AlruinI looked around after a few hours and frowned.“Cain, have you seen Malric?” I asked.He shook his head, “No, not since he walked away hours ago. He must have found something else to do, else he’d have returned a lot sooner.” I sighed, my heart was uneasy about Malric being out of his comfort zone, in a town like this where magic reigned supreme. The courtyard Cain and I were training was surrounded by the city’s guards, for my own safety, they said. Word was spreading about the return of the blood bearer a bit too quickly. Some people stared too long, some with fascination, some hope, some disbelief, most hesitation. My skin crawled with goosebumps whenever these stares lingered too long and I struggled to avoid them. I was never used to being the center of attraction. “Hey,” Cain called, brushing my sweaty arm with his palm, “I’m sure Malric is fine out there, you need to focus here.”I nodded, “We’ve been trying to do this particular skill or spell you’re talking about,

Malric Cain rushed past me and a surge of energy suddenly burst through my veins, jerking my cold limbs back to life. I sprang forward, overtaking Cain, but there was no way either of us were making it on time. As the beast’s massive claw was inches away from Alruin, something suddenly happened. As though he had eyes on the back of his head, Alruin ducked out of his way, sinking his claws into the beast’s belly. I stopped, shocked at how quick his reflexes were. I saw the shock on Cain’s face too and he started muttering something under his breath. The beast howled in pain and Alruin, with blood-soaked claws, dug his claws into the beast's head, killing it instantly.He panted heavily and closed his eyes. When he finally opened them, he stared at me impassively and for a second, I couldn’t see any trace of the gentle Alruin I once knew in those cold eyes. “We need to find a way to shut the leak through which they came in,” he said, walking past Cain and I. “I have a feeling so m

Alruin We were so close to kissing.I was conscious, my body wanted it, my wolf desired it and I had almost let it happen, had it not been for Cain. What the hell was wrong with me? This wasn’t the time to indulge in such frivolities and with Malric of all people? Goddess, Alruin! You need to get a grip of yourself. As I walked out of the room that morning, it became more obvious to me that Cain didn’t understand whatever chaos was hidden in the magic I allegedly possessed. I saw the fear in his eyes last night. He clearly had no idea of what I was capable of and neither was I. Maybe it was time we actually got moving. Only Marla would be able to help me now. I stopped when I saw Nyari standing at the end of the hallway, a calm smile stretched across her lips. She waved at me and I joined her. “What are you doing here, Nyari?”“I could barely keep up with Malric and Cain’s jogging. I got worn out after a few minutes and decided to head back to my hut,” her lively eyes suddenly da

AlruinSomething was off.I could feel it in the way the ground rumbled beneath my feet. Why the hell was I barefooted anyway? What town was this? I looked around, unable to recall how exactly I had gotten here. The buildings I could see were dilapidated and abandoned, its roofs and walls besmirched by wind and time. I was a hundred percent sure that in all our travels, we hadn’t crossed this town, not once. Malric had to be in one of these buildings, maybe he would be able to make some sense of what the fuck was actually going in here. The air was bleak, as if the very life had been snuffed out of it. The dusty town was windy, making the air brown and hazy, forcing me to cover a palm over my eyes. I edged forward and suddenly heard a loud voice that rippled through the air and shook the ground, sending a shudder into my tired body.“You finally made it here.”I looked up, barely able to see the sky as the wind gushed past my face, “Who are you? And where am I?” “When the beasts

MalricI wasn’t angry at Alruin.The uncertainty that lurked in the air was unsettling. What was he becoming? Every city we entered, he seemed to draw more attention than the last and now, everyone was literally obsessed over him. Those hooded figures could have killed him in there if I hadn’t stuck my hand into the stupid portal, regardless of their rash warnings. I scoffed, if the blood bearer was so sacred, why had they almost let him bloody die? And they had the fucking balls to judge Alruin for the purity of his heart rather than praising him? It was outrageous and the more I thought about it, it infuriated me more. I struggled to fall asleep that night in Nyari’s hut.“The pain won’t stop for a few days, but the herbs will do their best to mitigate the effects over the next few hours,” she said softly as she rose to her feet, her eyes laden with concern and open affection that made my nerves alert for some reason. “Are you sure you want to stay here? It’s very comfortable up t
