The roaring crowd sounded like a furious storm shaking the heavy stone walls above us.Before I could say another word, four heavily armored guards burst into the holding room with drawn swords. They yanked me away from the bars, dragging me up a winding stone staircase toward the royal viewing box while two guards unlocked Valen’s cell.I looked back over my shoulder one last time. Valen stood tall, his chest clear of wounds and his golden eyes blazing with pure, unstoppable power."I'll be right there, Lyra!" he called out over the noise. "Hold on!"The heavy iron doors at the top of the stairs creaked open, blinding me with sudden daylight.They shoved me into a small iron cage attached to the King’s high balcony. Below us lay the grand arena a massive circular pit of red dirt and sharp stone spikes. Thousands of royal pack members filled the stadium seats, screaming and cheering in a wild frenzy.Sitting on his golden throne right beside my cage was King Arthur, wearing full battl

I stared down at the glowing silver stone sitting on the cold floor.My heart was pounding like a drum. Tears blurred my eyes, but the dark red fire in my blood burned hotter than ever."A life for a life?" I whispered, my voice shaking in the dark room. "Whose life?"The giant white wolf stepped closer, its glowing eyes staring straight into my soul.“The price of pulling a soul back from the underworld is steep,” the wolf’s voice echoed inside my head. “You must take the life of the person who broke his fate. You must kill the murderer before the blood on his blade turns cold.”"Kael," I spat, my jaw tightening as pure hatred washed over me. "I have to kill Kael."“Yes,” the wolf replied. “Touch the silver stone. Use the red fire in your blood to open the door. But hurry, Lyra. Valen’s soul is reaching the shadow gates. Once he crosses, even the gods cannot bring him back.”I didn't think twice. I reached out and slammed my hand against the silver stone.The red fire on my skin expl

Selena’s black claws dug deep into the collar of my shirt, her cold breath hitting my neck like ice.Below me, Valen dangled over the pitch-black void, his hand locked tightly in mine. Further down, King Arthur was pulling on Valen's ankle with all his dark shadow strength, trying to drag us all down into the abyss."Choose, Lyra!" Selena purred softly into my ear, her voice dripping with poison. "Cut Arthur loose with your silver blade, or I'll let you drop right now.""Lyra, don't listen to her!" Valen yelled over the howling wind, his grip slipping an inch against my sweaty palm. "She's going to betray you anyway!"My mind raced desperately. The stone slab under my chest was crumbling fast. I couldn't hold Valen much longer, and Selena’s grip was the only thing keeping me from sliding off the broken edge."I don't have all night, little wolf," Selena hissed, tightening her grip on my shirt.I looked down into Valen’s golden eyes. In the middle of all the wind and roaring darkness,

The horse let out a wild, pained scream!It reared back on its hind legs, throwing Valen off its saddle into the deep snow before bolting into the dark forest."Lyra!" Valen yelled, scrambling up from the snow and drawing his sword.My body moved on its own, completely controlled by Selena’s dark spirit. I swung my leg over my horse and dropped gracefully to the ground. A cruel, wicked smile stretched across my face a smile that wasn't mine.My eyes flared with bright, terrifying purple fire."Look at you, brave little Prince," my mouth spoke with Selena's cold, echoing voice. "Surrounded by rogue beasts, and your precious mate is holding the blade!"The rogue leader raised his heavy iron axe, his red eyes wide with surprise. "What is this magic? Is she possessed?!""Kill the Prince!" Selena roared through my throat, waving my hand toward the rogues. "I will grant dark power to whoever brings me his head!"The twenty massive black wolves let out bloodthirsty snarls. Spurred by Selena’

"No, no, no!" Valen sobbed, his voice cracking as he desperately tried to gather the glowing white dust back into his hands. "Lyra, stay with me! Don't leave me!"My legs and arms were already gone, turned into floating sparks of bright white light. The pain in my chest was fading into a deep, peaceful warmth, but watching Valen weep above me broke what was left of my heart."I saved you..." I whispered, my voice barely a breeze in the freezing mountain air. "I kept my promise, Valen.""I don't care about being saved if I don't have you!" Valen roared into the dark sky.He didn't hesitate. Valen brought his hand to his own chest, plunging his fingers straight into the glowing Alpha mark on his heart.A blinding gold flame erupted from his chest, illuminating the entire snowy valley."Valen... stop!" I gasped as my torso began to turn into dust. "You'll destroy your own soul!""We share one bond, Lyra!" Valen growled through clenched teeth, his golden eyes blazing with pure, unstoppabl
