Rebuilding

Damien's POV “Take only what is absolutely necessary,” I said, my voice firm. “For the healers, gather your supplies. For the guards, take your weaponry. Only what you need.”I looked around the courtyard. “A chosen few will remain to guard the lands. They will prevent rogues and intruders from encroaching. First, we start with the construction of the fences and gates. Twice as high this time. Everyone else, go collect essentials. We will meet back here before departure.”They moved quickly, each understanding what they had to do.My eyes scanned the group and I found Lira. She was sitting on the chair with different attachments, the device that allowed her to move despite her legs.I stepped closer. “You’ll probably need help getting your things together.”I saw Seav waiting near the healers’ quarters. “She will go into your quarters, gather your belongings and essentials. Anything you might need. You can tell her.”“I will,” Lira said softly, her tone slightly cold. I didn’t press

The Ashen lands

Lira's POV I ignored the whispers of the people around me and focused on the healer as he examined my legs.“Does it hurt when I touch here?” he asked, pressing gently just below my knee.“No,” I said. Then I frowned. “I can’t feel that at all.”He looked up at me but said nothing at first. He moved his hands lower, watching my face carefully.“Try to move them for me,” he said.I tried with everything in me. I focused on my legs the way I normally would, trying to make them move. Nothing happened.“I can move them,” I said quickly. “They’re just tired.”The healer gave a small nod, like he wasn’t trying to argue with me. “For now, you should rest,” he said. “We will look again once we are settled.”Around us, other healers were already moving. Some were packing herbs. Others were checking wounds, preparing people for the journey. When he finished wrapping my leg, I looked up at him. “When you’re done,” I said, keeping my voice steady, “can you take me to the tent?”He paused. “The

The unfinished battle

Salcan's POV “You have to give me access to her body.”My voice rose before I could stop it. I was standing at the Tarlock border, facing one of the human guards stationed outside the tent.“I need to see her,” I said. “I need to make sure she’s alive.”The soldier said nothing.“Why are you protesting?” I snapped. “Why are you guarding her like this?”We had stopped at the border before entering the Moon-blessed lands. I needed answers before moving forward. What happened on that battlefield made no sense.“Everything was going according to plan,” I said, pacing. “Damien was close to breaking. We would have pushed him until he surrendered, or until enough of his wolves were dead.”I stepped closer to the guard.“But then everything changed. And none of you told me why.”Still, silence.“This was supposed to be a partnership,” I said. “You were not meant to act alone. When we reached Blackthorne land, the agreement was clear. We keep pushing until their Alpha falls. Then the land is

Miles from the base

Alia's POV I nodded quietly as Matthew spoke, but my thoughts weren’t with him. His voice faded into the background while my mind raced. Divine had tried to take my life. That meant she could try again. That meant I might be the only one she could use to transfer whatever she wanted. The fear I felt in the Blackthorne lands followed me as we travelled to the base. “Did you hear what I just said?” Matthew asked.“I heard,” I said with a sigh, keeping my eyes on the horizon. “But that’s not what I want to focus on right now. Everything that’s happened is enough. I can’t think about the battle.”Matthew’s hand brushed over mine, steadying me. “I understand,” he said softly. “It’s not easy. What you’ve done—it takes strength to keep going. Your father is sick, and yet you keep moving. I know what that feels like. When my mother left, I searched for her for a long time. I couldn’t find her, and it almost broke me. But I had to find a way to be strong. And you… you’ve never shown weaknes

The great city of bronze

Lira's POV It was the fourth time.The fourth time I tried to drift, and nothing happened.I had promised myself I would stop trying, but after four days on the road with no feeling in my legs, I could not help it. There was still no response and the healers had given me everything possible.I sat in the chair every day and watched life continue around me. Other Blackthorne wolves were healing. Some were already laughing again. As their wounds closed, they found small reasons to smile. They sat with their mates, with their families, and reminded each other that they were still alive.That was not my reality.I stayed in the chair as we moved. I stayed in it when we stopped. I stayed in it when the camp settled for the night. I was not going anywhere.We traveled mostly at night. We passed through the main werewolf lands quietly. Once we were far from places where Salcan might have scouts, the pace slowed. We had to stop at smaller packs along the way before reaching the capital of th

The sorceress at work

Salcan's POV Divine slapped the Vision Bearer again.“Tell me where your home is,” she said. “Tell me where you come from.”I watched the young man sway on his feet. Blood ran from his mouth, but he did not cry out. He did not beg. He did not speak.She had been torturing him for hours.For the first time, I felt something close to pity.I had always believed I was cruel. I knew I was capable of breaking people. But watching Divine work, watching how calm she was while inflicting pain, I understood something clearly. She was far worse than I would ever be.“That’s enough,” I said.She turned to me slowly. “What do you mean by that’s enough?”“He’s not going to talk,” I said. “Look at him. He’s ready to die for his people. No amount of pain will change that. You’re wasting time.”She scoffed. “Are you getting soft?”I met her gaze. “I’m getting smarter.”She said nothing.“I’m not the reckless man you remember,” I continued. “Lumina changed more than my strength. I think before I act

Dark magic in action

Divine's POVI could never let it show. I could never let him see what was going on inside me. I had to stay strong. I was too close to what I wanted. Too close to full control of the dark powers of this world.I never expected Lira to be that strong. Strong enough to hold me in the spirit lands for that long. My first plan had been Alia. She would have been easier. Taking her body would have been simple. But after what Lira did, I knew better. Alia would not last. Her body would fail me sooner than I needed.Lira was different.If I could take Lyra, I could stay longer and I could rule. I could finish everything I started.So I adjusted my plan.Salcan believed me. Of course he did. I had him exactly where I wanted him. I just had to keep it that way. I could not let him see that something was wrong. I could not let him see that the stab Damien gave me had damaged this body more than I wanted to admit. I only needed it to last a little longer.“Ma’am,” one of the soldiers said as h

A meeting with the master

Damien's POV The Ashen lands were one of the most beautiful places I had ever seen in my entire life. And I had seen a lot of places, from the Moonblessed lands when it was still in all its glory to the Blackthorne lands when it was freshly built. They could not compare to what I was looking at. And the joy and the happiness that I saw on the faces of the people there was part of what contributed to its beauty. There was even a part of the Ashen lands that had a mountain—white water gushed out from the mountain. One would think that such a thing was not around this area, but it was there, just that it was protected by this big land with big gates and a very long fence that would require a thousand men to climb over. I took Lira’s chair and wheeled her forward towards the place that Carlos was leading us to. And I noticed that she was quiet, and she must have been feeling very lonely throughout the journey. “So, how was the trip? How did it feel? I know that you, at some point,

Mind swap with magic

Alia's POV I immediately jumped down from the carriage behind us and ran toward the one in front where my father was lying. The moment I opened the door, my heart stopped. He was shaking violently, his body trembling like he was in a storm. “What happened?” I shouted, turning to Matthew. He just shook his head. “I don’t understand. We’ve been trying to stabilize him, and nothing’s working.” I rushed to my father and held onto him tightly. “Father! Father! What’s wrong? Talk to me! Speak to me!” For the first time in days, he spoke, his voice hoarse and urgent. “She’s in my head… She’s in my head!” I froze. “Who’s in your head? What’s happening?” “My body… it’s not mine anymore. I feel… something is wrong. I feel like I’m not myself.” “Father, how do we stop it? How can we help you? Please, speak to me. Tell me something!” But he couldn’t. He continued to shake violently, like his body had betrayed him. Panic clawed at my chest. I sprinted to the table with the sedati

Salcan, Divine and the moon

Divine's POV "No, no!" I screamed. Everything was falling apart. The perfectly crafted plan that I had spent so long preparing, every contingency accounted for—it wasn’t working. Nothing was working. I could not reach Lord Marco. Every attempt I made to slide into his mind, to push my way past his defenses, was met with resistance. He was fighting me, hard. The more I tried, the more I felt my control slipping. That uneasy feeling was swelling inside me again. The fear that my entire world was being turned inside out. The worst part... I felt helpless for the first time since I gained this power. I thought the moment I gained control over his body, everything else would follow. I could get closer to Aaliyah, finally reach into her mind, take hold of her essence, and only then would I have the path open to Lyra’s body. But that pathway was crumbling right before me. My years of preparation, my accumulation of dark power, it all seemed to unravel in an instant. The dark magic I ha
