Tessa POV

The frost crunched under my boots as I stepped into the clearing, golden morning light cascading over the gathered forces like a silent promise. Rows of warriors stood at the ready - Nightshade, Ashmoon, and other allies arrayed side by side, their breath misting in the dawn air. Shifting bodies, sharpened blades. Tension like a taut wire humming through every soul present.

Dorian’s men were already in formation on the far ridge, his black banners moving like shadows across the wind. He had arrived before first light, just as he said he would. I hadn’t seen him yet - but I could feel him. Somewhere in that sea of soldiers, his presence burned steady. Like a star refusing to fade.

I raised my eyes to the horizon. No horns. No signal. But the scent came first.

Ash. Burned cloth. Old blood.

And then, a sound like thunder splitting stone. Not from the sky. From the ground.

The Council’s vanguard poured over the far rise - tight formation, brutal efficiency. Soldiers in gray and

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 123 : The Fire Between

    The safehouse wasn’t much - an old stone barrack tucked into the slope beneath the ridge, half-covered in moss and thorny brush. Inside, the air was thick with damp earth, dried blood, and the scent of magic scorched raw. It was a place built for war, not peace. But for now, it held the closest thing to unity they had.Warriors moved like shadows through the narrow halls - some slumped against the walls with torn uniforms and hastily wrapped bandages, others sharpening blades with quiet focus. Murmured reports and soft growls filled the air. The weight of what they had all survived pressed down like storm-heavy clouds.Inside the central war room, a fire crackled in the hearth - more for light than warmth. This place had no electricity. Maps and scribbled notes blanketed the long stone table, corners pinned with blades and shards of rubble. Dorian stood at its head, his voice a low hum of precision, directing attention to the terrain lines with the flat of his palm.“They’ll expect u

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 122 : The Tether

    Tessa POV The storm inside me roared.The moment the others broke through the trees, the air itself seemed to respond. My magic flared brighter - like it recognized our kin, our bond, our rage.Rylan was at the front with Kira, blades dripping black blood, eyes fierce with fire. Galen to their right, already locked in a vicious dance with one of the larger beasts, his laughter echoing like thunder. The pack had come.They didn’t hesitate. Neither did I.I surged forward. One of the twisted hybrids met me head-on - massive, jaws distending in an inhuman scream. It raised a claw-like blade fused into its arm. I ducked low, slid under it, and came up behind with a slice of fire crackling along my palm. I carved clean through the joint of its spine. It collapsed in a heap of sparks and smoke.Another lunged. I turned, caught it mid-air with a whip of wind, and slammed it down.The battlefield became a blur of motion. Packs of warriors danced around me, and the enemy ranks thinned. But th

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 120 : Before the First Light

    Tessa POVThe wind had shifted.I felt it against my skin as I sat on the cold stone, the map now rolled tightly in my hands, my senses stretching into the dark. The last trace of Dorian’s scent lingered like a phantom - smoke, pine, something electric - and I hated how quickly it was fading.A breeze whispered through the trees, carrying the bite of frost and something more metallic underneath.Blood would spill soon. I could feel it in the roots. The forest knew. The ground knew.My wolf stirred again, no longer pacing but poised, as if she too understood that this silence was sacred—the breath before a scream.Footsteps crunched softly through the underbrush behind me.“Can’t sleep either?” Rylan’s voice was low, just above a whisper.I didn’t turn around. “Didn’t try.”He stepped around the edge of the ruin and sat beside me with a quiet grunt, folding his arms over his knees. For a long while, we didn’t speak. We just watched the stars as they burned against the black velvet sky

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 119 : The Meeting Before the Battle

    Tessa POVThe late afternoon sun spilled a warm, amber light across the rugged borderlands where Ashmoon and Nightshade lands met, the trees standing tall like silent guardians of an ancient secret. The scent of pine mingled with faint smoke drifting from last night’s fires, reminders of the skirmishes that had already marked this land with blood and fire.I waited in a secluded clearing surrounded by shattered stones - the ruins of an old watchtower long abandoned but perfect for a private meeting. The jagged rocks underfoot were rough and cool, grounding me as the tight coil of tension inside me twisted ever tighter.Every breath I drew was deliberate, slow, as I tried to steady the storm swirling beneath my skin.The war was coming.I could feel it - like an electric pulse under my feet, a growl in my bones.When the snap of a twig echoed through the stillness, my head lifted, heart stuttering as I spotted him stepping through the shadows of towering pines.Dorian.He moved wit

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 118 : Ambushes

    Tessa POVThe first pale light of dawn slipped through the thick canopy as Rylan and I left the Nightshade camp behind. The ground beneath our feet was soft with pine needles and the chill of early morning, a quiet contrast to the storm of thoughts raging in my mind.We moved steadily along the narrow trail that carved its way back toward Ashmoon territory, the border no longer a distant idea but a tangible line we would soon cross for war.Rylan walked beside me with practiced ease, his presence a steady anchor. He didn’t speak at first - there was no need. The weight of the coming battle hung between us, a silent pact we both understood.Finally, he broke the quiet. “You carry more than the plans, don’t you?”I glanced at him, meeting his steady gaze. “It’s not just strategy. It’s what’s at stake. The lives depending on us. The future.”He nodded slowly. “That kind of burden can twist the strongest mind.”“I don’t intend to break,” I said, voice firmer than I felt. “I’m not just fig
