POV: Karl

The world came back in pieces. Voices first. Elijah's, tight with worry. Nathan's, defensive and guilty. Then Morrison's clinical tone explaining vitals and recovery rates.

Then memory crashed over me like a wave. Maya tied to the silver post. Flames rising. Her screams. The corruption serum burning through my veins as Seraphina forced me to watch. My body moving without permission, a puppet dancing on her strings while Maya burned and I did nothing.

  • MATED TO MY BULLIES    Chapter 126: Karl's Choice

    POV: Karl The trial reset again. Maya on the post, unburned. Derek and Cassandra chained. The executioners waiting. Everything frozen in that terrible moment before the flames. My heart screamed to save Maya. Every instinct, every piece of the mate bond that still lingered, pulled me toward her. She was right there. Within reach. I could cut her down, carry her to safety, prove that this time I chose her. But I'd learned something from the other trials. From Victoria accepting her burden. From Alexei choosing duty over family. From Maya facing reality instead of comfortable illusion. The trials weren't about making the right choice. They were about understanding consequences and accepting them fully. I looked at Maya. Not the woman I wanted her to be. Not at the fantasy of redemption. But at the person she actually was. Maya would never forgive me for letting innocents die to save her. She'd survived Malcolm's torture rather than give up information that could hurt other

    POV: Karl The world came back in pieces. Voices first. Elijah's, tight with worry. Nathan's, defensive and guilty. Then Morrison's clinical tone explaining vitals and recovery rates. Then memory crashed over me like a wave. Maya tied to the silver post. Flames rising. Her screams. The corruption serum burning through my veins as Seraphina forced me to watch. My body moving without permission, a puppet dancing on her strings while Maya burned and I did nothing. I sat up violently, my hands going to my chest where I expected to feel corruption still spreading. But my skin was clear. The black veins were gone. Whatever Morrison had done, it had worked. "Easy," Elijah said, his hand on my shoulder. "You've been unconscious for days. Your body needs time to adjust." "Maya," I croaked. "Where is she? Is she alive?" The silence that followed was too long. Too heavy. "She's alive," Nathan said finally. "But a lot has happened since you've been under. Things you need to know." They to

  • MATED TO MY BULLIES    Chapter 124: Unlikely Allies

    POV: Maya The bond between Seraphina and me was worse than torture. At least torture ended eventually. This was constant. Every waking moment, I felt her emotions bleeding into mine. Her thoughts brushing against my consciousness. Her presence in my mind like a splinter I couldn't remove. And the worst part? I couldn't lie to her anymore. Couldn't hide. The bond stripped away every pretense, every wall, every carefully constructed defense. She felt my pain. The constant, grinding pain that never stopped. The trauma that lived in my bones and breathed with my lungs. And I felt hers. Seraphina Blackwood, the perfect Luna, was terrified. Not of death or war or the Mother Below. She was terrified of being inadequate. Of not being enough. Of everyone discovering she was just a girl playing at being a leader and failing at both. It would have been satisfying if it wasn't so uncomfortable. Knowing your enemy's deepest fears should feel like power. Instead, it just felt invasive. Wrong.

    "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for scaring them. I'm sorry for a lot of things." I took a breath, knowing what I had to say next would destroy her. "But most of all, I'm sorry for what I did to you. My name is Seraphina Blackwood. I'm the Luna who framed you for murders you didn't commit. I'm the one who poisoned you. Who tried to execute you publicly. Who hunted you across territories and made you into the weapon you never wanted to be." The coffee shop started flickering. Like a video with a bad connection. The friends' faces glitched. The walls rippled. "Stop," Maya whispered. "Please stop talking." "I can't. You're dying, Maya. Your real body is dying right now. You have maybe a minute before it's permanent. Before you erase yourself from reality and become nothing but a ghost in this illusion." "Why?" Maya's voice broke. "Why are you telling me this? Why can't you just let me be happy?" That question hurt more than any wound I'd ever received. Because she was right. The kind t

  • MATED TO MY BULLIES    Chapter 122: The Cost of Illusion

    POV: Seraphina The bond was killing me. I felt Maya slipping away, her consciousness fading like water through my fingers. The magical connection the Mother Below had forced between us pulled taut, stretching thin, threatening to snap. And when it snapped, I'd die too. That was the deal. Bound together until humanity's threat was ended. If one died, both died. I should have been angry. I should have been calculating how to break the bond, how to save myself. But all I felt was terror. Maya was dying and I couldn't let her. Not because of the bond. Not because I needed her to survive. But because somewhere in the past few days of forced proximity, of feeling her emotions bleed through our connection, I'd started to understand her. And understanding had led to something I never expected. I cared. "Morrison!" I grabbed the doctor's coat, pulling him close. "How do I reach her? How do I get into wherever she is?" "You can't. The trial dimension is sealed. Only Maya can.."

  • MATED TO MY BULLIES    Chapter 121: The Price of Passing

    POV: Maya Alexei sat on the ground, staring at nothing. He'd been like that for twenty minutes, ever since Dr. Morrison told him about his father. The mark on his wrist seemed to mock him, proof of a choice he'd made without knowing its true cost. I knelt beside him, unsure what to say. What comfort could I offer? He'd sacrificed his father for me. His living, suffering father. And I hadn't even known. "We'll find him," I said finally. "Konstantin. We'll locate the black site and get him out." "No." The word came from everywhere and nowhere. The Mother Below's presence materialized between us, not her full form but enough to make every wolf in the area back away instinctively. "No?" I stood, facing her. "You don't get to say no. Alexei passed your trial. He earned the mark. You can't punish him for making the right choice according to your own rules." "I'm not punishing him," the Mother Below said, amused. "I'm ensuring the trial means something. Alexei chose duty over family.
