MAYA

Rhea found me on the training grounds before dawn.

I was running through drills. The same combinations she had beaten into me over months of brutal sessions. My body moved on instinct now. Muscle memory carved from repetition and pain and the refusal to stay down.

She watched from the edge of the field. Silent. Arms crossed. That unreadable expression she wore when she was evaluating something.

    MAYARhea found me on the training grounds before dawn.I was running through drills. The same combinations she had beaten into me over months of brutal sessions. My body moved on instinct now. Muscle memory carved from repetition and pain and the refusal to stay down.She watched from the edge of the field. Silent. Arms crossed. That unreadable expression she wore when she was evaluating something.I finished the sequence. Turned to face her."Your form is sloppy" she said."Good morning to you too.""Morning has nothing to do with it. Your left guard drops when you pivot. That will get you killed."I reset. Went through the combination again. Focused on keeping my guard up.Better. Not perfect. But better.Rhea walked onto the field. Stopped three feet away.

    MAYAThe balcony had become our neutral ground.Not the war room where politics and strategy required masks we were both tired of wearing. Not my house in the settlement where the distance felt like an accusation. Not his chambers where the bed stood as a reminder of intimacy we had not yet reclaimed.The balcony. Where the night air was cold and the stars were distant and we could exist side by side without the weight of everything broken between us.We met there most evenings now. After war councils. After training. After long days spent preparing for a battle that crept closer with every sunrise.We talked. Careful. Measured. Like two people learning a language neither had quite mastered.Tonight I arrived first. Leaned against the stone railing and watched the settlement below. Lights flickered in windows. My people settling in for the ni

    ETHANThe investigation took three sleepless nights.I sat in my private office surrounded by personnel files, duty logs, and communication records spanning the last six months. Every piece of intelligence that leaked to Damien's forces. Every classified document that ended up in Gabriel's hands. Every strategic decision that somehow reached enemy ears before the ink dried.There was a pattern. Subtle. Almost invisible. But it was there.Someone with access to the inner circle was bleeding information systematically. Not random leaks. Calculated disclosures designed to weaken Asher's position while strengthening his enemies.I had narrowed the suspects to three.Lord Harlen's personal aide. A young man who handled correspondence and attended private council sessions. He had opportunity. Access. But his background check was clean. Family loyal

    DAMIENThe war tent smelled like sweat and ambition.I stood at the map table watching two rogue Alphas argue over territory they had not earned yet. Alpha Crane from the Northern Reaches and Alpha Dorian from the Eastern Marshes. Both commanded respectable forces. Both thought their contributions entitled them to more than we agreed upon."You promised us the southern valleys" Crane said. His massive frame leaned over the table. Finger jabbing at the map. "That was the deal. Now you are saying we have to wait until after the Lycan Kingdom falls?""I am saying priorities have shifted" I replied. My voice was calm. Controlled. Though the wolf inside me wanted to rip his throat out for the disrespect. "The southern valleys are strategic. We cannot redistribute them until we secure the kingdom.""Strategic." Dorian laughed. Sharp. Mocking. "Everything is strategic w

    MAYAThe training started at dawn the next day.I stood in the center of the settlement square with fifty Blue Moon survivors arranged in a loose semicircle around me. Men and women who had survived slavery and auctions and the long walk to freedom. People who had never held weapons. Who had built lives around farming and trade and raising children.I was asking them to become soldiers in less than a week."I know most of you are not fighters" I began. My voice carried across the quiet morning. "I know you did not come here expecting war. But war found us anyway. And when Damien's army reaches these walls you have three choices. Run. Hide. Or stand."No one moved. Fifty pairs of eyes watching me with expressions ranging from fear to determination."If you choose to run I will not stop you. You have already survived more than anyone should hav

    MAYAThe war room had never felt this crowded.Every military commander in the kingdom stood around the massive table. Maps spread across the surface showing border positions and defensive structures. Colored markers indicated enemy movements and allied territories.Lycan generals in full armor. Council members in formal dress. Elite guards positioned at every exit. And at the head of the table, Asher. Silver eyes sharp. Every inch the king his people needed him to be.He had summoned me personally. Not through a messenger. He came to the settlement himself and said four words."I need you here."Now I stood beside the table. Not sitting. Not yet invited to claim space in a room that had never welcomed wolves.Lord Harlen noticed me first. His face tightened. "Your Majesty, this is a military council. Surely the Queen's p

    MAYAThe messenger arrived during my morning session with Rhea.I was mid-strike when I heard the commotion at the edge of the training grounds. Raised voices. The scuffle of boots on packed dirt. A sharp commanding bark from one of the Lycan guards stationed at the perimeter.I lowered my fists. R

    DAMIENThe war camp stretched across the valley like a wound carved into the earth.I stood on the ridge overlooking it. Rows of tents. Weapon racks. Training circles where fighters sparred in the mud. Cook fires sending grey columns of smoke into the overcast sky. The sounds of a thousand men prep

    ETHANThe kingdom cracked down the middle in less than twelve hours.I watched it happen the way you watch a fault line split open beneath a city. Slowly at first. A whisper here. A glance there. Then all at once. Violent and irreversible.The Queen has left the palace.Six words. That was all it t

    ASHERThe pain came in waves.Not mine. Hers. Delivered through a bond I could not close and did not deserve. It crashed against the inside of my ribs every thirty seconds with the precision of a tide governed by a moon that wanted me to
