Kahlan’s POV

The tension in the room was so thick you could cut it with a knife.. Soren stood stiffly beside me, his jaw locked, his eyes burning with the kind of anger I’d never seen before—not even during our worst fights.

Across from him, his father looked entirely too calm, too in control, the faintest smirk tugging at the edge of his mouth, as if watching his son’s frustration was some kind of entertainment.

“Would someone care to explain exactly what is going on here?” Ephraim asked

  • The Alpha's dragon Flame    epilogue

    Kahlan – Two Months LaterPeace feels strange.Two months ago, the place was a warzone filled with ash and blood. Now it smells like cut grass and fresh paint. The limestone has been scrubbed clean. The broken walls have been rebuilt. The scorch marks in the plaza are still there if you look closely, but they don’t dominate the space anymore.The school stands whole again.And today, it feels alive.Students fill the courtyard—wolves, witches, vampires, humans—standing shoulder to shoulder without tension threading between them. No whispered suspicion. No hidden sigils carved into sleeves. No one flinching at the wrong scent.Just people.In the center of the grounds, where the worst of the fighting happened, stand two new statues.Derek and Ramsey.I missed them so much. They’re carved from pale stone, back to back, weapons lowered but not forgotten. The sculptor captured them perfectly. The plaques at their feet don’t list titles or ranks though. Just their names.I stand there l

  • The Alpha's dragon Flame    One hundred Ninety three

    Kahlan The ritual circle still smoked a little where the chalk had burned, the scent of scorched earth and spent magic hanging heavy in the stagnant air. The barrier was gone. There was no more shimmering glow, no more impenetrable wall of translucent light that had separated our world from the abyss. Just open land stretching into the distance. Soren lay in my arms, his body limp, a weight that felt far heavier than it should have if he was still here. His chest didn't move, remaining flat against the frantic pressure of my own heaving breaths. There was no heartbeat. I stared at his face—pale as winter marble, eyes closed as if in a sleep he had no intention of waking from—and the entire world narrowed down to just the curve of his jaw and the silence between us. He had given his life for mine, a conscious choice made in a heartbeat that felt like an eternity. He had stepped in, offered his own soul up to the hungry void of the siphoners, and now he was gone, leav

  • The Alpha's dragon Flame    One Hundred Ninety two

    SorenThere was no ground beneath me.No sky, no wind, no light and no darkness either. Just absence.I could not feel my body. I could not hear anything except my own thoughts. I did not breathe. I did not blink. There was no heartbeat in my chest. I understood it immediately.I was dead.The memory of the stone circle came back clearly. The carved symbols. The siphoners standing in position. The air thick with magic. Kahlan in the center.They were draining her.The Flame inside her was already unstable. It had always been heavy for her to carry. It exhausted her. It pushed against her mind. She never complained about it, but I saw what it did to her. I saw the nights she couldn’t sleep. I saw the way her hands trembled after using too much power. She carried it because she believed it was her duty.The plan had been simple in theory. She would drink the poison. It would force the Flame into a dormant state. Freya would extract it. Kahlan would survive. That was the promise.But the

  • The Alpha's dragon Flame    One Hundred Ninety one

    Third person POV The battlefield was surrounded by crumbling limestone. It was currently filled with over ten thousand warriors. Leading the center of the defensive wedge was Dylan. He was a mountain of scarred iron, his heavy plate armor coated in a thick layer of grey stone dust and dark red arterial spray. He carried a massive, two-handed poleaxe that he swung in horizontal arcs, clearing a three-meter semi-circle of space around him with every rotation.He had decided he would only shift when necessary. He needed to reserve his strength. "First Rank, brace!" Dylan’s voice was a guttural roar that bypassed the ears and vibrated in the chests of his soldiers.The front line—six hundred men deep—slammed their kite shields into the muck. The enemy, a surging wave of grey-clad conscripts and heavy shock troops, hit the shield wall with the force of a landslide. The sound was a singular, bone-shaking *thud* followed by the screech of metal grinding against metal. Dylan stepped into

  • The Alpha's dragon Flame    One Hundred and Ninety

    Authors POV The horns of Ephraim’s army blasted through the morning mist, a low, brassy dirge that vibrated in the marrow of the bones of everyone gathered at the barrier. Reports from the scouts were no longer coming in as whispers; they were shouted commands. The enemy was two hours away.In the clearing at the base of the glowing, opaque wall, the air was unnervingly still. Ava knelt in the dirt, her fingers stained white with chalk as she drew the massive ritual circle. Her movements were frantic but precise. She knew that if a single rune was misaligned, the siphoning would backfire and incinerate everyone within fifty yards.Baba stood over her, her gnarled hands gripping a staff. She didn't offer to help with the physical labor; her role was to anchor the intent. "The outer ring holds the drain, Ava," Baba said, her voice gravelly and thick with a suppressed tremor. "Inner points anchor Freya. Do not skip the binding sigils. If the Flame leaks, Freya dies before the barrier i

    Kahlan"For someone so young, you look at the sky a lot," Baba said.I glanced over at her. She was sitting on the stone bench beside me, her stick resting across her knees."For someone so old, you know a lot," I replied. "So how old exactly are you?""Do I look old to you?" she asked.I chuckled. "You look like you could outlive all of us."She smiled a little, but it didn't reach her eyes."I can't do it," I said quietly. "Sealing the barrier. The people on the other side... isn't there a spell to undo the damage?""There is," she said.Hope filled my chest so fast it hurt. "There is?""It's somewhere in a hidden temple, buried in a tomb. But we don't have the time."The hope left as quickly as it came. I stared at the ground. "Thanks for nothing, really. I don't know what to do."Baba hummed, thinking. Before I could sort through my thoughts, she swung her stick and hit me on the arm."What the hell?" I said, rubbing the spot."Does it matter?" she asked with a smile.She tried to

    Kahlan's POV "Promise me," Zephyr said, her voice dropping into a register that was quiet but held the weight of a mountain, "that you will never set foot on that shore . Promise me you won't even approach the perimeter of that island or fly within sight of its cliffs."I stared at her across the

    kahlan's POV "There's a camp?"Freya’s face softens instantly as the girl nods, that dangerous empathy of hers bubbling to the surface. "Over three hundred or more," the girl replied. Freya took a step forward, her hand reaching out to the girl, but Sasha moved faster. Sasha grabbed Freya’s arm

    Kahlan My entire life just shattered into a million jagged pieces in that single, frozen moment, the weight of the world collapsing onto my shoulders as I stood paralyzed outside the window.I held a trembling hand over my mouth, pressing my palm against my lips with bruising force to muffle the ja

    Kahlan's POV I push myself upright, blinking against a light that feels far too bright for my heavy eyelids. My first instinct isn’t fear. It’s the hollow, echoing sensation of absence. I reach for him without thinking, the way my mind has been trained to do since the moment we were tied togethe
