LOGINKAELEN POV“I’m not really up for your family drama,” Malvoryn said coldly. “All I want is my daughter… and I’m taking her.”My heart stopped.Before I could even process it, he raised a hand and pointed.One of the masked men stepped forward.Straight toward Sylvara.“Stay away from her!” The word tore out of me.I ran faster towards her“Sylvara!” I roared, pushing forward.. But something slammed into my path.Maren.She stepped right in front of me, blocking me again.. I wasn't in the mood for her nonsense.“Move,” I growled.His lips curled.“Give her to them,” Maren said coldly. “Why are you hesitating? That thing… that offspring of a monster doesn’t belong here. Let her go Kael”My eyes burned with anger.“What did you just say?” I whispered.Maren didn’t flinch.“You’re not thinking straight, Kaelen,” she said. “You’re letting that evil control you. She has to go. Take her.”Something inside me snapped. and suddenly everything went blurry…I could hear Sylvara behind me.I coul
KAELEN POVThe words hit like a blade.“I killed her.”For a second… Everything stopped.The air. The sound. My breath.I couldn't believe my ears.. Did he just say he killed my mom..No.Fuck No!I squeezed my hand so tight in a fist that my knuckles began to swell.“What did you just say?” My voice came out low… shaky.Malvoryn didn’t look away. Didn’t hesitate.“I killed your mother,” he repeated calmly. “Right in front of him… Your father .”His eyes flicked—slowly—to Malachai.“And he did nothing,” Malvoryn said nonchalantlyThe room exploded.Gasps. Shouts.. the council elders murmuring wordsBut I didn’t hear any of it.Because all I could see…Was red.My head snapped toward Malachai.My father stood still.Didn’t say a word his eyes fixed on me.. he didn’t even dare try to defend himself.That silence said everything.“His lying,” I said, but it didn’t sound like I believed it. “He can’t be saying the truth right, Father?Malachai didn’t answer.Didn’t even look at me.Someth
SYLVARA POV“…daughter?”The word didn’t feel real.It echoed in my head like a bad loud noise that wouldn’t fade away.Did he just say daughter… that couldn’t.. it can’t be true.My fingers curled slowly at my sides.“No…” I whispered.My voice sounded low and weak.Nothing like the man who had just stood in that hall and killed without hesitation.“This is a lie.”It had to be.It had to be.But the moment I said it…Something inside me twisted.That same pull.That same strange recognition.Stronger now.Painfully there is no matter how much I fight it.My chest tightened.I shook my head, taking a small step back.“You’re lying,” I said, louder this time. “I don’t have a father.. “Malvoryn didn’t stand there watching me.. like he expected this… expected my denial.”“I know,” he said calmly.” I know it’s hard to accept but my dear you can’t change the truth.” He said laughingThat eerie sound of his laugh made my stomach twist.My breathing grew uneven.Kaelen stood in front of me
KAELEN POV“You wouldn’t dare.”The words left my mouth low and steady, but everything inside me was already on fire ready to burn this bastard standing in front of me.Every instinct I had was screaming.Protect her.And kill him.. End it now.But this stranger had no fear …Just watched me… like he was an ant he could snap easily with our finger.Then he smiled.That cold eerie kind of.. that made your bones be alder for danger..“Calm your horse Alpha” he said calmly. “It would be useless to try to have a battle with me.”My grip on my sword tightened.“Try me.”Ael shifted slightly to my right, cautious.“Kaelen,” he said quietly, a warning under his breath.I ignored him.My gaze stayed locked on the man in front of me.“You walked into my home,” I said, voice dropping colder. “You threaten my Luna. You don’t get to walk out alive”A pause.Then..“That’s about right,” he said. “Silly me.”And that… made something in my chest tighten.Because he sounded like he meant it.Suddenly
SYLVARA POVMy throat felt dry.Every instinct in me screamed to step back… to deny everything… to run.But I didn’t move.I held my ground.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said, keeping my voice as steady as I could.The silence stretched.Too long.I could feel every pair of eyes in the room on me… waiting.Waiting for me to say something.To confirm it. To deny it.To admit that I asked for help from a strange voice I didn’t know, and I am too scared to admit it, cause I don’t know the price for the debt.I swallowed hard.“No,” I said again, quieter this time. “I don’t know you.”But even I could hear it now.The doubt in my own voice.The man’s gaze didn’t leave mine.“But you feel it, don’t you?” he said softly.My chest tightened.“Feel what?” I snapped.“That pull,” he replied. “That hunger… that side of you.. You don’t understand.”My breath hitched.Kaelen’s grip on my hand tightened slightly.“Don’t answer him,” Kaelen said lowly.But it was too late.Because th
SYLVARA POVI walked fast. As fast as my leg could carry me. I need to get out of this hall.My heart was still racing from what almost happened.The smell. The pull. The way my body had moved before I could stop it.. the way I nearly took off a maid's head and the thought of drinking her blood salivated in my mouth.I shook my head hard.“No… no…” I whispered under my breath.I needed to get to my room.I needed to think.To breathe. To get control.My hands were trembling as I turned the corner, my steps uneven for a second before I forced myself steady again.That wasn’t me.It couldn’t be.But the feeling was still there… faint now, but alive. Waiting.Then.. suddenly I heard voices… screams and shoutsI froze.“Intruders!”The word echoed through the halls.More voices followed. Guards running. Orders are being shouted.My chest tightened.“What now…” I breathed.I turned toward the noise, my instincts shifting instantly.Fear faded immediately.Kaelen.I thought I ran to him imm
I woke up slowly, my body heavy, my mind foggy.The bed beside me was empty.For a moment, I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, listening to the quiet of my chambers. The sheets were still warm, scented with him, and that alone made my chest tighten. Kaelen was gone. No warning. No goodbye. Ju
My fists landed where they could… jaw, shoulder, throat. Not clean. Not pretty. But effective.Rovan snarled and shoved me hard. I hit the ground on my back, the impact knocking the air out of me completely this time.For a heartbeat, the sky spun above me.Get up.I rolled just as his foot came do
Sylvara PovThe training ground fell quiet when Kaelen stepped forward.It wasn’t sudden. It was the kind of silence that spread slowly, like everyone felt him before they saw him. Conversations died. Laughter faded. Even the restless shifting of wolves eased as attention turned toward the raised s
We reached my chambers, my legs still weak from the fight and the tension, my chest pounding from Kaelen’s touch and the memory of Aedric’s gaze.Kaelen still followed me His hand stayed on my back, sliding down, firm and possessive, gripping me in a way that made my body heat up instantly.
