Amara’s POV

Darkness wrapped around us like a second skin as we followed Victor deeper into the unknown. The trees, ancient and gnarled, loomed overhead, their branches stretching like skeletal fingers against the sliver of moonlight breaking through the canopy. Every step we took felt heavier, the silence stretching taut between us. Only the distant howls of Magnus’s hunters reminded us we were being chased.

Victor moved with an eerie calm, his presence both reassuring and unsettling. I wanted to trust him—he had saved us—but something about him felt… off. Kael stayed close beside me, his grip on my wrist tightening every time I stumbled. He had barely spoken since we fled, but I could feel his tension and his sharp focus. He was preparing for the worst.

After what felt like hours, Victor finally slowed, leading us to a cluster of jagged rock formations. Nestled between them was a narrow crevice, barely wide enough for a person to slip through. He turned to us, silver eyes glinting

    Amara’s POV The cave felt smaller now, suffocating under the weight of Victor's revelation. The air was thick with uncertainty, and each breath I took felt heavier than the last. My mind swirled with everything he had said, but no matter how hard I tried to make sense of it, I kept returning to the same impossible conclusion, I was the heir to the Lunar Bloodline. It didn’t feel real. It couldn’t be real. Kael sat beside me, his expression unreadable, though I could sense the storm raging inside him. His grip on my wrist was firm, grounding, as if he thought I might disappear if he let go. But it wasn’t just fear that held him so rigid, it was something else, something dangerous brewing behind his dark eyes. Victor remained near the entrance, his posture relaxed yet alert. He was watching, waiting. He had dropped a bombshell and now expected us to piece it together on our own. Finally, Kael exhaled sharply. "If this is true if Amara is part of the Lunar Bloodline, then Magnus won’

    Amara’s POV The moment the first beast lunged, instinct took over. Kael shoved me behind him, his body tensed like a coiled spring, ready to strike. Victor moved like a shadow, his blade flashing in the dim light as he positioned himself at our flank. I barely had time to process what was happening before the creature’s glowing red eyes locked onto me. My heart hammered against my ribs, fear clawing at my throat. This wasn’t just a mindless beast, it was hunting with purpose. It was hunting me. Kael didn’t hesitate. With a snarl, he shifted mid-leap, his transformation smooth and deadly. His massive black wolf slammed into the creature, sending it skidding backward. The force of their collision shook the ground, snapping branches as they rolled through the undergrowth in a tangle of fur and claws. Victor cursed under his breath. “They’re not supposed to be this fast.” I barely registered his words before another beast burst through the trees. This one was even bigger than the firs

    Amara’s POV The forest was damp and cold. It clung to me like a wet blanket. But it wasn’t just the chill that made me shiver. No, it was the weight of everything that had just happened—the hunt, those terrifying creatures, and the strange power swirling inside me. My hands shook as I pressed them against the rough bark of a tree, trying to catch my breath. Kael stood next to me. His shirt was soaked, sticking to his muscles. I could see tension all over him. His golden eyes danced with emotion—maybe worry, maybe frustration, or both. A little farther ahead, Victor scanned our surroundings like a hawk ready to swoop down on its prey. “They won’t quit hunting us,” Kael said, his voice dry and tired. “They won’t stop until they get what they want.” What they wanted was me. I swallowed hard, my throat feeling tight. “We can’t keep running forever,” I said. Victor turned to me, his silver eyes sharp as a knife. “No, we can’t. But you also can’t fight something you don’t get. When we

    Amara’s POV I broke the surface of the cold river, gasping for air. The icy water felt like it wanted to drag me under. It stung my lungs. Water poured off my face as I blinked through the mist. I was dizzy and disoriented. My arms and legs hurt from crashing into hidden rocks. But I had to push through the pain. Right now, all that mattered was staying alive. Kael was still with me. His arm held me tight, but I could feel him shaking. His golden eyes searched mine with a look that sent chills down my spine. He was relieved but also alert. We weren’t out of danger yet. Victor had made it to the shore. I could see him easily climbing up the rocky bank. He turned his head back and waved for us to hurry up. “Move. Now.” His voice was quiet but full of urgency. Kael led me toward the bank. The water was calmer, but it still tugged at us, like it didn’t want to let us go. My muscles felt heavy and worn out, but I forced myself to push through. Finally, my feet hit solid ground, and a

    Amara’s POV The shadows swirled around us. They were alive and seemed to pulse as they came closer. The air felt thick, almost like smoke. It wrapped around my throat. It was a warning. Whatever was after us wasn’t just a standard monster. It felt worse as if it had a mind of its own and was feeding off that energy thrumming through me. Kael held onto my wrist tightly. He had turned back into a human. His muscles were tense. His golden eyes glowed in the fog. He was a comfort, but the fear still crawled inside me, chilly and unsettling. Victor stood in front of us, ready with his blade. His silver eyes focused intently on the strange figures appearing from the mist. “Stay together,” he warned, his voice low and sharp, like a knife. “They want us alone.” The mist began to move in a wild manner, wrapping around us. It felt like a predator playing with its food. A wave of cold rushed through my body. This was not just the night air. It sank deep inside me, chilling my bones. I ba

    Amara’s POV Fingers curled around the damp stone, nails digging into the cold surface as lungs burned with the struggle to breathe. The night stretched endlessly above, but something about it felt wrong, too heavy, too still. No stars broke through the veil of darkness. Only the moon remained bloated and crimson, casting an eerie glow over the jagged cliffs and the restless trees beyond. Shadows moved between the trunks, unnatural and waiting. No wind stirred the leaves, yet whispers slithered through the silence. Too quiet. Too expectant. As if something unseen lingered just beyond reach, watching. Kael stood beside me, every muscle taut with unspoken tension. Blood streaked his jaw, a crimson contrast against his pale skin, but he didn’t seem to notice. His golden eyes flickered, scanning the tree line where figures stirred. Too many. They had been tracking us since the river, never striking, only herding us toward something we couldn’t yet see. Victor crouched nearby, blade bal

    Amara’s POV I stood in the cold, and it prickled my skin. It reminded me that danger was nearby. Each breath came hard, my exhales creating white puffs in the crisp night air. I felt the adrenaline kick in. It helped me stay alert, even though tiredness threatened to pull me down. I had to keep moving. Kael was right beside me. He moved with purpose, tense like a cat ready to pounce. Up ahead was Victor. He was guiding us through the woods, confident and quick. It felt like he could sense what was lurking in the dark. But with every step we took, the silence around us felt eerie. Something was off. “Victor,” I whispered, stealing a glance at the shadows dancing around the trees, “are they still on our trail?” He took a moment before answering. His silver eyes flickered as they scanned the darkness. “They’ve stopped following us,” he said quietly. “But that doesn’t mean we’re out of danger.” Chills ran through me. Whatever was after us didn’t give up easily. If it paused, it l

    Kael’s POV Darkness felt heavy around us. It was thick with the smell of wet dirt and blood. Every part of me was on high alert. I wanted to move faster. But I stood still, eyes locked on the creature creeping closer. Amara was right next to me. Her breath came quick, but she was steady. She looked exhausted, but there was something strong in her eyes. Even with the fear, I could see a spark. It made my heart tight. Victor stood a little way off. His face was hard to read, but his silver eyes were sharp, taking it all in. I saw his fingers twitch, ready to react if needed. Then I heard it—a low, growling noise that rumbled through the air. This wasn’t just any rogue creature. It was twisted and wrong, changed by whatever dark magic Magnus had let loose. Its red eyes glowed, almost like it was thinking. It snarled at us, its lips pulling back to show teeth. The beast took a slow step forward, its claws tearing through the leaves and dirt. The air felt electric, thick with tension.

    Kael's POVA scream echoed in the room, and it was me yelling, not Amara.The instant her glowing eyes locked onto mine, something deep inside me just broke. It felt like everything that made her *her* had been ripped away, and what was left was just an empty copy controlled by Magnus. I couldn't believe it. I just wouldn't.Amara, I croaked, pushing myself up even with the magic pressing down on me like crazy. I know you're still in there. You gotta fight him.Her lips parted, and for a split second, I swear I saw a hint of her come back. But then her face twisted into this cold, totally different look.She came at me fast.I barely had time to react before she grabbed my throat. She was way quicker than before, and strong too, like she had some kind of weird boost. I slammed into the wall, sending dust and bits of stone flying.Magnus laughed. She doesn't need saving, Kael. She's better.I tried to pull her fingers off, but she wouldn't budge. My inner wolf was going wild, super ang

    Kael’s POVA jolt of pain shot through my chest as Magnus’s blade came at me. I managed to turn just in time, so instead of going straight through my heart, the cold metal just grazed my ribs. My whole body hurt like crazy, but I kept going. I had to.Amara was standing there like a statue, her eyes totally blank. Her body was stiff from the dark magic controlling her. Magnus grinned, stepping back and twisting the bloody knife in his hand.“Not bad, you’re pretty fast,” he said, checking out the cut he’d made. “But you’re bleeding now. And blood makes people weak.”I clenched my teeth, trying to ignore the burning pain in my side. “Think a little blood is going to stop me?”Magnus chuckled and raised an eyebrow. “Not really. But she will.”Before I could even think, Amara moved again. Super-fast. Way too fast. Her arm shot out, her fingers like claws and went for me. I barely dodged, and her nails scratched the side of my neck. She didn’t stop, she spun around and went at me with a w

    Kael was caught off guard. Magnus's knife flashed, aimed right at his heart. But then, Amara moved quicker than anyone expected. She cried out, a sound ripped from her, throwing herself in the path of the blade; an instinct that Magnus clearly hadn't counted on. The knife went into her side, not Kael's chest.No! Kael yelled, grabbing her as she fell. He pressed his hands against the wound, her blood soaking his fingers. Hot.Magnus stumbled, shocked. That wasn't the plan at all.Amara gasped, shaking. It wasn't just because of the stab wound; something else was going on. The mark on her wrist pulsed weirdly, the light flickering between red and bright white. A strange sound came from her, part pain, but also something deeper.Kael held her tight as a weird feeling passed between them, making his skin rigid . A burning heat seared him. He felt his wolf howl, but not from hurt as such, more like knowing something big.Kael... Amara whispered, her eyes meeting his with a focus not seen

    Kael’s heart pounded like a war drum as he locked eyes with Magnus. The knife in the Alpha’s hand gleamed in the dim torchlight, its curved blade dripping with something darker than blood—something unnatural. The rune on Amara’s wrist pulsed, its glow intensifying with each passing second. She stood motionless, her body rigid, her eyes empty. It was as if she wasn’t there at all. “Let her go,” Kael growled, his voice low, dangerous. Magnus merely chuckled. “You still don’t understand, do you?” He dragged the tip of the blade along Amara’s wrist, making her shudder. “She belongs to me now.” A snarl ripped from Kael’s throat as he lunged forward, but before he could reach them, Amara suddenly moved. Not of her own free will—but by Magnus’s command. She stepped between them, raising her hands as if to shield Magnus. Kael’s breath caught. “Amara.” She didn’t respond. Instead, she turned to him with vacant, glassy eyes. A stranger wearing her face. Magnus smirked. “You see, Alp

    Kael’s POVThe second I got outside, the cold night air smacked me in the face, like a warning shot. It smelled like rain mixed with something way worse—blood. A storm was coming, and it wasn't just the weather kind. There was a war brewing, but we were almost out of time. If I didn't hurry, a lot of people would get hurt.I was moving fast through the trees. The wolf inside me was growling, like it wanted to get out and fight. My heart was pounding super hard. The vision of Magnus's last move kept repeating in my mind. He'd made it clear what he wanted, but I figured something else was going on. I couldn't put my finger on it. He didn't just want to be in control; I think he was setting a trap, and I can't figure out how to stop him.The sky flashed with lightning, lighting up the path. My group of fighters was already spread out, and their eyes were lit up with excitement for a fight. You could cut the tension in the air with a knife. I don't understand why everyone wants to fight a

    Kael's POVThe night felt thick, like you could cut it with a knife. I felt the weight of what was coming pressing down. The torches around the yard flickered, throwing weird shadows on the stones. It felt like we were on a battlefield right before the fight started. I knew Magnus wouldn't let things slide after what went down in the throne room, not after I stood up to him.And now Amara was stuck in the middle of it.The sound of boots echoed as warriors moved into position, building a wall between me and whatever evil idea Magnus had cooked up. I was wound up tight, my body ready for the fight. But I didn't want to act without thinking. I couldn't mess this up.Then I heard it—a voice, smooth and slick like a knife.Kael.I turned and saw Magnus standing at the yard entrance, his dark cloak swirling around him.

    Kael's POVThorne didn't even get a chance to grin smugly before I was all over him, slamming into him with every ounce of strength I could find. We both went down hard, and you could hear the thud echo through the stone room. My fists just started flying, like I didn't even have to think about it. It was pure anger, desperation, and something even deeper, something animal taking over.Even with me hitting him so hard, Thorne managed to twist out from under me like a snake. He was back on his feet in a second, grinning like it was all a joke. Kael, he said, rolling his shoulders like he was just brushing off some dust. So predictable, really.I didn't bother wasting my breath talking. I just went for him again, claws out, aiming for his throat. But man, he was quick – too quick. He dodged to the side, and my claws barely scratched him before he hit back, slamming a fist into my ribs.

My heart went wild , but I stayed put, trying to think straight.Pick, Magnus said, sounding calm, like he knew what I’d do. Like I was just a piece in his game.Amara looked right at me, hard and clear. She didn’t beg or cry. But her eyes screamed: Don’t do it.I squeezed my hands, shaking with anger. I wanted to charge, tear Magnus apart, end this mess. But I knew he wasn’t bluffing. If I fought, he’d hurt her in ways I couldn't even imagine.He wanted to break me, to make me break myself.I took a deep breath. Let her go.Magnus smirked.
