“Cassian.”

He had already turned away from the arch when I said his name.

He stopped but didn't look back.

The word DROWNED remained carved into the stone behind us, faintly glowing beneath the moss. I couldn't stop staring at it, but the questions burning inside me were no longer about the shrine.

They were about the woman.

About the way Cassian had recognised the description before I had even explained what she looked like.

“Don't tell me we have to leave again,” I said.

Cassian glanced over

  • THE Alpha's HOLLOW BLOOD    Chapter 14 — The Man Who Warned Her

    The bell rang again beneath the earth.The sound travelled through the ground, rising through my boots and settling deep inside my bones. My Hollow mark tightened against my skin. Dark veins branched around it, spreading beneath the surface like cracks in glass.I pressed my hand against my wrist.The skin was hot, but the sensation went deeper than heat. Something beneath the mark seemed to be pulling, stretching against my flesh as though it wanted to break free.Cassian turned towards the forest.“Someone’s coming.”I tightened my grip on my knife.Footsteps dragged through the undergrowth. Uneven. Slow. Each step was followed by a pause, as though whoever approached needed to gather enough strength to continue.Then a figure stumbled between the trees.Blood covered his shirt. One hand clutched his side while the other reached for anything strong enough to hold him upright.I recognise

  • THE Alpha's HOLLOW BLOOD    Chapter 13 — The Mark's Direction

    The warning stayed inside my head long after the arch fell silent.Don't trust the boy.I stood beneath the broken stone arch, barely breathing, while Cassian watched me with a question written across his face.“What happened?”I looked at him.He hadn't heard her.That should have made me feel relieved.Instead, it frightened me more.Because whatever had spoken to me through the Hollow had chosen me alone.“I heard her again,” I whispered.Cassian's expression tightened. “The woman?”I nodded.“What did she say?”I hesitated.For some reason, repeating the words made them feel more dangerous.“She told me not to trust you.”Silence settled between us.Cassian didn't look offended. He didn't even look surprised.He simply studied me for a moment before glancing towards the forest.“And do you?”“I don't know.”His jaw tightened slightly.“That might be the smartest answer you've given me.”A sharp crack sounded somewhere behind us.Cassian immediately stepped in front of me.His body

I couldn't stop staring at it, but the questions burning inside me were no longer about the shrine.They were about the woman.About the way Cassian had recognised the description before I had even explained what she looked like.“Don't tell me we have to leave again,” I said.Cassian glanced over his shoulder. “We do.”“No.”His expression hardened. “Elara—”“No.” I stepped away from the arch. “You don't get to drag me through a forest, tell me that everyone is hiding something from me, and then expect me to follow you without asking questions.”His jaw tightened.I moved closer.“You knew about her.”“I knew stories about her.”“You recognised her.”“I recognised what she might be.”“That sounds like the same thing to me.”“It's not.”“Then explain the difference.”Cassian looked past m

  • THE Alpha's HOLLOW BLOOD    CHAPTER 11: THE WOMAN BEYOND THE ARCH

    The voice came from inside the arch.“Elara…”I froze.My injured ankle throbbed beneath me, but I barely felt the pain anymore. The creature was somewhere behind me, crashing through the forest, yet the ancient arch in front of me seemed to pull at something deep inside my chest.The symbol carved into its centre glowed beneath the vines.The same symbol burned on my wrist.I should have turned around.Instead, I stepped through.Cold swept over me.The forest vanished.For one breathless moment, there was nothing but darkness.Then a woman appeared several feet ahead.She stood beneath a pale light that seemed to come from nowhere. A dark cloak covered her body, and long silver-grey hair fell over her shoulders. Her face was calm, but her eyes were fixed on my wrist.“You finally came,” she said.My heart hammered.“Who are you?”She

  • THE Alpha's HOLLOW BLOOD    CHAPTER 10: THE HUNGER IN THE DARK

    The creature stepped into the clearing.For a moment, I forgot how to breathe.It stood behind the three hunters, towering over them with a body that seemed too large and too twisted to belong to any living thing. Its shoulders were hunched, its arms unnaturally long, and patches of dark, matted fur covered its skin. Its fingers ended in curved claws that scraped against the ground.Its eyes glowed a sickly yellow.The wounded man beside me began trembling.Not because of his injury.Because of the creature.I pressed my back against the fallen tree and held my breath. The smell of blood hung heavily in the air, mixing with the damp earth and the strange, rotten scent coming from the creature.One of the hunters turned towards us.His head moved slowly, as though he could already sense where we were hiding. He lifted his weapon, but the creature raised one long arm.The hunter stopped.A deep, rough sound came from the creature's throat.It wasn't a growl.It sounded like something tr

  • THE Alpha's HOLLOW BLOOD    CHAPTER 9: THE TRAIL OF BLOOD

    I ran until my lungs burned.The stranger’s warning followed me through the darkness.Do not answer it.I didn’t know what I was supposed to hear, but I knew one thing.I did not want to find out.Branches clawed at my clothes as I pushed deeper into the forest. My ankle throbbed with every step, but stopping felt more dangerous than the pain.Behind me, the hunters were still somewhere in the darkness.Or maybe they weren’t.I didn’t dare look back.Another howl tore through the trees.I flinched.My foot caught on a root, and I fell hard.The obsidian stone slipped from my hand and disappeared into the leaves beside me.Pain shot through my ankle.I bit down on my lip to stop myself from crying out.For a moment, I stayed on the ground, listening.Nothing.No footsteps.No voices.Only the wind moving throug
