The scream ripped through the palace. Windows shattered instantly. Several healers collapsed to the floor clutching their ears while black smoke exploded outward from Darius’s body violently enough to crack the walls. Then suddenly,everything went still. Too still. Darius froze completely at the center of the room. Head lowered. Body rigid. My pulse slowed dangerously. “Darius?” No response. The King moved instantly. “Everyone out.” The command snapped through the room sharply. The healers fled without hesitation. Kael grabbed one guard by the arm and shoved him toward the hallway before the man could argue. Within seconds, only four of us remained. Me, Kael, the King, and Darius. Or whatever was fighting inside him. Black veins pulsed slowly beneath his skin now. Not spreading. Waiting. The silence stretched painfully. Then Darius lifted his head, and smiled. Everything about it was wrong, too sharp, too calm, too cruel. Cold terror slid down my spine. The

The scream shook the palace.Black smoke exploded violently from Darius’s body as the Original lost control for half a second.That was all I needed.“Darius.”His hand still gripped my throat.Hard.Pain burned beneath the claws pressing against my skin.But the trembling had gotten worse.Gold flickered through his eyes again.The Original snarled furiously.“He is MINE.”“No,” I said softly.Then I placed my hand over his heart.The darkness recoiled instantly beneath my palm.Like my touch physically burned it.Darius jerked sharply.A broken sound tore from his throat.The Original tried tightening its grip again, but couldn’t.Because Darius was fighting back now, really fighting.The King stepped forward immediately, silver power gathering around him.“Now!”Kael moved too despite his injuries, blade flashing toward the darkness curling around Darius’s body.But the Original reacted instantly.Black smoke erupted outward violently, throwing both of them backward again.The wind

The tremor shook the entire palace.Servants screamed somewhere in the distant halls as dust drifted from the ceiling again.But inside the room, the darkness inside Darius recoiled.Not dramatically, not defeated, but wounded.The black veins across his throat flickered uncertainly like cracks struggling to hold shape.The Original stared at me with something dangerously close to hatred.Good.For the first time since this began, it was reacting instead of controlling.The King stepped forward slowly, silver eyes fixed entirely on Darius.“The corruption weakened.”Kael pointed immediately.“Yeah, we all saw the evil veins stop moving. Continue.”Honestly, still committed to sarcasm during apocalyptic emotional warfare.Darius remained on one knee breathing hard.Sweat dampened his hair now from the strain of fighting internally.But his eyes, mostly gold again.The Original’s control was slipping.“You think acceptance frees you?” it hissed through him.Its voice sounded less stable

The scream echoed across the kingdom.Not through sound, but through something deeper.Every wolf in the palace froze as black smoke erupted from Darius’s body and slammed against the ceiling like a dying storm.Then, silence.The darkness cracked apart in mid air.Fragments of black energy shattered across the room like ash caught in sunlight.The Original screamed again.Weaker and desperate now. “No, NO”Golden light exploded from Darius violently enough to throw everyone backward.The corruption burned.Actually burned.The black smoke twisted wildly trying to reform and failed.Because there was nothing left anchoring it anymore, no fear, no possession, nor emotional chain to hold onto.The thing had spent centuries surviving inside people who confused love with ownership.And the moment that stopped, it began dying.Darius collapsed hard against me.Breathing, alive and warm.My arms wrapped around him instinctively as the last remnants of darkness ripped themselves free from h

Three days later, the kingdom finally stopped feeling like it was actively collapsing.Mostly.Workers still repaired damaged walls across the city, and parts of the lower district remained blocked off after the creatures attacked during the seal breach.But people laughed again now, markets reopened and children ran through the streets.Life continued.Which honestly felt strange after spending weeks convinced the world might end.I stood in the palace training yard trying very hard not to accidentally destroy another target dummy.Again.The wooden remains of three previous victims lay scattered across the grass already.Kael stared at the destruction with deep disappointment.“You know those are expensive, right?”“I’m adjusting.”“You vaporized one.”“In my defense, it insulted me.”Kael looked genuinely tired.“The dummy did not insult you.”“You weren’t there.”A laugh sounded behind us.I turned instinctively, and my breath caught for half a second.Darius.Still unfairly attra
