last update 최신 업데이트: 2025-08-16 19:00:21

It was a cool evening with it being a bit of the desert heat wrapped around us like a heavy blanket. Dry and sharp was the wind that dragged sand across his skin. Each step felt slower, heavier. Far and wide the Cradle of Fire lay. A city which, once, it had, hidden under the rebuffs of centuries, was now a grave of stone and glass.

Lucian looked up through his eyes to the sun above. “This place was alive once?”

Serakha nodded. “It was bright. Warm. Full of voices. The First Betrayal started here.”

Arden kicked a half-buried stone. “Hard to believe. And the sun has been trying to burn the truth away ever since…”

The Onyx Wolf padded forward sniffing the dry air. The rest of them were, to be blunt, comically incapable of resisting the heat, but its dark fur shimmered faintly better than the rest.

The wind changed as they entered into the ruins deeper. It carried whispers now. Faint, broken. Not language — memory.

“Keep walking,” Serakha said

  • Torn Between Alphas   Chapter 111: The Price of Shadows

    The clearing still reeked of ash and blood.Smoke curled from the blackened earth, rising in slow, ghostly tendrils as if the forest itself mourned what had been unleashed. The shadow hounds were gone—reduced to crumbling husks that the wind carried away piece by piece—but their presence lingered, a stain etched into the soil.Serena stood at the center of it all, chest heaving, the shadows clinging to her like a living shroud. Midnight fur gleamed beneath the crimson light of the dying eclipse, and her eyes—violet flames that should not exist in any wolf—burned with an unnatural glow. She felt both endless and hollow, as if she had torn open the world only to discover it was already breaking.Lucian’s wolf crouched low a few paces away, his amber eyes blazing, his flank heaving with blood-streaked breaths. Elias stood in human form, half-shifted claws glinting, sweat dripping down his templ

  • Torn Between Alphas   Chapter 110: Shadows of the Eclipse

    The howl that split the night was not Silver Ridge, nor Nightfang—it was something older, wilder, and steeped in the same crimson light that drenched the land. It vibrated through Serena’s bones, rattling her ribs like a cage for the beast within. Her Onyx wolf surged, pressing against her skin, desperate to break free.Lucian’s jaw tightened as he turned toward the sound. His amber eyes flashed like molten gold, fury and anticipation burning in their depths. Beside him, Elias lowered his stance, his silver-gray wolf form bristling with tension. The two Alphas didn’t look at each other, but the air between them was a battlefield of unspoken rage.Serena stood between them, her fists clenched at her sides. Her heart slammed against her chest, the mark of the eclipse above them tugging at her soul. She could feel both bonds pulling her in opposite directions—Lucian’s fire searing her veins, Elias’s call anchoring her heart. And in th

  • Torn Between Alphas    Chapter 109: The First City in the Sky

    The aircraft looked as if it was being carried by the wind itself. The only thing it did was softly hum, which sounded like it was remembering stuff it sang from the past. The desert on the ground shrank, and the sky grew larger.Lucian was standing close by the front window. There was a hint of gold on the soft blue sky straight ahead. Serakha and Arden sat together with the other members. A number of the kids leaned against the borders of the viewing portholes, their eyes full of fascination. Many of the people were flying for the very first time.“It can listen, too,” Lucian whispered, behind the pocketed crystal. Lynx knows how to get where she needs to be.Arden paused to look at the map for a few seconds. Lines appeared to flow across the surface just as rivers flow on a plain. An old city must be situated nearby. See here?” He highlighted a shining spiral with his hand. Air is represented by that sign. There is a chance that the city is

  • Torn Between Alphas    Chapter 108: The Ship in the Sand

    Grains of sand were carried about by the wind over the open area. It produced a faint, low noise, almost as if someone was trying to recollect a familiar old voice.As Lucian took steps forward, the crystal he carried seemed to glow, illuminated by the sun rising in the sky. Those who had decided to leave were followed by Serakha, Arden, and many more behind them. You could tell people had walked by because of the soft tracks they left in the sand.Since they first left the forest, they had been walking for two days. Night after night, they set up camp side by side, using the same food and sharing everything close to their hearts. They started their day by looking for any signs. But the directional signs gave us an answer.“Is that all?” asked one of the children, blocking the sun with their hands.When I looked far out, I spotted something rise from below. It was shaped like the top of a tower, with a wide and long hull just like that of a sh

  • Torn Between Alphas   Chapter 107: The City Beneath the Leaves

    No mark of a name could be seen on the gates of the city.Only vines.And silence.Lucian set off first, crossing through the broken area. He barely had energy left, but he kept running steadily. Behind them, Serakha and Arden moved forward, followed by all of the others with care.The path was broken in many places, yet it connected the buildings. Some were hollow shells. Some wooden doors remained, ready for someone to step through them.Trees were planted along the streets these days. I’m not sitting above the city and forest, but crossing between them, like they share the same language.“Do you feel it?” Serakha quietly said, hardly raising her voice.Lucian nodded. “This place is dreaming.”They stayed a bit back to avoid waking the sleeping animal.---&n

  • Torn Between Alphas   Chapter 106: The Voice Above

    A faint wind entered the room through the archway. It had the sound of someone inhaling and exhaling very gently. Still watching the picture on the wall, Lucian sat at the fire. The soft glow caused the shadows to slowly gild the ancient walls.Morning came without a sound.Though the stars had disappeared, the sky was still bright and clear up there. A pale blue sky with fluffy clouds laying lightly in the air.Awakening first, Serakha made her way out of the ark. She stood close to the entrance, peaking outside to see what was below. Looking back, Estel Crossing was a very small spot on the map. The road seemed to drape itself along the golden and green landscape.She said softly, “We’re so high up that we can see memory.”Arden joined her quietly. “So not at the end of our climb.”Lucian woke soon after. The carving was still held in his hand, and now it glowed with a gentler light like it was looking at them
