The forest didn’t end.It only changed.The deeper Kael led her, the more the world felt like it was peeling away from reality. The trees grew older here, thicker trunks, twisted roots like frozen veins. The moonlight didn’t fall normally anymore. It bled through the canopy in fractured silver shards, as if even light was afraid to stay whole.Lira walked fast just to keep up.Not because she trusted him.But because the sounds behind them refused to disappear.Every now and then, a distant howl would cut through the silence like a reminder: she was still being hunted.And Kael Draven was still holding her wrist.He hadn’t let go since the fight.“You walk like you expect the ground to betray you,” Kael said without looking at her.Lira shot him a glare. “Because it usually does.”“That’s a lie.”“It’s experience.”That made him glance at her—just briefly. Silver eyes scanning her face like he was reading something she hadn’t spoken out loud.Then he looked forward again.“You’re shak

The scream didn’t end.It tore through the fortress like something alive, raw, jagged, breaking against stone and sky until even the wolves below fell silent.Lira couldn’t breathe.Her chest burned like fire had replaced her lungs. Every vein felt too small for whatever was trying to move through it. It wasn’t just pain.It was pressure.Power.Something ancient clawing its way to the surface.“Make it stop…” she gasped, though she didn’t know who she was begging.The ground beneath her cracked again.A pulse of energy burst outward, violent and uncontrolled, knocking nearby warriors off their feet. The flames below flickered wildly, bending toward her like they were drawn to whatever she was becoming.Kael didn’t move.Not immediately.For the first time since anyone in his pack had ever known him.Kael Draven hesitated.Not out of fear.Out of calculation.Out of something far more dangerous.Uncertainty.Riven saw it.And laughed.“That’s the problem with power you don’t understan

Night didn’t fall gently. It claimed the sky. The last traces of sunlight bled out behind the mountains, swallowed whole by a darkness that felt too heavy to be natural. The moon rose slowly, red again, deeper than before, like it had been waiting for this moment. Waiting for her. Lira stood on the upper platform, the cold wind brushing against her skin, but she barely felt it. Everything inside her was louder than the world outside. Her heartbeat. Her breath. The power. It hadn’t disappeared after the confrontation. It had settled. Coiled. Watching. “You’re doing it again.” Kael’s voice came from behind her. Calm. Controlled.&nbs

The silence didn’t last. It never did. Not in a place like this, where war had already knocked once and promised to return louder. The courtyard slowly came back to life, but not in relief. There were no cheers, no victory calls. Only low voices, sharp movements, and eyes that kept drifting back to Lira. Watching. Measuring. Fearing. She felt it. Every single one. “They’re looking at me like I’m the enemy,” she said quietly. Kael stood beside her, his gaze scanning the perimeter, calculating risks that hadn’t even appeared yet. “They’re looking at you like they don’t understand you,” he replied. “That’s not better.” “No,” he a

The scream didn’t sound human anymore. It echoed through the corridor like something ancient had torn its way free, rattling the stone walls hard enough to crack them further. Power burst outward from Lira in violent waves, swallowing the air around her. Kael was thrown back a step. Not because he was weak. Because whatever was happening to her was growing stronger. Fast. “Lira!” She barely heard him. The energy inside her twisted violently, surging beneath her skin like wildfire. It hurt. Not sharp. Not physical. Worse. It felt alive. Hungry. Her knees nearly buckled as another wave exploded outward, extinguishing the torches lining the corridor. Darkness crashed over them in
