Semua Bab Elixir: Fated To The Three Alpha : Bab 61 - Bab 70

Elixir’s POVThe temple let me go, but it didn’t release me.Even as the doors opened and I stumbled back into the arms of the Alphas, I felt it—the weight of choice pressing against my chest like an invisible blade. Nyxthar’s words clung to me, twisting around my thoughts like a curse I couldn’t shake.One bond must break, or all will fall.Lucian, Soren, and Ewen surrounded me, their faces marked with worry and unspoken tension. I saw it now, more clearly than ever. The rivalry between them wasn’t just about power or territory—it was rooted in fear. The fear of losing me.And one of them would.I was the storm they’d been trying to weather. And now, I was becoming the reason the skies might crack wide open.“Let’s get her back to the camp,” Ewen said, his voice clipped but calm.Lucian didn’t move. “Not until she tells us what happened in there.”Soren’s hand brushed my lower back, grounding. “She’s shaken.

Not yet.The rune beneath my ribs pulsed in rhythm with the moon. I dropped to my knees, ignoring the chaos around me, and pressed my hand against the center of the stone. It burned—hot and golden, not with pain, but power.A memory I had never lived surged forward.A woman. Eyes like mine. Blood soaking her hands. A crown of thorns. She whispered, “The key is never what i

Elixir’s POV Ash rained from the sky like black snowWe stood in the treeline watching what was left of the manor collapse into itself The roof groaned the walls cracked and flames licked through the windows devouring every memory that house heldSoren’s hand never left mineLucian paced like a caged animal his shirt torn blood streaking down his side Ewen was crouched beside a large stone whispering a warding spell that barely held together The runes on his skin flickered like dying embers“He didn’t kill us” I whispered “He could have But he didn’t”Lucian stopped walking his eyes snapping to mine “Because he’s playing a longer game”“He said I’d fix the goddess’s mistake” I added “What did he mean by that Who was he”“Not who” Ewen said quietly “What”I turned to him the heaviness in my chest coiling tighter “Tell me”“I’ve read about beings like him” Ewen said standing “Not rogue not possessed but corrupted from the source Twisted by the remnants of the fallen goddess’s bloodline

Elixir’s POVSteps formed beneath my feet before I movedThey shaped themselves out of broken stone and golden light carving a path downward into the earth like the temple was guiding me not as a guest but as a piece returning to its originLucian reached for my hand but hesitated his touch hovering inches from mine“You sure you want to go first” he asked quietly“No” I said “But I think I have to”Ewen’s breath fogged as the temperature dropped the further we descended “There’s something alive down here something watching us”Soren scanned the walls as runes lit up one by one each glowing with heat then fading into darkness “It’s not watching us” he said “It’s welcoming her”The passage opened into a wide chamber cut from crystal and shadowPillars of quartz rose from the floor spiraling toward the unseen ceiling and at the center stood a throneIt wasn’t grand or jeweledIt was made from black stone bound in silver chains runes etched across the seat like scars still bleedingLucia
