EPISODE 91

KEILAH The steam curled around me like whispered secrets as I stood in the pool, letting the warm water cascade over my bare shoulders. My fingers drifted through the stream, slow and absent, while my thoughts—traitorous, wild thoughts—raced far away from where they should’ve stayed.He was gone now. Left not long ago, with a soft kiss and a promise I didn’t ask him to make.I told him to go. I had to.Because tomorrow, everything will burn.Still… gods, I hadn’t wanted him to leave.The water was supposed to help—supposed to soothe me, ground me—but instead, it only made me ache more. My cheeks flamed, hotter than the water itself, as memory clawed its way back into my skin.Damien.His mouth.His tongue.The way he looked at me like I was something he could never get enough of—like touching me wasn’t enough like he needed to breathe me in to survive.I sucked in a sharp breath, covering my face with my hands. “Stop it,” I whispered to myself, shaking my head. “Just stop.”But I cou

EPISODE 92

KEILAH My knees trembled beneath me. The Queen’s words echoed again and again in my mind like a bell tolling for the dead.She’s out there.Alive.My mother—alive?I couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t think. My heart slammed against my ribs so hard it hurt. But before I could ask anything, before I could reach for that sliver of impossible hope, the Queen’s face twisted into something crueler. Colder.“Tomorrow, you’re going to watch me kill the vampire and the wolf.”My blood turned to ice.“No.” The word fell out of my mouth like a prayer, like a curse. “You can’t—”She took a step forward, her gown dragging like smoke behind her. “Oh, but I can. And I will. I’ll make you watch every second, child. I want you to see what happens to those who think they can defy me.”“No!” I roared, surging forward with blinding fury, fists clenched. “If you lay a hand on either of them, I swear to the gods—”But I didn’t get to finish.The Queen’s snarl tore through the air, vicious and inhuman, and with o

EPISODE 93

DAMIEN The palace loomed ahead, tall and gleaming beneath the pale light that filtered through the high glass arches. The stones underfoot were too clean. Too quiet. Even the breeze that usually whispered through the garden halls felt… still.Something was off.I felt it in my bones. In my breath. In the way the fine hairs on the back of my neck prickled.This was supposed to be a day of reward—of power being handed over. The women were getting their damn clans today. So was Aaron. That’s what the Queen had promised. That’s why we were summoned.But my instincts screamed otherwise.Something wasn’t right.I walked in silence, hands clenched at my sides as I followed behind the women. They moved with giddy steps, barely able to contain their excitement. Their laughter bounced off the crystal walls like bells—sharp, high-pitched, too loud in a place that had grown too still.They didn’t notice it. The shift in the air.But I did.I always did.The way the guards stood was tighter, more

EPISODE 94

DAMIEN The further I chased after Ralph, the more fae we shoved past, drawing eyes, raising suspicion. His wild energy surged ahead like a storm—barefoot, breathing like an animal unchained.People turned to look but didn't care as much and continued their way. Magic in the air rippled around us. The smell of bloodlust—his and mine—tainted the sweet perfume of the flowers.I finally caught up with him near the edge of the inner palace—the part where the crowd’s noise faded, where the corridors were wide and cold, echoing with old enchantments and secrets. He growled, whipping around."Where the fuck do you think you're going?" I snarled, my grip iron on his arm.Ralph shoved me off him with a growl that rumbled from deep in his chest. His eyes were already shifting gold, his body trembling with the edge of a shift."To find my mate!" he snapped, his voice low and savage. “She’s out there. I can feel it.”I stepped in close, jaw tight. “I know. But do you know where she’s being held?

EPISODE 95

RALPH For a heartbeat, everything stood still.Keilah’s scream had stopped.Her hands were frozen mid-pound against the invisible wall, her eyes wide and lips parted in horrified silence. I didn’t realise I was holding my breath, too, watching as Damien hit the ground like a lifeless sack, unmoving, smoke curling around his fallen form.No sound. No wind. No time.Just stillness.And then I snapped.I used that single flicker of distraction. My bones cracked, body shifted—fur tearing through skin as my claws hit the polished floor with a snarl.I lunged.The impact sent the Queen flying across the marble room, crashing into the far side with a violent grunt. I didn’t wait. I charged again, my teeth bared, inches from her throat, ready to finish what she started—Pain.Agonising, searing pain.A burst of magic shot through me mid-leap, gripping every nerve like fire-laced chains. I yelped as my body stiffened, crashing hard. My limbs refused to move—paralysed, my muscles locked in pla

EPISODE 96

RALPH It felt like I was drowning in tar—heavy, choking, endless. The voice still echoed in my skull, wrapping around my thoughts like a noose. She’s ours now. Then, out of nowhere, a hand. Warm, strong. It grabbed my arm and yanked hard. The shadows shattered like glass. I gasped—air tore into my lungs as I blinked up into a burst of golden light. The weight on my chest lifted. I stumbled back, coughing hard as I came to, and saw Aaron’s face tight with worry, his hand still clutching mine. “You good?” he asked quickly, breath ragged. “What…” I tried to speak, but my throat burned. “What the hell just happened?” Aaron let out a low breath. “That thing you saw—wasn’t real. It was a sentry illusion. A trap. Created by an ancient warding spirit called Zhyrak. He feeds on desperation… It mimics what you want the most and uses it to break you.” I clenched my jaw, my fists tightening. “So Keilah—wasn’t even there?” He shook his head grimly. “Not that Keilah, no. That was a projec

EPISODE 97

DAHLIA Jay stood close to me, shoulders tight, his eyes scanning the surrounding trees with sharp intensity. I could feel his tension, like a live wire buzzing in the air between us. Then I saw him. He stood near the edge of the lake, hands clasped behind his back, back straight, posture regal. The golden in his eyes caught the fading sun as he turned slightly, already aware we had arrived even before we’d taken a single step toward him. Jay stepped forward protectively, but I placed a hand on his arm. “Let me,” I murmured. He didn’t move, didn’t like it, but he trusted me enough to let me walk ahead. My boots crunched over the grass as I closed the distance. The man—this dark stranger who radiated danger and command—turned fully to face me. That smirk was back, carved into his face like it belonged there. Too calm. Too confident. “You came,” he said, voice low and deep, rippling through the stillness. “I’m not here for games,” I said bluntly. “Neither am I,” he replied, st

EPISODE 98

DAHLIA His lips tasted like heat and hunger, like danger wrapped in temptation. Our mouths collided in a fierce, consuming kiss, and this time… this time I didn’t hold back.I pressed into him with everything I had, my fingers tangling in the fabric of his shirt, pulling him closer, needing to feel him—all of him. And he gave it, gods, he gave it.Lumumba growled low in his chest, a sound that made my knees weaken. He crushed me against him, one hand at the back of my neck, the other gripping my waist like I was the only thing anchoring him. My body arched against his, and I gasped when I felt it.His hardness.Thick. Bold. Demanding.I shuddered with need so sharp, it almost scared me. A pulse beat between my thighs, and I hated how easily he unravelled me, how badly I wanted to give in.My breath came out shaky as I forced myself to pull back, tearing my lips from his with effort that felt like ripping my soul in half.“Stop,” I panted, my hands on his chest, shaking. “We… we have

EPISODE 99

KEILAH The sun blazed high above us, light piercing through the canopy as Ralph sprinted through the forest. Branches whipped past my arms and face, but I didn’t dare loosen my grip. My fingers clung tightly to the thick fur on his back, my body pressed close to his broad shoulders as he moved with terrifying speed.Behind us—thunder.No, not thunder. Footsteps.Many. Fast.And snarls.I looked back for just a second, and my heart nearly stopped. They were still coming. Dozens of them. Townspeople—but wrong. Their eyes glowed unnaturally under the daylight, and they moved like predators, like they didn’t care if the sun burned above them. They weren’t hunting Ralph.They were hunting me.But Ralph was faster. Gods, he was flying—his dark fur gleaming in the sunlight as he tore through the forest, each powerful leap carrying us over twisted roots and jagged rocks. I held on tighter, my heart pounding so hard I thought it would break my ribs.Then he turned.It was too sharp.My grip s

EPISODE 100

KEILAH I froze. My breath hitched. And just like that, she turned and disappeared into the crowd as if she’d never been there. Ralph’s voice pulled me back from the edge of my spiralling thoughts. “We need to leave this place,” he said, urgency threading through his tone. I turned to him, confusion knitting my brows. “What? Why?” “Are you okay?” His eyes searched mine, steady and sharp. I hesitated, then asked quietly, “Didn’t you see the woman?” “Which woman?” I nodded slowly but said nothing. “Maybe I’m just tired… seeing things that aren’t really there.” I forced a smile, but the weight in my chest stayed. “How are we going to leave? And where do we even go?” Ralph’s jaw tightened. “We’re probably in Missoula. It’ll take forever to get to Portland. And with Aaron and his horse? We’ll need a big truck to move them both.” He sighed and glanced around as if people around might give him answers. “I need to make a call to the pack. Get some money to rent a truck.” He gav
