Tessa POV

The sky had turned the soft gray of early dusk, the kind that whispered of exhaustion and rain. But the battlefield was still and quiet, for the first time in hours.

The scent of blood lingered. Burned ash clung to the wind from the pyres of enemies. But there was no more screaming. No more fighting.

We had won. And yet… I didn’t feel victorious.

I stood at the edge of the field, boots pressed into torn earth, watching the medics move between the injured. Some lay on stretchers, others sat with their backs to trees, arms slung around friends or healers, dirt and blood streaking their skin.

They were alive. That was what mattered.

I turned slowly, my gaze sweeping over the clearing where so many had fought and bled for our future.

Victor barked orders with quiet efficiency, his voice lower than usual, more careful. Rylan helped the younger warriors unload supplies from the trucks, checking armor, making sure no one missed treatment. Galen moved like a ghost, eyes sharp and li

    Dorian POVThe message came at dusk - sealed with the Council’s ancient black crest, distributed across every major pack network.I watched it play on the comms screen in the strategy room, every word like poison spilling into the blood of the world.“Luna Tessa of the Nightshade Pack has become a threat to the balance of our kind. Her powers are unstable, her actions violent and unsanctioned. She has awakened forces we do not understand. For the safety of all packs, she must be eliminated.”“Alpha Dorian, for treason against the Council and harboring an unstable power, is also sentenced to death.”“All Alphas are hereby summoned to Council grounds within three days, bringing their elite warriors. Obedience will prove loyalty. Refusal will be considered rebellion.”The video cut out.Silence followed. A heavy, cold silence that pressed against my ribs like a blade.Victor stood at my side, face grim. “They just declared war.”Rylan cursed under his breath. “And they’re trying to make

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 100 : The Thing in the Shadows

    Tessa POVThe battlefield stank of blood, burned earth, and magic.I stood at the center of it, breath ragged, my body trembling with energy barely held in check. My fingers crackled with flame and wind, still glowing from the last strike that had shattered the enemy’s front line and sent nearly a third of them crumpling to the ground.We had them on their knees. But I couldn’t breathe yet. Not until it was over.Beside me, Dorian fought like the gods had made him from blade and fury. His claws were out, his eyes dark with the thrill and terror of war. Victor moved with brutal precision a few feet ahead, blood on his armor but none of it his. Rylan flanked the other side, holding the left line like it was made of steel.We were winning. But something still pressed on my chest. A wrongness. A pressure on the air that no victory could explain.I could feel it coming.My wolf was restless beneath my skin, growling low, pushing against the barrier between us.“They’re holding something ba

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 99 : First Blood

    Tessa POV The ground trembled beneath hundreds of boots.The enemy spilled from the trees like a black wave - armor gleaming in the dawn light, war drums pounding in a rhythm meant to shatter hearts. Shadow Hand banners fluttered above their front lines, each one a promise of death, of silence, of subjugation.But we were not prey. Not anymore.I stepped forward, wind tugging at my hair, power roiling under my skin like a storm waiting for release.“Hold,” I said, loud and clear. My warriors froze. Muscles tensed. Claws half-shifted. Every eye was on me. I reached out through the mind link, anchoring them. “No one moves until I strike.”Even Dorian didn’t question it. My pulse slowed. The world narrowed.The enemy was close now - close enough to smell the iron in their blood, the arrogance on their breath.Sable was fire in my bones. “Now. Show them what we are.”I lifted my hand. The air thickened. Lightning crackled beneath my skin, threading through my veins, twisting through m

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 98 : The Rising Storm

    Tessa POVThe world held its breath.Mist still clung to the low hills as we crested the final ridge before the border. The earth felt heavy beneath our wheels, the air too still, too sharp. Like the land itself knew what was coming.Our convoy slowed, tires crunching over gravel and roots. Beyond the treeline, the enemy waited.I stepped down from the vehicle, boots hitting dirt. My breath plumed in the cold morning air. Dorian was already moving ahead, Victor at his side, scouts fanning outward.The front line was forming - armored wolves in disciplined rows, some shifted, others still in human form, weapons gleaming at their backs. Galen barked orders, his voice a razor cutting through the fog.But it was the silence beyond the border that struck me most. Not the chaos of a charge. Not war drums. Just stillness.And then I saw them.Across the valley, through the breaks in the trees - black uniforms, too uniform to be rogues. Face coverings. Symbols carved in silver across their ch

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 97 : It's Time Part 2

    Across the room, I felt her - the storm I slept beside, the fire I kissed hours ago.Tessa stood quiet, her arms crossed, expression unreadable. But I could feel it. The tension in her spine. The determination building behind her stillness.She was already deciding. Already choosing.And I knew what was coming before she even opened her mouth.“I’m not staying behind.”Tessa’s voice was calm. Too calm. That tone always came right before she did something reckless and unstoppable.I turned from the weapons rack, strapping a fresh mag to my hip. “You’re not expendable, Tessa.”She raised an eyebrow. “Neither are the rest of them.”“That’s not the same.”Her lips pressed into a thin line as she folded her arms, hoodie replaced now with black armor molded to her form like a second skin. She looked like a queen forged from lightning and will. Unshakable. But I could still see the pulse in her throat, the faint tremor in her finger - excitement or dread, I didn’t know. Maybe both.“You’re
