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 lo
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
Save Me, Claim Me Chapter 77 : The Fire We Share
Tessa’s POVThe door clicked shut behind Marcus, leaving only silence and the distant whisper of wind against the stone walls. I didn’t move at first. Neither did Dorian.My chest rose and fell in a rhythm I couldn’t quite control, like my body was still catching up to what had just been said - what had been confirmed. I wasn’t just different. I was legacy. Power. A thread in a tapestry that spanned generations.And Dorian… he wasn’t just my mate. He was part of the same story. The other half of a design that had been written before either of us were born.My gaze drifted to him, and when our eyes met, the current between us ignited again—unspoken, electric, heavy with things we hadn’t said yet.“You okay?” he asked quietly.“No,” I admitted, voice hoarse. “But I will be. I just... ”He nodded once, as if that was enough. As if that small promise held the weight of an oath.“I’m not sure what scares me more,” I whispered, “that someone gave up everything to hide me, or that I might be
Save Me, Claim Me Chapter 76 : Echoes of the Past
Tessa POVThe scent of pine and morning chill still clung to my skin as I walked beside Dorian through the hallway, the distant hum of voices and training sessions fading behind us. My muscles thrummed with power - alive, tingling, as if every nerve had been awakened and flooded with something wild and ancient. This morning’s training had proven what I already suspected.I was stronger. Faster. Sharper.And not just physically. Sable had moved with fluid grace and precision I hadn’t felt before - our connection was clearer, her instincts more confident. We didn’t stumble over each other like we used to. We were finally in sync.The other wolves had noticed too. Some had watched me with open curiosity. Others, with quiet reverence.But there wasn’t time to bask in any of that. The letter burned in the back of my mind, the name Seraphine Vael like a song I couldn’t stop humming.We stepped into the study where Alpha Marcus already waited, standing near a tall window with a thick leather
Save Me, Claim Me Chapter 75 : Embers Awakened
Tessa POVThe morning air was crisp, sharp enough to sting my lungs in the first breath as I stepped outside. Dew clung to the grass, and a thin mist curled across the training grounds like smoke trailing from an unseen fire. My bare feet pressed into the cool earth, grounding me. The moment I exhaled, Sable stirred beneath my skin, more alert than ever.“I feel it,” she whispered.So did I.Power no longer flickered at the edge of awareness like a candle too shy to burn. It coursed through me now, liquid heat and lightning under my skin, vibrant and real. I could feel every heartbeat, every subtle shift in the wind, every breath Dorian took as he approached from across the field.He looked like he'd already been training. His shirt clung to him, dark with sweat at the collar and along the sculpted lines of his chest. But his eyes… they were locked on me, intense, proud, and hungry in a way that made my stomach flutter.“You’re early,” he said, voice low, approving.“I couldn’t sleep,
Save Me, Claim Me Chapter 74 : The Truth
Tessa POV I held the letter in my shaking hand and read it second time... This can't be .. real .My dearest Tessa,If this letter has reached you, then the threads of fate I so desperately tried to shield you from have begun to tighten. Forgive me. There is much I cannot say outright. I bound myself with oaths and blood to keep certain truths hidden - for your safety, and for reasons that may soon reveal themselves.You were never meant to be ordinary, little star. You were born of two worlds, and in you, something ancient sleeps - something that frightened even those who swore to protect it. I had to give you away, though it broke me in ways I never recovered from. I know the day will come when your power will return to you. You will feel it, burning like wildfire through your bones, washing away the veil I was forced to place over you. Please forgive me for that. I did it to keep you alive. The moment you were born, you became a target.The seal was not meant to break until you w
