The sun filtered through the thick canopy above the shapeshifters’ camp, casting dappled shadows across the open clearing where Emilia moved with precision and focus. Sweat glistened on her brow, her breath even despite the intensity of her movements. Around her, the earth shifted in response to the surge of power beneath her skin—her connection with Lana, her wolf, now almost seamless.

A low growl echoed through her throat as she dodged an invisible strike, pivoting and launching herself forward in a burst of energy. The training dummy, reinforced with bone and spellwork, cracked beneath her claws.

She paused, chest rising and falling, eyes burning with resolve.

Her powers had grown significantly in the past few days—amplified by the ancestral magic that pulsed through the land of the shapeshifters, and by the bond she was finally embracing with Lana. The wolf had once been a silent presence in her mind, guarded and wary. Now, Lana’s voice was steady, her instincts blending with Emil

  • Sold to the Devil    Chapter 168: The space between us

    The door clicked shut quietly behind Dante.Emilia didn’t turn. She stood on the balcony, the wind gently tugging at her hair as she leaned forward on the railing. The moonlight traced her silhouette, making her look almost ethereal—almost unreachable.He stood there for a moment, watching her. The silence between them stretched.Then, softly, he said, “You really plan to go through with this?”Emilia didn’t respond right away. She inhaled deeply, as if the cold air could steady something unraveling inside her. “Yes,” she finally said.Dante walked toward her. “This war... it doesn’t have to happen.”She didn’t look at him. “It already is happening, Dante. Just because no one’s drawn blood yet doesn’t mean they haven’t made their move.”He stopped beside her, gripping the railing too. “And burning anyone who disagrees with you—is that how you plan to lead?”Her jaw tightened. “You think I’m being cruel.”“I think you’ve changed.” He turned to face her. “And I don’t know if it’s for th

  • Sold to the Devil    Chapter 167: Shadows on the Balcony

    The moon hung low and heavy over the estate, casting silver light over the stone-carved balcony where Emilia stood alone. Her long, dark robes swayed gently in the breeze, the hem brushing against the marble beneath her bare feet. From here, the lands stretched endlessly—forests veiled in mist, mountains etched against the horizon, and the faint flicker of torches far below where the warriors trained under her command.Yet none of it brought her peace.She closed her eyes.The wind whispered, the trees murmured, and deep within her, something stirred. Lana’s voice—her wolf—tried to reach her, tried to soothe the weight pressing on her chest, but the sound was muffled. Drowned beneath louder voices. Darker ones.Power is safety. Fear is respect. Trust no one. Kill before they kill you.The whispers had become constant ever since the crown touched her head. They didn’t scream, but they didn’t stop. They hummed with the rhythm of her heartbeat, fed by every betrayal, every wound, every s

  • Sold to the Devil    Chapter 166: Fear and power

    The council chamber had long emptied, but the scent of scorched ash still clung to the air like smoke after a wildfire.Dante stood near the tall arched window of his private study, arms crossed, brows furrowed, his jaw tight with unease. Below, the Bloodmoon grounds bustled with anxious movement. Warriors whispered, elders avoided eye contact, and the usual quiet pride of the clan had been replaced by cautious silence. The fire Emilia had lit—both literal and metaphorical—still burned beneath every word exchanged among the pack.The heavy door creaked open behind him. Dante didn’t turn.“I was wondering when you’d show up,” he said.Luka stepped inside and let the door close softly behind him. He leaned against the wall, arms folded, watching his Alpha with that quiet, measured gaze of his.For a long moment, neither spoke.“She’s different,” Luka said finally.Dante said nothing.“She’s not the Emilia we knew,” Luka continued. “Not the girl who flinched at killing a spider in her ol

  • Sold to the Devil    Chapter 165: Her kingdom

    Word of Emilia’s rise to power as the Blood Bride had spread like wildfire across territories. Whispers and rumors preceded her arrival at the Bloodmoon Clan, twisting awe into unease. By the time their party reached the edge of the clan’s territory, the air itself seemed to stiffen around them.The gates were opened in tense silence. Warriors who once smiled at Dante now averted their eyes. Emilia walked at his side, robed in deep black, a subtle red gleam beneath the fabric. Her crown—formed of bone and blood-forged silver—gleamed in the fading sun. Her gaze was unreadable, sharp as glass.Luka trailed behind them, ever loyal, but his eyes flicked to Emilia more than once, uncertain. This wasn’t the same girl he once teased around campfires or offered spare meat to when she refused to eat.They were escorted to the council chamber by a wary envoy. Dante gave Emilia a soft, questioning glance as they entered. Her expression didn’t change.Inside, the elders were already seated, their

  • Sold to the Devil    Chapter 164: Our Bond

    The halls of the coven felt cold despite the fires that still burned in the sconces. Emilia stood in front of the tall mirror in her private chamber, still wearing the crown they had forced upon her. But it wasn’t heavy. No—she wore it like it was made for her.Behind her, the door creaked open.Dante entered, his expression guarded. He paused as he took her in—bathed in moonlight, unflinching, regal… and distant. The same woman he had followed into the jaws of death, but no longer the Emilia he once knew.Her reflection met his in the mirror. Neither of them spoke.“I wanted to talk to you alone,” Dante said finally.“I figured,” she replied.His voice was low, careful. “That ritual chamber… what you did to Lenora…”“She deserved worse,” Emilia interrupted flatly.Dante didn’t argue. But his eyes softened with something close to grief. “You’ve changed.”She turned, the crown gleaming under the silver light. “I had to.”“Do you regret it?” he asked.“No,” she said, eyes locking with h

  • Sold to the Devil    Chapter 163: The Blood bride

    When they all arrived at the throne hall, the sight before them was shocking. Witches.The throne hall reeked of ancient blood and burnt magic.Stone pillars towered into shadow, their surfaces etched with spells too old to name. Torches flickered with unease, casting crooked silhouettes along the walls. The scent of scorched flesh still clung to the air, a reminder of the battle none would forget—and none would dare speak of.Emilia walked through the ruined hall like a shadow, her footsteps silent. Her blackened robes billowed with each stride, scorched at the hems, soaked in blood—some of it hers, most of it not.She did not flinch when the witches knelt. She did not pause when they whispered her new title.“Blood bride…”Her lips curled into a slow, wicked smirk.Not the girl who once feared her own power. Not the girl who stumbled into this world by accident.She was chosen. She was victor.And she would never be weak again.The elder witches stood at the base of the obsidian thr
