Celine’s pov. The magic no longer whispered—it sang.It curled around my fingers when I reached for it, alive, clear, and pulsing like a heartbeat I hadn’t realized had always been there. For weeks I’d been too consumed by grief to notice the way it had changed, the way it now obeyed my will rather than testing it. It waited patiently, no longer wild and erratic, but tamed. Or, perhaps, I was the one who had finally come into balance.Kaine still walked on eggshells around me, even though I’d told him I forgave him. I meant it. Not just with my words but in the way I held him that night after the visit to the island. We wept for our child, but we also clung to each other like lifelines. It didn’t erase the pain, but it made breathing bearable again.Still, I knew he feared I’d break again.The truth was—I had broken. But not in a way that left me in pieces. I’d shattered, reformed, and in the cracks, something ancient and powerful had filled me. Something that had waited generations

Kaine’s pov. The morning started quiet. Too quiet. Celine was out by the orchard, her fingertips brushing the blooming lavender stalks as she practiced drawing magic into her core. From where I stood in my office, I could feel her energy pulsing gently through the earth—a steady hum beneath my skin like a second heartbeat. Controlled now. Powerful. She had learned to cradle it like a flame cupped in her palm.And yet, despite the beauty of the moment, my gut twisted with unease.A knock sounded—sharp and quick.“Come in,” I called, already knowing it would be Oscar.He stepped inside, his face set in grim lines. That alone was enough to send me on edge. Oscar didn’t rattle easily.“What is it?” I asked, pushing away from the window.“We think we’ve almost found her,” he said, getting straight to the point.My pulse slowed, then slammed.“Tess?”He nodded. “Not directly. But we’ve tracked a trail of residual energy—dark, twisted stuff. There’s a region just past the Vale where the tre

Kaine’s pov. We knew the moment she crossed the boundary. The trees trembled. Birds shrieked and took flight in erratic spirals. The ground beneath my boots buzzed like it had swallowed lightning. Tess was near.“North ridge,” Oscar muttered from beside me, crouched low to the mossy ground. His fingers touched a snapped twig—fresh. He looked up with a grim nod. “She’s just ahead.”The scent followed—iron, scorched herbs, decay. Unmistakable. It curled through the forest like a snake, invasive and wrong.My hand tightened on the hilt of my sword. “She wants us to find her.”Lia, one of our best trackers, shifted beside me. “Then let’s not disappoint her.”I gave the order silently. Ten of us in total—four wolves, six warriors. No Celine. I’d made that clear.She had insisted, of course. She was ready. Stronger than she’d ever been. But I wasn’t willing to risk her. Not for this. Tess was mine to catch. Mine to end.We moved quickly, silent as wind through the branches. The sun had beg

Celine’s pov. The steps down to the cellar were colder than I remembered. Stone groaned softly beneath my feet, as if it, too, had suffered long enough. Runes lit the path in dull blue glimmers, flickering each time I passed them, reacting to the hum of magic pulsing just beneath my skin.I wasn’t sure what I expected to find down here. I only knew I had to see her.Two guards flanked the heavy iron door. Both straightened as I approached, but neither spoke. They knew better. I nodded once, and one stepped aside to undo the layers of wards and locks. Silver clinked. Charms buzzed as they unraveled. The door swung open with a reluctant groan. The smell hit first—damp earth, blood, and something acrid like burnt herbs and rot.Tess sat in the center of the cell, bound by silver-dipped shackles and spells Kaine had approved himself. Her arms were chained behind her, her legs crossed awkwardly in front of her. Magic-suppressing cuffs bit into her wrists, and a ring of salt and ash encircl

Celine’s pov. Murmurs rippled like a crack in ice.“She could be lying,” I continued. “It’s what she does best. But until we know for sure, we have to assume the threat is real.”“What would they want now?” someone asked. “With Tess locked away?”“The same thing she wanted,” I said. “Chaos. Power. Revenge.”“She killed threatened the safety of our children,” another growled. “If there are more like her—”“We don’t know that yet,” I said, raising a hand. “But if they exist, we’ll be ready.”Kaine finally spoke then, “The security measures have already begun. We’ll be unpredictable in our patrols. The pack will stay inside warded zones after dusk. We will not be caught unprepared.”“And what about you?” one of the older matriarchs asked, eyes settling on me. “If there’s more coming… if this is only the beginning… what will you do, Celine?”I stood then, not out of drama, but necessity.“I’ll be ready too,” I said. “For whatever comes. For however it comes. You trusted me once before. T
