Alex and Ronan stepped inside.Derek turned from the window, arms crossed, eyes sharp. “Finally.”“Sorry,” Ronan said. “Had to make sure no one followed.”Derek gave a stiff nod. “Close the door.”Once they were alone, he motioned for them to sit. He didn’t bother with formalities. “How’s Erynn?”Ronan’s face darkened. “Getting worse. She barely speaks now. Keeps whispering Samantha’s name. She thinks she’s still nearby.”Derek’s jaw tightened. “Then we have to act fast.”“That’s why we’re here,” Alex said. “What did you find?”Derek walked to the center of the room, voice low. “Cassius and Serene. I overheard them whispering yesterday, behind the main hall. They were hiding something. Sneaking around like they knew someone was watching.”Alex and Ronan exchanged glances.“I didn’t catch the full conversation,” Derek continued, “but I heard the word ‘game.’ And

The Outcast’s Fate Chapter 33. The Vision of the First Wolf
The forest shattered.The stars blinked out.Samantha was ripped from the vision like a bird torn from the sky. Her body slammed back into itself breathless, broken.She gasped, sitting upright in the small, firelit room, drenched in sweat, blood trickling from her nose. Her eyes were wide, unseeing at first, still lost in the silver woods. Her hands clawed at the floor, her voice caught in her throat.“No… no… NO!”Mira rushed to her side, grasping her shoulders. “Samantha, you’re safe. You’re here. You’re home.”But Samantha didn’t seem to hear. She clutched Mira’s shirt, sobbing, the weight of the shattered dream crushing down on her chest. “She was turning she was turning around! I almost saw her face!” Her voice cracked. “I almost saw my mother…”Mira held her close, heart aching. “You’ll see her again,” she said gently. “In time. These things don’t come all at once. The bloodline calls in pieces. Like waves. It’s never done with the first tide.”
The Outcast’s Fate Chapter 32. The Vision of the First Wolf
The smoke swirled thick around Samantha, curling like tendrils of ancient memory, wrapping around her arms, her throat, her heart.She could no longer feel the ground beneath her. No more the warmth of Mira’s fire or the cool breeze whispering through Hollowbrook’s woods. Everything faded until there was only darkness.Then light.Silver and cold, it shimmered through a forest drenched in moonlight. The trees stood tall and still, their bark like stone, their branches unmoving. The air hummed with something older than time itself.Samantha stood barefoot on a bed of moss, her breath white in the night air. A figure stood ahead cloaked, motionless, with her back turned.The shape was unmistakable.The same figure from her dreams. The same cloak of fire and shadow. But this time… closer.Samantha’s heart pounded.“Are you Malia?” she called out, voice trembling. “Do you know me?”The figure didn’t move.Samantha stepped forward, fists clenched.
The Outcast’s Fate Chapter 31. The Bloodline Call
The dream came again wilder this time.A silver forest bathed in moonlight. A woman cloaked in flame and shadow, eyes gleaming gold. Wolves circled Samantha, snarling, yet silent, as if waiting for her to speak. Behind them, the woman stood, unmoving, watching her with a gaze that tore through the veil of time.“Samantha,” the woman whispered in a voice both familiar and otherworldly. “Wake up.”Samantha jolted upright, drenched in sweat, the remnants of the dream clinging to her like thorns. Her breath came in shallow gasps. That face again. That same woman. That wolf. She was certain now it wasn’t just a nightmare. It was something else. A memory… or a call.She threw on her cloak and headed straight for Mira’s cottage.Mira was brewing herbs when Samantha burst in.“I need to talk to you. Please,” Samantha said, her voice shaking.Mira turned slowly. “Another dream?”Samantha nodded, gripping the edge of the table. “The same woman. The same wolves.
The Outcast’s Fate Chapter 30. The Howling Vision
The night had fallen thick over Hollowbrook, heavy with silence and a breeze that carried secrets. Mira and Samantha walked along the narrow path, returning from the sick woman’s hut. Samantha still felt the weight of what she had seen the man’s desperation, the unknown illness. The air was cooler now, brushing her skin like a whisper.As they neared Mira’s hut, Samantha paused. Something shimmered in the moonlight by the edge of the woods.“I’ll catch up,” she said, her voice low but steady.Mira raised a brow. “Don’t go too far, child.”Samantha nodded and walked toward the trees. That was when she heard it.A single birdcall.But it wasn’t ordinary. It rang sharp and hollow, like an echo inside a metal chamber. It pierced through her bones and tugged her deeper into the woods. The trees whispered as she passed, their limbs creaking like old voices muttering secrets.She followed the sound, weaving between trees until the birdcall stopped abruptly.

The Outcast’s Fate Chapter 28. Whispers and Forgotten Truth
Derek stood frozen behind the corridor wall, his heart pounding. He had only caught fragments of Cassius and Serene’s conversation, the tones low, urgent, conspiratorial were enough to ignite the alarms in his mind.By the time he stepped into the hall, they were gone.Gone but not unnoticed.He clenched his jaw. Something was off. Cassius had been so weird and distant lately, and now he was sneaking around with serene, whispering things he didn’t want anyone else to hear. Derek had no proof yet, but his instincts screamed betrayal.Turning on his heel, he called over one of the outer guards. “Send word to Ronan and Alex. Tell them I need to see them. Immediately. And tell them to come in secret.”The guard blinked, then nodded sharply before disappearing down the corridor.Derek’s fingers twitched toward the dagger on his belt. If Serene thought she could deceive him without consequence, she was wrong.He would be ready.Far away from the thickening
