LOGINDorian's POV"Sera! Open your eyes!"The words tore from my throat as I caught her before she could hit the floor. Her body had gone completely limp, all strength draining from her in an instant. My heart pounded wildly while I lowered her carefully onto the bed, my hands trembling despite every effort to stay calm."Sera... please."I gently tapped her cheeks, hoping for any sign that she could still hear me. Nothing.The room had become unnaturally quiet, as though the strange light that had filled it moments earlier had stolen every sound along with it. Even the air felt different, thick and oppressive, pressing heavily against my lungs.Panic tightened around my chest.Only moments ago we had both been staring at those mysterious markings that had suddenly appeared across the bedroom wall. Neither of us had understood what they meant, but before either of us could react, Sera had simply collapsed.My thoughts raced through countless terrible possibilities.Had someone cursed her?
Dorian's POVThe evening after my unsettling meeting with Valthera should have been peaceful, but the weight of her words refused to leave my mind. Every sentence she had spoken echoed inside my head, twisting into darker possibilities with every passing hour. I had tried convincing myself that she was only manipulating me, that everything she claimed about Caden was another attempt to force my hand. Yet sleep came reluctantly, and when it finally did, it dragged me into a nightmare unlike anything I had ever experienced."Sera!" I shouted, my voice cracking as I sprinted toward the palace entrance. "Please stop!"Ahead of me, Sera was no longer herself.Her massive wolf form thundered across the courtyard, every stride shaking the stone beneath her paws. Guards rushed to intercept her, raising their weapons despite the terror written across their faces. They believed they could restrain her.They were wrong."Get out of her way!" I yelled desperately. "She'll kill you if you stay the
Dorian’s POV The night after his conversation with Valthera. “Sera…. Sera please. Don’t do this”, I screamed at the top of my voice as I ran towards the palace gate, staring at transformed Sera in front of me charging towards the guards that are trying to block her with a force that cannot be explained or maybe I don’t have the time to explain at the moment. “Move, she’s going to hurt you”, I screamed at the guards and they moved away from the palace gate when Sera was just a few meters away from them. “Good”, I muttered and slowed down for a while. Just a few minutes ago when Sera and I were having a conversation in the corridor that leads to the palace gate, her mood suddenly changed. “I feel uncomfortable Dorian”, she had said with her usual calm and controlled voice which turned to screams in a few minutes and later turned into growls and animalistic sounds as she transformed fully into a wolf right in front of me. “Mama”, a tiny voice called behind me and I turned to see Enzo
DORIAN'S POVSomething about Dr. Kade refused to sit right with me.It wasn't a sudden realization. It had crept into my thoughts little by little over the past several days, growing heavier every time I saw him until ignoring it was no longer possible.At first, I dismissed it.The kingdom had been under relentless pressure. Reports of strange illnesses were arriving from several territories, political unrest continued to spread through the palace, and the royal hospital had become busier than it had been in years. Patients filled every corridor, physicians barely had time to rest, and everyone seemed to be surviving on determination alone.Naturally, I assumed Kade was simply exhausted.Anyone would have been.But the more I watched him, the more that explanation fell apart.I had known Dr. Kade long enough to understand the kind of man he was.Medicine wasn't merely his profession.It was woven into the very fabric of who he was.Helping people gave him strength instead of taking i
ALPHA CADEN'S POVThe abandoned estate had long since become my sanctuary.Hidden deep within an overgrown forest where even hunters no longer ventured, the crumbling structure stood like the last memory of a forgotten kingdom. Moss covered the cracked stone walls, vines crawled through shattered windows, and the roof groaned whenever the wind swept across the trees. Most people believed this place was cursed. That belief suited me perfectly.Fear kept visitors away.Silence kept me alive.I stood beside the broken window, watching the thick forest sway beneath the evening breeze. Shadows stretched across the ground as the last traces of sunlight disappeared beyond the horizon. The wilderness had become familiar to me now. Every sound carried meaning.The rustling leaves.The distant cries of wolves.The snapping of old branches beneath wandering animals.Nothing escaped my attention.It was amusing, in a way.For months I had lived inside a prison cell, surrounded by walls and guarde
Dr. Kade's POVOnly a few months had passed since Alpha Caden arranged my release from prison, yet those months had changed my life more than the many years that came before them.When I first stepped into the Voss Palace, I believed fate had finally smiled upon me again. After losing my career, my reputation, and my freedom, I thought I had been given a second chance to become the doctor I had always dreamed of being.Caden appointed me as the chief physician of the palace hospital. The medical facility was unlike anything I had ever seen. It was fully equipped, well organized, and staffed with skilled professionals who respected my experience.For the first few weeks, I devoted myself completely to my work.I attended to injured guards, treated sick villagers, and performed surgeries that saved countless lives. Every patient who walked out of the hospital healthy reminded me why I had chosen medicine.For a while, I almost forgot everything I had endured inside that prison.Almost.
Dorian’s POV I was still with Sera trying to trace the reason of the explosion from the scent she can feel and sniff when a guard rushed into the damaged floor with uneven breaths and tight expression and something told me immediately that whatever will come with that expression won’t make the issu
Mila’s POV I got to the car park and drove wildly straight to the Voss palace. The file I received from Lena contained a video that shows my own father, Alpha Caden, killing the spy that tried kidnapping the twins a few months ago. I picked up my phone with one hand as I held the wheel with the ot
“Please don’t hang up.”That was all I managed before my throat closed completely.The bus station was half-empty — a janitor pushing a mop across the far end, fluorescent lights humming that specific frequency that made everything feel slightly unreal. My bags were piled at my feet. The dress was
“Goddess help me, so I don’t burn these lamb chops.” I murmured to myself as I yanked the pan off the heat just in time, while the smoke curled toward the ceiling.Three hours. I had been in this kitchen for three full hours — marinating, plating, second-guessing the table arrangement twice — and I
