping, screaming, tearing through the sky with soundless violence. Ash clung to the air. Magma licked at the edge of the warding circle she’d drawn with blood and stone. But her skin did not blister. Her lungs did not burn.Because it knew her. Because she knew it.And the seal - cracked, ancient, groaning beneath her feet - was screaming for a sacrifice.She held her hands steady, even as her bones shivered.The voices had grown louder now. Not words, exactly. But intention. Hunger. Fury. Echoes of something far older than the gods the wolves prayed to.Something that remembered when the sky still bled gold and stars fell like arrows.Break.Rise.You are the key.Vaeleth gritted her teeth, pressing her palms harder to the jagged obsidian altar. It pulsed beneath her skin like a second heartbeat. She felt the fire rising through her veins, pulling, tempting.Open the door, it whi

  • Lyra, His Second Chance Mate   Chapter 36 : Wings of Fire

    Lyra POVThe ground cracked beneath her boots as she ran.Trees blurred past. The scent of burning stone and sulfur stung her nose. The wolves - both in human forms and beast - surged around her in panicked motion, many howling, some already in fur. The children were clutched tight, carried by older siblings or flanked by trembling elders.Behind them, the sky had turned red. Lyra risked a glance back.The southern ridge - once green and silent - now boiled with smoke and molten light. Lava spilled in thin streams down the mountainside like blood. Above it, clouds churned in unnatural patterns, black and rust-colored, spitting lightning without sound.She’d seen battlefields. She’d seen gods bleed. But this was different.This was the earth itself turning against them.“Keep moving!” she shouted, her voice hoarse.Nyxar ran beside her, steady and silent, a beacon in the chaos. His shirt was streaked with ash, his violet-gold eyes narrowed with focus.They had barely reached the edge

  • Lyra, His Second Chance Mate   Chapter 35 : When the Earth Breathes

    Vaeleth POV The wolves were still.Even the children, who moments ago peeked from the roots of houses, had gone silent. The air in the village had shifted - too quiet. Too still.Then, the ground exhaled.Not wind. Not weather. But something deeper. Beneath the soil. Beneath the mountain. A low, groaning sound like the world grinding its teeth.Vaeleth’s breath caught.Moera lifted her head. “It’s begun.”“What?” Lyra asked, stepping closer, her hand drifting toward her belt. “What is that?”“The bindings,” Vaeleth whispered. “They’re weakening.”The ground shook.Not hard. But enough that moss fell from the rooftops and birds rose in a frantic scatter from the trees. A few of the wolves bared their teeth, low growls stirring like a ripple through the gathered crowd.Nyxar turned in a slow circle, scanning the skies, then the horizon. “It’s coming from beneath us.”Vaeleth nodded. “It always does.”Then the heat rose.Not from fire. Not from the sky. But from the stones themselves. S
