2025-07-06 11:00:25CHAPTER 29 – THE CALL OF BLOOD AND SHADOWS
I woke before dawn, my body still heavy even though I’d slept soundly that night. The familiar scent of herbs and antiseptic from Dr. Sarah’s animal clinic hung in the air, but this morning, something felt different—a kind of restlessness clung to my skin, making it hard to breathe freely. I sat on the edge of the small bed in the back room of the clinic, staring at the wing symbol on my wrist. Its silvery glow was almost gone, but I knew the power hadn’t truly faded. It was only waiting, just like me.
I’d been hiding here for almost a week, living a simple routine: caring for animals, cleaning cages, learning from Dr. Sarah about herbal concoctions that could mask my aura. Every morning, I drank the bitter potion she gave me, hoping the hunters would lose my trail. But last night, I had a strange dream—the full moon hung low in the sky, and the sound of wolves howling

CHAPTER 44 – ON THE EDGE OF AWAKENING.The night sky loomed dark above Silverwood, hiding the stars behind a veil of thin clouds like a gray shroud of time. In the distance, a light drizzle began to fall, gently soaking the wooden rooftops of Kael’s ranch and releasing the sharp, fresh scent of earth and green grass—once trampled by the thousand steps of wolves. There, in the stillness of a night that had forgotten how to breathe, two souls stepped onto the grounds with steady strides.Aria and Kael approached the ranch with heavy breath. The air was cold and biting, but they didn’t shiver. Something colder had touched them already—ever since the news from Blue Stone, ever since Kael’s howl of grief had shattered the silence of the world.The heavy wooden door creaked open as they arrived, met by a wave of warm air from inside and the low howls of the guarding wolves. No one spoke, but every eye followed Aria

Chapter 43 – THE UNDYING FLAMEPOV: AriaThe night air still blanketed Silverwood in a lingering chill, though not as piercing as the nights before. Something had shifted—maybe because the tension had hardened into resolve, or because the fear within me had found a defined enemy. The road ahead was still dark, but I no longer felt alone.I sat on the edge of an empty bed in the clinic, right where Luna had once lain. The scent of herbs and antiseptic still hung in the air, but there was no stir from the blankets, no breath from the sister I loved. Only the faint trace of her presence remained, incomplete and fading.Then a familiar sound floated in through the open window—soft, yet searing. A long, deep howl full of pain. My body shot up at once.Kael.I didn’t wait. My feet moved before my mind even issued the command. I pushed the clinic door open and froze. There he was—a massi

CHAPTER 42 — A LIGHT BEHIND THE CURTAINThe night air still held a biting chill, slipping through the cracks in the old wooden walls of Dr. Hayes’ clinic. Even though the hearth in the corner glowed softly and the oil lamp hanging from the ceiling cast a warm golden light, the wind outside still managed to creep along the skin with a gentle but relentless cold. The clinic—usually the safest refuge—felt too quiet tonight. Too fragile.The lamp’s glow sent tiny shadows dancing across the walls and table, as if something alive lurked behind every corner. The scent of herbs and alcohol from the small medicine shelf dominated the air, mingling with the aroma of gently steaming chicken soup from the clay bowl on the center table. Across from me, Dr. Hayes gently pushed that bowl toward me.“Here. Sit. Eat something before your body completely gives out,” he said softly, though there was weight in his voice. It

CHAPTER 41 — TRACES OF POISON.I don’t remember exactly when I fell asleep.Maybe it was right after we arrived in Silverwood, or maybe it was my body, too exhausted, finally giving in to the toll of the journey and the constant tension I had been carrying.All I remembered was the sound of the river outside the window, flowing gently, and the embrace of the night—comforting, for the first time in a long while.It felt like breathing in a safe place.The air I drew in met no resistance. Not like the nights before, when every breath felt laced with caution.Now, my body finally softened—like fabric slipping free from a hook. For a moment... I could be fragile.I sat in a wooden chair by the window of the tiny bedroom in Dr. Hayes’ clinic.Moonlight filtered through the cracked frosted glass, casting a soft reflection on the tiled floor.I stared at the full moon as it emerged fully

CHAPTER 40 — ASH BENEATH THE SKYThe night forest had turned into something foreign. There were no hoots from night birds, no rustling from small creatures. It was as if the world held its breath—watching as three shadows streaked through the darkness like black lightning. Only the whisper of the wind and the soft crunch of dried leaves underfoot resonated now and then as sharp claws touched the ground.Kael led the way. His wolf form stood tall, his jet-black fur glistening under the moonlight. His golden eyes burned like embers in the night, speaking volumes without words: anger, fear, and resolve. Marcus, burlier and covered in reddish-brown fur, followed with heavy breaths. Each of his steps pounded like war drums against the cold earth. Behind them, Elena ran in near silence. Compared to the other two, she was sleeker and more agile, her reddish-gray fur shimmering like flames dancing in the wind.The three of them moved as one,

Chapter 39: Beneath the Shadow of the MoonThe forest looked like a dark labyrinth, with towering tree silhouettes dangling like shadowy hands trying to reach us. The night wind slipped through the gaps in my clothes, stealing what little warmth was left in my body—already drained by magic and exhaustion. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and aged humus—ordinarily calming, yet tonight, it only added to the weight pressing on my chest.Luna lay fragile in my arms, her body featherlight yet burdened with the weight of the world. Her skin was cold, her breaths short and labored—like a candle's flame barely clinging to life. Every step I took dragged memories, guilt, loss, and fear behind me—all piled into the silence I carried.Kael, Marcus, and Elena moved ahead of me, their steps quick and nimble between jutting roots and wild underbrush. The narrow footpath was barely visible, yet they avoided snags of roots and soft earth with ease. I tried to keep pace, but every system
