When the Last Candle Sang to the Ocean Wind by Aurelion Kyre Solvane 18 Summary Christian and the others are shocked when Finn reveals that the rope at the cliff snapped and Blair has disappeared, leaving only her jacket behind. The group is stunned and filled with disbelief, especially Lysander, who feels guilty as he had been preoccupied with Carrie's condition since returning from the hospital. Blair had been largely ignored by the pack, making her absence even more poignant.
Carrie is visibly shaken by the news, but the others-Lysander, Orion, and Zayden-are too stunned to offer her support. As night falls, Christian stands at the cliff's edge, staring down at the torn rope and bloodstained rocks below. Despite warnings from Finn about the dangerous conditions, Christian insists on getting as close as possible, desperate for any sign of Blair. The rescue team arrives, and the search begins under harsh floodlights, but no trace of Blair is found.
Christian's frustration and anger boil over, leading him to physically confront Lysander, blaming him for tying Blair to the cliff. Lysander accepts the blame silently, while the rest try to calm Christian down. As the night turns to dawn, the search team reports no sign of Blair, with the tides having washed away any evidence. Christian, clutching Blair's jacket, remains determined to find her and insists on scaling down the cliff himself despite the danger.
As he descends, memories of Blair haunt him, and he wonders if things might have been different if he hadn't taken Carrie away that day. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Christian's Point of View "The rope broke." Those three words hit us out of nowhere, like a sudden explosion in the quiet room. Everyone froze instantly, caught in a moment of stunned silence. I finally found my voice, though it was tight and strained. "What rope are you talking about?" "The one at the cliff," Finn said, his voice shaking.
"It snapped-and Blair's gone." The shock crashed over us like a tidal wave, leaving our faces blank, disbelief written across each one. Without thinking, Lysander lunged forward, grabbing Finn by the collar, his voice trembling with desperation. "What the hell did you just say?" His eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging on his arms, as if the weight of those words was physically crushing him. It was clear he couldn't bear to hear the truth. Finn's lips quivered as he whispered, "It's true. When we got there, the rope tied to the cliff had already broken. All we found...
was her jacket." I moved quickly, snatching the jacket from Finn's hands. My knees nearly buckled beneath me. It was Blair's jacket. The air around us seemed to freeze, thick and heavy like stone. "Lysander... you didn't have anyone untie her, did you?" Orion asked, eyes wide with disbelief. Lysander's face drained of color. "I just got back from the hospital yesterday. I..." His voice faltered, leaving the sentence unfinished, but we all understood what he meant.

Since his return, our attention had been consumed by Carrie-worried about her condition, watching her every move with anxious eyes. Blair had always been the invisible one in the pack. No one seemed to notice her anymore, as if she had faded into the background. "Christian, are you okay?" Carrie's voice came softly from behind me. I didn't answer. I didn't even turn around. Instead, I walked straight out the door, ordering Finn to get the car ready to head to the cliff. - Carrie hadn't expected my silence. She stumbled, falling to the floor in surprise.
But Lysander, Orion, and Zayden didn't rush to help her. They were all frozen, stunned and shaken by the news of Blair's disappearance. A maid hurried over to assist Carrie. Her face was full of hurt, as if she wanted to say something, but the three men barely glanced at her before rushing out the door. Night had fallen by then. The ocean wind howled fiercely along the jagged cliffs, carrying a cold bite that seeped into the bones. I stood at the very edge, staring down at the broken rope dangling above the bloodstained rocks below. I tried to move closer, but Finn grabbed my arm firmly.
"Alpha, it's too dangerous. The wind's strong tonight." I ignored his warning and stepped right up to the cliff's edge. Below me, darkness stretched endlessly. The only sound was the relentless crashing of waves against the rocks. "Alpha, I've already contacted the rescue team. All the warriors are out searching," Finn said, urgency in his voice. Soon after, Lysander, Orion, and Zayden arrived. They stood silently beside me, eyes fixed on the cliff's edge. We all knew the grim truth: in conditions like these, survival was nearly impossible. "Find her...
alive or-" I choked on the words, unable to finish the sentence. I couldn't bring myself to curse Blair like that. The rescue team's floodlights illuminated the area, harsh and cold, like death itself was shining down on us. Time dragged on, slow and merciless. Still, no sign of Blair. No news. No hope. Frustration boiled inside me. I stormed over to Lysander, grabbed him by the collar, and slammed my fist into his face. He staggered back, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. "Christian, stop!" Orion and Zayden pulled me aside.
"This isn't what he wanted." My jaw clenched tightly, my voice dripping with bitterness. "Isn't what he wanted? He's the one who tied Blair to that damn cliff! All of this-every single bit-he caused this!" Lysander didn't fight back. He lowered his head, silent, taking every blow without resistance. The search continued through the night until the first light of dawn broke over the horizon. Exhausted, the team finally reported back. "Alpha Lysander, Alpha Christian-we've searched the entire cliffside and the base.
There's no sign of Blair." The violent winds and tides from last night had washed everything away. I clutched Blair's jacket tightly, my eyes hollow and vacant. Only the sound of the wind and waves remained. "Keep searching! No matter what it costs-find her!" I ordered. The team moved out, but their pace was slow, weighed down by exhaustion and despair. Impatient, I tied the rope around my waist, preparing to descend the cliff alone. "Alpha Christian, please-it's too dangerous. You can't-" "I'm going," I interrupted firmly. No argument could stop me.
They lowered me down toward the cliff's edge. The wind whipped my clothes, the rope scraping raw against the jagged rocks, tearing at my skin-but I didn't care. All I could see was Blair's face from that day. The way she looked at me, her eyes full of something I still couldn't understand. And I couldn't stop asking myself- If I hadn't carried Carrie away that day, would everything have turned out differently? Conclusion The weight of loss and guilt hangs heavy over Christian and his pack, each grappling with the sudden void Blair's disappearance has left behind.
The once unnoticed presence of Blair now echoes painfully in their hearts, a stark reminder of how fragile connections can be when overshadowed by other fears and distractions. Christian's turmoil, torn between anger and despair, reveals the depth of his care and the desperate hope that still flickers within him despite the overwhelming darkness. As the relentless ocean wind continues to howl against the cliffs, it mirrors the storm raging inside Christian's soul-a battle between resignation and the fierce determination to find Blair, no matter the cost.

As the search continues, the fragile dynamics within the group are likely to be pushed to their limits. Loyalties will be questioned, and secrets that have long been buried might come to light, forcing everyone to confront the shadows lurking in their past.
