The Hallow Crown Chapter 13 The Blade's Edge (Kaela)
The mountains loomed tall, silent, and unforgiving as the storm raged around them. Snow stung my cheeks, and the cold bit through my layers, but it was nothing compared to the cold weight of the assassin’s pursuit. We were being hunted, not just by a blade, but by their own bloodlines, by the bond they could not escape.We travelled for hours, barely speaking, only the crunch of our footsteps and the howl of the wind filling the space between us. I could feel the tension in the air, the unspoken fear that clung to them both. The assassin was close. I knew it in the pit of my stomach. But I also knew that whatever came next, it would change everything.The fire we had kindled in each other during our time together burned bright, but it had become something more dangerous. Every glance they exchanged now seemed to carry more weight, every touch more charged with a hunger neither of them could deny.Aeryn’s presence beside me was both comfort and a constant reminder of the peril they fac
The Hallow Crown Chapter 12 – The Blade That Remembers (Kaela)
The moon was full again — its light cast upon the world with a clarity that seemed too pure, too perfect for the danger that lay ahead.We had been traveling for days, the weight of our shared secret pushing them deeper into the wilderness where no one could find them. The council’s verdict hung over them like a dark storm cloud, and the first assassin was already in motion. But, amid all the chaos, a new bond was forming between them one that had nothing to do with politics or prophecy. It was trust.I had never expected to feel this deeply for anyone, let alone someone like Aeryn someone who was both the product of a bloodline she’d spent her whole life raised to fear, and the only person she could imagine standing by her side in the trials ahead.As the evening stretched on, they camped near a remote cave beneath a jagged ridge. The wind howled outside, but the fire inside burned steadily and warm. The quiet between them was unlike any they’d shared before a soft, unspoken understa
The Hallow Crown Chapter 11 – The Reckoning Council (Aeryn)
The MessengerBefore dawn, a hawk found us.It wasn’t a wild one. Its leg bore a silver tag etched with the Frostfang crest. It landed near the fire, eyes sharp, unmoving until I approached. He removed the message with careful fingers.Kaela watched as his jaw tensed. “What does it say?” I handed it to her.The parchment bore only two lines, scrawled in a rushed, unfamiliar hand:"The council summoned early. Alliance broken. She knows."Beneath it, one symbol: the mark of the Myras Blades — elite spies of my clan. I looked at Kaela and her face was white as she said, “Your stepmother.”“She’s moved against the summit,” I said, voice flat. “And if she knows about us…”“She’ll twist it. Frame it as betrayal. Leverage it.”I rose; his body coiled like a wolf scenting blood. “We need to get back to Veyra. Now.”Kaela stood, already pulling her shirt over her head then her pants. “They’ll be watching the city gates.”“Then we don’t go through the gates.” I replied with a smirk, sharp and
The Hallow Crown Chapter 10 – The Gathering Storm (Kaela)
The winds had changed.By the time we emerged from the mountain’s hidden sanctum, the sky had darkened with storm clouds — not just weather, but a omen. The wolves that had howled in the distance two nights before were silent now. And that silence was worse.We didn’t speak for a long time, picking our way down the mountain pass in cloaks too thin for the cold and magic that still hummed under my skin. Each step away from the sanctum was like stepping back into a war we weren’t ready to name.It wasn’t until we made camp — a hollow beneath a stone overhang, hidden in the crags — that the words came.Aeryn struck the flint three times before the fire caught, his hands trembling only slightly. The bond still flared between us like a pulse, its rhythm uneven since the trial.I sat opposite him, knees drawn up beneath her cloak, my eyes on the fire. I was lost in thought about what I seen in the sanctum. He still hasn’t told me what he, I told him as we walked out of the tunnels. “You d
The Hallow Crown Chapter 9 – The First Trial
(Aeryn)I landed in silence.No wind. No sky. Just a cold, deeper than winter, bone-deep and sterile. The stone beneath my boots was familiar: Frostfang marble, cracked and rimed with ice. The training yard. Only... wrong.The compound was in ruins, buried beneath snow and broken columns. Red flags snapped in the wind, but no sigil marked them — only a burn, as if clan identity had been stripped by fire.“Aeryn.”The voice froze me. Low. Icy. Etched into my memory like old wounds.My father.I turned slowly.Alpha Cael, my father stood beneath the remains of the main hall arch, whole and hale, armor gleaming with frost-forged steel. But his eyes were hollow. Lifeless. Judging.“You were never meant to lead,” my father said.“You're dead,” I answered. “And I didn’t come back for your legacy.”“No,” his father replied. “You came back for her.”Kaela’s voice echoed behind him, distant “Aeryn” but when I turned, she wasn’t there. Only shadow.“She weakens you,” Cael said again, stepping c
The Hallow Crown Chapter 8 – The Path of Echoes (Kaela)
The mountain had a silence that was different now. It seemed to be listening.I stepped lightly over the sigils that had appeared with the morning frost — glyphs etched in moonlight across stone and snow, pulsing faintly beneath their boots. The disk in my hand grew warmer the deeper we went into the pass, as if recognizing the path from memory, not map.Aeryn walked beside me, quieter than usual, but steady. The fever had burned something out of him — or perhaps burned something into him. His magic felt sharper now. More alive. Like the bond had settled deeper than bone.By midday, the path led us to a narrow ravine split by an ancient staircase, half-buried in ice. It descended into the heart of the mountain — where no clan symbols marked the stone, and no histories claimed ownership.I paused at the threshold, hand braced against the worn archway above the stairs.“Do you feel that?” I murmured.Aeryn nodded once. “It’s like... memory. But not ours.”As we took the first step int
