ログインChapter 111: Chains of Victory DAMIEN’S POV I slammed Cassandra against the nullstone wall of the dungeon cell. The chains rattled loudly as her back hit the cold surface. Blood still dripped from the cut on my side, but the pain felt distant now. Anya’s moonlight flowed through our bond and dulled the worst of it. The imprint worked better than I had hoped. She carried my curse and I drew on her strength. We had become something new on that battlefield.“Talk,” I growled as I pressed my forearm against her throat. “What are you doing here? Why did you show up here on the night of my wedding ceremony? Did Cassian send you?” Cassandra smiled through split lips. Her eyes gleamed with madness even as nullstone suppressed her power. “You really think I will do Cassian’s bidding? Damien, you should know that you chose the wrong sister. Anya will destroy you just like her grandmother promised.” I tightened my grip until she gasped. The bond pulsed with Anya’s unease somewhere above us i
Chapter 110: Echoes in the Blood ANYA’S POVThe heavy wooden door to Damien’s chambers clicked shut behind us and cut off the last echoes of music from the feast. Silence wrapped around me like a thick cloak. My white gown suddenly felt too tight across my chest as I stood in the middle of the room. Candles burned low on every surface and cast warm golden light over the large bed draped in black and silver furs. Damien watched me from near the window with his hands clasped behind his back. The new blood bond hummed steadily between us like a second pulse I could not ignore.I crossed my arms and moved away from him toward the fireplace. Heat from the flames brushed my skin but did nothing to warm the cold knot in my stomach. “So this is it. We are truly bound now. No turning back.” Damien stepped closer with slow measured steps. His black robes brushed the floor as he stopped just behind me. “You felt it during the ritual. Our blood sings together. The curse already feels lighter in
Chapter 109: Shadow’s Fury CASSIAN’S POV I stood on the ridge overlooking Damien’s territory with shadows curling around my fists like living smoke. The full moon hung fat and mocking in the sky while distant drums and cheers drifted up from the courtyard below. They celebrated. That bastard had actually done it. He had married Anya under the moon and bound her with blood while I watched from the shadows like a fool who had hesitated at the wrong moment. Rage burned hot through my veins. I slammed my palm against the nearest tree trunk and bark exploded under the impact. How had I let this happen? I should have taken her the moment I stepped into that chamber. Instead I played games and watched two wolves fight over her like idiots. Now she carried his blood in her body and his ring on her finger. The thought made me want to rip the entire forest apart. “Damn it all,” I growled into the night. My voice echoed off the rocks and faded into the trees. I had underestimated Damien’s d
Chapter 108: Blood Moon Unison ANYA’S POVServants tightened the white gown around my waist and pinned my hair with silver combs that caught the moonlight. The fabric flowed like liquid silk down my legs, beautiful and heavy at the same time. I stared at my reflection in the tall mirror and barely recognized the woman looking back. My eyes looked hollow. My hands trembled as I clutched the bouquet of night-blooming flowers they had forced into my grip. Every part of me screamed to run, but my feet stayed rooted to the stone floor. I kept hoping. Every second I prayed Rowan would burst through the doors and stop this nightmare. He would roar my name, fight through the guards, and pull me away from Damien forever. But the minutes stretched on and the only sounds I heard came from the servants whispering instructions and the distant drums beating in the courtyard. “They are ready for you, my lady,” one older woman said softly as she adjusted the veil over my face. I swallowed hard an
Chapter 107: Broken Alpha ROWAN’S POVThe gates of the pack house loomed ahead like silent judges as I stumbled through them under the moonlight. My legs felt heavy with every step and my chest burned from the long run back. Guards nodded at me but I could not meet their eyes. I kept my head down and pushed through the main doors into the quiet halls. The familiar scent of home should have brought comfort. Instead it twisted the knife deeper because she was not here. I walked straight to our shared quarters and stopped at the doorway. The bed still carried faint traces of her scent mixed with mine. It felt empty and cold. I stepped inside and closed the door behind me with a soft click that sounded too loud in the silence. My hands shook as I leaned against the wall. The weight of what I had done crashed over me all at once. Damien would marry her tonight under the full moon in his territory. With her wearing a gown and standing beside him while I sat here like a fool who had hande
Chapter 106: Blood and Vows DAMIEN’S POVAnya looked straight at me with tired, red-rimmed eyes and asked the question that hung heavy between us. “What next?”I took a deep breath and stood taller in front of her. The lantern light flickered across her pale face as I gave her the answer I had planned for so long. “We are getting married tonight. The full moon will rise soon and the ceremony will take place in the courtyard. Everything is prepared. You will become my wife before the night ends.”Her eyes widened in shock and she shook her head rapidly. “No. No, Damien. Absolutely not. I cannot marry you. I will not do it.” She pushed herself up from the bed with shaky legs and backed away from me. Panic flashed across her features as she wrapped her arms around herself. I stayed where I stood and watched her closely. “Rowan abandoned you. He walked away like a coward and left you here with me. Cassian turned and left the moment he realized he would not win you tonight. I am the onl
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
Chapter 30: Before The Vow ROWAN’S POV I stood in the pack house hallway and signed off on the final seating chart for the wedding, we were expecting three hundred guests. Three hundred people who would watch me chain myself to a lie in four days. My hand shook as I handed the clipboard back to t
Chapter 27: Love Me ANYA’S POV I spent the last three days pretending I was fine, but I wasn’t. Every breath felt heavy, every sound grated against my skull, every corner of Ironclaw mansion reminded me that I didn’t belong anywhere and the emptiness settled so deep in my chest it hurt to breath
