The whispered warning rooted my bare feet to the freezing floorboards. I stood perfectly still in the dim corridor and held my breath to listen. A faint rattle of metal chains drifted from the pitch-black cell right next to mine.

"Who is in there?" I asked in a hushed tone.

I ignored the throbbing pain in my shoulder and crept closer to the adjacent cage. I gripped the rusted iron bars and pressed my face against the cold metal to peer inside.

"They brought you down here too," the voice whimper

    The whispered warning rooted my bare feet to the freezing floorboards. I stood perfectly still in the dim corridor and held my breath to listen. A faint rattle of metal chains drifted from the pitch-black cell right next to mine."Who is in there?" I asked in a hushed tone.I ignored the throbbing pain in my shoulder and crept closer to the adjacent cage. I gripped the rusted iron bars and pressed my face against the cold metal to peer inside."They brought you down here too," the voice whimpered softly from the shadows."Did you say the guards are dead?" I pressed because I needed to know exactly what was waiting for me near the stairwell."I heard them screaming a few hours ago," the girl answered, and the chains rattled again as she shifted her weight on the stone floor. "Something tore them apart and dragged them away."Her movement made the faint ambient light from the distant hallway catch the side of her face. I saw a flash of silver-blonde hair matted with dried blood and dirt

    The two royal guards did not speak a single word as they hauled me down the winding stone staircase.Their heavy leather gauntlets dug into my bare arms and forced me to match their rapid pace.The chaotic noise of the storm and the shouts of the courtyard soldiers faded away with every step we took into the earth.The air grew freezing cold and heavy with the sickening stench of stagnant water mixed with ancient mildew.I knew this awful smell because it haunted my nightmares every single night since I woke up in this timeline.Flickering torchlight cast long and distorted shadows across the damp stone walls of the underground corridor.We reached the lowest and darkest level of the royal catacombs where the kingdom buried its worst traitors.Water dripped steadily from the vaulted ceiling and formed slippery puddles on the uneven floorboards.My bleeding feet left faint red footprints on the grey stone but neither of the men marching me forward seemed to care.They stopped in front

    My dislocated shoulder throbbed with a blinding pain that radiated all the way down my spine and made my vision blur at the edges."Callista, look at me," Ajax commanded, stopping his advance just ten feet away from the altar steps.I tore my gaze away from the treacherous priest and looked at the tall man standing in the center aisle.The freezing rain continued to pour through the broken doors behind him and soaked the floorboards beneath his heavy boots."Put the silver down so we can figure this out like rational people," he coaxed in a much softer voice."There is nothing to figure out because he is guilty of treason," I sobbed and refused to let the priest go."He is going to smile in your face while he burns your kingdom down around you."Ajax let out a heavy breath and rubbed the back of his neck with his bandaged hand."You cannot accuse the highest spiritual leader in the kingdom of treason and murder without providing proof, Callista."The word proof echoed across the empty

    The sudden gust of the violent storm instantly extinguished the single devotion candle burning on the silver altar and plunged the room into heavy shadows.Ajax stood in the ruined entryway with his dark armor dripping wet and his broad chest heaving from the desperate sprint across the courtyard.He had his sharp claws extended through the shredded remains of his white bandages, and his golden eyes burned through the darkness as he scanned the room.He expected to find a masked killer cornering me in the shadows, but he found me playing the role of the monster instead.I gripped the carved hilt of the sacred silver offering dagger and pressed the sharp edge flush against High Priest Kaspar's wrinkled throat.My bare feet slipped slightly in the puddle of rainwater and dark mud pooling on the polished marble floor."Drop the weapon right now, Callista!" Ajax roared over the howling thunderstorm raging outside.His deep voice shook the ancient stone pillars and commanded absolute obedi

    "Get your hands off me," I snarled and shoved the royal medic away from my bandaged wrists.The young boy stumbled backward into the slippery mud and clutched his leather satchel tightly against his chest."But Your Majesty, the burns will fester if we do not apply the second layer of salve," he pleaded while the freezing rain plastered his hair to his forehead.I ignored his warning and pushed past a group of crying nobles huddled near the collapsing guest wing.My inner wolf was clawing violently at the walls of my mind and howling for the mate who just fled into the storm.Callista looked at me like I was the devil himself before she scrambled away on her bleeding feet.I needed to find her before the Crimson Eclipse assassins realized she survived the green fire and finished their dark job."Secure the northern gates and lock down the lower courtyards!" I roared over the deafening sound of the thunderstorm.The royal guards scrambled to obey my orders but the sheer chaos of the bu

    I pressed my bare shoulder against the cold marble pillar and prayed the thick shadows would hide the ruined state of my red dress.The heavy scent of melted beeswax and dark lavender incense usually brought peace to the royal court but tonight it just made me sick to my stomach.I held my breath while the muffled roar of the freezing rain battered the high stained glass windows above us and masked the sound of my ragged breathing.High Priest Kaspar paced back and forth in front of the sacred silver altar with his pristine white robes sweeping across the polished floorboards.He did not look like the holy man who smiled at the children during the harvest festival because his wrinkled face was pale and slick with panicked sweat.The very same man who blessed my execution in my past life was currently losing his mind in the middle of an empty sanctuary."You promised me the fire would be contained to the lower levels," Kaspar hissed in a frantic whisper and gripped the edge of the ston
