What Survived The Burn Chapter Seventy-Nine
Loria’s POVThe kitchen was massive, tucked behind double swinging doors just off the main corridor. Stone hearths lined one wall. Rusted pots hung above ancient counters, and there were at least six iron stoves—none of them functional. A few dry wooden prep tables sat in the center, warped by time and age.“This is going to take some serious energy,” I said, frowning.Simon stepped up beside me. “Let’s do it together.”We didn’t speak after that. Our magic rose, golden and white, the tendrils of it curling outward like fingers searching for understanding. I focused on the structure—stability, purpose, cleanliness. Zerina poured power through me like a second heartbeat.Simon’s magic hummed through the floor—low and steady, like the earth itself responding to his call. Where mine restored the soul of the kitchen, his strengthened the body. Cracks in the stone healed. The rust disappeared. The air warmed, fragrant with subtle herbs and soapstone.The counters gleamed again, marble emer

Simon’s POV“Switzerland,” she repeated again, the word barely above a whisper. Her eyes were still wide, mouth slightly open, as if the syllables were foreign in her mouth. “We’re in actual, real Switzerland?”“According to Google,” I said, holding the phone up again to show the little blue dot blinking on the map. “We’re fifty-three miles from Zürich. Nowhere near a town. Completely off-grid.”Loria blinked again. Then she laughed.Not a light giggle. Not even a disbelieving scoff. A real, full laugh. She spun in a slow circle, arms stretched out wide. “I can’t believe this,” she said. “I wasn’t even trying to go international.”I smiled, watching her spin in the wild grass, sunlight catching the dark sheen of her curls. “Guess your magic had bigger plans.”She stopped suddenly, sobering. “Simon. This is huge.”“I noticed.”“No, I mean this changes everything.” Her gaze scanned the towers, the vines, the shape of the palace as if she were seeing it with entirely new eyes. “The land…

Simon’s POVLoria shoved the plate toward me again, eyebrows lifted, dead serious.“Eat,” she said, her voice lined with steel.I huffed out a breath and picked up the fork. She didn’t have to say it twice. Okay—she did say it twice, but I’d only ignored her the first time because I was still trying to keep my damn magic from flaring out through the roof of this tent. My skin felt too tight, like I’d grown two sizes since I’d opened my eyes this morning.It wasn’t pain, not exactly. It was pressure. Constant, humming, alive.She was trying not to hover, but I could tell from the set of her shoulders and the stillness of her gaze that she was watching for signs that I might combust.I wasn’t planning on combusting.Still, when I took the first few bites of eggs and felt the warmth settle in my stomach, I realized just how much I’d needed it. The food helped center me. Loria always knew exactly what I needed—even when I didn’t.She sat on the floor beside me, cross-legged with her own p
What Survived The Burn Chapter Seventy-Six
Loria’s POVThe meal passed in a kind of sacred silence.Simon and I didn’t speak as we ate cross-legged on the soft enchanted floor of the tent, plates balanced on our knees. The lanterns hovered dimly near the ceiling, casting warm amber shadows across the canvas walls. A gentle hum of magic pulsed in the air, quiet and alive—almost like the tent was breathing along with us.The chicken was perfectly seasoned, the potatoes crispy and tender. It wasn’t the meal itself that made it special—it was the fact that he’d made it. That we were alone, together, alive, and far away from the demands of being Alpha and Luna, parents to six children, and protectors of an entire supernatural community. In this enchanted space, we were simply Loria and Simon.No titles. No responsibilities. Just us.Zerina purred contentedly in my head. "This was a good idea," she whispered. "We needed to breathe."I nodded slightly to myself, taking another bite and chewing slowly. Every so often, I’d catch Simon
What Survived The Burn Chapter Seventy-Five
Loria’s POVWe portaled four times today.Each location was promising for one reason or another—and each failed us in ways we hadn’t quite anticipated.The first had too many exposure points, open terrain that left the tree line too far off for comfort. The second looked perfect until the sound of distant gunfire made it clear a shooting range or hunter’s trail wasn’t far. The third—well, it was beautiful. Serene. Mountain views with the smell of pines thick in the air. But the altitude gave Simon a headache, and honestly, the terrain was just too rocky to build what we wanted. The fourth was… fine. A wide clearing by a small lake, bordered by thick trees and distant mountains.But it was too small.Zerina grumbled inside my head the moment we stepped into it."We’d barely have space to expand," she muttered, pacing behind my eyes. "Let alone raise children here."I agreed. Still, there was something peaceful about the place. Enough that I hesitated."We could camp here for the night,
What Survived The Burn Chapter Seventy-Four
Loria’s POVThe shift between worlds wasn’t jarring—not like I imagined it would be. No spinning vortex or gut-wrenching fall. Just a soft ripple through the air, like stepping through a thin curtain of water and emerging dry on the other side.When I opened my eyes, we were no longer surrounded by thick forest. The air here was drier. Cooler. The scent of pine and dust filled my lungs. Mountains rose in the distance, capped with the remnants of snow, and the clearing we stood in was wide, framed by jagged cliffs and towering evergreens. It was beautiful—a kind of untamed, cinematic beauty that would take most people’s breath away.But the moment I looked at Simon, I knew he felt it too.Too exposed.Too open.There were at least six clear entry points that we could see right away, and who knew how many we weren’t seeing? The tree coverage was spotty, and while the elevation gave us a view of the valley, it also meant anyone from below could see us just as easily. The rock faces aroun
