Chapter 81 – Father and SonAlejandro’s POVWhen Giovanni finally walked through the doors, my chest loosened for the first time all day. I didn’t even try to hide the smile on my face.“Giovanni,” I said, stepping forward.He grinned, reached out for me and pulled me into a tight hug. For a moment, everything and everyone around us didn't matter. I held him, listening to his heartbeat, as if checking to see if this was real. He was here with me. Safe.“I’m glad you made it,” I said happily when I pulled back.“I told you I would come,” he smirked, but then his expression shifted. “Alejandro… I want to see my father.”His tone was steady, he was definitely ready for whatever, no hesitation at all. I searched his face, but I saw nothing but determination. I nodded my head in agreement and I turned to the guards. “Take us to the cell.”The halls were quiet as we walked. I saw Giovanni’s shoulders become stiffer with every step. My wolf stirred, uneasy, like it could already sense what

Chapter 83 - The BondGiovanni’s POVGabrielle looked around at us like she was trapped. She kept wringing her hands and shaking her head again and again.“You’re wrong,” she said quietly, in a shaky voice. “I can’t be what you’re saying I am. I don’t even know what happened back there. I didn’t do anything. I just stood in front of Crystal, and then—then it happened.”My father leaned forward, his expression was hard but calm. “That’s exactly why. The power came naturally to you. That mark on your skin—it’s not decoration and it’s not random. It’s proof you were chosen long before today.”“I’m not chosen,” Gabrielle whispered, tears welling in her eyes. “I’m just me. I don’t fight, I don’t lead, I don’t—” She shook her head and hugged herself tightly.Alejandro cut in, stepping protectively between her and my father. “The guards told me she almost collapsed last time. She could barely stand after the shield broke. And now you are telling me she has to face Marco again? That’s not str

Chapter 85 – The Hollow TunnelsGabrielle’s POVThe Hollow Tunnels were so cold that I was shivering. The air was heavy and smelled old, like dust and mold mixed together. The walls were damp and narrow, and water kept dripping from above, hitting the stony ground.The ground was stony with little rocks that made it hard to walk without stumbling. But it wasn’t the tunnels that scared me most.It was the visions.Every time I blinked, I saw Crystal.She was chained against a stone wall, her hair was tangled, and her face very pale. Marco stood in front of her.“You think they will find you, Crystal?” His smile was sharp and cruel. “They will never reach this place alive. And if they do—” He raised his hand, realising dark energy from his palm. “—you’ll be dead before they take their next breath.”Crystal screamed, tugging at the chains. My chest clenched so tight I almost collapsed.“Gabrielle.”Giovanni’s voice came from behind me. He sounded calm, but I could tell he was worried.

Chapter 87 – The SealGabrielle’s POVMy whole body burned like fire, the emerald light spreading everywhere from my wrist. The mark pulsed in rhythm with my heartbeat, faster and faster, until I thought my skin would tear open.The massive stone door stood in front of us, carved with twisted symbols I didn’t recognize. Every line glowed faintly green, the same color as my mark.“It’s reacting to me,” I whispered, in a shaky voice.Alejandro stepped closer, scanning the carvings. His hand hovered just above the stone. “No. It’s reacting to your blood.” He looked at me, his eyes were dark and heavy with either anger or guilt. “This door won’t open without you.”I heard Giovanni mutter something about Crystal, but I didn’t hear what he said. All of a sudden, “no,” he snapped. “We are not using her. You don’t know what it will do to her.”A deep laugh filled the chamber, vibrating through my bones. It was Marco laughing.“You are smarter than you look, Giovanni. Yes… Gabrielle must bleed

Chapter 89 ‐ Between Life and Betrayal Alejandro’s POV The room became very quiet when the healers moved Gabrielle onto the big bed. Her skin was pale—too pale—and for a second everyone thought it was over.One of the healers checked her pulse, then straightened up with a heavy sound. “There’s nothing. It’s like she’s not going to make it.”Lucian pushed the healer aside without thinking. “Keep trying. Don’t stop. Do you hear me? She’s not gone!” He bent down and put his hand over Gabrielle’s chest, shaking. “Come on, Gaby. Fight.”Giovanni stood by the doorway with his hands in his hair, not knowing where to look. Crystal was on her bed shivering uncontrollably. I could feel the panic like a weight in my chest.Then the healer’s voice changed. “Wait.” He pressed harder on her wrist. “There—it's faint, but it’s there. Her heart is still beating.”Lucian’s whole body relaxed in a horrible, trembling way. “Good gracious.” He lowered his forehead to Gabrielle’s. “Stay with me baby. Com
