Chapter 101: Flight Into The Night

Calla's POVI ran like the wind itself was chasing me.My paws slammed against the frozen forest floor, black fur rippling under the moonlight as I pushed my body harder than I ever had before. The sacred waterfall was far behind me now, its roar fading into the distance. Every stride sent jolts of pain through my muscles, but I didn’t stop. I couldn’t stop. The palace, the council, the accusations … they were all behind me, but the fear followed like a shadow I couldn’t outrun.My left wrist burned. The itch had started as a small annoyance but had grown into something vicious, like fire crawling under my skin. I tried to ignore it, focusing on the rhythm of my paws hitting the earth, the cold wind whipping through my fur. But the burn spread slowly up my foreleg, throbbing with every heartbeat. I knew what it meant. I had seen it on the man at the gates. The plague was inside me now.Still, I ran.The trees blurred past me in streaks of silver and shadow. I didn’t know where I

Chapter 102: The Wolf in the Cave

Calla's POVThe infected wolf moved closer.Its mangy fur bristled, black veins pulsing visibly beneath the patchy skin like living shadows. Foam dripped from its bared fangs, and its eyes glowed with mindless hunger as it growled low and menacing. Every step it took made the air feel heavier, thicker with the stench of rot and decay. I pressed my back harder against the cold cave wall, heart hammering so loudly I could hear it in my ears. My left hand burned with the plague’s itch, the black veins throbbing in time with my panic. I tried to shift again, desperate for my wolf’s strength, but my body refused. Pain exploded in my chest.“Blade!” I shouted, voice cracking with fear. “Brynne!”The wolf lunged.A dark blur slammed into it from behind with brutal force.The impact was savage. Brynne’s fist connected with the wolf’s skull in a sickening crack that echoed through the cave. The creature yelped, staggering sideways, but Brynne didn’t stop. He kept punching … over and over,

Chapter 103: The Shadow in Her Veins

Brynne's POVI leaned in, gently touching the side of her neck where the mark from my brother still stood out against her skin. Calla was fast asleep, her breathing shallow and uneven, her face pale even in the dim firelight of the cave. I had been patrolling the surrounding areas, coming to the front lines partly because I was running away from my brother’s mate and partly because the treaty was getting real … we had been closed off from our people long enough.But it seemed something had gone terribly wrong for Calla to be out here on her own. And she looked terrible.I growled low in my throat, trying to keep my wolf inside. Seeing her like this … vulnerable and weak … killed me. I had always liked the fact that she was strong no matter the circumstances. Even when she was just a breeder to my brother, I couldn’t stay away. Her eyes pulled me in. Her scent wanted me so badly it numbed my senses. It took away my sense of control.I leaned back against the cave wall, wanting to sle

Chapter 104: The Hunger in the Cave

Calla's POVI stretched slowly as I woke up, my body aching in the best and worst ways. The cave floor was hard beneath the blanket, but Brynne’s scent still lingered on it … warm, masculine, comforting. I reached out blindly, expecting to feel his chest or arm beside me.He wasn’t there.My eyes snapped open. The cave was empty except for the dying embers of the fire and the faint morning light filtering through the vines at the entrance. Panic hit me like a wave. I sat up quickly, heart racing.“Brynne?” I called, voice hoarse.No answer.I stood up on shaky legs, ignoring the dull throb in my wrist where the black veins still pulsed faintly. I looked around the small cave, checking every shadow, every corner. Nothing. He was gone. The fear that had been simmering since the dungeon came rushing back. Had he left me? Had the plague made him abandon me too?I rushed out of the cave, barefoot and still in my torn dress, the cold morning air biting at my skin. My bare feet slipped on

Chapter 105: The Weight of the Past

Calla's POVThe fire had burned low, casting soft orange light across the cave walls. Brynne held me close, his chest rising and falling against my back, his arm wrapped possessively around my waist. The aftermath of our passion still hummed through my body … a pleasant ache between my thighs, the taste of him still on my lips. For a few stolen moments, the world outside didn’t exist. Only us. But reality always found its way back.We eventually dressed in silence, the air between us thick with unspoken words. Brynne helped me adjust my torn dress, his fingers lingering on my shoulders. When we stepped out of the cave, the hot afternoon air hit us like a slap. The forest was quiet, the glowing flowers from the night before now closed, waiting for darkness to return.I walked a few steps ahead, breathing in the fresh air, trying to clear my head. The black veins on my wrist throbbed faintly, a constant reminder of the plague inside me. I turned to Brynne, my voice soft but steady.

Chapter 106: The Breeder’s Name

Calla's POVMara’s eyes stayed locked on my wrist, and the color slowly leached from her face.“She’s infected,” she said flatly. She took a step back, pulling Rook with her by the sleeve. “Brynne. She’s infected. That’s not a scratch, those are the veins … she’s as good as dead, and she could take the rest of us with her.” Her gaze snapped up to mine, hard and accusing. “How long? How long have you been carrying that?”My stomach dropped. My hand moved on instinct, tugging the torn sleeve down over the black threads crawling up toward my elbow, trying to hide it … and that was when I realized how far it had spread. The veins reached higher than they had this morning. Higher than I’d let myself look. I’d been so wrapped up in Brynne, in the cave, in the stolen hours of pretending, that I hadn’t noticed it spreading.I hadn’t noticed it getting worse.Cass and Rook had gone still in that animal way, the easy charm gone, every line of them ready to bolt. Three steps a moment ago the

Chapter 107: The War Camp

Calla's POVBrynne didn’t look away from Mara when he spoke. His voice had dropped into something low and final, his tone didn’t leave room for argument.“She stays with me. Soon we’ll find a cure … there’s work being done, healers we can reach. And she didn’t bring the plague. Those are rumors. Frightened people looking for a face to spit at.” His arm came around me, solid and warm. “I won’t hear another word against her. Not from you. Not from anyone.”Mara held his stare for a long moment which was commendable , then dipped her head … not quite an apology, but a yielding.Brynne turned to me, and his expression shifted, softening at the edges even as the command stayed in his eyes. “Still. I think we keep this between us. No one out here learns who you are. Not your name, not where you came from.” His thumb brushed my jaw. “I need you to be safe. Is that clear?”I nodded.I hated it. I hated the way they spoke about me like I was a problem to be managed, a secret to be smuggled,

Chapter 108: The Message

Calla's POVI pushed open the flap of Brynne’s tent and stepped inside.“Oh, fuck. What the hell.”Cass was sitting on the bed. The one with the scar across his jaw and now he just looked scarier. He sat there like he owned the place, elbows on his knees, watching me with calm eyes. The little fire in the corner threw shadows across his face.My hand went straight to my back pocket. Brynne had given me a small knife earlier, just in case. My fingers closed around the handle.“What are you doing here?” I asked. My voice came out steadier than I felt.Cass smiled. It wasn’t a friendly smile.“I have a little message for you, dear Calla.”My stomach dropped. He knew my name. Brynne had told me to keep it secret, and this man was already using it like it was nothing.“From who?” I asked. I kept my hand on the knife.“Oh.” Cass leaned back, slow and easy. “Just our future Alpha. Tyson.”The name hit me like cold water.My knees went weak. I had to lock them so I wouldn’t drop. Tyson. Out

Chapter 109: The Negotiator

Calla's POVThe meeting tent was bigger than Brynne’s. A low fire burned in the center, and the air was thick with smoke and the smell of too many bodies. Brynne’s commanders stood along one side. Across from them, near the entrance, the enemy’s messenger waited under a white cloth tied to a stick … the flag of truce.I stayed close behind Brynne with my hood low, just like I’d promised. Just another guard. Just a shape in the shadows.Then the messenger turned his head, and the firelight caught his face.I froze.I knew him.I knew him so well it made my blood go cold. I had seen that face a hundred times. In Tyson’s halls. At Tyson’s table. Standing at Tyson’s shoulder while Tyson spoke to me soft and kind and told me I was safe.He was Tyson’s right hand. His closest man. The one who never left his side.And he was standing ten feet from me.My heart slammed so hard I thought everyone could hear it. I wanted to run. I wanted to disappear into the ground. Coming here had been a m

Chapter 110: What the Drink Loosens

Calla's POVBrynne stormed out of the tent first.“Fuck,” he said under his breath. Then louder, to no one. “Fuck.”I slipped out after him, keeping my hood up. He was walking fast, his shoulders tight, his hands still curled like he wanted to hit something. The whole camp seemed to lean away from him as he passed. Even the wounded went quiet.I had to half-run to keep up.He didn’t head back to his tent. He cut across the hollow toward the far edge of the camp, where a larger tent sat with its sides rolled up and a few rough tables set out front. It was the closest thing this place had to a pub … a supply tent that someone had turned into a drinking spot, with barrels in the back and tired soldiers hunched over cups. The smell of cheap ale drifted out into the cold.Brynne walked straight in and slammed his hand on a barrel.“Drink,” he told the man behind it. “All of it.”I stopped at the edge of the light.I should stop him. That was my first thought. He was the Alpha. He had a
