Chapter One Hundred And Fifty Nine

As the night deepened, the witches moved swiftly toward Alameldas. Shadows stretched over the quiet village as they began their spellwork, chanting low and melodic incantations. One by one, the villagers began to emerge, their voices muttering Haspan's name as if compelled by some invisible chain. Haspan's soldiers died.Elowyn raised a small lamp high, its glow trembling across the gathering crowd. She stepped forward, voice urgent, carrying both authority and desperation. "You must listen! You were bewitched! You did not choose this! Please, follow us to RuthValis."Fear and confusion rippled through the crowd. Vengeance flared in their eyes. Mothers clutched their children tightly, tears streaking their faces. Fathers swore bitter oaths, remembering the soldiers lost, the kings fallen, and the stolen food that had left families starving. Children whimpered, clinging to their parents, unsure what had been done to them.Elowyn's voice rang out again, stronger this time. "There's

"Stop... no!" Elowyn screamed, claws of anger and grief digging into her palms. Her voice carried over the chaos, but it did nothing to deter Lucian. Every child he struck, every elderly victim thrown to the ground, tightened the fire in her chest.Instantly, she lunged toward him, wings unfurling and shadowed magic spiraling around her. But before she could reach him, a force slammed into her midair-a wizard in Haspan's service. The impact sent her twisting, her breath ripping from her lungs as blood splashed from her mouth. Her body crashed into the cobblestone street, pain exploding through her like lightning.A horse, panicked and unseeing, trampled her leg. She felt bones twist, her consciousness slipping as her screams and the ringing of battle filled her ears. Her eyes fluttered, tears mixing with blood. Then, Samantha, fast and precise, was at her side. The witch lifted her in a swirl of protective magic, carrying her out of the killing field.Elowyn's vision went dark as

Chapter One Hundred And Sixty One

Elowyn lay deeply asleep, her breaths soft but uneven, her skin too pale beneath the lamplight. The room had gone silent as soon as Baron entered, yet the supporting Veilbound witches soon swept in-hoods low, faces drawn tight with strain.They gathered near the foot of the bed, whispering urgently among themselves before turning to the king and Baron."It is Metella," one of them murmured. "She was with Haspan. She told him everything. Every kingdom we touched. Every spell. Every plan."Another witch shook her head, voice trembling. "This is dangerous-far more dangerous than we expected. The war is already at its brink. We carried so many kingdoms away safely, but the rest... they have either been killed or re-enchanted by Haspan's hand."The king pressed a hand over his eyes, grief and relief carving lines across his face. "Still... you rescued thousands," he said, voice rough. "Even soldiers. Even children. That alone is a blessing in these dark days."But the witches only looked

Baron woke before dawn.Five on the dot.His body moved before his mind did. He pushed himself up on one elbow, looked down at Elowyn's sleeping face, and his whole chest softened. He bent and pressed a slow kiss to her forehead - one of those quiet, private kisses he never gave anyone else - then slipped out of bed before she could stir.He closed the door soundlessly behind him.The nurse was already in the small adjoining room, sorting herbs.Baron's voice was low but firm."Watch her. Quietly. If she wakes, send for me immediately."The woman nodded fast, wide-eyed and smiley.Baron turned and headed down the corridor. Halfway to his own chamber, a servant hurried up to him, bowing with an ashtray in both hands and a single rolled smoke resting inside."My lord... it's from Lord Azpen."Baron let out a tired, dry-throated smirk - the kind that wasn't truly amusement, just acknowledgment."Of course it is," he muttered.He took the smoke, clamped it between his teeth, and stepped

She saw him and blushed, a soft, delicate warmth that made his chest tighten. Without a word, she reached up and their lips met in a gentle, heartfelt kiss. The kind that carried months of worry, relief, and quiet love all at once."I want to go for a walk," she whispered, her hands holding his."It's risky, you just.... got up." he said immediately, concern furrowing his brow."I'm fine," she said, bouncing slightly. Her energy startled him at first, but she laughed, her joy contagious. "My ribs are healed - that was the only thing." And with that, she stepped back and executed a perfect somersault, landing gracefully.Baron blinked, wide-eyed for a moment, then couldn't help himself - he laughed, a low, warm sound, and she laughed with him. He leaned close and whispered, "This will be our little secret hangout.""Yipee!"He instructed the nurse discreetly to tell the others that they had gone for a walk. Then he took her hand, and together they moved along a quiet, lonely passage

Baron groaned softly, turning over and laying her down, pressing his body against hers, letting his lips follow the line of her jaw, down to her neck. "You've been driving me insane without knowing," he admitted, voice husky. "Every second without you... I always need you, Elowyn. I guess we were never prepared for what comes with the matebond madness."Elowyn's fingers dug into his hair as she laughed softly, the sound turning into a gasp when he brushed his lips over the sensitive spot between her neck and shoulder. "Then you better make up for lost times now," she whispered, teasing, her hips moving slightly against his.He chuckled darkly, letting his hands push fabrics off, cooing calming words when she became tense, finding her chasm, teasing patterns inside her, between her thighs, brushing her gently, making her writhe with urgent desire. "And, I plan to make up, Elowyn." he murmured, voice low, dangerous, yet soft. "But I want to hear you say it."Elowyn's eyes sparkled with

Chapter One Hundred And Sixty Five

Elowyn lay on the cold stone floor outside the Veilbound cave cell, her back stiff. The flickering glow of enchanted torches cast long, dancing shadows around the chamber, but the presence of the seven children-small, eager faces trying to peer at her from where they lay in a circle about her-brought warmth into the coldness. Dawn, right above Elowyn's head, fidgeted nervously with the hem of her tunic, glancing down at Elowyn as if trying to gauge what kind of person she truly was."Are you really the Elowyn Froste everyone talks about?" one little boy asked, his voice wide-eyed and trembling.Elowyn smiled, despite the weariness tugging at her chest. "I am," she said softly. "And you're all very brave to be here with me."The children's questions came fast and tumbling, a mix of curiosity, mischief, and fear. One asked if she could fly, another if she could make ice appear from her hands, and another wanted to know if she really fought Haspan herself. Elowyn laughed at their eage

Chapter One Hundred And Sixty Six

The children gathered close, forming a soft circle around the herbs they had picked in the dream-forest.Their small hands worked with surprising care-crushing, mixing, kneading the glowing leaves and petals the way Elowyn had taught them earlier.A strange perfume filled the cave.Warm.Ancient.Alive."Let's taste it," one child whispered."For Mia," another added.They each scooped a tiny bit and touched it to their tongues.Instantly-"AAAHHH-BITTERRR!""My tongue is dying!""Blehhh-why is magic so wicked?!"Their laughter boomed through the Veilbound cave, bouncing off the crystal walls until even Elowyn's floating, unconscious body seemed to glow brighter for a moment.Still giggling, they carried the bowl toward the shimmering portal Dawn had opened.On the other side, the children in white were waiting-calm, glowing, silent.The moment Dawn approached, they stepped forward, gently took the bowl from her hands, and vanished as if the air swallowed them whole.A heartbeat later,

Chapter One Hundred And Sixty Seven

The white room held only the silent, sleeping children, their gentle breathing the only sound, as if the world itself paused to honor the moment.Dawn opened her eyes, alone, trembling slightly but certain: the ritual had begun.Elowyn drifted through whiteness as though she were weightless.The place felt unreal-too beautiful, too bright, too soft.White flowers carpeted the ground like clouds, glowing faintly beneath her bare feet.The air tasted sweet, warm, almost like morning sunlight turned into breath.People stood around her-women, men, children-dressed in soft pale garments that glimmered as though woven from moonlight.They stared at her with gentle awe, whispering to one another, bowing their heads, parting like a quiet river as she walked through them.Elowyn didn't know where she was going.She simply felt pulled-drawn forward by something deeper than instinct, deeper than scent, deeper than fear.Her heart thudded.Her steps slowed.The glow thickened, swirling like fog

Chapter One Hundred And Sixty Eight

Because she could feel the other side too-her real body shaking, Dawn's wolves muttering incantations, the cave thick with danger.She didn't care.Elowyn was coming back.But the world around them began to react.The white figures started shifting, turning toward the sound.The light dimmed.A wind kicked up from nowhere.The dead world was waking up.And it did not want to release Elowyn.The world around Elowyn blurred... and then cleared.Someone was standing ahead.Not glowing.Not floating.Not shifting like the white figures.Just standing.Just... her mother.Ariya Froste.Elowyn's breath snapped out of her chest.For a heartbeat she forgot the field, the light, the chanting Elowyns, everything."Mom?"Her voice broke.Ariya smiled - that soft, warm smile Elowyn thought she'd forgotten.Her arms opened.Elowyn ran.No hesitation. No fear. She crashed into her mother's embrace, almost sobbing at the shock of feeling skin... warmth... scent... everything real."I can see you," E
