Chapter 109 - Too Soon

Kade's POVI had fought through fire, through gods, through my own brother's stolen hands, and nothing had ever terrified me the way the sound of her scream did, raw and involuntary, dropping her to her knees in the middle of a battlefield that had no business hosting a birth."Nyra, look at me." I caught her before she fully collapsed, my hands finding her face, forcing her eyes to mine despite the chaos still churning around us, wolves fighting and dying only yards away, the western breach still not fully secured. "Stay with me.""It hurts." Her voice came out thin, stretched, nothing like the fierce, unbreakable woman who'd charged into this battle against my direct order less than an hour ago. "Kade, it hurts so much, this isn't right, this isn't supposed to happen like this—"Her whole body seized again, another wave tearing through her, and I felt something warm and sudden soak through the fabric at her hips, and understood, with a horror that stole every rational thought from m

Chapter 110 - What the Battle Cost

Nyra's POVEverything arrived in fragments.The pain first, sharper than anything I'd ever trained myself to endure, and then Kade's voice, distant and close at once, saying my name like a prayer he didn't believe would be answered. I remember Orlanna's hands, steady despite the fear I could hear threading through her every instruction. I remember the room tilting, the ceiling swimming, my own body feeling less like something I inhabited and more like something happening to someone else entirely.I remember, dimly, a warmth leaving me. Not blood, though there was blood too, more of it than seemed survivable. Something else. Something that had been there for weeks, small and steady and hers, pulsing faintly through the bond every time I reached for it in the quiet hours before sleep.I remember the exact moment it stopped.I didn't understand it fully in the moment, the way you don't fully understand a wound until the shock wears off and the pain finally catches up to what's actually h

Chapter 111 - I Told You

Kade's POVI never said the words. Not once, in all the days that followed, not even in the private hours when grief and exhaustion stripped away every careful filter I usually kept between what I felt and what I let myself say aloud.I never said I told you so, and I understood, even as I bit the words back time after time, that my silence had become its own kind of accusation anyway.I found her three days after the loss, sitting alone in the small chapel where I'd once refused to let her body be moved to the crypt, her own hands wrapped tight around her knees, her eyes fixed on nothing."You should be resting," I said, though the words felt hollow even as I spoke them."I've done nothing but rest since it happened." Her voice carried none of its usual fire, flat and distant in a way that frightened me more than any argument could have. "Rest didn't save her, Kade. I don't know what resting now is supposed to accomplish."I sat beside her, careful, uncertain of my welcome in a way I

Chapter 112 - The Mark Goes Dark

Kade's POVWe didn't go to Vaela that night. Riven understood, without needing to be told twice, that whatever message waited would still be waiting in the morning, and some things mattered more than urgency.I found Nyra back in our chamber hours later, sitting by the window the way she used to sit on the parapet, watching nothing, her hand resting absently against her own collarbone."It's different," she said, before I'd asked.I crossed the room and looked down at the mark, and understood immediately what she meant. The silver glow that had pulsed steady and warm since her return from death, through every crisis, every battle, every fragile moment of hope we'd stolen between disasters, had dimmed to something barely visible at all, a faint, exhausted flicker instead of the living light it had always carried before."Orlanna should see this," I said."Orlanna's already seen it. She doesn't have an explanation." Nyra's voice carried no anger, no grief even, just a flat, hollowed exh

Chapter 113 - Funeral, Again

Kade's POVThere was no council session called to discuss this funeral. No political fallout to manage, no fractured pack loyalty requiring careful navigation. Just grief, small and complete, gathering in the same courtyard where we'd buried her once already, months ago, in front of two hundred witnesses.This time, fewer than a dozen attended.Orlanna stood closest to the small grave, her hands folded, her expression carrying the particular exhaustion of a healer who had done everything possible and still lost. Riven stood beside her, silent, his jaw tight in the way it went whenever grief threatened to overwhelm his usual composure. Draven stood a little apart, close enough to be present, far enough to give Nyra whatever space she needed, understanding better than most exactly how grief could make even well-meaning nearness feel like an intrusion.Corin came too, uninvited but welcomed, holding the small carved wolf he'd offered Nyra weeks before, though this time he laid it gently

Chapter 114 - What's Left of Her

Kade's POVI left Riven waiting at the door longer than I should have, unable to make myself release Nyra's hand, unwilling to leave her alone with a silence I no longer trusted to simply pass on its own."Give me an hour," I told him finally. "Whatever Vaela has to say, it will still be true in an hour."Riven nodded, understanding, and withdrew without argument, and I stayed until the sun had fully risen, until Nyra finally, wordlessly, rose from the bed and walked toward the training yard alone, leaving me no choice but to follow at a distance, watching her the way I'd watch a wound I didn't know how to treat.That became the shape of the weeks that followed.She trained alone now, refusing Corin's tentative attempts to join her, refusing anyone's company at all, running through forms with a mechanical precision that had none of the fire I remembered from before. She ate alone too, when she ate at all, small amounts pushed listlessly around a plate until I stopped counting how many

Chapter 115 - Riven Tries a Different Approach

Riven's POVI'd spent months learning to read her, back before any of this, back when doubting her had been my full-time occupation. I understood, better than most in this stronghold, exactly how much distance now stood between the woman training alone in that yard and the one I'd watched throw herself between Mogra's strike and my own exposed throat.The pack noticed too. I heard it in the quiet murmurs that followed her through corridors she used to walk with her chin high, defiant even when half the stronghold still doubted her. Now they simply watched her pass, uncertain, some of them frightened by a grief they didn't fully understand, others simply saddened by the visible absence of someone they'd come to respect.Corin asked me once, hesitant, whether Nyra was going to be alright. I didn't have an honest answer that wouldn't frighten a boy who still trusted adults to know things they didn't actually know.I watched Kade fray at the edges too, exhausted from weeks of gentle, pati

Chapter 116 - The Visions Begin

Nyra's POVI don't remember leaving my own body, exactly. I remember the mark going cold beneath my palm, colder than it had ever been, and then the training yard simply wasn't there anymore.I stood somewhere else entirely, somewhere that looked like Ashveil but wasn't, the cottages twisted at angles that hurt to look at directly, the sky the wrong color, bruised purple bleeding into black. A woman stood in the center of it, small, dark-haired, her back to me, and something in the shape of her shoulders made my chest ache before I understood why.She turned, and I saw my own daughter's face, except grown, years older than she'd ever had the chance to become, her eyes the same storm grey as mine except lit from within by something silver and vast and utterly without mercy."You let me go," she said, and her voice carried no accusation, only a terrible, patient sorrow. "He needed only a little more time. You could have given him that.""I tried," I said, though my voice made no sound i

Chapter 117 - Kade's Restraint Breaks

Kade's POVI found her on the floor instead of the bed, curled tight against the cold stone, and for one horrifying heartbeat I thought the mark had finally gone dark for good, that whatever thin thread still connected her to this world had simply, silently, given out while I was three corridors away checking a watch rotation that suddenly felt like the stupidest waste of time I'd ever spent."Nyra!" I dropped to my knees beside her, hands finding her face, her pulse, anything that might tell me she was still here.Her eyes snapped open, wild, unseeing for a moment before they focused on me, and she gasped a word I didn't fully catch, something that sounded like a name, though not one I recognized."Nyra, look at me. You're here. You're safe.""He's not," she said, still half caught in whatever had taken her, her voice raw and strange. "He wants me to choose. I keep telling him no, and he keeps showing me anyway, over and over, until I—"She stopped, blinking, awareness finally settli

Chapter 118 - Draven's Confession

Draven's POVKade's shout carried through two corridors, and I was already running before I fully understood what I was running toward.I reached the chamber to find Nyra rigid on the floor, her back arched, her eyes rolled back to white, the mark at her collarbone blazing so bright it cast harsh shadows across the walls. Kade knelt over her, his hands hovering, uncertain, terrified in a way I'd rarely seen from my brother even during the worst of this war."I don't know what to do," he said, his voice cracking. "Draven, I don't know how to reach her.""Talk to her. Keep talking. Sometimes that's enough to anchor someone back."He did, desperate, repeating her name over and over, and slowly, agonizingly, the light dimmed, her body relaxed, and she gasped back into consciousness, disoriented and shaking, tears streaming down a face that had gone hollow with exhaustion these past weeks.We got her to bed, and Orlanna arrived within minutes, confirming what none of us wanted to hear, tha
