Chapter 222 A Listener Zander stiffened slightly. “You speak as if you’ve seen it.” The man smiled, faint but knowing. “I have heard enough.” Gavriel crossed his arms. “And what makes you think we’d allow a stranger to walk with us?” The old man met his gaze without hesitation. “Because
Chapter 221 A Lone Wanderer The journey to Velmora began in silence, not the peaceful kind but the heavy, uncertain silence. Everything had changed the moment that blinding radiance faded, the world felt stripped bare. No hum of magic in the air. No pull of inner wolves beneath their skin.
Chapter 220 Breathe Again “Nothing,” Melva replied instinctively. “I was just finishing preparations.” Simon’s frown deepened. It was obvious that he didn’t believe her. “You don’t feel like nothing,” he pointed out. “Not through the bond.” She sighed, shoulders sagging just a little. “I didn’t mean to let it slip,”
Chapter 219 What’s Wrong? Melva moved quietly through the palace corridors as soon as she was transported back. Chaos was everywhere, even spilling into Zander’s domain, where everyone had lost control of their inner wolves and turned on one another. She didn’t know how it had started. All she knew
Chapter 218 Not Ever Dust and debris froze midair as if time itself had paused to witness the moment. Hades screamed, the sound raw and furious. “No! This world is mine!” The white beam widened, pouring down like a river from the heavens. It touched Althea’s bowed head and the
Chapter 217 Powerless Powerless Althea’s hands trembled at her sides. Slowly, she turned to Gavriel and gave him a faint, reassuring smile. The moment he saw it, his heart dropped. “No…” Gavriel growled, trying to step toward her, but the dark mist tightened instantly, locking him in place. That smile.
Chapter 216 Choose Carefully The moment they stepped out of the dungeon, the air changed. It was subtle at first. A pressure that pressed against the skin as though the palace itself had drawn a slow, uneasy breath. The torches lining the stone corridor flickered violently, their flames bending inward
Chapter 215 Not Good The moment Rett released the attack, Cain moved without hesitation. With a guttural roar that shook the dungeon walls, his body shifted violently. Bones cracked and reshaped, muscles expanding as fur burst through his skin. In a blink, Cain stood between Althea and the incoming darkness,
Chapter 214 Father Cain strained against his chains. “Rett, stop!” But Rett only laughed, the sound broken and unhinged, echoing harshly against the stone walls of the dungeon. “If you had just listened and used her when you had the chance,” Rett barked, his voice rising with every word, “none
Chapter 213 A Plaque The portal shimmered once, then sealed behind them with a low hum that echoed through the palace corridor. Althea staggered the moment her feet touched solid ground. Zander was quick to steady her, his hand closing around her arm as a faint glow passed between them.
Chapter 212 Not Possible Candice stepped away calmly, smoothing her clothes as if she hadn’t just kissed him senseless. “Relax,” she said coolly. “You’ll live.” Osman spun toward where the portal had been, his eyes widening when he realized it was gone. “They left.” “Yes,” Candice replied simply. Then, as
Chapter 211 Read Me Althea felt it then. The loud, relentless thumping of her heart echoed in her ears, heavy and suffocating. She knew. Deep inside, she had always known how this would end. The man who raised her. The father she grew up calling her own. He would die.
Chapter 210 No Arguments The translucent dome shimmered softly at the center of the chamber, its surface alive with runes that pulsed in a steady rhythm. It arched over the bed where Princess Riela lay, enclosing her completely in a cocoon of protective magic. Gavriel stood just outside its boundary.
Chapter 209 In Chains Night and day seemed to stretch longer than they should have as Zander followed the spell he had placed on Rett, tracking him effortlessly wherever he went. Dark clouds smothered the sky above the ravine where Cain and Rett had built their hideout, a jagged nest
Chapter 208 The Perfect Host Midas walked away from the public execution grounds, his legs heavy as if each step was weighed down by the ashes of what had just transpired. The early morning sun had risen fully, casting long shadows across the plaza, but it offered no warmth to
Chapter 207 My Love Althea could not believe she had slept so long, and no one had even bothered to wake her. Sunlight was already seeping through the window, so she tried to move, only for Gavriel’s arms to tighten around her. He was hugging her from behind, their bodies
Chapter 206 Justice Is Done The public execution grounds had not been used in years. At dawn, the vast stone plaza of the capital city was already filled with people. Nobles stood beside commoners. Warriors in full armor lined the perimeter, their grim expressions. Whispers spread through the crowd like
Chapter 278 Chapter 278 FAYE Training days used to feel different. They used to burn. 425 Pards Not just the muscles–everything else, too. Anger, fear, the constant need to prove that I belonged in a world that was always testing how much pain I could take before I broke. I
Chapter 277 ALEXANDER I stepped into the office just as Cole was ending a call. The door closed softly behind me, but he still sensed my presence immediately–he always did. He sat at the small conference table near the window, his shoulders slightly hunched, his tablet balanced in one hand
Chapter 276 Chapter 276 ALEXANDER *25 Floints. Faye’s answer hit me like a slow, steady weight. Yes. Just a single word–simple, unadorned–but the meaning behind it was anything but simple. I stood there for a moment, still holding her hand, trying to process what she had just admitted. My mind
