Diva’s POV

A chilling silence spread like poison through the battlefield.

Smoke thickened the air, mixing with the copper tang of blood.

The Second Princess stood above us, silhouetted by the raging fire behind her.

Her once-pristine dress was torn, her skin marked with bruises and scratches—but her eyes…

Cold. Calculating. Unshaken.

She hadn’t barely survived this war.

She had orchestrated it.

And behind her, an army of rogue wolves waited, their eyes glowing like embers in the darkness.

Ronan coughed, blood slipping between his teeth, but his smirk never faded.

“You thought you had me, didn’t you?” His voice was hoarse, laced with amusement. “I never fight a battle I don’t plan to win.”

Derek’s fingers tightened around Ronan’s throat, his breath ragged. “You think she’s your ally?” His voice was pure steel, dangerously low. “She’s using you just as much as you’re using her.”

The princess let out a soft, amused laugh.

“That may be true.” She stepped forward, her gaze sliding to me.

Desperate.Then—Pain.A sharp, searing bolt that dragged me back into my body.I gasped, my eyes snapping open.Light.Not the soft glow of the moon, nor the warm flicker of torches.This light was harsh, artificial, casting long, twisting shadows on damp stone walls.A dungeon.The scent of damp stone and rusted iron filled my nose.Somewhere nearby, chains rattled.I wasn’t alone.A slow, deliberate clap echoed through the chamber.I turned my head—every muscle screamed in protest.She stood before me.The Second Princess.Her silk gown was pristine, a cruel contrast to the filth surrounding her.Her red lips curled into a smug, satisfied smile.“Finally awake,” she mused. “I was beginning to think you might sleep forever.”Her voice was smooth, teasing—but her eyes gleamed with something dark.I forced myself up, my wrists aching.

The echo of Alec’s voice clawed at my mind, burrowing in, poisoning everything I thought was true. I wanted to scream. To tear through the lie and find the truth buried beneath it. But all I could do was look at Derek. His golden eyes were locked onto mine, unyielding, fierce. But beneath that intensity, I saw it— Fear. Not fear of me. Fear of losing me. The night stretched between us, too quiet, too still, like the world was holding its breath, waiting for one of us to break. Derek took a step forward. My pulse thundered. “You don’t believe him,” he said, voice low, rough. “Tell me you don’t believe him, Diva.” I opened my mouth. No words came out. Because I didn’t know what I believed anymore. His hands curled into fists, his whole body rigid. “Say something.” “I—I just need to think,” I whispered. His jaw tensed. “Think? About what?” “You kno

The only way to break it is to kill him.”A shiver raced down my spine.No other way.I wanted to fight it. To believe there was another path. But deep down, in the part of me that had been screaming for answers since the day this nightmare began…I already knew he was right.The ruins around us pulsed, ancient magic crackling in the air. I glanced at the altar—the place where my fate had been stolen from me.Alec’s voice was quiet. “This is where it started.” He met my gaze. “And this is where it has to end.”I exhaled sharply. “Where is he?”Ale

    Diva's heart thudded in her ears as she sprinted through the broken gate of the devastated courtyard. Dawn light fought through the dark clouds to cast a deserted battlefield strewn in chaos. Wolves—her loyal pack—poured rapidly around her, their eyes blazing with determination, but in their trail, a wire of tension crackled like lightning. Every step echoed with the urgency of a last stand. Abruptly, without precursor, a low, rasping bellow shredded the air. From ruin and wreckage, the foe appeared—faces twisted by shadow and terror. In this instant, Diva seized her sword in white-knuckled resolve. She rushed forward like a flood, fluid and untamed in action. Her cry, tempered from sheer will, rang out, "For the light and for our future!" The voice itself was a vow that the very darkness looming could not consume. Derek, bloody and marred but with the flame of a true Alpha still burning fierce inside him, stood beside her. His battle-worn eyes blazed like a guardian's whenever they c

    The eyes of Diva flew wide as war disappeared into heavy silence. She shuddered in released energy everywhere she looked out over Chapter 83's field of war. The walls of the fortress reverberated with the din of old wars, and broken stone at every splintered pillar reverberated with the history of pain and suffering. But here in the heavy stillness, another noise erupted—a thudding, pounding boom out of the depths of darkness. Her own heart boomed like a mad drum as she moved ahead, her bare feet squelching through rain-sodden passage. Memory of betrayal surrounded her, of hope betrayed that still smoldered beneath. For every step there was the wordless cry of rage and fierce hope that had driven her this far.His resolute and confident eyes now sparkled with uncertainty. She could feel the unspoken anguish from his eyes—a mix of frustration and helplessness—as if their mutual burden of fate had finally begun to break him from the pretence.

    Diva closed her eyes and breathed. The process was agonizing—a flood of memories, loss, grief, images, and love threatened to overwhelm her. She wept, the anguish running through her like an arrow. With each tear she wept, something else retreated into hiding. Finally, her heart and spirit opened to show a seething, raw energy that ran through her, full to brimming from the depths within. As she opened her eyes, they glowed with focus and determination. "I am ready to fight for our future," she murmured. As if on cue, the war horns of the enemy rang in the distance. The pack was getting ready to make one final push. Time was short. Diva stepped into the room, moving with slow determination. Derek stood waiting, his gaze sweeping hers with a silent vow and a fear. For a moment, as the initial light of morning sliced through darkness, their union stood whole and unbroken amidst all the earlier trials. "Both of us," Derek whispered, voice soft and obstinate. "Together," she repeated once

    Diva's heels pounded the wet road as she rushed down the winding corridors of the citadel. The bewildering events of last night still echoed with every inhalation. She was driven by bitter betrayal and fear of an uncertain tomorrow. Chapter 81's cryptic warning haunted her—the ominous warning that success earned with blood and toil was vulnerable and shadows clung only at an arm's distance. Behind her, the ferocity of battle receded into the distant, persistent hum—a reminder that there were still threats out there, waiting just beyond reach. Her heart racing in her chest, she gripped her sword tightly, every step the result of raw desperation. The pack had regrouped after the last attack, but suspicion and wariness seethed beneath their hides. Every wolf's eye showed the tension, the underlying fear of the unseen threat. Diva's mind remembered Derek's wretched, desperate face as he had promised to live. His heart-rending voice which had once given them a future now was besmirched

They both felt that moment of wordless comprehension that every second now counted.The stranger went on, "Three days from now, judgment will be upon you. Until then, you need to prepare and gather your spread light. Only thus can you try to overcome the darkness that will cover you.".Diva's brain went haywire. Three days. The countdown has begun. Each second was a precious, clockwork moment that could rescue her or nothing. Her heart thumped with adrenaline and utter terror. "And what is your price?" she snarled, voice steady over the tempest raging within her.The stranger's eyes clenched and he gave no swift reply. He extended his hand—a gesture in silence full of potential and threat. The air was charged with tension.Diva hesitated, hand hanging between the palmar calluses of destiny and trembling skin. She knew that to take it would reverse everything

Every step a battle cry, every breath a challenge of the shadows that would consume them.Diva's gaze scanned the horizon, where morning's earliest light and smoke from burning fires were combined. The enemy was advancing again. From that chaos, the Void awoke from slumber—its strength always on standby, devouring at her whim. She gripped her sword firmly, with brute strength flowing through her, a skill she'd had pounded into her veins and given.By her side, Derek strode with desperate circumspection, his gold eyes blazed hot though welts on his battered frame testified to a struggle of another sort.

    Diva paused in the doorway of an enormous room. The ground was strewn with shards of broken mirror, each with partial reflections of the past—a past of love, loss, and endless struggle. In the center of the room, balanced atop a pedestal, sat a glowing fragment of mirror. Its beam was peaceful, nearing in upon her.Varin invited them in. "That is the Fragment of Light," he said to them. "It holds in it the promise of rebirth, but at a price. To claim it, you have to let go of that which binds you to your sorrow."Diva's stomach pulled in. Every memory, every sob, every whispered promise was hers. To let it go…was like erasing her very being.She looked at Derek. His eyes silently pleaded with her—a mix of love and sadness that nearly shattered her determination.She closed her eyes for a moment, drawing a jagged breath. When she opened them again, they burned with a fierce resolve. "I choose our future," she whispered. "Not the pain of the past."A brilliant light poured out of the sh

    Diva's heart thrummed as she sprinted down the stronghold stone corridor. Every step echoed like a rebellious drumbeat. Wind sliced across her cheek, mixed with the foam and purpose. Before her lay the dark threat beating like a living shadow; behind her lay the pack's warriors in a wall of growls and biding talons.Derek charged at her side, his golden eyes afire with a fierce determination that belied his battered body. His eyes, usually steady and reassuring, now blazed with urgency. During the fleeting interludes between battles, their eyes spoke all that needed saying—a silent vow to hold on, to fight on, no matter the cost.The enemy was no longer dark threat. Mutters had evolved to bellowing. The Void—the hoary, amorphous monster described in halcyon recollection of old myth—came into being. Its presence squeezed against the ramparts of the fortress like a hug of vengeful haze, distorting reality in fiendish, chaotic ways.A slam from the outside wall jarred the fortress brutal

    Diva's heart pounded against her ribcage as she sprinted down the fortress corridor, blinded by the black-outs. Every step a frantic trot through the silence of the aftermath. The devastation of the previous day's battle—scorched dirt and acrid shreds of broken vows—remained etched on the walls. Every burst of torchlight made her jump, every figure vanishing into the shadows reminded her of decisions now weighing on her conscience.She gripped her side where the bruise pulsed with pain, but not pain that hindered her—it was betrayal, the cold sting of doubt in her veins. Her mind whirled back to Caelan's words moments before, a poisonous truth that questioned her who she was. Even as the pack bayed her name in triumph, she felt a void gnawing in her chest, as if something was ripped away from her.Derek's dark form emerged from the corridor down the hall. His gait was uneven; each step a tell-tale for a man fighting the battle against fatigue and hidden grief. When his gaze met hers,
