Cass’s POV

“Miss Cassandra,” one of the mansion servants called.

I was in one of my favorite sitting rooms—a quiet space with tall windows overlooking NightFang’s inner garden. Soft daylight filtered in, not too bright, reflecting off the dark wooden floors and charcoal-gray sofas. This room always brought me a sense of calm. It wasn’t noisy, not crowded, and somehow… it felt like home.

“Yes?” I closed the report in my hands.

Across from me, Iris sat at a small table, her eyes shining as she examined several medicinal plants neatly arranged in clay pots. Alice stood beside her, while a NightFang pack member—a silver-haired man with a serious expression—explained the purpose of each leaf with quiet dedication.

“This one help reduce mild fever,” he said. “But it needs to be dried first.”

Iris nodded eagerly. “What about this one?”

“That one mustn’t be touched directly.”

I smiled faintly at her curiosity.

“Miss,” the servant spoke again, bowing slightly. “Lady Iris’s tutor will arrive at

    Alaric’s POVThe silence inside the elevator feels too absolute.The metal doors slide shut slowly, reflecting my own image—an expressionless face, eyes showing nothing but calculation. The indicator lights tick downward one by one. I’m not thinking about Lyra. Nor Vania. There’s only one thing on my mind: the information has leaked.“Report,” I say the moment the doors open.Russel walks beside me, his stride matching mine. “Cyan was eavesdropping outside the ward. The keywords he clearly caught were: Iris, coming, hospital.”“Who did he send the message to?”“Vania,” Russel answers without hesitation.I stop briefly at the end of the corridor. The distant footsteps of nurses and the rhythmic beeping of monitors drift faintly through the air. “Cut off all of Cyan’s access. There’s no reason for him to be on this floor.”“Understood.”“And one more thing,” I add. “Restrict all

    Lyra’s POVNights in the hospital always feel colder.The lights in my room are dimmed, the sound of nurses’ footsteps grows scarce, and the monitor beside my bed ticks softly—as if reminding me that my body now carries something that cannot be taken lightly.I’m still not fully used to that word. Pregnant.I rest a hand over my stomach. There’s no visible change yet, no obvious signs. But the reality is there. A small life, settled inside me for who knows how long, binding my position far more tightly than before.The door opens quietly.“Mother?”Vania enters in hurried steps, her eyes immediately locking onto me. Her face has been pale since this afternoon, but now there’s something else there—a mix of relief and excitement she can barely hide.“Lyra,” she says, slightly breathless. “Is… is this news true?”I

    Raymond shook his head. “No effect. All dosages were correct. I adjusted them to work alongside the medical drugs as well. This is purely psychological.”“Thank you,” I said shortly.Vania stepped closer. “You heard that, didn’t you? She’s under mental strain. Because of you.”I didn’t respond.“I’ll stay here,” I said at last—not to Vania, but to Raymond. “Monitor her condition.”Raymond nodded and left, ushering Vania and Alan out with him, their quiet sobs trailing behind them. The door closed, leaving only Lyra and me.“You’re angry with me,” Lyra said slowly.“I’m making sure you’re safe,” I replied evenly.Her smile widened. “That sounds like obligation, not concern.”I pulled out a chair and sat down. “Iris misses you.”The word instantly changed her exp

    Alaric’s POVThe sharp, sterile scent of medicine and antiseptic clung to the air the moment the doors of SilverFang Hospital sealed shut behind me. The hallway was far too quiet for a place that held so much desperation. Overhead, the white lights hummed with a steady, cold indifference, as if they couldn’t care less about the lives hanging in the balance behind closed doors.I walked without haste. There was no surge of urgency in my chest, no frantic worry to quicken my pace. Only a simple, clinical awareness: Lyra was the Luna. And as the Luna, she had to be protected. It was as simple as that.Raymond was already waiting for me outside her room, his expression grave—excessively so. Through the clear glass, I could see Lyra’s body amidst a tangle of tubes and the slow, rhythmic pulse of the monitors. She looked pale, more fragile than I remembered. Yet, the sight stirred nothing in me beyond an objective assessment.

    Alaric’s POV“Focus the evidence on the breach of contract clause,” I said, snapping the folder shut. “The second hearing isn't for theatrics. We present facts, not opinions.”Russel stood at my right hand, tablet at the ready. “The legal team is prepared, Alpha. All expert witnesses have confirmed their attendance.”“See to it they arrive early,” I replied curtly. “I don't like surprises.”The meeting was intense. Financial charts cycled across the screen as board members reported their readiness in quick succession. Then, my phone buzzed against the tabletop.Once.I ignored it.Twice.Russel stole a glance at the screen, then looked back at me. I pushed forward with the meeting.The third vibration was longer, more insistent. Jack’s name flashed across the display.I exhaled a slow, controlled breath and picked up. “What is it?”“Alpha,” Jack’s voice was taut with tension. “Lady Lyra has been crying since this morning. Her fever won't break. The physician suggests that you—”“I’m i

    "That’s right," I replied, my smile reaching my eyes this time. "You were paying very close attention."She ducked her head back down, her pen flying across the paper, before looking up yet again. "And this letter—if you arrange it like this—it changes the whole meaning, doesn't it?"I nodded encouragingly. "You're a very fast learner, Iris."Iris let out a tiny, airy laugh. It was an unburdened sound, the laugh of a child who finally had something wonderful to look forward to.And I knew then—beneath this sudden burst of academic focus was the one thing making her heart feel weightless. Hope. The chance to speak with Lyra.The realization touched me gently, yet it left a deep mark. A part of me felt a quiet sorrow—not because she missed Lyra, but because this specific brand of happiness wasn't something I could give her. I was merely the one standing by her side, the guardian ensuring her world stayed safe and steady.I watched her for a beat longer than necessary. This, I realized,
