THE CAPTIVE'S LOVE THE CAPTIVE'S LOVE CHAPTER 87
The moisture of the lower dungeon stuck to walls like decay. Mold seeped in through cracks in stone. Drips sounded far away, a measured, maddening rhythm to the suffering of Rhovan's breathing.He swayed in iron chains bolted to the wall, arms above his head, limp body and bloodied. Burn marks seared his skin—an angry red branding from the interrogation rods. His lips were split, eyes almost swollen shut, but still aglow with defiance.They hadn't broken him.Not yet.Not even when they spoke her name in cruelty. Not even when they informed him that she carried Vladimir's child.He had not spoken. Because what was important now… wasn't where she was.It was that she was free.A change in the atmosphere froze him.Footfalls.Not the clang of guards. No oaths sworn. No shouted commands. Just the quiet, measured pace of boots on age-blackened stone—sure, deliberate.Rhovan didn't raise his head. Not yet.The footfalls halted before his cell. And then the massive iron door groaned open."

The winds had ceased.Snow fell softly against the mountain's rim outside the cave. Icicles hung on the overhang like rows of teeth, shining in the pale light of the morning. But within, the secret refuge shaped by ancient hands throbbed warm and still, its walls soft with protective runes scratched in gold.Vera stirred the potion beside the hearth, the smell of herbs and crushed moonblossom filling the air. The fire burned quietly.Emereah sat on the ground, surrounded by dusty volumes and rolls of parchment, her legs crossed under her growing belly. Her fingers followed a worn sigil on the page, her forehead creased in concentration.She stopped.The heat left her backbone like an unwelcome flurry of winter.She gasped, hand splayed over her heart."Emereah?" Vera stood beside her in an instant, holding her steady. "What is it?"The fire in the hearth flared—once, twice.Then burst into flame.Emereah's gaze was far away, as if she gazed through the stone and snow and miles of spac

The days had quieted down.No thunder. No hunting horns. No secrets breathed on the wind.Only the soft rustle of trees in the valley below, the soft hush of morning dew dripping from leaves, and the quiet sound of Emereah's breath, slow and even as she sat cross-legged beside the flamepit.Her hand lay on her belly, round now — throbbing with heat. The child moved.Vera moved around the cave like a silent sentinel, always alert, always armed. But her eyes softened each time they landed on Emereah — her friend, her flameborn sister, now carrying something far more precious than rebellion.“You’re up early,” Vera murmured, setting down a basket of dried herbs and crushed fireroot. “You didn’t sleep again, did you?”Emereah gave a faint smile. “The baby likes to dance at dawn.”Vera raised an eyebrow. "Your child's already as impatient as its mother. Saints preserve us.""I believe that saints are not involved with what is approaching," Emereah replied quietly.There was a silence — thi

Helix rose to her feet, voice increasing in outrage. "You offered her refuge, Rhovan. You disobeyed your pack. Your oath. Your Alpha. You disobeyed us.""I disobeyed fear," Rhovan snarled. "I disobeyed murder in the name of prophecy. I disobeyed you—and I'd do it again."One of the younger elders, a pale-eyed woman named Yra, leaned forward. "Where is she now?"Rhovan glared at her, unblinking. "Far from your reach."Enza's lips curled. "We can make you talk. You're not Flamebound, Rhovan. Not like she is. You bleed just like the rest."Calrex indicated the side alcove, and two shadow-cloaked sentinels emerged carrying instruments made of moon-silver and obsidian.Rhovan's jaw clenched.“We don’t want to harm you,” Calrex said almost gently. “But the child she carries… the omens are worsening. Storms gather at the borders. Earthquakes beneath the cliffs. Magic unraveling in the far north. If it’s born—”“You’ll blame it no matter what,” Rhovan snapped. “Because it’s easier to slaughte

The cave was deathly quiet.A heavy shroud of magic encircled the entrance, spun by Emereah's hands and Vera's ancient incantations. There was no sound to escape. No light to flicker. No path to wind here—not through woods or flame.It was a lost place.A protected place.Or so they hoped.Emereah sat beside the fireless hearth, her fingers distractedly tracing the round of her belly. The child shifted gently within her—an ember under skin.Vera came back from the cave entrance, face drawn with concern. "Still nothing," she whispered, putting down a satchel of herbs. "No scouts. No howling. No trace of them."Emereah nodded, looking distant. "But they're looking."Vera sat beside her. "How do you know?""Because the air was off." Emereah's voice barely existed. "Because the connection between us—between him and me—shuddered last night. Like something had been announced. Like something… changed."She gazed off toward the stone wall, as though seeing beyond it, past the cliffs and accur

The moon remained low and red-hued over the sky, throwing a bloody color across the balconades of stone in the Flame Court.Vladimir alone, one hand leaning on the war tower railing, the other tightly balled into a shaking fist.He felt it.Something was changing.The planet itself ached—tense, as a bowstring was pulled to snapping point. It was in the breeze, in how the soldiers walked more rigidly today, how even Captain Rhen went out of his way to avoid his eye. Something unwholesome moved.He couldn't remember when the feeling started—possibly in the middle of the night, waking from a dream about Emereah with roots of fire surrounding her, her hand holding against her full belly, her eyes wide with caution.Or maybe it was the scent—terse, vilely recognizable. Politics. Treachery. Perfume redolent with blood.He didn't flinch when the doors behind him opened."Speak," he spoke without warmth."It's happened," Rhen whispered. "The Council had a private session today. Without your i
