Kahlan 's POV

I hated this field, and especially now we could go at each other

Was this even legal?

Did they have police here? I should probably call 911, a constitution of state.

I pulled out my phone and dialed 9111. The screen glared back at me with useless numbers.

But I was pulled out of my thoughts when a loud thud hit the ground.

Across the packed circle of bodies, Soren had a boy pinned face-first in the dirt. His knee dug into the boy’s spine, and with one sharp movement, he slammed his opponent into the ground hard enough that I heard the air rush out of the boy’s lungs. The crack of impact echoed, followed by a groan that made my stomach twist.

“Get up,”

He stepped back, his face was a mask of indifference as the boy rolled onto his side, bruises already blooming purple across his jaw.

No one moved to help him.

No one even flinched.

But of course, what did I expect? This was normal here.

That realization burned hotter than the sun beating down on us.

    Kahlan's POV “We’re not going down there, Ethan,” Soren hissed. He was standing on the threshold of a space that smelled of ancient dust and some stupid sickly-sweet decay, a black brick beneath the innocuous flagstones of the old library annex.“It’s a secret exit,” Ethan countered, his posture impossible to tell in the dim light. “One they sealed off a century ago. Trust me, I only found it because—”Soren didn’t let him finish. A low, furious growl tore from his chest as he surged forward in anger. “We’ve been here for three hours!” Soren thundered, the sound echoing harshly off the stone walls. “And you lead us into a damn grave?”The fight was over before it even began. Soren’s fist, fueled by impatience and frustration, was fast. Ethan, fueled by a different kind of life, was faster. He sidestepped the blow with a terrifying, liquid ease, his hand catching Soren’s wrist.“It’s not me, Soren. Stop!” Ethan’s voice sounded low, with an edge of a panicked plea that didn't sound l

  • The Alpha's dragon Flame    Fifty

    Kahlan’s POVThe first scream tore through the air before I could even process what Vermithor had said.It came from the northern end of the training field, sharp and full of terror, followed by the unmistakable roar of a dragon. My heart dropped. I turned just in time to see one of the dragons thrash violently, flames bursting from its mouth in wild, uncontrolled waves.“Get it under control!” Ramsey shouted, his voice cutting through the chaos.But the rider didn’t respond. Instead, another student—his partner—cried out, “He’s gone! He’s—he’s in the fire!”I froze. The air was thick with heat and smoke, and before I could react, Vermithor’s voice thundered inside my mind.Run, Kahlan!“What—” I didn’t even finish before the world exploded in light.Soren’s arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me to the ground just as a stream of fire tore through the spot I’d been standing in. The ground shook beneath us, and I could smell the scorch of burnt grass and ash.“Are you okay?” he asked,

  • The Alpha's dragon Flame    Forty Nine

    Kahlan’s POVI woke up to the faint sound of steady breathing beside me. For a second, I froze, blinking at the unfamiliar ceiling before the memories of last night came rushing back. Soren.He was asleep, lying on his side, one arm tucked under the pillow, the other resting near where my head had been. His hair fell into his face, and for once, he looked peaceful—like all the fire and fury he carried around during the day had finally burned out.A smile tugged at my lips as I sat up slowly, careful not to wake him. I didn’t even remember falling asleep here. He must’ve carried me to his room after I dozed off. That thought alone made my stomach twist in a way that was both strange and wonderful.“You’re ridiculous,” I whispered under my breath, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear.Still smiling, I slipped out of bed and tiptoed across the room, gathering my things. The sun hadn’t fully risen yet, and the world outside the window was painted in soft shades of gold and grey.

    Soren’s POVSasha’s nails clawed at my wrist, but I didn’t loosen my grip. Not yet. She gasped, the doll tumbling from her fingers and landing on the floor between us, its threadbare body twisted unnaturally.“I said,” I growled, my voice low and shaking with barely restrained fury, “undo it.”“I did,” she rasped. “She’s fine.”The sight of that cursed little doll sent another surge of rage through me. I squeezed just enough for her breath to hitch. “If you ever do something like that again—if you so much as think about touching her—I won’t stop at this. Do you understand me?”Her eyes widened, and for a second, I thought she’d beg. Instead, she gave a strained little laugh. “You’re threatening me now? You don’t scare me, Soren. You never did.”I leaned closer until my face was inches from hers, my voice a quiet snarl. “I don’t want to hurt you, Sasha. But if you ever endanger her again, I will.”Her gaze flicked toward my mouth, to the faint gleam of fangs I didn’t bother hiding. “Yo

  • The Alpha's dragon Flame    Forty Seven

    Soren’s POVI had never been good at sharing what was mine. Or maybe it was just me being jealous. But jealousy isn’t supposed to feel like this—like fire crawling beneath your skin, waiting to burn everything in its path. But that’s exactly what it feels like every time Kahlan says his name.Ethan.She says it so casually, not knowing how it stabs me a little each time. Like the thought of him doesn’t already drive me insane.“I don’t know what’s going on with him,” she was saying, pacing slowly across my room. “He keeps showing up when I least expect it and then vanishes like he never existed. Sometimes I think I imagined him.”I leaned back against my desk, crossing my arms. “Maybe that’s for the best.”She frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?”“It means maybe you should stop thinking about him. He’s not exactly reliable, is he?”Her eyes narrowed. “That’s not fair. He’s helped me more times than I can count.”I clenched my jaw, fighting to keep my voice calm. “Yeah, well, h
