It was finally evening and I was finally resting, getting ready to leave for the night, when my assistant slowly walked into my office “Mr thornfield is here to see you ma.” “please let him in” I replied When Micheal walked in, he didn’t waste time with pleasantries, he closed the door behind him and placed his tablet on the table, sliding it towards me. “Monique isn’t just Blake’s girlfriend,” he said. She’s been siphoning funds, forging approvals and manipulating internal audits. I skimmed through the files, my expression unreadable. Fake cridentials. Shell accounts. A child she’d hidden. Transfers that led back to the trust group’s primary account.

Xavier’s POV Blood had a way of changing the air. It thickened it. Weighted it. Turned every breath into something heavier than it should have been. By the time I stepped out into the open courtyard at the heart of the ruins, the world had already drowned in it. Bodies littered the ground. Rogues. Warriors. Corrupted things that barely resembled what they once were. The ancient stone beneath my claws was slick, stained dark, reflecting the crimson glow of torches that flickered wildly against the walls.

The dawn did not bring light to Black Ridge; it only revealed the extent of the carnage. The snow was no longer white, but a bruised purple, stained by the toxic ichor of the Blight-Wolves. Rhea stood in the center of the courtyard, her chest heaving, her crimson gown now tattered and soaked in a mixture of her own blood and that of her enemies.

The ruins were close now, closer than they had ever been. The land began to shift as they walked. The rolling hills flattened into a vast expanse of stone, broken by jagged pillars that jutted toward the sky like the bones of a long-dead beast. The Celestial Ruins loomed in the distance, half-hidden in the fog, an ancient structure bathed in an eerie, silver glow. Rael adjusted his grip on his sword. "So this is it? The place the First King’s writings led us to?" Myrra nodded, her violet eyes scanning the fractured landscape. "It has to be. This place feels… different."

“Weaver’s there. Waiting at the ruins. He’s weaving a big spell—dark threads everywhere.” They reached the ruins at midday, the ancient stone structures half-buried in snow, their walls etched with ice magic runes that glowed faintly blue. At the center of the ruins, a platform rose, its surface covered in a mosaic of trinity symbols—wolf, phoenix, ice crystal—now marred by dark threads that crawled across the stone like veins. And standing on the platform, hands raised, was the weaver of shadows. Their cloak billowed in the wind, and around them, a vortex of magic swirled—void, fire, shadow, ice, all tangled together in a chaotic storm.

The air grew heavy, thick with a sense of dread, a real weight that pressed down on her, knocking over her breath. As she crossed the invisible line, the world around her shifted, warped, as if the very fabric of reality had changed. The ruins, once a familiar landscape of decay, now resembled a monstrous mockery of their former selves, twisted and contorted, their silhouettes elongated and menacing. The air shimmered, a faint crimson haze clinging to the ruins like a blanket, distorting the light, casting everything in an unsettling, blood-tinged hue. Her heart started to beat quite rapidly, fear tripping in.

The ruins of the western wing of the estate still smoldered, the air thick with smoke, ash, and the coppery scent of blood. Silver fire had scorched the marble floors, and the echoes of collapsing drones reverberated through the skeletal remains of what had once been the heart of Stain Globals headquarters.

Someone to watch my back… in this life there was no one but me. The battlefield around us was a ruin. A shrine of violence. Cracked stone, scorched trees, bodies turned to pulp. Our movements had pulverized wolves, both corrupted and rogue, into nothing more than red stains on the earth. A meat pile. A twisted, steaming mound of shredded flesh, sundered limbs, and broken spines. The kind of thing you’d expect if a god took a blade to a slaughterhouse. And in the center of it all, Varen stood.

Ethan’s P.O.V Blood pooled on the ground, mixing with the ash and dust of the ruins. The night air reeked of burning flesh, agonized screams, and the final gasps of those foolish enough to resist. A pack that once stood proud under Alpha Torrance’s rule. Now reduced to rubble and corpses.

I was already in bed, back turned to his side of the mattress, pretending to be asleep when I heard the door open. I kept my breathing slow. Rian didn’t turn on the light. He walked straight to the bathroom and closed the door. I heard the shower turn on. A few minutes later the water stopped. The door opened. He stepped out. I sat up slowly. His hands were wet. His shirt had dark stains on it. Even in the low light I could tell. Blood. My stomach dropped. “What’s that?” I whispered, staring at the red on his hands and shirt. He looked calm. He walked to the sink in the open kitchen area, turned on the tap, and started washing his hands like it was the most normal thing in the world. Red swi
