last update Last Updated: 2025-04-28 17:26:04

Tessa POV

The morning light filtered through the curtains, soft and golden, casting gentle shadows across the room. I woke slowly, disoriented for a moment, the lingering heat of the night before still in my veins.

Dorian’s scent surrounded me. I could feel his warmth beside me, his chest rising and falling in slow, steady breaths. I could hear his heartbeat, steady and sure, like a reassuring promise that I belonged here, with him.

My body still ached in places I didn’t know could ache, a beautiful reminder of everything we’d shared. It wasn’t just physical, though. It was a deeper kind of connection, one I hadn’t been prepared for. The bond was no longer something I could ignore or deny. It was real, as real as the air in my lungs, as deep as the roots of the trees that surrounded us.

I shifted, my skin brushing against his, and he stirred, his arm pulling me closer, a possessive growl rumbling from his chest.

“Morning,” his voice was rough with sleep, but the intensity of it sent

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 86 : The Flame She Unleashed

    Dorian POV I heard the battle before I saw it.The clash of bodies, the thunder of paws on forest ground, the sharp screams cutting through the mind link - it was chaos laced with something else. A pressure, humming low in my chest. I wasn’t sure if it was fear or fury until I saw her.Tessa. Or rather - Sable.She stood in the middle of it all, her silver-white form glowing with power, fur bristling like lightning-charged air. Around her, the battlefield had gone still. Rogues lay strewn across the clearing, limbs twisted, eyes wide in frozen terror. Others backed away from her, ears pinned, whimpering like they’d seen a god rise from the dirt.And maybe they had.Because the ground beneath her paws still glowed faintly - blackened earth etched with the echo of raw force. Whatever she'd just done had cracked the air open. I could feel it in my bones.She’s not the same, my wolf said, quiet and reverent. She’s waking up.I stepped closer, slow, silent. Rylan stood at the edge of the

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 85 : Born of Magic

    Tessa POV The scream shattered the still morning air. "They’re here. West sector. It’s bad."The mind link crackled with the panicked voice of one of their scouts - young, but experienced enough that his fear sent me bolting without hesitation.The forest blurred as my paws hit the earth. Wind slashed past my muzzle, cold and biting. I was faster now. Stronger. Lighter. Every step surged with a new energy thrumming through my limbs - wild, powerful, alive.Gone was the girl who questioned her place. I was Luna. Every part of me knew it. And so did the forest. Its heartbeat matched mine.Through the mind link, I felt the alarm ignite across the pack. Warriors mobilizing. Dorian’s presence - dark, steady - anchored the chaos. Galen was already at the perimeter, shifting mid-run, his thoughts like stone under pressure. Rylan’s voice followed, sharp and sure:“Sable, we’re holding the inner ring. Come from the ridge. High ground. Push them inward.”“On it,” I replied, crisp and clear.I

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 84 : Steel and Smoke

    Tessa POVThe war room emptied one by one - boots against stone, clipped voices fading into distance, the faint slam of the door as the last warrior stepped out.Except for Dorian.He stood across the long oak table, hands braced on either side like a king surveying a battlefield. He didn’t look at me. Not yet. His jaw was tight, shadowed in dim firelight, and the sharp cut of his cheekbone caught the flicker like steel. The soft dreamer from last night, the man who whispered his hopes into my ear in a secret room full of maps and possibilities, was gone.This was the Alpha.And something about that switch - sharp, ruthless, absolute - sent a flush down my spine that I couldn’t blame entirely on the tension in the room.I cleared my throat. “Well. That was… efficient.”Dorian looked up then. His eyes darkened as they swept over me, lingering at my mouth before flicking back to my eyes. “They needed direction.”“You didn’t leave much room for discussion.”“They don’t need discussion. T

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 83 : The Edge of Silence

    Tessa POVI folded my arms against the wave of unease crawling up my spine. Every instinct in me wanted answers - why I mattered, what I truly was, and why the Council feared me enough to want me dead. It wasn’t just my bond with Dorian. This went deeper. Older.Sable stirred, pacing inside me. “They’ve known what you are longer than you have,” she said quietly. “And they’re afraid of what you’ll become.”I swallowed hard and moved deeper into the room. Dorian’s gaze flicked to me, briefly, but he didn’t smile. His eyes lingered. Assessed. Then he returned to the discussion.Victor was leaning over the map, one hand braced on the table, the other pinching the bridge of his nose. “The Shadow Hand didn’t just operate independently. They had resources - surveillance, reports, even our supply lines were tracked. This wasn’t some rogue faction. This was sanctioned.”“And if it was,” Rylan growled, arms crossed tight over his chest, “then the rest of the Council either turned a blind eye

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 82 : War Council

    Tessa POVThe war room was colder than last time I was here.Not in temperature - the fire still blazed in the wide stone hearth, and sunlight streamed through narrow windows cut high into the wall - but something in the air had shifted. The mood was different. Tighter. Sharper.So was Dorian.Gone was the man who had cradled me against his chest and whispered dreams into the dark. In his place stood a general - a king in waiting - his shoulders squared, his expression unreadable as he scanned the long table surrounded by his most trusted people.Victor stood at his right side, arms crossed, jaw clenched. Rylan sat near the center, posture more relaxed but eyes alert, tracking everyone who entered. There were others too - warriors, scouts, even a tactician I didn’t recognize, her silver braid looped tightly around her shoulder. Every single one of them radiated readiness. Tension.And at the heart of it, I stood out like a puzzle piece that didn’t quite fit.No one had said it out lou

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 81 : Anomally

    Tessa POVWith a quiet click, Dorian pressed his palm to a hidden indentation in the wall. A subtle mechanism shifted, and the panel released with a muted hiss of air. The door swung inward, revealing a room unlike anything I’d expected.I stepped in slowly, blinking at the sudden shift in light. The room was illuminated not by harsh fluorescents or firelight, but by soft amber glowstones embedded in the ceiling - gentle, almost reverent. The space stretched wider than I’d anticipated, filled with shelves, scrolls, and books that looked ancient. The scent of ink, leather, and earth lingered, grounding and intimate.And in the center of it all - maps. Dozens of them. Some sprawled across tables, others pinned to the walls in layers. Strings of red, gold, and black thread crisscrossed regions I didn’t immediately recognize. Symbols marked territory lines, names I had only heard in passing. Handwritten notes curled in the margins like living thoughts - Dorian’s thoughts.“This is…” I tur

    Dorian frowned. “Explain.”“You want to know who Seraphine really was. What the Vael bloodline truly means. That answer exists - buried in the Council’s internal archives. Not the public ones. The sealed collection.”Tessa’s eyes narrowed. “And they won’t exactly hand us the key.”“They won’t,” Marcus agreed. “Especially now that the Shadow Hand has made a move. If the Council believes you’re a threat - and they clearly do - then those records are under lockdown. Not even the other Alphas could get near them without raising suspicion.”Dorian folded his arms. “But you might.”Marcus gave a sharp, humorless smile. “Because I’ve always been good at walking on the edges of Council trust. I may no longer be their favorite son, but I still have access. Backdoors. Favors owed. I might be able to retrieve what you need. Quietly.”Tessa stepped closer, the fire in her eyes unmistakable. “Then do it. If they won’t give us the truth, we’ll take it.”Marcus studied her for a long moment. “You’re

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 79 : War Room

    Dorian POVTessa lay beside me, her breath slow and steady, golden strands of her hair fanned over my chest. My hand traced lazy circles against her bare back, her skin warm where the morning sun filtered through the curtains. She looked at peace.But I wasn’t. Not anymore.My gaze drifted past her, toward the folded letter still sitting on my desk across the room. Her mother’s warning, that name - Seraphine Vael - still rang in my ears like an echo that refused to fade. And then there was the other message. The one I hadn’t told her about. Not yet.She stirred, soft and sleepy, her lashes fluttering. “You’re too still,” she murmured.“I’m thinking,” I said, voice low.She looked up at me, her wolf’s golden flecks shimmering faintly in her eyes. “Is it the letter?”“Yes. But it’s more than that.” I sat up slowly, reaching for the shirt I’d discarded. “Something’s happened. Something I didn’t want to ruin more our night with.”She blinked, suddenly more awake. “What is it?”I pulled th

  • Save Me, Claim Me   Chapter 78 : Shadows at the Gate

    Tessa’s POVThe morning light slid across the sheets like molten gold, warm against my bare skin. For once, I didn’t stir immediately. I stayed still, cocooned in heat and muscle and the steady rhythm of Dorian’s breathing beside me.His arm lay heavy over my waist, his hand still resting possessively low on my stomach, like even in sleep he was claiming me, protecting me. Or maybe grounding himself in me as much as I was in him.I let my eyes drift shut again, breathing him in. The scent of cedar and fire. The one scent in the world that had ever made me feel... safe.So much had shifted in just a few days - my bond, my body, my past, my future. I should have been overwhelmed. And I was. But under it all, something deeper stirred. A sense of purpose. Of knowing. I wasn’t just someone’s hidden secret anymore. I was a weapon, a legacy, a Luna who would never kneel.“You’re thinking too loud,” Dorian muttered against the back of my neck.I smiled softly. “You love it.”“I do,” he admitt
