View MoreLuciano’s POVThe instant her knees hit the gravel, my body reacted before my mind could catch up.The world narrowed to a single point, just her. Scarlett, crumpled like a broken bird, arms clutched around herself as if sheer will could keep her from shattering.Her trembling frame was a blade to my chest, carving deeper with every shallow breath she took.Antonio’s voice buzzed behind me, a faint hum of words I didn’t bother to process. My focus was locked on her, on the way the wind tore at her thin nightgown, exposing the fragile hollows of her collarbone.The crescent mark pulsed faintly there, a glowing ember against her pale, waxen skin. It was still hers. Still her. And that truth clawed at something primal inside me, something I’d buried long ago.“Scarlett,” I growled, my voice low, commanding. I
Scarlett’s POVDawn was…odd.Grey light bled through the thin curtains, painting shadows across my room in ghostly strips. I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my trembling hands resting on my thighs. They looked so foreign. Pale. Weak. Strange. My fingers curled slightly, as if testing whether they were truly mine.I pressed them to the crescent mark on my shoulder, feeling its faint warmth thrum under my skin. It pulsed softly, like a second heartbeat. Like it was alive. Like it was waiting for something.“Seraphina…” I whispered.The name tasted familiar and bitter, like burnt honey coating my tongue. My chest ached. I didn’t know why, but it felt like a truth I wasn’t ready to accept. A truth that would crack me open if I tried.I stood up slowly, my bare feet sinking into the plush rug before meeting the cold marble beyond. The chill grounded me, kept me tethered to the present as I drifted through the silent hallways, feeling half-asleep, half-awake. Like I was walking throu
LucianoThe sky bled grey over the eastern courtyard. It was a bit far from the manor, and here wolves disguised as humans did what they wanted. A thin drizzle fell, soaking into the training grounds and dampening the gravel into cold mud. I stood beneath the stone archway with my arms folded, watching some of the wolves spar. Each clash of blades rang through the courtyard, steel scraping steel, punctuated by sharp grunts of pain and frustration.They were getting sloppy.My wolf snarled inside me, restless. The shadows had been pulsing stronger each night, brushing against my wards like phantom claws, testing for weaknesses. And now, with Scarlett awakening, their hunger was growing.“Luciano.”Antonio’s voice cut through my thoughts like a blade. I didn’t turn as he approached, the scent of steel oil and cedar clinging to him.He handed me a rolled parchment, sealed with red wax. Blood stained the corner, smudging the crest.“They struck another outpost,” he said quietly.I broke th
Scarlett’s POVI didn’t understand what he said, but I didn’t get another chance to do so after he walked away, his cloak flowing like a royal garment worn by ruthless kings.For another weird reason, I liked it.The next morning, I decided I was done lying in bed. My bones were stiff, my head felt heavy with questions I couldn’t answer, and honestly… I was tired of staring at those damn curtains all day.So I dragged myself out of my room after breakfast.Rosa had tried to stop me. She’d fussed, gently smacking my shoulder with a dishtowel.“Letty, you must rest. I don’t want the boss to see you like this,” she scolded.But I just smiled tiredly at her and slipped out before she could scold me further. The marble floors were cool under my feet, grounding me with each quiet step. My fingers brushed along the walls as I walked, feeling the small ridges where ancient stones met polished newer ones. It was like walking through someone’s memories.Maybe mine.Maybe not.I didn’t care.I j
Killian’s POVThe dagger felt cold against my thumb as I pressed it to the pad, letting its honed edge bite just enough to draw a thin bead of blood. I watched it glisten in the grey dawn light seeping through the war room windows.Outside, the forest lay silent, veiled in a heavy mist. Birds had ye
Scarlett's POVI woke up to soft footsteps in the room. For a moment, I panicked, my eyes flying open, but the harsh early light made them water. I blinked away the blur until my vision cleared.Savannah stood by the wind
Luciano’s POVI could still hear her scream.It echoed in my mind, scraping against my skull like rusted blades. Every part of me – my bones, my blood, my wolf – demanded I turn around, march back into that room, and pull her trembling body against mine until the terror faded from her eyes.But I d
Scarlett’s POVEverything felt heavy.My body… my mind… even my breath.I floated somewhere between sleep and wakefulness, trapped in this suffocating dark. Voices echoed around me, muffled and distan
