Siron froze in the doorway. The man stood in the dimly lit apartment corridor, illuminated by a flickering neon light. His face was still handsome, but something was different. He looked more human, there was a shadow of tiredness under those gray eyes, facial lines that were slightly softer. His clothing was ordinary, too: a simple black shirt and jeans, not a robe or ancient attire. Yet his eyes, though gray now, still radiated the same depth.

"Morat?" Siron mumbled, his voice hoarse.

"May I come in?" Morat's voice sounded normal, but there was a subtle vibration beneath it that made the air hum.

Siron nodded stiffly, opening the door wider. Morat stepped inside, his movements graceful but no longer like a floating shadow. He closed the door himself.

For the past three days, Siron had tried to return to routine. Classes, assignments, comforting his still-wary mother. But every night, he woke up and reached for his wrist, feeling the scar of the symbol that was now

  • Shifter Deathbound Curse    Chapter 50: Siron Trapped in the Bathroom

    Darkness. Dampness. The sharp, stinging scent of mildew and bath soap.Siron was thrown onto the cold ceramic floor, her shoulder hitting the tiles with a dull thud. Her breath hitched. She heard the bathroom door in front of her, the door that had just opened on its own, slam shut, followed by the definitive click of a lock turning from the inside.She was trapped.Outside the door, a frenzy erupted: roars of fury, the sound of claws scraping against wood, and Alaric’s voice screaming commands to open the door. But the sounds were muffled, as if coming from behind a thick pane of glass.“Hello?” Siron called out, her voice trembling in the cramped, dark space.There was no answer.Shaking, she fumbled along the wall beside her, searching for the light switch. Her fingers found it. She flicked it on. The neon light above the bathroom mirror flickered several times before humming to life, casting a cold, white glare that stung her eyes.The bathroom was small, just a sink, a toilet, an

  • Shifter Deathbound Curse    Chapter 49: Morat Forces Proximity

    With her heart hammering against her ribs, Siron watched as Alaric’s green chains throttled Morat’s dark form. Morat’s scream still echoed in her head: “RUN! FIND THE RELIC!”Every instinct screamed at her to stay and help, but her common sense, what little of it remained, realized she had no power to stand against Alaric. She looked at Kit, who lay motionless, and then back at the struggling Morat. Tears of desperation tracked down her cheeks.“I’m sorry,” she whispered. She crawled toward Kit, grabbing her friend’s limp body. With an agonizing effort, she hoisted Kit onto her shoulder and began to run through the collapsing corridor, dodging the falling debris.Behind her, Alaric’s laughter grew louder, punctuated by Morat’s roars of pain. She didn't dare look back.After several turns, she found a spiral staircase leading upward. She climbed it, lungs burning, until she finally emerged into the deserted main hall of the Aethelford temple. It was deep into the night; there were no p

  • Shifter Deathbound Curse    Chapter 48: Siron Sees the True Form

    The white explosion wasn’t a sound; it was a total annihilation of the senses. Siron was hurled into a void weightless, tasteless, nothing but a consciousness drifting among the debris of a collapsing reality. The scream of three voices, his own, Morat’s, and Alaric’s, braided into a single, elongated shriek that was eventually muffled into static hiss.Then, there was light.Not a blinding glare, but a dim glow like dawn breaking through mist. Siron felt himself standing in a place that was strange yet felt ancient. Surrounding him was a dense forest of towering trees, beneath a purplish sky where two moons hung low. The air felt denser here, heavy with the scent of damp earth and wildflowers.Where…?Moments ago, he was in the crumbling temple corridor. Now, this was somewhere completely different. He looked down at himself, or at least, his consciousness, and saw hands and feet, but they were translucent, like a ghost.And then, he saw them.In a clearing in the middle of the fores

  • Shifter Deathbound Curse    Chapter 47: The Ritual Fails Completely

    “AND FOR THE OPENING ACT, LET’S START BY ENDING THIS FRIEND OF YOURS.”The voice a blend of Morat’s depth and Alaric’s cunning, sliced through the air. Morat’s body moved with unnatural agility, like a marionette jerked by the strings of a cruel puppeteer. His claws, still sharp and black, raised toward Kit.Siron reacted without thinking. He lunged, slamming into Kit and knocking them both to the side. The claws swiped through empty air exactly where Kit’s head had been, leaving deep gouges in the stone wall.“Run, Kit! Get out of here!” Siron yelled, scrambling to get up.But there was nowhere to run; the corridor was endless. The door to their apartment had vanished, replaced by solid stone. They were trapped in the heart of the temple.Alaric-Morat laughed, a layered, dissonant sound. “Run? Oh, no. We’ve only just begun.” He clenched his fist, and the entire corridor trembled. From the ceiling, dripping water turned into a black ichor that corroded the stone wherever it landed.Ki

  • Shifter Deathbound Curse    Chapter 46: Siron Attempts the Ritual

    The temple corridor shouldn't have been behind his apartment door. The damp, ancient carved stone, the smell of incense and moss, and a silence thicker than night, it was all real. Too real. Siron was stunned, his hand still gripping the doorknob, which had transformed into rusted iron.At the end of the long corridor, lit by self-igniting torches, the two figures waited.Morat was in a form Siron had never fully witnessed: his athletic human body was covered in skin like gray ash, etched with faintly pulsing black lines. Claws, not fingernails, sprouted from his fingers. His face retained remnants of its handsomeness, but it was now distorted by an elongated muzzle and fangs that protruded down to his chin. His eyes glowed blazing red, pupil-less, yet within them, Siron could still see a flicker of gold, the remains of Morat’s struggle.And beside him, like a shadow cast by fire, stood King Alaric. Not fully formed, more like a misty silhouette with details of a crown a

  • Shifter Deathbound Curse    Chapter 45: Morat Bares His Fangs

    Dark energy swirled wildly in Siron's palm, sucking the light from the surrounding room. Kit was trapped up to his knees, his face reflecting pure fear, but also deep sorrow. He stared directly into Siron's eyes, or what used to be Siron's eyes."Siron, please," Kit pleaded, his voice breaking. "This isn't you."Inside Siron, his silent scream echoed. But his voice was trapped, besieged by the two alien presences that were both clashing and allied against him. He felt Alaric's wild glee at Kit's suffering. And behind that, a wave of black jealousy from Morat, a possessive desire to eliminate this intruder forever.This is for our own good, Alaric whispered, his voice like boiling oil in Siron’s mind. He will only separate us.And Morat, in his present physical form, stepped closer to Kit from behind. He leaned down, bringing his mouth close to Kit’s ear. The voice that emerged was Morat’s, but colored by Alaric’s piercing intonation. “He has chosen. You are no longer
