Divine's vines

Damien's POV It had been decades since I last saw a liquid that looked and smelled that bad. When Lord Marco lifted the vial, my stomach twisted. I felt the urge to vomit, but I swallowed it down. An Alpha throwing up in front of his pack was not an option.I had already given Desmond his instructions before all this began. Everything was in place. That allowed me to focus on the real problem, the one Neveah had revealed to me.I sat inside the tent while Lord Marco attached wires to my body. A low vibration spread through me. I guessed that was how the machine was meant to work.Then came the part I feared most.He poured the liquid into a small cup and set it beside me. Lira stood close, watching quietly. Lord Marco adjusted the machine again.“You’ll wait ten minutes before taking it,” he said. “We need to be sure the device has fully bonded with your body.”I stared at the cup, then looked at him.“Every mixture you’ve made before was injected. Why do I have to drink this one? A

Backdoor to the dungeons

Lira's POV I just stood there, watching him. His eyes were closed, his body slouched in the chair. Damien unconscious was not something I was used to seeing. Not outside his den. Not like this.Lord Marco stayed beside him for a long time. He watched every small movement, every breath. Twenty minutes passed, and nothing changed. Damien did not stir. He did not flinch.Lord Marco looked at me.“You don’t have to stay here,” he said. “That’s my job. Our job.”He gestured to the others in the tent, moving around quietly. “He will be fine.”I hesitated. “What was the liquid meant to do?”He sighed, like he was choosing his words carefully.“It was something I developed recently,” he said. “It was made from the same substance the vision bearers brought before. The one used for drifting. This one makes sure Damien can return. Even if something goes wrong in the spirit lands, he will find his way back. And if he is harmed, we can revive him.”He paused. “It also has a bit of the antidote.

the hidden tunnels

Lira's POV When my legs hit the floor below, dust rose into the air. It filled my nose and made me cough. The place looked like it had been abandoned for a very long time. Algae covered parts of the walls, and the floor looked dry, like water had not touched it in years. I looked around. There was only one path ahead. I started walking. I hoped I was not walking into danger. I hoped the path would lead me to the dungeons. I kept walking for a long time. Then I started to hear voices. I slowed my steps and made sure my feet made no sound. I moved carefully, not wanting anyone to notice me. At first, I thought the people were inside the tunnel with me. I leaned forward, trying to see them. But there was no one ahead. I listened more closely and realized the voices were coming from above me. That confused me. The tunnels were made of thick stone. I did not understand how sound could pass through it so clearly. I leaned closer to listen. “We have planned with the mo

The good evil man

Lira's POV The general and I stared at each other while I searched for the right words to say. The cages around us were no longer quiet. Some of the prisoners had noticed me, and a few of them began to make noise. It was easy to tell which ones had lost their minds.I knew the kind of people kept down here. Those with broken minds. Those accused of treason. Those taken as spoils of war who refused to join the Blackthornes. The stubborn ones. The forgotten ones.Things were starting to spiral, but I needed answers before anything else happened.I swallowed the tight knot in my throat and forced myself to speak.“You called me Daughter of the Moon,” I said, holding his gaze. “You said you knew I would come. So what was I meant to hear from you?”He tried to smile, but pain cracked through it.“I am not a cruel man,” he whispered. “Not the man you think I am.”His body trembled as the shift pulled at him. Claws appeared, then fingers again.“Ever since the accident, I have not been who

An Alpha can have weaknesses

Damien's POV I stood there, staring at the vines that led into the chamber. I did not move at first. I was thinking about what would happen if I stepped forward. I did not know if it was a trap or if it would cost me more than I was ready to give.Something felt wrong. I did not feel like an alpha. I did not feel like anyone would obey me if I spoke. I felt light, almost empty. Like I was just a man standing alone. No rank. No command. The feeling unsettled me more than any enemy ever had.I stayed there for a while, breathing slowly, trying to understand it. This place was doing something to me. Or maybe it was showing me something I had been avoiding.Then I took a step forward.At once, my body reacted. It was subtle at first, like walking against strong wind. I pushed again, but my legs shifted back instead of forward. I frowned and tried once more, forcing myself toward the chamber.The closer I tried to get, the more my body resisted. My feet slid backward like the ground no lo

Beneath the Blackthorne lands

Lira's POV I thought that maybe it had been too long since the general last breathed fresh air. He had been locked in the dungeons for years. It would not be strange if his mind had started to play tricks on him. I looked straight at him.“Repeat what you just said,” I told him.He did not hesitate. “My brother came down here and gave me something. I believe it was meant to kill me.”I shook my head immediately. “I’m not going to believe that. Everything your brother has ever done was to keep me safe. Even when you were considered the enemy, he still tried to protect you. Now you expect me to believe he tried to kill you. That sounds like a lie meant to turn me against him.”“I’m not trying to turn you against him,” he said. “I’m telling you the truth.”“How do you even know that what he gave you was meant to kill you?” I asked.“There is no other reason he would come down here,” the general replied. “I finally understood why my wolf was kept dormant all my life.”I stayed silent and

It all came flooding back

Damien's POV I was intrigued by the way the vines moved across Alia’s body. I never expected it to be her. I kept asking myself how it happened. And how Divine took control of her. And why she never snapped out of it, even while we were still in the werewolf lands. I wondered how I did not notice anything wrong.I had barely finished thinking when I felt a presence behind me.I turned quickly.Neveah was standing there.“You’ve done it,” she said. “You finally drifted. But I can feel that your time here is almost over.”She stepped closer.“Remember,” she continued, “You are not a daughter of the moon like me. So I know you must have taken something to drift.”“I can already sense that this might be the last time we see each other for a very long time,” Neveah said.“When you pull the plug and cut the vines holding Alia, you will have a better chance of winning this war.”She looked at me. “That has always been my hope. That you would be able to drift on your own, so I could finally

The long drawn siege

Lira's POV I tilted my head, trying to understand what I was seeing on her face. Alia looked tired. Too tired. It was like something dark was moving under her skin, especially around her eyes. Her face looked dull, like she had not slept in days. That didn't make sense. She had been asleep since our last drift.“Why do you look like that?” I asked her.“Like what?” she asked back.“You look like you have not rested at all,” I said. “They told me you were asleep when I woke up from the drift. You do not look like someone who has been sleeping.”She shrugged lightly. “Maybe it's just your eyes. Or maybe you have drifted too much.”“I feel fine,” she added. “I actually feel refreshed. Just a small pain at the back of my head. Probably a side effect of the drift.”“Where is the vision bearer?” I asked.“He is still in the chambers,” she said. “In the place we drifted together. He's there with Seav, explaining some things to her. He has been treating me since I woke up. Matthew was there

All at once

Damien's POV “Your memories will return one by one until you finally remember everything all at once,” Neveah said, pulling me out of my head. I walked closer to her, seeing her in a new light for the first time. She was my daughter. My child. They took her from me. And we did nothing wrong.“You have only a few minutes to get to Alia now. You must go,” she said, smiling.She led me back to the vines and placed her hands on Alia's shoulders. “Once you place your hands on her shoulders, my power will flow through her body, freeing her and into yours freeing your mind from Divine's hold. The Blackthornes will be freed once you get back to the werewolf lands.”I stretched my hands and let them hover over Alia's shoulder. Then I turned to my daughter. “Will I ever see you again?” I asked. “I have so many questions. How have you managed to cope here for so long? Is there a way you can come with me?” I said, before she could answer the first question.She smiled and the world around me

The sorceress wants a new form

Lira's POV "Hold her head," I said at once as Alia collapsed into my arms.I did not understand what was happening. I turned to Damien, and he was already watching me. His eyes stayed on my face, like he knew something was wrong even before I spoke.Then Lord Marco rushed out of the tent. The moment Alia fell, it was like something snapped inside him.“What’s going on?” he asked, lifting her into his arms. “What happened?”He carried her straight into the tent. I followed closely behind.“Tell me what happened to my daughter,” he said, staring at me. His voice was sharp. “You were with her.”“I was just with her,” I said, struggling to speak clearly. “She suddenly became unconscious. I don’t understand it.”“How can you not understand?” he asked. “Did she say anything? Did she complain about anything at all?”“She said the back of her head had been hurting,” I replied. “That’s all she told me.”Panic spread across his face as he moved around his workstation, searching through bottles
