Kahlan's POV

The sky was just starting to lighten, soft streaks of pink and coral breaking through the fading navy night when Vermithor’s massive, powerful wings cut across the horizon. The cold wind whipped through my hair and clothes as we descended, the familiar, sprawling shape of the academy coming into daunting view.

My heart hammered a frantic rhythm against my ribs. What on earth was I supposed to tell them? That I had snuck into the forbidden woods in the dead of night, nearly been roasted alive by a territorial wolf, and somehow ended up bonding with the most intimidating, ancient dragon I’d ever laid eyes on?

Yeah. That would go over well.

Below us, the courtyard was already alive with morning movement—students heading to early classes, a few professors on the steps, security patrolling the main gates. A scene of perfectly normal, routine academy life.

Until they saw him.

The reaction was immediate, visceral. Screams broke out instantly, cutting through the crisp morning ai

    Ramsey's PovMy daughter.Even thinking about her makes my heart swell until it hurts.The sound of her laughter and the way her eyes light up when she’s genuinely happy are the only things that matter to me now.Power, alliances, and war mean nothing in comparison.I would burn the world to ash if it meant she would keep smiling.That truth settles heavy in my chest as I stare ahead, my lips curving without my permission.“You have a great smile on your face.”The voice comes from behind me, calm and knowing.I release a slow breath, the kind that carries a bone-deep exhaustion from too many sleepless nights and too many ugly decisions.I turn.Ephraim stands there, tall and broad-shouldered, his powerful build filling the doorway like a warning.His hair is styled neatly, streaked with grey that only sharpens his presence rather than dulling it.He looks every bit like Soren—the same sharp jaw and the same piercing eyes.And that is exactly why he hates his son.“I’m assuming that s

    KahlanIt took a minute for my vision to clear. Everything felt distant, muffled, like I was underwater. My eyelids felt heavy, glued shut by a exhaustion I couldn’t quite name.“Mom—stop. She’s awake. They let her go.”The voice reached me first, but it didn’t fully register. It sounded like it was coming from the end of a long tunnel. My head throbbed with a dull, rhythmic ache, and the world tilted precariously when I tried to focus on the flickering shadows above me.“Kay,” someone said, their voice cracking with an urgency that pulled me further toward the surface. “It’s me. Are you alright?”Hands touched my shoulders, firm but trembling, trying to help me sit up.“I’m supposed to be asking you that question,” I murmured hoarsely, my throat feeling like it had been scraped with glass. I blinked, forcing my eyes to stay open. “You look awful.”Freya froze for a second, a flicker of her usual spirit returning before she laughed weakly. Her face was deathly pale, the skin pulled

    Kahlan I wiped the sweat from my brow, my chest rising and falling in a rhythm that still felt off.Ramsey sat across from me, calm as ever, his eyes tracking my every movement like he could see straight into my body and mind.“I can’t get it,” I said, frustration thick in my voice. “Why exactly are you teaching me how to breathe? I breathe just fine.”Ramsey chuckled, the sound low and amused.“If you can control your breathing, you can run faster… be faster. If you can do that, you can slow the spread of poison, and if you ever exert yourself while trying to close the barrier, you can stay conscious just long enough for someone to find you—if you’re far away.”I raised an eyebrow.“Careful, or I’ll assume you’re trying to save my life,” I joked, the tension in my shoulders easing just slightly.“Would it be so bad if I was?”His voice was quiet, but there was a faint lightness to it—a happiness I hadn’t seen in him before.Not fully, not entirely, but it was there, shimmering benea

    Soren's POV.I didn’t even knock.I didn’t pause.I didn’t think about what I might see—or who I might have to fight.All I knew was her name, her scent, and how far I was willing to go to make them pay.“Their entire coven stays in one of the dorms… I set off the fire alarm and moved them here,” Freya said, voice steady as if we weren’t walking into hell itself.She didn’t flinch.Of course she wouldn’t.“And why can’t we just have Nyx burn down the building?” she added, tossing a glance over her shoulder.I didn’t answer immediately.I let my eyes scan the room, watching the way the shadows danced against the peeling wallpaper and the terrified huddle of women who thought they were untouchable.Windows cracked from the alarm’s chaos, witches frozen in confusion, their fingers twitching as they tried to find the thread of a spell that was already failing them.I let my lips curl faintly, savoring the way the air turned cold at my presence.“Now where’s the fear in that?” I said, rele

    Kahlan's POV I didn’t expect him to agree though.The moment the words left my mouth—*teach me to be that fast*—I half expected Ramsey to laugh it off with that condescending tilt of his head, or perhaps shut it down entirely with a reminder of my status as his prisoner. Instead, the mirth vanished, his smile faded into a flat line, and something sharp and calculating flickered behind his eyes.“You’re serious,” he said, his voice dropping into that low, academic register that demanded total honesty.“I don’t joke about survival,” I told him, my voice steady despite the adrenaline humming in my veins. “I’ve spent too much time being the one who's too slow to react. I’m done with it.”He studied me for a long moment, searching for a lie, before nodding once, a sharp, decisive movement.“Fine.”That single word should’ve scared me more than it did. It was an admission of a new dynamic, a shift from captive to protégé that felt like walking onto thin ice.~~~Training with Ramsey wasn’

    Kahlan's POV I stared at him while he hovered far too close to my throat, his fingers ghosting over my skin with a clinical detachment, like he was inspecting which fruit was the best in a market stalls.“You’re insane,” I said flatly, my voice barely a rasp against the quiet of the room. “Has anyone ever told you that? Or do they all just nod and hope you don't snap?”Ramsey didn’t even look offended; if anything, he looked preoccupied. He tilted my chin slightly, his thumb pressing just below my jawline as his eyes remained focused on the angry red marks on my neck.“I’m checking,” he said, his tone infuriatingly level. “I was hoping I didn’t strangle you too hard. It’s a delicate balance, restraint and necessity.”I snorted, the sound sharp and ugly. “Reassuring. I’ll be sure to put that on your testimonial.”If my hands and legs weren’t bound tight—the price I paid for my first very enthusiastic, very bloody attempt at stabbing him—I would have shoved a knife straight into his ne
