Rejected by the lycan king CHAPTER 60
Duskfall’s dawn rose crimson and gold unlike any before. The sky burned with the aftermath of the final Rift, as if the world itself had shed its old skin. From the palace tower, I watched the city below hum with new life: Hollow-Blooded and Crescent wolves rebuilding walls together, children chasing fireflies that glowed with sigils’ light, gardeners tending saplings sprouted overnight from the Rift’s magic.Yet even in this reborn world, my heart fluttered with restless questions.1. The Council of RenewalI descended into the Hollow Garden, where Rafael, Dahlia, Seris, Xander, and representatives of every pack awaited in silence. The Echo Sphere and our five other tokens sword hilt, lantern, bell, ring gleamed on pedestals of living wood.I stepped forward. “We have closed the cycle of endings and beginnings. But our work is not done.”Xander nodded. “The magic of the gates now flows free. Some will seek to use it others to fear it.”Dahlia added, “We must guide its purpose, or it

Morning broke like a promise over Duskfall’s renewed skyline. From my chamber atop the palace tower, I watched the first rays of sun gild the spires and gardens I’d helped reshape. The city below was waking vendors calling, children laughing, wolves and Hollow Blooded sharing bread in the streets. A harmony born of choice.But peace, I’d learned, was never passive.1. The Rift’s AftershockRafael found me on the balcony, still holding the Echo Sphere from last night. “They’ve felt it again,” he said, voice low.“Felt what?” I asked.He nodded southward, where the horizon shimmered with violet haze. “A tremor. Not of earth of magic. The Rift of Endings stirred once more.”I frowned. The Rift was sealed, its power woven into our charter. Yet the Sphere pulsed in my hand, answering his unspoken question: It’s alive.2. Summoning the CircleWe convened immediately in the Garden of Seven Flames, where each living gate’s sigil glowed on separate pedestals of stone. Dahlia, Seris, Xander, Ra

The canyon of endings closed behind us like a door sealing fate. But as the walls of the Rift collapsed, the world did not return to normal. Instead it exhaled waves of magic rippled through the air, stirring dust, mist, and expectation in equal measure.Rafael and I stood at the edge of the canyon’s mouth. Around us, our companions gathered Dahlia clutching her ever-present sketchbook, Seris humming a protective verse, Xander checking his blades. None of us spoke. We simply felt the world rearrange itself.1. The First Step ForwardWe descended from the ridge, each footfall echoing like a promise. The landscape itself had shifted: once-barren fields were now dotted with pale blossoms; stone walls bore new etchings sigils we recognized from every gate we’d known. A living tapestry of memory and choice.“Do you feel it?” Rafael asked, voice low. “Like the world is waking from a dream?”I nodded. “We wrote the ending. Now we get to write what comes next.”2. The Echo of AshenA soft whi

The Gate of Endings did not welcome me.It tested me.The Many FacesI stepped into the void and found myself standing before a vast crowd my crowd.Every version of me I’d ever become, and every version I might yet become, filled the space. Their faces flickered in and out of light, like candle flames in a storm.Some I recognized instantly: the Queen of Hollow, crown ablaze; the woman curled in grief by a shattered gate; the orphaned child scraping warmth from ash.Others startled me: me with silver hair and no Hollow mark; me with wings of pure fire; me chained to a throne of bone.They watched me. Each held a question in their eyes.Which one am I?The Voice of TruthAbove the crowd, a single beam of pale light descended. Within it, I saw my mother alive, whole, and smiling. She held out her hand.But then the beam shifted, and I saw Vareya, unbroken, weeping as she begged me to stay.The beam rippled again, and I saw Rafael, brokenhearted yet proud, waiting for me at the edge of

Valden had stripped us bare.But the Sky Gate had reshaped us.And now the world itself was stirring.Beneath the fractured sky and the stillness of our camp, something ancient began to shift. Not in the soil. Not in magic. But in the threads that held time together.It started with the dreams.Mine were no longer visions of fire or gates or war.They were of endings.Rafael burning a field of white grass.Dahlia walking into a sea of shadows.Myself standing on a cliff made of glass, arms outstretched, no crown, no flame… and no face.The Beginning of the EndWe stayed one day longer near the Sky Gate, letting our bodies recover and our minds settle. But the peace didn’t last.Seris was the first to speak the truth aloud.“There’s another gate,” she whispered over morning firelight. “One we haven’t named. One I don’t think we’re meant to survive.”Rafael looked up. “Where?”“Everywhere,” she said, voice distant. “It isn’t tied to a mountain or sea or sky. It follows us.”Dahlia close

The Gate of Echoes had left something behind in me. A resonance. A pull. As we traveled north through the silent ridges of the Vale, I could still feel her Vareya. Not as a ghost, not as a memory, but as a presence. A reminder.I had mourned her.I had forgiven her.But now I had to face the version of myself that let her go.And that version was not finished with me.The Sky ChangesOn the fifth day of travel, the skies shifted.Clouds that had followed us like silent witnesses broke apart into violet rays, and the horizon shimmered with silver light. Seris, always attuned to the gates, gasped aloud."The Sky Gate is waking."Dahlia paled. "The one at the top of the world. The Gate of Ascension."Rafael looked to me."Another test?"I nodded. "But not just for me. This one... it feels bigger. Like it wants us all."The Long AscentWe began the climb three days later.The path to the Sky Gate was not a trail, but a series of sheer cliffs, icy ridgelines, and bridges of wind-carved bon
