Liam:

She was small. Clever, but small.

When I had seen her the first time, when her mother was at the Infirmary, I saw her strengthen her eyes, but now that she was pushing me away, I found myself watching from a distance.

Never did I think that I would have a child, especially not with Alaria. The two of us were distant for quite a while. I did not think that she would be carrying my child, that one drunken night would be enough for her to become pregnant.

But there she was. The little girl that I never thought could exist.

Curled up on the edge of the couch, one arm wrapped around a fraying stuffed wolf, the other clenched tightly in her mother’s shawl as if the fabric itself could protect her.

My daughter.

Mine.

And she was terrified of me.

“Hi,” I said, my voice softer than I’d ever heard it. “Anastasia, right?”

She didn’t answer. Her eyes flicked to me, wide, wary, blue-green like the edge of winter, and then immediately darted down. She pressed herself tighter against Alaria’s

    Bianca:I always knew that my brother had no remorse… but I never thought that he would stoop that low.It was quiet in the corridor outside the infirmary, the kind of silence that doesn’t comfort, it strangles. And no matter how hard I try to breathe, it was difficult.I stayed there long after Darius left the room, long after Alaria’s muffled breathing had steadied again. The maids had been dismissed, the doctor retreated to her office, and the hall lights had dimmed to their usual cold glow.But my mind wouldn’t still.And with every passing moment, the heaviness that filled my chest just kept pressing more.I’d heard him. I’d seen the look on his face when he stepped out and shut the door. Nothing, no flicker of guilt, no trace of hesitation. Just that same unnerving calm. The kind of calm that comes before something breaks.And I knew what that meant.He wasn’t done with her.Not by a long shot.He was going to keep her here and if he had the chance, he would claim the children a

    Alaria:The first thing I felt was warmth, soft and heavy against my side.Then the faint scent of something familiar. Smoke and pine. Though I knew deep down that it was not the scent that I wanted to have. Nor was it the one that I wanted to be around.When my eyes fluttered open, the ceiling wasn’t the same one I remembered from my room. The air here was cleaner, sharper, humming with the quiet rhythm of medical machines. A muted ache pulsed at the back of my skull, and for a few seconds, I couldn’t remember how I’d gotten here.Then I heard it…a small voice, broken with worry.“Mama.”I turned my head too quickly. Dizziness swept through me, but I blinked until the blur cleared. I did not want her to see me this way.Anastasia was there, her hair tangled, her small fingers clutching the blanket. And beside her, of all people, stood Darius. He wasn’t holding her roughly. He wasn’t shouting. He carried her carefully, as if she were made of glass, one arm steady around her until he

    Darius:“Where are you going, Darius?”“I do not think that I'm going to be explaining anything to you, Bianca.” I said, making my sister's eyes darken with annoyance.I walked towards her for the third time tonight, though I knew that she was going to be ignoring me.The corridor outside her room was silent when I passed through it again. Dinner had long been cleared, the maids gone, and the house had fallen into the sort of hush that always came before the storm. Everything seemed peaceful, but I was no fool. I knew that her mind was in a whirl storm.My wolf was tense, as if sensing something, but I knew that no one would dare approach. Not yet. And Liam, he was not going to know where she was.I hadn’t expected her to eat, if anything, I expect you to hurt to have more resilience. I had half a mind to let her starve just to prove her defiance was only temporary. But when I stepped closer to the door, I caught the faint clink of cutlery from inside. She’d given in.Or so I thought

    Darius:Bianca’s voice followed me before the door had even closed behind Alaria.“You’re allowing her to overstep you.” She said, looking at me like I grew a second head. “I have never seen anyone, let alone a woman, speak to you like that and just get away with it. Needless to say, you seem to have ignored your morals and everything that you’ve ever stood for. And for what? I don’t understand what you’re trying to do.”I didn’t turn at first. I poured myself a glass of wine instead, letting the dark liquid swirl, its reflection catching the lamplight. Her tone was sharper than usual, more daring. Most wolves would have known better. But Bianca was not most wolves. She was my sister, my blood, and if anyone had the right to speak to me, it was her. but even she knew to control herself when it came to the reality of how things were supposed to be.“She’ll break before long,” I said finally, lifting the glass to my lips. “They always do. And I don’t expect you to understand this when i

    Alaria:The door opened again, slow this time, as if he enjoyed the sound of his own entrance. I was sitting in the living room, the first room that I’d entered since the bedroom that I’ve been staying in.I didn’t look up at first. The sight of him had already carved itself deep enough into my mind. But when his footsteps stopped a few feet away, I lifted my gaze. My eyes as cold as ice, and my gaze as hard as steel as I kept looking at him.Darius stood there, composed as ever, hands clasped behind his back, his black shirt open at the throat, that same calm arrogance in every line of him. His eyes studied me, sharp and deliberate, like a predator waiting for movement.“I assume you’ve already called him,” I said, my voice flat. I didn’t even have it in me to keep fighting him at this point.He smiled faintly. “You assume correctly.”“What did you tell him?”“Only the truth,” he said with mock sincerity. “That you’re safe. That you’re happy. That his daughter finally has the father

    Liam:Three days.That’s how long it had been since Alaria and Anastasia vanished.That is how long it has been since I’ve started losing my mind on how it could have happened. “I still don't understand.”Three days of scouring every corner of the territory, turning the forests inside out, tearing through the borders like a man possessed. Every scent, every trace, every whisper, dead ends. And every passing hour had carved another piece of me away. And no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't help but think the worst.The study looked like it had survived a storm. Maps spread across the table, papers torn, glasses shattered. Kai stood near the door, silent, watching me unravel in ways he’d never seen before.“She wouldn’t just leave,” I muttered, again, because I needed to hear it out loud, needed to believe it. “She wouldn’t take Nasia and vanish. I know her. She's not going to do it. She might have done it before. It was a past. She wouldn't do it now, not when everything was as beaut
