{Dominic}

Blood.

It was all I could taste. Bitter. Metallic. Filling my mouth, my lungs.

Snow pressed against my back like knives. Every flake seared into my open wounds, freezing fire against the corruption already eating me alive. My body wouldn’t move. Too heavy. Too broken. Each breath felt like dragging glass through my chest.

I blinked, but the world came in broken fragments. Blurred shadows. White ground. A sky that spun. And then—

A glow.

Gold, searing through the dark like a star dropped to earth. My vision swam, shapes bending and collapsing, but I knew that light. I would always know it.

Lyra.

Her voice pierced the ringing in my ears, faint but desperate. “Dominic—”

My throat worked, but only a wet rattle escaped. Blood dribbled down my chin, staining the snow crimson. My eyes rolled back, and I genuinely thought this was it. That this was where it ended—broken, unfit, watching the world fade while Ryker walked free.

But then I thought of her, and the fact that if I were go

    {Dominic}Ryker’s head snapped toward the clearing where Lyra’s golden light had burst, his shadows writhing like snakes in a panicked state.“Where are they?” he snarled, spit flying from his fangs, his claws twitching at his sides.I spat blood into the snow and wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. “How should I know? I was left behind too.”His eyes narrowed, he clearly didn’t buy it, not really. But he also couldn’t scent her anymore, and that fact alone made his fury more unstable.Then, like the maniac he was, Ryker’s lips stretched into a slow grin. “Do you really think you can defeat me without her? Without that little witchlight holding you together?”I chuckled low in my chest, ignoring the sting in my ribs. “You’ve got it backwards, Ryker.” I straightened, flexing my claws as heat began to pulse in my veins. “Lyra leaving us both behind is probably the most unfortunate thing that could ever happen to you.”He stilled. “And why is that?”I let my grin sharpen, baring the

    {Dominic}Snowflakes clung to my lashes, melting against the heat of my skin as the world stopped in its tracks.A few feet away, Jacob stood grinning like a mad man, with one arm hooked around Isaac’s chest. The boy’s small frame trembled, his eyes wide with fear, and just under his throat was a blade with black veins crawling along the steel, writhing like something alive.Lyra’s golden glow faltered, sputtering like a dying candle. I felt it immediately—the warmth, the fire in my veins that kept Ryker at bay—slip out of reach. I cursed myself silently for not killing Jacob when I had the chance. No, I’d been stupid enough to let him crawl away like a rat, thinking I had more important things to deal with. And now he held the one person who could break Lyra’s spirit with a single twitch of his wrist.Ryker’s raspy laugh slithered across the clearing. “Drop your little hero act, Dominic. One wrong move, and the boy bleeds out on the snow.”The words were punctuated by Isaac’s whimpe

    {Lyra}I ran until my lungs burned, but no matter how hard I pushed my legs through the snow, I couldn’t keep up with Dominic. He was a storm given flesh—swift, unstoppable, devastating in his rage. Every time I thought I caught a glimpse of him between the trees, he vanished again, shadows and snow swallowing his form whole.“Dominic!” My voice tore from my throat, raw and desperate. But he didn’t slow down. He didn’t even glance back.Branches whipped against my cheeks, the forest floor cracked beneath my boots, and my magic prickled under my skin, trying to guide me, yet I still couldn’t reach him.By the time I stumbled into the clearing, chest heaving, I was too late. There was nothing left.No Dominic. No Grimhold. Not even Ryker. Only scorched snow and claw-marked trees. The silence pressed against me, thick and eerie, as if the world itself had been holding its breath.My knees trembled, but then the wind shifted, and I felt a pulse.It wasn’t just magic, but something deeper,

    {Dominic}The air between us trembled with power, heavy enough to crush the lungs of any ordinary wolf. My claws curled, aching to tear into Ryker’s blackened flesh, but I couldn’t ignore the sight of Grimhold sagging in the snow, his ember-lit frame dimming by the second. The fool had burned his life essence—his very soul—to buy us time. He deserved more than to be left as ash in Ryker’s wake.Ryker lunged at me, shadows whipping around his body like serpents. I met him head-on, our collision shattering the clearing with a thunderclap. His claws sparked against mine, teeth snapping inches from my throat. We hung locked in midair, snarls ripping from our throats, and then I twisted. Using the raw surge of energy still new in my veins, I shifted my weight, redirected the momentum, and hurled myself backward toward Grimhold.Snow cracked beneath my feet as I landed beside him. The sight carved a hole in my chest—Grimhold’s eyes were half-shut, his massive frame trembling as if even bre

    {Dominic}All I could see around me was darkness. It wrapped around me like chains, heavy and endless, as if I had been dropped into the heart of a void with no beginning and no end. My body didn’t exist here, my breath had vanished, and all that remained was thick, suffocating silence.I had almost grown accustomed to it. The strange stillness pressed against me, whispering that maybe this was what peace felt like—cold, hollow, eternal. I thought of my sister, of Ryker’s grin, of Lyra’s stubborn fire, and a brutal acceptance settled into me. Maybe I wouldn’t crawl out of this one. Maybe this was where Dominic Bloodhound’s story ended.But then, something seared through the void, tearing cracks into the nothingness. My head snapped up—or maybe it only felt like it. A glow drifted in the distance, faint at first, but then it slowly began to grow. It was pure gold, and at the same time, pure black. The best way to describe it would be light and shadow fused into one orb, swirling like t

    {Lyra}Snow swallowed our footsteps as Kael dragged Dominic through the trees, my boots sinking into drifts with every stumbling stride. My breath tore in and out of my lungs, sharp and ragged, but I kept my hands glowing, weaving faint bursts of golden light across our path. Dominic’s body hung between us, heavier than stone, while his weight pulled at Kael’s shoulder. His chest rose only shallowly, each breath whistling like broken glass. A thunderclap split the air. Fire and shadow clashed somewhere behind us, bright flares searing the horizon in violent bursts as Grimhold held Ryker back.My head whipped back. The fortress ridge blazed with unnatural light, silhouettes of the two monsters locked in a battle that shook the night sky. For a split second, I forgot the pain in my lungs, and the frost clawing at my cheeks. I wanted to run back, to help him, to throw my light against Ryker’s shadow.“Don’t.” Kael’s voice snapped, pulling me back as his eyes cut to mine. “Focus on him
