INICIAR SESIÓNSeraphines Pov“No,” Blake said quietly. “You walked into my trap.”The words had barely settled when.. A disturbance broke through the midst of the wolves..And every head quickly turned as a Clawfrost servant stumbled in, breathless, with dirt smeared across her face as she forced something no, someone.. forward.A small figure that was fighting weakly in the sack the servant held My heart stopped.Time slowed.No.No.. It couldn’t be.The servant shoved the hostage forward, and the body collapsed to the ground with a soft, broken sound and the sack slowly opened.My knees hit the floor before my mind could catch up.“Aurelian…”The name left my lips as a whisper as a chant, as a prayer.. As a denial.He looked up and I saw as tears fell from his face.“Mama…”The world shattered and everything else faded.The war.The blood.The screams.None of it mattered.. Only him.. Only my son.“What is this?” Darius’s voice cut through the silence, sharp, lethal.But even he.. Even he sound
Darius povBlake did not run, he did not hesitate and the moment the distance between us closed.. He attacked.Fast.Savage and unrelenting… I expected nothing less from a man of his status.Steel never had a chance to matter because you see this was not a regular kind of fight, this was not a fight for weapons.This was a fight for dominance.. For blood and for legacy.I barely blocked the first strike as his fist slammed into me, the force of it sending a sharp jolt through my ribs. I retaliated immediately, driving my elbow into his side.. but he twisted, shifting mid-motion.. Man to wolf.. Fur erupted through skin.. Bones cracked and reformed.And then..I shifted with him and as Chiron took over the world snapped into sharper focus as meeting his force with equal brutality. We collided, bodies slamming into each other with a violence that shook the tent.There was no hesitation and no restraint and before I knew it we had broken through from the tent and were now out in the o
Seraphine povI woke up to an emptiness that felt wrong.. I mean I was somehow used to waking up with no warmth beside me but this time with everything that was going on it felt wrong and scary...For a brief moment, panic clawed its way up my chest..Then the door opened and Darius stepped in.And just like that… I could breathe again.My eyes dropped instantly to what he carried.Chains.That felt familiar and wrong in a way I couldn’t explain.Something odd clung to them, something that made my wolf stir uneasily beneath my skin.“Those are the chains you had spoken about in the meeting.. You found them,” I said quietly.“I did.”He didn’t say more, but he didn’t need to. I could see it in his eyes.. the certainty, the readiness, the storm that had already begun.“This ends soon so stay with Aurelian,” he added.“No,” I said, stepping toward him. “Not without me.”His expression hardened immediately.“Sera..”“I’m not staying behind,” I cut in, my voice steady despite the fear tha
Darius povI found her exactly where I knew she would be waiting.Seraphine stood just outside the war chamber doors, her fingers clasped tightly together, her posture still but her eyes restless. The moment she saw me, something in her expression shifted.. like she had finally forced herself to stand upright after carrying something too heavy for too long.“I need to speak with you,” she said, her voice steady… but only just. “Now. I’ve… found my strength.”I studied her for a second then I nodded with a smile on my face.“Come.”We walked in silence back to my chambers, the distance feeling shorter than usual, as though whatever she carried was pulling us there faster. The moment the door closed behind us, she exhaled sharply, like she had been holding her breath the entire time.“Liora was in Clawfrost,” she began.“I know.”She stilled, clearly not expecting that, but continued anyway.“She found me. Told me things…” Her voice wavered slightly before she steadied it again. “She
Darius PovThe corridor felt colder the moment I walked away from her.It wasn’t the air.It was the distance.I could still feel it, whatever she had been holding back, whatever storm sat behind her eyes.. it followed me like a shadow I couldn’t shake.“Alpha.”I didn’t slow down as Ravik fell into step beside me anyway.“You look like hell,” he added bluntly.I let out a quiet breath, dragging a hand across my face before answering.“I’m getting there.”Ravik glanced at me sideways, clearly unconvinced but wise enough not to push. War had stripped all of us down to essentials. Questions could wait. Survival could not.Still, his voice softened slightly.“She’s back, is she alright?”That made me pause but just for a second I couldn’t let him know how affected I was about her disappearance last night.“She will be,” I said, though the words felt more like a promise than a truth.Ravik nodded, accepting it for what it was, and the rest of the walk passed in silence.By the time we rea
Seraphine PovThe journey back home felt longer than the one that had taken me there.Every step towards Clawfrost felt heavier like the earth itself was trying to drag me back to the ruins… back to him… back to the truth I could no longer escape.‘Three days.’The words echoed in my head like a curse.. Three days to choose.. Three days to decide who lived……and who died.By the time the gates of Clawfrost came into view, my chest ached from the weight of it all.I pulled my cloak tighter around me and slipped inside with the early morning movement of guards shifts, keeping my head low and my steps quiet.No one stopped me and no one noticed.Good.. Because I didn’t know what I would say if they did.I didn’t know how to carry this without it spilling without it breaking me open completely.The halls were already bubby and busy when I entered.War was coming.. and everyone could feel it, everyone except them, everyone except the ones who didn’t know the truth about what had happened i
Darius POVWait.. wait a minute..Hold up..What did I just hear?"What did you say?" I asked, my voice dropping into a low, dangerous register. I wasn't sure I had heard her correctly over the roar of the storm.Was she crazy? Why was she repeatedly saying this over and over again..Was she trying
Seraphine povThe courtyard air felt too tight to breathe.Like the sky itself had lowered just to listen.I stood beside Darius, my fingers curled into the fabric of my sleeve, watching the priestess with careful eyes. Something about the way she stood.. too certain, too calm and it unsettled me
Seraphine povThe room was quiet.Too quiet for my liking.. The only sound was the rain hitting the glass and the soft, steady breathing of our son on the bed. I was still sitting on Darius’s lap, my weight felt like a heavy promise between us. He looked like a statue.. strong, hard, and frozen
Liora POV Dinner was great if you asked me.. I loved how sweet and tasty every meal tasted, especially the roasted pork..I stayed seated long after the others had left the dining hall.The candles had burned low, wax spilling down their stems like melted bones. The storm outside rattled the tal
