Thorne’s POV (LIMITED THIRD) Thorne waited in his study as the evening deepened. The message he had sent for Elara was simple. *Please see me in my study tonight. It's important* He needed answers about what he had seen during the fight when the attackers nearly killed him. The magic she had unleashed had been devastating. It had ended lives in an instant and now that he was better, he could not ignore it any longer.When she entered the room she closed the door behind her with a quiet click. Thorne studied her face. She looked composed but there was a tightness around her eyes that told him she already knew why he had called her here. He began anyway. “The attack that day. When I got shot. What kind of power was that?” “For you to call me here then you should know the kind of power that was,” she said.He leaned forward in his chair. *She is not going to make this easy is she?* “Elara, how did you know how to use lunar magic?”“I learned” “From who?”“That doesn't concern you”

Nyx POV Lucian found me in the small sitting room near the library. I was curled up in a chair with a book in my lap, trying to lose myself in the pages for a few quiet moments. He leaned against the doorway and watched me for a second before he spoke.“You look peaceful,” he said, his voice warm. “I almost hate to interrupt.”I looked up and closed the book. “Hey Lucian” He stepped inside and closed the door behind him coming close to me, placing a kiss on my head. “Hey storm” He sat beside me while I went to my book. Then I felt his eyes on me. “Lucian, What is it?” I smiled. “Nothing, I just like staring at beautiful things” I giggled. I felt heat slowly creeping up my face. “What do you want, Lucian?” “You are training with me today. I will train you on combat and wolf control.”I set the book aside. “ Oh? Why you?”His hand reached out and brushed a strand of hair from my face. “Because I know what you are capable of when you push yourself. And I want to be the one who help

Lucian’s POVI rode at the front of the column with Nyx in front of me, my horse moving hard beneath us. The wind cut across my face as we pushed toward the estate. Guards flanked both sides. I kept my voice low but sharp as I gave orders. No one was to leave their post. Every gate was to be doubled. Scouts were to ride the roads immediately. I did not raise my voice. I did not need to. The men moved faster when I spoke like this.My chest felt tight. I had promised Nyx justice. I had promised her Edric would not walk free but now he was gone. I had underestimated the reach of the man behind this. The thought sat like iron in my stomach. I had let her down.We reached the estate in under an hour. I dismounted before the horse fully stopped. Thorne was already waiting. Elara stood beside him. Nyx was further back, her face pale but steady. I met her eyes for only a second before I turned to the others.“Council room. Now,” I said.The emergency meeting was already forming when I entere

Nyx povI woke up while it was still dark. I sat at the window and watched the estate grounds. The grass lay still under a heavy grey sky. Today had arrived. I felt the weight of it settle in my chest. It was not grief. I had already moved through that in the northern ruins but it was not triumph either. Triumph felt too small for this. This was heavier and older. A reckoning that had waited nineteen years finally standing at the door.The maids came at first light. They helped me into a deep formal dress, the color of the Luna. It was nothing like the white I wore on the day I was forced to marry. I sat quietly while they worked. My mother’s ring rested on my finger. Mara stirred warm inside my chest.*We finally get justice* Mara said.“We do.” I thought about the vault, the letter, and every step that had brought me from that hidden panel at four years old to this room. It had been a long road and I was ready to finish it. The door opened and Lucian stepped inside. The maids bowed

Edric POV I sat in the center of the great hall with my hands bound in front of me. The stone bench felt cold beneath my legs. Pack elders lined on both sides of the long table, their faces set like carved masks. Guards stood at every exit. The air smelled of old wood and tension. I kept my back straight as I would not give them the satisfaction of seeing me break.I heard the doors open at the far end. Nyx walked in with her snotty Alpha behind her. She wore dark green again, the same shade she had worn the night before. Her chin was lifted and her steps were steady. When her eyes met mine across the room, something hot and ugly twisted in my chest.*I could have killed her when I had the chance.*The thought burned through me. One clean strike years ago and none of this would be happening but instead I had kept her alive. I had used her and sold her. Now she stood here as Luna of Ironfang, looking at me like I was already dead.Kane rose from his seat at the center of the table. Hi

Nyx POV I woke up the next morning with a clear purpose. The dungeon waited below the estate, and the conversation I needed to have belonged only to me. I told Lucian over breakfast that I had to do this alone. He looked at me for a long moment, his eyes searching my face. “I will be outside,” he said quietly.“No,” I replied. I held his gaze without blinking. He studied me again, then nodded once. He stayed upstairs. This moment was mine.I walked down the stone steps alone. The air grew colder with each level. Torches flickered along the walls, casting long shadows that danced across the floor. My footsteps echoed softly. When I reached Edric’s cell, I stopped just outside the bars.He sat on the bench, his back against the stone wall. He looked up at the sound of my approach. Something moved across his face. Not fear. Not yet. It was the same calculating expression he had worn every time I entered a room in his house. He was deciding what I was worth at that moment. An old habit w
