Neris's POV"Tell me the truth. All of it. Right now, before I lose whatever trust I have left in any of you."I say it to all three of them at once, my voice carrying a rawness I haven't allowed myself since the forest, the Architect's words still echoing through my chest like a wound that won't close.Cassian is the first to speak, his composure cracking under the weight of what we've just intercepted. "My family's investigation into your mother's candidacy happened years before I was born, Neris. I told you that already.""Did you know about it before I arrived at the academy? Not simply your father's old records. Did you know, consciously, before you ever met me, that your family had history connected to my bloodline?"He's quiet for a moment too long."My uncle mentioned it once," he admits finally, his voice carrying genuine shame now. "Before I enrolled. A passing comment about our family's historical interest in dormant Virel bloodlines, framed as simple academic curiosity rat

Neris's POV"I'm not asking you to leave."The words come out quieter than I intend, settling into the darkness between us, and something shifts visibly across all three faces when they realize what I've actually said."You're not," Cassian confirms carefully, as though testing whether he's understood correctly."I'm still angry. I'm still trying to understand what's genuinely mine in all of this, versus what someone else calculated years in advance." I meet each of their eyes in turn, exhaustion and grief and something considerably more complicated settling into place alongside my wolf's earlier counsel. "But I don't think walking alone into whatever's coming next actually proves anything, except that I'm willing to let the Architect's manipulation cost me exactly the people who've already proven, repeatedly, that whatever began as calculation grew into something real.""We don't need you to forgive us tonight," Evren says quietly, stepping closer despite obvious caution. "We only ne

Neris's POV"Cassian, the northern gateway, now!"I shout it across the chaos of the battlefield, watching silver light intensify at the northern marker where Cassian's defensive position has held for the better part of an hour.He doesn't hesitate, already moving toward the pulsing stone with a handful of his loyal former household guards, blade drawn despite the obvious exhaustion carved into every line of his posture.I follow as quickly as the battlefield's chaos allows, my own wolf answering every obstacle with controlled, deliberate strength, and arrive at the northern perimeter just as the gateway's light reaches its most intense pulse yet.A figure steps through the widening silver tear in reality, flanked by warriors in Rowe colors, and Cassian's entire body goes rigid the moment recognition settles across his features."Uncle."Varrick Rowe emerges fully from the gateway's silver light, his composed authority carrying none of the uncertainty I'd expect from someone who's app

Neris's POV"There's a way to close it. I found it in the same texts that revealed the Threshold's original purpose."Lucien's voice carries urgent, focused clarity despite the devastation spreading across the academy's grounds, silver light consuming structures one section at a time as he spreads a hastily sketched diagram across the ground before us."Then tell me," I say, my chest tight with mounting dread as another section of the rebuilt dormitory dissolves into radiant light behind him."It can't be closed from outside. Not through force, not through raw power, not even through the First Blood's authority alone." His voice carries genuine unease now. "The only way to seal this kind of uncontrolled opening is from within, physically present at the gateway's actual core, the same way Theron closed the eastern point."Dread settles cold and absolute across my chest. "You're saying someone needs to walk directly into that.""Yes.""Absolutely not." The words leave me before I can pr

Neris's POV"Explain the choice. Clearly. I need to understand exactly what you're asking of me."My voice carries steady despite the dread building beneath it, the vast silver landscape stretching endlessly around Lucien and me as the ancient consciousness's final words settle heavy across everything else I've already absorbed.The First Blood's power, fully awakened and unified the way you currently carry it, keeps this Threshold open. Permanently, inexorably, regardless of whatever temporary sealing you might attempt. The voice carries genuine, careful weight now. As long as you retain that power in its current form, the gateway remains vulnerable, a permanent wound between both worlds that something considerably darker will eventually learn to exploit, regardless of how many individual gateways you manage to close through sacrifice like the one your friend's brother demonstrated."Then I need to release it," I say slowly, understanding settling cold and absolute despite the enormi
