IVY’S POV

I didn’t sleep.

Not really.

I lay on a bed that wasn’t mine, in a place that didn’t feel real, staring at a ceiling carved from stone instead of cheap plaster, listening to a silence that wasn’t silence at all.

It breathed.

Shifted.

Watched.

Every creak of the hall, every distant echo, every whisper of wind slipping through broken doors—it all felt like a countdown.

To what, I didn’t know.

But my body did.

It stayed tense.

Ready.

Wrong.

I turned onto my side, pulling the rough blanket

    KAEL’S POVInside.They were already inside.That changed everything.I didn’t waste time asking how.Didn’t waste breath on questions that wouldn’t keep anyone alive.“Where?” I demanded.The scout swallowed hard. “East corridor—near the lower halls. They’re not hiding anymore.”Of course they weren’t.This wasn’t infiltration.This was escalation.I turned, already moving. “Seal the inner gates. Wake everyone. No one moves alone.”The wolf nodded and took off without another word.Behind me, I heard Ivy’s footsteps hesitate for half a second.Then follow.Good.At least she was learning.The hall blurred past as I cut through the corridors, muscle memory taking over. Stone walls, torchlight, shadow—this place was carved into me. I knew every turn, every choke point, every place an enemy could use against us.And right now—They were using all of them.A distant crash echoed from below.Metal on stone.A scream followed.Short.Cut off.I didn’t slow.“Kael—” Ivy’s voice came from be

    IVY’S POVI didn’t sleep.Not really.I lay on a bed that wasn’t mine, in a place that didn’t feel real, staring at a ceiling carved from stone instead of cheap plaster, listening to a silence that wasn’t silence at all.It breathed.Shifted.Watched.Every creak of the hall, every distant echo, every whisper of wind slipping through broken doors—it all felt like a countdown.To what, I didn’t know.But my body did.It stayed tense.Ready.Wrong.I turned onto my side, pulling the rough blanket tighter around me.Didn’t help.Nothing helped.Because even when everything else went quiet—He didn’t.The bond pulsed.Slow.Steady.Constant.Kael.Somewhere in the hall. Awake. Moving. Thinking.Always thinking.I squeezed my eyes shut.“I hate this,” I whispered.The bond didn’t respond.Of course it didn’t.It just… existed.Like a second heartbeat I never asked for.After a while—minutes, hours, I couldn’t tell—I gave up.Sleep wasn’t coming.Not tonight.I pushed myself up, swinging my

    KAEL’S POVShe came back.I knew she would.Not because of the bond—though it pulsed the second she crossed back into the hall, steady and undeniable—but because of the way she’d looked before she walked out.Torn.People like that didn’t run.Not yet.I didn’t turn when I heard her footsteps behind me.Didn’t acknowledge her return.If she stayed, it had to be her choice.Not mine.The fire cracked low in the hearth, shadows stretching across the stone floor as I stood near the long table, hands braced against its edge, head lowered.Thinking.Calculating.Failing to find a solution I didn’t already hate.“They’re still out there.”Her voice broke the silence.Quiet.Tired.But steady.“I know,” I said.She stepped closer.I could feel it—the shift in air, the subtle warmth that came with her presence, the way the bond reacted like something relieved.Annoying.“Then why does it feel like you’re not doing anything about it?”I straightened slowly, turning to face her.“Because chargi

    IVY’S POVBy the time we made it back inside, the silence felt heavier than the fight.Not the good kind of silence—the kind that lets you breathe.This one pressed.Watched.Judged.The hall of the Blackthorns looked the same as before—stone, fire, shadows—but something had shifted. Maybe it was me. Maybe it was the way the doors now hung broken, letting the cold night bleed into a place that was supposed to be untouchable.Safe.If this place was safe, I didn’t want to see dangerous.Kael didn’t speak as we walked in.Didn’t look at me either.That should’ve made things easier.It didn’t.Because I could still feel him.The bond hadn’t quieted after the fight—it had changed. Slower now. Heavier. Like something settling into place that neither of us could undo.I hated it.I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to block it out.Didn’t work.“Say something,” I muttered.Kael stopped walking.Slowly, he turned.His eyes found mine, gold dimmed but still too sharp, too aware.“What do

    KAEL’S POVThe first body hit the ground before the howl finished.They came in waves.Not wild. Not reckless.Disciplined.That was the first problem.The second was that they weren’t afraid.Rogues feared Alphas. They feared territory, dominance, the rules written in blood and instinct.These ones didn’t.They moved like they had nothing left to lose.Or worse—Like they thought they couldn’t lose.“Stay on my left!” I barked.Ivy didn’t answer.She didn’t need to.I felt her.The bond pulsed—sharp, alive—tracking her position even when my eyes couldn’t. Sparks lit the edges of my vision as she moved, fast, unpredictable, her power snapping through the dark like fractured lightning.Good.Let them see it.Let them understand what they came for.A rogue lunged from the right.I pivoted, blade slicing clean through his throat before he could close the distance. Blood sprayed hot across my hand, the scent thick in the air.Another came from behind.Too slow.I drove my elbow back, hear

    IVY’S POVThe silence after the fight didn’t last.It never did.It stretched thin—fragile, trembling—like glass about to crack under pressure. Every instinct in my body told me the same thing:Run.But I didn’t.Because outside those broken doors, something waited.And inside… so did he.Kael stood near the entrance, blade still in his hand, shoulders squared like he was bracing against something invisible. The wind pushed through the shattered wood, cold and sharp, carrying the scent of wolves.Not one.Not three.Many.My stomach twisted.“You said this was a message,” I said, forcing my voice to stay steady. “What kind of message sends three bodies ahead of the army?”Kael didn’t look at me.“The kind that wants to see how hard you bite before it commits.”I crossed my arms, more to stop my hands from shaking than anything else. “So we passed the test?”A beat.Then—“No,” he said quietly. “We survived it.”That didn’t feel like a win.Another howl split the night, closer this tim
