Cold.

That's what hit her first.

Not just a chill, like a night breeze or a dip in the river. This was deep, old, a cold that wormed into her bones. Selene tried to move, but even thinking about lifting a hand sent a jolt of pain through her wrists and ankles. Not a normal pain, but a magical ache, like the threads of magic were binding her too tight.

Her eyes shot open.

She was flat on her back in the middle of a stone circle covered in runes. It looked like pages she wasn't supposed to see. The room glowed green from braziers shaped like wolves’ heads, spitting out weird fire. Above her, the ceiling was a dome covered in symbols.

A ritual chamber.

Her pulse went haywire.

She tried again to move. Her wrists were stuck – not with rope, but with glowing runes that felt like hot metal sinking into her skin. The magic was thick, dark, definitely not made by a Weaver. Stolen magic. Twisted.

Then she heard voices.

Two, no, three.

They echoed from somewhere she couldn't see.

  • The Alpha King's Shadow   Chapter 88

    The Gate seemed to call Selene's name, not with sound, but with a demand.The dark void inside the archway stretched out, like threads of nothingness reaching for her, testing the air, feeling the vibrations in her bones. Suddenly, the black glass floor cracked in circles, red lines lighting up like open wounds.Aurek was the first to move.He didn't shout or pause. Instead, he grabbed Selene's wrist, pulling her close as something powerful woke up. Gold light filled his eyes, and his veins glowed like hot wires under his skin."Enough!" he yelled at the Gate, his voice deeper. You can't have her.The darkness backed off slightly, just enough to make the room scream. The stones cried out, the air shifted, and a wave of force hit Aurek, pushing him back. His boots dug deep lines in the glass floor.Selene stumbled with him, gasping for air.Lysera was already moving, swords drawn, glowing symbols shining on their edges. But she paused as the Gate turned, not to face her, but Selene.Th

  • The Alpha King's Shadow   Chapter 87

    The cavern didn't just crumble; it hesitated, listening first.Stones hung in the air, their cracks trembling but frozen. It was like the whole place was holding its breath, waiting for some signal before giving way. The silence was all wrong—too heavy, too aware.Selene felt it before she heard it: a breath. Not the wind, not just air moving, but a slow, deep inhale from the earth itself, tugging at her bones, vibrating through her marrow. It stirred up old memories as well.Aurek went rigid, his arm instinctively tightening around Selene. A low growl rumbled in his chest, like a wild animal wanting to be set loose.Lysera cursed under her breath. That's no cave-in.Another breath came, deeper this time.The markings under Selene's feet—now her markings, she realized—pulsed faintly, not flaring wildly or attacking, but responding."No," Selene whispered, "It's… listening."Then the floor dropped, not in a sudden crash, but deliberately.The stone slid aside like a door opening, revea

    Okay, I will rewrite the texts to make it sounds natural and engaging.***CHAPTER 80 — WHAT BLEEDS STILL BELONGSThe crazy wolf didn't charge at them like a wild thing.Instead, it grinned.The grin spread slowly across its face, opening its mouth inch by inch, showing off teeth stained black from burns and blood. And some of that blood? Definitely wasn't the wolf's own. You could see broken bits of chains hanging off its shoulders and back, clinking softly against the cave floor. Each clink was like a sad reminder of how it was supposed to be locked up.Aurek's breath got all short and shallow.The dude was waking up inside Aurek – he pulled back for a split second, surprised, but then he came surging back, all mixed up with knowing something awful and hating it at the same time.Finnian, he said.The name just dropped into the silent cave, heavy as could be.The wolf turned its head a bit, and its eyes burned bright white as the marks cut into its skin glowed even brighter. You rem

  • The Alpha King's Shadow   Chapter 85

    The cavern sighs, not with air, but with a tangible shift in pressure. It rolls out from the glowing sigil in a deliberate wave, like the earth breathing out a long-held secret. Selene tenses beside Aurek, her fingers digging into his. The hum beneath their feet grows louder, resonating in their bones.Someone's coming.Not sneaking, not charging headfirst, but steadily drawing near.Aurek feels it before he hears it—a power tugging at his senses, a presence warping reality like gravity bends around a star. He stands tall, his back ramrod straight. The wild power within him stirs, alert and caged, every sense honed to a sharp edge.Behind us, he murmurs, his breath ghosting past her ear.Selene nods, her gaze fixed straight ahead.Footfalls echo in the cavern, slow and steady, each step deliberate. There's no clatter of armor, no scrape of metal on stone. Whoever is coming isn't trying to scare them.Which only makes it worse.A figure steps into the sigil's faint light.A woman.She'

  • The Alpha King's Shadow   Chapter 84

    The very first thing Selene registers isn't fear crawling up her spine. Nope, it's pure, focused attention.It hits her like a pressure building behind her eyes, almost like a hand gently—but firmly—pressing against her chest from the inside. It wasn't forceful or aggressive.It felt like… assessment.She sucks in a sharp breath. Her fingers dig into the rough, cold stone beneath her. As she frantically glances around, the cavern appears exactly as it was moments ago. The bottomless pit still gapes behind them, dark and never-ending. Aurek is still at her side, his shoulders set, his body coiled tight, ready to spring into action.But something is different. She can feel it.Something has noticed them.“Aurek,” she whispers, her voice barely carrying over the oppressive stillness of the air, “do you feel that?”He doesn’t answer immediately. A beat of silence hangs in the air.That alone sends a shiver of unease down her spine.When he finally turns his head, whatever fire had been bu

  • The Alpha King's Shadow   Chapter 83

    It wasn't serenity or emptiness, but a suffocating stillness.The silence hammered at my ears, a weight on my chest, a vise on my thoughts. It felt like the world itself was holding its breath, judging whether humanity deserved to continue existing. A heavy, expectant pause before some cosmic verdict.Aurek still held me, too tight.His arms were bands of steel around my ribs, his chin a solid weight against my temple. It felt like if he loosened his grip even for a second, something inside me would shatter and fly apart into a million pieces.Aurek, I breathed, my voice barely audible.He didn’t respond.His breathing, normally a comforting rhythm, was off. Too slow, too heavy. Each inhale sounded like a monumental effort, like he was dragging something immense along with it.I shifted back just enough to see his face.Thin lines of gold-black light pulsed beneath his skin, not glowing like the conduits we share—these were embedded. Etched. As if something had rewritten his very bein
