MAYA

I woke up three days after the rescue.

The wolfsbane nearly killed me. The healer told me later that my wolf had burned through most of the poison before it reached my heart. Ordinary wolves did not survive six hours of wolfsbane exposure. My bloodline saved me.

The bloodline I still knew nothing about.

I spent the first day in bed drifting in and out of consciousness. Nora brought me water and broth. Rhea checked on me once and told me I was an idiot. Ethan left a report on my nightstand

    MAYAThe dress was simple. White silk that fell to the floor in a single clean line. No embroidery. No jewels. No crown. Just fabric against skin and bare feet on cold stone.I chose it myself. In a kingdom full of people who thought I did not belong I refused to dress like I was trying to convince them otherwise. They would accept me as I was or not at all.Nora helped me with my hair. Loose. Down past my shoulders. The way my mother used to wear hers on important occasions."You look beautiful" Nora whispered as she stepped back.I looked at my reflection. The woman in the mirror did not look like a girl who was sold at an auction. She looked like someone worth standing beside a king.I hoped that was true.The walk to the great hall took three minutes. The longest three minutes of my life. Every step echoed through the

    MAYASleep was not coming. Not tonight.I lay in bed staring at the ceiling. The moonlight cut through the window and painted silver lines across the stone above me. My mind raced in circles that led nowhere and everywhere at the same time.Tomorrow Asher Baxton would put his mark on my neck. His teeth would pierce my skin. His wolf would bind to mine. And everything we had both been hiding would be laid bare.Everything.I pressed my palm against my chest. My heart was beating too fast. It had been beating too fast for three days. Ever since he touched my chin in the garden and looked at me like I was the answer to a question he had been asking his entire life.It will mean everything.His words played on repeat in my head. A loop I could not break. Did he mean what I thought he meant? Or was I reading too much into the

    MAYAThe council meeting was a battlefield without weapons.I sat at the far end of the table because Kael insisted the discussion concerned kingdom security and my presence was a courtesy not a right. I let him have the small victory. I was saving my energy for the larger war.Every council member was present. Kael at his usual seat. Lord Harlen to his left. Lady Voss to his right. General Maddox at the far end studying the table like it contained military secrets. Two other members whose names I had learned but whose loyalties I had not yet mapped.And Asher. At the head. Silver eyes fixed on the letter spread before him like it was a declaration of war.Which it was."The challenge is legally sound" Kael began. His voice was measured. Almost sympathetic. The tone of a man delivering bad news he had been praying for. "The ancient laws regar

    ASHERThe message arrived at dawn carried by a uniformed courier who rode through our gates under a white flag.Formal. Official. Stamped with the Crescent Moon pack seal and addressed not just to me but to every major Alpha and pack leader within a thousand miles.Damien had made it public. Deliberately. Strategically. He wanted the entire world watching when I opened this envelope.Ethan brought it to me in the war room. He set it on the table without a word. His jaw was tight which told me he had already read it.I broke the seal and unfolded the letter.To His Majesty the Lycan King Asher Baxton.I Alpha Damien of the Crescent Moon pack hereby issue a formal challenge to the legitimacy of the union between yourself and Maya Stone formerly of the Blue Moon pack.The rejection of our mate bond was p

    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 very valuable piece.Bryce delivered the scout report at dawn. He stood in my study doorway looking nervous which was his permanent state these days. Damien's spiral into obsession was making everyone in the pack uneasy. Bryce most of all because he was close enough to see the cracks spreading through his Alpha's mind."The Lycan Kingdom conducted a rescue operation" Bryce said. "A team infiltrated a rogue trafficking compound near the southern border. They extracted twelve Blue Moon survivors and brought them inside the kingdom walls."I set my tea down carefully. "Maya led the mission?""She was part of it. Took a wolfsbane wound during the extraction. Reports say she carried one of the sur

    MAYAGetting my people into the kingdom was the easy part. Keeping them safe inside it was the war nobody warned me about.The twelve Blue Moon survivors were housed in the lower east quarter. A cluster of small stone buildings near the outer wall that had been used as storage facilities before I convinced Asher to convert them into temporary housing.Convinced was a generous word. I had stood in his study and refused to leave until he signed the order. He signed it in under four minutes. A new record for our negotiations.But buildings were just walls. What my people needed was acceptance. And acceptance in the Lycan Kingdom was a currency that wolves could not buy.The problems started on day one.A palace cook refused to prepare meals for the survivors. She said her kitchen served Lycans and she was not running a charity for strays. I walked into that kitchen and stood in front of her station until she met my eyes."You will prepare three meals a day for the survivors in the east q
