Elena's POV

The door closed behind Mira with a soft click that sounded like a prison lock sliding into place.

Kieran stood in the center of my chambers, filling the space with his presence in a way that made the enormous room feel suddenly small. He wore black as always, but tonight the clothing seemed more deliberate. The shirt was partially unlaced at the throat, revealing the strong column of his neck and the edge of a tattoo I had never noticed before. His hair was loose around his shoulder

    Elena povTwo Days LaterThe training grounds had become my second bedroom. Each morning, Kieran forces me to wake up, before dawn. Something about the mind being clear and at its peak in the early hours. A psychology he had maintained throughout the two days that felt like he'll to me.As if I was not suffering enough, I am.made to train in front of the crowd, who wouldn't stop jarring anytime I miss a swing or stumble on my feet.The first day had been the worst of them all, ranging from my loss of control, and the destroyed dummy, a testament to the raw power I still couldn't even begin to figure out. The crowd had left buzzing with excitement while I returned to my chambers feeling like a circus animal on display.The second day had been worse. Word had spread throughout the capital and beyond. What started as hundreds became over a thousand spectators, cramming into the arena to witness the Avatar candidate and her sister prepare for their deadly confrontation. Street vendors h

    Chapter 138: the reveal 2Elena pov“What happened to the child?”"there are rumors... Whispers that Amara managed to get the child out somehow, sent it away with trusted allies before the final battle. But King Theron searched for years and has not found anything." Kieran paused, looking at me. "It destroyed him. He lost his sister, his brother-in-law, and his nephew or niece all in one night. The guilt and grief nearly killed him.""So he banned magic," I said slowly, pieces clicking together. "Made it illegal in the whole kingdom."“Wait, does that mean the other?…”“Yes” kirean "He thought he was protecting what remained of his people. If there was no magic, no old prophecy to foretell an impending doom, then the other kingdoms would have no reason to fear and attack us." “But it didn't work, did it?”Kieran laughed bitterly. “The new system just made us weaker. The other kingdoms kept their Avatars, and their magic. They grew stronger while we stagnated. And the Avatar Ball...

    Chapter 137: the revealElena povKieran led me through winding corridors, his hand never leaving mine. Guards stepped aside hastily at his approach, their eyes widening when they saw my face—probably already bruising from Father's slap.We ended up in what appeared to be a private study, richly appointed but clearly meant for actual work rather than show. Kieran closed and locked the door, then guided me to a chair."Sit," he commanded gently.I sat, suddenly aware of how much I was trembling. Exhaustion, shock, and delayed reaction to everything that had happened crashed over me in waves.Kieran disappeared into an adjoining room and returned with a wet cloth and a small jar of healing salve. He knelt in front of me… not caring about anything, and carefully tilted my face toward the light,"You don't need to, I will heal soon.” I tried to stop him.“Let me take care of you Elena, I was not able to take care of my mate. This is the least I could do.”“It's not your fault” I held his

    Chapter 136: family dramaElena povShocking silence fell over the courtyard, after my sister's challenge.“The Sacred Duel is an ancient challenge, rarely invoked, but still technically legal in any contest. A way for any wolf to challenge another's right to a position or title. It was usually reserved for disputes within packs, for challenges to Alpha status. But there was precedent for using it to contest the results of the Summit Trials.” The Oracle explained for the sake of those that didn't understand. King Theron's expression darkened. "Elise Rashford, do you understand what you are invoking? A Sacred Duel is fought to submission or death. There is no forfeit, no mercy. One of you will leave the arena victorious. The other may not leave at all.""I understand," Elise said, her voice steady despite the wildness in her eyes. "And I accept those terms. Do you, sister? Or will you hide behind your unnatural gifts rather than face me honestly?"Every eye in the courtyard turned to

    Chapter 135: The ancient challengeThe Master hurried forward with several healers in tow, checking each candidate's patients systematically. They examined vital signs, tested reflexes, measured the progress of recovery.When they reached my station, I saw the lead healer's eyes widen. He checked again, as if not believing his own assessment. Then he turned to King Theron and bowed."Your Majesty, all of Candidate Rashford's patients show significant improvement. Their symptoms are receding, and their vital signs are stabilizing." He paused, clearly struggling with what he was about to say. "Given the insufficient dosage she administered, this should not be possible through medical means alone.""Yet here we are," the King said dryly. His eyes found mine across the distance, I saw something flash there. "Elena Rashford, approach."My legs barely supported me as I walked forward, every eye in the courtyard following my movement. I could feel the weight of their stares, the judgment and

    Chapter 134: end of the challenge Elena povThe healing arena was a circular space in the courtyard's center that was divided into four sections by thick walls that was definitely sound proof.. Each candidate would work in isolation, unable to see or interfere with the others' treatments.The three warriors had been moved into each section, all showing identical symptoms… sweating profusely, skin pale as death, breathing shallow and labored. Shadow Fever, or at least a poison that mimicked it perfectly.My heart clenched as I entered my section and tried to recognize at least one of them, but I had no luck. They were strangers to me, but they were still human beings. lives depending on my choices.A middle-aged woman with kind eyes despite her pallor. And two men grizzled veterans whose scarred hands suggested decades of service."You have one hour," the Master of Ceremonies announced, his voice carrying over everybody else.
