Chapter 61

Alina's POV

I 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.

  • The Heiress's Brutal Revenge   Alina's POV

    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 60Damien’s POVPain.That was the first thing I felt when my eyes fluttered open. It wasn’t physical—at least not in the usual way. It was deeper, like something had clawed into the space between my ribs and wrapped around my soul.I tried to move, but I couldn’t. My limbs were heavy, locked in place by invisible chains. The air around me was dense, thicker than any fog I’d ever encountered, humming with a sound that wasn’t sound at all. It was inside me, in my head, vibrating against my bones.And then I remembered—Mira.Alina.I forced my eyes open wider, struggling against the stasis Mira had thrown me into. The Hollowborn were everywhere, crawling across the walls and ceiling like twisted spiders, their eyes glowing with that horrible light. But I didn’t see Alina.Where was she?Theo was sprawled on the stone floor, barely breathing. The shield he’d tried to throw up had backfired, flinging him like a ragdoll. Blood was pooling beneath his shoulder, and his fingers twitc

    Chapter 59Alina's POVThe fall wasn’t graceful.It wasn’t one of those cinematic moments where we all land in heroic stances with our weapons drawn.We hit hard—stone, bone, and breath knocked from lungs. Dust exploded around me as I rolled and tried to orient myself, my hand still tightly wrapped around the hilt of the Queen’s Fang. My entire body screamed in protest, but my mind was already racing. Damien. Theo. Where were they?A cough cut through the dark.“D-Damien?” I called out, voice hoarse.Another cough, closer now. “Still alive. Barely.”I scrambled toward the voice and saw him, propped against a fallen column, a gash bleeding above his brow. Theo groaned a few feet away, his robe torn and streaked with black soot, but his chest was rising and falling.Relief flooded me, but only for a moment. Because where we were now…It wasn’t the ruins anymore.This place was older. Deeper.The air smelled like death and ash. The light was dim, pulsing faintly from glowing veins in the

    Chapter 58Damien's POVI was on my feet before I even processed what I was seeing.Children—no, not children. They wore the faces of children, their bodies frail and pale, but the way they moved… slow, synchronized, wrong. Like puppets dangling from invisible strings. Every step they took forward sent something primal through my blood, a warning that they didn’t belong in this world.Alina stood up beside me, hand gripping the hilt of the Queen’s Fang. Quinton and Theo flanked her immediately, forming a protective triangle around her, but all of us knew the truth: if these creatures were what I feared, we were outnumbered and outmatched.The boy at the front—the one who spoke—tilted his head slightly, like he was trying to understand our fear.“I don’t want to hurt you,” he said. “But I will. She has what belongs to the Hollow.”Theo’s voice was sharp. “You mean the Void?”The boy smiled.“No. The Hollow. Deeper than Void. Older.”Alina’s breath hitched. “What are you?”His eyes lock
