Zylia’s POV

The next morning, everything felt wrong.

The air.

The silence.

Even the way the light touched the tents.

I didn’t see Mason when I stepped out, but I felt him, that quiet presence that made the space around me heavier.

The camp was awake, yet too still.

Everyone moved in careful steps, as if afraid to disturb something fragile.

I tied my hair back, trying to ignore the way my fingers shook.

The memory of last night, his voice, his warmth, wouldn’t stop replaying in my head.

Then be you. Not the Moon’s version. Yours.

I hated that those words still echoed. I hated that part of me believed them more.

Sometimes, when no one was watching, I caught myself reaching for the place his hand had touched mine, like my skin still remembered him.

It was maddening.

The pull between us wasn’t normal anymore; it was alive, dangerous… and I didn’t know if it belonged to me or the Moon.

Worse, it felt illegal.

Like it was against the rules.

Raven approached, holding two cups of water. “You

  • The prophecy’s reject   CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX: The Blood Trail

    Zylia’s POVDarkness pressed in like water, heavy and suffocating.For a moment, I thought I was still in the woods, still running, but then the sharp scent of smoke and pine hit me, and the faint warmth of a fire crept over my skin.Voices drifted in and out, distant at first.Then sharper.Angrier.“The one time I let you go with her…” Killian’s voice cut through the fog like a blade. Low. Dangerous.“I didn’t mean for it to happen!” Mason shot back. “You think I wanted this? There were Lycans out there, Killian, rogues, I thought. But they didn’t attack her. One of them looked at her…like it knew her. Like…”“Like what?” Killian growled.“Like it was afraid,” Mason finished, his tone shaking slightly.My head throbbed.I tried to move, but pain spiked up my arm where claws had raked across my skin.My breath hitched, and suddenly all three were beside me.“Zylia,” Raven said softly, crouching next to me. “Hey, look at me. You’re safe, alright?”I blinked until her face came into fo

  • The prophecy’s reject   CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE: The Fort

    Zylia’s POVThe air grew colder as we moved deeper into the forest, the moonlight slipping through the canopy like pale ribbons.The storm from earlier had passed, but the ground was still soft beneath our boots, each step sinking faintly into the earth.We searched for shelter, but there wasn’t a single shack or cave in sight, just miles of shadow and trees whispering secrets to the wind.Raven sighed, brushing damp hair from her face. “Perfect. No roof, no walls, no luck.”Mason grunted. “Then we build one.” He kicked at a fallen branch, testing its weight. “Won’t be the first time.”Killian crossed his arms, his eyes sweeping over the trees like he was mapping every possible threat. “We can’t stay exposed. We’ll use sticks and bark to make a cover. Keep the fire low.”I nodded, stepping closer to the pile of broken branches. “I can help.”“You don’t have to,” Killian said quietly.I shot him a look. “I didn’t ask for permission.”For a second, his lips twitched, that faint ghost o

  • The prophecy’s reject   CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR: Ambush

    Zylia’s POVI thought Raven had come up with the hunt idea so I could examine myself, whether I was ready to go back to camp. Maybe she had done that for the fun of it.Anyways…The walk back to camp started in quiet laughter.Mason joked about my aim, Raven threatened to make me skin my next catch, and Killian, surprisingly, smiled at something I said.A real smile. It didn’t belong in the forest, but it warmed me all the same.The trees whispered around us, soft and harmless.Until they didn’t.The sound faded. The air grew too still. Even the wind stopped.Raven halted first, her hand instinctively going to her dagger. “Don’t move,” she hissed.I froze, pulse thudding.Killian’s stance shifted immediately; Alpha, controlled, aware.His senses stretched into the dark, his eyes flashing faint amber.“What is it?” Mason asked under his breath.Killian’s gaze swept the trees. “We’re not alone.”The next second, shadows broke from the treeline, five, maybe six of them, moving too fast,

  • The prophecy’s reject   CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE: The Silver Hunt

    Zylia’s POVRaven’s boots crunched against the underbrush as she led us deeper into the forest.The fading light of dusk filtered through the trees, painting everything in soft gold.“Alright guys, it’s high time we return back to camp, I’m sure our work here is done?” Mason echoed, keeping his gaze on me.I turned to Killian, worry and confusion written all over his face.He couldn’t possibly leave Howlborne and stay at camp with us.Was I ready to go back to camp or even Howlborne?My stomach dropped. I hadn’t thought about returning to camp. I didn’t think of where to stay after this whole thing, whatever it is, whatever it’s called, was over.“Uhm…” I bit my lip, twisting the hem of my hair.“Before we return to camp,” Raven said, glancing back at me, “I’m going to use the woods as an opportunity to teach you how to hunt for yourself.”She knew I was struggling to make a decision.Thank you. I mouthed to her.I arched a brow. “You mean, you’re going to throw me to the wolves?”“So

  • The prophecy’s reject   CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO: What The Bond Remembers

    Killian’s POVDinner was quiet.Too quiet.Raven and Mason sat opposite us, the flickering fire casting half their faces in shadow.Raven was talking, something about how the realm’s pulse had slowed, how the air felt “less charged.” Mason nodded, but his focus kept sliding toward Zylia.Every time her sleeve brushed mine, the bond flared faintly, a slow shimmer under our skin.I caught Mason noticing once, the quick dart of his eyes, the way his jaw tightened for just a second before he looked away.I pretended not to see it.He pretended it didn’t bother him.Neither of us succeeded.Raven leaned back. “Mason, you’re taking first watch.”He blinked, like she’d snapped him from a thought. “What? Oh. Yeah. Sure.”“Good,” she said, standing. “I’ll take second. Don’t burn anything while we’re gone.”Her gaze lingered on me a beat too long, maybe a warning, maybe amusement.Then she was gone, pulling her cloak tighter as the door shut behind them.Mason hesitated at the threshold.“Get s

  • The prophecy’s reject   CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE: The Silence

    Zylia’s POVBy the time we made it back to the hut, night had settled thick and heavy over the trees.The air smelled like wet bark and smoke; the forest still hummed with whatever had shaken it earlier.Raven tossed her damp cloak onto the table, her expression unreadable. “Since the realm didn’t kill us yet,” she said dryly, “we should at least get dinner before it changes its mind.”Mason groaned, rubbing the back of his neck. “Right. Firewood. Again.”Raven arched a brow. “You coming, or freezing?”He shot her a look but pushed off the wall anyway. “Fine. But if another tree decides to fall, I’m blaming him.” He pointed at Killian, who didn’t rise to the bait, just sat by the half-dead fire, watching the embers shift.The corner of Raven’s mouth twitched. “Try not to burn the place down while we’re gone.”And then they were gone, boots crunching against damp leaves until the sound faded into the forest’s quiet.For a while, neither of us spoke.The silence didn’t feel heavy, just
