last update Last Updated: 2025-06-22 02:20:02

Tessa POV

The tent was silent, except for the rustle of fabric as I peeled the cloak from my shoulders and let it fall to the ground.

My hands were shaking. Not from exhaustion. - Not entirely. - From the weight. Of everything.

I stood still for a moment, staring at nothing, trying to remember how to breathe. The bond - bonds - still shimmered inside me like silver threads stretching out in every direction. Some quiet, others pulsing gently. Alive.

Hundreds of them.

I didn’t choose it. I didn’t even know how I’d done it. But they’d bowed. They’d given themselves to me - not just as warriors, but pack. And something ancient in me had answered. What was that ? Goddess help me.. What am I ?

I pressed my fingers to my sternum, to the spot where it burned brightest. The place where all the tethers met.

“You okay?”

His voice cut through the air like warm thunder. I turned.

Dorian stood just inside the flap, still in battle-worn leathers. His dark hair was tousled by the wind, a gash bare

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 155 : Echoes in the Veil

    Tessa POVThe wind stirred again. The moss beneath our boots exhaled its strange, slow pulse. And the stillness shattered.Rylan gasped first, like someone surfacing from water. Galen stumbled half a step, hand flying to his sword - eyes scanning, confused, blinking hard.“What the hell-” Rylan’s voice cracked.“He was here,” I said. “Velarion.”Their heads snapped toward me.“You saw him?” Galen demanded.“He froze everything. Time. The forest. You. All of you. I was the only one he wanted.”Rylan’s mouth opened, but he didn’t speak. Galen’s face darkened like thunderclouds rolling in.“What did he do?” Rylan asked, low and dangerous.“Nothing,” I said quietly. “He didn’t touch me. He didn’t attack.”Galen looked incredulous. “He let you go?”“He came to talk.”“To talk,” Rylan echoed, disbelieving.I nodded. My hands still trembled.“He called me his daughter.”Both men went rigid.“And he said…” I paused, trying to find language for the impossible. “He said he has no choice. That h

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 154 : Bloodbound

    Tessa POVThe forest changed on the way back. Not all at once. Not loud.Quiet.Like a breath held too long.The glow in the leaves dimmed. The trees lost their unnatural shimmer, the silver veining dulling as though the Seer’s power had bled out of the land itself. Shadows stretched farther than they should have. The moss no longer pulsed with breath beneath our boots. It lay still.Dead.We rode in silence. Rylan beside me, Galen and the others trailing behind, alert. But I could barely feel them.My thoughts were too loud.Love or life.He was never meant to exist. Neither were you.I could still see my mother’s face, terrified in the circle of robed figures. I could still hear the Seer’s voice naming me a correction, not a daughter. Not a queen.Not even real.The ache behind my ribs throbbed with something deeper than sorrow. Something furious.“Tessa,” Rylan murmured, riding closer. “You’re tense.”I blinked. I hadn’t realized my hands were clenched on the reins. My wolf was too

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 153 : The Path Back

    Tessa POVThe path back was different. Quieter.Even the air felt heavier now, thick with what I carried. The statues seemed older. The leaves less luminous. As if the forest itself had heard what I’d learned… and mourned for me.No birdsong. No wind. Only the slow, steady beat of my boots on dark earth and the echo of the Seer’s words threading through my mind like wire.At the forest’s edge, the others waited. Rylan was already striding toward me, his stance alert but his expression unreadable. He didn’t speak. Just scanned my face, nodded once, and fell in beside me. Galen approached slower. Eyes sharp. Careful. As if gauging whether I was still entirely… me.I didn’t answer the questions I saw there. Not yet.We walked in silence, the others following behind. The trees thinned with every step, but the hush didn’t lift. And just before the veil of bone-colored trunks fully released us back into the world, I stopped and turned.The Seer’s hut was gone. Not just dark. Gone.The clear

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 152 : Visions In The Smoke

    Tessa POVI stared into the fire.The flames didn't crackle. They whispered. Not in words - but in sounds I almost recognized. A lullaby. A warning.“Love or life,” I echoed.The Seer didn’t speak. Just watched. As if she already knew which one I’d choose. I curled my hands into fists, nails biting into skin.“How many times has this happened?” I asked.Her head tilted, braids shifting like river reeds in windless water. “This? Only once. You are the only one who lived long enough to reach this part of the thread.”I swallowed the rising heat in my throat. “So I’m a mistake.”“No,” she said. “You are a correction.”“Then what was Velarion?”Her eyes turned sharper, gold flecks flickering. “A wound.”A pause. “He was born of broken oaths. A child conceived in sacrifice, raised in silence. The Council took pieces of ancient bloodlines, bent them through time and death, and forced him into being. Not as a weapon. As a gatekeeper.”“For what?”“The Otherworld. The Hollow Between. The real

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 151 : The Whisper Before the Storm

    Dorian POV The camp wasn’t quiet. It never was, not anymore. But this silence had a different edge - taut, like the string of a drawn bow.I stood near the central fire pit, scanning the perimeter. Warriors moved like shadows through mist, their armor etched with ash and fresh blood. Scouts had returned from the southern watch - no signs of movement except of few feral rouges. Still, I didn’t trust the stillness. Not here. Not now.Because Tessa was gone. And I felt the hollow space in the bond like an exposed nerve.“She’s alive,” Kael said in my mind, low and calm. “And focused. That’s why it feels distant. Not broken.”“I know.” But knowing didn’t quiet the clawing urge to go after her.Rylan sat sharpening his blade beside Galen and two of the new Highland warriors. Their fire crackled, a buffer against the creeping cold that had begun to gather despite the season.They’d felt it too. The shift in the air. Like the world holding its breath.“Any sign of Council movement?” I asked

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 150 : The Seer's Sanctuary

    Tessa POVThe path swallowed sound.No birdsong. No breath of wind. Only the low pulse of my own heartbeat and the rhythmic crunch of our boots on blackened roots.The further we walked, the more the forest forgot how to be a forest.Leaves above us shimmered with silver veining, glowing faintly as though lit from within. The trees themselves had no bark - just twisted trunks that seemed carved from bone and obsidian. Lanterns hung between them without ropes, suspended midair by some quiet, unnatural force. Their green flames burned without heat.It felt like walking into the heart of a memory that didn’t belong to me."Sable?" She didn’t answer. Not in words. But I felt her. Alert. Coiled. Guarded.Rylan had drawn closer, as if keeping his body between mine and whatever might slither from the dark. Galen’s expression never changed, but his blade remained loose in his grip.We passed statues - if you could call them that. Shapes hunched and bent, twisted into prayer or pain. Some loo
