บททั้งหมดของ Alpha Kael And The Crimson Bloodline : บทที่ 91 - บทที่ 100

Ashwood felt heavier today.Even the wind seemed to hesitate as it moved through the ancient trees. Clouds hung low, thick and unmoving, as if the sky itself knew what was coming.Inside the Draven estate, a strange silence blanketed every hallway — not fear, but the kind of quiet armies fall into before the final war.Rhea stood at the window of Kael’s room, her fingers gripping the frame as she watched warriors sharpening blades in the courtyard below. Violet’s witches painted sigils across their forearms. Marek carried crates of ironwood stakes. Even the youngest Dravens looked older today.Kael entered the room behind her.“Rhea,” he said softly.She didn’t turn. “It feels like the forest is watching us.”Kael came up beside her, gaze strong but tired. “It is. The Oak knows what’s coming.”“The ritual…” Rhea whispered. “I keep thinking maybe there’s another way.”Kael shook his head. “There isn’t.”Rhea exhaled shakily. “Whoever goes into the Dream Realm… won’t come back.”Kael di

The portal crackled and pulsed like an open wound in the world, the air thick with smoke, shadow, and a vibrating hum that scraped against bone. Light twisted violently, curling like serpents before shooting outward in jagged, almost sentient streams.Rhea’s voice shattered the moment.“FENRAK!”It wasn’t just a scream—it was a prayer, a plea, a raw ache that tore itself from her throat.Kael’s eyes went wide. He lunged instinctively, arms reaching forward, as if sheer force could halt whatever had gripped Fenrak. Violet’s hands clamped onto his arm, cold and firm, stopping him just in time. Her eyes were wide, shimmering, reflecting the chaos of the Rift.“Kael, don’t—!” she hissed, though her voice trembled under the strain.Marek’s shout came next, slicing through the sound of the wind and the crackling portal.“LOOK! LOOK THERE!”And then everyone saw it.Fenrak’s body was being yanked backward, clawing at the jagged edges of the portal’s rim. His legs kicked, arms flailed, finger

Darkness was the first thing she tasted.Not air.Not sound.Not pain.Just darkness—thick, swallowing, almost alive—pressing against her vision like a second skin.Rhea inhaled, sharp and shallow as glass scraping her lungs. Every breath burned. Her head throbbed with a heavy pulse, as if something inside her skull was trying to break out. When she tried to lift a hand, she heard the clink first—cold, metallic, merciless—before the pain followed.Chains.Her eyes blinked, once, twice, and the blurry world slowly sharpened into shapes. The ceiling above her was stone, cracked and damp, as if water had been dripping from it for centuries. The air was stale. Heavy. She could feel spells embedded in it—like breathing through layers of invisible thorns.Her wrists strained again, and this time she felt the burn sharply. Silver cuffs. But not ordinary silver. Runes glowed faintly across their surface—red, old, blood-bound. The kind of magic that belonged to witches who didn’t fear conseque

Darkness clung to him like a second skin.It wasn’t the peaceful kind of dark—the one that came with sleep or the closing of tired eyes. This darkness was thick, wet, suffocating, alive. It pressed into Marek’s skull, seeped down his throat, crawled into his lungs, turning each breath into a slow, burning punishment.A low, distant drip echoed somewhere.Drip… drip… drip…Time moved strangely. Maybe minutes had passed. Maybe hours. Maybe days.His body ached in scattered fragments rather than a whole. Every joint screamed, every muscle twitched, and his wrists—his wrists felt as though they were being torn from the bone.Chains.That realization struck like a blade.Marek tried to move. The harsh rattle of iron answered him. Cold metal had eaten into his wrists. The chains were pulled taut above his head, suspending his arms in a cruel stretch that forced his chest forward. His toes barely touched the ground. His shoulders were on fire, every movement threatening to tear them from the

Darkness did not simply surround Kael.It breathed around him.It entered his lungs with every shallow breath and wrapped around his limbs like invisible chains, heavier than the iron that bound his physical body far below in the Order’s prison. Somewhere, in another reality, he was bleeding, poisoned, fading — but here, in this place between existence and oblivion, his mind wandered free.Or perhaps…It had been summoned.His consciousness drifted slowly through thick black smoke, each step echoing as if he were walking inside an empty world’s heartbeat. The earth beneath his feet felt wrong. It was warm, but not with life — it pulsed like a wounded creature struggling to stay conscious. Charred roots twisted beneath the surface like veins, stretching and wrapping around invisible bones of ancient land.Trees towered overhead, vast and skeletal. Their bark was black and cracked open, glowing faintly from within, as if something hot and living hid inside their hollow forms. No leaves.
