LOGINChapter 102: Fading Light ANYA’S POVI screamed at the top of my lungs. “Stop it!”The three of them kept tearing into each other like wild beasts in the middle of the chamber. Fists flew and bodies slammed together with sickening thuds. Blood already smeared the stone floor while grunts and snarls filled the air. Rowan grappled with Cassian as Damien drove another brutal punch into Rowan’s side. They refused to listen.My heart pounded with panic and frustration. I could not watch them destroy one another any longer.Power surged through my veins without warning. It rose faster and hotter than before, fueled by fear and anger. Moonlight magic mixed with my wolf instincts and rushed to my hands in a bright silver glow. I thrust both palms forward and released everything I had in one desperate burst.A powerful wave of energy exploded outward from me. It slammed into the three men with brutal force and flung them apart like rag dolls. Rowan crashed against the far wall with a heavy gr
Chapter 101: Shadows and War CASSIAN’S POVI pushed the broken door wider and stepped into the chamber, the scent of sweat, blood, and raw tension thick in the air. The scene hit me like a slap. Rowan gripped Anya’s wrist with a possessive snarl on his face while Damien lunged forward, his hand outstretched and eyes wild with desperation. Anya stood trapped between them, her body tense and her expression torn. Three hearts pounded in this cramped stone room and all of them beat for her.A slow smirk tugged at my lips as I took in the chaos. “Well, looks like we have a full party.”Rowan’s head snapped toward me first, his wolf flashing bright in his eyes. “Cassian. This does not concern you. You need to leave.”Damien straightened with effort, still unsteady from the curse that had clearly wracked his body moments ago. “She stays with me. Both of you can rot.”Anya yanked her arm from Rowan’s grip and stepped back, her chest rising and falling fast. “Stop it, all of you. This is insa
Chapter 100: Destroyed Trust ROWAN’S POVI stormed into the chamber with my blood pounding so hard in my ears that I could barely hear anything else. The door hung half off its hinges behind me, wood cracked and splintered from the force of my entrance. My eyes locked onto the scene in front of me and everything inside me froze for one painful second before erupting into pure fire.Anya was on her knees on the cold stone floor, arms wrapped tightly around Damien. Her cheek rested against his hair while his hands gripped her waist like she was the only thing keeping him from falling apart. Tears glistened on his face. The bastard had actually been crying. But I didn’t care about his tears. All I could see was my mate holding the man who had kidnapped her, chained her, and planned to marry her against her will tonight.My wolf slammed against my ribs with savage force, snarling and clawing to get out. The rage that flooded my system burned hotter than anything I had felt before. How co
Chapter 99: Fire in My Veins DAMIEN’S POVThe curse struck without mercy. One second I knelt beside the bed with my heart laid bare, and the next, white-hot fire exploded through my entire body. It felt as if molten iron had been poured straight into my bones and now raced through every vein with vicious intent. I gasped sharply and clutched at my chest with both hands while my claws dug deep into my own skin. Dark veins bulged and spread rapidly across my arms and neck like living poison. My vision blurred with streaks of red and black, and every nerve ending screamed in agony.I knew this feeling too well. The curse. The same ancient darkness that her grandmother had placed on me now roared back to life with even greater fury. This time it felt stronger and wilder, as if Anya’s closeness somehow fed the flames instead of calming them. My muscles seized violently, twisting with uncontrollable spasms. Pain exploded behind my eyes, and I slammed my fist hard into the stone floor. The
Chapter 98: Broken Vows and Shattered VowsANYA’S POVI yanked hard against the silver chains that bound my wrists to the heavy bedpost until the metal bit deep into my skin. Pain flared sharp and hot, but I kept pulling with every ounce of strength left in my arms. The links rattled loudly in the quiet room yet refused to give even an inch. Sweat beaded on my forehead and trickled down my back as I twisted my body and braced my feet against the wooden frame for better leverage. Nothing worked. The restraints held firm with cold indifference.Frustration burned in my chest like acid. I closed my eyes and reached deep inside for the spark of magic that lived in my blood. The Moon Witch power stirred faintly, like a distant echo. I focused on the warmth and pushed it toward my hands with gritted teeth. Silver light flickered weakly around my fingers and danced across the chains for a brief moment. I poured more will into the effort and whispered the old words my mother once taught me un
Chapter 97: The Smirk in the ShadowsCASSIAN’S POVThe heavy doors of the great hall burst open with a crash that echoed off the black stone walls. My men dragged Cassandra inside like a sack of writhing meat. Her screams filled the air sharp and desperate while tears streamed down her once-perfect face. She kicked and twisted against their iron grips but they held firm with hands like vices around her arms. The sound of her bare feet scraping across the cold floor sent a dark thrill through my veins.“Please Cassian,” she begged between sobs. “Let me go. I will disappear. You will never see me again. Just spare me this once.”I sat on the raised throne of obsidian and watched her with cold detachment. No flicker of the old pity stirred in my chest. That part of me had died long ago when she first showed her true fangs. The mighty Cassandra reduced to this sniveling mess. Once she had strutted through these halls with her chin high and her belly swollen as a shield. She had believed t
Chapter 31: An Incoming Disaster DAMIEN’S POV Morning light slipped through the heavy curtains and painted gold stripes across the sheets. Anya lay curled against my chest with her dark hair fanned over my arm and her breathing soft and slow. My marking stood proud on the curve of her neck, two p
Chapter 33: My Heart Beats For Him ANYA’S POV Damien had been strange all day, it felt like he was trying to avoid me. I saw him only in flashes between doors as he spoke in low tone with Gavin and stared at maps like the borders were on fire. Whenever I tried to get his attention he would touch
