Merva hesitated. “The Alpha will not be pleased.”

“He rarely is when reminded of the truth.”

"Tell them I am coming."

Her voice cracked like ice on fire. Cold, but something old burned beneath—something hungry.

Present Day

The Grand Hall was bathed in torchlight, filled with murmurs. Elders and enforcers alike stood waiting, their eyes flicking between Perfera and the empty chair beside her—the Alpha’s throne.

Perfera stepped into the hall wearing black and silver. No one spoke as she passed. Power followed her like a storm on heels. She paused beside the empty throne and turned to face them.

“I speak on behalf of the Alpha,” she announced, her voice firm, regal. “Reinforce the northern wall. Send hawks to the outlying villages. If the cursed beasts rise again, we will meet them with fire and steel.”

“And the Luna’s rites?” asked Elder Cael, his tone carefully neutral. “Do we proceed?”

A pause.

Perfera’s lips curved. “Yes. We begin at dawn.”

A ripple of surprise swept the room.

    “I rose from it,” she whispered. “I didn’t die.”“No,” Ignatius said. “You transformed.”He stood and gestured to the stone altar nearby. “Come. There’s more.”Krishna followed, muscles aching but eyes sharp. The altar was carved with ancient symbols — not of the Moon, but of the Flame. A creed lost when the Silver Crescent devoured the old cults.Ignatius rolled out a map. “These are the Seven Ember Trials. Each one a piece of the flame you lost.”Krishna studied the parchment. “You want me to complete all seven?”“You must,” he said. “Each one unlocks not just magic — but memory, will, and soul. You don’t need power alone, Krishna. You need clarity.”Her fingers brushed the first mark — The Hollow Heart.“And what happens after I complete them?”Ignatius stared at the rising sun through the trees.“Then… you’ll be unstoppable.”Days Passed. Then Weeks.Each day Krishna awoke before dawn, her breath steaming in the cold, her limbs aching from the day before.She fought phantoms — con

    It was supposed to save them all.It was supposed to make them need me.And now, it threatened to expose everything.A door creaked behind her.Bootsteps — armored, urgent.A soldier stepped forward, pausing a respectful distance from the balcony’s edge. His armor was dented, smeared with soot. One arm was in a sling, and blood crusted the corner of his mouth. He bowed low.“My lady… are you alright?”Perfera didn’t turn. Her voice was calm, too calm.“Yes,” she replied, the words cold and even. “Just watching history unfold.”The soldier hesitated, eyes darting to the horizon, then back to her.“The fires are still burning. Casualty reports are flooding in from all quadrants. Half of the eastern village has fallen. The healers are overwhelmed. And… some of the infected began turning before death.”Perfera’s hand curled tighter around the balcony rail.The curse had evolved faster than she’d calculated.The soldier licked his lips, uneasy. “We’re… not sure how far it’ll spread. The sc

    “I’ll need answers,” he growled.Perfera stepped closer, her voice firm but gentle. “Miyal… this is a new phase of the curse. We need strategy. Ritual wards. Moon-iron. You can’t fight this with swords alone.”His eyes darkened. “Then give me what I need. Or move aside.”Elder Cael raised a hand. “We send a unit. A swift strike force. Find the boy. Contain the infected. Burn what must be burned.”“Burn…” Miyal echoed bitterly, the memory of Krishna’s pyre flickering behind his eyes.Perfera looked at him, something unreadable behind her eyes. “This is your moment, Alpha. Lead them.”He turned for the door.Perfera’s voice followed him like a shadow. “Don’t let your ghosts ride with you, Miyal. This time… don’t hesitate.”He paused — just for a moment.Her tone was cold. Calculated. Yet something beneath it cracked, ever so faintly. She stood a few paces behind him, her dark robes shimmering with protective runes, wind whipping her hair around her face like a storm-bound crown.Miyal d

    Ignatius looked at her, his heart aching and whole all at once.The fire at the altar crackled, its light flickering against moss-covered stones and the gleam of Krishna’s eyes.She stood still, blade in hand, breath rising like smoke into the cold forest air.But Ignatius wasn’t finished.He stepped in front of her, his shadow swallowing the runes etched beneath her feet.“I told you,” he said firmly, his voice low and trembling with suppressed fury. “You need to heal first.”Krishna blinked, eyes narrowing. “There’s no time. The seal—”“I don’t care about the damn seal right now!” he snapped.His words struck the air like thunder.“I won’t let them know you’re still alive,” he said, softer now, but no less fierce. “Not yet. Not until you’re ready. You think they’ll embrace you? No, Krishna. The moment they see you — truly see you — they will raise their spears, not their arms.”She flinched, but he pressed on.“Please,” he whispered. “Just once. Listen to me. Your world… it doesn’t

    He stepped forward, his voice breaking. “Can you please forget them? Let it go. Let them go. Start a new life. Somewhere distant. Somewhere peaceful. Where no one calls you witch.”Krishna looked away, eyes focused on the moon now nearly full — the same moon that had hung above her the night she was betrayed.“They didn’t just burn me,” she said quietly. “They erased me. My name. My truth. They replaced me with a lie wrapped in silk and poison. Perfera’s lie.”Ignatius shook his head, his voice growing sharper. “That lie saved you. That lie gave you a second chance.”“No,” Krishna snapped, her voice cutting like winter wind. “It gave her the throne. The Alpha. My place.” Her hands curled into fists. “She twisted the truth. Turned Vosvak into a martyr. Claimed she walked the ruins to earn power — but she walks them because she was born from them. His blood flows through her, and it carries the darkness.”She stepped closer to Ignatius, her gaze fierce now. “If I leave, she wins. If I s

    “I studied,” she said, softly but firmly. “Before I came to this court, I traveled. I read what records remain — in tomes buried beneath ash and locked in ruined vaults. I walked the outskirts of Eglath. The energy there has shifted. You can feel it in the soil.”Elder Cael stared at her, his lined face unreadable. “That is not common knowledge, even among historians.”“No,” Perfera said. “It isn’t.”There was a moment, fleeting but sharp, where her voice cracked — barely — as if brushing against something deeply personal. But it vanished as quickly as it came.Minister Harel tapped the table. “If what you say is true, then Krishna was never the source of the curse.”“She was,” Perfera answered. “She was a A sacrifice to appease the monster for what she done doing spell that make the monster became ravage, Her flames served to cleanse but not enough because until now they are still there.” Her gaze drifted toward Miyal. “The seal is broken because the power that upheld it was dismantl
