"Let's go, then. Watch your back." We run side by side. I spot Timmon standing a few feet away, and he's struggling with two Gamma-borns. We stop to help them, and Cadeon delivers the fatal blow. Timmon's nose is bleeding, and he wipes it with his sleeve. "What's going on? Where are you two going?" "The pack house. It's on fire. They might need support up there." Timmon nods. "I'll go with you." When we get there, my legs are burning from running up the hill so fast, but I'm determined to find my family. The whole front of the house is littered with dead bodies, and the sight shocks me so much that I can't tell if they're our dead or not.

Nueva inhaled a deep breath, and her nostrils filled with earthy woodland, rich chocolate, and animal fur. It took her a few microseconds to register the last thing she had smelt, and her eyes flung open in the exact moment something heavy hit her in the back of her neck. Nueva stumbled forward and landed on her stomach. A glimpse of brown fur through the flames of the campfire was the last thing she saw before darkness enveloped her.

A wave of fire hit him square in the face, burning his head off. "Mimbi?" was all Scarlett was able to say. "She was also ordered to evacuate. GO!!!!!" screamed the High Chieftess, as she and her blood-soaked rhea ran towards a group of Hova. Scarlett ran towards the stables. A group of women was already herding the rheas away from the fire and towards the forest. As they tried to put out the fire on the stables' roof, a Hova and a Karaina fought head to head near the entrance.

“I love you.” Rebecca smiled as she kissed her lover’s forehead before she stared into his green eyes. “I love you Noah.” I hissed in pain as the sounds of crying and screaming, the smell of fire burning a building as I heard Rebecca screaming Noah’s name. I could see everything Rebecca saw as she watched her house with her husband inside burning to the ground unable to do anything before a sword stabbed her from behind. I could feel the pain, the sword sinking deeper and deeper in her body as it punctured every vital organ as blood dripped from her mouth while tears escaped her eyes.

Whatever had happened in their absence—whatever awaited them on the other side of this battle—she would face it. Because she wasn’t just fighting for herself anymore. She was fighting for the world. And the war was far from over. The scent of smoke thickened the air as they moved beyond the temple ruins. Fires flickered in the distance, illuminating the night with an eerie glow. The capital city, once a beacon of strength, was now engulfed in chaos. Lena’s stomach twisted. How many lives had been lost while they were trapped in the Rift? Cassian led the way down the crumbling temple steps, his posture tense, his sword drawn. Dorian and Idris flanked them, their eyes scanning the darkness. Th

Something inside me clenched at the sight. Someone who would love me like that. “We have to get them out of here!” Marcus’ voice tore through the noise. Gunfire shot through the air, mixing with the snarls and screams. The entire compound had descended into madness—wolves fighting, men shouting, bodies dropping. Marcus moved first, hoisting Silas onto his shoulder with a grunt. I followed, dropping to my knees and grabbing Riley, my arms wrapping around him as I forced myself up. He was heavier than I expected—dead weight in my hold—but I would not leave him behind.

She shouted for Cynthia to hear "I hope you like fire because its gonna be very hot" Smoke was beginning to fill the shed and even worse, there were lots of dried hay kept near the entrance of the shed and they had already caught fire. Cynthia was frantic, she tried to still believe that this was a prank, that Nacen and kevin and Jake would all pop out and laugh about her experience. But she knew it wasn't happening, the flames in front of her were real and she was already starting to lack air. Some of the fire almost touched her but she ran away from them. Soon she couldn't see, she couldn't breathe well. In fact she couldn't do anything. She didn't have the strength to shout anymore, so al

She gritted her teeth in anger. The air around them was getting heavy. The silence was so uncomfortable, but neither of them wanted to be the first to break it. They had different emotions swirling in them. "As much as I enjoy this staring competition, I'm starving, can we eat now please?" Fred spoke. "I'll go get the food," Reggie stood up. "I'll go with you," Alice and Nora said at the same time as they made to stand up. Alice glared at Nora. "I'll stay with Fred," Nora said as she sank into the chair. She gently took her sandwich from her tray and dug her teeth in it.

Chapter 57 Vivian’s POV The big center tent was exploding behind us. The heat from the orange flames was very hot against my back. Gabriel was still holding me tight against his chest. We were trying to run away from the middle of the burning Voss camp. The air was full of thick black smoke. It was hard to breathe, and it was hard to see the path. All around us, wood beams were cracking and falling down in flames. "Keep moving, Vivian!" Gabriel shouted over the loud roar of the fire.

Eyes the colour of embers in a dying fire — that deep red that meant something had been burning for a very long time and wasn't done. He had looked at her. Straight through the vision, straight across whatever impossible distance separated their worlds, straight into her — with the flat, assessing focus of something that had never in its existence had to ask for permission.
