Sable's POV

---

The wound on my side won't stop bleeding, and I know something is wrong.

    Sable's POV---My mother is crying, and I can feel every tear through the crown.It has been three days since she first spoke to me. Three days since I learned that the darkness I absorbed was not just emptiness. It was memory. It was love. It was her.She has been talking to me every night. Telling me stories. Telling me truths. Telling me things I never knew about myself, about my bloodline, about the world.And tonight, she is crying."Why are you crying?" I ask."Because I have to leave soon."My heart stops."What do you mean?""The crown is settling. It is becoming part of you. And when it settles completely, I will fade.""No." I shake my head. "No. You cannot leave. You just got here.""I know, little one. But this was never permanent. I was only here to help you accept the crown. To help you become whole. And now that you are, I can go.""I am not whole. I am not ready.""You are more ready than you know." Her voice is soft. Warm. "You have faced the Void. You have faced the

    Sable's POV---The Hollow Crown has been silent for three days, and that terrifies me more than its whispers ever did.It is not gone. I can feel it. A cold weight on my head. A shadow in my mind. A presence that never leaves. But it is not speaking. It is not pushing. It is not trying to take control.It is waiting.And I do not know what it is waiting for.---I find Garrick in the training yard at dawn.He is not fighting. He is just standing there. Staring at the horizon. His hands are clenched. His jaw is tight. He has not been sleeping. None of us have."The crown is quiet," he says. It is not a question."Yes.""That is not good.""No." I pause. "It is not."He turns to face me. His eyes are red. His face is pale. He looks like he has aged ten years in three days."What do you think it is doing?""I do not know." I look at him. "But I am afraid.""You are never afraid.""I am always afraid. I just hide it better than most."He walks toward me. He takes my hand. His grip is war

And then I feel it. A pull. A push. A presence.The crown speaks. Not to me. Through me."People of the Silver City," it says. My voice. My mouth. My body. "You have lived in peace for too long. You have forgotten the darkness. You have forgotten me. But I have not forgotten you. And I am coming."I try to stop. I try to close my mouth. I try to fight.I cannot."Your queen is weak," the crown continues. "Your queen is a child. Your queen is nothing. But I am everything. And I will take what is mine."I scream. I scream inside my own head. I scream with every ounce of strength I have.And then, silence.The crown stops. The voice fades. The presence retreats.But it is too late.The city is awake. The people are terrified. The armies are scrambling. And everyone is looking at me like I am the enemy.---I

  • Three Alpha's, One Reckoning, (Wake by the Ancient)    The Crown's Price

    Sable's POV---The Hollow Crown has been on my head for a week, and I am starting to forget what my own voice sounds like.It is not that I cannot speak. I can. I do. I talk to Garrick. I talk to Merrick. I talk to Stellan. I talk to Odette. I give orders. I make plans. I smile. I nod. I pretend.But underneath all of it, there is another voice. The crown's voice. And it is getting louder."You are wasting your time," it says. "These people do not deserve you. They are weak. They are fragile. They are nothing.""They are my family.""They are a burden. Let them go. Let them fall. You do not need them.""I do need them.""You do not. You are the Hollow Queen. You are everything. You need no one."---I find Garrick in the training yard at dawn.He is not fighting. He is just standing there. Staring at me. His eyes are red. His face is pale. He has not been sleeping.

    Sable's POV---The crown appears on my head at midnight, and I do not remember putting it there.I am standing on the balcony. The moon is full. The stars are bright. The world is peaceful. And then I feel it. A weight. A cold. A presence.I reach up. My fingers touch metal. Not silver. Not gold. Something darker. Something older. Something that should not exist.I walk to the mirror. I look at my reflection. And I see it.The Hollow Crown.It sits on my head like it was always meant to be there. Black iron. Twisted thorns. A single silver stone in the center that pulses with light.And I know, without knowing how, that it will never come off.---I find Garrick in the training yard at dawn.He is not fighting. He is just standing there. Staring at me. His eyes are wide.
