Chapter 101

Zoriven’s POVI stared down into the wooden box, my breath trapping tight in my chest.The white silk, beautiful as I could remember, the best milky silk money can get, but now, ruined in the worst possible way.A huge, jagged piece of it was soaked through with bright red blood, the stains still dripping wet, turning the fabric heavy and dark. It was the exact dress Martha had been working on for days, the dress that was supposed to be a secret, only to be seen on the wedding day.The dress Seravyn was supposed to wear tomorrow.My hands started to shake as I reached into the box and pulled the cloth out. It felt warm in my fingers, the blood clearly not old. It had just happened."Zoriven," Kaelen whispered, his face going completely pale under the yellow lamp light. He took a step back, his eyes glued to the bloody dress. "How did they get that? It was supposed to be locked up down in the Pack."A dark, heavy wave of hot blood crashed right through my head. I didn't think. I turne

Chapter 102

Zoriven’s POVFear hit me straight in the chest, my heart going two times faster.The lights going out, the loud horn blowing across the valley, it all meant one thing. Seravyn is in danger. The runner hadn't been trying to escape into the mountains. She had planned this whole thing to draw me away from the packhouse. She had tricked me.I kicked my horse into a wild, crazy run up the stone path, my heart pounding hard against my ribs. Kaelen and the warriors rode hard behind me, our horses hitting loudly in the dark night.The moment we hit the main courtyard, I jumped off the saddle before the horse even stopped moving, rushing inside to meet the packhouse as a complete mess. The loud alarm had brought everyone out of their beds with warriors running around with drawn swords, and servants moving about in the hallways.I burst through the heavy front doors, my eyes wide as I looked for her. "Seravyn!" I roared, my voice echoing off the high stone walls.I ran straight to the reside

Chapter 103

Seravyn’s POVMy breath trapped in my throat. I couldn't move a single muscle.The silver blade shone bright under the moon, right above my head. I looked up at the long metallic edge, watching the sharp edge staring back down at me. I didn't know what to think or feel then, so I took another step back.Then my eyes moved from the blade, going past the shaky hand gripping the base, and straight into the face of the person holding it.My heart stopped, the shock hitting me so hard my knees went weak."Dela?" I whispered.It was her. Her blue eyes were wide and wild, her face totally pale and her teeth knocking together. The sweet, helpful maid who had made my tea and brushed my hair was standing right in front of me with a weapon dangling over my head."Dela, what is happening?" My voice shook, tears instantly stinging my eyes. "What are you doing with that?""I'm sorry," Dela sobbed, a fat tear rolling down her white cheek. She didn't lower the blade. Her arms were trembling like cr

Chapter 104

Seravyn’s POVZoriven carried me all the way back to my bedroom, his arms locking around me like a warm blanket. He didn't set me down till we were right next to the bed.The room was warm, but the cold still slipped through me, my body shaking badly. He pulled the heavy blankets over me, tucking me in, then sat right on the edge of the mattress. He rubbed his large, warm hands over my freezing cheeks, forcing me to look straight into his warm eyes."Hey," he whispered, his voice deep and rough. "You're safe now. I've got you. Nobody is going to touch you in this house."I swallowed the huge lump in my throat, my fingers digging into the sheets. "Zoriven, I’m so scared. Everything is completely messed up right now.”“You don't have to, I'm here,” I whispered.“First the dinner,” I continued. “And now Dela…” I let the words linger as the image of the blade hanging over my eyes playing over and over through my mind.“I mean, Dela was so sweet, so nice to me. She took care of me, did e

Chapter 105

Caelrix’s POVThe words hung in the quiet air of the office like a foul stench.Seravyn? Pregnant?My heart stopped dead in my chest. For a second, I couldn't breathe, couldn't blink, couldn't even process the rest of the sounds coming out of the messenger's mouth. The room seemed to tilt on its side. A massive, icy shock ran straight down my spine, freezing me to my leather chair.She's having a baby? Zoriven’s baby?I tried to swallow, but my throat was completely dry. I forced my face to stay hard, trying with all my might to push the sudden spike of pain deep down into my stomach. I clamped my jaws together so tight my teeth ached, fighting the wild, raging urge to rip the desk in front of me in half. But the news didn't stay down, it bit right back into my chest, tearing at my insides like a wild beast.The young messenger was still standing by the door, trembling in his boots, his eyes wide as he waited for me.I couldn't look at him, couldn't even bring myself to tell him I'

Chapter 106

Caelrix’s POVExovyn’s words hit me like a splash of freezing water, stopping every muscle in me.I froze right where I was standing, my hand still locked around the chair by my side."What did you just say?" I asked, turning around slowly. My eyes went wide, staring at my Beta. I wondered if I was losing my mind or if he was just playing some kind of sick joke on me. "A way to reach her? Without starting a full-blown war? How the hell is that possible, Exovyn?" I asked, shifting closer slightly.For a second, the heavy weight in my chest actually lifted, a spark of pure joy exploding through my gut. I felt an instant rush of hope, my heart pounding against my ribs for a totally different reason now. If there was even a one-percent chance I could talk to Seravyn, I wanted it. I needed it.Exovyn looked totally calm as he leaned back against the edge of my wooden table, crossing his arms over his chest. "First of all, you need to chill out, Caelrix. Take a deep breath and sit back d

Chapter 107

Caelrix's POV We rode hard for the first two hours, the horses huffing white steam into the cool morning air as we cleared our Pack borders. But soon, the view around changed. The wide dirt paths turned into a narrow, completely idle road that narrowed down deep into the forgotten lower sectors of the neutral mountains. The path had been overgrown with weeds, the trees here overly thick and crooked, blocking out the sun. We had to kick down from our horses and lead them by their reins down the remaining way, walking over thick roots and piles of damp leaves."How much further?" I asked, breaking the long silence, my boots crunching loudly against the dirt."A couple more miles," Exovyn replied, looking around the quiet woods. "This road hasn't been used in years. The old ways don't like visitors, Caelrix. Are you sure you're ready for whatever answer you get today?"I paused, keeping my eyes fixed ahead, my jaw tight. "I need to know, Exovyn. Even if the answer kills me, I need to

Chapter 108

Seravyn’s POVI felt the words landing directly on my chest.Pregnant? My ears began to ring, a high-pitched buzz that drowned out the hum of the medical equipment. The white walls of the infirmary seemed to tilt, and the bright lights overhead suddenly felt blindingly hot, burning through my eyes.I sat frozen on the edge of the examination table, my fingers clutching the paper sheet beneath me so hard it ripped. My mind was a terrible mix of color and words flying around. Fear struck me, shock, and a strange, sudden warmth all crashed together in my chest, making it impossible to take a breath."Pregnant?" I finally whispered, my voice sounding incredibly small and hollow in the quiet room. I looked up at Lirvae, who was still practically vibrating with excitement, and then at Zoriven. "No. No, that’s not possible,” I muttered, shaking my head. “There has to be a mistake with the blood work. I’ve just been stressed."Lirvae let out a loud, joyful sound, stepping forward to grab

Chapter 109

Caelrix’s POVHer voice, really her voice.It didn't echo in the dusty air of the spooky hut. It echoed deep inside the small holes of my own mind. It was soft, shaky, and completely real. The exact same perfect voice I had fallen in love with those beautiful years.The voice that had kept me clinged for years, that beautiful melody rang through my ears again.For a split second, my heart stopped beating, a cold wave of nothing but fear shot through me, giving me that illusion that for a split second, I was just imagining things. Then it moved to the fear that if I breathed out just too loud, the connection would snap and leave me in that total darkness again. But then, the warmth of her presence flooded my soul again, a wave of shaky, breathless relief washed over me."Seravyn!" I cried out in my mind, my mental voice loud and desperate. "Yes, it's me. It's Caelrix. Please, don't close your mind. Just hear me out. Please!""Caelrix?" Her voice came back, sounding completely shocke
