ANMELDENElara didn't wait for Riven to open the cell door.She stepped straight up to the heavy iron bars, reached through, and grabbed the thick silver chains holding Lucan to the wall.The moment her skin touched the pure metal, a sharp hiss filled the dark corridor. Smoke curled from her palms, the silver burning deep into her flesh, but Elara didn't flinch. She didn't let go. She tightened her grip, yanking the chains hard and slamming Lucan’s face against the metal bars."Who is he?!" Elara screamed, her eyes blazing with absolute fury as she glared through the bars, inches from his face. "The ancient Alpha your father worked with! Who is he, Lucan?!"Riven gasped, his eyes wide with horror as he stared at her raw, blistered hands still clinging to the burning metal. "Elara...your hands, let go—""I don't give a damn about my hands!" Elara seethed, her voice shaking the cold stone walls as she yanked the chains again. The smell of scorched skin filled the tight air, but her posture
Selena left, and Willow stepped onto the porch to call Dorian.Inside, the house went dead silent. Elara’s eyes drifted across the room and landed on the empty bassinet in the corner.A choked sob broke from her chest. Her legs gave out, and she sank onto the sofa, burying her face in her hands as tears spilled over her knuckles.Riven was beside her in a second. He dropped to his knees, gently pulling her hands away from her face so she had to look at him."Elara," he said softly, his hands firm on her wrists. "Why are you crying? Look at me. Everything is going to be okay. We are going to find him.""I miss him, Riven," she sobbed, her voice breaking. "I just miss my baby."She grabbed the front of his shirt, her eyes wide with raw agony."What's the point of all this power? What's the point of these titles, these packs, and all this magic... if we couldn't even save our own son?"Riven pulled her closer, wrapping his arms around her until she was buried against his chest. H
The moment the magic of the winnowing cleared, the suffocating stench of dark magic all over the mansion hit them, mixed with the sharp metallic smell of blood.Willow was on her knees near the hearth, bent over and sobbing. Dark red blood dripped from her nose and ears, splattering against the rug.Elara rushed across the room with Selena right behind her. They dropped to the floor beside the trembling girl. Elara wrapped her arms around Willow's shoulders while Selena pressed her glowing palms to Willow’s temples, weaving light magic to soothe the pressure crushing her mind."Willow! Look at me," Elara said, her voice cracking as she held her. "We’re here. You’re safe."Riven stood over them, motionless. His aura condensed into an ice-cold stillness that made the air feel heavy."Where is Dorian?" Riven asked, his voice flat, and devoid of warmth.Willow flinched, wiping her face with a bloody sleeve. Her whole frame shuddered as she looked up into Riven's blacked-out eyes.
The grey-haired elder bowed his head even lower, his hands trembling with remorse. "We are especially sorry for making you suffer for so long under a fake prophecy, Alpha Elara. We forced you to hide, and we made you believe your beautiful white hair was something you should be ashamed of, when it was the very mark of your royal lineage."Elara looked at the elders, her expression calm but carrying the full weight of her authority. "The past cannot be undone," she said, her voice steady and clear. "You were blinded by a tyrant's magic, but the fog has cleared. Silvermoon will no longer live in the shadows of shame or false words."Selena stepped forward, her robes rustling as she raised her hands in a quiet blessing. "The Moon Goddess judges the heart, not the illusions cast by evil men. Your repentance is noted, and the spirits of Silvermoon’s ancestors finally rest easy knowing their true bloodline has reclaimed this ground."A heavy silence settled over the room as the final me
Zara stepped up to the bassinet, her heels clicking softly against the hardwood floor. She looked down at the newborn, a slow, mocking smile spreading across her face before she reached in and scooped the sleeping alpha pup into her arms.Pinned hard against the wall, Dorian and Willow thrashed against the crushing weight of the shadow's magic that kept them frozen to the wall..."Put him down!" Dorian roared, his wolf clawing furiously beneath his skin, trying to break the barrier. "Touch him and I will tear you limb from limb, Zara! Put the baby down!""Leave him alone, you psychotic bitch!" Willow screamed, spitting a barrage of curses as she tried to force her magic to ignite. "Don't you dare touch him! If you hurt him, Riven will hunt you to the ends of the earth!"Zara completely ignored their threats, adjusting the infant in her arms with sickening ease. She turned slowly to face the struggling wolves, her eyes gleaming with absolute malice as she took in their desperate,
"What do you mean?" Riven’s voice dropped, a hard, dangerous edge cutting through his tone. He stepped closer to the Priestess, his aura flaring slightly with the demanding weight of an Alpha. "Selena, if there is a threat coming for my mate and my son, I need a name. Elaborate. Who are we dealing with?"Selena met his gaze steadily, though her hands trembled slightly beneath her robes. "I cannot, Riven. Not yet. Giving a name to an ancient shadow gives it power, and right now, I have only suspicions based on old lore. If I am wrong, I cause unnecessary panic. If I am right... I need time to consult the sacred texts to be absolutely certain how to fight it."Riven looked ready to argue, his jaw tight with frustration, but Elara gently placed a hand on his chest, her touch instantly soothing his rising temper. He took a heavy breath, forcing his posture to relax, though his eyes remained guarded."Fine," Riven growled softly. "But the moment you know something concrete, you tell us
Episode 6 Elara woke with a groan and a gasp. The world was upside down and it was moving. She could not feel her legs, only the dull pain of something weighing on her stomach. Or her stomach weighing on something, she couldn't tell. She blinked a few times to clear her head. "what... Where am
Chapter 5 "Isn't your concubine leaving too?" Elara asked. "Do as you're told, Luna. Don't question me in front of my peers." Like a bolt of lightening, her dreams barrelled into her. She turned towards Morgana who was looking disappointed and angry, then to Lucan who's eyes had already moved
"Fireheart" Elara found herself in front of the same large moon again. She immediately knew it was a dream. "Fireheart. See." This time, Elara did not speak back, she waited for the moon to shimmer like it did before, she wanted a good look at the image she had seen before. When the moon be
Chapter 3 When Elara finally got out and joined the party, she stood at the door to the great Hall, heart hammering in her chest! The party looked like it had been made for Sera. There was pink everywhere!! The linens and ribbons and towels were all various shades of pink. Not a hint of the
