MAYA

We walked back to the palace in silence.

Not the comfortable silence we had shared on balconies and in corridors. This was different. This was the silence of two people who had just been turned inside out and were still trying to figure out which parts belonged to whom.

The bond was alive. Fully awake. A living breathing thing that pulsed between us with every step. I could feel Asher beside me without lookin

    ASHERI was dying.Not metaphorically. Not dramatically. Literally dying on a surgical table while a healer worked frantically to save me.The crossbow bolt had done more damage than anyone realized. Punctured something vital. The wolfsbane in my system prevented proper healing. My wolf was too weak to fight.I could feel it. The cold spreading from my core. The way my heartbeat stuttered. The darkness pressing in from all sides.And through it all. The bond. Screaming.Maya was fighting. I felt every impact. Every near miss. Every moment of terror as Gabriel's forces overwhelmed the palace.She was trying to hold. Trying to protect my kingdom while I bled out on a table.I wanted to help. Wanted to stand beside her. Wanted to keep the promise I made on the balcony.But my body wo

    MAYAKael's body hit the marble floor with finality.The throne room went silent. Mercenaries who had been fighting for him stopped. Looked at their dead leader. Looked at Asher standing over him. Looked at the twenty loyal soldiers surrounding us.One by one they dropped their weapons."Surrender" Ethan commanded. "On your knees. Hands behind your heads."They obeyed. The coup was over. Kael was dead. The palace was ours.But Asher. He swayed. The effort of killing Kael combined with the crossbow wound and lingering wolfsbane was too much.I caught him before he fell. Eased him to the floor. His face was gray. Breathing shallow."Someone get a healer" I shouted. "Now."Through the bond I felt him. Pain. Exhaustion. But also satisfaction. He had avenged his mother. Ended Kael's manipulation. Reclaimed his throne."Did we win?" he asked. His voice barely a whisper."The palace is ours. Kael is dead. Yes. We won this part.""Good. That is good." His eyes closed. "I am very tired Maya."

    MAYAThe throne room was silent except for the sound of my boots on marble.Bodies everywhere. Loyalists. Mercenaries. The price of the coup scattered across polished floors that had never seen this much blood.And at the center. Sitting in Asher's throne. Kael.He looked comfortable. Relaxed. Like he had been waiting for me. His pale eyes tracked my approach with genuine amusement. Not fear. Not concern. Just the satisfaction of a man who believed he had already won."Maya" he said. My name casual. Like we were discussing the weather. "I wondered when you would arrive. Took you longer than expected. The palace guards put up more of a fight than anticipated."I stopped twenty feet from the throne. Blade still drawn. Blood covering my armor. Some of it mine. Most of it not."Get out of that chair."He

    JASMINEI saw them coming before anyone else did.Three of Kael's mercenaries. Breaking through the eastern corridor. Moving fast toward where Maya knelt beside the wounded King. She was focused on Asher. On keeping him alive. On the bond between them that was flickering like a dying candle.She did not see the threat.But I did.My mate's mark still burned on my collarbone. Marcus. Dead because of the attack on Blue Moon. Dead because Maya had loved the wrong man and brought hell to our doorstep.I had hated her for that. For months. For good reason.But I had also watched her carry Olivia on her back. Watched her train until she collapsed. Watched her stand on walls and fight beside us when she could have run.She had earned something. Maybe not forgiveness. But a chance. A future where she could build something bet

    MAYAI charged Isabella before anyone could stop me.The crossbow clattered from her hands. Her eyes went wide. She tried to run. Too late.I hit her. Full force. Drove her into the marble floor. My fist connected with her face. Once. Twice. Blood sprayed.Hands grabbed me. Pulled me back. Rhea's voice in my ear."Maya. Stop. She is not worth it. Asher needs you."Asher.I spun. He was on the ground. The crossbow bolt through his shoulder. Blood pooling beneath him. His face was pale. Too pale.I dropped beside him. Pressed my hands to the wound. Blood seeped between my fingers."You idiot. Why did you do that?""Could not let you die" he said. His voice was weak. Strained. "Not when I just got you back."Through the bond I felt his pain. Sharp. Overwhelmi

    ISABELLAI arrived at the palace expecting triumph.Ten fighters. Damien's most loyal. The ones who had not turned when Gabriel betrayed. The ones who still believed in rescuing Maya from the Lycan King.Fools. All of them. But useful fools.We rode through the battlefield. Bodies everywhere. Damien's army shattered. Gabriel's forces scattered. Lycans holding their walls. Chaos that smelled like failure and blood.But I did not care about the battle. I cared about the promise.Kael had promised me Maya. Promised me justice. Promised me the satisfaction of watching Damien's obsession die in front of him.I walked through the palace gates like I owned them. Guards tried to stop me. I showed them the seal Kael had given me. They stepped aside.Inside was chaos. Fighting. Loyalists against mercenaries. Blood on marble flo

    MAYAThe arena was bigger than I expected.It sat at the heart of the kingdom. A massive circular pit carved from dark stone with tiered seating rising up on all sides like the jaws of a beast waiting to swallow me whole. Hundreds of Lycans filled the seats. Nobles. Soldiers. Servants. All of them

    MAYAI was still thinking about what Rhea said when the knock came.She trained my father. The woman who had been beating me into the dirt every morning for weeks had trained the man who raised me. The questions were piling up faster than I could process them. How did she know him? When did she tra

    MAYAThe emergency session Kael called turned out to be a false alarm.He claimed to have evidence of a wolf spy inside the palace but when pressed for specifics all he produced was a vague report about "unusual scent patterns" in the servants quarters. Asher shut it down before it gained traction

    MAYATwo weeks. Fourteen days of being knocked into the dirt so many times I lost count.My body was a map of bruises. Purple and blue and yellow patches covered my arms and legs like paint splattered by an angry artist. My ribs ached when I breathed. My shoulders screamed when I raised my arms. My
