The prophecy’s reject CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: The Night Of Howlborne
Killian’s POVThe word cursed still echoed in my head long after the Priestess said it.The air had turned thick, hard to breathe. The Priestess was still on her knees, whispering to herself, her lips moving faster than her prayers could catch up.Outside, the wolves began to howl.Not the kind of howl that spoke to the moon , this one was pain.I turned and ran for the door.,The ground shook under my feet as I stepped out. The scent of blood hit me first. Then came the cries.Warriors stumbled across the courtyard, their bodies covered in strange marks , glowing faintly silver, burning through their skin. One man fell in front of me, gasping for air. His claws were out, but he couldn’t shift back.“Alpha…” he choked, eyes wide. “It hurts.”I knelt beside him, trying to calm him with my aura, but when I reached for him, a sharp burn ran up my arm. I pulled back fast. My hand shook.My bond wasn’t working.That shouldn’t be possible.“Get the healers!” I shouted. “Now!”Lucien ran to
The prophecy’s reject CHAPTER SIXTEEN: The Moon’s Silence
Killian’s POVThe temple was cold tonight.Colder than it had ever been, as though the moon itself refused to look down on us. The marble floor bit into my knees, and the scent of smoke clung to the air like a wound that wouldn’t close.The Priestess moved in a slow circle around the moon bowl, her veil fluttering with every chant. Silver light shimmered across the water, and for a heartbeat, I thought maybe,just maybe,the Goddess would answer.“Luna,” the Priestess called, her voice trembling. “Hear the cry of your wolves. We have obeyed, we have bled, we have given. Tell us,why do you turn away?”The torches bent with the wind. Shadows crawled up the walls.I stared at the reflection of the moon in the bowl, watching it tremble. “She won’t come,” I said under my breath.“She always comes,” the Priestess whispered, dipping her fingers into the water. “If we’ve not angered her beyond forgiveness.”My jaw tightened. “Then we’ll beg for it.”The air shifted.The moonlight dimmed, then f
The prophecy’s reject CHAPTER FIFTEEN: In The Darkness
Killian’s POVThe moonlight stretched thin across my room, through the window and bounced on my bed.I just got out of the bath, a towel wrapped around my waist.I stood in front of the mirror, examining myself. Being Alpha was supposed to be strength. Leadership. But lately, it felt more like trying to hold a dying beast together by its horn.The door creaked before I could speak.“Working yourself to death again?”Her voice was silk and low, sweet, and venomous all at once.Lilith.Lilith stepped into the room without waiting for permission. The candlelight found her curves before her face, silver gown clinging like smoke. Her lips curved in that practiced smile that never reached her eyes.“I thought I made it clear,” I said, not looking up, “you don’t walk into my quarters without…”“Without knocking?” She laughed softly, the sound sharp enough to cut through the silence. “You never minded before.”“I mind now.”That only made her smile widen. She came closer, slow, deliberate, he
The prophecy’s reject CHAPTER FOURTEEN: The Shadow Between Wolves
Zylia’s POVI could’ve sworn none of them blinked throughout.The Hollow had changed something in the air, also in me. The whisper that had called my name still clung to my thoughts, threading through every heartbeat like a warning I couldn’t shake.Night came without stars.The ruins looked different in the dark , alive in a way that made my skin crawl. Every stone seemed to hum beneath the moonlight, as if the carvings themselves breathed. The air was thick, electric, waiting.Raven sat by a low fire, cleaning her blades in silence. Mason sharpened his knife beside her, his jaw tight. Sparks flickered between them, small and mean. I sat a few steps away, watching the faint shimmer still glowing on my palm. It hadn’t faded, not completely. My skin still remembered what it had done.“Don’t stare too long,” Raven said without looking up. “Things that change you don’t like being looked at.”“I wasn’t…” I started, then stopped. She was right. Whatever this was, it wasn’t meant for
The prophecy’s reject CHAPTER THIRTEEN: The Hollow’s Secret
Zylia’s POVThe forest changed the deeper we went.The air grew colder, heavier, like it carried the ghosts of everything that had died here. Even the wind sounded different. It blew lower, almost human.No one spoke. Not Raven, not even Mason.We just followed the fading path that wound through the mist, where the trees bent toward each other like they were whispering secrets we weren’t supposed to hear.When the ruins appeared, it didn’t feel like finding something. It felt like something finding us.Stone arches clawed at the sky, covered in moss and frost. Symbols were carved along the walls , old, sharp, wrong. I didn’t recognize the language, but my bones did. My skin prickled as if my blood remembered what my mind couldn’t.Raven was the first to step closer. “The Hollow,” she said quietly. “Didn’t think it was real.”Her voice carried something I’d never heard before , fear.Mason looked around, his jaw clenched tight. “Looks real enough to me.”He brushed a hand across one
The prophecy’s reject CHAPTER TWELVE: Ashes And Answers
Mason’s POVThe fire hadn’t gone out. It hissed and spat, throwing light over her body. Zylia lay where the blast had dropped her. She was too still, too pale, and the dirt beneath her still scorched black.Raven stood a few paces away, knife in hand, face carved into something unreadable.“She’s not breathing,” she said. No fear in her voice. Just fact.“She is.” I knelt beside Zylia, fingers finding the pulse beneath her jaw. Faint, fluttering. “Barely.”Raven’s boots crunched the ash. “Whatever that was, it wasn’t wolf magic.”“I noticed,” I muttered. The air still smelled wrong, metallic and burntRaven circled her, “You saw what she did. That light, no wolf can do that. Not even Alphas. We should leave her.”The words hit like a slap. “You mean kill her.”“I mean survive.” Her gaze lifted, hard and cold. “That’s what you taught me, remember?”I swallowed the old memory she’d thrown like a blade. “She’s not a threat.”Raven tilted her head. “You’re sure?”No. Not even close.
