All Chapters of Marked By Midnight : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Lunessa's POVWeeks blurred into months, and for a while, everything felt normal, beautifully, quietly normal.Until one morning, I woke up to find Shaelith sick. Again. The second time.It rattled me. Of the two, I always assumed it would be Seraphira who might fall ill, she’s softer, gentler, more sensitive to everything, but no, it was Shaelith. My strong one.Before I could so much as panic, Seraphira had already healed her sister with a quiet touch. Shaelith stirred, sat up, and smiled like nothing had happened, but something in me didn't settle.I couldn’t shake it. So, I did what any mother would, I drew a blood sample and sent it to the lab for testing. I told myself it was just to be sure, to calm my thoughts.Two days later, the results came in, perfectly healthy. No anomalies or concerns, everything is normal.And yet the unrest in my chest didn’t ease. I watched Shaelith move, talk, even laugh, she was fine, but there was a hollowness in my peace.“Relax, she's stronger tha

Lunessa's POV I’d done everything, pulled every string. I even begged my uncle, hoping his political reach would help us get Velmira. But not even he could pull it through, it was like chasing smoke in a storm.Desperate to ensure Shaelith wasn’t being affected by it, I kept returning to the lab. Lucien and I ran test after test. He never once complained, he was genuinely helpful.There were moments when Seraphira’s healing made Shaelith breathe easier, sit up straighter, but they never lasted. Her body kept giving up on her.Eventually, she couldn’t stand without trembling. Just walking from her bed to the window left her drained, curled up under the sheets for the rest of the day. Medications did little.Then one night, I was jerked awake by the soft creak of floorboards. I looked at their bed, it was empty.Faint footsteps echoed from the bathroom. I assumed she was easing herself, but when she didn’t return after several minutes, I got up.The door was ajar, and there she was. Be

Azrik’s POVLife has been a wreck for the past year. One long, dragging wreck.Kaelina found out I’d been paying Evander, her former lover, to please her, to keep her content enough to keep the peace.She threw a fit when she discovered it, tore through the palace like a storm in silk, but honestly? That didn't break me.The council's began to panic, trying to hold the marriage together like it wasn’t already dead in every way that mattered. They started whispering about lineage and public image and the sanctity of union.But Kaelina and I? We both knew the truth. This was never a marriage, it was a political illusion, and now a crumbling one.Then the attacks began, subtle, targeted strikes from a supposedly dead Alpha, aimed at Velgrath’s borders. When the reports reached me, I didn’t hesitate. I left with a handful of soldiers. Draven came, of course, he always does.We fought them outside the city, in the shadows of the forest. They were scattered, feral, and fast, but something

Lunessa's POVBy morning, I couldn’t waste another second, I had to start the preparations.Lucien arrived just after dawn, pushing in equipment borrowed from the hospital. The wheels of the machines clinked softly against the stone floor.“What if we start the chemo and he doesn’t show up?” Lucien asked quietly, pausing by the doorway. “Are we… are we then going to use her sister?”I took a deep breath. “He’ll come,” I said firmly. “Azrik will come. I know he will.”Lucien gave a tight nod and began wheeling the machine into place.I administered the sedation myself. We were starting with chemotherapy radiation, a brutal but necessary conditioning regimen. It would destroy the diseased marrow in Shaelith’s body and suppress her immune system, creating a clean slate for the transplant. Without it, the donor cells couldn’t survive.As the treatment began, I held her hand. Shaelith whimpered but didn’t cry. She was in pain, but not once did she scream.She clenched her little fists, swe

Azrik's POVAfter that call, there was no time to hesitate. Draven offered to go with me, but I declined. His presence would only slow me down. If Lunessa needed me, then I had to be there as soon as possible.No one knew I left, except Draven. I moved fast, faster than I ever had before. The air around me blurred as I surged forward, almost ripping through time itself. I wasn't running. I was vanishing and appearing.When I caught sight of the red Hyacinths blooming along the roadside, I didn’t stop, I simply reached out and grabbed them as I passed. My fist clenched around their stems. I didn’t even pause to check if I crushed them.Hours passed like minutes, and yet the weight in my chest only grew heavier. My bones ached from the strain of speed. By nightfall, exhaustion clawed at me, demanding surrender. I collapsed under the vast canopy of an old tree. My breath came in uneven gulps, my heart thundered like war drums. So I gave in, just for a moment.Before the first light of
