MARKED BY FATE: THE ALPHA PRINCE'S REGRET Chapter One Hundred and One: What Yselle Remembered
Yselle arrived just before nightfall, riding hard the second Corvin's letter reached her camp. For the first time since I’d met her, she looked truly shaken. Not just grim. Shaken."Say it again," she demanded, before she'd even dismounted. "The word. Seventh. Exactly as you heard it used.""The seventh does not vote," I repeated. "The seventh has not voted on anything in longer than any of us can measure."All the color drained from Yselle’s face. She looked like she’d seen a ghost."What?" Corvin asked, already grabbing a fresh page. He didn’t need anyone to explain. He knew whatever came next would matter more than anything he’d ever written down."There’s a fragment," Yselle said. "I’ve had it for decades. Never showed you. I thought it was useless half the text gone, the rest written so shaky I figured the scribe was dying as they wrote." She swung off her horse, hands trembling as she dug through her satchel. "I kept it because destroying something that old felt wrong. Like a se
MARKED BY FATE: THE ALPHA PRINCE'S REGRET Chapter One Hundred: The Vote
We headed for the hollow at midday, no more hiding in the dark. Rhys and Kaelan stuck to my sides at the ward line, Wren and Serrin close enough to catch me if I slipped. Corvin hovered behind us, clutching his parchment, eyes sharp. He never trusted his memory anymore, not after everything this year had done to us."I want to reach the small one," I said, more to steady my own nerve than because any of them needed telling. "Not the Hollow. Not the others. Just the one who marked the children.""Do you know how to find just one of them," Serrin asked, "if they're all watching through the same door?""No," I admitted. "But I know what it felt like. I'm hoping that's enough."I closed my eyes and reached, just like Corvin taught me. Not desperate, not clawing for answers like before. This time, I asked. I invited the truth to come to me.Stillness rushed in, faster than before. Like it had been waiting for me to call.I'm here. I need to know what's being decided. Please. I wasn't even
MARKED BY FATE: THE ALPHA PRINCE'S REGRET Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Ones Who Disagree
Wren showed up at dawn, barely off her horse before she was in front of me. Rhys had sent for her before I could even finish explaining what I saw in the stillness. She didn't warn her mother. She didn't pack. She just came, leaving behind the quiet life she'd been fighting to build since the boundary. The guilt hit me hard when I saw her face pale, exhausted, like she hadn't slept at all."You said seven," she said, not bothering with greetings, dropping into the chair across from me as her legs had simply stopped agreeing to hold her up. "I need you to tell me exactly what it looked like when it said that. Not the words. The feeling underneath them.""Cautious," I said, trying to grab hold of the feeling before it slipped away like a dream. "Not cold. Almost apologetic, right at the end. Like it wanted me to know it wasn't the one making the choice. It was just warning me."Wren froze. "That matches what I saw two nights ago. I didn't tell anyone. I thought it was just another versi
MARKED BY FATE: THE ALPHA PRINCE'S REGRET Chapter Ninety-Eight: What Answered
The warmth kept spreading, slow and steady, crawling from my palm up my arm. I barely managed to whisper Rhys's name before the room slipped away, just like it had at the ward line months ago. Every time something ancient decided it was done waiting for me, it felt like the world pulling back, leaving me behind.I didn’t fall. I need that clear. Rhys’s hands locked around mine, Corvin halfway out of his chair, Serrin already reaching for the door to call Mira. But I didn’t fall. I just wasn’t really there anymore.I landed somewhere quieter. Not the black forest. Not the silver clearing where the first Seer waited. Somewhere smaller. It almost felt safe, like whoever I was facing had decided not to crush me the way the Hollow did at the crack. Just a single, perfect stillness.You read the name, it said. Not in my voice, the way the Hollow had once borrowed it. In no voice at all, simply arriving, the way the name itself had arrived, whole and certain."I didn't mean to," I said. "I d
MARKED BY FATE: THE ALPHA PRINCE'S REGRET Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Second Mark
None of us slept. No one even tried to fake it. Corvin scattered every scrap he owned across the war table, lamplight flickering over his hands as he hunted for the smaller mark under the name. Serrin sat so close to the page I caught her, twice, reaching for her sleeve. She was checking for a mark that wasn't there. I saw it. She wanted to be sure."It isn't Hart, Farrow, or Draveth," Corvin said, for the third time, more to himself than to any of us. "It isn't the fourth symbol from Wren's dream. It isn't anything I've catalogued in sixty years of trying to catalogue everything that could conceivably matter.""Then catalogue it now," Rhys said. He hadn't sat down once since we came in. He stood by the door, all sharp edges and watchfulness, guarding the room instead of joining it. But I knew better. He was never far, not really.I was the one who finally said what none of us wanted to admit."It's not a symbol," I said. "I think it's a signature."Corvin looked up. "Explain.""The n
MARKED BY FATE: THE ALPHA PRINCE'S REGRET Chapter Ninety-Six: The Name I Shouldn't Know
Nobody moved. Sterling felt like it had gone silent behind me, but I knew it hadn’t. Warriors were still drilling. Someone was laughing near the kitchens. The only real silence was right here, between the four of us and whatever I was holding in my hand."Say it," Corvin said. His voice had none of its usual careful patience left in it."I don't think I should." The mark on my palm was still warm, pulsing steady and low. It hadn’t faded like before. "Corvin, when I read your fragments, when I touched the parchment and saw the first Seers, that was memory. This isn’t memory. This feels like it’s still listening.""Then we need to know exactly what we're dealing with before it stops just listening," Serrin said. But under her usual steady voice, I heard something new. The fear of someone who’d once heard something ancient call her its daughter and never stopped flinching at the memory.Rhys hadn’t said a word since I looked up from the page. When I finally met his eyes, he was watching
