Senna’s POV

My eyes flew open.

Someone was invading our space. The sounds of breathing was thick in the air.

Bolting to an upright position, I reached for my bow. It was in my hands within seconds.

“Wake up,” I hissed to Thor. He was supposed to be on watch, but he must have fallen asleep.

He woke up immediately.

Three people in front of us froze.

I only recognized them from the first day at Kalev’s estate. One was a young girl with braids. One was an older girl, maybe in her twenties. And the

  • The Awakening of Slave   Chapter 70: The Tavern

    Senna’s POVThe tavern stood where the old supply depot used to be. I stopped at the edge of the street for a moment, taking it in. It hadn’t been here before.The structure was new. I noticed the new wood, the new supports. I could smell the fresh coat of paint. The windows were larger than most buildings in Sector 6. From the outside it looked like a really nice tavern. This had always been his dream, to open up a bar. He’d told me about it countless times.It was something we’d talked about doing together. It was the reason I was saving all my money. So I could help him fulfil his dreams.But by the looks of it, he’d come and done it without me. With my money. And with my best friend.I seethed.Kalev appeared beside me.“He’s in there?” Kalev asked in a low growl.“Yes,” I replied.“Then let’s go.” Kalev made a move to enter the tavern, but I stopped him. Kalev wanted to rip Kalen to shreds. I could feel his anger coming off of him. But I wanted to do this alone.This was my fight

  • The Awakening of Slave   Chapter 69: Sector 6

    Senna’s POVSector 6 looked smaller than I remembered. I noticed it at we approached.From the transport window, the familiar sprawl of uneven rooftops and narrow, dirt-packed streets stretched out in front of us. But it no longer felt endless. Was this really the place I’d grown up in? It felt like a lifetime had passed since I’d been taken from here and put on that bus with all the other participants.I wasn’t the same person anymore. No. I was stronger. More confident. And thanks to this victory tour, I had the eyes and ears of all the sectors. I could leverage that to do something important. Something meaningful.“It used to feel bigger,” I said to Kalev. He flashed me a sympathetic smile, but he didn’t say anything. What could he say? He couldn’t possibly understand the flurry of emotions inside of me as we approached my home.They had cleared a section near the central square had been marked off for the arrival. People had gathered to watch. Well, not just watch. They were there

  • The Awakening of Slave   Chapter 68: The Victory Tour Begins

    Senna’s POV“I’m not bringing him.” The refusal left my mouth. It came out sharper than I’d intended. So sharp that even the servants near the walls stiffened.Kalev didn’t react. His face remained gentle.“You are,” he said calmly.“No, I am not,” I replied firmly.“Yes, Senna, you are,” he replied.We stood across from each other in the center of the sitting room. Late afternoon light spilled through the windows.Our night of passion had changed things between us. I quivered whenever I thought about it. I’d given myself over to him in that bed.But we weren’t in bed right now. We were in the sitting room. And what happened in the bedroom stayed in the bedroom. In the light of day, we were just as we’d always been.And right now, there was tension between us.“This is my tour,” I said. “So it’s my choice.”“And you are my responsibility,” Kalev replied. His voice softened. He reached out brushed my cheek with his hand. “I am coming to protect you.”“I don’t need your protection,” I s

  • The Awakening of Slave   Chapter 67: Passion

    Senna’s POVLaying beside Kalev, I couldn’t sleep. I could hear him breathing beside me. I tossed and turned. The silk sheets were soft against my skin. A breeze blew in from the window. I knew I should try to sleep. But I just couldn’t. Verity paced inside of me. Orrin’s presence was keeping her up too.“I know you’re awake,” he said.His voice startled me. I’d thought he was asleep. I froze, not knowing what to say. For five nights we’d slept like this, side by side. I’d been careful to stick to my side of the bed. But truth be told, I hadn’t been sleeping well. Not with him beside me.The matebond was getting stronger by the day. Whenever I was near him, I could feel it throbbing inside of me. It was an aching, a desire that threatened to consume me whole.Lying there next to him, the heat from the bond pulsed between us. I swallowed hard. He was shirtless and I was painfully aware of his body next to mine.“You can feel it,” he said. “The matebond. Look at me.”I rolled over onto

  • The Awakening of Slave   Chapter 66: The Flicker

    Kalev’s POVViktor chose the location.The hunting grounds stretched along the northern edge of the Capital’s territory. They were a carefully maintained wilderness designed to feel dangerous without really being so. The trees stood tall and evenly spaced, while preserving the illusion of untouched land.The paths were subtle but deliberate. The nobility went there to hunt pretend they were surviving something wild. But even the animals here were controlled.Every animal was tracked. They were specially bred. They were released in calculated numbers to guarantee they could be hunted with certainty.It was all smoke and mirrors, although none of the nobility actually openly recognized this.“It’s been a while,” Viktor said as we stepped onto the main trail.The morning air was cool. It carried the sharp scent of pine and damp earth. Sunlight filtered through the trees in pale strips.“Yes,” I replied.Viktor had asked me to go hunting. I’d almost refused. But then I decided to go. Mayb

  • The Awakening of Slave   Chapter 65: Victor Privileges

    Senna’s POVThe paperwork arrived in a box. I was sitting at the dining room table nibbling on fresh fruit when the servant came in.It wasn’t a folder or a thin stack of documents tied neatly with ribbon. It was an actual box. It was large enough that the servant carrying it had to brace it both hands. He entered without meeting my eyes and set it carefully on the table in front of me.“Victor privileges,” he said stiffly. Then he left before I could answer.The door clicked shut behind him. I set down my fruit and stared at the box for a long time.It looked expensive. It was made out of dark polished wood with brass corners. The crest of the Capital carved neatly into the lid. Verity stirred uneasily beneath my skin.“I don’t like it,” she said.“I know,” I muttered.Slowly, I lifted the lid.Inside, the documents were arranged with care. They were separated into sections by thin dividers. Every page was crisp. Someone had spent a lot of time making this look clean. It was all very

  • The Awakening of Slave   Chapter 50: Landing

    Kalev’s POVI hated that they sedated her. They did it before I could interject. They just shoved a needle into her neck and within seconds, she collapsed.“She was hysterical,” one of the medics on the helicopter said. It was true. She had been. She’d been hyperventilating. They’d acted on instinc

  • The Awakening of Slave   Chapter 49: Extraction

    Senna’s POVI glared at Kalev. The horns didn’t stop. They kept echoing across the beach, piercing our ears. I struggled to process what had actually happened as the reality sunk in.My friends were going to live. That’s what I focused on. All of them. We were all getting out of here. I’d have to l

  • The Awakening of Slave   Chapter 48: Override

    Kalev’s POVI grabbed Senna’s wrist just in time. My voice had stopped everyone else mid-reach. Holding onto to Senna’ wrist, everyone whipped their heads at me.I had no idea what would happen if Senna touched that Spire. But my instincts told me it wouldn’t be good. Orrin agreed. Now that I knew

  • The Awakening of Slave   Chapter 46: The Race to the Spire

    Senna’s POVThe forest thinned long before we reached the beach. We knew the way since we’d done it several time. We’d stayed holed up in the safe place for two nights. As a result, Korrigan and I were a lot stronger.I did my best to mostly ignore Kalev during our time in the safe place. It was ha
