Zara’s POV

My mother didn’t answer my question. Instead, she simply looked at me. The same people, old-time friends, looked at one another after years apart. Her eyes wandered over every part of my face and all over my body, as if she were trying to memorize me all over again. Her fingertips then again brushed gently through my hair before lingering against my cheek. Almost like she was trying to remind herself that all that was happening was real and not another dream that would disappear the

  • Marked by the Wolf King   The king beyond the veil.

    Zara’s POV I knew those heartbeats.I had heard them in the darkness. I had heard them between life and death, when my body was changing, and my mind was trying to make sense of what I was becoming. One of them was Karl’s. I would recognize it anymore. The other was stronger, steadier, and had a way of calming me down; it was far more difficult to mistake. Ryan.My entire body went rigid; how did they find this place? Did they know about it all this while? My eyes just remained fixed on the door. For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. It felt like I hadn’t seen him in a long time. A lot had happened since I had last looked into his cold eyes. I had found my mother. I had remembered the childhood I never knew I had lived. I had discovered my entire foundation was built on lies.And he was about to walk into the end of all places he could have found me; he had found me here.I looked at my mother immediately. The warmth that filled her face earlier had disappeared completely. She was no lon

  • Marked by the Wolf King   The price of power

    Zara’s POV “I was going to teach you slowly but…” she swallowed, and her voice dropped to a whisper. “…if the palace is awake…I have to teach you before it's too late.”What was going on? I stared at her longer than I should, trying to understand the sudden fear, but the more I looked at her face, the more I realized that she was not exaggerating. My mother is one of the strongest I know; if she is acting like this. Something must have gone wrong. The woman who had smiled at me only a moment ago, who laughed even when my jokes were bad, when I told her I still hated vegetables.My hands tightened around hers. “Too late for what?” I asked. But she did not answer me again. “Mother, please, you are scaring me.” The moment those words came out of my mouth, her golden eyes met mine again. “What does it mean that the palace has awakened?”I took a deep sigh and looked towards the window instead of answering me. Beyond the glass, the ocean remained beautiful and peaceful. I started to think

  • Marked by the Wolf King   The pathway

    Zara’s POV The warm water spilled slowly over my shoulder. The feeling was nothing I could describe, but the water carried away layers of dried blood, dirt, and exhaustion that had clung to my skin longer than they should have. I closed my eyes and simply stood there, letting the water run over my skin while steam gathered around until it felt like the outside world had disappeared. I hadn’t realized how heavy my body had become until that very moment.Every bruise left by the werewolves, by the humans, every ache from Ryan's relentless interrogations, every wound earned while Ryan practically killed me in the Chamber. Nothing can make me like him. he knew what I was yet…I took a deep sigh.The water turned faintly pink as it circled the drain, washing away the last bit of blood that made me a little human. I found myself staring at it till the pink slowly turned to white. A few days ago, I would have never paid any attention to it; it would have been silly to question something as o

  • Marked by the Wolf King   Echoes of the forgotten.

    Zara’s POV “I crossed the wolf territory, convinced of who the real monster was,” I said.My mother’s expression crumbled before my eyes. She looked heartbroken; she looked at me with the same sadness she had worn since I started telling her all that had happened, but something else settled beneath it. Guilt.The kind that she had buried for years, but resurfaced the moment I told her all about it. “My sunshine…” she whispered. “You carried all that alone.”I looked away. I didn’t want to cry anymore. “I didn’t think I was alone.” My fingers tightened against the fabric of my worn-out cloth. “I believed my life was…normal.”“No child should think losing her own memories is normal.”“I didn’t know they were memories.”“I am glad the humans didn’t realize what you were. I can’t imagine what they would have done to you.” The certainty in her voice made my chest tighten. I didn’t reply to her; I did not know how to.“Sometimes I dreamed about the sea. I used to think it was my imaginati

  • Marked by the Wolf King   The past

    Zara’s POV My mother didn’t answer my question. Instead, she simply looked at me. The same people, old-time friends, looked at one another after years apart. Her eyes wandered over every part of my face and all over my body, as if she were trying to memorize me all over again. Her fingertips then again brushed gently through my hair before lingering against my cheek. Almost like she was trying to remind herself that all that was happening was real and not another dream that would disappear the moment she reached for it.“I used to wonder…” she whispered, “…how much taller you had become.”I gave her a soft smile. And she smiled back, but not a happy one.“I wondered whether your hair would stay this dark.” She tucked a loose strand behind my ear. ‘Whether your eyes would still shine the way they used to when you laughed.” Her voice was cracking. “I even wondered if you still hated vegetables.Despite all that had happened, all that I had painfully discovered, a small laugh escaped me

  • Marked by the Wolf King   A mother’s embrace

    Zara's POVFor a long moment, I simply stood there, frozen, unable to make my body move. I wanted to argue; I didn’t want to accept that all this was true, but…my body punished me each time I tried to reject the truth.The cottage suddenly felt small, not because of its size, no, it looked much bigger on the inside. But because everything inside pressed against memories that were buried so deeply, I had spent years believing they never existed.The scent of the dried flowers hanging from the beams, the crackling fire warming the room, the blanket folded neatly across the chair by the window. The familiarity settled in my head with a painful certainty. None of it felt new. It felt like something I was used toI had never seen this place before. But I knew it, every corner of it.Then my eyes returned to the woman; she hadn’t moved. She held Kira the same way she held me years back, watching me with those same golden eyes I had seen inside the memories. Her eyes held so much warmth and p

  • Marked by the Wolf King   The lower Wing

    Zara’s POV The moment I stepped through the door, cold air rushed towards me like something alive. We walked into the same wide hall as before, but we moved in a different direction. This part felt odd compared to the others. The upper halls were silent, but this place felt worse, as if sound

  • Marked by the Wolf King   Human Greed

    Zara’s POV No one moved at first; they lingered where they stood, their attention shifted between him and me, like they were waiting for something to happen. Disappointment flickered on their faces as they all turned to leave. Ryan turned to Karl, “Even you, Karl.”Karl's gaze didn’t leave me.

  • Marked by the Wolf King   The Enemy Territory

    Zara’s POV The cold was the first thing I felt. It clung to my skin like a disease, settling into my bones. My eyes opened slowly, but I was surrounded by darkness. Not completely, a little orange dim light peeped somewhere beyond the bars in front of me. I stayed still for a moment, trying to

  • Marked by the Wolf King   The Greatest Mistake

    Zara's POVThe moment the gates closed behind us, everything changed. The air felt strange, slipping into my lungs with every breath till it burned. Even the wind sounded different out here, like it was trying to tell me something.The road ahead was empty and dark. My father rode down this sam
