Morwenna's POV

Flames 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

    Morwenna’s POVElira hadn’t stirred in hours. Her body lay limp on the bed, her skin feverish and slick with sweat, but her breathing was shallow and steady. I sat beside her, unmoving, hands clasped tight around her wrist as if that anchor alone could keep her here.“She’s burning through her own soul,” Leofric said from behind me, quiet. “Whatever she did to banish the Bone Seer… it’s not over.”I didn’t answer. I couldn’t. The truth sat like lead in my chest. Elira hadn’t simply cast him away—she had ripped through time itself, shattering what remained of the veil. I could feel it in the air. Magic was wrong. Twisted. The moon’s pull was erratic, its light bending unnaturally through the window.“She’s from the future,” I whispered. “And I don’t think she was ever meant to come back.”Leofric walked to me, placing a steady hand on my shoulder. “You saved her. Whatever else is coming, she’s alive because of you.”No. She came back because of me. But saving her? That was still uncert

  • Sold to the Lycan King   Chapter 88

    Morwenna's POVI didn’t sleep.Sleep is a mercy, and mercy has never come easily to women like me.I stared at the ceiling of my chambers, draped in embroidered silk, but I felt no warmth. No safety. Just the echoes of a girl calling me mother when I hadn’t yet earned the word. Elira—born of time and ruin. Her voice had been soft but clear, as if destiny itself had been calling. And I had no answers for her.Now the castle feels smaller. Too many eyes. Too many secrets walking the halls like ghosts.By dawn, I’m standing by the eastern tower, the wind unraveling my braid as I stare at the crack that has split the horizon. The time fracture. I can feel it bleeding through the air like oil in water. A smell of metal. A taste of thunder.Behind me, the footsteps I know best. Leofric.He doesn’t speak immediately, just wraps his arms around my waist and rests his chin on my shoulder. "You haven’t slept.""Neither have you."He holds tighter. "I dreamt of fire. And a crown. But not on my h

  • 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

  • Sold to the Lycan King   Chapter 84

    Morwenna’s POVI 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
