Chapter 51Aurelia’s POVThe High Sanctuary of Aethelgard stood drenched in the eternal golden twilight of the Solarion realms, but for nineteen years, it had felt like a forgotten tomb.I stood by the edge of the crystal pool on the upper terrace, white lotus petals drifting lazily across the water's surface. My fingers trembled as I pressed them flat against my sternum.My chest was burning; not with the dull, hollow ache of grief that had carved out my spirit ever since I lost my family, but with an glowing bright, in fact blinding heat, I couldn't explain. Maybe I had finally found where to channel the emotions I had felt for the past nineteen years.She answered.For nineteen long years, I lived under the suffocating weight of a devastating lie. I believed that severing blast from night of her birth had incinerated my newborn child and her father into ash. I believed my light had failed them. I spent nearly two decades retreating into the high courts of my mothers, broken, power

Chapter 53Lilith’s POVThe heavy iron doors of the keep’s archives groaned on their ancient hinges, releasing a puff of a hip of stagnant, dust-laden air that made the flame of my oil lantern flicker violently, as if it would go off.Beside me, Morgana carried a tall stack of leather-bound ledgers, her dark eyes scanning the shadow-drenched stone shelves that stretched into the damp depths beneath the fortress."Does the Alpha knows you’re down here?" Morgana asked, her voice dropping into a low, cautious murmur as she set her books down on a heavy oak table, that layed in the middle of the hall."Cassian is in the great hall with Brandon, reviewing the border patrols," I replied softly, setting my lantern beside hers. "If I told him I was coming down here, he would have assigned four sentries to guard the doorway. I don't need guards right now, Morgana. I need answers."Ever since the dream, the warmth beneath my skin hadn't returned. It pulsed steadily against my ribs, a gentle, go

Chapter 55Lilith’s POVIn subterranean archive, dead silence filled the air, and was in a while broken only by the rapid, shallow rhythm of my breathing and the heavy, metallic silence that clung Cassian tightly to my skin. Like if he let me go I could vanish before his eyes.Cassian stood motionless on the damp flagstones, his large, rough hand still hovering inches from my neck where my collar had slipped. His dark silver eyes burned with a mixture of raw protectiveness, confusion, and a sudden, sharp edge of panic that his Alpha aura couldn't hide.He did not yell. Yelling would mean prove that he was scared. He didn't demand as well. Instead, his fingers was gently hooked into the neckline of my wool dress, pulling the heavy fabric just enough to expose the blooming mark on my shoulder.The crest didn't look like a scar. It wasn't any resemblance of dark appearance like Maelis's brutal runes. It was a radiant, metallic line of liquid gold embedded under my skin; a central sunbur

Chapter 56Lilith’s POVI held onto Cassian's hands, sitting through the suffocating silence in the private study above yhe armory. Meanwhile, outside, the northern wind hit the stone walls violently, but inside, only the crackle of the hearth fire broke the tension hanging between us in the room.Master Vane sat across the heavy oak desk, his weathered hands resting flat on an ancient, velvet-wrapped ledger he had pulled from his personal chest. His eyes; milky white with age and blind to the physical world, were fixed precisely in my direction, as if he could see the radiant golden light humming beneath my skin clearer than anyone else.Cassian stood up, walked towards the hearth, leaning his broad shoulder against the stone mantle. His leather tunic was unbuttoned at the neck, his posture deceptively still, but the low, territorial rumble vibrating deep in his chest filled every corner of the room."You summoned me to speak of the celestial grimoire, Lord Alpha," Vane murmured, hi

Chapter 58Lilith’s POVThe white-hot celestial fire roared like an angry beast, the heat so intense that the stone cliffs beneath my boots groaned and began to liquefy into glowing slag. Dry brush along the eastern ridge ignited in a blinding chain reaction, throwing towering plumes of white smoke into the cold morning air."Pull back! Fall back from the boundary!"Brandon’s frantic shouts echoed down from the eastern watchtower as pack warriors scrambled down the wooden ladders, their faces scorched black, their heavy iron shields glowing red-hot from the sheer proximity of the solar blaze."I can't stop it!" I gasped, my voice swallowed by the deafening crackle of burning ozone. I slammed my hands together, trying to force the light back into my chest, but every pulse of my panic only fed the inferno, sending violent lances of golden fire shooting fifty feet into the sky.Suddenly, a massive shape tore through the smoke.Cassian didn't hesitate. He didn't draw a blade, and he didn'
