Ember Frost’s POV

I was frozen in place, my mind blank. Eira’s words strangely made sense, yet my heart refused to accept them.

“If all of this is just a trick, if someone wants us to freeze to death… then why create all these dangers inside the illusion?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

Eira closed her eyes, the same way she always did when she prophesied.

“To slow us down,” she said. When she opened them, she still couldn’t see anyone’s fate. “Remember what I told you? I can’t see a

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Interference

    Ember Frost’s POVThe werewolf elders continued working in silence, their hands moving quickly as they tried to stabilize Captain Henry’s condition. No one dared speak.The room had gone so quiet that even the sound of shifting legs felt loud against the silence.Then Axel suddenly snapped.He stepped between the elders and the bed, cutting off their movements with a sharp hand gesture.“Stop crowding him,” Axel said impatiently. “Can’t you see his condition is getting worse?”“We need space to continue the treatment,” Elder Anna replied.“And if your treatment kills him?”That finally made the room tense up again.One of the elders hesitated, but Axel didn’t look at them again.Before anyone could react, he kicked a chair back, dragged it across the floor with a harsh scrape, and dropped down beside the bed like he planned to stay there all night.“Anyone who wants to touch him can step over my body first.”His eyes were red from exhaustion, but the glare he threw at us was full of

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Hold the Line

    Ember Frost’s POV“Starting from this day, you’re not allowed to go near him anymore!”“What if she makes it worse?” Someone asked.“That’s right, she's no good!”A few of them quickly moved to block my path, like stopping me from getting near Henry could undo what had already happened. I stared at them in disbelief.They looked terrified. Angry. Desperate.And desperate people always needed someone to blame.Axel’s face was pale with exhaustion, but his eyes burned red with fury. He grabbed the front of my clothes before anyone could stop him.“You expect us to be grateful for this?” Axel barked. His breathing was uneven, anger and panic mixing together. “Just look at him!” I glanced toward Henry lying motionless on the bed.The blankets beneath him were stained dark in some places, and faint frost still clung to parts of his skin. Even unconscious, his face looked tense, trapped somewhere between pain and exhaustion.Axel noticed me looking.His fingers dug deeper into my sleeve.

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   Missing Pathways

    Ember Frost’s POVThe whole space looked worse by the second.Large void distortions had opened across the system space, spreading in unstable clusters. Some were small. Others expanded far enough to make my chest tighten just looking at them. They didn’t stay stable. The edges kept flickering, like the system was struggling to keep them contained.A cold feeling crawled up my spine.“What do we do about those?” I asked quietly, unable to take my eyes off them. “Can they even be fixed?”Eira’s expression turned serious. For once, she didn’t answer immediately.“Normally, Henry can self-repair through the system,” she finally said. “Slow process, but it stabilizes over time.” She looked at the spreading void distortions ahead and exhaled slowly. “But it seems his condition is far too unstable. This system barely has enough integrity left to maintain itself, let alone run proper recovery cycles.”“So there’s nothing we can do?” I asked.“I didn’t say that.” She rubbed her forehead. “Eld

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   The Breaking Point

    Ember Frost’s POV“Watch its pattern,” I said. “Mark every shift.”I closed my eyes briefly and expanded Lunaris again.This time, I didn’t push it aggressively.I let it spread quietly, controlled and precise.It moved through the lower structure—through fractured links and unstable spatial threads. Instead of targeting the fragment directly, I focused on the paths it used to shift itself.One by one, those routes began to lock down.Broken connections sealed.Unstable channels narrowed.Open pathways between distortion layers closed gradually, limiting its movement completely.Suddenly, a violent pressure slammed into the sealed zone, like something striking from the inside with full force. The containment held—but it groaned under impact.My pulse jumped.It was fighting inside the seal.Eira’s expression tightened.“This isn’t good,” she said. “It will affect Henry.”Another surge hit.The entire structure shook.The seal rippled under strain. Even the system beneath reacted to th

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown   The Compression Point

    Ember Frost’s POVThose two words stopped me cold. Had she found it—the thing controlling all of this? I really hoped she had.For a moment, she said nothing.Her eyes still burned red. If she had found the source, why hadn’t she pulled out yet?A knot tightened in my chest.I started pacing. The room was cold, but sweat had already gathered on my forehead. Every second stretched longer than the last.If she didn’t say something soon, I was pulling her out myself.Then Eira hissed, “Oh… so you can transform. You keep surprising me.”Her fingers pressed harder against Henry’s chest.The air around her shifted.“Calm down, Ember,” Elder Anna said quietly. “Your worry is making it harder for her.”A cold pull swept through the space, faint at first, then growing stronger.Elder Anna and Ellan moved closer to check on Eira and Henry.“What’s going on?” I asked, my voice tight.“We don’t know,” Ellan replied, still watching carefully.“I can’t just sit here doing nothing—I need to see what

  • Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Crown    Looking Too Close

    Ember Frost’s POVI knew almost at once that I wouldn’t be able to finish this by myself.What I found inside Henry was far more tangled than I had expected. Every time I thought I had cleared one part of it, something else slipped out of reach. The longer I stayed, the harder it became to keep hold of what I was doing.A sharp ache ran through my head. My breathing turned uneven.Then, suddenly, something tightened around my throat. It felt like an invisible hand closing around my neck. My body convulsed. I heard voices calling my name, but they sounded distant, blurred, as though they were reaching me from very far away. I tried to answer, but no sound came.Then the pressure broke. A violent pull tore me free.I opened my eyes and jerked back.The room felt strangely cold when I came back. For a moment I could only stand there, gasping, trying to steady myself. I was still caught in the memory of what I had seen—and what had happened—the layers, the resistance, the way everything

    Ember Frost’s POVOnce the guards finally managed to soothe the raging Northern Duke, my father shifted his attention to the witch.

I didn’t want to interrupt, so I stood quietly by the door and waited.It took almost twelve minutes before he finally hung up. He set the receiver down, looked at me with concern, and asked softly, “What’s wrong,
