I wanted to argue. I wanted to get up and join the hunt. But my body would not cooperate. The curse had drained me in ways I had not experienced since the soul sacrifice.

"Fine. I will rest. But only because I physically cannot do anything else right now."

"That is the smartest thing you have said in weeks."

Despite everything, I smiled weakly. "Do not get used to it. As soon as I can stand without collapsing, I am back in this fight."

"I would not expect anything less."

Over the next week, I slowly recovered. My healing abilities returned bit by bit. The damage from the curse faded. But I could still feel where the dark magic had invaded me. Like it had left a mark.

"Is this permanent?" I asked Serena when she came to check on me. "This feeling that something is wrong inside me?"

"The curse left scarring on your magical channels. Not physical scars but spiritual ones. They will fade with time but you will always be slightly more vulnerable to dark magic now. Lydia's curse was specifi

    The ritual started gently, almost deceptively so. I felt a small tug on my life force, like something was pulling energy from deep inside me. It was uncomfortable but not painful.Then the intensity increased.The gentle tug became a strong pull. My life force was flowing out of me in a steady stream, feeding the magical prison that held The Architects. I gasped as the sensation grew stronger, like I was being slowly drained of everything that made me alive.Beside me, Aurora was experiencing the same thing. Her hand gripped mine so tightly I thought my bones might break, but I held on because we needed to stay connected throughout the ritual.The First Born chanted in that language that hurt to hear, their voices weaving magic that surrounded us like chains. I could feel the prison strengthening, could sense The Architects raging against their bonds as the renewal reinforced what held them.One hour passed. The pain was constant now, a deep ache that radiated from my core to every ne

    "Five months since we last saw any sign of Lydia."I was sitting in my office at the healing center, going over security reports with Owen. The calendar on my wall showed a date I had been dreading for weeks. Tomorrow was the one year anniversary of the Montana assault, which meant tomorrow was also my second renewal."She could be anywhere," Owen said, his voice tight with frustration as he reviewed the same reports I had already read three times. "We have searched every abandoned Covenant facility within five hundred miles. Checked every lead. Interviewed every former Covenant member we could find. Nothing.""Maybe she really did give up," I suggested, though I did not believe it for a second. The note she had left on my desk haunted me, her elegant handwriting promising that The Covenant would rise again and I would be the first to fall.Owen looked at me with those amber eyes that saw right through my forced optimism. "You do not believe that any more than I do. She is planning so

    "You are just a child," I said, staring at Lydia in disbelief. "You cannot be more than twenty years old. How are you using Covenant magic?""I am twenty one. And I learned from the best teacher possible." Lydia's smile widened. "My father was Elder Mordecai. One of the thirteen you murdered."The room went cold. One of The Elders had a child. A child who survived the Montana assault. A child who wanted revenge."Your father was part of an organization that tortured thousands," Owen said, his voice hard. "He helped imprison supernatural beings. He served ancient gods who wanted to enslave reality. He deserved what happened to him.""He was my father!" Lydia's calm expression cracked, showing the rage underneath. "He raised me. Taught me. Prepared me to continue his work. And you killed him. You killed all of them. Destroyed everything The Covenant built over three thousand years.""We freed people. We stopped a tyranny. We saved lives." I took a step forward carefully. "Lydia, whateve

    We stared at each other across her desk. The tension between protection and independence. Between love and respect. It was a balance we had been struggling with since we mated."Owen, I love that you want to protect me. But I need you to also respect that I am capable of protecting myself. That I survived a war and multiple tortures and a soul sacrifice. I am not fragile.""I know you are not fragile. But you are precious. To me. To this coalition. To every supernatural being who needs a Healer Alpha. Losing you would be devastating in ways I cannot fully express."Mary stood up and walked around the desk to where I sat. She cupped my face in her hands and looked into my eyes."You are not going to lose me. Not to dark magic users. Not to Covenant remnants. Not to anything. I am too stubborn to die before we get our hundred years together. Remember?""One hundred years minimum. We have a deal.""Then trust me to survive. Trust me to fight. Trust me to be your equal partner in this rat

    Owen's POV"Three more cases were reported overnight. All within a hundred miles of coalition territory."Lucas stood in my office at coalition headquarters, his expression grim. I had been reviewing security reports when he arrived with the news. Six weeks had passed since the first Covenant curse appeared at Mary's healing center. Now we had fifteen confirmed cases."Any pattern to the targets?" I asked, studying the map on my wall where I had marked each incident with a red pin."Young supernatural beings. Ages fifteen to twenty five. All with some level of power or talent. It is like someone is deliberately targeting the next generation." Lucas pointed at the cluster of pins near coalition territory. "And they are getting bolder. Moving closer to our center of operations.""They want us to know they are here. They want us to be afraid." I stood up and walked to the map. "But why? What is the endgame? The Covenant wanted control. They wanted to reshape supernatural society. Is that
