[Kian]I descended the staircase to find Joshua pacing impatiently across the foyer. He looked at me but didn’t utter a single word. But swiftly dashed past me, racing upstairs towards Carys’ room. My gaze lingered on him as I turned around and walked upstairs, taking measured steps. He grabbed the doorknob and was about to just walk into the room when he stopped, withdrew his hand from the doorknob, and knocked on the door. “Carys…” his voice, a mix of urgency and desperation, echoed in the hallway. When Carys replied to him with her silence, he knocked again and called out to her once again, the desperation in his voice turning into a mix of wavering emotions. But she didn’t answer him. Joshua was the first step in understanding about everything that was going on in Blank Space. He knew this world far better than any of us in the real world. So, before dealing with whatever was happening here, I had to understand what exactly we were dealing with. When and how all of this bega
[Kian] I tensed up, squinting my eyes. “A sacrifice?” I reiterated. “To the fae lord?” Carys knit her brows. “W-what kind of sacrifice? Why me? And… my mother… why… how… I don’t…” “I am sure you remember why uncle Logan didn’t allow your mother to come close to you when he wasn’t around. Everything she did to you and your body, the abuse and pain you went through in your childhood, was how your mother prepared your body and soul to act like a bond receptor.” Joshua reminded Carys. Her heartbeats shot up; her chest heaved faster at his words as she curled her fingers over her dress on her knees. An unsettling fear took over her. I knew she was reliving those triggering memories from her childhood in her head. “I know it’s hard to believe, Carys. All these people think they are saving the world by doing what they are doing right now. Your mother was no different. Actually, she was colder than all of them combined. But none of them realize they are under some kind of sick control. M
[Kian]“It’s not true… it can’t be…” Carys mumbled. “You are lying again!” she yelled.In a swift lunge, she grabbed Joshua by his collar and slammed him into the wall. Her fingers turned into claws. I thought she was about to tear his throat out, but her dagger-like nails stopped inches away from his skin.“If Zara’s gone, then how can I use her powers?” Carys’ eyes glowed, but they weren’t blue like Zara. They glowed in a color that was difficult to decipher. A color so otherworldly it was difficult to look at it for too long. “You are still a werewolf, Carys, and these are your powers. Our wolf spirits enhance our powers, help us shift into our wolf forms. They don’t give us these powers, we are born with them. But you haven’t been able to shift into your wolf form, have you?” Joshua said in a calm, consoling tone, holding Carys’ glare.Carys let go of him and stepped back. “No. No, it can’t be! I hear voices in my head! Zara is still here! I know! Zara! Zara! Respond to me! Fuc
[Kian]“Calista killed Carys’ father?”“Yes. My father did everything to hide this truth. And I did everything to hide all this from Carys. I just couldn’t tell this to her. I kept Carys out of all this mess. But it’s true, Calista killed uncle Logan and by the time their battle ended, your father fatally injured Calista and was gravely injured himself. And this time, when Alpha King intervened, my father agreed to a ceasefire. After that, you were called for the peacemaking and negotiation as the newly appointed Alpha of the Winter pack. So, you already know what happened after the war.”I nodded curtly, allowing his words to sink and make sense in my head.‘To me, it looks like some sort of planned murder. We know he went into a coma because of the war, but we don’t really know what actually happened to him in the Autumn pack—’Jackson’s words echoed in my head. The realization that had lit up in my head was still not making sense, but I knew it might lead me somewhere away from wha
[Kian]I skimmed my eyes from Calista to Carys.The aura around her felt somewhat similar to how I felt when I was in the Neutral Zone. Her ambiance was just as draining as Alpha King’s land.Alpha King said he had an old book written in Faemorish that had passed down from one Alpha King to the other and they had maintained some kind of ancient enchantment in the Neutral Zone that makes him the most powerful on his land while weakening all other alphas.Could it be that—“My daughter is not a sleeping beauty and your stare is not a kiss that will wake her up. She is just resting until her mom wakes her up. While I am still waiting for your answer, Kian.”“What did you do to her?” I asked in a calm tone.“Just a normal sleep spell. No side-effects,” Calista said, glancing at Carys before she looked at me again.“The thing you showed me right now in the fire sphere. It’s not difficult to create those illusions for a dragon,” I looked into the Nulzar’s eyes that glowed like embers.“The
[Kian]I stared at Calista with wide eyes for a few seconds, unable to move, unable to believe what I had just heard. My body burst into a wave of cold prickling sweats.“Kian. Son… you aren’t breathing. Breathe.”Calista’s voice echoed in my hollowness, drowning away all the other sensations and noises of my visceral body. It took my mind more concentration and energy to understand what she was trying to tell me.I know she said something else, but what I heard was—‘You’ll breathe for him. Your every breath will soon be his.’Frowning, I glared at Calista. Her face turned into a mere blur of black line. Meanwhile, her eyes and lips were bright red, like fresh blood.I blinked and shook my head, but her head moved like some creepy doll. Her smile grew louder and louder, as if it would consume me whole.The convulsions swarming within me pushed me to my feet. Gulping hard, I panted and stepped away from her. My lungs were suddenly out of air, as if I had just finished an endless race.
[Joshua]That stupid! What the hell was he even doing? What a pathetic coward!How could he just give up like that?He had been the key to summon the fae lord all this time. No, he will turn into the fae lord.I looked at Carys. How would she react when she sees her mother alive and her mate’s body possessed by some other entity?A sick foreboding settled in my stomach.Maybe I could still protect her. Still keep all of this a secret from her. Yeah. I just needed to find a place where I could escape from the twin flames’ shit or maybe cage her in a place far away from this reality. A reality I knew would devastate her more than being shackled and imprisoned.At least she would be safe there. Safe from her own mother and her own mate. She might hate me for doing this to her again. She might not even listen to a word I say, but if that was the price I had to pay to keep her safe, I would.But was there a place like that in this world? Could I create a place like that?Kian could accept
[Kian]Every word of the book that skimmed past my eyes and echoed in my head was like a ravenous bite at Zarek’s soul. There was no chomping sound or crushing of bones between teeth, but what I felt was exactly how it would feel to be devoured alive.The nexus was the maw and with every next sentence; it felt like I was sawing my own lycan’s soul and feeding its hunger to come into existence.Zarek’s agonized howls reverberated through my skull as the nexus’s power surged uncontrollably within me. He begged me to stop, and I struggled to control the catastrophic power of the nexus by mixing up the sentences, skipping a few to interfere with the manifestation.But my eyes were acting on their own. They glued themselves to the words and made sure I read all the parts I had missed. Even when I had reached the middle of the book, it took me all my strength to stop reading.The addiction with words was a hundred times worse than my addiction to drugs.I knew every big shot of the Blank Sp

[Carys]“At the conclusion of this meeting, this is my final verdict in compliance with the vote of other alphas — the Autumn pack will not be dissolved. As proposed by the Gamma Mic of Autumn pack, the Autumn pack will be run under emergency conditions with the gamma assuming the beta’s position and upholding the pack. The rank of the alpha of the Autumn pack will remain empty until Alpha Joshua’s child is born. AAC will assist the Autumn pack at every stage of recovery.” I didn’t attend the meeting, but turns out Verity had other ways to have a peek into everything that happened in the conference hall. “Edith Percy Nightfall’s punishment will be postponed until and after the heir of the Autumn pack reaches the age of five. She will be convicted like everyone else who was responsible for the Blank Space incident. Until then, she’ll remain under AAC’s surveillance.” I let out a sigh. “As per Alpha Dominic’s request, the Spring pack will monitor and take care of Edith Percy Nightfal
[Carys]Hoot!Snow White perched herself on Kian’s chest.“Kian’s soul has sustained severe injuries, Carys,” Moratia said. “It will take years for him to recover. The Bond that remains in his soul will help in his recovery. Keep Snow White close to him. She’ll help feed him the spiritual energy he needs through this mist. We are taking Mizkeal’s soul with us.”She looked at Death. Death turned his face towards Moratia and gave a slight nod.I lifted my gaze and looked at Moratia. The Ravens and crows that ripped Mizkeal’s soul away from Kian had long disappeared into the dark portal with his soul. The portal revolved behind Death’s divine yet haunting figure. His face was covered with a skull mask.He turned towards the portal and stretched out his hand towards Moratia. She glanced at me and smiled.“Thank you for everything, Carys,” she said before she turned around and looked into his eyes before placing her hand in his. They walked into the dark portal. Once their figures were e
[Carys]Moratia slowly looked around to see Alpha King and Liam standing near the borders with their army. After all the destruction Mizkeal caused, it was only logical for him to take things in his hand.Levi stood beside them, staring at us. I could tell by the look on his face that he tried his best to hold Alpha King back, but couldn’t. The same look was on Verity’s face.Verity tried to run towards us when Alpha King ordered one of his soldiers to take her away from the battlefield.Nox stood with the other members of the SW, looking frantically around the battlefield. He was clearly looking for Morana.Morana and Christian had fallen into the mist together, but I hadn’t seen them after that. I could only hope that they were ok.Dominic and Ash walked through the crowd of soldiers to the front-lines, taking in the situation.Of course, all of them felt the horror of Mizkeal’s wrath.“Brother!” My eyelids fluttered towards Aamna as she tried to cross the borders and come to our si
[Carys]I could feel everything Moratia felt.All the centuries of life, love and death flashed in her soul.Her soul was elated to see Mizkeal again, and the way he recognized her again filled her with hope, but it didn’t take long to shatter. Somewhere in him, she yearned to find the man she fell in love with. The prince who taught her how to live.But neither was Mizkeal the same, nor was his love for her. The pure love that a fae price once had for her had turned into a madness of a fae lord. He loved her, yes. But in a constant fear of losing her and that kind of love leads to desperation. And that desperation had blinded Mizkeal.I could actually understand the reason behind his desperation because I was desperate, too. I was desperate to save Kian, bring him back, and I was ready to do anything that could make that possible.Marrying him or not marrying him would depend on Moratia. And I knew whatever she chose would affect me significantly, so I had to brace myself for whateve
[Mizkeal]I didn’t care what happened inside me. I used every ounce of my soul for this last attack.The world could end at its own accord, but…I shifted my glare at Carys.To end her was my right.Peering at me, she got to her feet. Holding my gaze, she stood calmly amidst the exploding ground around her. She licked her lips before taking a deep breath.She smiled gently and shut her eyes, allowing the tears welled in her eyes to trail down her beautiful face.I landed on the ground. Dust and debris of the ground blasted all around us as I strutted towards her.I grabbed her wrist and yanked her closer, barely holding back my rage.The chimes of her crown jingled louder than the exploding earth, sending goosebumps all over my body.“Open your eyes…” I commanded in a slightly shivering tone.I grabbed her upper arms tighter.“Open your eyes!” I snarled at her.She shook her head, her lips trembling as she took in a shuddering breath through her tears.“Carys!”“You know my name, my p
[Mizkeal]Christian held back his groan, gritting his teeth as he glared at me with bloodshot eyes.“Why is everyone so stubborn here?” I sighed. “Well, pain is a choice, and you chose not to show it. I respect that.”“Shove that respect up your ancient ass and get out of my best friend’s body,” he growled, glaring right into my eyes.I chuckled wryly. “You have a strange sense of humor. How does it feel to be in that head of yours, to have a tongue sharper than your claws? There is no real damage you can do to me.”Christian laughed obnoxiously. “That’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard.”“Oh! Have you ever heard yourself?” I taunted back.Morana let out a titter with a smirk spread across her lips.I shifted my gaze to Morana, whose calculative eyes analyzed me.She was the one important to me, but I was still not sure if I could absorb my heart and Bond without damaging them both in the process.I couldn’t risk absorbing Bond while she had my heart because then… it could damage
[Mizkeal]As I soared towards the sky, a wave of raging adrenaline pumped through my veins, pounding in my ears.Carys Elffire was playing a dangerous game.She split the Bond in two parts! How the hell did she split it apart?But what I failed to understand was how she got a hold on Bond so quickly. A day ago, she couldn’t even keep its power in control and now she had split it in two?But what I wanted to know was how far she had decoded Bond and its abilities.Bond was far more powerful than before. New elements were added into Bond and I hadn’t had enough time to decipher all of them, either. So, it was important for me to know how much she had deciphered it or altered it.With a swift blow of my mana, I created a squall that tore the mist apart for a few seconds. It gave me enough time to escape.The mist swirled around me, playing with my head, bringing out the memories that were impossible for me to resist or ignore. Despite my efforts, echoes of Moratia’s voice haunted me, blu
[Carys]Parting from Mizkeal, I held his hands in mine.His calculative silver eyes narrowed on our hands before he looked into my eyes, as though he could see my soul.“I know what you are thinking. But I am not here for you,” I said, holding his gaze. “I’m here for Kian because I cannot lose him.”He smirked faintly, his eyes calling me out for being delusional.“If Kian lives on in you, as you… then I agree to that fate,” I said, looking into his eyes. “If his soul is merged in yours, then I’ll love his torn soul through you. If you go beyond that border, Alpha King will do everything in his power to stop you. He will kill my Kian and… I can’t let that happen. So, I’ve stopped them. I lied to them. I told them I can… stop you. But I know I can’t.”Mizkeal narrowed his eyes.“You’ve been madly in love, Mizkeal, with a woman. So, I know you understand my desperation, and this might be the stupidest decision I make for this world, but keeping you safe is the only way I can ensure Kian
