LOGINThe moment the council admitted they had lied about what I became, the bond between Kael and me started tearing itself apart.
Pain exploded through my chest so violently that the fractured world around us blurred instantly. It did not feel emotional anymore. It felt physical, brutal enough to make it seem as though something alive inside me had been torn apart by force.I gasped sharply as ancient power burst uncontrollably from my body. The collapsing system screamed beneatThe moment Kael remembered who had poisoned the bond, real fear entered his eyes for the first time in centuries.The fractured world around us trembled violently as ancient darkness moved beyond the collapsing seal once more, slowly enough to feel deliberate. Watching. Waiting. The creature beside me immediately shifted closer, massive wings spreading protectively around both Kael and me while low growls rumbled through its chest.The reaction alone terrified me. Because this creature had faced kingdoms, war, and centuries of torture without fear. Yet whatever waited beyond the fractured darkness had reduced it to pure instinctive protection.Kael’s hand found mine immediately. His fingers were cold now. Not from weakness, but memory.The fractured remains of our bond pulsed violently as the realization spread through him fully, dragging forgotten truths back to the surface piece by piece. I felt them returning before he even spoke.A sh
The moment Kael whispered that name, every memory of the war came back at once.Not fragments. Not distorted pieces softened by time or sealed beneath ancient magic. Everything. The force of it nearly dropped me to my knees.The fractured world around us dissolved beneath the returning memories while ancient power spiraled violently through the collapsing system. The creature remained positioned protectively in front of me, massive wings spread wide as darkness rolled endlessly from its body.But I barely saw any of it anymore.Because I was back there again.The day the world burned.The memory swallowed me whole.Smoke blackened the sky above the ancient kingdom while silver fire consumed entire cities beneath it. Wolves screamed through collapsing streets as the ground itself split apart under unstable power. The bond between the creature and me had become corrupted beyond balance, twisting violently through every connected wolf in
The moment the final memory returned, I understood that the war had started because of me. Not because I became monstrous. Not because the creature beneath the seal lost control. Because I refused to surrender.The truth crashed violently through the fractured bond between Kael and me, ripping away the last illusion the council had buried beneath centuries of lies. The collapsing world around us trembled harder beneath the weight of the returning memories while ancient power surged uncontrollably through my veins.And this time, nothing inside me tried to reject it. Kael felt the shift instantly. His hand tightened painfully around mine despite the blood still running slowly from his mouth, his breathing uneven as the damaged bond continued tearing through both of us.But even through the agony consuming him, his eyes remained locked completely on me. As though he already knew what memory had returned.The creature beneath the broken sea
The moment the bond shattered halfway apart, I felt Kael dying inside me.The pain was immediate and unbearable, not sharp enough to scream through but deep enough to hollow everything inside my chest until breathing itself became difficult.The fractured connection between us pulsed violently once before destabilizing again, ancient energy ripping through the collapsing world around us hard enough to distort the shattered space completely.Kael’s body jerked against mine. Blood spilled down the side of his throat while his arms tightened around me instinctively, as though some part of him still believed holding me close could stop the destruction tearing through us both.“Kael.” My voice broke completely around his name. He tried to answer. The sound never fully came out. The creature beneath the broken seal roared violently in response, darkness exploding upward through the fractured world while the remaining council figures staggered backward i

It did not feel emotional anymore. It felt physical, brutal enough to make it seem as though something alive inside me had been torn apart by force.I gasped sharply as ancient power burst uncontrollably from my body. The collapsing system screamed beneath it. Cracks split deeper across the fractured ground while the unstable markings beneath our feet flickered violently between silver and black.The surrounding council figures staggered backward in panic, finally losing the cold composure they had maintained since the beginning. Kael caught me before I could fall completely.His arms wrapped around me instinctively, pulling me tightly against his chest as though holding me physically together could somehow stop the destruction
The moment the kneeling figure screamed that the corruption was returning, fear spread through the fractured space faster than the darkness itself.The creature’s roar still shook through the collapsing world around us, ancient and violent enough to crack the unstable system farther apart. Darkness spiraled wildly from its massive body while broken chains dragged heavily beneath it, but this time the rage pouring from the creature no longer felt mindless. It felt terrified.The kneeling figure staggered backward across the fractured ground, his composure finally breaking completely as ancient markings burned brighter beneath his feet.“It cannot happen again,” he said sharply. “If the corruption spreads through her fully, none of us will survive this.”Kael moved immediately, stepping in front of me again without hesitation despite the violent instability unraveling around us. The protective instinct inside him had become almost desperate now, eve
