Chapter 90: THREADS OF FATE
Chapter 90: Threads of Fate
The True Shadow’s words hit Liana like ice water. Worlds eaten. Universes eaten.
And now these monsters were free. "No," she whispered, then louder, "NO!" Something deep inside her snapped awake.
Not her wolf. Not her guardian skills. Something bigger. Something that had been sleeping since the universe started.
Golden threads appeared in the air around her—thousands of them, millions, stretching in every direction. They weren’t just linking her to the wolves below. They were joining everything. Every tree, every rock, every star in the sky. "The fabric," her mother breathed in wonder.
"You can see the fabric of reality itself." Liana reached out and touched one of the threads. Instantly, she could feel the damage the True Shadows had caused. Reality was torn in a hundred places.
Their world was bleeding into the dark realm, and the dark realm was poisoning everything it touched. But she could fix it. She could reweave the tears. "I can repair this," she said, her voice filled with new confidence. "I can send them back."
The largest True Shadow turned its burning eyes on her. "Impossible. We have already taken root. Your world feeds us now." "Then I’ll starve you out." Liana grabbed the nearest thread and started to weave. Where her fingers touched, the golden lines blazed with light. The dimensional crack above them started to shrink.
Pain burst through her body. It felt like every cell was on fire. Blood ran from her nose, her eyes, her ears. But she kept weaving. "Liana, stop!" Kael shouted. "You’re killing yourself!" "If I stop, we all die anyway," she gasped. The True Shadow lashed out at her with a tendril of pure darkness.
Before it could hit, Jace appeared in front of her, his twin blades cutting the blow in half. "You want her?" he snarled. "Come through us first." Rowan stepped up beside his brother, his healing staff shining. "I can keep you going," he told Liana.
"But not for long." Kael took place on her other side, his golden sword creating a dome of light around them. "Do what you have to do. We’ll hold them off." The mate tie between all four of them suddenly blazed to life. Through it, Liana could feel their power flowing into her. Their love.
