Asher silently shifted his gaze to Seraphina, the weight of centuries of unspoken memories passing between them. His growing attraction to her when they first met again at Lupine Academy finally made sense to him. Then, his eyes moved to Ronan, who was battling the dark smoke that swarmed around him, attacking from all directions in an attempt to reach Seraphina. Since Ronan was by her side, Asher knew his assistance was unnecessary.

“Well, well, what do we have here?” Ryker chuckled, eyeing Asher from head to toe. “The King of Curses? No wonder I’ve always felt this overwhelming hatred towards you, even though I couldn’t understand why.”

“Same,” Asher replied, casually waving his hand to rid it of Percy’s dark blood. “I hated you the moment I saw you, even though you tried to hide your bloodline just like I did. But I don’t fucking buy that we share the same bloodline or that you’re my fucking ancestor, just because Charles was the Alpha King.”

Ryker’s chuckle faded, his eyes turning colder. “Of course not. How could my descendant be born with a curse? I never had offspring to begin with. The curse of rotting prevented me from creating another of my kind. All the kings I placed on the throne were just puppets from the Blackwood bloodline, my worshipers nine hundred years ago. No wonder Charles hid from me that he had a son with such an abnormal power. And now, it’s no surprise that he arranged Seraphina’s marriage to you. If she’d married you, I would never have found her once you had marked her as yours. Charles played a great game and when he failed to prevent Seraphina from falling in love with others, which was his actual duty, he got scared and forced the marriage agreement trying to marry her to you so that he could say thought he would continue as king. Only Charles didn’t realize the losing one…and in the end, the pathetic fool had to sacrifice himself to atone for his sins,” he paused, his gaze dropping to the two pieces of Percy on the ground. “But it’s a surprise, isn’t it? The King of Curses born from a werewolf womb and tangled with me, Ronan’s friend, my enemy. But anything can happen when heaven decides to play dirty.”

He grinned, slowly meeting Asher’s eyes with a dark, predatory gleam. “However, I, Ryker Wraithe, who even defied death, will defy heaven itself this time.” His smile widened, the menace in his words clear. “Everyone standing with Seraphina will die.”

As he spoke, Alpha Jude noticed Percy stirring. “He’s not…he’s…”

Alpha Darious, Spencer, and everyone else instantly tensed, backing away as their eyes widened in disbelief.

With a twisted screech Percy’s torn form instantly reanimated each half rising as separate entities, both burning with the same dark aura.

Asher immediately blocked Percy’s attack with one of his hands. During his struggle with the swirling darkness, Ronan’s eyes snapped to Asher, who was now fighting two Percys. Using his curse energy, Asher distracted one of the Percys and launched a brutal attack on the other, tearing open his head from the torso. However, the moment Percy dropp Percy arose from the fallen one. Now Asher had to fight three Percys.

“Fuck!” Asher gritted his teeth. “So, the more they are killed, the more they regenerate!”

“Then don’t kill them!” Ronan growled, ripping through the dark smoke with a roar. He took a deep breath, watching Ryker send another surge of dark magic toward Seraphina. It was never- ending.

“I’m not in the mood for hugs and smiles, you know,” Asher groaned, meeting Ronan’s eyes for a moment in the midst of his battle.

“Me neither,” Ronan replied, charging at the encroaching darkness rushing toward Seraphina. He tore through it with his powers, moving swiftly toward Ryker, who stood ahead.

To defeat the dark magic, Ronan knew he didn’t need to be near Seraphina. He needed to face the source of it, Ryker.

Ryker’s eyes darkened at Ronan’s direct assault. He braced himself, channeling all his energy to block Ronan’s approach.

“You sure you want to leave her alone when she doesn’t have her powers?” Ryker smirked, glaring down into Ronan’s violet eyes.

“Why are you so worried when you’re the one with all the power?” Ronan smirked back. “Why worry

about someone you believe is powerless and helpless?”

Ryker’s jaw tightened. He attacked Ronan with dark energy, throwing him back and causing the remaining walls of the palace to collapse. But Ronan returned instantly, both locked in an intense battle. Ronan could feel it, Ryker’s powers were stronger than they had been nine hundred years ago. Over the centuries, he had made himself faster, more formidable than ever before.

“This fight will not end like last time, Lycan King,” Ryker smirked, attacking Ronan’s gut

dark magic. But Ronan absorbed the blow, storing his energy in the very spot Ryker had aimed for, before retaliating with equal force. Both of them were thrown back, only to return again and again, colliding with such intensity that the ground beneath them trembled with each impact. Yet, Ryker kept one eye on Seraphina the entire time.

She stood there so boldly, despite his dark magic being capable of dragging her to hell the moment he rid himself of Ronan. Her calmness, the way she watched the chaos unfold, seemed out of place. Her eyes were unfocused, as though her body was present, but her soul was elsewhere. Ryker didn’t miss the fact that she stood alone, under the raised platform, far from the others‘ touch and energy, right beneath the dark sky. Even her sole protector, Aran, didn’t dare approach her. Ronan had also distanced himself, which struck him as odd considering he had been shielding her so desperately.

His blood boiled when he realized, she was performing a ritual under the moon.
