Shaking stopped, yet the quiet afterwards was far from reassuring.

They paused on the old trail and waited for any noise. Nothing moved. They heard no birds, felt no wind, and there was no longer the constant sound of the river they had just crossed. Overhead, the sky was dull grey—not indicating a storm, but instead a thin blanket laid over the sunshine.

Serakha pulled her pack in and clutched it harder. “That did not sound like the mountain,” she said quietly. “That came from below.”

He forced his hand into the earth and rested a moment on the cold ground. His eyes closed silently for just a moment.

He said the ground sheltered some sort of activity. “Not close… but it’s moving.”

Lucian looked ahead. The way ahead separated into three, much as Renak’s map had shown would occur. Three paths were dividing the road, with each heading off toward a different part of the forest. Only the path

  • Torn Between Alphas   Chapter 105: The Whispering Road

    The road to the south curved and maneuvered like a river of stone, weaving through fields of gold, which whistled with the morning breeze. Lucian went on ahead, boots sweeping the soft grass that grew on the edges of the trail. His hand was still benignly glowing — not to see by, but to hold on to.Serakha walked by him, hood low about her features, eyes gazing to the horizon with peaceful curiosity. Arden moved behind in slow, patient steps, ever listening, ever feeling the ground under their feet.Tirnen disappeared behind them, not as a place that was forgotten, but now as a place of light. A place breathing again.Lucian clutched the little wooden carving received from the old woman, rivers of fingers tracing the frayed edges of the symbol. He could still sense the memory in it though as in a faint voice calling from somewhere distant but familiar.The sun climbed higher and by the middle of the day they reached a rung of hump back hills where t

    The mountain path was having fewer people now. Yet, it was the silence that was no longer that of emptiness. It was silence in listening. Of waiting.Lucian tiptoed through the stones, the light in his hand still warming and softly throbbing. Serakha and Arden, steady and calm, followed him. Now the city was behind them, still watching—still shining—but this; they walked on with a purpose.They didn’t speak much. The words did not feel necessary at the same time. The morning breeze was cutting but gentle, caressing their faces, as if a new day was touching them. All steps were a choice. A promise.After an hour of walking, they arrived at a curve where the trees start getting closer together, their branches silvered, reflecting the sun like mirrors. Here, they paused.“Do you hear that?” Serakha asked.Lucian turned his head. There was an air. Not a voice. Not music. But something familiar. It is the feeling like pages

    There was no longer any cold on the route leading down from the mountain.A light breeze took the place of the cold wind, caresingly passing over Serakha’s cloak. It did not appear that the trees were sleeping now. The trees stood tall, their branches curling over them like sentinels, and their silver-green foliage softly hummed as light passed through.Lucian walked ahead, his flame, hidden beneath his skin, vibrating lightly as if pulsing.Leaving the city was not complete; memories of it continued with them. They carried that memory with them as they went: Because the route curved in the right place beneath them, warmth hung on their backs, and a gentle silence filled the morning.He brought up the rear, his normal quietness intact, yet his steps steadied the rest. He scanned the ground ahead, as though he expected something to happen. She stayed in the middle, her hand resting lightly on the seed kept inside her. It was not heavy. It was calm.

  • Torn Between Alphas   Chapter 101: What Comes After

    The sky was still sparkling with its dim shine.The first flash of the sunlight reached on the icy pinnacles, and flowed softly in the fine golden mist that was spread low in the sky, as if it had been spun from the heavens. There was an unexpected warmth to the light that somehow wasn’t comfortable. It was warm like sun, but soft like fire’s touch. It appeared to linger about somewhere between a ghost of a memory and a soft exhalation.A little more he waited, standing at the edge of the cliff gazing out. Down below the first signs of life were being established in the city.Whispering was gradually returning into the air. A trickle of water. A bird’s call. Leaves brushing in soft wind. He watched the rooftops glimmer with colors they did not reveal a day before as if the buildings had come to life, slowly and exhaling after centuries of slumber.Serakha joined him. She wrapped her cloak around her and peered over the horizon and over t

  • Torn Between Alphas    Chapter 100: The Forgotten City

    The morning was still.There was a soft peace upon everything as the sky soon turned peaceful early azure. Lying below, the city was peaceful like it was always asleep, not disturbed and still with the mountain shielding it.Lucian awoke first. He rolled himself out, and was careful not to wake up the peaceful sleep of the Serakha beside him. Her hand rested beside his chest. His glance rested on her with gratitude and as he turned to gaze on the valley. He was caught breathless again upon the scene.The silver leaves of the trees hardly fluttered, as if the forest was breathing slowly. Time seemed to have left no trace on the city that lay under them. No broken roofs. No fallen stones. In the very centre of the valley there was a massive building of the form of an open volume, its walls encrimsoned in the palely dancing spiral glyphs.response“To go down, it’s time,” Lucian said conspiratorially.Arden replied, grabbing his
