The night was still. Too still. Eryx’s presence had shifted something in the air, like the scent before lightning strikes. Something was coming. Something vast. And I could feel it inside me, like my bones had turned to stars trying to scream.

Kael hadn’t spoken to me since the hallway.

He disappeared into the war chambers with Cyria, Edgar trailing behind with nervous pastries. I didn’t stop him. He needed space.

But I needed answers.

And I knew who had them.

I found Eryx alone in the old observatory, surrounded by star maps and ancient glass. His hand was cupped beneath a candle, light flickering across runes inked in ash across his palm.

“You’re afraid,” he said before I could speak.

I leaned against the doorframe. “You’re observant.”

He smiled. “No. I feel it. You think it’s power humming in your veins, but it’s something else.”

I crossed the room. “Then tell me. No riddles.”

He held my gaze. “You are not just the girl who broke a curse. You're not just Kael’s miracle. You are a t

    The cursed child didn’t cry. He stood in the middle of the war room, ash clinging to his hair like crownless soot, his eyes glowing gold-red, not fully wolf, not fully human. Just... broken magic shaped into flesh.Kael stood beside me, tense, his jaw locked. “That’s not possible. This child was never born.”Selene didn’t move.Not even when I stepped toward her, whispering, “You knew. Didn’t you?”Her silence was deafening.The boy turned his gaze to me. “You’re the one who changed the curse. You turned pain into sanctuary. But someone had to bear the price.”Kael reached for his blade. “What price?”The boy pointed to Selene.“She bore me.”A silence tore through the room like a sword.“What?” I whispered.Selene still didn’t move. But her lip trembled.“I didn’t tell you because I couldn’t,” she said finally. “Because if I told you the truth, Lyra, you would have tried to save me. And I didn’t want saving.”Kael growled, voice low. “He’s part of the curse?”Selene stepped forward.

    The Rotunda's silence was deceptive, beneath its grand stained-glass dome, it echoed with unreadable tension. The aftermath of the battle had settled like dust on every surface, but peace was far from ours. Kael stood beside me, fingers intertwined with mine, his jaw tight and eyes distant. There was a question lingering in him he hadn’t asked yet.Edgar flapped by and perched on the rim of a shattered chandelier. “We still pretending everything’s fine, or can I start the sarcasm now?”I smirked. “Start small. We’re still breathing.”Selene entered, hair damp with rain, eyes sharp with something unreadable. She dropped a scroll on the table between us. “You need to see this.”Kael lifted it first. A Council seal, broken.Inside, a confession inked in charcoal strokes:“The blood curse had a twin. A secondary enchantment locked behind a single mind. Not Lyra. Not Kael. Selene.”My fingers went cold. “What is this?”Kael read the next line aloud, slower this time:“Should the first curs

    The sea screamed against the jagged cliffs of Aethercliff, as though mourning the remnants of a kingdom long drowned by betrayal. Towering waves crashed over broken spires and crumbled towers, hurling salt and wind into the heavens like a curse still echoing.I stood at the edge of the broken path leading into the ruins, my cloak whipping around me like wings made of shadow and fire. Callum was behind me, sword strapped to his back, eyes fixed on the entrance to the drowned sanctum.“This is where he bound it?” I asked.Callum nodded. “Aethercliff was once a sanctuary for seers and spirit-weavers. Kael found the first blade here… the one he used to sacrifice himself.”“And now we find its twin,” I muttered, voice hardening.“To unmake him,” Callum said flatly.I glanced at him.“No,” I said. “To give him a choice. One last chance.”Inside, the ruins whispered. Old magic lay thick in the air, damp, weeping, and bitter. The arches were carved with runes that pulsed faintly as they walke

    I stormed into the fortress like a blade unsheathed. I didn’t speak to anyone, ignored guards, skipped the council meeting, and climbed the spiraling stairs to the tower I once shared with Kael. My chest ached with betrayal and something heavier, grief. Not the kind you cry through, but the kind that calcifies in your bones.Kael had died.No, worse, he had chosen to become something else, something unreachable.I slammed the door behind me and pressed both palms to the cold stone wall. My breaths came out in ragged pulls as I tried to steady myself, but the memory of Kael’s voice still echoed.“The curse is no longer free. It’s inside me.”And the way he’d said it, with no regret, no fear, sent an iciness down my spine.There was no trace of the man who once kissed my knuckles like they were relics. No tremble in his voice when he said my name. No fire in his eyes that matched mine when the world tried to tear them apart.She hadn’t just lost him.She’d lost what they were. Callum fo

    The forest near the chasm moaned with unnatural wind. Kael stood alone in a clearing just beyond the cursed edge, the scroll unfurled before him, the symbols glowing red under the moonlight. His hands trembled, not from fear, but from the curse curling tighter in his chest, threatening to take over his entire being.The cursed dagger pulsed at his side, hungrier than ever.“Just a little longer,” he murmured to himself.He’d spent the last twelve hours gathering the required relics, blood root harvested at midnight, soil from a grave older than a hundred years, and a vessel, a body that could walk between life and death. And Kael had chosen himself.Not as a hero, but as a revenant If he survived the ritual. The first rune burned into his skin as he pressed his palm to the soil. His blood hissed against the earth like oil over fire.The ground opened. Not physically, but metaphysically, his mind split open, and through the widening crack, he felt it.The Curse.It wasn’t just a force

    The fire crackled low in the war room hearth, casting flickering shadows across the map-strewn table. I sat at the head, my arms folded, m gaze sharp but distant. My fingers drummed lightly against the wood, not from impatience, but from thought. Callum Vire stood at my right side, arms crossed, his expression unreadable but alert.It had been six days since Kael left. Six days of silence. No messages. No return. No explanation, and still, no peace.I hadn’t cried. Not once. I didn’t have time for tears. Or sentiment. Or the ghosts of someone who had shattered my trust like stained glass beneath booted feet, but I did have time for questions. For plans, and for allies, especially the kind with dangerously charming smiles and a twisted past that rivaled Kael’s.“So,” I finally said, not looking up, “what’s the real reason you came back from exile, Callum?”He leaned against the table, that grin tugging at his lips. “Straight to the point. I like that.”“I’m not here to flirt.”“Pity,”
