Chapter 131

ASHVIN“My father.” The words barely left my mouth before I was already running.Branches slapped against my face as I pushed through the forest, Zahra right behind me.“Ashvin, wait!”I didn’t, I couldn’t.That voice, that was my father and I am very sure of what I heard.I haven’t heard it since that day he told me about the hunter part but I knew it.There were some voices a son could never forget.I pushed harder, the blood trail continued between the trees, faint but visible beneath the moonlight.“He has to be here.”Zahra caught up with me.“Then slow down before you run straight into a trap.”I stopped.She almost collided with my back.I looked at her.“What?”She pointed ahead. The blood trail had stopped completely. .I looked down and there was nothing. The blood and footprints had all disappeared.My heart sank.“He was here.” I said with despair. I know he was. “I know.”She looked around.“Which means someone wanted us to follow.”I turned toward her.“Then we give the

Chapter 132

ZAHRA-ROSEThe forest blurred around us, I could barely feel my feet anymore. Ashvin was running beside me, his hand still wrapped tightly around mine, his father’s pendant pressed into his other palm.Neither of us had spoken since we left. There was too much to say. Too much I didn’t understand.My mother was alive, my mother had willingly disappeared.And she had gone to Dark East.The same place ruled by Kairo, the same place where everything seemed to lead back to.I pushed harder.“Ashvin.” He looked at me. “We need to stop.”He shook his head.“We can’t.”“We’ve been running for hours.” I remind him.“I know.”“Your father told us to go.”“I know.”“Then we need to think.” That finally made him slow down.We stopped beneath a cluster of enormous trees. He turned toward me, breathing heavily.“What are you thinking?”I looked down at the pendant.“I’m thinking this is too easy.”His brows pulled together.“What?”“My mother being alive. Her being in Dark East. Your father sudden

Chapter 133

Dark East appeared just before sunset. I knew we had crossed the border before anyone said a word. The air changed, it became colder and heavier. Even Eira went quiet beneath my skin. I slowed my steps, staring at the enormous stone walls ahead of us. Dark East. The place I had spent so much time hearing about. The place where Kairo ruled. The place where my mother might be. Ashvin stopped beside me. “You okay?” I nodded. “No.” He almost smiled. “At least you’re honest.” I looked at the massive gates. “They’re open.” He followed my gaze. They were wide open and no guard or patrol was there like they wanted us to walk straight into the place. That was wrong, very wrong. “Kairo knows we’re coming,” I said. Ashvin’s hand moved toward his weapon. “Then we don’t give him the satisfaction of knowing we’re afraid.” “I’m not afraid.” “I know.” We stepped forward. The moment we crossed the border, the pendant in Ashvin’s hand grew warm. I looked at it

ZAHRA-ROSEThe moment we stepped inside the palace, the doors slammed shut behind us. I turned and it was locked. Of course.“Interesting welcome,” Ashvin muttered.I ignored him, my eyes were already searching the enormous hall. Dark East had always been described as dangerous.Cold and unforgiving.But this place didn’t feel dangerous. It felt abandoned.There were no servants, no guards and not a single voices.Only rows of ancient portraits covering the walls.I walked closer. The first portrait showed a woman holding a white wolf pup.The second showed a man standing beside her. Then another. And another.Seven portraits. Seven couples. Seven different generations.My breathing stopped.“Ashvin.”He came beside me.His eyes moved across the portraits.“Those are the protectors.”I nodded.But something bothered me.I stepped closer to the first portrait.There was writing beneath it.I brushed the dust away.THE FIRST WHITE WOLF AND THE FIRST PROTECTOR.I moved to the second.THE

Chapter 135

ZAHRA-ROSEI charged.The first wolf barely had time to raise his weapon before I slammed into him. His body flew across the hall. Another came from my left. I turned.My claws caught his chest and sent him crashing into the wall.Another. Another.They kept coming.But this time, I wasn’t fighting blindly. I knew who I was. I knew what they wanted.And I knew exactly who was standing beside me.Ashvin.He moved like he had been born for this.Every time someone came toward me, he was there.Every time someone came toward him, I was there.We didn’t need to speak.We simply moved. Together.A wolf lunged toward my mother. I saw him.Ashvin saw him too.But I got there first.I caught the wolf by his throat and slammed him against the ground.My mother stared at me.“Zahra.”I looked back.“Stay behind us.”She shook her head.“No.”I blinked.She reached for something beneath her dress.A blade.My eyes widened.“You can fight?”She smiled.“I raised you, didn’t I?”Then she attacked.

Chapter 136

ZAHRA-ROSEAsael stared at us. For the first time since I had known him, there was no smugness in his eyes.Only fear, good.I wanted him to feel it. I took another step forward.“You lied to everyone.”His jaw tightened.“I did what was necessary.”“You manipulated Ashvin.”“I gave him the truth his family had hidden.”“No.”My voice echoed through the hall.“You gave him half the truth.”Ashvin stepped beside me.“And you used my family against her.”Asael laughed bitterly.“Your family didn’t need much convincing.”Ashvin’s eyes darkened.“My family believed I was meant to kill her.”“Because that’s what they were taught.”“By you.”Asael shrugged.“By generations before me.”I felt something cold settle inside my chest.“Then this ends with you.”Asael looked at me.“You think you’re powerful because those wolves bowed to you?”He laughed.“You’ve only awakened the first layer.”My eyes narrowed.“What does that mean?”He reached beneath his coat.Ashvin immediately moved.But Asa

THE CHOICEZAHRA-ROSEFor several seconds, nobody moved.The ancient prophecy lay open between us.The last line seemed to burn into my mind.And together, they will end the bloodline that hunted them.I read it again.Then again.Something about it bothered me.Not the part about Ashvin.Not even the part about the seal.The word end.Eira stirred inside me.You feel it too.“Yes.”Ashvin looked at me.“What?”I pointed at the page.“This.”His eyes followed my finger.“The bloodline.”My mother went still.Ashvin’s expression hardened.“What about it?”I looked at her.“You said the original prophecy was changed.”She nodded slowly.“By your father.”“Why?”She didn’t answer immediately.That scared me more than anything.“Mother.”She closed the book.“Because the original prophecy wasn’t a promise.”My stomach tightened.“What was it?”“A warning.”The room seemed to grow colder.Ashvin stepped closer.“About what?”My mother looked between us.“About what happens when the White W

THE LAST BATTLEZAHRA-ROSEWe charged. The creature moved first.It was faster than something that large had any right to be.One second it stood across the hall.The next it was on us.I barely had time to react.A massive claw swung toward my chest.I dropped. The claw sliced through the air above my head.Ashvin attacked from the side.His weapon struck the creature’s ribs.A burst of white light exploded from the impact.The creature roared. It stumbled backward.I sprang to my feet.“Again!”Ashvin nodded.We moved together. Not separately.Not as two fighters standing beside each other. Together. He struck high.I struck low.The creature twisted away from him, straight into me.I drove my claws into its shoulder.Its skin was freezing.Not cold.Freezing.The instant my claws touched it, pain shot through my arm.I screamed.Eira snarled inside me.Let me.My eyes flashed white.I pushed deeper.The creature shrieked.Black smoke poured from beneath my claws.“What are you?” I

Chapter 139

EPILOGUEZAHRA-ROSESix months later.The palace no longer looked like a place that had survived a war.The broken windows had been replaced.The walls had been rebuilt.The courtyard had been cleared of rubble.And where weapons had once been raised against one another, wolves now gathered every evening beneath the same moon.But some things couldn’t be rebuilt with stone. Some wounds needed truth.Some needed time. And some needed answers.I stood inside the archive.The same room that had once terrified me.The same room where I had first heard the voices.The same room where I had discovered that almost everything I believed about myself had been a lie.Ashvin stood beside me.He had become annoyingly fond of following me everywhere.I glanced at him.“You know you don’t have to come with me every time I enter this room.”“Yes, I do.”“Why?”“Because the last time you came here alone, you discovered a thousand-year conspiracy.”I smiled.“That happened once.”“Once was enough.”I
