Mate Rebound Chapter Hundred and Thirty Six
Jasmine’s POV“We weren’t ever supposed to be in existence at the same time.”That’s what the file said. In Sabrina’s red-marked ledger, under a heading marked “Protocol Failures.”It named us both.Me… and Vira.The notation beside her name explained:“If Jasmine Hale comes off, kill Vira 3.0.”“And if she doesn’t, Vira will.”I read those words for a few hours before I told anybody.It was because I wasn’t supposed to survive with her.Only instead of her.We arrived at the south wing of the Hollow Keep at nightfall.Here, the structure was even more so, shattered from the inside out. Runes had peeled from the walls, and the corridors were half collapsed. They kept the “unusable” prototypes, the broken wolves, in here. The ones who screamed for too long, or did not scream at all.Elara walked silently by my side.Lyra, Damien, and Caspian are in the rear.None of us spoke.Until Cressida was gone into the dark, that is, with one last threat on her lips.But the air down here hummed
Mate Rebound Chapter Hundred and Thirty Five
Elara’s POV~Cressida was in the hallway as if she’d never left it — as if she’d merely been waiting for what felt like years now, for the walls to remember her name, for the air to mold itself back into place around her body.She looked far from angry.That would’ve been easier.Rage could be fought.But this... this was worse.She smiled at Damien, and there was sorrow carved into her smile. “You’re the one who left me,” she said, again in a whisper.And Damien couldn’t speak.His mouth opened.Closed.A step forward—then he froze.I stepped in front of him.Her eyes flicked to me.They had the same deep glow of red that bubbled in Jasmine’s rune when she slipped control. But Cressida’s weren’t fraying. They weren’t flickering. They were focused.Damien found his voice. “You died.”“I did,” she said. “And you let me.”No one moved.No one breathed.I heard Jasmine whisper behind me, "She's stable now."Caspian nodded grimly. “And she’s reading us.”I knew that too. I felt it.The sl
Mate Rebound Chapter Hundred and Thirty Four
Elara’s POV~I woke up before dawn the next day with my shard thrumming beneath my ribs.Lyra wasn’t in her bunk, Neither was Damien.Something about this place was changing, just under the surface. Something old. Buried. Called back.I found Nox sitting at the bank of the frozen stream, staring down at the ice.“She was not supposed to wake up,” he said before I could say anything. “Not her. Not now.”I crouched beside him, confused. “Who’s she?”He didn’t answer.But I sensed the fear roll off him like mist.“She was one of the first,” Nox said at last. “Before the protocols. Before, even Sabrina turned. They named her the girl who should be dead.”“And now?”His jaw tightened. “Now she isn’t.”When I found Damien, he wouldn’t let me look at him.He was moving, as if his body were unable to handle the truth it already knew.“You knew her,” I said, standing close enough that my voice could snap between us.He didn’t deny it.“She died in the first purge,” he added. “Sabrina never rev
Mate Rebound Chapter Hundred and Thirty Three
Damien’s POV~Some memories live in your blood. They’re always out there… no matter how far you run, no matter how many lifetimes you rule, they’ll wait for you. Sleeping.Until they wake.And tonight, something woke them.It started just after midnight. I’d been pacing again, unable to sleep. The air was too calm, the fire too hot, the echoes of Elara’s feet haunting my ears for hours past.I wanted to see her again.But I didn’t deserve more of her time. Not yet.So I wandered.And then, as if a string that was pulling through my chest got tightened, I felt it.A pulse.Soft. Measured.A rune.It didn’t scream. It didn’t flare. It called.Not by name.But by memory.I followed it.Through the pines and winter-burnt underbrush, beyond the still creek that had served as the boundary for the wards of the camp. It should’ve been dead ground—untouched. But the trees here were older. Curved as though they’d grown out to escape something.That’s when I saw it.A mark.Barely visible near t
Mate Rebound Chapter Hundred and Thirty Two
Elara’s POV~We hadn’t moved out yet. Lyra was finishing up maps and runes for the Hollow Keep mission. Jasmine and Caspian had emerged from Mirror Vale shaken but whole, but Jasmine hadn’t had much to say since then.Damien kept close, but not too close.Which made it worse.Because now I miss the him who didn’t know how to keep his distance.I was in the training yard, alone, throwing a knife against the old oak post, which had first been a target board about the time when war burned away most of the paint. My aim was off. My balance is too tight.I was falling apart and acting like I wasn’t.So when I heard footsteps behind me, I didn’t turn.I only said, “You don’t sneak up on a woman with a knife”.Damien’s voice was quiet. “Well, that’s lucky, cause I wasn’t, anyway.”I turned anyway.He was standing in the shadow of the snow, his jacket unzipped, his hands bare despite the cold. His face unreadable, though I knew that expression all too well.Guilt worn like armor.And possibly
Mate Rebound Chapter Hundred and Thirty One
Lyra’s POV~I skimmed my fingers over the torn edge of the ledger, squinting, my heart beating too loud for my liking. Dust settled like ash in the air. The archives in the basement of the Academy were colder than I remembered.The one I was holding bore Sabrina’s sigil.I hadn’t meant to find it. I’d been searching for more information about the Broken Protocol, about something that could help Jasmine. But the words startled me in the instant I saw them.Unstable Assets – Crownless Tier IICategory: Twin-Blooded WerewolvesNotes: Emotionally sensitive. Bond dependent.

See the attached name log.Subject 03L: Lyra Vale.My throat closed.I read it twice, wondering if I had read the name wrong. But it was mine. There, in this tasteful paper, to have me shoved like I were an item. A warning label.Not because I was
