[Carys]

Morana and I kept running through the endless dark corridors. Everywhere we went looked exactly the same. It seemed as if we were just moving in circles.

Panting, both of us stopped at the junction where the corridors met.

“I can’t do this. Go ahead,” I said. “I need to go back. I can’t leave him behind.”

Morana ran her fingers through her hair, looking around at the corridors that branched from the junction.

“Is there an exit at all?” she asked, panting as if she had never heard what I said. “I am sure even the unlocated locations have exits and entrances. If not physical, then magical. We just… need to find them. Although I am not sure what to expect beyond those corridors.”

I peered at her.

“You go ahead and get out of here. Illumi said capturing me was their priority. They won’t come after you until they have caught me. And now that I know they are after me, I will not be caught so easily. If you meet Nox, take him and leave. If the invitation works the way Kian said, Nox

    [Carys]Reality bled into my unconsciousness with the loud pattering of rain mixed with snow against the glass windows. My eyes opened to the intricately designed old fashioned arched window, flanked by inbuilt bookshelves. A black couch was placed between the bookshelves.Beyond the streaks of raindrops trailing down the outer surface of the windows, a storm raged. Ominous monstrous clouds cannibalized one another, hanging low in the dark sky.I could hear waves crashing against the shore. “Kian…” My breaths came out as a fog before my face. Cold.My eyes skimmed to the glistening black ceiling as if it was made of black ice. The walls were the same. The room seemed to have been carved out of pristine black ice and so was most of the furniture.I sprung up on the bed with a groan. I clenched my bandaged chest. The claw wound on my chest had almost healed.The room spun before my eyes slightly. Holding my head, I shut my eyes. The previous night came back to me completely.Kian was

    [Carys]Our daggers clashed once again.With every strike, Ruin’s vampire side grew more dominant, his eyes blazing crimson like the fresh blood of a hunt.The way his enticing gaze fixated on me, like a predator, sent a rush of bloodlust coursing through my veins.Ever since Zara had turned silent, I hadn’t experienced such a primal surge. But it returned with every slash of my dagger. I yearned to drive my blade into his chest, carve out his heart, and then brand him, enslaving him forever at my command. I wanted him to know how it felt to be preyed upon and hunted.Revenge. My every attack landed on him with an intent of hurting him gravely. Pain. I wanted him to feel pain, a great deal of it, and suffer just as his victims had.Possess and capture his soul so that he could never again think of possessing Kian in reality or in the dream. Or defile the sacred memories that were closest to my heart.“The venom in your eyes is intoxicatingly sweet, belladonna.”We jumped apart, catch

    [Kian] “What a waste of time,” grumbled Elijah as he flipped a pen between his fingers. “What are we even waiting for?” “Alpha Elijah, AAC understands that your time is valuable. We will wait for half an hour, and if Carys Elffire still doesn’t show up,” Beta Liam glanced at Alpha King, “Well... then...” “She must have been scared, unable to find proof of her innocence, because there was none. Afraid of the punishment, she fled,” Jax said with a scoff. “Even if she did, that’s okay. There was no need to bring things this far. I had forgiven her long ago. I understand why she might have made such a reckless decision. Honestly, I wish to withdraw all charges against her,” Edith said, glancing at Dominic. She sat beside Joshua. “Alpha Dominic brought the case to the AAC. Taking it back would also be his call,” Levi stated. “You can take the case back if you want, but Carys Elffire is not getting out of AAC’s grip because I will file another case against her,” Christian said, looking

    [Kian]“Jax?” Dominic knit his brows, looking at Jax incredulously. Jax slowly got up from his seat. His face was a mix of anger and fear of being caught.“No, Alpha. He’s lying!” Jax flounced closer to Ash, but was held back by the guards. “Carys Elffire is forcing him to lie! Yes! That’s it! This is preposterous. I mean…” he chuckled as his voice cracked. “Just look at him! Ash isn’t in his right mind. How can you trust what he says? This is ridiculous!”Dominic looked at Ash, who was sitting with his eyes shut, holding his head with his shaking hands.“Who knows where he had been all this time? The condition he is in… God knows what he’s been through,” Jax said in a hurry. “Where did she even find him? How did she find him? Did someone see how she got to Ash? She could have kept him captive on the day of the attack when she sensed that someone was spying on her and… she brings him now after altering his memories. She had been in Xafran, right? She was even in contact with a wizard

    [Carys]The time seemed to have frozen in the hall and so did everyone’s eyes on me.An unsettling ripple broke out between the exchange of shocked glances and silent whispering. Christian gaped at me, initially with disbelief in his eyes that soon turned into something else, as his gaze traveled to Kian. Levi and Jackson exchanged glances before they, too, looked at Kian. Almost everyone now looked at Kian, who sat expressionless, staring into nothingness.I lowered my heavy eyelids. My heart clenched with the pain I had been trying to suppress all these years. Jax chuckled, clapping, “great! Just great! How shameless can you get? You are making up a non-existent child and killing it just to gain sympathy and get the meeting to your side—”There was a gush. Before anyone could comprehend what had happened, Kian had slammed Jax against the wall. Levi and Christian sprinted out of their chairs, pulling Kian off Jax. Jax fell to the floor, wheezing as he held his chest that Kian ha

    [Carys] (Past) The Hunting camps were in their last phase and the last camp was organized in the Autumn pack. Joshua and I were now in charge of organizing the hunts and the first amendment I made in the hunting rules was special night hunts organized for the female campers. Joshua agreed to almost everything I proposed for the camps. Only… “A wild hunt during Halloween near the Banshee barrows? I thought we were gonna take a break that day,” Joshua said. “Father was thinking or throwing a party that night, a feast, you know. I wanted to take your pictures in those awful creepy costumes you wear on every Halloween.” “Don’t forget the fake blood!” I chimed in, cutting my croissant. “Exactly! And I will always choose free chocolates and candies over anything else,” Joshua said in a serious tone. “Free chocolates? Seriously, Joshua? You might as well dress up as a lazy princess. I bet people will throw all their free chocolates at you. That would be something really haunting, don’

    [Carys](Past)“The judges will monitor us through the hidden cameras that are installed all around and within the hunting grounds. Or should I call it the hunting waters? Yes, we’ll hunt in a lake today. And we’ll all be divided into teams…” King Elysar cleared his throat and Joshua stopped speaking. He glanced at King Elysar, confused. King smiled once.“Umm. Let us hear from our judges about the games,” Joshua said and stood beside me.King Elysar came forth along with Alpha Maximus and father.“Youth. Twinkling eyes and burning blood. I can smell the thrill in the air.” King Elysar inhaled deeply.‘All I can smell is sun-roasted dead maple leaves,’ I mind-linked with Joshua.‘Shut up,’ he hissed in a suppressed mindlink, as if King Elysar might hear our minds. ‘And behave yourself. He is the Alpha King. He has the power to wipe out our pack in one command.’I looked at King Elysar and his dad-jokes that failed one after the other. He was the only one laughing and enjoying his own

    [Kian](Past)I pulled out the flag along with the fish’s teeth from its jaw that I had cracked open.Over twenty dead fishes floated lifelessly around me. I was killing them, dodging their attacks, collecting the flags, but my mind was occupied by Carys’ thoughts.Ever since we entered the Autumn pack, Carys was avoiding me. Initially, I thought she was busy with organizing hunts, but I soon realized that she was purposefully avoiding me.But why? Did I do something wrong? Was she angry, or did I do something to hurt her feelings?And she wasn’t the only one trying to distance me from her. I don’t know if it was a coincidence or not, but strangely, every time she was supposed to guide the group I was in to a hunt, Joshua took over her duties.Could it be that Joshua suspected something might be going on between us? Was she avoiding me because of him?Whatever it was, it was driving me insane.Hunts were a good outlet for my frustration. But today, the more I hunted, the more pissed

    [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
