ELARA’S P.O.V.

A cold chill slid down my spine like the metal tip of a blade as the messenger lifted a hand dismissively, and the creature behind him lowered its head as if obeying a master.

He controlled shadows…. He was a reaper.

My lips parted in shock as terror consumed me. I had never crossed a real reaper until Lucien, and now I had met two.

If they were real and there was a force of them, then I had to wonder what else was out there.

My eyes shot back to Sarah, where she was still flickering faintly. Her skin still looked too pale, and her breathing looked rapid, but even she was glaring at me with a mixture of anger and pain.

Glancing down at her arms, I noticed the dark bruising on her pale skin and raw flesh beneath the shackles around her wrists.

She wasn’t just being held. She was being tortured. Again.

“Sarah?” My voice cracked. “What are they doing to you?”

Her mouth opened as her eyes narrowed, but the messenger answered instead.

“That’s nothing you need to

  • The Alpha's Only Weakness   Eighty-Five

    ELARA’S P.O.V.I didn’t leave Sarah's side until the next day. I refused.The sedation had been wearing off faster with each dose, and I knew they couldn’t continue to give it to her for much longer. Even if they did, I wasn't sure it would work. Her wolf was working its hardest to heal her.As she started to stir, I moved over to the bed, sitting on the edge of it, brushing a few tangled strands of hair from her face.“You’re safe now,” I whispered as my voice cracked. She was my baby sister, and I had let her down. I had left her behind. “I promise.”Sarah's eyes fluttered open, and I quickly pulled my hand away as she spoke. “Elara?” Her voice sounded gravelly and rough, as if she had been screaming for hours instead of sleeping for the past day.“I’m here,” I said, giving her a weak smile as I fought back my tears.“Can you… I want you to go.” She said, and my heart dropped to my stomach. "Please leave."“What?”“I just want to be alone,” she murmured weakly, gently touching her

    ELARA’s P.O.V. The name felt strange on my tongue, and my knees threatened to buckle when our matching eyes met. She looked so frail and broken that it hurt to look at her, yet I couldn’t tear my eyes away. After all this time, she was finally here and free. “She needs a healer,” Lucien said to me softly, and tears filled my eyes as I nodded, still too stunned to move. Alive. After everything… she was alive. She had been in the dungeons for years, and after the King set his messenger here, I was convinced that she would have been dead or unreachable. But Lucien did it. He had saved her for me just like he had promised. I took a step closer, my eyes tracing the bruises on her arms, the hollowed cheeks, the way her fingers twitched weakly against Lucien’s chest as if she were trying to grab his shirt but couldn’t. “She’s been in the King’s dungeon,” he continued quietly, and I winced. I had angered the King’s counsel and probably the King himself after his messenger’s visit,

  • The Alpha's Only Weakness   Eighty-Three

    ELARA’S P.O.V.The library was quiet and peaceful. Jax was on the second floor, reading through more books and scrolls with Hera. Braden had to return to lead the pack’s daily training to avoid raising concern among the pack or making anything seem suspicious, and they all agreed that I needed to stay here and practice using my light.The light that heated and bubbled in my chest, but otherwise, wouldn’t move.I sat alone before the fireplace, the backs of my hands resting on my knees, with my eyes closed, breathing slowly.In. Out. In. Out.With each breath, I tried to pull the light from my chest, urging the warmth to move to my shoulders, down my arms, and to my fingers.Heat pricked behind my eyes with failure as the warmth of my gift began to fade. I had been at it for hours, and so far, all I had done was heal a cut on Jax’s hand when he decided hurting himself would be the best and only way to get my gift to the surface.But as soon as he was healed, the light was gone.I coul

  • The Alpha's Only Weakness   Eighty-Two

    LUCIEN’S P.O.V.The dungeon reeked of rotting bodies and feces as I entered from the shadows, the scent hitting me like a punch.Chains scraped faintly against stone as I moved through the corridor, shadows flowing ahead of me, searching high and low. The guards stationed outside the cells didn’t have time to cry out before their necks were snapped. They didn’t have time to set off any alarms, and I refused to leave witnesses if I could help it. My wolf prowled beneath my skin, restless and violent, urging me forward. Elara’s scent clung to me, grounding me just enough to keep my control intact. If I lost myself here, I might never find my way back to her.And I needed to come back. I needed her.The corridor narrowed, torchlight flickering against damp walls the further I walked. My hand brushed the iron door at the end of the hall, and the darkness surged forward, snapping the hinges like bones before I reached it. Inside, the cell was dirty, cold, and small.In the corner, curl

    ELARA’S P.O.V.We reached the border of the Bloodcrest Pack just as dawn fell. The sky was illuminated in bright pink and orange, as if celebrating our return home with the rest of the pack. Home.The word felt strange still. I had never felt at home in my old pack, but it was odd to think this place I hadn’t explored yet, full of people I didn’t know, was now my home.The guards stationed on the border straightened when they spotted us, relief flashing across their faces as we crossed onto our territory. Whispers rippled through the pack as we entered the town, eyes all landing on Lucien as he let our exhausted group back to the pack house. A few cheered, and some welcomed us back, but no one asked questions.The moment we crossed the threshold, the weight on my chest finally lessened. The forest, the rogues, the bloodshed…it all fell away. I wanted nothing more than to take a hot shower and pretend like none of this ever happened, at least for a few hours anyway.For the first ti

    ELARA’S P.O.V.The camp was quiet as we all settled into our new space. We were back against the boulder after rinsing off in the stream.No one mentioned Abigail again, and I was grateful for it.But it did make me wonder how often she ran off to throw fits since this seemed to be normal for them. The entire time, I could feel Lucien’s stare burning into the side of my head. Yet, I couldn’t find it in me to put on a fake smile for him, so I kept my gaze on anything but him. My mind felt full. There was too much I was trying to sort through, and it was exhausting. Seeing his concern and guilt wouldn’t help matters. Even so, sleep didn’t come easily.Every time I closed my eyes, I watched the crimson blood dripping from Lucien’s jaws, soaking into the dirt. Then he would turn to me, his eyes filled with excitement and enjoyment, before he launched at his next kill.I had seen people die in battle before, so this should have been nothing new, yet it was. Lucien lay nearby in his ski
