Leofric's POV

Her scream still rang in my head. Not the one from pain, but the one I’d never heard—held deep inside her as the fire took her. That silence had been louder than any cry. And I was the reason for it.

She was breathing. Barely. But she was alive. I clung to that fact as I carried her through the smoking remnants of the trial grounds. Her blood had cooled on my hands, and I hated how natural it felt to hold her this way—as if every path had led here. As if fate had prepared me not to love her, but to ruin her.

I laid her down by the stream that cut through the trees, soaking a cloth and dabbing her wounds. She winced, eyes fluttering.

"You're safe now," I murmured.

She stared at me, dazed. "You lied."

I flinched. Not from the words—but from the clarity in them. She wasn’t just waking. She remembered.

"I had to," I said, kneeling. "If I told you who you were then, you never would’ve walked into that trial. You never would’ve survived."

  • Sold to the Lycan King   Chapter 83

    Morwenna's POVI didn’t breathe as time fractured around us, collapsing in like a dying star.Elira's voice still echoed through the threads—a child's wail ricocheting through the ruins of the Moon Temple, calling me mother. Me. Not some echo of the woman I used to be, but me now. I felt it like blood under the skin.Leofric moved first, always the sword before the question. He lunged at the Bone Seer, his blade cleaving through one of the temporal mirages that shimmered like oil in the air. But the Seer remained untouched, as if time bent to protect him."She knows how it ends," the Bone Seer said, gaze fixed on me. "That child of yours is not a warning. She's the reckoning."I stepped forward, my heartbeat a drum of defiance."I won't let your version of the future stand."He smiled, all rotted teeth and riddled prophecy. "Then you will break the world to save her. Just like before."Before. What did he mean by that? I had no memory of birthing Elira, no glimpse of her in dreams or

  • Sold to the Lycan King   Chapter 82

    Leofric’s POVLight doesn't behave like it should here.It bends around corners, folds in on itself, flickers with the memory of things yet to come. I thought I understood time magic—I was wrong. This place, whatever part of the Hollow King’s nightmare we landed in, has its own rhythm. And it’s tearing us apart.I stumbled through a curtain of smoke that smelled like burnt lavender and old blood. My hand still burned where Elira touched me. She was just a child, but her eyes held a weight that cracked my bones. I turned back for Morwenna, my breath catching.She wasn’t behind me."Morwenna!" I shouted.No answer.Panic clawed at my ribs. I’d only let go for a second. One damned second. I retraced my steps, calling her name, shouting into the fractured maze of stone and time, until my voice bled raw.Then I saw her.She stood in a clearing of shattered mirrors, every reflection broken but one. In that single untouched pane, she wore a crown of night-thorns and a dress woven from starli

  • Sold to the Lycan King   Chapter 81

    Leofric’s POVTime is broken here.I felt it the moment we crossed the threshold. Cold, endless, wrong. The Hollow King’s realm doesn’t obey rules. Not gravity, not memory, not even death. One step forward could stretch for miles; a blink could last years. And the screams—they didn’t stop. They came from the walls, from the wind, from inside our own skulls.Morwenna kept close, her fingers wrapped around mine like a lifeline. She was shaking. I didn’t blame her. So was I. But we didn’t let go."Don’t speak unless you must," she whispered. "He listens. Through echoes. Through doubt."I nodded, and we pressed on. Through shifting hallways of bone and shadow, past monuments made of glass teeth and bloodless eyes. The Hollow King’s domain was a cathedral of nightmares, built on everything we tried to forget.We came to a valley of mirrors, each one showing a different version of ourselves. In some, we were crowned. In others, dead. In one, Morwenna held a child with silver hair and eyes t

  • Sold to the Lycan King   Chapter 80

    Leofric's POVI never believed in peace. Not the type that endures. Yet, reclining beside Morwenna in the quiet following everything, her head resting on my chest and our legs entwined like roots that wouldn’t separate, I wished to think it might be true.Only for a brief moment. The flames had faded away. The Bone Seer had vanished. For the time being. Yet the smell of burned land still remained, an echo of the conflict that was unresolved.We secured a victory, but not the overall conflict. "You're silent," she whispered softly onto my skin. "Attempting to recall how this feels."Her fingers made slow circles on my ribs, as if she was committing me to memory as well "You think it'll all go to hell again tomorrow.""No. I think it'll go to hell in the next hour."She laughed, soft and sad. "You're probably right."We lay like that for a few minutes, and then she sat up. There was blood dried on her shoulder, and soot in her hair. Beautiful and ruined. Mine."I saw something," she sai

  • Sold to the Lycan King   Chapter 79

    Morwenna's POVFire still licked at the edges of my vision as I struggled to sit upright. My body felt like broken glass stitched together with thread and pain. Every breath burned. Every movement screamed. But I was alive. I remembered the flames. The voices. The curse splintering. Leofric’s hands on my skin. His voice calling me back.I turned slowly, and he was there—kneeling like a prayer that refused to be answered. Blood on his cheek, ash in his hair, eyes locked on mine like I was the only god he’d ever worship.He looked wrecked.And I remembered his words.I lied to you. About your birth. About the first time I saw you.Those words crawled under my skin like thorns."Say it again," I rasped, my throat raw from fire and truth.He didn’t flinch. "I lied. You weren’t born in the village. You were never meant to be offered to the moon cult. They took you from somewhere else. I was there the night it happened. I was a boy, but I knew enough to stay quiet."My stomach turned. "You
