MAYA

I found Olivia in the settlement organizing supply runs for the coming battle.

"I need your help with something" I said.

She looked up from her lists. Read my expression. Set down her pen.

"What kind of something?"

"The kind that involves digging through palace archives and possibly uncovering treason that goes back twenty years."

Her eyebrows rose. "I am listenin

    GABRIELThe final pieces fell into place three hours before the assault.I stood in my private tent reviewing agreements drafted in secret. Two rogue Alpha packs. Crane and Dorian. Both ambitious. Both hungry for territory. Both willing to betray Damien if the price was right.And the price I offered was very right indeed."You are certain they will hold positions until the signal?" I asked my lieutenant. A man who had served me for five years. Loyal. Competent. Discreet."Certain. Crane's forces are positioned on the western flank. Dorian holds the eastern reserve. When you give the word they turn on Damien's command unit.""Thirty seconds to kill my brother and claim his army.""Yes sir."I studied the battle formations Damien had approved. He thought he was leading a unified force. He had no idea that a third of hi

    MAYAThe messenger arrived during the war council.Young. Terrified. Wearing neutral colors that marked him as a courier under white flag protection. He stumbled into the room. Fell to his knees. Held up a sealed letter with shaking hands."For the Queen. From Alpha Damien. I was told to deliver it personally or die."Every head in the room turned to me. Asher's silver eyes found mine across the table. Through the bond I felt his concern. His readiness to intercept the message. To protect me from whatever poison Damien had written.I stood. Walked around the table. Took the letter from the messenger's trembling hands."You delivered it. You may go."He scrambled to his feet. Fled.I broke the seal. Unfolded the parchment. Read.The words were simple. Direct. No flowery language. No manipulation. J

    MAYAI found Olivia in the settlement organizing supply runs for the coming battle."I need your help with something" I said.She looked up from her lists. Read my expression. Set down her pen."What kind of something?""The kind that involves digging through palace archives and possibly uncovering treason that goes back twenty years."Her eyebrows rose. "I am listening."We walked to the palace library. The restricted section. The same place where I had found fragments of my own family's erased history.If Kael had destroyed evidence about my bloodline he might have done the same to Asher's mother.The royal family records were kept in locked cabinets. I used my authority as Queen to access them. The librarian looked nervous but did not question me.Olivia and I spread docume

    ASHERWe sat on the balcony under a moonless sky. The kingdom below was dark. Quiet. The calm that came before storms.Maya leaned against the railing. Hair loose. Face turned toward the distant mountains where Damien's army waited. She was thinking. Always thinking. Planning scenarios I could feel through the bond even when she did not speak them aloud."Tell me about your mother" she said suddenly.The question caught me off guard. In all our late night conversations we had avoided that particular wound. Circled around it like sailors avoiding rocks."Why?""Because you know everything about mine. About how she died. About what I lost. But you never talk about yours. I want to know."I was quiet. Weighing how much truth to offer. How much of the story I had been told versus the doubts that had been growing."I was t

    MAYAWe fell into a rhythm.Not intentionally. Not through discussion or agreement. It just happened. Like two people orbiting the same sun finally finding a stable pattern.Mornings were for strategy. Asher and I in the war room before anyone else arrived. Maps spread. Intelligence reviewed. Plans adjusted. We worked side by side. Our tactical assessments complementing each other. His military training. My knowledge of Damien's patterns. Two minds that functioned better together than apart.Afternoons belonged to training. Rhea put me through brutal sessions while Asher ran drills with the Lycan forces. Sometimes he watched from the edge of the grounds. I felt his eyes tracking my movements. Felt his pride through the bond when I executed techniques perfectly.Evenings we ate together. Not in the formal dining hall. In his study. Simple meals brought by servants who stopped aski

    MAYAI showed up at the palace with a single bag at midday.No announcement. No discussion. I just walked through the gates carrying everything I owned and headed straight for the royal wing.Guards nodded as I passed. Servants stepped aside. No one questioned the Queen walking through corridors like she owned them.Because I did. Whether they liked it or not.I stopped at the room next to Asher's chambers. Not the separate wing I had occupied before. Not the distant quarters where I could pretend the marriage was still just political.The room that shared a wall with his. Where I would hear him move. Where the bond would not have to stretch across the palace to reach him.The door was unlocked. I pushed it open.Simple. Clean. A bed. A desk. A window overlooking the training grounds. Everything I needed and nothing I

    GABRIELInformation was the most valuable weapon in existence.Not armies. Not claws. Not bloodlines or ancient powers or thrones made of bone and legacy. Information. The right piece at the right time placed in the right hands could topple empires faster than any sword.And I had just received a v

    ASHERI told myself I was checking on an asset.That was the excuse I constructed as I walked through the corridors toward Maya's wing at a time when no one would see me. Late. Past midnight. When the hallways were empty and the torches burned low and the only witnesses were shadows.She had been r

    MAYAThe wolfsbane was eating me alive from the inside.Every step back to the kingdom was a war between my body and my will. The poison spread through my bloodstream like liquid fire. It burned along my veins and settled into my muscles and turned every movement into agony.My wolf fought it. I co
