LOGINWe are in the first quarter of the book.
More to come. 100k words hit. It's a banger, thank you all. More action and dramas to come. šš Let's see what happens next. Love and sacrifice ahead.Scarletās POVThe vision faded, and the world snapped back into cold, harsh reality. My chest felt tight, my breathing shallow, my heart hammering as if Iād just surfaced from drowning. The chains digging into my wrists confirmed it. I was still in the same cell, the same darkness, the same hell.Yet something wasnāt the same.Even with wolfsbane burning in the air, my senses sharpened unnaturally. A pull stirred deep inside me. A bond, faint but unmistakableāreaching across miles, brushing against my spirit. Then came a distant howl, raw and familiar enough to make my eyes sting.āDamien,ā I whispered, struggling against the invisible weight holding me down.Williams⦠I can feel him, Scar murmured as she finally stirred from the deep slumber sheād fallen into. Her awakening flooded me with strength, heat, and clarity. For the first time in days, I felt alive. Powerful. Almost powerful enough to snap the chains.But not enough to outrun a prison full of guards once Scar burned out.
Damienās POVThese past few days, Iāve noticed something strangeāever since the sex I had with Kira, Iāve been⦠fine.Too fine.The rage, the urge to kill, the darkness that always clawed beneath my skināit all just disappeared. At first, I thought it was nothing. Maybe relief. Maybe exhaustion. But my heart wouldnāt rest. Something felt off.Then things got worse.In battles, I tired too quickly. My strength faltered. My instincts dulled.And Kira? She left.Said she couldnāt remain with a man who didnāt love her.I donāt even know how she slipped away. One morning I just woke up, and everything felt like a dreamāfoggy, distant, unreal.It wasnāt until I went hunting that I met⦠her.The mysterious woman in the woods.āLet me get that for you,ā I offered after watching the old woman struggle to lift water from the stream. Her cloak was tattered, her stick looked older than time itself. Her hands trembled from the cold, but somehow she seemed stronger than the weather biting at her
I hope I'm making sense to you.I don't know about you, but sometimes...just like Scarlet had run off. We all feel the weight so heavy on our shoulders, that we sometimes wish we could run off like she did.Yes, life is a lot. And right now, I don't think I blame her for wanting to leave everything and run. Do you think she's going to scale through this?This is not your regular werewolf book though. A lot is coming.
Scarletās POVāYou must think I would stoop so low as to fuck someone like you.ā I smirked, refusing to let my fear take control.Yes, I was scaredāterrified, evenābut showing it now would only make things worse. I didnāt need a seer to tell me they were scared, too. All of them. They didnāt know what I could do⦠except Kayla.NoāMorgathis.Kayla was gone. The woman standing in front of me wasnāt the friend I once knew. She was Morgathis, the ancient one they claimed I reincarnated for. The one who had been waiting through generations.Which meant I wasnāt the first Aurivelle to stand exactly where I was. Others came before me⦠and all of them failed.And now it was my turn.I met the gaze of the old Alphaāthe one Morgathis had allowed to sit in the seat meant for me⦠or perhaps for Alex.A low, ugly laugh tore from his throat, echoing through the hall. Silence fell for a moment, and thenāone by oneāthey all joined in, their laughter mischievously annoying. I stood there, naked, hum
Scarletās POVāā¦Fuck, my neck hurts,ā I muttered under my breath, twisting and pulling, trying to free myself. But nothing budged.A sharp, foul stench hit me so hard I gagged. My eyes snapped open, blurry and burning as memories slammed into me all at once.āThis place smells disgustingā¦ā I groaned, chains clinking when I tried to shift.Before I could get my vision straight, cold water crashed against my face. I gasped, blinking furiouslyāand froze.I was surrounded. And I was in trouble.āWhat⦠what happened?ā I whispered, trying to piece everything together. The last thing I remembered was being caught in the woods⦠that wolf⦠a blow to the back of my neck⦠everything going dark.āWell, hey, pretty,ā the man who threw the water stepped closer. His voice was rough, and the smirk on his face made my skin crawl.He reached for my cheek, but I was fast to refrain myself. āDonāt you dare touch me, you filthy thing,ā I spat, trying to summon my wolfābut nothing answered. No pull. No gro
Scarletās POVāAre you going somewhere?ā Jaceās voice rolled through the hall, cold and steady, forcing my legs to stop.Within seconds, doors opened. Footsteps echoed. Voices murmured.It was as if the entire palace had been in one massive meeting, and I had walked right into the aftermath.And nowāEvery single eye was on me. On my backpack as well as my trembling fingers gripping the strap.But my heart was set. I wasnāt backing down.āIs she really going to leave?ā a maid whispered, loud enough for me to hear.Jace stepped forward. āIf you want to go outside, I can assign guards to followāāāNo, Jace.ā My voice cracked, but I held my ground. āIām leaving for good.āāFor good?āāBecause of me?āāBecause of Joel?āThey said it at the same timeāJace and Joelāand the humiliation burned through me.I swallowed, my heartbeat wild.This wasnāt about them. Not entirely.āIf this is about Joel, we can sort it out,ā Jace continued quickly. āThe Sisters of Light are ready to have youāāāI sa
