Morwenna’s POV

I didn’t stop running, even as my legs burned and my lungs begged for air. The world behind us screamed and twisted, unraveling in bursts of silver light and smoke. Elira clung to my side, silent now, but shaking like a leaf in a storm. I could feel the realm shifting beneath our feet, realities slamming together and tearing apart with every step we took deeper into the Echo Gate.

My blood—it sang here.

This place, this strange dream of a world, knew me. Or perhaps it remembered what I was before I ever knew myself. The skies overhead shimmered with constellations I couldn’t name, but they pulled at something buried deep in my chest. I wasn’t mortal here. Not entirely. I was… becoming.

“Elira,” I breathed, stopping at the edge of a floating stone bridge suspended over a river of mirrored time. “What is this place?”

She blinked, as if surfacing from a memory too large for her small body. “This is where you left him… in the other time.”

I went cold. “Left who?”

Her gaze f

    Morwenna's POVFlames danced behind my eyelids before I even opened them. Elira’s scream echoed in my skull, a sound so sharp it cleaved through sleep, though she had long since fallen silent. I sat up in the silken bedchamber Leofric insisted I use, but no softness could ease the dread clawing at my chest. Soot and jasmine clung to my skin—scents from the dream or a memory not yet lived.She had called me “mother.” Not once. Not as a slip. She meant it—with fear. With finality. As though the world had ended and I had been the one to end it.I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and stared into the obsidian mirror across the room. My face looked different. Not tired. Altered. My eyes were deeper somehow, as if what I’d seen in that dream had carved something out of me and left something else behind.Somewhere down the hallway, the palace was already awake. I didn’t need to hear the whispers or footfalls to know—its tension had a heartbeat of its own. The nobles pretending not to pa

  • Sold to the Lycan King   Chapter 86

    Morwenna’s POVThe sky split again. Not with thunder, but with memory—mine, yet not mine. The ripple that had retreated moments ago came back, this time slower, more deliberate, as if watching. As if deciding.I didn’t let Elira out of my grip. Her fingers were small but steady. The path we walked shimmered like glass suspended over a starless void. Somewhere in the distance, time fractured again, and a scream—my own—rattled through the broken seams of reality.“Don’t look,” I told her.“But it’s you,” she whispered. “It’s all you.”I knew. Every shard, every twisted outcome, every cursed version of myself this realm tried to show me—it was all a warning.Or a prophecy.We kept walking until the ruins opened into a vast, circular hall etched with glowing sigils. They pulsed with the rhythm of a heartbeat that didn’t belong to either of us. At the center, a throne of black crystal, cracked in the middle, waited beneath a hovering relic—radiant silver, suspended in a constant hum. It ca

  • Sold to the Lycan King   Chapter 85

    Morwenna's POVI thought my mother was dead.Every lesson etched in me, every scar, every bitter promise I made myself in her memory, shattered like glass beneath my boots. She stood at the center of the ruins, a vision painted in time’s cruelty—older, ethereal, with her same storm-colored eyes staring back at me. Alive. Breathing.Elira’s hand tightened around mine. "She isn’t right," the girl whispered.I knew it before she said it. This wasn’t my mother. Not truly. There was something else behind that familiar gaze—something ancient, vast, wearing her skin like a borrowed robe. But it didn’t stop the ache inside me from wanting her."Morwenna," the illusion purred, stepping forward. "You’ve come far.""Who are you really?"She tilted her head. "You know. Feel it in your marrow. I am what waits at the end of your line. I am what time forgot, what it tried to bury. And I know why you’ve come."I glanced at Elira. The girl’s eyes glowed faintly, as if the proximity of this echo-being

    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

    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
