Semua Bab The Last Ruby Wolf - Live as a Queen or Die as a Monster: Bab 141 - Bab 147

Zeke's POVI felt different as I raced back to the fight. The vampire prince's blood pumped through my veins, making me stronger, faster. My vision was sharper in the darkness. I could hear heartbeats from far away.The ritual spot came into view. Chaos everywhere. My sister Sienna stood in the middle, facing our mother—the Midnight Queen. Golden light poured from Sienna's hands while black fire exploded from our mother's.I had to help her. For years, Mother had used me, controlled me with her dark magic. The black lines on my skin had faded, but the memory of that control still burned."Hold on, Sienna," I whispered. "Your brother is coming."A shadow moved beside me—Ronan, the Phantom Wolf. Once an enemy, now a friend."Took you long enough," he said, his eyes never leaving the fight below. "Caius's blood treatment worked?"I flexed my hands, feeling new power rus

Caius's POVI was there when the Ruby Wolves were born. Not many remember that vampires helped make them, but I do. I was only a young prince then, barely two hundred years old. Now, watching Kieran clutch the book that had swallowed the Midnight Queen—and possibly Sienna—I felt every one of my thousand years weighing on me."We need to get her back," Kieran growled, his purple eyes still sparkling with curse magic.I nodded, but my attention was split. The ritual spot was still crackling with dark energy. The Queen might be trapped, but her power remained. And something else was coming through the tears in reality—shadowy forms, ancient and hungry."The journal won't hold her for long," I said, my voice steady despite my fear. "And we have a bigger problem."Kieran looked up, finally noticing the dark forms forming around us. "What are those?""The Queen didn't just want power," I explained, drawing my backup blade. "She wanted to bring back the god of destruction—the entity that cre

The True EnemyKieran's POVI watched in awe as Sienna stepped through the tear in reality. But this wasn't the Sienna I knew. Her eyes glowed blood-red, and power rolled off her in waves that I could feel against my skin."Sienna?" I called again, stumbling to my feet despite my wounds.The shadow animals that had been attacking us suddenly froze. Then, one by one, they turned toward her, their many eyes fixed on her glowing form."What's happening?" Ronan asked, limping to my side.Before I could answer, the shadows attacked—not us, but Sienna. They rushed toward her like a black tidal wave.I tried to move, to help her, but my body wouldn't answer. I'd lost too much blood.Then something incredible happened. Sienna raised one hand, and fire—ruby-red and blinding—erupted from her fingers. The shadows screamed as they burned away to nothing."She's... different," Caius said, appearing beside us. His old ritual had failed, but he was still standing."What did the journal do to her?" I

Ronan's POVThe world burst in blinding light as Sienna released her power. I threw myself over Kieran's unconscious body, sheltering him from the blast. When I looked up, Sienna was facing her twin brother Zeke, whose eyes glowed a strange golden color I'd never seen before.Then she fell.I was moving before I even realized it, racing across the wrecked ritual site. But Zeke reached her first, his golden light wrapping around her like a blanket."Don't touch her," I growled, skidding to a stop.Zeke's head snapped up. "She needs help. The ritual drained her.""I know what she needs," I said, memories rushing back with each passing second. "Better than you do."The Blood Moon still hung overhead, its red light calling to my wolf. But there was something else too—a pull toward Sienna that I'd felt since the moment we met. A connection I couldn't explain until now."You don't remember, do you?" Zeke asked, his golden eyes narrowing. "What they did to you. What they took from you."More
