The world spun, light folding in on itself, and then we landed with a crackle of golden sparks. My knees buckled, the force of the spell dragging the breath from my lungs, but we were no longer in that snow-choked battlefield. Familiar stone walls greeted me… the abandoned watchtower.

It still reeked faintly of my magic, the place where I had once dared to take Kael’s Lycan essence and place it inside Dominic.

Jacob blinked, wild-eyed, his dagger still pressed close to Isaac’s chest. “What the hell—?” He spun in a circle, confusion twisting across his features. “Where are we?”

Before I could answer, Isaac stomped down hard on Jacob’s boot.

“Argh!” Jacob snarled, loosening his grip.

In the same heartbeat, Isaac bolted, legs pumping like a deer set free. He ran straight for me, eyes wide, cheeks flushed, and every ounce of bravery in that small body screaming through the way he didn’t look back.

“Isaac!” I cried, arms opening.

Jacob recovered fast. His face darkened. With a furi

    {Dominic}My boots dragged with each step as I walked behind the servant, the ache in my body throbbing subtly, but I kept pace. A Bloodhound Alpha did not limp, not even after bleeding himself hollow.We stopped before Grimhold’s doors; carved oak so tall they nearly touched the arching ceiling, polished with age but scarred by claws of long ago. The servant bowed, his nervous eyes flicking up to me once before pushing them open.Heat rushed out as the doors opened; herbs and smoke and the faint metallic tang of medicine.Grimhold’s chambers were vast, all dark timber and iron sconces glowing with gentle firelight. The bed completely dominated the room, a monstrous thing carved from blackwood, its canopy draped in scarlet fabric. There he lay, Alpha Grimhold, chest rising slow but steady beneath fur blankets. Myra hovered at his side, her gown rumpled, dark hair unpinned from worry. Beside her stood a cloaked figure, and judging by the glint of charms around his wrists, he was a heal

    {Dominic}Snow still clung to my boots by the time Grimhold’s manor came into view, its towering stone walls glowing faintly with light. My body protested with every step—each muscle torn, each vein cracked—but Lyra at my side kept me upright, emanating a soft light that seemed to keep the exhaustion at bay.Kael had vanished, saying he had one last thing to do, after delivering Isaac safely into her arms, leaving the boy pressed between us, small and trembling but alive. And for that, even my fire-burned chest found the strength to breathe easier.The front gates swung wide the moment we approached. Soldiers rushed forward, their expressions twisting between relief and horror when their gazes landed on me. I didn’t miss the panic in Myra’s stride as she hurried down the steps, Odessa right behind her, their gowns swishing against the snow.“Dominic!” Odessa’s voice cracked, fear sharp in it. “Have you seen Isaac? We can't find him anywhere in the manor.”Myra’s sharp tone cut through

    {Dominic}I could barely keep upright, every inch of my body cracked and seared, molten veins dimmed to ember. My skin steamed, smoke bleeding from wounds too deep to count. If it weren’t for Lyra’s arms braced tight around me, I would have collapsed into the ruin of ice and ash at our feet.Her light pressed against my skin, steadying me, though her hand trembled. “Dominic,” she whispered, as if speaking louder might shatter me.The ground rumbled in answer. A low, guttural laugh rolled through the clearing, deeper than thunder. Shadows poured from the cracks in the snow, veins of black splitting wider until the battlefield itself breathed with Ryker’s corruption. He was everywhere—his voice in the air, his claws in the soil, his hatred in the marrow of the earth.“You think you’ve won?” His words scraped like stone dragged across glass. “You’ll drown with me, Alpha. Both of you.”The shadows surged upward, a tidal wave of smoke and claws. The pines withered where the tide touched th

    {Lyra}Isaac’s sobs still clung to me like smoke as I raced back into the storm. Every instinct screamed I was reckless, that I had left him too soon, too vulnerable—but the bond in my chest tugged harder than fear. Dominic’s presence throbbed through me, a broken flame gasping for air, and I couldn’t ignore it. Not when it felt like each heartbeat might be his last.The forest opened in a blaze of fire and shadow.Snow boiled into steam where molten claws slashed the earth. Dominic’s Lycan towered above the chaos, his body lit from the inside like a fractured lantern. Veins of gold ran molten across his fur, searing through muscle, threatening to split him apart. With every step, cracks widened, leaking light that wasn’t meant to be contained.My breath hitched. He looked magnificent. Terrifying. Like Kael’s essence had remade him into something beyond wolf, beyond man—yet the sight broke me. He was burning alive from the inside, his own strength devouring him.“Dominic,” I whispered

    {Dominic}Snow whipped around us in furious spirals, stung into motion by the shockwaves of our blows. Every strike against Ryker cracked the earth open wider, and still he came at me, shadow fangs snapping, claws black with corruption. My fire clashed against his darkness until the clearing looked like the birth of a new star—flame and void colliding in endless ruin.My ribs throbbed from where he had crushed them moments ago. The wound sealed, but Kael’s essence roared so hot it was beginning to blister me from the inside. My veins glowed molten beneath my fur, pulsing with every ragged breath I drew.Ryker circled me with a predator’s patience, his hulking form wreathed in smoke. His red eyes gleamed, cruel and unshaken. “She left you, Dominic. Didn’t you feel it? That little witch didn’t trust you with her precious brother.” His jaws curled into a grin of jagged shadow. “She ran because deep down she knew—you’d fail them both.”I snarled, my flames flaring higher, but his words sl
