Chapter 70

One Week Later ~Damon’s Pov~ The silver chains burned. They always burned. Day and night, the pain never stopped. It kept Rex under control. It stopped me from changing form. It stopped me from doing anything… except stay alive in this cage. Not a cell. A cage. High Commander Valen made sure of that. He wanted the “Broken King” to be seen by everyone. A warning. A lesson. So here I was, in the middle of what used to be my throne room, locked inside a small silver cage. It was so tight I could barely stand. Around me, the Council officials went on with their work like I wasn’t even a person… just a piece of furniture. “The southern lands are under control,” someone said. “Governor Victor has brought order. No one is fighting back.” “And the work camps?” “They’re running well. The prisoners are working hard. There have been very few problems.” My people… turned into slaves. Just numbers to them. I closed my eyes and tried not to think about it. I tried not to think about an

~Victor’s Territory – Southern Lands~ Victor stood on the balcony of his new home, looking out over land that was supposed to be his reward. It should have felt like success. But instead, it felt empty. “Governor?” his new assistant said from the doorway. “The Council representatives are here for the inspection.” “Tell them I’ll be down soon.” The assistant left, and Victor stayed on the balcony, holding a glass of wine he couldn’t drink. He kept seeing her face. Selene, lying on the throne room floor, her silver eyes lifeless. He had rejected her once. Treated her like she meant nothing. And later, he helped the Council kill her. All for this, he thought, looking at his estate. Land, a title, power… A knock came at the door. “I said I’d be down soon—” “This isn’t about the inspection,” a woman said. A voice he recognized. Victor turned and saw Morgana standing in the doorway. “How did you get past my guards?” “Please. Your guards are weak,” she said, walking in like

Chapter 72

~Kael’s Territory – Eastern Borderlands~ Kael sat alone in his room, holding a bottle of whiskey. It was already half gone. He didn’t even know when he started drinking. The land the Council gave him was small and far away. It wasn’t a reward—it was more like a punishment disguised as one. But he felt like he deserved something even worse. He should have been locked up with Damon. Or dead like Selene. Instead, he was alive and free. And he had to live with the fact that he destroyed everything. Someone knocked on the door. He didn’t look up. “Go away.” The door still opened. Lyra stood there. She looked weak and tired, like she had escaped from the labor camps. The Council would probably be searching for her. “You shouldn’t be here,” Kael said. “I know.” She stepped inside anyway. “But I needed to see you. I needed answers.” “Answers to what?” "Why you did it. Why you betrayed us." Lyra's voice was steady, but her eyes were filled with pain. "We were pack, Kael. Family.

~The Broken King's Cage~Five months later.It has been five months since the Lycan Court was destroyed.Five months since Selene died.For five months, I wake up every morning wishing I didn’t.The silver cage is now my whole world. Sometimes they move me around—showing me off in different Council areas as a warning. Like, “Look what happens if you go against us. Even the powerful Alpha King can end up like this.”But most of the time, I stay here… in what used to be my throne room.I just watch the Council leaders do their work.I watch them change my world into something I don’t even recognize anymore.“The mines in the western lands are doing well,” someone said. “The prisoners are obeying.”My people… working until they die in the Council’s mines.I didn’t react anymore. I didn’t have the strength to care.“And what about the Broken King?” a new voice asked. It was a young woman, young, unfamiliar."Still breathing. Barely." This was Captain Ragnar, one of Valen's enforcers. "Why

~Victor's Estate - Southern Territories~Victor sat in his office, looking at reports he couldn’t concentrate on.He was the Governor of the Southern Territories—a powerful and respected position.But he had never felt this helpless before.A knock on the door broke his thoughts.“Come in.”His assistant, a young wolf named Shederack, walked in. “Sir, you have a visitor. She says it’s urgent.”“Who is it?”“She didn’t say her name. But…” Shederack paused. “She’s from the Council.”Victor felt a sudden drop in his stomach. “Send her in.”The woman who walked in stood out immediately. She was young, carried herself like a soldier, and had cold amber eyes. She looked around his office carefully, like she was taking note of everything.“Governor Victor,” she said. “I’m Commander Sera. High Commander Valen sent me to check on your progress.”“My territory is running well. We’re producing more, and there’s barely any resistance—”“I’m not here about production.” Sera sat down without asking

~Council Headquarters - High Commander Valen's Office~Valen listened to Commander Sera’s report with satisfaction.“Victor is compromised by guilt. He can still be useful, but he needs to be watched.”“Agreed. Keep him under surveillance. If he becomes a problem, remove him and replace him with someone more loyal.”“Yes, sir.” Sera checked her notes. “The labor camps are still producing well. The prisoners are—”“I don’t care about the prisoners. What about the Broken King?”“Still alive, but barely responding. Commander Sera tried to provoke him and got a small reaction, but overall he’s getting worse.”“How long does he have?”“At this rate… maybe a year. Probably less. He’s not eating properly, not sleeping. The silver chains are weakening him.”Valen frowned. “I want him alive. He’s too useful as a symbol.”“We could force-feed him. Put him on a medical plan.”“Do it. I’m not letting him die until I’m ready.” Valen stood and looked out the window. “What about the missing Shadow W

FLASHBACK - Five Months Ago - The Night of the Battle~Morvella’s Pov~I felt her die.I felt the Shadow Wolf’s life force flicker and fade like a candle in the wind.I was halfway through the portal when it happened, and the shock almost knocked me down.“No,” I whispered. “No, I’m too late.”But even as I thought it, I felt something else.A small spark. Very weak. Not from her—her wolf was gone, her bond broken, her body dying.The spark came from deeper.From her womb.The child, I realized in shock. She’s carrying a child.And that child—that impossible, powerful child—was refusing to let its mother go.I ran faster.The Lycan Court was full of chaos when I arrived. Council soldiers were everywhere, acting like they had already won. Bodies were scattered across the courtyard. There was smoke, blood, and the heavy smell of death in the air.In the throne room—I felt her there. The Shadow Wolf. She was lying on the floor, covered with a Council banner. Guards stood around, already

Chapter 77

~The Twilight Court - Arrival~The Twilight Court existed between worlds—neither fully mortal nor fully magical. A place where vampires and witches had built a fragile peace long ago.We arrived in the entrance hall, and guards immediately moved in around us.Vampires. Fast. Dangerous. Armed with silver and enchanted weapons.“Elder Morvella,” the captain said, recognizing me. “We weren’t expecting you.”“I need to see King Aldric. Now. It’s urgent.”“The King is—”“Will see me,” I cut in, pushing forward. Selene floated beside me, held by a transport spell. “Lives are on the line.”They didn’t stop me. They knew better.I walked through the palace—tall gothic arches, dark stone, and endless magical flames that never went out—until I reached the throne room.And there he was.Aldric, Vampire King of the Twilight Court.He was striking in a way only immortals could be. Tall, perfectly shaped, with a face like carved marble—sharp cheekbones, a strong jaw, and lips that could look either

Chapter 78

~The Fountain of Vitalis~The Fountain chamber was deep inside the Court, carved straight into living stone.The Fountain itself was ancient—older than vampires, witches, maybe even werewolves. Pure magic rose from the earth, glowing with a soft blue light that never faded.Its water could heal any injury, cure any sickness, even pull someone back from the edge of death.But it always demanded a price. Life force had to be given in return.Normally, the person being healed paid with their own years. But Selene was unconscious. She couldn’t choose.So the Fountain would take from someone else instead.“I’ll pay,” I said immediately.Cassian, the head healer, looked worried. “Elder Morvella, you’re already over three hundred years old. If it takes too much—”“Then I die saving someone worth it.” I placed Selene into the pool at the Fountain’s base. “Do it.”The moment she touched the water, it began to glow brighter.I felt it immediately—the Fountain pulling on life force to power the

Chapter 79

~Two Months After Waking - The Twilight Court~ ~Selene pov~ I stood in front of the mirror, staring at a stranger. My hair was longer now, and it looked darker in the dim light of this place. My silver eyes looked tired and sad. And my stomach— I turned to the side and gently touched the small bump. I was three and a half months pregnant. Carrying my dead mate’s child. Damon… I thought again, like I always did, trying to feel the bond that was no longer there. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry I couldn’t save you. A knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts. “Selene?” Morvella’s voice came through. “The King wants you at dinner.” I let out a tired sigh. King Aldric had been very… persistent. Always inviting me, always showing up, always watching. “Tell him I don’t feel well.” “You’ve been saying that all week. He’s starting to take it personally.” “Maybe he’ll finally stop asking.” But the door still opened—Morvella never cared about privacy—and she stood there with her arms
