Chapter 592 Chapter 591: Where Joy Finds Its Voice “Mom! Dad p> A voice sounded amidst the noise surrounding the training grounds, his boots kicking up snow as he rushed forward toward his parents. Stacy turned sharply at the sound. For a moment, she didn’t move, for fear of the
Chapter 591 Chapter 590: The Ones Who Were Chosen Orion watched as Sophia approached him. Snow scattered beneath her boots, her breath visible in the cold air, her eyes bright with everything she was feeling. And before he could say a word, she grabbed him by the front of his
Chapter 590 Chapter 589: Lifted Above the Crowd “Look over there,” Ronan said, pointing towards the crowd. Orion followed his line of sight. It took him a second to find her. Sophia. She was near the end of the chaos, swallowed by bodies taller and broader, her smaller frame barely
Chapter 589 Chapter 588: The Unveiling Morning came with a quiet that did nothing to ease the tension. If anything, it made it worse. The compound was awake earlier than usual, though no one had truly slept. The air carried something sharp—anticipation laced with dread—and it clung to every corner,
Chapter 588 Chapter 587: A Moment Before the Storm The snow fell in a steady hush, blanketing the compound in a quiet that felt almost deceptive. Orion and Ronan walked side by side, their boots pressing into the fresh layer beneath them, the faint crunch of each step the only
Chapter 587 Chapter 586: Two Days Orion frowned slightly, his gaze shifting between Ronan and Brynhild. “Ghost?” Orion said. Brynhild nodded. “Jarek told us about a garden. Someone who operates in the black market… he sells the corpse plant. And while it’s not really surprising that he’s anonymous, it’s surprising
Chapter 586 Chapter 585: The Name That Returns Kairen’s body had gone rigid the moment the sounds reached the cell. “Relax,” Orion said without looking at him. Kairen exhaled slowly but didn’t fully unwind. Footsteps. Two sets. And then Caspian appeared, Daniel half a step behind him. They were both
Chapter 585 Chapter 584: Seeds and Shadows The air in the room was thick, a heavy quiet that clung to the walls. Outside, the faint murmur of the pack seemed distant, almost nonexistent. Brynhild, Ronan, and Jarek stood in a loose triangle, each of them trying to digest the knowledge
Chapter 584 Chapter 583: What Grows in the Dark The dungeon was quiet. Orion and Kairen stared at each other, gazes locked. “There’s something else,” Kairen said after a moment, breaking the silence. Orion didn’t move. Kairen shifted slightly, leaning forward, elbows resting against his knees. “The plant,” he continued.
Chapter 583 Chapter 582: The Root That Feeds Death Jarek’s expression shifted the moment Ronan mentioned the corpse plant. His brows drew together, suspicion flickering briefly in his eyes. He frowned slightly. “Though I’ve heard it depends on dosage. Small amounts might not do much. Larger amounts he shook his
Chapter 582 Chapter 581: The Place That Chose Them Jarek was staying with Tarin and Maya, taking on the role of their guardian. His injuries were healing nicely—and fast too. It didn’t hurt to move around, though he was still advised to take it easy so as not to injure
Chapter 581 Chapter 580: Bargains in the Dark Kairen immediately adjusted to a sitting position the moment he felt Orion’s presence. Orion gave the man a look. “You look better than I thought you would,” he told him. The man gave a small smile. “Your people are less vicious than
Chapter 580 Chapter 579: The Truth Behind the Vision “I deserve the apology?” Orion asked Noctis, his brows furrowed. “Now, you haven’t done anything to warrant an apology to me. Why would you think I deserve it p> * I am unable to give you the answers you seek p>
Chapter 579 Chapter 578: The Voice Beneath Silence Within minutes, the impromptu meeting was over. “I’ll go check on Jarek,” Ronan suggested. “Let’s hope he has something for us regarding the plant p> Sophia remained where she was. Her fingers rested lightly against the edge of the table, her gaze
Chapter 578 Chapter 577: The Name That Follows Silence settled over the shrine like a second skin. No one moved. The weight of what had just been said lingered in the air. Sophia stood very still, her gaze lowered to the parchments spread across the table, though she wasn’t truly
Chapter 577 Chapter 576: The Scent Beneath the Blood Orion looked at the man and flipped him the bird without a word The man laughed. It was a warm sound, genuine, unbothered by the greeting entirely. Ronan turned. “Lysander.” He frowned slightly. “What are you doing here p> Lysander exhaled
Chapter 576 Chapter 575: The Questions That Refuse to Answer For a moment, no one said anything. Annabeth was still chuckling rather maniacally. Eldric cleared his throat. It was a small sound, but it carried.
Chapter 575 Chapter 574: When the Shadow Breathes Again Madam Tyler looked up from the table the moment she saw Orion and the others approach. Her brows lifted in clear surprise. “Well,” she said slowly, straightening slightly. “This is quite unexpected p> Her gaze settled on Orion. “I must say,
Chapter 574 Chapter 573: The Curse Between the Lines The office was warm. Annabeth sat across from the desk, Ronan beside her, both of them facing Orion and Sophia on the other side. Annabeth’s hands rested loosely in her lap. She had composed herself fully since the incident outside. Whatever
Chapter 573 Chapter 572: Misplaced Assumptions There was a brief pause. Ronan turned his head away almost immediately, his shoulders shaking as he muffled a laugh. Orion, on the other hand, stayed still, though there was a very clear shift in his expression. The corner of his mouth lifted just
