Seren closed her eyes, blocking out the sight of Kael’s handsome face and the distracting heat radiating from his chest. She focused inward, searching for that small, humming pool of silver light she had felt earlier.Push it, she told herself. Just shove it into him.She imagined a river bursting a dam. She gritted her teeth, tensed her muscles, and shoved her Divine Magic toward the bond connecting them.She felt a flicker. A tiny, polite spark.It felt less like a river bursting a dam and more like a single drop of water falling into a raging volcano.Kael didn’t move. He didn’t gasp. The room didn’t shake.In fact, the silence stretched for an agonizing ten seconds.She had forgotten that she was at Level 1!Seren cracked one eye open.Kael was looking at her. His expression wasn’t impressed. It wasn’t even disappointed. It was just… waiting.“Is that it? Again?” he asked softly.Seren’s face flushed so hot she thought she might steam. She slumped against his chest, burying her fa

The next evening, Seren stood before the heavy oak doors of the Kael’s study, feeling less like a villainess plotting a coup and more like a student about to fail a final exam.She was dressed in a simple, sleeveless tunic and loose trousers made of soft, breathable cotton—an outfit chosen for function, not fashion. She rolled her shoulders, took a deep breath, and pushed the doors open.The study had changed.The massive oak desk was pushed against the far wall. The rugs had been rolled up, revealing the dark, polished stone floor beneath. The room felt emptier, colder, and vastly more intimidating.Kael stood in the center of the open space. He had discarded his usual formal coat, wearing only a thin black shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing forearms corded with muscle.He looked dangerous. And focused.“You’re late,” he said, not turning around as he adjusted a cuff.“I’m on time,” Seren countered, stepping inside. “You’re just early.”Kael turned, his amber e

Day 4“Your stance is wrong.”Seren snarled, sweat dripping down her nose. “My stance is fine! Your aura is just heavy!”“Widening your feet doesn’t give you stability against magic, it just makes you a tripod,” Kael critiqued, walking through the storm of energy he was projecting.He tapped her ankle with his boot. “Move this in. Spine straight. You are channeling Divinity, not wrestling a bear.”Seren corrected her posture, gritting her teeth. A sphere of silver light pulsed around her, stronger now, thicker than the first day.She could hold it for thirty minutes now. But the pain was different. It wasn’t crushing weight anymore; it was a burning heat in her chest as her core stretched and tore and rebuilt itself over and over.“Expand it,” Kael commanded. “Don’t just cover your skin. Cover me.”“What?” Seren’s eyes snapped open, breaking her focus. The shield wavered.“We need to hide my aura at the banquet, remember?” Kael stepped into her personal space, his dark energy swirling

The morning of the Moon Banquet arrived with a sky the color of bruised plums, heavy with impending rain. Inside Nightwind Manor, the atmosphere was tense, charged with the political weight of the coming night.Seren stood before a full-length mirror, critically assessing her reflection. She wore a gown of deep midnight blue velvet that hugged her curves before spilling into a pool of silver-threaded silk at her feet. The neckline was elegant, deliberately cut to showcase the moonstone necklace—a piece that hummed faintly against her skin, resonating with the new, volatile power coiled in her chest.Her hair silver hair was swept up in an intricate braid woven with tiny pearls. She looked regal and dangerous.The door opened, and Alpha Aldrik entered, impeccable in the formal black and silver of the Nightwind Pack."You look exactly like a warrior on her way to battle," Aldrik stated."Terrified, Father," Seren admitted. "But ready. Kael's message confirms the plan. We play the par

The silence in the Grand Pavilion was so thick it felt like physical pain. Thousands of eyes were fixed on the dais: on the Lunar Chalice with its foul, black water; on Seren and Kael, standing side-by-side; and finally, on Priestess Katya, whose mask of serenity had finally cracked.Her mouth worked, soundlessly, as if her lungs had forgotten how to draw breath. Her eyes darted from the Chalice to Kael, then to Seren, radiating pure, cold hatred.“An illusion!” Katya finally shrieked, her voice high and ragged, shattering the silence. “This is Nightwind sorcery! They seek to defile the sacred Rite and slander the Church!”“Sorcery?” Seren’s voice was calm, cutting through the panic. She kept her hand on Kael’s, leveraging the shared power to keep her own knees from buckling. “Priestess, your fake blessing turned the water gold. Ours—the one you call sorcery—turned the water black. Why? Because gold is the color of deceit. Black is the color of contamination.”She stepped forward, pu
