Chapter 71

RHIANNONI stare at Calix.The words he just said echo inside my head like something hollow and wrong.Dead.Draven is dead.No.No, that can’t be right.The thought refuses to settle inside my mind. It bounces around wildly, looking for somewhere to land, but nothing fits. Nothing makes sense.My hands curl slowly into the bedsheet beneath me.“You’re lying.”The words slip out before I even realize I’m speaking.My voice sounds thin. Fragile. Like glass about to crack.Calix doesn’t move.I push myself up from the bed too quickly. My legs tremble the moment they take my weight, but I force myself to stand anyway.“He can’t be dead.” My voice rises. “I need to see him.”Calix steps forward quickly and grabs my wrist.“Please calm down.”His grip is firm, but all I feel is heat rushing through my body. My chest tightens painfully as panic spreads through me like wildfire.“Let go of me!” I snap.My voice breaks halfway through the words.Tears spill down my cheeks before I can stop th

Chapter 72

My eyes flutter open.Pain crashes through my skull immediately, sharp and relentless, like something is pounding against the inside of my head. I groan softly and squeeze my eyes shut again, pressing my fingers against my temple as if that might dull the ache.It doesn’t.My throat feels dry. My body feels heavy.Slowly, I force my eyes open again.The room comes into focus little by little. Pale light spills through the window. The unfamiliar ceiling stretches above me.For a moment I just lie there, blinking slowly, trying to gather my thoughts.Then everything comes rushing back.Calix’s voice.The priest.The ritual.Draven.Dead.My breath catches so suddenly it hurts.No.The word forms instantly in my mind, sharp and desperate.My fingers curl into the blanket beneath me.No.I stare at the ceiling as if it might give me a different answer.He can’t be dead.I refuse to believe that.My chest rises and falls unevenly as I shake my head slowly against the pillow.I don’t want t

Rain is pouring from the sky.Cold drops strike my skin and soak through my clothes, but I keep walking.Trees stretch endlessly around me, dark and towering, their branches swaying violently in the storm. The ground beneath my feet is muddy, soft, swallowing each step I take.Somewhere in the distance, a howl echoes through the forest.It’s faint at first.Lonely.But it isn’t the only sound.Another noise follows it.Deep.Low.A strange sound I’ve never heard before.My brows pull together as I listen.It almost sounds like a voice.Not words.Just a raw, powerful sound ripping through the air. Something ancient. Something wild.The closest thing I can compare it to is the cry of an elephant—but deeper. Rougher. Like something massive screaming into the sky.The sound sends a chill crawling down my spine.Yet my feet keep moving.It feels like the noise is calling me.Pulling me forward.The deeper I walk into the forest, the louder it becomes.My heart begins to pound.Closer.I’m

Chapter 74

“My father always knew she would never love him. But he needed an heir.”A pause follows.“I was fourteen when my father died. They said it was an illness.”The breeze moves through his hair.“My mother couldn’t stay in the pack after that. So she took me and ran away.”His voice lowers slightly.“And she ran straight to the man she had only ever loved.”My chest tightens before he even finishes the sentence.“The Alpha of the Midnight Pack.”My stomach twists.I turn to look at him.He’s already looking at me.I look away quickly.“He was a single father,” Calix continues. “His wife had died a few years earlier. And he had a son my age.”He pauses.“Draven.”The name lands in my chest like a stone.I grip the railing harder.“I hated it there,” Calix says quietly. “I hated the way my mother looked at that man. I had never seen her look at my father that way. Not once.”His jaw tightens slightly.“But when she looked at Draven’s father… it was different. Like she belonged there.”His

A soft knock pulls me out of sleep.It’s quiet. Almost like whoever is on the other side doesn’t want to disturb me.My eyes open slowly. The ceiling comes into view, initially blurred before it clears.For a moment, I just lie there.Everything feels heavy. My body. My head. Even breathing feels like an effort.“Rhiannon?”Calix.I swallow, my throat dry.“…Come in.”The door opens gently.I don’t turn immediately, but I hear him step inside. Slow and careful. Like he’s trying not to make too much noise.There’s a faint clink. A tray being set down.I push myself up a little, leaning against the headboard.He’s by the table, adjusting the tray like it actually matters how it’s placed.“Hey,” he says quietly.I glance up at him“Hey.”My voice comes out low. Not quite steady.His eyes stay on me for a second longer than necessary.I notice it.Even when I look away, I can still feel it. From the corner of my eyes. The way he keeps glancing at me like he’s checking if I’m… okay.“Did y

A knock sounds on the door.I’m already ready.I open it before he knocks again.Calix stands there, hand still half-raised like he was about to knock a second time.His eyes move over me—quick, sharp, taking everything in.A slow smirk follows.“Look at that,” he says. “You actually listened.”I roll my eyes, stepping past him. “Don’t get used to it.”He lets out a quiet chuckle as he falls into step beside me.“Let’s show you around the pack.”The hallway isn’t empty this time.A few people move past us—some carrying things, others just heading somewhere with purpose.The moment they see Calix, they slow.“Alpha.”A few bow their heads slightly.Calix acknowledges them with a nod, nothing more.Then their eyes shift to me.Curious.Lingering.Not hostile… but definitely watching.I ignore it.We take the stairs down, footsteps echoing lightly. By the time we step outside, the place feels more alive.People moving between buildings. Voices in the distance. The faint sound of training

Chapter 77

The road starts to look familiar.At first, I don’t think much of it.Just trees. The same bend. The same long stretch of empty road.Then it clicks.My grip on Calix tightens slightly as he drives past a bad spot.This is the same road.The one we took when we left the mansion.I don’t say anything.I just sit there, the wind brushing against my face as my eyes follow the path ahead.We keep going.Five minutes.Ten.Fifteen.And then—The gates come into view.My brows pull together slightly.He slows the bike and finally comes to a stop.I get off, pulling the helmet off slowly, my eyes moving around the place before landing back on him.“You said there’s a last place you wanted to show me,” I say. “Why are we back here?”He turns off the engine and gets off the bike.“That’s where we’re going,” he says simply, gesturing behind the mansion as he starts walking.I hesitate for half a second.Then follow.We walk past a group of women gathered not too far from the side of the mansion

Chapter 78

We walk back in silence.The garden fades behind us, the colors, the quiet… all of it swallowed by the walls of the mansion again.I don’t look at him.I just walk.My steps feel heavier now. Slower.Calix doesn’t say anything either.For once, he isn’t trying to fill the space.He just… stays beside me.I notice it after a while.The way he adjusts his pace.Slower.Matching mine.Like he knows I can’t keep up with anything faster right now.We pass through the hallways. A few people are still around, voices low, movements softer now that the sun is almost gone.“Alpha,” someone says as we pass.Calix nods.We reach my door.He opens it without a word.I step inside.For a second, neither of us moves.Then—“Try to get some sleep,” he says.His voice is quiet.I nod.I don’t trust myself to say anything else.He lingers for a second longer.Like he wants to say something more.But he doesn’t.Then he leaves.The door closes softly behind him.The room is too quiet.I stand there for

Chapter 79

I don’t sleep again.Not really.I lie there with my eyes closed, but my mind doesn’t stop.It keeps going back to it.The cave.The forest.That man.That voice.Orphe.I open my eyes.The room is still dark.I turn slightly on the bed, staring at nothing.Why am I having these dreams?It’s twice now.That’s not normal.It can’t be nothing.My fingers curl slightly against the sheets.What is it trying to tell me?My chest feels tight again.Not painful.Just… heavy.What is Orphe?The question lingers longer than I want it to.And no matter how much I try to push it away—It stays.A knock sounds on the door.I blink, pulled out of my thoughts.Morning light is already slipping through the curtains.I didn’t even notice when it came.“Come in,” I say.The door opens.A girl walks in.I recognize her immediately.She’s the same one I saw the day I woke up here.She’s holding folded bedsheets in her hands.She smiles. “Good morning.”I sit up, pushing some hair away from my face. “Goo

Chapter 80

I need to get this dream out of my head.But it doesn’t leave.I lie on the bed, staring at the ceiling. My body feels tired, but my mind won’t slow down.I shut my eyes for a second.It’s useless.A knock sounds on the door.I open my eyes and turn my head toward it.“Come in,” I say.The door opens, and a woman steps in. She looks about my age. She’s holding a tray of food.“Good morning,” she says with a small smile as she walks in.“Good morning,” I reply, pushing myself up into a sitting position.“I brought your breakfast.”She places the tray on the table beside the window.“Thank you.”She nods once. “Do you need anything else?”“No, thanks,” I say softly.She leaves quietly, closing the door behind her.I sit there for a moment.Then I get off the bed and walk over.The food smells good.Fresh.Warm.I sit down and pick up the spoon.Take a bite.I chew slowly.Swallow.Take another.But it doesn’t taste like anything.My appetite fades almost immediately.I try again.Anothe
