Alpha’s POVI should have killed him the moment I saw him standing inside that cave. That thought stayed lodged inside my skull while torchlight flickered across Macha’s face and turned old memories into something uglier than grief.Because dead things were supposed to stay dead.Instead my brother stood in front of me breathing like the last thirteen years meant absolutely nothing, and the worst part was that some small broken piece of me still recognized him instantly.He had the same eyes, the same crooked mouth.Same irritating calm right before violence. Except now there was rot beneath it too. Madness.Behind me Karin shifted carefully beside Zero, but neither of them spoke yet because even they could feel this moment cracking open into something dangerous.Then another scent drifted through the cave. Familiar. My stomach dropped immediately. No.I turned sharply toward the shadows near the burial stones just as a figure stepped slowly into the torchlight. Elder Sira.For one s

Zara’s POVThe witches of Kesh Ina were starting to piss me off collectively.Like one giant creepy magical hive mind that apparently woke up every morning and decided the best possible use of their time was staring at me like I might explode if somebody blinked too hard.Which honestly felt rude considering I was already having a terrible week.“You’re doing it wrong.”I looked up from the glowing symbol carved into the dirt beneath my feet and glared straight at the old woman standing across from me. “Fantastic. Really specific.”The woman didn’t react. “You are forcing the spell,” she said calmly.“I literally do not know what that means,” I said as I struggled to sit up straight.“Magic breathes.”“Oh my God,” I muttered, throwing both hands into the air. “You people cannot explain anything without sounding haunted and weird.”A few younger witches standing near the training circle exchanged looks immediately.The training grounds sat deep inside Kesh Ina beneath massive black tr

Zara’s POVWhatever those witches thought they were whispering about, I could hear every damn word.Not clearly at first. It started like distant buzzing somewhere beyond the stone walls while I laid flat on the bed staring at the ceiling and trying very hard not to lose my mind again.The voices came again. My head snapped toward the wall immediately. I slowly sat upright while pain dragged across my spine and pressed my palm carefully against the cold wall beside the bed.The voices sharpened instantly. “…that girl could be the one.”I frowned immediately. One of the elder witches spoke again, her voice rough and uncertain now. “Are you sure about this? The girl is unstable.”“Unstable?” another one muttered. “She almost killed Mimi yesterday. If Lois had not stopped her..”“I know what happened.”“Well then maybe we should stop pretending this is normal.”I leaned harder against the wall automatically while my pulse started climbing faster beneath my ribs.What the hell were they

Zara’s POVThe second the blood stopped flowing, the body dropped. Just collapsed right there in my arms like somebody had cut all the strings holding him together.My chest heaved violently while blood ran warm down my throat, and honestly, for one horrifying second, I still wanted more. Fuck.The human hit the garden floor hard while my fingers twitched beside me, stained red up to my wrists. The smell alone almost dragged me forward again.My head spun violently while something deep inside me purred in satisfaction.“Zara.” Lois’s voice barely registered.I stared at the corpse breathing hard while my pulse hammered violently against my skull. The hunger slowly settled afterward, but not completely. That terrified the hell out of me.“Oh my God,” I whispered breathlessly. “Oh fuck…” The human was dead... actually dead, and I killed him. Drained him dry like some psychotic monster.Movement exploded around us suddenly. Witches rushed into the garden from every direction after sensin

Sean’s POVKesh Ina felt wrong the second I crossed into its forests. Not wrong like Blood Carticons after torture nights when the walls smelled like fear and blood and dying things.This place felt alive. Every branch above me creaked softly without wind touching it while glowing runes burned faintly across bark older than kingdoms. Strange lanterns hung between twisted branches deeper in the forest, swaying slowly in the dark.My hand stayed wrapped around the dagger beneath my coat while I moved carefully through the shadows trying not to make sound, but this forest heard everything. I could feel it watching me.And the worst part? I still kept moving because Zara was here. I could still feel her beneath me inside that collapsing corridor. The way her body shook after I bit her. My jaw clenched violently.I shouldn’t have lost control. I stopped walking for a second and dragged a hand roughly through my hair. “What the hell are you doing to me?” I muttered under my breath.The fore
