41. Chains and Faith

Rhea’s POV Darkness had teeth. It gnawed at the corners of her mind, whispering despair as the chains bit into her wrists. The stone floor beneath her was cold, the air damp and stinking of rot. Alder had shoved her into this place hours ago—maybe days; time no longer mattered. Pain licked through her body, bruises blossoming where she’d been struck, but her thoughts weren’t on the pain. They were on him. Kael. Her lips curved despite the ache, a fragile smile blooming through the tears that streaked her face. Foolish, maybe, to cling to hope in a place like this. Foolish to believe that one man could stand against the tide of monsters that hunted her. But Rhea’s heart knew something her mind couldn’t deny: Kael would come. He always did. She remembered the first night, when she thought the wolves in the woods would tear her apart. He’d stood between her and death, blade flashing, eyes burning with fury. She’d seen him bloodied, broken, yet never faltering when it came to her.

42. An Unlikely Alliance

The night pressed heavy over Ashwood, its silence broken only by the restless sighs of the forest. A pale moon cut through the treetops, silvering the ground where Kael stood, arms crossed, eyes hard as granite. Across from him, Marek waited in composed stillness, his cloak brushing the dirt, his face half-hidden in shadow. Violet lingered between them, her fingers nervously tracing the edge of her sleeve, her violet eyes flaring faintly with the remnants of her spell.Kael’s voice broke the stillness, low and sharp.“Will you help us, Marek?”For a long moment, Marek said nothing. His gaze lingered on the treeline as if weighing the very air before he turned back to Kael. “For now, yes. But understand this—” His tone hardened. “Rhea’s greatest threat isn’t Varek. It’s Eloria. The prophecy binds her. The Grand Magestress will never let her go, not while she breathes. If you wish to save her, Alpha, you must do more than fight Varek. You must find a way to take her far from Eloria’s re

43. The Hollow Threat

The whispers began at dawn.Ashwood was no stranger to strange noises in the night—the forests that ringed the town had always belonged to the wolves, and the wolves were never silent. Their howls rolled through the pines with the moon, sometimes mournful, sometimes wild, and the townsfolk had long ago learned to sleep through them.But this was different.The sound that woke the children and rattled the shutters was no wolf. It was too guttural, too ragged, like the echo of a scream that had been buried alive. Mothers clutched their children tighter in the dark. Men lit lamps and peered from windows but saw only shadows thickening at the treeline. No eyes glowed, no predator prowled into view—just silence, broken by the ragged cry again, sharp enough to feel like it tore at the marrow of the bone.By morning, fear had sunk its claws into Ashwood.The market that usually thrummed with chatter moved in hushed tones. Farmers unloaded crates with darting eyes. The butchers sharpened thei

44. The Chains of Dusk

The farmhouse was silent.Rhea pressed her back against the cold stone wall, every nerve in her body trembling. She had watched the guards for days, memorizing their steps, their lazy voices, their carelessness. And finally—tonight—there was a gap.Her chance.She slipped through the door, bare feet brushing against the rough wooden floor. The air outside hit her skin, sharp and fresh compared to the stale stink of the farmhouse. For a moment she just breathed it in—freedom.Then she ran.Her legs carried her faster than she thought they could, dress whipping around her knees, hair flying wild. The trees stretched tall above her, leaves whispering as if urging her forward. She leapt across roots, stumbled through thorns, scraped her palms on branches—but she didn’t stop.Every step pushed her closer to Ashwood.Closer to Kael.The thought lit a fire inside her chest. Her heart hammered, her breath burned, but she kept going. The taste of freedom was almost real—she could see rooftops
