Alina's POV

I froze.

The woman standing across from us had the exact bone structure as Mira—sharp cheekbones, that cold glint in her eyes—but there was something else, something twisted. Her aura wasn’t mortal. It wasn’t even just werewolf. It radiated with the same sickening pull I’d felt from the Voidborn on the battlefield. And her voice… it echoed in the chamber like it didn’t quite belong to this realm.

“Mira?” I said, but the name felt wrong. She looked like Mira—but it wasn’t her.

The woman stepped closer, her black cloak dragging behind her like smoke clinging to stone. Her boots made no sound, even as she stepped over debris and ancient runes.

“I was once Mira,” she said, her voice calm. “But she died. And what rose in her place... is what the Void offered me in return for betrayal. Power.”

Damien stepped in front of me instinctively, his hand out, ready to shift. Quinton came up on my other side, his face pale, his arm still bandaged under his armor but ready for

    Chapter 68Damien's POVHer hand was there. I felt it. Warm. Alive. Reaching through the Veil like a sunbeam through storm clouds.But then it vanished.The rift snapped shut, and the pulse of magic backfired so violently that the Seer collapsed beside me, blood dripping from her nose. I caught her before she hit the ground, but my eyes never left the place where the Veil had opened.She was alive. I knew it now. But she was trapped.“Open it again,” I said urgently, shaking the Seer. “You saw her—she was right there! Just do it again!”The Seer coughed weakly, eyes fluttering open. “The magic… it burned too much power. I can’t open it again, not without a sacrifice.”“Then take mine.”She blinked slowly, dazed. “It doesn’t work like that. The Veil doesn’t just open with strength. It needs balance. Something that belongs to her… something tethered to her essence. A key.”My chest tightened. “What kind of key?”The Seer lifted her hand shakily and pointed to the Queen’s Fang, which lay

    Chapter 67Alina's POVCold.It was the first thing I felt.Not the kind of cold that numbed the skin—but a deeper, soul-level chill. Like being submerged in water where time stood still. No air, no sound, no life. Only emptiness.I opened my eyes and found myself floating—not on land or sky, but in a gray expanse of nothing. Endless. A void without direction. No wind. No gravity. Just… drifting.My body felt whole, but it was weightless. My heartbeat was gone. The Queen’s Fang wasn’t in my hand. The circle, the battle, Damien, Mira… all gone. All silent.“Where am I?” My voice barely echoed. Like it didn’t belong here.I looked down, half-expecting to see a wound in my chest where my soul had been torn apart—but there was nothing. My hands looked like mine. My skin was pale, but unmarred. I touched my face. It was warm.But I wasn’t alive. I could feel it in the hollowness behind my ribcage.This was the in-between. The Veil.The place souls passed through on their way to the afterli

    Chapter 66Damien's POVThe moment Alina raised the Queen’s Fang and whispered her decision to sacrifice herself, my world tilted.“No,” I growled, stepping forward, my voice full of thunder and desperation. “You’re not doing this. There has to be another way.”She didn’t even look at me—her eyes were locked on the Seer, who was now weaving something powerful, ancient, and terrifying in the air between her glowing hands. I could see the lines of magic unraveling from Alina’s body like threads of silver light, flowing into the Seer’s spell circle.Alina turned, finally, and her eyes softened. “Damien,” she said quietly, “you have to let me do this.”“I won’t,” I said, my fists clenched. “I didn’t come this far just to lose you again. I’m the Alpha of this pack. I should be the one—”“You’re the one they need to lead,” she cut in sharply. “If I die, the pack lives. If you die… we’re finished. All of us.”Mira screamed from the right as a root slammed her against a tree. She coughed bloo

    Chapter 65 Alina's POV The forest around us was no longer just a battlefield—it had become a warzone of magic and fury, the air thick with the scent of smoke and the cries of combatants. My muscles burned with exhaustion, but adrenaline pushed me forward. I couldn’t let myself falter. Not now. Not when everything was at stake. Damien stood beside me, his wolf form towering and fierce, eyes blazing with determination. His growls echoed like thunder as he fought off the endless tide of shadow beasts summoned by the First Heir. Yet despite his strength, even he was being pushed back, his powerful strikes meeting with relentless resistance. Mira’s energy flickered, exhaustion evident in her trembling hands as she continued to weave protective spells around us. The Seer’s chanting grew more urgent, her voice a fragile lifeline in the chaos. I glanced at her, hoping for a sign—anything—that we had a chance to turn the tide. Then, through the smoke and swirling shadows, a new sound pier

    Chapter 64Alina's POVThe figure’s gaze bore into me, cold and sharp as winter ice. His silver robe shimmered unnaturally, reflecting the blinding light that pulsed around him like a living thing. The forest seemed to hold its breath, the air thick with tension and the scent of burnt earth.Damien stepped forward, low growl rumbling in his chest. “Who are you? Show yourself.”The man’s lips curved into a cruel smile. “I am the First Heir. The one who forged the pact between our kind and the darkness centuries ago.”I swallowed hard. This was the name I’d heard whispered in old legends, the ancestor who had betrayed his own blood to gain power. The one who was supposed to be dead.“You’re not supposed to exist,” I said, voice steady despite the shock. “Your time ended long ago.”He laughed, a sound like cracking ice. “Time is a river, and I have merely returned to claim what was stolen from me.”Mira stirred beside me, eyes still heavy but alert. She gripped my arm weakly. “Alina… be

    Chapter 63Alina's POVMira’s scream shattered the silence, sharp and visceral. My heart thudded in my chest as I turned to her, her body convulsing violently on the stone ground, her mouth agape in a silent wail. Shadows—real, tangible—poured out of her chest like a broken dam, writhing and twisting in the air.Damien lunged forward to grab her, but the Seer threw out her arm to stop him.“Don’t touch her!” she yelled. “It’s inside her now. We can’t risk contact.”I stepped forward. “Then what do we do? Let it take her?”Mira’s body slammed backward into the altar’s crumbling remains, bones rattling and cracking beneath her weight. The shadows wrapped around her, cocooning her, dragging her body up into the air. Her limbs flailed as if fighting something unseen, but her face—her face was blank, her eyes glowing black.The Seer chanted again, ancient words that made the cavern tremble. Symbols lit up beneath our feet, carved deep into the stone—wards we hadn’t seen before now reacting

    Chapter 62Damien's POVThe silence after Viktor’s death was a strange one. It didn’t feel victorious or relieving—it felt like the eye of a storm, like something far worse was waiting beneath the surface.Alina was quiet beside me, her fingers still stained with his blood. I could feel the weight in her stare as she looked at the Seer.“You said there’s a deeper altar,” she said.The Seer nodded. “Yes. Buried beneath the Hollow’s remains. It was sealed centuries ago by the first guardians of the realm—before even your ancestors ruled, Alina. What you faced here… it was just a splinter. A fragment of the origin.”My gut tightened. “And what’s at the origin?”The Seer’s gaze didn’t flinch. “The source of all corruption. The thing that whispers into the minds of the cruel and desperate. The one even the Hollow fears.”Alina took a step toward her. “Then why the hell are we only hearing about this now?”“Because it was meant to stay forgotten,” the Seer said. “Until Viktor began to dig t

    Chapter 61Alina's POVI felt Damien’s arms tighten around me the moment Viktor’s scent hit the air. My heart lurched in my chest—not out of fear, but rage. Pure, unfiltered rage. I pushed myself off Damien, standing tall even though my legs still trembled from everything I’d just done.Viktor stepped out from the shadows like he owned the place.He looked almost unchanged—same smug grin, same piercing eyes that once tricked me into believing he loved me. But there was something different this time. Something darker in the way he moved, like he was no longer just a man. Like something older and fouler was riding inside him.“Well,” Viktor said casually, clapping his hands once. “That was quite the show.”Mira's body was still suspended mid-air, frozen in whatever stasis the Seer had placed her in. The chamber remained eerily silent except for the quiet sound of the Hollow's whispers, which hadn’t fully disappeared. I could feel them. Watching. Waiting.Damien took a step forward, his
