Clara and Bryce rushed to the cove, both clad in different states of shock and worry. The only difference was that as usual, Clara's face expressed little of her emotions, but it was obvious that she was shaken up.

“What happened to him?” Bryce asked, already lifting a very weak Zane to his feet. The king could stand, but it took a lot of effort from him.

I shook my head, heart still racing from the rush of fear that had filled me when Zane fell over after we had read the message from the stone platform. Zane's eyes had glowed, and then his whole body started shaking violently until he fell over.

By the time his body had calmed down, he mentioned that some parts of him felt strange, and moving his limbs felt difficult. He must have mind-linked Clara and Bryce shortly after, because it didn't take too long for them to find us.

I explained the whole ordeal to them and they both remained quiet, exchanging glances here and there.

    JaceThere was nothing more humbling that being confronted by the truth of your own mortality.My world was shrouded in darkness, but voices kept on penetrating the veil. A woman was crying, and a man barked orders, even though his own voice shook with tangible fear.“Please, save him!” The female voice came again, more high pitched than before. It struck a chord within me, and I realised that I knew the voice very well. “Don't let him die, please!” Warmth pressed against my face gently, and two quick drops of liquid fell on my cheeks.“You're not making things better with your loud whining, Carina. Just stay back and let the healers handle him,” said the man. Lucas. “You should go inside and stay there until you're less hysterical.”There was an uneasy silence for a short while before Carina responded. “Oh you can't fool me, Lucas. I know you're scared too. Scared that he'll die and leave your cowardly ass in charge.”“Shut up, Carina. What do you know? At least I can do something as

    AshleyJust as I'd thought, their faces were enough to send me spiraling down a pit of countless thoughts and imaginations. What if they didn't take me seriously? What if they heard my words and were disappointed? What if they didn't even allow mw to soeak before deciding that I wasn't worth their time?I rolled my shoulders and took a deep breath. Clara stood a little distance behind me, acting as both protector and support. She nodded her head a little to indicate that I could proceed.There were about three dozen people right outside the medical centre, clamouring to find out what was going on with Zane, and why no one was saying anything about the fact that he returned to the tribe all bruised and unconscious. But underneath all their questions, I could tell that many weren't really concerned. They just wanted to know if Zane was alive or dead.So I led with that. “He's alive,” I said, making my voice firm and loud. The murmuring reduced as people struggled to hear what I was sa

    Ashley I stepped back a little, shaking my head. “What? What are you talking about, Zane? A few people might trust me because of the fact that I've made tinctures and medicine that helped their family member, but it doesn't mean that they'd trust me enough to put their lives in my hands.”“Trust me, it does. Even if you don't quite believe it yet.” He held out his hand again, and I took it, if a little bit hesitantly. “The people don't know how deep the change that I've gone through is, and they can't find out just yet, or things will get seriously chaotic. We need to douse the sparks first to put them off.”Resigned, I nodded. “You're right. Clara just told me the state of things, and I can't believe that there were people actually hoping you didn't return just so that they could get power to rule the Tribe.”“The Tribe runs of competition. This harmony we have? It was born from countless years of iron-fisted leadership. I need you to do that for me, even if just for a short while,

    Ashley We had to lose Jace and Lucas somehow. They were hot on our heels, chasing as though there was no tomorrow. “Can we lose them?” I shouted into Zane's ear as we moved forward. Wind distrorted my perception of sound, making it even hard to hear myself, but I could clearly hear, and see, the two wolves chasing after us, powerful muscles flexing with every movement. I had thought that Zane's bigger size would have made him slower, but somehow, he managed to stay ahead, as though he weighed nothing. I'd never ridden a horse, but if I closed my eyes, I could imagine myself doing such.But that was not what I was supposed to be doing. We were racing against time, trying to return the Ignis Relic to its place of rest so that Zane's curse could be broken.As we rushed through the cave, I realised that it now appeared to have multiple twists and turns, unlike when I had initially gone through it. There had only been one path, a long winding path and seemed to be unending, with painted

    Ashley “Jace, stop this madness,” I shouted at him when he didn't budge from our path. No matter how much I had grown to dislike him, the part lf me that watched him grow up to the man he was now still didn't want him dead. I couldn't say the same for Lucas, though. He'd always been despicable.Jace unleashed his claws, growling as his form started to shift into a superior lupine form. Either he hadn't heard me, or he just didn't want to listen. Stubborn, as always, putting his own wants above anything else. I used to admire that about him, but seeing how ruthless he had become, that admiration had turned into disdain. My hands involuntarily want to my neck, touching the scars that he'd put there. A reminder that there was no ounce of care left in his heart for me—or that he had become caught up in his own quest for revenge that he didn't recognise anything else. Both of them were bad options. Lucas followed suit, shifting as well. “No,” I whispered to myself, not because of them,
