THORDeucalion’s return to the study jolted me from my reverie of thoughts and pent-up fury.“Did I not tell you to leave?” I snapped at him.He carefully made his way to stand in front of my study desk, caring less about my anger. “We need to talk.”I tapped gently on my desk. “Whatever it is can wait.”“No, it can't.” Deucalion growled. “It can only be now, and you have no choice but to listen to me.”With obvious hesitation, I turned to face him. “So, what's the not-so-urgent, important topic.” “I’ve been meaning to ask you about your connection with Dextera.” He said boldly. I huffed, calming myself before broaching the topic with him. Did I expect this? Somewhat. Only that I did not expect him to put his first foot forward anytime soon. Not when we had a great threat to be concerned about—one which already had a great effect on my mental health. “What exactly do you want to know?” I asked, trying so much to avoid discussing her on a deeper length.“Everything. As long as it c

DEXTERAGetting the route to Vaelorra’s address was a bit of a hurdle as I wasn’t very familiar with the pack. At some point when I got several feet away from Roxanne’s mini-clinic, I decided against proceeding to the elder’s residence. ‘This is all but a bad idea.’ My subconsciousness warned. There were several reasons my intuition guided against the decision. Asides not knowing the direction, it was way too late. Dark clouds began to take up the sky and it would have gotten darker by the time I got to the supposed destination.Also, I had close to no idea what Vaelorra was really like up close. Roxanne said she was the best approachable, but she could as well take badly to unwanted guests at that time of the evening. Yet, I wanted answers desperately. I was greatly invested in finding out what that logo or symbol meant and in finding out Vaelorra’s possible intent for visiting me at the dungeon. ‘You can do that tomorrow when the day is bright.’ My subconsciousness offered but I s

DEXTERA My shift dragged on slower than usual and agony tore through me in relentless waves as my body writhed against the stone floor and confined space. My vision swam and sharpened all at once, and then something caught my eye through the haze of pain. The big, bold pendant on the chain around Ivana's neck. It glinted faintly in the low light, and a dark metal sigil etched into the pendant in twisting lines. My senses sharpened, instantly recognizing the symbol. It was the very one I had come to ask Vaelorra about. The realization struck me hard, even as my bones snapped into their final alignment. With a violent surge, my shift completed. My beast rose fully to it's towering height, and a second howl tore from my throat, louder than the first, powerful enough to rattle the shelves and crack the silence apart. The force of it slammed into the room, and both Vaelorra and Ivana instinctively shifted back, retreating several steps. Ivana’s voice trembled as she stared at me, ter

DEXTERAI didn’t bother to check whether Vaelorra was home before leaving Deucalion’s place. He had insisted I stay in bed and rest, but time wasn’t a luxury I could afford.I was barely through the threshold when her voice greeted me.“Welcome back, child,” Vaelorra said calmly. “I’ve been expecting you.”I let out a derisive scoff. “Like you expected me yesterday?”She didn’t react. Instead, she lifted her cup, taking a slow sip of coffee while studying me over the rim, her silence deliberate and measured.“I suspect you have questions for me,” she said at last.She gestured toward a chair nearby. “Sit. Then we’ll talk.”Without thinking twice, I sat down. She dropped the coffee cup, her attention fully on me. “Before I say anything, a deal shall be made.”My brows creased in confusion and I huffed. What a joke! If anyone was to make a deal, it should be me and not the other way round. Yet, I allowed her speak but didn't hide my dissatisfaction.“Anything discussed here ends here.”

DEXTERABy the time I returned to the Alpha’s mansion, I was barely holding myself together. My head throbbed, my limbs felt heavy, and a strange haze clung to my thoughts. Whatever strength I had gathered earlier, I had clearly burned through it trying to stand my ground before Vaelorra—trying to be fearless when every part of me had been screaming otherwise.I still couldn’t quite believe the way I’d spoken to her.That kind of boldness wasn’t supposed to live inside me. I had always been the one who endured and not the one who confronted. Yet, there I was, shaken by the realization that something in me had changed.As I walked through the mansion, the staff’s eyes followed me, slow, curious, and weighted with something I couldn’t put my fingers around. I returned their stares with wary confusion, as my heart beat faster with each step I took.Not again.The last time I had been met with looks like those, I had ended up chained in the Sanctum, stripped of dignity and mercy alike.
