All Chapters of Blind Female Warrior: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Kalilah POVAfter that conversation I realized I was in love with him. I think I always knew it but now I had to tell him for good.The first person I talked to about it was Kiran. Or that was the plan but I ended up not being able to find him. It was probably for the best because if I told my brother he was going to make a big deal about it.Was it a big deal? I suppose it was. This was me confessing I loved someone, a man whom I had been resisting and running from for over a year now. Not him in particular but I was running from my true feelings for the man.If I couldn’t talk to my brother about it first then I was going to talk to Damon. He was the one I had to confess to anyway.To think I was going to be telling that man I loved him. The last time I told someone I loved them, it ended so terribly. I ended up killing Axel with my bare hands, more or less, but I was scared. What if I got hurt again?What if saying it out loud made it real in a way I couldn’t take back? What if it

Kalilah POVThe last thing I expected was for everyone to accept me.Later, after the announcement—after the murmurs, the tension, and the howls—I stood just outside the gathering circle, fingers resting on the railing. The blindfold was tight against my skin, but I held my head high.I heard his footsteps before he spoke.“You came,” I said.“Of course I did.”“They didn’t tear me apart.”“They wouldn’t have dared.”I huffed. “The last thing I expected was for everyone to accept me.”“They didn’t all,” he said gently.“No. But enough did.”There was a pause.“They saw what I see.”I tilted my head. “Which is?”“Power. Fire. A Luna who doesn’t beg to be seen.”I snorted softly. “Still blind, though.”“Still the clearest-sighted person in the room.”I let out a breath, almost a laugh. “You really like the poetic lines lately.”“They’re all true.”“Damon,” I said, voice a little rough, “do you think they’ll actually follow me?”“They already are.”“Even the ones who whispered?”“They we

Kalilah POVIt was crazy to think how strong our bond was getting.I felt him before he even stepped into a room now. Like a pull in my chest. Steady. Sure. Unmistakable.It didn’t make any sense how quickly it had deepened—how safe I felt with him, how easy it was to lean into something I spent so long resisting. But maybe that was the nature of real bonds. They didn’t follow rules or timelines. They just… were.Sometimes he wouldn’t even say a word. Just brush his hand against mine or sit beside me quietly, and I’d feel more seen than I ever had before.He didn’t treat me like I was fragile. He didn’t tiptoe around the things I’d lost. He saw me as I was now—blind, bruised, healing—and he still looked at me like I was whole.Like I was worth loving.And for the first time in a long time… I believed him.Maybe that’s what real love does. It reminds you of who you are, even when the world tries to make you forget.With Damon, I didn’t have to pretend. I didn’t have to be the strongest

Kalilah POVNowadays, I have a lot of free time on my hands. Sure, I did train the younger ones and practice my skills, but the fact was I had a lot more free time now that I wasn’t on the run from Axel—the man who had tried to end my life so many times.There were still moments I caught myself listening for footsteps that weren’t there, mapping every room I entered like I might need to escape it at a moment’s notice. Old habits didn’t vanish just because the danger had. But the threat was gone, or at least far enough removed that I could finally breathe without bracing for impact.Some days, I didn’t know what to do with the quiet. I’d spent so long surviving that I never imagined what came after. What life might look like without someone hunting me down, without adrenaline setting the rhythm of my heart.I was learning to sit with stillness. To let the silence be something soft instead of sharp. I read more. Took longer walks. Let me be curious again. Damon said it was good for me t

Damon POVThings were good in the pack.The dissenters had been eliminated, and everyone else was accepting of Kalilah.I had no problem if they didn’t care for her, but to actively conspire against me wasn’t something I was willing to put up with. It was why I had eliminated them, refusing to allow them to exist after conspiring against me.They were free to have their opinions, quiet ones. But to conspire against me? To spread poison and try to divide the very foundation of what we were building here?No.That was a line they crossed, and I didn’t flinch when it came time to draw consequences.I gave them a choice: loyalty or exile.Some took exile.The ones who didn’t… well, they aren’t a problem anymore.Because I don’t play politics when it comes to her.Kalilah may be blind, but she sees more than most of them ever will.She’s fierce. Steady. And more loyal than any of the bastards who whispered in backrooms and tried to question her place here.I didn’t take a mate just to prot
