Cole felt Lila trembling before he even saw her eyes. Something inside her had cracked open—something raw and terrified. He pulled her closer, steadying her breath with his own.

“Lila,” he whispered, “what did you see?”

She tried to answer, but the words tangled in her throat. Jade watched her quietly, her expression no longer triumphant—now wary, almost… unsettled.

The forest around them remained deathly still, like even the air was listening.

Finally, Lila found her voice.

“It wasn’t Seraphina,” she said. “Not the way we were told.”

Jade stiffened. Cole’s grip tightened.

Lila swallowed hard. “The council—the ones who claimed to protect balance—they destroyed it. They forced light to dominate the shadow. They ripped the twins apart. Seraphina wasn’t evil—she was cornered.”

Jade’s eyes widened. “That’s not possible. The council served the Light Order. They were guardians.”

“They were tyrants,” Lila whispered. “And they’re not gone.”

A cold wind brushed Cole’s neck, making the hair sta

    The cold that lingered after the Void Queen’s departure seeped deeper than any mountain chill. Cole knelt beside his father, whose breathing was shallow but steady, while Elara limped over to tend to him, her healing light glowing faintly in her palms. Lila stood watch at the edge of the valley, her eyes fixed on the spot where the dark figures had vanished, her jaw set. “He’s stable,” Elara said, wiping sweat from her brow. “But the shadow left its mark. It’ll take time for him to fully recover—and even then… I don’t know if he’ll be the same.” Cole nodded, his gaze drifting to the Blade of Annihilation, which lay inert in the dust. It no longer hummed with darkness, but its black surface still seemed to drink in the light. Jade walked over and kicked it gently with her boot, a look of disgust on her face. “We should destroy it,” she said. “Before someone else finds it.” “Can we?” Lila asked, turning from the valley. “It’s forged from

  • The Alpha's concubine mate    Chapter Ninety Four: The Shadow's Return.

    The Blade of Annihilation’s shadow fell over Cole like a shroud, and for the first time in his life as the Balance Keeper, fear seized him. Not the hot, sharp fear of betrayal or death—but a cold, deep dread that settled in his bones, because the man standing before him was not just a stranger in his father’s form. It was him—the same hands that had taught Cole to wield shadow, the same voice that had told him bedtime stories by the fire. “Father?” Cole whispered, his power flickering for a moment as confusion warred with his resolve. Jade pulled away from him, her eyes wide with terror, while Lila scrambled to her feet, her own light flaring to life despite the exhaustion that wracked her body. His father’s lips curved into a bitter smile, the skull on his sword’s hilt seeming to grin in unison. “You called me that once, didn’t you? Before you let me die. Before you took the title that was never meant to be yours.” Cole’s heart lurches. “I d

    The agonizing sting of betrayal ripped through Cole’s senses, eclipsing the grief and rage that had fueled his charge up the jagged slopes of Mount Aethel. The world swam before his eyes—vibrant energies of shadow and light blurring into a chaotic mess of pain as the dagger’s hilt pressed against his back. Jade’s whispered apology, devoid of warmth or remorse, echoed in his ears like a death knell, a chilling testament to the darkness that had consumed the woman he’d once called his sister in arms. “Jade?” Cole gasped, his voice a strangled whisper that was swallowed by the howling wind. He stumbled forward, his fingers scraping at the air as he tried to grasp the blade protruding from his torso. But his limbs felt heavy, unresponsive, as if his very life force was seeping into the parched earth beneath his feet. The dark fluid coating the dagger’s edge wasn’t poison—it was something far worse: the essence of the Void, a substance that fed on hope and drained so

    The agonizing sting of betrayal ripped through Cole's senses, eclipsing the grief and rage that had fueled his charge. The world swam before his eyes, the vibrant energies of shadow and light blurring into a chaotic mess of pain. Jade's whispered apology, devoid of warmth or remorse, echoed in his ears, a chilling testament to the darkness that had consumed her. "Jade?" Cole gasped, his voice a strangled whisper. He stumbled forward, his hand reaching back to grasp the hilt of the dagger protruding from his back. But his limbs felt heavy, unresponsive, as if his very life force was draining away. Seraphina laughed, her voice a triumphant shriek that resonated through the valley. "Foolish boy," she taunted. "Did you really think you could defeat me? I have been planning this for centuries. Every move you made, every decision you took, was orchestrated by me." She gestured towards Jade, her eyes gleaming with an unholy light. "Jade was always m

    The revelation that Lila, seemingly recovered and wielding a weapon of pure light, was still under Seraphina's control slammed into Cole like a physical force. Hope, which had flickered briefly in his chest, was cruelly extinguished, replaced by a despair so profound it threatened to consume him. The image of Lila, her eyes vacant and devoid of the warmth he knew so well, poised to strike with a weapon that could obliterate them all, was a nightmare made real."Lila, no!" Cole cried, his voice cracking with anguish. He took a step towards her, his hand outstretched, desperate to reach her, to break through Seraphina's control. "Please, Lila, fight it! You're stronger than this!"But Lila remained unresponsive, her gaze fixed on Cole, her expression blank. Seraphina chuckled, her voice echoing through the valley, a cruel and mocking sound."Foolish boy," she taunted. "Did you really think you could save her? Lila is mine now, body and soul. She will do as I command, without hesitation,

  • The Alpha's concubine mate    Chapter Ninety: The Keeper's Sacrifice.

    The sight of the Shadow Keeper, his face etched with a grief that mirrored Cole's own, intercepting Elara's attack sent a shockwave through the clearing. The air crackled with tension, the moonlight casting long, distorted shadows that danced like specters of the past. The Keeper's words, laced with a heartbreaking resignation, hung heavy in the air, a prelude to a tragedy that seemed destined to unfold. "Father, no!" Cole cried, his voice raw with anguish. He struggled to his feet, ignoring the pain that coursed through his body, desperate to prevent the inevitable. "Don't do this! There has to be another way!" The Keeper didn't turn, his gaze fixed on Elara, his stance resolute. "There is no other way, Cole," he said, his voice firm but laced with sorrow. "Seraphina's corruption has taken root too deeply. Elara is beyond saving." He raised the sword, its dark fluid shimmering ominously in the moonlight. "I cannot allow her to be used as a w
