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, his tone smooth, too even. It was the kind of calm that warned you of a storm rather than promised peace.

Soren’s voice came out cold. “It’s none of your business.”

Ephraim’s smirk widened slightly. “Everything concerning my son’s behavior is my business.”

I glanced between them, my stomach knotting. The air felt heavy, and I could almost see the invisible line of power pulling tight between father and son. I hated it—this coldness, this invisible battle that seemed to exist between them. Soren loo

    Kahlan's POV Soren said it for the millionth time.“You’ll hurt yourself.”I ignored him.The dummy in front of me was already leaning crooked, its head barely attached, straw spilling out where my fists had split the stitching. My knuckles burned. My chest burned worse. I drove my elbow into its torso again anyway.“Well pardon me for being frustrated,” I shot back, not even looking at him. “Its not like Freya said someone is trying to get into my head.”I twisted, kicked the dummy square in the ribs, and felt something tear.“Even if no one will say it out loud,” I continued, breath sharp, “magic like that can only be done by two people. Ava. And the council witch.”Soren didn’t interrupt. That only fueled me.“Sasha’s mother,” I added. “Who works for the man who wants me dead...AkA Ramsey "The frustration boiled over. I planted my foot and kicked hard.The dummy’s head snapped clean off and rolled across the floor.Silence followed.I straightened slowly and wiped sweat off my br

  • The Alpha's dragon Flame    One Hundred and Sixteen

    Kahlan's PovI woke up already tired.It wasn't the kind of weariness that came from a simple lack of sleep or a long day of exertion, but the kind that lived deep in my bones—heavy, stagnant, and unmoving. My eyes opened slowly, blinking against a light that felt far too harsh, and for a long moment, I didn’t know where I was. The ceiling above me looked unfamiliar; it was too white, too clean, and lacked the comforting shadows of my own room.Suddenly, fire flashed behind my eyes.I sucked in a sharp, jagged breath, my fingers curling into the sheets until my knuckles turned white. “Kahlan?”Freya’s voice cut through the mental fog like a blade. I blinked and focused, forcing myself to truly look until her face came into view. She was sitting beside the bed, her eyes rimmed with dark, weary shadows and her shoulders held with a brittle tension. She looked like she hadn’t slept in days, her usual composure fraying at the edges.On the other side of the room, Soren stood near the

  • The Alpha's dragon Flame    One Hundred and Fifteen

    SorenI knew something was terribly wrong the very moment Freya started running toward me at full speed.The girl was seriously bad at cardio.“Soren!” she shouted, breathless from the sprint, her hair half loose and her eyes wide with unadulterated panic.My chest tightened instantly, a knot of pure dread forming, before she even reached me.“What happened? Tell me,” I demanded, grasping her shoulders.“It’s Kahlan,” she said, grabbing my arm and nearly dragging me to move. “Something’s profoundly wrong with her. She’s not responding.”My heart dropped to my stomach in a single, agonizing thump.“What do you mean wrong?” I demanded, already moving forward. “Where is she right now?”“She’s been staying in her room” Freya said quickly, spitting out the words as we started moving. “For three days straight. She barely spoke, she's barely eaten or slept. I stupidly thought she just needed time alone given her condition.”“And what happened then?” I pressed, matching her urgent pace.“This

  • The Alpha's dragon Flame    One Hundred and Fourteen

    Freya's POVI woke up with a strange, unsettling feeling that the room was too quiet.Not peacefully quiet. Empty quiet.Normally Kahlan shifted in her sleep, muttered under her breath, or paced restlessly when the nightmares came to her.There was always some sound of her presence. This morning, however, there was nothing but the heavy, unnatural silence.I sat up slowly and looked toward the other side of the room, my heart already beginning to pound.Kahlan was already awake.She sat motionless on the edge of the bed, her back impossibly straight, her hands resting loosely in her lap.Her hair hung around her face, completely untouched and unmoving.She wasn’t moving, breathing, or even twitching.“Kahlan?” I said softly, instantly worried by her stillness.No response.At first, I told myself she was simply ignoring me in a new fit of grief-induced withdrawal.Grief often does that to people, I reasoned. It wraps them up so tightly that they forget the rest of the world and the

  • The Alpha's dragon Flame    One Hundred and Thirteen

    Author's POVKahlan walked fast.Not running—but close enough that anyone watching could tell she was trying to outrun something inside her.Her boots struck the stone corridor in sharp, uneven beats. Each step sent a dull ache up her legs, a reminder of the power she had unleashed moments ago and barely managed to contain. Her hands were still trembling, fingers curling and uncurling as if they didn’t quite belong to her anymore.She didn’t look back.She knew Soren was behind her.She could feel him the way she felt heat before fire—steady, inevitable, impossible to ignore.“Kahlan.”His voice echoed off the stone walls.She didn’t slow.“Kahlan, wait.”She turned the corner sharply, intending to put distance between them, but he was faster. A blur of motion, a solid presence—and suddenly she was pressed back against the cold stone wall, his arms braced on either side of her, blocking her escape without actually touching her.The sudden stop knocked the air from her lungs.Her back

  • The Alpha's dragon Flame    One Hundred and Twelve

    Soren's Pov Bind Her? Taking her away... how could they even think about that The meet I banged the door behind me and it didn't take a minute for it to open again ...I didn't need to check who it was ... Dylan. "would you at least wait ..." He called out and I stopped walking just to face him, he was at a bit of a distance with his jaw tight and his eyes sharp—too sharp. This wasn’t the usual friendly concern I sometimes saw from him. The look he gave me was purely that of the beta I had trained with, the one who carried the pack’s absolute loyalty in his veins and prioritized its survival above all else. “We need to talk,” he said, his voice clipped and offering no room for pleasantries. “I know,” I replied, trying to keep my tone steady despite the sudden spike of adrenaline. “That’s why you clearly followed me out” He crossed his arms, settling his weight against the wall. His eyes, the color of storm clouds, bore into mine with palpable disapproval. “You’re losing
