Tessa POV

The sun was low, stretching long shadows across the camp as we gathered once again beneath the open sky. The smoke from the earlier battle had thinned, but the scent of blood still lingered in the air, sharp and metallic, curling through my lungs with every breath.

The warriors moved around us, tending to the wounded, repairing damaged weapons, building fresh defenses, but their eyes often flickered toward where we stood - a circle of leaders on the edge of war.

Dorian stood at my side, his arm a steady, grounding weight across my back. On my other side was Rylan, his expression hard as stone, his eyes darting constantly, always watching. Beside him stood Kira, her sharp features set in quiet determination, fingers drumming against the hilt of her blade. Galen remained slightly behind us, silent and alert as ever.

And tonight, more had come.

Alpha Varion had arrived with his warriors only hours after the last blood had been spilled, his face grim but his voice steady when we

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 139 : Before The Dawn

    Dorian POV The embers still glowed, soft and dull, like the memory of fire.Tessa lay beside me, wrapped in furs and moonlight, one leg tangled with mine, her breath steady against my throat. The tent was filled with the quiet aftermath of heat and magic - the scent of her skin, of us, of bond sealed in something deeper than instinct.My wolf stirred with satisfaction. Ours.I traced my fingers along her shoulder, down the curve of her back. Strength lived there now - not just physical, but something ancient waking under her skin. She would be feared. She would be followed. They would speak her name like a prophecy.She will rule beside me.She shifted slightly in her sleep, her brows twitching as if sensing my thoughts. I pressed my lips to her temple. Then I slid from the bed and dressed quickly, wrapping myself in dark armor and shadow.The air outside was cold and sharp, like the inhale before a battle cry. The Ashmoon camp was silent, wolves and warriors resting before war, but

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 138 : The Queen Beside Me

    Dorian POVThe night was thick with tension. Even the air felt heavier, as though the world itself was holding its breath.Our tent stood near the edge of camp, away from the endless murmur of warriors and strategy, giving us rare privacy before the storm we were about to unleash. The plan was in motion. Rumors would begin to spread by dawn. The trap was already baited. And yet, as I stood in the dim glow of lantern light, all I could focus on was her.Tessa.She sat near the low table, the golden firelight brushing against her skin, turning her hair into molten silk. The thin linen shirt she wore clung softly to her curves, loose enough to hint at bare skin beneath, but modest in a way that only made my hunger sharper. She was studying a map, tracing her fingers slowly across the lines of the territories, her brow furrowed in focus, her lips slightly parted.Her power radiated even when she was still. A quiet storm. And it called to something primal inside me."She is no longer simpl

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 136 : The Storm Unleashed

    Tessa POVThe sun blazed in a cloudless sky, harsh and unrelenting, casting sharp shadows across the encampment as the final preparations were made. The usual hum of morning birds was absent, as though even nature understood the blood that would soon stain the soil.Dorian called out, his voice rising like thunder across the sunlit field. “When the signal sounds, we move. No mercy. No retreat.”The camp broke into motion like a living thing. Armor was fastened. Blades were checked and sharpened one final time. Warriors whispered brief prayers. Some knelt in the dirt for a moment’s silence; others paced, shaking out their limbs, teeth gritted in silent rage.I felt him before I saw him. Dorian’s presence always wrapped around me like a second skin.His hand slid to my waist as I turned. For a moment, we stood beneath the weight of the day - the calm before the storm.“Are you ready, my Luna?” His voice was low, intimate, only for me.The sun gilded his dark hair, caught the glint in hi

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 135 : We Strike First

    Tessa POVThe first pale streaks of dawn painted the sky in muted grays as I stepped out into the morning chill. The camp was already alive, warriors moving in coordinated lines, preparing for the next phase of what felt like an endless war. The air smelled of damp earth, iron, and smoke - the scent of both life and battle.The fire in my chest from the night’s shared moment with Dorian hadn’t faded completely. If anything, it had anchored me, strengthened my resolve. But now, the weight of leadership settled once again on my shoulders.I pulled my cloak tighter as the wind bit against my skin. My eyes scanned the camp: Kira was overseeing her archers, her voice sharp and sure as she ran through commands. Rylan was working with Galen and the Ashmoon warriors, inspecting the front lines, adjusting formations. The remaining Alphas and Betas - those who had chosen to stand against the Council - were gathered near the central ridge, waiting for our final briefing.And beyond all of it, I

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 134 : The Eye Of The Storm

    Dorian POVThe tent was quiet, the heavy canvas walls muffling the distant sounds of the camp as it settled into uneasy sleep. The glow of the lantern cast long, flickering shadows, painting the edges of our private space in gold and amber.Tessa stood by the small table, tracing her fingers absentmindedly along the edge of a rolled map. Her eyes weren’t seeing it, though. She was somewhere far beyond the parchment - deep in the thoughts that weighed on us both.I closed the flap behind me and stepped closer, not needing to announce my presence. She always felt me before I arrived - the bond humming like a second heartbeat between us.“We’ve started something tonight,” she whispered again, as if continuing the words she'd spoken at the cliff edge only moments before. Her voice was softer now, rawer, stripped of the battle mask she wore for the others. “There’s no turning back.”I came up behind her, wrapping my arms around her waist, resting my chin against her shoulder. The scent of
