LOGINSeraphine’s Pov‘Stop fighting me Seraphine.. LET ME OUT!’Everything hurt… Everywhere hurt.. Not just my body, not just my heart.. My soul.It felt like it was being torn apart from the inside, like something too big, too violent, too ancient was clawing its way through me, demanding to be seen… demanding to be unleashed.Darius was gone.I could still feel his blood on my hands, I could still feel the warmth of him fading beneath my touch.I could Still hear his voice..‘I choose you… always and forever…’A sound tore from my throat.It was not a sob, it was not a cry either.It sounded like gravel sharpening gravel or should I say something deeper, something broken and something monstrous.‘Seraphine do not make me force myself out.. I want his head!’The air around me began trembling violently as I lifted my head, my vision blurring with tears and something far darker.“I said…”My voice cracked then twisted as well as deepened into something that did not belong to me.. Selene was
Blake’s pov“Nooo… Nooo.. Da.. DARIUSSSSSSS!!”The scream tore through the field in a raw and unrestrained way.Her voice sounded shattered beyond repair.“Darius! Wake up… Open your eyes!!”It echoed against the trees, rising above the chaos, above the war I had orchestrated , above everything.. and for a brief moment, even I felt it.A heart that was breaking.. I looked down at him.. The great Alpha of Clawfrost.Lying in his own blood.And then.. I laughed, low at first then louder.Without looking at me she quietly asked between sobs. “Release my son”“Did you really believe me? You’re more dumber than I expected” I asked, my voice cutting through the grief like a blade.Seraphine didn’t respond.. She didn’t even look at me.Her entire world had collapsed at her feet, her hands still pressed against his lifeless body as if she could force his heart to beat again.Pathetic.. All of it, hope, love, promises.. They were nothing.I tilted my head slightly, studying her as she remain
Darius PovI saw it in her eyes.The hesitation.The breaking.The impossible weight crushing her from the inside out.Seraphine was strong.. Stronger than anyone I had ever known.But this.. This was not a battle of strength.This was cruelty.And I knew… She would never be able to do it.Her hand trembled as she held the dagger, her entire body shaking, her steps unsteady as she moved towards us like she was walking to her own execution.Tears streamed endlessly down her face.“I’m sorry…” she whispered.The sound nearly shattered me.Not because of what she was about to do.. not because I knew she was planning something else that would end up breaking Aurelian and I but because of what it was doing to her.She was going to sacrifice herself instead.. she was planning to end herself instead of choose..I could see it and all I could say was.. Enough.I couldn’t let this continue.I wouldn’t let him destroy her like this.Our eyes met one last time.And in that moment.. Everything w
Seraphines Pov“Hurry up, Luna.” Blake’s voice cut through me like a blade. “Your time is running out.”I couldn’t breathe.The dagger lay at my feet, untouched, but it felt heavier than anything I had ever carried. My hands trembled uncontrollably as I stared at it, my vision blurred with tears that refused to stop falling.This wasn’t real.. This couldn’t be real.But the sound of Aurelian’s soft, broken sobs dragged me back into the nightmare again and again.“Mama…”My knees gave out beneath me and I collapsed.The world tilted, my strength abandoning me completely as I hit the ground. My hands pressed against the cold floor, but they could not steady the storm that raging inside me.‘Seraphine..’ she whispered..“Please…” My voice cracked, barely more than a whisper. “Please… don’t do this…”I didn’t know who I was begging anymore.Blake.. The wolves.. Fate itself or the goddess who had continued punishing me for reasons I knew nothing about.“Please… he’s just a child…” My voi
Faels PovI should have stayed.That was what an Alpha would have done.That was what a man with something left to protect would have chosen.But I wasn’t that man anymore.. Not after everything that had happened to me so the moment Blake’s gaze shifted.. just slightly, just enough.. I saw it.A crack, a direction and a secret.The others were too distracted to notice but I did.. I saw her standing there, that witch.. and without thinking, without permission, without care for what it might cost…I moved. Slipping out of the chaos behind me, leaving war and fate to unfold without me for the first time in my life.Because none of it mattered anymore, not the throne, not the pack, not the war, not even survival.Not anymore.Only one thing remained.. Why?.I needed to know why?The forest swallowed me whole as I followed the faint trace left behind, my senses sharp despite the exhaustion clawing at my bones until finally… I saw her.Liora.Walking ahead, her steps steady, unhurried, a
Blake’s PovYou want to know a secret?Fear always has a scent.. it has a strong, sharp, bitter and unmistakable scent that made a persons body hairs stand at attention and right now I could sniff it out.It had now filled the whole area, clinging to the tree, the grass, the leaves and was now settling into the bones of everyone present. I could taste it in the air as clearly as the blood that stained the floor beneath us.And at the center of it all..She stood… my dearest little sister.I let the silence sink into everyone’s body spirit and soul just long enough for the weight of what I held in my hand to become undeniable.Then I moved. “Hold him.” My voice was quiet, but it carried enough weight.More Dustfang wolves surged forward, obeying without hesitation. Even weakened by the sleeping poison, even wounded, their loyalty did not falter. They reached Darius before he could react fully, forcing him back, gripping his arms, driving him down.He fought them but not like before
Fael’s POV I turned my head again before I could stop myself.I told myself it was instinct. I told myself it was vigilance. I told myself it was my duty to read every face in that council hall.But the truth was simpler and uglier.‘She looks way prettier than earlier don’t you think?’ Mylor spo
Darius POV‘Well this has been oddly entertaining’ Chiron remarked as we stood up.‘Yea you’re right’ I replied calmly as the council chamber doors closed behind us with a sound that echoed deeper than it should have.I did not turn back.Instead, my eyes lifted to the palace corridor ahead that wa
Seraphine POVOne thing I hated about things like this was the smell..The council chamber smelled of old stone, incense, and misused power.I felt it the moment I crossed the threshold, the way the air thickened, the way every breath carried weight. Torches lined the walls, their flames steady an
Seraphine POV“Aurelian!”My voice rang out of me before my feet even dared to move.The world had suddenly narrowed to a single name, a single fear and a single pulse that was screaming in my ears as I ran.The garden flowers blurred quickly as I burst through them, my skirt was gathered in my fi
